Early in the morning, almost as soon as the city gates opened, they rushed out of the city with great fanfare, seemingly determined to catch all the fish in the river. They even brought six buckets to hold the fish, but...

Poor Chef Li had prepared more than thirty dishes for the whole fish feast, just waiting for them to deliver the fish so he could show off his skills. But after waiting and waiting, they only delivered two fish, which he felt were not enough even for soup.

Xie Jingyan served Shen Wan a bowl of fish soup.

I must say, the fish soup was incredibly delicious.

Shen Wan sipped her fish soup and asked, "Did they go fishing again this afternoon?"

Shen Wan is already considering whether to cancel her plans to have a whole fish feast by the river during her next day off.

If you can't catch any fish, you'll have to eat the northwest wind to fill your stomach.

Xie Jingyan said, "They sent a cow to the mansion, and we'll have a whole cow feast tonight."

There were six of us, and only two fish. It wasn't enough to eat, but more importantly, it was embarrassing.

They simply couldn't bear the humiliation of having to cheat their way into buying fish on the street; they couldn't do such a thing.

Making a whole fish feast with store-bought fish doesn't feel quite right.

Just when they didn't know what to do, a horse-drawn cart carrying an injured ox came onto the main road from a side road. The ox had accidentally fallen down a hillside and broken both its legs. They had no choice but to report it to the authorities and take the ox to the city to sell it.

Upon seeing the cow, the group immediately had an idea.

Isn't this a whole cow feast delivered right to our doorstep?

He immediately spent money to buy the whole cow and sent it, along with the two fish, to the Ling Prince's residence.

We have the ingredients, but preparing them takes time, so there's definitely no time to cook lunch. We'll have to have a whole cow feast for dinner.
