[Yes, at least buy some vegetables, a good mix of meat and vegetables.]
[There should be quite a bit of money left over from yesterday's meal. Most of the six dishes were vegetarian, so there should be some left over.]
[If I only eat fish, I will vomit...]

Soon, thanks to Jiang Baizhi's efforts, four different fish dishes were freshly prepared: stewed fish, braised fish, spicy fish, and scallion fish. Although each of these fish dishes looked fresh and delicious, the visual effect of the four fish dishes placed together was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory and seemed too monotonous.
Jiang Baizhi didn't seem to feel anything about it. She smiled and said, "It's finally done. Now we just have to wait for them to come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Ren and Chao Yan coming back arm in arm. It was obvious that after two days of working together, their relationship had developed by leaps and bounds.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhirou and Tan Changqing followed in. Tan Changqing was holding tools for pruning the flower beds in his hands, while Lin Zhirou was covered in sweat, and it was obvious that she had been dancing for a long time.
As soon as she entered the door, a rich aroma hit her nose. Lin Zhirou walked quickly into the living room. Without even looking at the dishes on the table, she praised directly: "Xiaozhi, you are so great, so virtuous! The dishes are all ready. Love you!"
Bai Ren followed in, but when he saw that the four dishes on the table were all fish, his expression changed instantly and he complained, "What the hell, all fish? Are you planning to get a cat?"
When Chao Yan heard this, he walked forward to take a look and his expression turned unhappy. He actually didn't particularly like eating fish.
Tan Changqing was also stunned. He looked at Jiang Baizhi in surprise and asked, "Anything else?"
"No, no more." Jiang Baizhi's eyes were a little evasive, and she said it with a guilty look. Then, as if to defend herself, she quickly added, "The fish business is not very good today, and there are a lot of leftovers. I didn't want to waste them, so I didn't buy any vegetables. I planned to let everyone eat fish, and save the money for lunch tomorrow. After all, the first live broadcast will end tomorrow afternoon, so I can have a good meal then..."
As soon as Jiang Baizhi finished speaking, Chao Yan couldn't help but frowning and said with an unhappy look on his face: "It can't be a fish banquet! I really don't like eating fish!" There was a hint of anger in his voice, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with this arrangement.
"That's right, there must be a vegetarian dish!" Bai Ren also echoed. He shook his head helplessly, his face full of resistance to the fish banquet.
"As long as there's food, that's enough. Say whatever you want!" Lin Zhirou immediately became unhappy when she heard this. She raised her chin and said angrily, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
"Okay, stop talking. Everyone is tired after a day. Baizhi, see if there are any leftover dishes from yesterday and cook some." Tan Changqing looked at the people in front of him who were on the verge of a fight and hurried out to smooth things over. His voice was gentle but firm, which made people feel at ease.
"No, no, I used it all up yesterday." Jiang Baizhi's voice was choked with sobs, her eyes full of self-blame and regret. She continued, "It's all my fault. I should have bought some vegetables. Now the market is over. It's my fault."
"Why are you crying? It's your fault in the first place." Bai Ren said angrily, his face full of dissatisfaction and anger. "Look at you, you're so unreliable and make everyone suffer!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became awkward, and the air was filled with tension. Everyone was silent, seemingly at a loss for what to do about this sudden conflict.
Just then, Qu Qingdai returned, carrying a few corns in her hands. They looked roasted, steaming and fragrant. Her hair was a little messy, and her face was slightly sweaty, clearly having just returned.
Seeing the atmosphere in the living room, she was a little surprised and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Tan Changqing replied helplessly: "Baizhi prepared a fish feast today, but Chaoyan doesn't like fish, so there is a little conflict."
Hearing Tan Changqing's words, Qu Qingdai raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself: "So they're planning a fish feast? Jiang Baizhi is quite clever." However, judging by the atmosphere, some people were already dissatisfied. "Jiang Baizhi, your wishful thinking is wrong. You're still boasting about preparing something better tomorrow. It's uncertain whether you'll have money tomorrow. The fish are gone. Let's see what you'll do next." She looked forward to the next development.
"Well, I brought some roasted corn. Would you like some?" Qu Qingdai said with a warm smile. "When I went to pick corn today, I picked a little too much. I had some left over, so I asked the owner of the roasted sweet potato shop to roast it for me. If you don't mind, how about some roasted corn?"
When Chao Yan heard this, he immediately perked up. He reached out and took two roasted corns and said, "Sure, I love roasted corns. I really don't want to eat fish today. By the way, Qingdai, thank you for breakfast this morning. It was really delicious!"
Bairen also took a roasted corn and peeled off the shell while saying, "I want one too. It's all fish. I can't stand it."
Tan Changqing looked at Jiang Baizhi, then at Qu Qingdai, and finally chose to eat fish. He said, "Then I'll eat fish. Thank you, Qingdai, for your delicious breakfast. I know Baizhi has had a hard time too, so please don't make things too hard for her."
"I don't eat corn. Come here, Xiaozhi, let's eat fish together." Lin Zhirou casually pulled Jiang Baizhi over and sat down, with a determined look on her face.
"Yeah, thank you, Rourou." Jiang Baizhi said with emotion, tears glistening in her eyes. She then looked at everyone and continued with a hint of apology, "I'm really sorry, I didn't think about it so much. I will definitely cook more dishes tomorrow so that everyone can eat to their satisfaction."
