"Then what do you think we should do? You can't have your cake and eat it too, you can't order both, right?" Shen Chen shared the menu.

"Good idea, order both," Mo Xiaoyan immediately straightened up from the table where she was lying.

"We also ordered a lot of home-cooked dishes," Shen Chen disagreed, "Besides, do you bring enough money?"

"Let me take a look," Mo Xiaoyan grabbed the menu and looked at the prices inside. Then she grabbed the filled-in menu and compared the prices one by one.

"Make a decision quickly," Shen Chen felt that he had almost drank enough water.

"Can we not order home-cooked food and just order two fish?" Mo Xiaoyan asked Shen Chen innocently.

"No!" He objected firmly.

"Why?" Mo Xiaoyan curled his lips.

"Because you can't have your cake and eat it too, you have to learn to make trade-offs," Shen Chen also curled his lips, "Aren't you very good at Chinese? You also want to be a writer, so why don't you understand this?"

"That's ancient prose, adapted to ancient times. I'm a modern person with very open ideas. I'm different from them, who call them old-fashioned." Mo Xiaoyan defended.

"What kind of excuse, modern man?" Shen Chen disdainfully said.

"A person who gives up a choice is too stupid. He can trade half a bear paw with a fish seller for a fish. You know, bear paws are extremely expensive nowadays," Mo Xiaoyan reasoned for a while.

"What if you only have fish?" Shen Chen smiled.

"Then practice your eloquence first, and then go to the bear paw seller and convince the bear paw seller to give you half." Mo Xiaoyan said plausibly.

"Then how long will it take you to practice your eloquence?" Shen Chen stopped laughing.

"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing," Mo Xiaoyan gave him a determined look.

"Stop talking nonsense and order quickly. You can't treat me to a drink of water until I'm full, right?" Shen Chen didn't bother to pay attention to her arrogant theory. "I'm going to the bathroom. You'd better do it before I come back." Now that we have decided, it would be even better if the food is delicious!”

So, when Shen Chen came back from the bathroom, it was indeed ready. Not only was it ready, there were only two dishes - grilled fish and pickled fish, and nothing else.
