The Bai River is rich in fish, with countless species of all sizes.
Shen Hao was lucky today; he caught a "Clear Wave," a species of fish with tender, delicious meat, perfect for braising or making soup.
The small boat was clearly rented from a fishing family; onboard, there was a simple charcoal stove along with some basic cookware and tableware.
The freshest river fish actually don't need any complicated or skillful cooking methods. Draw water from the Bai River, boil it, then cut the cleaned fish into pieces and put them in the pot; a bit of salt is all it takes.
Pure Clear Wave soup—it was enough that Shen Hao helped himself to two bowls and felt quite satisfied.
Wu Kai ate as well, his face regaining a hearty smile, and his demeanor was completely different from before. Now he seemed just like a straightforward military man—no sign of petty calculation, and the playful look in his eyes had vanished.
"I didn't expect Lord Shen to be such a good cook!"
