Potato and cabbage is a dish, chicken, duck, fish and beef are also dishes, as is a bird nest and a bears paw; radish soup is soup, egg and laver is soup, but tortoise and soft-shelled turtle soup is too. So it can be said that “four dishes, one soup” is whatever I want it to be.”,Thank You !,Goodbye,
