Eri Kisaki smiled helplessly.

After the two playfully wrestled for a while, she finally spoke up to stop them, saying, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Isn't this a blue crab? How come it's so big?"

"It's big enough, it weighs 2 jin (1 catties). Xiaolan is really lucky."

As Yuu Nan spoke, he weighed the large blue crab in his hand, his face full of admiration.

"Then we can have a good feast tonight!" Xiaolan said excitedly, looking at the large blue crab she had found.

"Not just one meal, two meals would be enough."

Yu Sheng Nan took a sturdy rope, tied the large blue crab up, threw it into the basin, and then turned around and reached into the hole again to feel around.

Then, to the surprise of the mother and daughter, he pinched out another large blue crab, slightly smaller than the one before.

"These are a pair of crabs, one male and one female."

Yuzuru chuckled and shook the female crab.

He didn't know whether to say it was Xiaolan's incredible luck or some other reason.

It's late August now, the time when mud crab meat is at its most tender and succulent.

An old saying goes: "A cicada in August is worth a chicken."

The reason is that the mud crabs at this time have not yet entered their mating season and have not consumed too much energy, so their meat is firm and elastic, and has an excellent taste.

As it turned out, these two large blue crabs defied the laws of nature and started dating early on.

They deserved to be wiped out by Xiaolan.

After putting the two large blue crabs into the bucket, Xiaolan once again left her husband and mother behind and happily went on a treasure hunt.

"This child seems like he'll never grow up."

Eri watched her daughter's cheerful departing figure, her face full of doting smiles, and gently shook her head.

"Isn't this great? Always happy, and leave the troubles to me."

Yuzuru stood to the side, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled faintly.

Eri Kisaki turned her head and looked at his face, which was filled with a warm smile, and her expression suddenly became somewhat dazed.

"Yes, as long as we're always happy..." she murmured softly, a hint of longing and contentment in her eyes.

Yuzuru noticed that Eri Kisaki was in a bad mood, so he squatted down and reached out to dig open a small, slightly bulging bump on the beach.

A cat's-eye snail lying in the sand was thus revealed.

"Auntie, pinch it." Yu Shengnan said with a mischievous smile, handing over the cat's eye snail and gesturing for her to pinch the edge of the snail's skirt.

In a bad mood, Eri Kisaki didn't think much at the moment. She took the cat's eye snail, put it in front of her, and subconsciously squeezed it hard.

The next second, a large amount of water suddenly gushed out from the hem of the cat's eye snail, splashing it all onto her face without any deviation.

The water flowed down her high, straight nose and slowly slid over her rosy lips, making her look somewhat disheveled yet adorable.

"Ah!" Eri Kisaki couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hahahaha!!" Yuzuru Nan laughed loudly without any restraint.

Eri Kisaki then realized she had been tricked and glared at Nanami Yuzuru with a reproachful look, "You child, you're always teasing me."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare tease Auntie. I just forgot for a moment," Yu Shengnan quickly stopped laughing and said, feigning innocence.

After this playful tussle, Eri Kisaki regained her smile and felt more relaxed, continuing her beachcombing activities.

...

Before we knew it, the brilliant afterglow of the setting sun spread out slowly like a golden veil, and the sky was adorned with a magnificent sunset.

The three, laden with their spoils, met up in front of the beach chairs.

Xiao Lan had the most bountiful harvest, her small bucket overflowing with water.

It's packed full of abalone, crab, sea cucumber, razor clams, tiger clams, and more.

There was even a giant octopus that could coil up a person's head, its thick tentacles wriggling restlessly in the bucket.

Yuzuru glanced at his still-unfilled bucket, clicked his tongue, and said with a slightly exaggerated tone, "I feel like if you keep going like this, Ran, you could bring back whales."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a fountain suddenly rose from the distant sea.

Under the picturesque glow of the setting sun, the fountain refracted seven colors, forming a beautiful rainbow.

"Okay, you've retrieved it."

"hey-hey……"

Xiao Lan triumphantly held down the giant octopus that was trying to escape from the bucket.

The giant octopus struggled fiercely, its powerful tentacles waving incessantly. Unfortunately, it was facing Xiao Lan, whose fighting prowess was off the charts. With two powerful punches, the giant octopus deflated like a punctured balloon, immediately giving up the struggle and accepting its fate.

Eri Kisaki smiled and said, "That's about enough. Let's pack up and get ready for the barbecue."

"Okay!"

Yuzuru responded, took out the all-purpose capsule, and released the equipment needed for the barbecue.

The three of them quickly got to work and sorted the seafood.

Xiaolan held the giant octopus firmly, preventing it from escaping.

Hanyu Nan skillfully set up the barbecue grill, lit the charcoal, and prepared to start cooking this sumptuous seafood feast.

Eri was preparing some ingredients on the side, chopping scallions and crushing garlic with great skill, clearly someone who cooks often.

To avoid eating some truly awful food, Yuzuru Hanyu solemnly declared that he would cook the meal, and Eri Kisaki would only need to assist Ran.

Eri Kisaki felt a little regretful that she couldn't show her son-in-law her culinary skills.

"This crab needs to be grilled for a while to absorb the flavor better."

As Yuzuru spoke, he placed the crabs on the grill.

Xiaolan stared intently from the side, swallowing her saliva every now and then. "It smells so good, I can't wait."

"We can eat it right away," Yuzuru said with a smile.

Soon, the seafood on the grill sizzled and emitted an enticing aroma. He brushed the prepared sauce evenly onto the seafood, making the aroma even more intense.

Soon, the first batch of grilled seafood was ready.

Yuzuru placed them on a plate and handed them to Ran and Eri.

"Be careful, it's hot. Eat slowly."

"Yes, I know!"

Xiaolan eagerly picked up a crab, took a bite, and said with satisfaction, "It's so delicious! This is the best grilled crab I've ever had!"

Eri Kisaki also took a bite gracefully, her eyes full of admiration: "It's truly delicious."

"Of course, I'll make sure you have a satisfying meal today," Yu Shengnan boasted, then turned around to continue preparing the other seafood.

Xiao Lan steamed the two large blue crabs she caught, made garlic sauce with the razor clams she dug up, and made salt and pepper sauce with sandworms, which are believed to have kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac properties.

Small fish, shrimp, and shellfish are gathered together to cook a pot of delicious soup.

The giant octopus, having given up struggling, was torn to pieces and grilled on a hot plate.

Cut it into small pieces, place them on a griddle, and let them sizzle under the heat. As the surface gradually turns golden brown and crispy, Yuzuru constantly flips the giant octopus to ensure that each piece is grilled evenly.

Freshly killed and prepared, emphasizing freshness.
