afternoon.

A district in Guannei, Shenzhen.

While carefully washing the crabs in his hands, Father Huang muttered, "This kid is really lucky. Even I can rarely taste the first-hand crabs, but he actually got to have it on his first visit. I have to say he's really lucky."

The crabs that Huang's father cleaned were the butter crabs, which are known as the king of crabs. Their price is the highest among all domestic crabs. In restaurants over in Hong Kong, they are priced by the ounce, and each ounce costs up to hundreds of Hong Kong dollars, making them very valuable.

"Head and hand sea oil" is the jargon, referring to the top-grade wild butter crab. The crab oil has penetrated the joints of the crab and each crab leg. The oil is evenly distributed on the crab legs, and is plump, orange-yellow and transparent. When you break the crab legs, you can see the butter dripping out.

This top-quality butter crab is hard to come by, and even rich people can’t get it if they want to.

"This young man is really blessed with good food."

Huang's mother, who was picking the shrimp thread from the prawns, also nodded in agreement. She then glanced at her daughter who was laughing foolishly beside her and sighed, "Old Huang, look at how happy your daughter is. It's true that you can't keep her when she grows up!"

"Mother, can you please not slander your daughter?"

Huang's mother smiled and said, "This is not insulting, this is called expressing one's feelings."

Huang Lingwei quickly reached out and pinched her mother's shoulders, begging for mercy: "Mother, please be merciful."

Huang's mother couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Father Huang put aside a clean butter crab and said, "My dear, don't be too happy too soon. Although we don't object to you having a boyfriend, if your boyfriend can't pass our test, don't blame us for stopping you from dating!"

Huang Lingwei massaged her mother's shoulders while looking at her father and said, "Comrade Huang, let me make it clear in advance that when you meet someone later, no matter whether you are satisfied or not, you must not show your displeasure to their face, otherwise I will ignore you!"

Father Huang picked up another butter crab and said as he cleaned it, "That's not the case. After all, this is the first boyfriend my daughter brought home. No matter how dissatisfied she is, she won't show her displeasure to him in person."

Huang Lingwei said confidently: "As long as you can make a fair assessment, he will definitely meet your requirements for a son-in-law."

"So confident?"

After that, Huang's mother nodded again and said, "Yes, from what you said, he just graduated from college last year, and then in less than half a year, he started a company from scratch and made a lot of money. I think he is very capable."

Huang's father continued, "It's not enough to just have the ability to make money. Although our family is not the richest, we are not short of money. He must be excellent in all aspects, and he must be good to our daughter and be loyal in his feelings, not having affairs outside."

Huang Lingwei was full of confidence in her boyfriend and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your daughter has a good eye."

Huang's father and mother looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay, let's wait and see!"

…

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Feng drove his Volvo XC90 to a district in Shenzhen again.

This time he came to Shenzhen with only one purpose, which was to convince his girlfriend's parents and make them accept him as their prospective son-in-law.

In fact, many men would inevitably feel nervous when meeting the girl's parents for the first time, fearing that the girl's parents would look down on him. For this reason, prospective sons-in-law would use all kinds of tricks in order to gain the approval of the girl's parents.

However, Jiang Feng was not nervous at all. In order to prepare for today's meeting, he had set up a plan to become brothers with his future father-in-law two or three months ago. What was there to be nervous about?

As for his future mother-in-law, Jiang Feng knew her preferences very clearly. As long as they met and started chatting, he could scratch her itch in minutes. Why would he be afraid of not being able to handle her?

Jiang Feng knew where Huang Lingwei lived. He had picked her up at the gate of the community before. So after arriving at a certain area, Jiang Feng drove towards Huang Lingwei's house with familiarity.

More than half an hour later, Jiang Feng arrived at the community where Huang Lingwei lived.

After parking the car, Jiang Feng called Huang Lingwei.

…

Huang family.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Lingwei stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, he's here. I'll go out and pick him up."

Huang's mother nodded and said, "Well, go ahead, Old Huang, put those butter crabs in ice water and prepare to steam them."

"knew!"

Huang's father responded, then took out the ice water he had prepared from the freezer and put the alive butter crabs in to freeze. When the butter crabs were frozen to a numb and slightly stiff state, they could be "turned over" and placed on a plate to be steamed.

After watching her daughter leave, Huang's mother sighed anxiously, "Oh, I don't know what kind of boyfriend Weiwei has found. It looks like she has her heart set on him.

If the other person is suitable for her, that's a good thing. If not, then this matter is really difficult to handle!"

At this time, Huang's father also had mixed feelings in his heart, and said: "The relationship between men and women is the most irrational, and people in love generally have low IQs. They only see the advantages of each other and will subconsciously ignore the shortcomings of each other. When two people enter the marriage hall, the shortcomings of the other party will be infinitely magnified, and then all kinds of conflicts will arise.

We are not the kind of feudal parents who forcefully arrange our children's marriages. We cannot interfere too much in our daughter's marriage. We can only try to help her discover the other party's shortcomings and serve as a reminder to her. The real decision is still hers."

Huang's mother thankfully said, "Fortunately, our daughter started dating when she was about to graduate from college, so her thinking was relatively mature at that time. Based on the few words she revealed, her boyfriend should still be very good, and the situation we are worried about should not happen."

"I hope so!"

"It's almost time. The water should be boiling, right? We can put the shrimp and crabs in and steam them!"

"Well, the water is boiling. You go set the table and I'll do this."

…

at the same time.

At the gate of the community, Huang Lingwei took two large bags of gifts and said with a smile: "Hubby, you've worked hard driving!"

Jiang Feng picked up the other two large bags of gifts, shook his head and smiled, "It's not hard. When I think about passing your parents' test, we can be together forever, my heart is full of motivation."

"You're the only one who can talk. Let's go! You came at the right time today. You're in for a treat!"

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up, "What delicious food did my mother-in-law prepare to treat me?"

Huang Lingwei said as she walked, "My dad brought back some top-quality butter crabs. There aren't many of them, so it's not easy to eat them all at once."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I am really lucky. I have heard of butter crab for a long time, but I have never eaten it. Today, thanks to you, I have to give up my first time."

"The taste of premium butter crab is really amazing, even better than king crab!"

"You're making me drool..."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon returned to the Huang family.

Although Huang Lingwei had the key, she still rang the doorbell, and then waited quietly with Jiang Feng for her parents to open the door.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the door finally opened.

To show their respect, Huang's father and mother stood at the door together to welcome Jiang Feng.

The moment he saw Huang's father, Jiang Feng was instantly possessed by the actor, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Brother Huang?"

Father Huang was also stunned, "Brother Jiang, why is it you?"

The reactions of the two made Huang's mother and Huang Lingwei look at each other in confusion. Do they know each other?

Huang Lingwei asked first: "Brother Feng, do you know my dad?"

Huang's mother followed closely and asked, "Old Huang, do you know this young man?"

Jiang Feng said with a look of surprise: "I know him, of course I know him, I didn't expect your father to be Mr. Huang... uh... Uncle Huang, this is really fate!"

Father Huang also thought that the world was too wonderful, and said to his wife: "It is indeed fate. Mr. Jiang... uh... Xiao Jiang is the young man I mentioned to you before who got along really well with me."

Huang's mother understood what she said. Two or three months ago, her husband came home and told her excitedly that while having morning tea in a restaurant, he met a young man with whom he got along very well. The two chatted from morning until afternoon, for several hours, before parting with a feeling of reluctance to talk.

I never expected that the young man who got along so well with my husband would actually be my daughter's boyfriend. This fate is really amazing!

"Xiao Jiang, don't stand here at the door, come in quickly."

While greeting Jiang Feng, Father Huang said with a sense of relief: "Xiao Jiang, to be honest, before I met you, I was worried about what kind of boyfriend Weiwei had found! Now that I see it's you, the stone that was pressing on my heart can finally fall to the ground!"

These words were the greatest recognition for Jiang Feng, the future son-in-law. Jiang Feng almost laughed out loud, and felt extremely fortunate that he had made arrangements in advance to get to know this future father-in-law.

As an experienced matchmaker, Jiang Feng naturally knew that fathers-in-law all over the world had one thing in common, which was that they didn't like their daughter's boyfriend at the beginning. The "hostility" between the father-in-law and the son-in-law was just like the "hostility" between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and it was not so easy to eliminate.

The advantage of Jiang Feng getting to know his future father-in-law in advance is that when the two of them are dating, there is no prospective father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, so there will naturally be no "hostility", and it will be easier to maintain a good relationship.

And the facts proved to be true, because during their previous encounter, Huang's father regarded Jiang Feng as a close friend regardless of age difference, and his impression of him was extremely high. Now that they met, he found out that his daughter's boyfriend was his close friend regardless of age difference, he was so happy that he didn't even have time to feel "hostility" towards him!

Anyway, my daughter will get married sooner or later. Isn't it better to marry someone she can talk to than someone she doesn't like?

Jiang Feng handed the gift to Huang's mother, changed his shoes after entering the house, and was then pulled into the living room by his future father-in-law to chat.

Huang's mother and Huang Lingwei were both surprised when they saw this.

…

Five minutes later.

It was the first time in Jiang Feng’s life that he ate butter crab.

When the crab shell was opened, a layer of yellow crab paste appeared on it, and a special aroma of crab oil came to his face. Jiang Feng couldn't help but praise: "This aroma is really appetizing!"

Father Huang greeted enthusiastically, "The steamed butter crab is original and delicious. It is a rare delicacy. Xiao Jiang, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"

Jiang Feng nodded, then scooped a mouthful of butter with chopsticks and tasted it carefully, praising it again: "The oil is sweet, fragrant, tender and smooth, and the taste is unique. It is worthy of being the best crab. The taste is really amazing!"

Huang Lingwei also said with a look of enjoyment: "This taste is really something you will never tire of. It would be great if butter crabs could be bought anytime like ordinary crabs!"

Huang's mother laughed and said, "Your idea is too fantastic. Butter crab is a truly high-end food. There is no way to intervene manually. The yield depends entirely on God. It's good enough to eat it once in a while. Do you want to eat it every day?"

Father Huang continued, "Everything has a limit. The butter crab tastes so delicious because it is so rare to eat it. If you could eat it every day, you would probably throw it away in a few days."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Uncle Huang is right. Enjoying delicious food is very particular. The same dish tastes completely different if you eat it at different times, places, and in different moods.

For example, during the difficult period of the last century, people could have a meal of home-cooked tofu during the New Year and other festivals. The taste was so delicious that it made people swallow their tongues.

But now, it's just a home-cooked tofu meal, who would care about it?"

Huang's mother agreed and said, "Xiao Jiang is right. I often heard my mother say that in their time, being able to eat a meal of bean sprouts and a meal of home-cooked tofu was a rare enjoyment.

Later, when my financial situation improved, I could eat bean sprouts and tofu as much as I wanted, but they no longer tasted the same as they did back then.”

Huang Lingwei was speechless and said, "I just said it casually. For us southerners, apart from rice and water, I'm afraid there is no other food that we can eat without getting tired of."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed.

Next, the four of them shared the butter crabs while they were still hot.

Although the three members of the Huang family did not eat it often, because the Shenzhen waters were one of the origins of butter crabs, they could eat it several times every year. In fact, they had eaten quite a lot over the years, so most of the butter crabs were given to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was not polite either. After some pushing, he accepted the whole order and ate it till his mouth was drooling.

Of course, he relies on his mouth to make a living. Apart from eating butter crabs, his mouth was never idle. He started his "king of mouth" mode, chatting with Huang's father and mother with both hands.

He knew Huang's father and mother's preferences very well, and he catered to their interests during the chat, so naturally they got along better and better.

Huang Lingwei was stunned watching from the side, she had known for a long time that her boyfriend was good at talking, but she didn't know it was so good. Look how he made her parents laugh so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

The meal lasted until seven in the evening.

When they got down from the dining table and moved to the living room to drink tea, Huang's mother said with emotion: "Xiao Jiang, you are really good at chatting. No wonder Old Huang could chat with you for several hours."

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "That's because I'm having so much fun chatting with you, uncle and aunt. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be able to chat like that."
