Mao Fangfei helped prepare lunch. It's autumn now, the perfect time for plump crabs. Shi Junjie has a client who is a crab farmer in Yangcheng Lake, and he sent over a lot of plump hairy crabs. Of course, they aren't genuine Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. The so-called Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs sold in the market are actually farmed.
Genuine Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were already offered as tribute long ago, and the rest were ordered by major hotels, leaving no surplus for the market.
The crabs sold in the market are all from farmers near Yangcheng Lake, and the taste is not much different. The price is not low either. The hairy crabs that this customer sent are all over four ounces, and each one is so fat that it is dripping with oil.
"We're in for a treat today," Fang Yanming said with a smile.
"I'll take a basket back with me later. Junjie's clients gave us quite a lot; we can't possibly eat it all," Gao Shengnan said with a smile.
"Fine, I won't stand on ceremony."
“Uncle, don’t be so polite. It’s only right that I treat you to something. How about some wine? Wuliangye or Moutai?” Shi Junjie asked.
"Of course it's Moutai. When we get to you, we have to drink the most expensive one."
Fang Yanming was very informal. He had eaten at Shi Junjie's house quite often. Although he called him uncle, they got along like brothers and he spoke to him very casually.
Shi Junjie grinned and took out a bottle of Moutai from the liquor cabinet. He had a lot of social engagements and a very high alcohol tolerance, but he rarely drank. Gao Shengnan wouldn't let him drink, fearing it would damage his liver.
"Auntie, have some yellow stuff."
Shi Xiaobao forcefully pried open the crab shell, revealing a belly full of roe. Oil dripped onto his hands. Xiaobao took a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and fed it to Fang Tongtong. He didn't even bother to eat himself, just smiling at her.
Fang Tongtong didn't stand on ceremony and ate it in one bite. She was the most impatient one when it came to peeling crabs, but she loved to eat them.
Shi Xiaobao smiled with his eyes crinkling, his chubby fingers continuing to peel the crab, peeling it very carefully. And the little boy peeled it very well, picking out all the tender white meat and arranging it on a small plate, without eating a single bite himself.
After peeling a crab, Shi Xiaobao placed a small plate piled high with meat in front of Fang Tongtong, saying, "Auntie, eat."
"You eat too."
Fang Tongtong beamed with joy, but she didn't eat alone. She scooped up a spoonful of meat, dipped it in ginger and vinegar, and fed it to Shi Xiaobao. Then she ate a bite herself, and the two children looked very satisfied.
"It's delicious."
Fang Tongtong quickly finished a plate of crab meat. There wasn't much meat on a crab, and it was gone in a few bites, but she wasn't full. The little girl looked at the plate with regret, and Shi Xiaobao comforted her, "Auntie, I'll peel some more."
"No, my hands will hurt." Fang Tongtong shook her head. "Daddy will peel it."
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."
Shi Xiaobao got anxious. He loved peeling crabs for his aunt and couldn't let his great-uncle take his job. The little guy hurriedly grabbed a crab, a female one, which was even bigger than the previous one.
The two little ones peeled and ate the crabs, working together seamlessly and finishing off three crabs. Most of them ended up in Fang Tongtong's stomach. Shi Xiaobao only ate a few bites, his two chubby little hands covered in oil, but he was extremely happy. His aunt was more satisfied than he was eating them himself.
Fang Yanming chuckled and joked, "Xiao Bao has been good at charming girls since he was little. He'll never have trouble finding a wife."
Mao Fangfei also said with a smile, "Xiao Bao is like a hero, he knows how to win a girl's heart."
She gave Gao Shengnan a meaningful look. She had managed to woo the company's highest-earning girl right after graduation. Not everyone has that kind of ability.
Gao Shengnan blushed and blurted out, "Why look for a wife? I think Xiaobao and Tongtong are a good match. They're childhood sweethearts, so why not let Tongtong be my daughter-in-law?"
