Yi family.
Yi Zhonghai hurried and finally arrived at the crab stall when the crabs were about to be sold out.
All the big crabs had been sold out, leaving only the smaller ones. However, each crab was about four taels in size. Yi Zhonghai bought twenty kilograms and cooked them as soon as he got home.
He doesn't know how to cook crabs any other way, so he can only boil them in water.
However, boiling the crab can retain its maximum freshness and it is still very delicious.
"Mmmmm, Daddy, Mommy, the crabs are delicious."
While eating, Yi Xiaoming sighed, which made Yi Zhonghai and the aunt laugh. The more they looked at their son, the more they liked him.
"If it tastes good, eat more. Come, I'll pick out another piece of crab roe for our Xiao Ming."
After laughing, Yi Zhonghai immediately picked up another crab and started to dig it up.
The aunt looked at the clothes of the loving father and filial son with a smile on her face and said to Yi Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, are the crabs delicious?"
“It’s delicious. It’s so delicious.”
There was a little egg yolk on Yi Xiaoyue's little face while she was eating. Her fair and tender face looked very cute with a little blurry egg yolk on it.
"Well, as long as it tastes good, it's good as long as it tastes good."
The aunt looked at her two children and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, go buy some more crabs tomorrow. Xiaoming and Xiaoyue like to eat them, so they can eat more. There are the most crabs in this season."
"It's hard to eat meat nowadays. Although crab meat is not as good as pork, it's good to be able to eat some."
"Okay, I'll go straight to the market after get off work tomorrow."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and agreed, then added: "It's just that this meat ticket is a bit difficult to get."
"Well, those meat coupons our family has saved should be enough, right?"
"If it's not enough, I'll go to the Pigeon Market and see if I can exchange some."
"You'd better not go. Xiaoming and Xiaoyue can't live without you. I'll go and see them when the time comes." After saying this, Yi Zhonghai looked at his two children with a kind face.
Only by looking at Yi Xiaoyue and Yi Xiaoming did Yi Zhonghai feel that life was worth living and had a purpose.
Except for one family, many families in this compound had a great meal today.
During the period when it is difficult to eat pork, you can use crab meat instead. Your mouth will be filled with the same meaty aroma, and the smell of boiled crabs will fill the whole house!
However, there are also some families that did not buy crabs but could only smell them, and that is the Yan family.
Yan Fugui couldn't bear to buy any crabs as they were so expensive. So, taking advantage of the smell of crabs cooked by other families in the yard, each member of the family had a steamed bun and they were standing in the yard eating.
"Dad, why didn't our family buy some crabs?"
Yu Li looked at Yan Fugui and asked with a little dissatisfaction.
She and Yan Jiecheng hand over ten yuan of their salary every month. Why can other families eat crabs while their family can only eat steamed buns?
"Xiao Li, crabs are too expensive. You need meat coupons, but we don't have any."
Of course, this was just a perfunctory response to Yu Li. Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng both had jobs now, so each of them had one or two taels of meat tickets every two weeks, which meant two taels of meat tickets per person every month. The total of four taels of meat tickets was enough to buy two kilograms of large crabs.
But, is the Yan family a family that can eat meat?
Yan Fugui exchanged his meat coupons for money early on. If he wanted to eat meat, wouldn't he be able to improve his diet and eat meat when he caught some fish that couldn't be sold?
It’s just that Yan Fugui has been unlucky recently and hasn’t been able to catch any fish, so there hasn’t been any smell of fish in his house for several days.
"Then what if you settle it with monthly meat coupons? The meat coupons for the first half of the month would give you two taels of meat, which is enough to buy a pound of crabs."
Yu Li muttered again.
"There are only two crabs in a pound. What can we do with them? Each of us can't even get one. Let's wait until the meat coupons for the second half of the month are distributed. Then we can go buy crabs. At least each of us can have one."
At this moment, Yan Fugui felt that if he didn't buy some crabs, he would not be able to get through this situation.
However, he did not intend to buy such expensive crabs like Jia Dongsheng.
Since he now had a bicycle at home, he planned to ride it to the countryside to see if he could get some river crabs. Although river crabs were still crabs, they were much cheaper.
The most important thing is that you don’t need a ticket to buy river crabs!
Yu Li didn't know what Yan Fugui was planning, but she was clear about one thing: the separation of the family was inevitable.
The eunuch she found was too calculating, she was no match for him!
Therefore, the best way is to separate and live separately so that he cannot plot against you.
But Yu Li is still too young. Can she avoid Yan Fugui's plan by simply dividing the family property?
At this time, Yu Li, who had just eaten half a steamed bun, suddenly saw Jia Dongsheng riding a tricycle with a basin on it. As he walked towards her, a spicy smell wafted out.
"Dongsheng, what are you doing?"
Yan Fugui also saw Jia Dongsheng and immediately smiled and greeted him, "Why are you carrying so many cooked crabs? Are you planning to sell them?"
"Hey, Uncle Three, why are you and your family eating out?"
Jia Dongsheng also responded, and then explained: "Why sell so few crabs? Aren't these freshly made spicy crabs? My mother said there are delicious ones, so don't think about yourself all the time, and asked me to send some to her two goddaughters."
"That makes sense. I'll send some to them right after we finish eating."
"I see."
Yan Fugui nodded: "Then go quickly, these crabs are best when they are freshly cooked."
He didn't answer why they were eating outside. It was really hard to answer. Was he going to say that they were eating steamed buns outside to get the flavor?
