My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 341 Steamed King Crab

"Are these all?"

Yang Lina was taken aback.

Xu Dong pointed to a black box and said: "Except for it, everything else is. There are thirty king crabs in total. I also bought two bags for you, and I will bring them to you later."

"Why buy a bag? I don't lack bags."

"Thousands of dollars, I bought it when I saw it was cheap. This is a foreign brand-name bag. It used to cost tens of thousands of dollars." Xu Dong explained.

"Thousands of dollars are still cheap, right? Take it out and show me." Yang Lina hurriedly urged when she heard that it was a brand-name bag.

Xu Dong picked up the bag from the passenger seat and handed it to his wife.

As expected, it is a brand-name bag. The design of the bag is indeed very beautiful. Yang Lina likes it more and more. She can't even care about the king crab, so she immediately sent the two bags back to the bedroom.

When she appeared again, the children followed.

"Dad, Mom said you bought big crabs, is it true?"

Little Lele's face was full of excitement. Although she had eaten big lobsters, she hadn't eaten big crabs yet, and she didn't know what it tasted like, so she was looking forward to it.

"When did Dad lie to you?"

"Father, I want to see what the big crab looks like." Dabao shouted loudly.

"I want to see it too." The others followed suit.

Xu Dong quickly calmed down the children: "Stop making noise, Dad will show you right now."

After speaking, he randomly picked a foam box.

"Father, open it!" Er Bao urged.

Xu Dong looked at the eldest son with a smile: "Dabao, you are the eldest brother, do you dare to open the box with your own hands?"

The little guy was a little scared.

"Dad, can a big crab bite?"

"Don't bite." Xu Dong shook his head, and then explained: "There are dead crabs in the box, how can dead crabs bite people!"

Dabao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then stretched out his chubby hand to press the lid of the box:
"Is there ice on the box?"

"The crabs stink long ago without ice."

Lele couldn't wait any longer, so she stretched out her hand and pushed Dabao: "Hurry up, aren't you a little man, what are you afraid of?"

"I... I'm not afraid." Dabao quickly found a justification for himself: "There is tape on the box, I can't get it off!"

"Okay, Dad will help you tear off the tape."

Amidst the urging voices of his sister and younger brothers, Dabao closed his eyes and lifted the lid bravely.

"Wow, it's really big."

"Dad, is this a red crab?" Ke Ke asked curiously.

It was the first time she had seen a red crab, and it was so big.

Xu Dong cleared his throat: "This is a king crab, not a red crab. The reason why it is red is because it was cooked."

Raw king crabs will produce ammonia gas during the freezing process, and there will be a smell of urine after a long time. Therefore, after the king crabs are caught, they need to be steamed before they can be frozen.

He also heard this knowledge from the customs staff, so he almost made a joke about it.

"Shrimps are red even when cooked."

Xiaobao immediately gave an example around him.

"Our little treasure is really smart." Yang Lina praised her little son by touching his head.

"Hey, since it's cooked, can I eat it now?" Lele couldn't wait.

Xu Dong shook his head: "How can you eat cold food, you have to heat it up, and you will have diarrhea if you eat cold food."

"Mom, how about eating big crabs at night?" Lele said coquettishly, pulling her mother's arm.

"Okay, I'll steam two of them for you to try in the evening."

"Long live mom!"

Xu Dong persuaded with a smile: "Steam a few more, let's taste the taste, two are probably not enough to fit between the teeth."

"You really eat it like a meal. If you eat it like this, you won't be able to eat this crab for a few meals." Yang Lina said angrily.

"It's okay. I'll make it after I finish eating. Now is the time when king crabs are on the market. There will be an auction next month. Don't worry about not being able to buy them."

Speaking of "buying", Yang Lina patted her head: "I forgot to ask you, how much did you spend for so many king crabs?"

"Less than 3 million!" Xu Dong answered truthfully.

"What? 3 million?" Yang Lina almost bit her tongue, "Why is it so expensive? I thought it was only a million at most. Next time, don't waste money. It's not like our family has no meat to eat."

"You don't have to worry about the money. Your husband will get tens of millions of dollars if he goes around casually. You mothers can eat boldly!" Xu Dong comforted with a smile.

"Just do it!" Yang Lina sighed.

……

After a while, the kitchen became busy again. It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and Mama Xu was still waiting to deliver the food!
In addition, the king crab was also steamed, and four were steamed.

It took more than half an hour for Xu Dong to put all the king crabs into the freezer. Fortunately, he bought a few more freezers last time, otherwise he really couldn't put them down, mainly because the crab legs took up too much space.

After handling the king crab, he charged the battery of the robot dog again, preparing to give the children a big surprise tomorrow.

When the sun went down, the dinner was finally ready, plus the steamed king crab, there were four dishes in total, two meat and two vegetables, the combination was very reasonable.

For the convenience of his mother, Xu Dong directly disassembled half a crab and peeled a bowl full of crab meat.

It also came with a small dish of dipping sauce.

When it was almost seven o'clock, Xu Dong came to his mother's ward with a lunch box and the three Dabao brothers. Xu's mother was being examined by the doctor.

After the inspection was over, he immediately stepped forward and asked:
"Doctor Jiang, how is my mother?"

Dr. Jiang nodded with a smile: "The patient is recovering very well and can be discharged tomorrow."

"Really? That's great, thank you, Dr. Jiang." Xu Dong quickly said gratefully.

"The main reason is that you guys eat well and have adequate nutrition, so the patient will naturally recover quickly."

Dr. Jiang waved his hand. He hadn't seen Mama Xu recover as quickly as he did for a long time. He had heard some exaggerated rumors before, but now it seems that the rumors are all true.

"Grandma, the doctor uncle said you can be discharged from the hospital." Dabao climbed onto the hospital bed in three steps.

Xu's mother pinched her eldest grandson's tender face: "It's all right now, I can finally be discharged from the hospital."

After seeing off Dr. Jiang, Xu Dong opened the lunch box.

"Grandma, Dad bought big crabs, they are delicious." Erbao immediately showed off.

"Third, are you shopping again?"

While laying out the food, Xu Dong explained: "Didn't I say it last time, there was an auction at the customs, this time I was lucky, there were king crabs, and I specially bought [-] of them."

"King crab? What does it look like?" Mama Xu asked curiously.

Xu Dong took out his phone and opened the photo.

Xu Ma looked at the picture of the king crab and said with emotion:
"Such a big crab must not be cheap, right?"

"Why worry about this, with my dad and I here, our family will definitely be able to afford it." Xu Dong persuaded in a low voice.

Dabao didn't care about this, he scooped up a spoonful of crab meat with a soup spoon, and carefully brought it to Mama Xu's mouth.

"Grandma, hurry up and eat the crab meat. My dad and I peeled it together. It's really delicious!"
