Xu Dong pointed to a black box and said: "Except for it, everything else is thirty king crabs in total. I also bought you two bags and will bring them to you later."
"Why buy a bag? I don't have any shortage of bags."
"I bought something that cost several thousand yuan because it was cheap. This is a foreign brand-name bag. It used to cost tens of thousands each," Xu Dong explained.
"It's still cheap for several thousand yuan? Take it out and show it to me." When she heard that it was a brand-name bag, Yang Lina quickly urged.
Xu Dong picked up the bag from the passenger seat and handed it to his wife.
It was indeed a brand-name bag, and the design of the bag was really beautiful. The more Yang Lina looked at it, the more she liked it. She didn't even care about the king crab, and immediately sent the two bags back to the bedroom.
When she appeared again, the children followed her.
"Dad, Mom said you bought big crabs, is that true?"
Lele's little face was full of excitement. Although she had eaten big lobsters, she had never eaten big crabs. She didn't know what they tasted like, so she was looking forward to it.
"When did daddy lie to you?"
"Dad, I want to see what a big crab looks like." Dabao shouted.
"I want to see it too." Others followed suit.
Xu Dong quickly asked the children to calm down: "Stop making noises, daddy will show you now."
After that, I picked a foam box at random.
"Dad, open it quickly!" Erbao urged.
Xu Dong smiled and looked at his eldest son: "Dabao, you are the eldest brother, do you dare to open the box with your own hands?"
The little guy is a little scared.
"Dad, can big crabs bite people?"
"No bite." Xu Dong shook his head and then explained: "The box contains dead crabs. How can dead crabs bite?"
Dabao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, then stretched out his chubby hand and pressed it on the lid of the box:
"Is there ice on the box?"
"The crabs would have stunk if they weren't iced."
Lele couldn't wait any longer and reached out to push Dabao: "Hurry up, aren't you a little man? What are you afraid of?"
"I...I'm not afraid." Dabao quickly found a legitimate reason for himself: "There is tape on the box and I can't get it off!"
"Okay, daddy, help you tear off the tape."
Amid the urging from his sister and brothers, Dabao closed his eyes and bravely opened the lid.
"Wow, it's really big."
"Dad, is this a red crab?" Coco asked curiously.
This was the first time she saw a red crab, and it grew 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 has been cooked."
Raw king crabs will produce ammonia during the freezing process and will smell like urine over time. Therefore, after catching the king crabs, they need to be steamed first and then frozen.
He was introduced to this knowledge by customs staff, and he almost made a joke about it.
"Shrimps are also red when cooked."
Xiaobao immediately gave an example from around him.
"Our little baby is so smart." Yang Lina patted her youngest son's head and praised him.
"Hey, since it's cooked, can it be eaten now?" Lele couldn't wait.
Xu Dong shook his head: "How can you eat cold food? It must be heated. Eating cold food will cause diarrhea."
"Mom, would you like to eat big crabs tonight?" Lele said coquettishly, holding her mother's arm.
"Okay, I'll steam two for you to try tonight."
"Long live mom!"
Xu Dong smiled and advised: "Steam a few more and let's taste it. Two of them are probably not enough to fill the gaps between teeth."
"You really eat it as a meal. If you eat it this way, you won't be able to eat this crab for more than a few meals." Yang Lina said angrily.
"It's okay. I'll do it after I finish eating. Now is the time when king crabs are on the market. There will be an auction next month, so you don't have to worry about not being able to buy them."
Speaking of "buying", Yang Lina patted her head: "I forgot to ask you, how much did it cost in total for so many king crabs?"
"Less than three million!" Xu Dong answered truthfully.
"What? Three million?" Yang Lina almost bit her tongue, "Why is it so expensive? I thought it was only one million at most. Don't waste money next time. Our family doesn't have no meat to eat."
"You don't have to worry about money. If your husband just goes out for a walk, he will earn tens of millions. You mothers, just 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 Xu's mother was still waiting to deliver food!
In addition, king crabs were also steamed, four of them were steamed.
It took Xu Dong more than half an hour to put all the king crabs in the freezer. Fortunately, he bought a few more freezers last time, otherwise it would be really hard to put them in, mainly because the crab legs took up too much space.
After handling the king crab, he recharged the battery of the robot dog and prepared to give the children a big surprise tomorrow.
When the sun went down, dinner was finally ready. Including steamed king crab, there were four dishes in total, two meat and two vegetarian, and the combination was very reasonable.
In order to make it easier for his mother, Xu Dong directly opened half a crab and peeled a bowl full of crab meat.
It also comes with a small plate of dipping sauce.
When it was almost seven o'clock, Xu Dong brought his lunch box and the three Dabao brothers to his mother's ward, where Xu's mother was being examined by a doctor.
After the inspection, he immediately stepped forward and asked:
"Dr. Jiang, how is my mother's condition?"
Dr. Jiang smiled and nodded: "The patient is recovering very well and can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
"Really? That's great, thank you Dr. Jiang." Xu Dong quickly expressed his gratitude.
"The main thing is that if you guys eat well and have adequate nutrition, the patient will naturally recover quickly."
Dr. Jiang waved his hand. It had been a long time since he had seen such a fast recovery as Xu Ma. He had heard some exaggerated rumors before, but now it seemed that the rumors were true.
"Grandma, the doctor uncle said you can be discharged from the hospital." Dabao climbed onto the hospital bed in two steps.
Xu's mother pinched her eldest grandson's tender face and said, "It's better now. He can finally be discharged from the hospital."
After seeing Dr. Jiang off, Xu Dong opened the lunch box.
"Grandma, dad bought big crabs, they are delicious." Erbao immediately showed off.
"Lao San, have you bought something again?"
Xu Dong laid out the food and explained: "As I said last time, there is an auction at the customs. I was lucky this time. There were king crabs. I bought thirty of them."
"King crab? What does it look like?" Xu's mother asked curiously.
Xu Dong took out his mobile phone and opened the photo.
Looking at the photo of king crab, Xu’s mother sighed:
"Such a big crab must not be cheap, right?"
"Why are you worried about this? As long as dad and I are here, our family will definitely be able to afford it." Xu Dong advised in a low voice.
Dabao didn't care about this, just took a spoonful of crab meat with a spoon and carefully brought it to Xu Ma's mouth.
"Grandma, eat the crab meat quickly. Dad and I peeled it together. It's really delicious!"
