Because the ingredients were small crabs, their shells were relatively tender. After soaking in alcohol, the shells took on a faint purple hue. The only pity is that the color of the soup is not transparent but yellow, and it would surely look better if the soup was transparent white.
"Sister, is it tasty?" While Yang Chuxia was still examining the contents of the pottery jars, Yang Xiayun couldn’t help but come over and ask.
Yang Chuxia smirked at her, "I haven’t tried it yet, and you’re already asking if it’s delicious. Are you craving it?"
"Hehe, sister, can I have some?" Yang Xiayun stared at the jar with round eyes and carefully asked.
Yang Chuxia smiled, fetched a few pairs of chopsticks and a plate, and then picked several crabs out of the pottery jar.
"Here, you can try it first and see if it’s delicious."
"Mhm, I want to try." Yang Xiayun nodded eagerly, forgoing chopsticks and directly pinching a crab in her hand. Without lifting the lid, she cracked the crab with a crunch, and the soup inside flowed out.
Seeing this, Yang Chuxia also picked up one, peeled back the shell, and sniffed it first. There was no strange smell. Although the crabs were small, they still had meat. The taste was quite tender and fresh. Yang Chuxia nodded, satisfied with the flavor and lack of strange odor, which meant they could be safely stored underground.
She estimated the time left and buried the remaining jars again, but left the open one outside.
"Mother, you should try some too!" Ms. Wang had been watching from the side, while Yang Xiayun had already eaten several crabs, she hadn’t touched one.
Ms. Wang smiled and nodded, "Call your brothers to come in and eat together."
"Alright, I’ll call them now." Yang Chuxia opened the door, and the two boys outside were already impatiently waiting.
"Sister, is the stuff edible now?"
As soon as Yang Qingrui went out, he thought of this matter.
"It’s ready to eat, come in both of you quickly. Otherwise, Yunyun will eat it all." Yang Chuxia waved excitedly at her two brothers.
Upon hearing that Xia Yun was almost finished, Yang Qingtong lamented, "Yunyun, you glutton."
When they entered the room, Yang Qingrui and his brother saw Yang Xiayun, with a crab in both hands and her round eyes staring at her brothers. She didn’t even blink, her cheeks constantly bulging.
Pfft... The little sister was really cute. She already had a lovely face, and she had been eating well these days, so her chubby face had filled out again. Her round eyes and small mouth, as she held two crabs in her plump hands, looked unbelievably adorable.
"Yunyun, don’t eat too much. There’s alcohol in it, so be careful not to get dizzy. Also, this is a cold dish, so don’t get diarrhea at night."
Yang Xia Yun finally swallowed the crab in her mouth and then proudly held up her hands, "I’ll only eat these two and stop."
Seeing the little girl eating so sweetly, the two brothers began to dig in as well.
"How do you guys feel?"
Only after everyone had tasted it did Yang Chuxia ask.
"Delicious!" Yang Qingtong was the first to reply.
Yang Qingrui, on the other hand, pondered, "This would be even better with bigger crabs."
"How about you, Mother?"
"The flavor is excellent. I’ve never heard of this way of eating crabs in our area."
