Bai Yi Yang send Boss Sun after they finished the 4.0 kg of Matsutake mushrooms transaction. Bai Yi Yang is used to giving Boss Sun something so this time it's some fruits from the orchard. Boss Sun also leave not long after that.
"Ge, let's have simple breakfast today, then we can head straight to town." Bai Yi Yang said to Bai Yi Chen.
"Okay? I will go steam some dim sums, then let's have some instant noodle." Bai Yi Chen said. It is already 9.50 am now. Bai Yi Yang is a bit busy since morning, she went to pick some mushrooms and just returned before 9.30 am just now.
Bai Yi Yang mention about her plans to go for cooking ingredients shopping with Bai Yi Chen today since tomorrow morning will rain heavily, it would be inconvenient for Bai Yi Chen to go tomorrow morning. So today they will go shopping together in town. The wet market is also open on Saturday so there is no problem getting fresh ingredients.
"En. Then I will go take a quick shower and change clothes first." Bai Yi Yang said and rush to the Main house where she met with Bai Yi Fang who stay at home to watch TV. Bai Yi Mo is nowhere to be found, most probably he have gone to the village to play with his friends again.
"Fang Fang, wanna go to town with jiejie and gege?" Bai Yi Yang ask the small girl.
"Can I?!" Bai Yi Fang eyes widened. She didn't expect that they will go anywhere today, but she still love it. She is still small, she is not a popular choice to bring out to shop.
"En. Go pick some clothes. We will go buy some meat and go to the wet market." Bai Yi Yang said.
"Okay!" Bai Yi Fang jump from her seat, turn off the TV and run to her room. Bai Yi Yang laugh and went to take shower.
When she come out, Bai Yi Fang is in her room trying to wear her sweatshirt pair. She is still awkward but she has successfully wear a simple t-shirt and the jacket, now, she is trying hard to wear her long pants.
"Need help?" Bai Yi Yang ask.
"No. I can do this." Bai Yi Fang said confidently. Bai Yi Yang nod and chat with her as they change clothes. Bai Yi Yang also wear a casual and comfortable clothes, she match the colour with Bai Yi Fang's sweatshirt.
"How about xiao gege and er jiejie at school?" Bai Yi Fang ask.
"I have texted your er jiejie, as for Xiao Mo, he must be too busy playing now. He will know when he returned home." Bai Yi Yang said.
A few minutes later the two sisters went to the kitchen to eat breakfast, Bai Yi Fang finished the fastest and urge the twins to eat faster so that they can go soon. They rush to the village bus stop and arrived by 10.20 am. They waited for a while before an empty van came, they immediately ride the van and head to town.
When they arrived, they went to the butcher shop as usual, since Bai Yi Yang is also here this time, other than the items listed in advanced, she also choose a lot of other good meat that she found. The butcher had a hard time fitting everything in one styrofoam box.
Next, they head to the wet market, take a walk around the snacks stall area and to satisfy Bai Yi Fang's request for a lot of snacks. Bai Yi Yang let her choose what she want and buy each in small amounts. They bought a lot of variation but this is the amount that the siblings can finish.
Bai Yi Fang come out of the snacks section with her older siblings feeling satisfied, she also use her cuteness to get a extra food from the aunts. Now, she is holding an ice cream cone in one hand while the other is held by Bai Yi Yang.
The three siblings then head to the seafood section, Bai Yi Chen seems to be well known there, they greet him enthusiastically and show him their seafood.
"Its good that you came today, we got this big mud crab today, you must buy it oh." An uncle said to Bai Yi Chen and point at a bunch of huge mud crabs that is still alive.
Bai Yi Yang look at the crabs together with Bai Yi Fang while Bai Yi Chen chat with the uncle. Bai Yi Fang looks excited seeing the big crabs and ask Bai Yi Yang if they tasted good.
"En, they tasted very good, jiejie will make chilli crab and black pepper crab with it. Later Fang Fang can have a taste." Bai Yi Yang said smiling.
"Then, let's buy a lot." Bai Yi Fang said.
"Okay ah." Bai Yi Yang easily agree.
"Uncle, how do you sell this?" Bai Yi Chen ask the uncle.
"100 yuan per 1 kg. You can choose on your own, our crab is still alive." The seller said. He knows Bai Yi Chen, even with this high price, he will still buy it.
Bai Yi Yang start choosing the big and fat one, when all 6 crabs is weighed, it is almost 6 kg, the total for the mud crabs alone is 578 yuan. Bai Yi Yang also bought 2 kg of squid and 3 kg of prawn from the same person.
Next, they went to choose some fresh fish, some big one so that Bai Yi Yang can fillet it and some smaller one that can be eaten as a whole. After finished choosing a few kilos of fish, Bai Yi Yang also bought some big scallops and cockles. That wrap up their seafood shopping.
Bai Yi Yang ask for a big and multiple layers plastic from the seller so when she tied them up together, she can lift everything with one hand. The other hand is holding Bai Yi Fang's hand.
"It's not heavy?" Bai Yi Chen ask. He knows that Bai Yi Yang is strong but he is still concerned when seeing the big plastic of seafood, including the box of mud crabs.
"Nope. Ge, you know how strong I am." Bai Yi Yang laugh. Bai Yi Chen nod in response, nobody can match Bai Yi Yang's strength, she is the strongest person he have ever seen, it's amazing when seeing her petite build.
The three siblings have a good chat while heading to the bus stop. It's already 12.30 pm, so there are many vans waiting to move. They look around and found a van with a row with 3 empty seats empty.
"We have many stuff, I will pay for 3 adults." Bai Yi Chen said. He learned this from Bai Yi Yang and it worked every time when their small siblings is present. It's really a bit uncomfortable for the children to sit on their lap, it's better to just pay for one more adult.
The three of them chat with the driver uncle, he is also a talkative person. Bai Yi Yang have met many van drivers before, only a small number of them are not talkative, most of them like to chat with their passengers.
When they arrived at the village bus stop, Bai Yi Yang saw Bai Yi Mo and Bai Yi Ling waiting for them. Bai Yi Fang excitedly ran out of the van first and went to her siblings. The twins also pay the van fee before they get off with their stuff.
"Jie, you bought so many stuff." Bai Yi Mo said.
"Yeah, we bought a lot of big big crabs!" Bai Yi Fang said excitedly. She start talking about the mud crabs, she even told them about the menu that Bai Yi Yang will make later.
Bai Yi Chen is experienced with big purchase, she bought rope in his bicycle's basket. He first tied up the stuff to his bicycle before tying it up for Bai Yi Yang. As for Bai Yi Mo, he only carry the snacks from the market in his basket. They all head home after that.
When they arrived home, Bai Yi Yang straight away start cleaning the crabs. She will cook 4 crabs for lunch, one dish is the famous Country S chilli crab and the other is black pepper crab. Both are very delicious.
Country S chilli crabs are served in a huge puddle of tomato sauce that's sweet, spicy, tangy, and the sauce will thickened when egg is added. As for black pepper crabs, of course the main ingredients is black pepper, when the sauce mixture is fried with the crabs it is especially delicious. This two dish is very suitable eaten with white plump rice.
The most important step is to smash the big claws, when she did this, her siblings who is watching automatically said wow. When the fragrance start spreading in the kitchen, the kids cannot wait anymore, they all stand in front of the pressure rice cooker and start talking to it, telling it to cook the rice faster since Bai Yi Yang is already on her second dish. If the rice is cooked, they can eat faster.
"It's useless. You better distract yourself and go watch TV or something." Bai Yi Chen said. He is still cleaning the seafood while Bai Yi Yang is cooking.
"Ge, we can't focus. Better wait here bah." Bai Yi Mo said.
"It's like I never feed you." Bai Yi Yang laugh. The children grinned and decided to make some drinks instead, of course its Bai Yi Ling who do most of the job, the two only know how to request.
At 1.20 pm, the dishes is finally done.

"Yeah!" The kids cheer, TongTong cheer too.
"It's a pity we can't bring Oreo and Cookie. Only if they know how to hide in the bag like TongTong." Bai Yi Fang add. Well, it's a pity instead, but pets are really not allowed in flights, there is nothing that can be done with it.
"Anyway, are we eating crabs again tonight?" Bai Yi Fang ask out of nowhere.
"You wanted to eat crabs again?" Bai Yi Yang ask.
