Chapter 360: Chapter 360 – Where is my crab?

Xiang Kun rang the doorbell of Tang Baona’s house for a long time before it was opened by Yang Zhuo.

Seeing Xiang Kun, Yang Zhuo immediately gave him a thumbs up and blurted out, “Brother Xiang, Awesome!”

As soon as he saw the Bluetooth headset in Yang Zhuo’s ear and heard the sound from the headset, Xiang Kun knew that he was playing the sound story game he had developed and what the “Awesome!” he mentioned was referring to.

Walking into the living room, he found Yang Zhuo, Yang Zhuo’s girlfriend Xiao Min, Yang Zhuo’s sister Yang Jie, Zhang Qian, and Chang Bin. Wang Han, Tang Baoting, and Gao Yao, who had just finished work, were also on their way.

As for Tang Baona, the owner of the house, and the house regular, Yang Zhen Er, they were busy in the kitchen. Various sounds kept coming from there. The others in the living room were engrossed in their games with their headphones on, hardly noticing the doorbell that Xiang Kun had been ringing for a long time, nor the sounds from the kitchen.

However, Xiang Kun had already heard the commotion in the kitchen when he was waiting outside the door, and he couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“Is this salt or sugar?” This was Yang Zhen Er’s voice.

“Oh, my sister! It’s MSG!” The voice of Tang Baona sounded quite helpless.

“Nana, how do I kill this fish?” Yang Zhen Er’s voice sounded timid.

“Didn’t we prepare the video earlier? Just follow that.” Tang Baona’s voice sounded exhausted.

“I watched it, but it only talked about how to handle the fish meat, not how to kill the fish.”

“Then search again, enter ‘how to kill a fish’.”

“Nana, this doesn’t taste right, did it get burnt?”

“How could it be burnt, I was following the video… Huh? It really got burnt… Quick, quick, turn off the heat, quick!”

“Nana, are you sure this is MSG?”

“Mhmm, how could I mistake… uh, okay, this actually is salt. Hey, why would the grains of salt look like this? It shouldn’t be?”

“Nana, since it’s certainly salt, why did you add it again? Didn’t you just add it earlier?”

“Did I add it? Oh my, I’m confused….”

“Are we running out of time? We still have a lot of dishes to prepare. Ah, I knew we should have bought ready-to-cook ingredients. It’s all Brother Xiang’s fault. Every time we go grocery shopping with him, he always buys fresh produce. I’m so used to that.”

“Stop talking and get to work. Oh, what about the crabs? Don’t let the crabs suffocate. I remember dead crabs don’t taste as good.”

“Let me check. Huh? The number of crabs… it’s not right! It seems like one has escaped. Where did it go? Oh my gosh, Nana, I told you crabs are hard to deal with, we shouldn’t buy crabs anymore…”

“You said you would handle the seafood. Maybe we should switch, and you can handle the vegetables and meat?”

“It looked so simple and relaxed when Brother Xiang cooked. How come when we do it, it’s such chaos? There are fewer dishes to cook today than at Christmas.”

“That’s why you call him ‘chef’, isn’t it? Ah, never mind, let’s just order food. Otherwise, we might not finish cooking dinner till nine.”

“Even if we do finish…it might not be edible…”

“Wasn’t it you who insisted on cooking ourselves?”

“I know, my mistake, my mistake! But what are we going to do with all these ingredients?” Yang Zhen Er’s voice sounded distressed.

“Let’s store the untouched ones in the fridge. We need to research more on cooking methods and try again next time. This time was too rushed. Or… next time let Brother Xiang do the cooking.” Tang Baona’s voice was filled with resignation.

“What about the ones that are half-prepped?”

“Let Brother Xiang cook it for supper.”

“What about this fish… It can’t be kept in the fridge, can it? It’s still alive. Should we continue rearing it in the basin? Oh, should we buy some fish food for it? If it starves to death, it won’t be fresh anymore…” Yang Zhen Er spoke in confusion. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said, “Wait up, the crab, we haven’t found the crab yet! Nana, stop cooking for now, let’s find the crab first…”

Xiang Kun couldn’t take it anymore, he couldn’t bear to listen any longer. If he did, he might die from laughter. Since everyone in the living room was busy playing games with their headphones on and nobody paid any attention to him, he decided to check out the kitchen.

As soon as he pushed open the kitchen door, he saw Tang Baona and Yang Zhen Er busily working away in a messy kitchen. Startled by Xiang Kun’s sudden appearance, they looked at him with the expression of someone seeing their savior.

“Brother Xiang, you came just in time! Quick, quick, quick, help us find the crab! We don’t know where it ran off to!” Yang Zhen Er, who was squatting on the floor, anxiously pleaded.

Naturally, Xiang Kun knew where the crab was. Whether by smell or sound, he could immediately pinpoint the location of the fugitive crab.

Xiang Kun moved the refrigerator away and caught the crab that had escaped to the corner. After cleaning it up, he placed all the crabs neatly together.
