Yang Chuxia glanced at Ms. Luo and didn't say much, then went straight back to the third branch of the family. After the shrimp paste in the jar had cooled down, she poured some oil on it, sealed it, and put it together with the drunken crab. She thought that she might have another source of income next time she talked with Shopkeeper Li, and then she could start looking for a place to build a house.
By the time she had finished making the shrimp paste, it was getting dark, and Ms. Wang had already begun preparing dinner. Since Yang Chuxia had used the fresh shrimp for the shrimp paste, Ms. Wang fried some dried shrimp with leeks instead. The fresh scallops they had prepared during the day were also used, and after washing them, they were steamed in a large bowl. In the afternoon, Old Aunt-in-law Gen sent over two vegetable melons and some green peas, which were also stir-fried. Lastly, they made a lot of egg soup to serve as porridge for the night.
