At that moment, Pei Ji'an was peeling crabs for Qu Fulan.
A man of elegant refinement performing such a task was a pleasing sight. He first cleansed his hands, then used scissors to cut off the eight legs of the hairy crab, removed the crab cover, and revealed the crab. Using a small spoon, he scooped out the gastric area in the center and gently extracted the crab roe encased on the outside, placing it into a bowl. Then, he trimmed away excess crab legs, mouth, and lungs with scissors. He lifted a hexagonal piece from the center of the crab body with the spoon handle and discarded it. He drizzled a bit of vinegar onto the crab body with a small spoon before placing the crab roe and crab butter before her.
While he was doing this, everyone watched, their eyes filled with indescribable envy.
Because it wasn't the first time he did such caring things, Qu Fulan wasn't too surprised, but he had only done it in private before, serving her in front of everyone was a first.
