With the supply of millet and broomcorn millet, their meals were no longer stretched thin, so that evening, they exceptionally made a thick pot of broomcorn millet porridge and all drank it together.
After slaughtering the octopus, they scalded it in an iron pot, gathered up its legs, and chopped its head into pieces to stew with the large cabbages from the yard.
Four big crabs were scrubbed clean with a brush and tied with straw ropes to be steamed.
By the time they ate, the sky was completely dark. After serving Grandma her meal, the sisters then gathered around the bonfire, devouring the thick millet porridge, the deliciously savory stewed octopus with cabbage, and finally, each gnawing on two plump crabs—ah, this dinner was extraordinarily delightful.
