Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhung in Hamlet 17, Nghi Trung Commune shared: "The weather is hot so food is not delicious, I often change the menu for my family with crab soup, clam soup. However, to buy delicious food, you have to go to the market early, one day I planned to buy crab to cook soup but if I go to the market a little late, there is no more left." Photo: Thu Hien
