Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhung from Hamlet 17, Nghi Trung Commune, shared: “The hot weather makes eating less enjoyable, so I often change up the menu for my family with crab soup or clam soup. However, to buy good ingredients, I have to go to the market early. Sometimes I intend to buy crabs to make soup, but if I go to the market a little late, there are none left.” Photo: Thu Hien
