A small number of Chinese people like to eat crabs caught from the Tigris River, but Iraqis do not eat crabs because they don't know how to eat them. The Iraqi owner of the Hani store usually only buys a small amount of crabs, and if a Chinese company comes in with a large number of people, or if the embassy organizes an event to buy it, the small store will be sold out.

Therefore, if you want to be guaranteed to eat crabs during the festival, you must visit this store every once in a while. However, some Chinese in the United States avoid eating crabs during the Spring Festival, because they have the reputation of being overbearing or not doing the right thing, which shows the differences between the same clan and different cultures.
