Wheat yellow crab, bean yellow turtle.

When the wheat shoots yellow, the crab heads are fat. The male is full of fat, the female is full of seeds, and the toes are full of meat. Put the fresh crab that has just got off the net in a pot, steam it, clear the soup with white brains, cover the red claws with purple, chop off the ginger, and pour vinegar on it. It is called ginger crab, which is really a dish to go with wine.

In this small coastal town, the crab market is well known. In recent years, due to more people coming to rest and recuperate, the value of this "rampant general" has also increased sharply. Last year, it sold for 20 cents a catty, but it rose to 50 cents as soon as the market opened this year and is still rising. No matter how expensive it is, some people buy it. It is said that it is not only tender and delicious, but also rich in nutrition, and it can cure any diseases.

On June 29, every gathering, crabs went on the market early, went off the market quickly, and the sun was red, so they were out of stock. Those who didn't buy crabs, some left disappointed, and some waited eagerly. It is often the case that those who go far out to sea and land late will be listed late. This is from experience, and people who often walk in the crab market will know it.

Among the people waiting to buy crabs, there is an outstanding fat man. If he looks down, he definitely can't see his toes, and the raised part in the middle will block the line of sight. Sparse gray hair, neatly combed back, dipped in water, no one is disordered. A wrinkle can't be seen on the white face, like steamed bread just out of the pot. Because of being fat, the nose and eyes are particularly small; Because it is small, it is particularly wonderful. He doesn't have the impatience shown by others, but he smokes leisurely and walks steadily. Sometimes I look up and "poof-"spit a smoke turn. That look seems to tell others: "hey, wait until noon!" I'm not leaving! "

Some people can't wait and finally leave.

Fat comrades disdain to take a look at the people who left, and a smug smile appeared on his mouth.

A rustic, thin old man was even among the people who bought crabs, which made this small team look very uncoordinated. Dark face, beard, hunched back, gray eyes, like a layer of soil. It looks like an old dry pine tree. You can tell from his clothes that he is from the mountain, but the seaside people don't wear his shoes that kick down the mountain. He was obviously more anxious than anyone else, rushing around, looking at both sides of the gathering place from time to time. The copper cigarette pot held in your hand was lit several times and smoked loudly.

The sun climbed a pole high.

The thin old man couldn't wait, so he went up and asked the fat comrade, "Hey, comrade, excuse me. What time is it? " Fat comrade didn't look at the thin old man and casually said, "It's a quarter away." "Well, well ..." The thin old man nodded. In fact, he didn't know what time it was a quarter to five, but he couldn't ask again. He just smiled faithfully and piled up folds on his face. "Hey, hey, comrade, do you think you can still get the goods?" Fat comrades pay attention to the thin old man. He blinked his eyes and looked at him from top to bottom. An amiable smile immediately appeared on his face: "Old comrades, do you want to buy crabs? Tomorrow, ah, no way today! Go home, ah ... ""Well, well ... "The thin old man thanked him and stepped down. He sighed and couldn't bear to leave. He squatted down and smoked. In fact, there is not even a spark in the ashtray for a long time.

The thin old man refused to leave, which made the fat comrade very unhappy and his face suddenly turned cloudy. He took a drag on his cigarette and started pacing again, much faster than before.

People are whispering:

"Tell people to go, and he stays ..."

"Stay and eat alone."

"The fat is so thick, still eat!"

"Hey, I heard that crabs can cure obesity ..."

This argument was obviously heard by the fat comrade. In protest, he threw half of his cigarette to one side.

"Hey, filter!" Someone laughed.

That's good. Before we know his name, we might as well call him "filter tip"! However, there is no malice. Fat people are afraid of being said to be fat. As for the old man, if you call him a "pipe smoker", it is estimated that he will not protest.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Sure enough, there came a crab seller, a little girl. Carrying two baskets full! The little girl leans to one side, and two baskets are swinging between people.

"Sell crabs!" The little girl shouted as she walked. That cry is crisp and sweet. Listen, you will think that the crabs in her basket must be fresh and beautiful.

People who buy crabs bang around, carrying net bags and carrying small baskets, and no one will let anyone squeeze. To people's great surprise, the filter ran at the front. The cotton-padded body turned out to be very agile and vigorous, and the two great guys were carried aside by his left shoulder and right arm. After he occupied the first place, he turned around and shouted, "Help! All help! "

Where's the bong? First, he stood for a while. When he turned around, put his pipe into his pocket and tried to compete for a seat, the two crab baskets were already packed. He was so anxious that he turned from left to right, and the front turned to back. Not to mention people, he couldn't even squeeze his eyes in.

Countless hands holding money reached out to the little girl, shouting and shouting, which was deafening: "I weigh three pounds!" " "I weigh five pounds!" "I get the front, two dollars! ……

The little girl calmly put down the burden, raised her face with a smile, put a lock of hair on her eyes behind her ear, smiled calmly and said, "No matter how urgent it is, I have to catch my breath!" "

"That's right. Look at this little comrade's tiredness. He's all sweaty!" The filter smiled sweeter than a little girl.

"It's not sweat! Sea fog. " The little girl corrected clear voice angrily, took the scale, wiped off the water plants on the beam, and was ready to open.

"Yes, sea fog, sea fog!" The filter tip echoed. He propped up his knees with one hand, bent down with difficulty, and carefully reached into the basket with the other hand.

"Bite you!" The little girl gave a cry.

The filter was so scared that it quickly retracted its hand.

It seems that the little girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and she has a girl's physique: her fluffy bangs are covered with foggy stars, trembling; Big bright eyes, like dripping dew, are full and will overflow; On the convex round cheeks that are red by the sea breeze, it is also a moist layer. She is like a flower in the morning light. Pant legs hanging off, sleeves rolled, with a simple rural atmosphere.

"ouch!" When the filter called, he finally couldn't help picking the biggest crab. His hand was clamped and he couldn't earn any more. His mouth was crooked with pain.

The little girl laughed happily, like shaking a string of happy copper bells. People who buy crabs are also happy, and they laugh with laughter. The crab "general" seemed to vent his hatred of being captured, turning his long green eyes and clamping harder. The filter did not dare to move, just shouting, "Ouch, Ouch!" "

The little girl held back her laughter, stretched her index finger and middle finger, and played "beep, beep" on the crab cover several times. It's really clever. The crab immediately released the "iron pliers" like an electric shock. The filter holds your finger in front of your eyes, ah! Bite off two rows of serrated blood prints!

The little girl wiped her tears and said, "You deserve it. Who told you to be in a hurry?" Laughing at him again.

The filter pointed at the crab in anger and said, "I want this one!" And this one, this mother and son, this one ... "He picked up the big ones in the basket and pointed out six or seven at a time.

The little girl hesitated, but she weighed him and reported, "Five catties and twenty-two, 2510, 2510, 5525, 5525, two dollars and eighty-six cents. Ok, count two dollars and eight! " She has a sharp balance and is fluent in accounting.

The filter refused to pick up the crab, and his little eyes blinked quickly: "Slow down! How much is a catty of your crab? "

The little girl said, "Fifty-five cents!"

"You little comrade, kill people? Today's episode is 45 cents, and there is no second price! You say, is it? " The filter wheezes, and the insides in my stomach are packed. He straightened up, his hands rested on his hips, turned and blinked at the man behind him.

The United front was formed immediately. The people at the back are also clamoring for being too expensive.

The little girl smiled quietly: "You lie! I know the price on today's collection is fifty cents. "

The filter was stunned for a while, then faltered: "Well, well, even if it is, it's not up to your price!" Hum, kill people? "

"You get what you pay for." The little girl put down the scale, grabbed a crab's paddle-like hind thigh with her hand and twisted it in mid-air. The crab immediately moved like a dance, but she couldn't clamp her hand. "Look, who has such a fresh crab! It was me and dad who went out to sea to fight. I spent a night at sea and didn't eat two meals! Whatever you say, you have to give me money to suffer! Playing crabs is not as easy as eating crabs! " The little girl's voice was a little tired and hoarse.

People were silent.

The filter lit a cigarette and smoked leisurely.

Someone outside the circle said sympathetically, "If you can go up the mountain, don't go to the sea!" It's a dry pipe that can't be squeezed in.

For a long time, the filter spit out a mouthful of smoke and made up his mind to say, "Here's 52 cents. How about that?"

The little girl snorted a smile from her nose.

"Fifty-three cents!"

The little girl didn't look at him and put her arms crossed on her chest.

The filter's face turned red and her voice trembled: "Wujiaosi, won't you?" As he spoke, he threw half a cigarette on the ground and rubbed it out with his feet. Then, he broke a huge net bag and said generously, "Come on, pour it! I don't care about spending that extra eight cents! "

As soon as the little girl pulled the scale, wow, all the weighed crabs fell back into the basket: "The money is yours and the crab is mine!" "

The filter was angry, and the net bag was thrown away, making it look like it was leaving: "I'll buy someone else's." Go, let's go! "

This time, the United front was not formed, and no one moved.

"Sell crabs!" The little girl opened her sweet and crisp voice again.

The crowd is crowded. "Weigh me, there are guests waiting at home!" "Yes, it's not bad!" "Come on, three pounds!" “……”

The little girl's business has opened. A basket will be sold out in a short time. As she weighed it, she glanced at the filter tip from time to time, and a sweet smile hung on her mouth.

The face of the filter turned red and white for a while. Seeing that there were fewer crabs in the basket, it was really a little impatient. He twisted his body, braced his knees with one hand again, bent down again, endured the pain of squeezing his stomach, and risked his hands to grasp the thighs of seven or eight crabs in his hand, neither weighing nor loosening them.

The people who bought crabs gradually dispersed, leaving only a few crabs in the hands of filter tips. Because of bending for a long time, their faces turned purple and sweat dripped down. He gasped out of breath: "hey, little comrade, people choose the remaining ones, so count them less!" ..... "His face smiled into a flower, and his small eyes blinked rhythmically, almost begging, waiting for the little girl's answer. At this time, the long stemmed Chinese pipe leaned forward. The filter immediately became highly nervous. The long stemmed Chinese pipe said, "Daughter, weigh two for me." The filter glared at the long stemmed Chinese pipe and lifted all the crabs: "No, I'm round!" " The little girl said awkwardly, "Uncle, it's sold out." The long stemmed Chinese pipe sighed and said, "Daughter, I'm not afraid of your jokes. My family's mother has ... alas, I'm living in the hospital with that cancer, and I don't want to eat anything for a few days, so I just want to eat a crab. Just ask this comrade to even two! Alas, pity her for suffering all her life and driving her to death ... "The old man's eyes were full of tears.

The little girl pressed her lips tightly and her eyes shone with light.

The filter turned its face away.

The long stemmed Chinese pipe dripped tears: "Just be kind!"

The filter ignored the cigarette bag and only urged the little girl to weigh the crab quickly.

The little girl said, "even two!" I'll give you fifty cents. "

The filter thought for a moment: "No, no, I'll give you fifty-five cents, a lot of money. Weigh it, ah, weigh it!" "

The long stemmed Chinese pipe shook his lips with anger: "Daughter, don't be difficult, I won't buy it." Say that finish, turn around and go.

The filter tip froze: "Hey, hey, this old man ..."

The little girl's chest heaved. Suddenly, she ran a few steps forward and grabbed the cigarette bag: "Uncle, wait." Turning to the filter, he said, "Tell you what, give these crabs to uncle, and you can take them with me. How many you want is 40 cents."

The filter was thoughtful, and his small eyes flashed brighter than ever. He is counting, thinking. He looked up as if he had made up his mind again and said, "Calculate the triangle five, and I will go." The little girl bit her lip: "Bingo!" The filter hesitate to put down the crab in his hand.

The little girl didn't weigh it, so she caught all the crabs in the basket into the net bag of the long-stemmed Chinese pipe bag. The old man was so anxious that he shouted, "I want two, two!" ..... "The little girl said," Uncle, let aunt eat more! "

"But my money ... money ..." The long stemmed Chinese pipe mumbled, reached into his pocket, pulled out a small torn and dirty cloth bag, let go, took out the only five yuan and held it in front of the little girl. My hands are shaking.

The little girl only left one yuan.

The filter opened its eyes in surprise.

The long stemmed Chinese pipe turned red and refused to accept the money: "No, no! How much, how much. I know, can go up the mountain, don't go to sea ... "

The little girl shoved the money into the hand of the long-stemmed Chinese pipe: "Uncle, don't be too suspicious. Even if I show my aunt a little care, go back and tell my dad that he will agree." My mother also got this disease, last year ... "Her eyes were filled with tears.

Holding a cracked hand, the long stemmed Chinese pipe wiped the little girl's tears and said, "Good boy, don't cry, oh, don't cry, I'll stay, but it's still not right?" ……”

The little girl smiled through tears and rubbed her eyes hard and said, "uncle, let's go, aunt is waiting for you!" Go back and cook early, and it will ebb if it is put out. "

The long stemmed Chinese pipe looked straight at the little girl, and her eyes were moist again. He raised a big hand and touched the little girl's head as if caressing his own daughter. He couldn't help crying, so he turned away and walked towards the crowd.

"Uncle!" The little girl stopped him again: "eat the rest, eat it next time and cook it, but don't hit it under the night dew, it will be poisoned!" "

The long stemmed Chinese pipe finally left, and the little girl watched him.

The filter, which has been smoking with her face pinned aside, walked up to the little girl, put her fat wrist with a watch in front of her and shook it, saying, "Look, it's ten o'clock, go get the crab!" "

The little girl stood silently for a while, turned around and provoked the empty basket, and silently walked outside the set.

The filter caught up with the step and grabbed the basket: "You are cheating, do you want to run?" Where are crabs? "

The little girl turned around, blinked mysteriously, smiled and said, "Come with me!"

They pushed their way out of the crowd in tandem. Cross the street and the alley, and you will see the sea in the east. There are many boats moored at the seaside.

"Well, it's over there, there's a lot to wait for!"

A stone in the heart of the filter fell to the ground, and a smug smile could not help showing on his face. The little girl walked fast, and he struggled to follow, but he still trotted and walked shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Hey, little comrade ..." He gasped. "Did you just go to sea?"

The little girl nodded: "Hmm."

"Just out of the water, the scale can be higher, huh?"

"hmm."

"Hey, little comrade, can you ..., hey hey, can you be a little cheaper? I ran ... this long way ..."

"hmm!" Unconsciously, the little girl went to the front again. The filter is another run.

Stepped on the beach, full of sand, like stepping on a cotton blanket. The little girl walked like a fly, but she suffered from the filter. As soon as the foot falls, it sinks deeply and the shoes are filled with sand.

"Ah ah, little comrade, slow down ... go ..."

The little girl turned around and smiled, "Come on, it's ahead." The filter wiped the sweat on her face, exhaled the gas in her stomach, stumbled, caught up, grabbed the basket and let the little girl drag it away.

By a small sampan, the little girl stopped. Filter a butt sitting on the ground, only to get out of the air without breathing.

The little girl unhurriedly put down the burden, turned the two baskets upside down, knocked them on the beach and threw them into the boat. Then, I jumped into the boat.

The filter tip froze: "Crab ... Crab ... Crab? ……”

The little girl giggled and bent over with laughter. The boat whirled gently in the water. She grabbed the paddle and shook it gently, and the boat swung into the sea. "The crab is in the sea!" She cried crisply.

The filter just knew it was taken in. He got up, rushed to the beach, stamped his foot and shouted, "Come back, come back! You yellow-haired girl! "

The little girl shook her oars at ease and blurted out a fishing song:

Hey-

If you want to eat birds,

Want to eat seafood and go to the ocean ...

The filter angrily grabbed a handful of sand and threw it into the sea. When I grabbed the second one, my hand was pricked by something. Looking down, I saw a big crab claw, which was just poured out of the basket by the little girl. Take a closer look, there are many miles! He didn't care about the little girl, so he quickly bent down to pick it up and put it in the net pocket. He counted in his mind: sixteen pincers and thirty-four crab legs ...

The fishing song is far away and the boat is far away. I can't hear or see. Leaving only a blue sea. There are layers of beautiful white waves surging on the sea ...
