In the evening, the setting sun came between the two sides of the straits, and the irrigation canal seemed to have become a river of gold, with sand and stones coming from east to west. The ships of cargo were either single or connected to the distance. The breeze blew, and the reeds on both sides rustled. The road was far away and the road stumbled down.

Taking off his cloth shoes and rolling up his trousers' legs, Lu Xingyuan squatted down from behind a piece of tiles. After carefully turning on the tiles, he saw a hairy crab less than two, about seven or eight cents in size, waving his eight claws and running horizontally into the water not far away, regardless of the tiles, the old nest under the tiles was being watched.

The crabs were far away, and Lu Xingyuan didn't care. Instead, he shook his little hand and lifted a brick corner not far away. He watched another crabs leave in shame, then stood up with satisfaction, walked forward a few steps, squatted down, and continued to torture the operation.

I just walked around and stopped and walked for about one mile. The distance was a long way to the number of river crabs on both sides of the irrigation canal close to Fenggu Township. I dare not say that if I had too many, I would definitely not be able to say that if I ran farther, it would definitely be more than a thousand nearby.

The problem now is whether the city people ate river crabs in 1986.

Even though time corresponds to Lu Xingyuan, he has been backwards for more than 30 years, but he has no super brain and cannot remember so many things, let alone the trivial matter of whether the city people in 1986 were eating crabs.

When I was walking along the irrigation canal, I had already made the decision to go to the county town tomorrow or even the city.

On the way home, the moon had already appeared in the sky, with birds singing, insects singing, frogs singing. If my mind wasn't full of hairy crabs, I would have been far from being praised for this rural scene.

The twenty-minute journey ended soon. Before Lu Xingyuan even entered the house, he heard howls from his youngest sister Lu Qingyao.

"What's wrong? I'm crying so sadly." Lu Xingyuan stood outside the house with his rice bowl, Lu Qingting, who had long hair, looked like a big girl.

"I don't want to eat, I have to wait for you to buy the meat before eating." Lu Qingting snuffed at the empty-handed elder brother.

She knew very well, but the New Year was no longer the holiday, so why would my elder brother buy some meat? Didn’t he come back empty-handedly? Fortunately, she didn’t have much expectations, so she naturally lost a lot of disappointment in her heart.

Lu Qingyao howled even more powerfully, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her. As she howled, she took the initiative to pick up supper.

"Mom, I'll go to the county town tomorrow." Zhao Mei's puzzled expression, Lu Xingyuan added another sentence: "Go and see if there is any school notice."

The fact that river crabs improve their family economy is still fantasizing about it out of thin air. Lu Xinglong does not want Zhao Mei to worry about gains and losses.

"I'm going to ask." Zhao Mei nodded her head.

Children's study was Lu Jianguo's most important thing during his lifetime, so even though his family was so difficult that he was extremely poor, she still advised several children to study. As long as the children were willing to enter the school gate, she could ask her grandpa to borrow money and go to the school where the children attended to write IOUs on credit.

After dinner, Lu Xingyuan and Lu Zhengyang took turns to take a shower with well water and went to the west room. The room was cramped and dark, and the buzzing sound of mosquitoes was clearly audible. Because of the thatch on the roof, sparrows often plucked bugs on it during the day, and there was even a slight smell in the room.

That night, I still slept very unhonestly after walking far away. The nightmare in my mind was gone, and I replaced it with steamed and marinated crabs.

"Daman, Daman." At around three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Mei called Lu Xingyuan to get up and went to the county town dozens of miles. She was walking around in the morning and walked back and forth in a day, and she didn't even have time to breathe.

"Mom, stop busy, I'll put a few tortillas in my hand."

In the kitchen, Lu Xingyuan stopped Zhao Mei, who wanted to make breakfast, took a few pieces of corn cakes left last night, and went out in a hurry. Today, he was considered a tough battle. It was not a joke.

I headed west along Provincial Highway 264 next to the irrigation canal. The road was getting faster and faster, and I became more and more excited. I said it was great to be young. If he was alone now, even if he could not win anything in his life, he would have made a fortune.

It was much earlier than expected. At around 8 o'clock in the morning and less than 9 o'clock, I arrived at the county town after walking a long journey. I even found a fishery market under the advice of locals.

Unfortunately, most of the species in the aquatic products market are fish, soft-legged shrimp, turtles and other aquatic products, and river crabs are everywhere.

Lu Xinglong was not discouraged at all, and he cheered himself up one after another. County D was too small, so there must be one in the city."

Sure enough, after spending 5 cents to take the bus to the aquatic products market in the city, Lu Xingyuan exhaled. Not only were there temporary vendors selling crabs here, but there were even people shouting to buy them!

The hem of the black cloth smeared the sweat stains and dirt on his face, and tried to make himself more decent and met a well-dressed middle-aged man on the road.

"Hello, manager? What is the purchase price of your crab?"

Wang Cheng was very confused. In the past two years, as the country further relaxed the market, he traveled around many places and met more people. However, this was the first time he saw someone talking so hard that he was full of goose bumps.

Wang Xiong glanced at his dark face, and he looked like a farmer, but he was very gentle and had a long way to go: "50 cents, no categories."

"It's not different in size, male and female?" Lu Xingyuan asked curiously.

Although crabs were not common on the dining table in his previous life, they could still understand the different prices of crabs.

Wang Xiong was surprised. He had been staying in the aquatic products market in Ningyuan City for two days. This was the first time someone mentioned the price difference between male and female crabs. He was still a young man who looked old but was actually a half-aged child.

"You can also divide the male and female. The female crab is expensive now, so it's 60 cents, the male one is 30 cents, and the size of the male one is at least one or more." Wang Xiong grinned. He was not doing business for the first time, and he could still be asked for a bargain by a child with no hair on his lips.

Lu Xingyuan frowned. It was certainly a welcome opportunity for crabs to have sales, but the boss who collected crabs treated him as a fool and could not accept it.

"Boss, you are not very honest. The hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake are sold at Pujiang at 708 yuan per pound, which is much higher than the pork price of one yuan, three or four pounds. Although my crabs are not as big as Yangcheng Lake, there are also many female crabs of two or two. Even if you add the transportation cost to Jiangnan, it is impossible to be so cheap?"

Wang Xiong was a little stunned. Although he didn't know what Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were, the price of crabs in the Pujiang market was similar to those reported by Lu Xingyuan. This time he also planned to make a small profit in Pujiang.

"Little brother just came back from Pujiang?" Wang Xiong hurriedly pulled Lu Xingyuan aside and handed over a cigarette.

He glanced at the bag of red plum smoke in Wang Xiong's hand that he could buy about half a pound of pork. After Lu Xingyuan pretended to be calm and refused, Fang said, "Boss, your surname is not your boss?"

"Wang Xiong."

"Boss Wang, let's open the skylight and say something, your price is really low." Before Wang Xiong's argument, Lu Xingyuan continued: "But I also know that it is not easy to do some small businesses these days, especially you small vendors who are tramping around. Maybe they will be imprisoned as speculators who destroy the market, so I think one dollar per pound is a very reasonable price."

The price of one dollar per pound is very high, but Wang Xiong is really a bit miserable, but he dare not annoy the guy in front of him. After all, he was seen through his underwear, and there is a saying that a strong dragon will not defeat the local snake. Fortunately, there is only one dollar per pound, and the rest is only 50 cents per pound, and he can still make a lot of money this time.

"Little brother?"

Lu Xingyuan grinned: "The surname is Lu, the road is long."

"Brother Lu, it's not impossible to negotiate a dollar per pound, but I have requirements."

Lu Xingyuan kept smiling while nodding, "Please say."

"The male and female crabs don't ask, but the weight must be more than two taels, and the maximum of 6 cents for less than two taels is given." The reality is reported quickly, and before we could walk far and happy for too long, Wang Xiong immediately put forward other requirements.

Lu Xingyuan's smile disappeared, but after weighing the pros and cons, he nodded: "No problem."

After winning back the city, Wang Xiong couldn't help laughing: "That's it, where is the little brother's goods now?"

"The crabs are still in the pond. I'm going home and I'm starting to catch them now. We'll meet here in three days."

The transaction time and location of the road left behind was stunned by the time and location, for fear that it wasn’t for someone to be enjoyed for a long time?

After squeezing back to the county bus, Lu Xingyuan's heartbeat slowed down. The price of crabs worth one dollar per pound was something he didn't dare to think about before he came. As for the price of the Mengren Pujiang crabs, it was also based on the future price of crabs that were more expensive than the average meat price. Unexpectedly, he accidentally bumped into them.

On the way back to the village in the county, I walked far away and swept my body. I felt tired after fighting wits and courage. While walking vigorously, I was planning my plan after returning to the village.

The reason why a man is guilty of being a treasure is clear, but he can figure it out in a short while.

He is short of money, and the sales channels of crabs can only be controlled by himself. The price of hiring crabs or purchasing crabs in the ten-mile villages should not be too high. In everything, the cheaper you earn from the villagers will be compensated in the future.

After the thoughts are clear, the road has accelerated its pace and finally returned to Lujia Village in the afterglow after sunset.

"Brother, big brother, you were admitted to Yanjing University." When the dilapidated adobe house Yin Linlu walked far away, Lu Zhengyang was already shouting to meet him, following his eldest sister Lu Qingting, and there was still some unknown reason behind him, so he knew that Lu Qingyao, who was running wildly.

Although the rural children who were admitted to technical secondary school in 1986 were not as proud as the ancestors, they were still magnificent, especially in the capital schools. Therefore, in the open space in front of Lu’s house, there were really many people waiting for the return of the talented man from the Lu family.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not Yenching University, it's Yenching Science and Technology College, it's a junior college, and it's a junior college. My brother will never be able to go to a real university in his life. You have to work hard in the future."
