Chapter 151 Is This Child Stupid?
Yu Xiaolian made an agreement with his father not to talk about being followed as her mother, so as not to worry her mother.

I don't know if the people who followed them were sent by shopkeeper Wang, or they were just people looking for money. In short, for the sake of safety, they didn't dare to go to Jumingxuan anymore.

The next day, after breakfast, Yu Xiaolian wanted to go to the pier.

Sun was worried that she would go out alone and asked Zhao Erya to follow her.

Little Huzi also wanted to go out arguing, but was coaxed by Yu Xiaolian with a handful of nuts and stayed in the inn.

The inn they stayed in was near the pier, so Yu Xiaolian and Zhao Erya arrived at the pier soon.

There is a lot of humidity on the pier, there is a cool breeze, people come and go, it is very lively.

The long-term workers unloaded the goods from the ship that had just landed, and each time they carried the goods, they received a bamboo stick from the person in charge of recording.

Some strong and hard-working people already have a lot of bamboo sticks in the cloth bag around their waists because of the many times of carrying. To carry the next trip.

These bamboo sticks are a way of keeping track of items. When the goods are unloaded, the person carrying the bag will go to the foreman to calculate today's wages according to the amount of bamboo sticks.

A shipment of goods was quickly unloaded. Those who carried more earned more than a hundred pennies, while those who carried less earned only a few dozen pennies.

In addition to the men carrying bags, there are many fishing boats and food stalls on the pier, which is very lively.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, what are you doing at the pier?"

"The family has not been peaceful recently, and both children were born with malaria. My mother asked me to come to the pier to find a crab and hang it on the door to avoid malaria ghosts."

"My Kanban uncle's boat has just come back from the sea. Go and ask, maybe you can get one or two of them. I'm afraid that Uncle Ban will throw it back into the sea if you go late."

"Then let's see you later..."

Yu Xiaolian heard the word crab with sharp ears, and immediately pulled Zhao Erya up to the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang in front.

Crab, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

A middle-aged man surnamed Zhang walked quickly to the front of a fishing boat and shouted loudly, "Uncle Ban, someone in my family has malaria, I'm here to find a crab..."

Uncle Ban, who was picking up fish in the bamboo basket, looked up and saw that it was someone he was familiar with, so he rummaged through the miscellaneous fish, large and small, in the cabin.

After a while, I found a palm-sized crab from among the dazzling fish, and threw it on the shore with all my strength.

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang took out the thin rope from home, wrapped the two claws of the crab back and forth several times, thanked Uncle Ban, and left.

Yu Xiaolian stared at the big crab held by the middle-aged man, her eyes straightened.

Big, really big.

The crab shell alone is as big as a palm, and it is still a swimming crab.

"Little girl, you are also here to ask for crabs?" Uncle Ban vigorously carried a bamboo basket of lively fish to the shore.

"Uncle, how much is a catty of crabs?"

Uncle Ban showed a naive smile on his dark face blown by the sea breeze, "How much is a catty? Who would spend money on this? No money!"

Yu Xiaolian's eyes widened, and she asked uncertainly, "No money?"

Uncle Ban was confused by Yu Xiaolian's expression, paused for a moment, and said, "Well, you don't need money, and you can't eat this thing, who would spend money on it?"

If you spend money to buy crabs, is your head kicked by a donkey?
"Uncle, crabs are edible and delicious. Have you never tasted them?"

There was a trace of pity on Uncle Ban's face, whose child is this?It's not like you can't afford fish, right?Why do you even eat crabs?

Crabs are oddly shaped, not to mention ugly, and they walk sideways. Every household here uses crabs to avoid malaria ghosts. I have never heard of that person who dared to eat them.

"You have eaten?"

Yu Xiaolian nodded, "Well, the crab is delicious, very delicious."

Uncle Ban looked Yu Xiaolian up and down, this girl is really brave, she dared to eat such a hideous and terrifying thing.

Uncle Ban asked again, "How many did you eat? How long ago did you eat them?"

Why hasn't it been poisoned?Didn't it say that crabs are highly poisonous?

Yu Xiaolian tilted her head and thought for a while, "I ate it a long time ago, and I have eaten many of them."

It's still eaten in her previous life. Since she came here, she hasn't eaten it once.

"Uncle, how many crabs do you have, the ones as big as just now, ten cents a catty, I want them all."

Uncle Ban was stunned for a moment, he really had his head kicked by a donkey to sell crabs.

"Ten Wen?"

Uncle Ban felt that he threw a piece of silver into the sea today, and got at least two taels.

Because when he was out of the boat this morning, he was unlucky and caught several nets of crabs. He was so angry that he scolded his mother.

Moreover, these crabs have many legs, and they trembled when they were hung on the fishing net. Later, Uncle Ban picked them off one by one and threw them into the sea.

Throw one and scold the other, don't come again, come to my net again, I will scold all eight generations of your ancestors.

What he wants is fish, he doesn't mind big fish and small fish, so don't make trouble for crabs.

Uncle Ban has been fishing for many years, and what he hates the most is crabs. It can be said that there is no fisherman in his area who does not hate crabs.

Every time before they go out to sea, they discuss which sea has fewer crabs, and then they can avoid places with more crabs.

Now someone tells him that he wants to buy crabs and pay ten cents a catty. Uncle Ban wonders if this kid is stupid?

Ten pennies?Wouldn't it be delicious to eat some fish?
Uncle Ban couldn't bear to steal money from children, "If you want it, I'll find some for you, no money."

Although he brought back a lot of fish, some crabs fell into the cabin, and he had to bend down to pick them out, and there should be some crabs in the boat.

"How can I do without money, uncle, I need a lot of crabs, a few are not enough.

That's good, you will keep all the crabs you caught in the sea these two days, and I want them all, ten cents a catty, as many as I want! "

Anyway, she has space in the supermarket, and the things put in the supermarket can remain in their original state, neither need to be fed nor die.

It will be difficult for them to buy crabs after they leave this sea.

Put it in the supermarket, you can eat it slowly, and when you are hungry, just steam a few to relieve your hunger.

"Are you sure? Ten cents a catty?"

Uncle Ban looked unbelievable, this fish only sells for eight Wen a catty, and the small fish is only three Wen a catty, this ugly crab is actually worth more than fish?
Uncle Ban thought to himself, this girl probably doesn’t know how thick the crabs in the Bohai Sea are, and there are so many of them that they are overwhelming. Was scolded by his old lady.

"If you want, I'll go out to sea in a while. In less than an hour, I can bring back a boat for you, and I guarantee that all of them are this big!"

Yu Xiaolian nodded wildly, took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and handed it to Uncle Ban, "This is a deposit, go and call, I'll wait for you at the pier."

When Uncle Ban saw Yinzi, he realized that the girl was really not joking, and immediately called the old fish seller on the other side of the pier to come over, saying that he had to go to sea again.
