6. Because the chrysanthemum yellow crab is plump in autumn and the autumn wind is blowing into the lunar September, the plump hairy crab has already traveled across Shenzhen. As the saying goes, September is the best month for a female crab, and October is the best time for a male crab. At this time, when the female crab paste is fragrant and the meat is tender, the sweet and tender crab meat with sweet fragrance and oil flow makes the consumers greedy and quick to eat.

As a homophonic word, "crab" can't be more suitable.
