Could you show how to produce a key to be used in ordinary cryptography works like sign and verify,..?

This is an elliptic curve crate, not a signature scheme or encryption scheme. You'll want some other higher level crate somewhere, depending upon what your doing, but most schemes build using this curve will not be beginner friendly.

yes, I'm a beginner in this field, could you suggest some crate provide an interface for signing and verifying?

BLS signatures are extremely slow unless massively aggregated. Aggregation involves messy topics like gossip network topology.

Check out ed25519-dalek if you just need a signature scheme. RustCrypto project has some ECDSA crates too. Also ring.
