Chapter 932: Horse Racing at the Bull Race
Things are easy and difficult in the world, and the first thing a person wants to do is how much he is capable of.
If a person is prepared enough for something, has enough ability, and has enough knowledge of what he does, then it is not very difficult.
Yan Fei's plan to acquire the ranch was only one week, and he acquired three small ranches, including the old Connor.
The other two are not doing well, and whatever the reason for the poor management, it doesn't matter. In short, when Yan Fei paid a slightly higher price than the market and promised a few 'flashy' prices, the two small ranches obediently became part of the morning glory ranch.
It's a pity that only one of these two ranches is a little closer to Yanfei's ranch, but it is only closer, not directly next to each other.
But his plan had to be terminated for a while, because the bull race in Maple Leaf Town was about to begin.
……
Maple Leaf Town is a small town not too far from Beihe Town, which is not too far away and is about a hundred kilometers away.
The scope of the bull racing activities is unknown, and basically you can come as long as you sign up. It doesn't matter if it's a little farther away, all ranch organizers are welcome to attend.
Anyway, the prizes are not very good, and the most important thing is an entertainment.
The format of the bull race is also more traditional, including some savage-looking sports – such as horse training and bull taming, with the wild horse chosen and the bull the most grumpy.
There are also events related to cattle that are related to chasing the bull and knocking it down to be completed, as well as racing an untamed bull to see who rides for a long time and riding a bull.
Related to horses are some equestrian performances, including those with and without saddles, and those with cows and horses riding calves on horsebacks.
For many 'civilized people', these games are simply full of barbarism. But for traditional ranches, it's the exciting entertainment they seek.
Yan Fei brought most of the people in the field, as well as two horses and two cows.
These two horses are in charge of horse racing and equestrian performances, and in fact, only one cow is needed, and one more is a backup. Except for him, who was going to try it himself, the others were cowboys from the original ranch.
The sunspots were eager to try, but unfortunately they were all vetoed by Yan Fei - the time was really a bit short, and it was impossible for them to compare with the original cowboys on the ranch.
The gap must be admitted, entertainment is entertainment, there is no need to play with life.
"Yan, what do you think?" asked Old Man Hayden with a smile at Yan Fei. He is also one of the judges, and he hasn't started yet, and if he starts in a while, he won't be able to continue to accompany Yan Fei and them here.
"No problem. Yan Fei also smiled. "My people are already eager to try, maybe I can go back with a few trophies today!"
"That's good!" Hayden's confidence in Yan Fei was when he saw those two cows, and in his opinion, Yan Fei's two cows were really good, and if he participated in the bull riding race, he might still have a chance.
But horses are a bit hard to say, although this kind of event is entertainment, but you can't pull two pack horses, right? at least the running and other events are probably no fun!
It can't be blamed that Old Man Hayden is not optimistic about Yan Fei, Boss Yan's two horses are a little too strong. Originally, when he bought them, several horses were stronger than other horses, but after a month of raising them, the horses now looked more like big horses pulling carts.
Xu Xiaoyan doesn't care about awards or anything at all, she just watches the excitement.
However, when the cowboys looked at Yan Fei from time to time, they felt a little bottomless. They are not afraid that they will not get the award, they are still quite confident in their outreach, and it is nothing if they can't win the award, anyway, just do their best.
The key is that they are afraid of Yan Fei on the field, although Yan Fei also followed them to understand the project of the event in the ranch, and tried it a few times. But this thing is risky after all, and the more Yan Fei tries, the more they don't want Yan Fei to participate - such a salary is never in arrears and rewards from time to time, the key is enough to be down-to-earth young bosses, they are really not willing to let him have some accidents.
"Old Hatton!" Yan Fei suddenly stood up and shouted into the distance. "This way!"
In the distance, a guy with a cigarette in his mouth and his rosacea shining in the sun, who else could it be if he wasn't the drunken old guy last time?
"Hey, Yan!" said Old Hatton and laughed, this time he shouldn't have started drinking, and his attitude has not changed. "Are you here too?"
"Compare!" Yan Fei smiled. "Didn't you have to compete with me last time? How about a horse race? I'll bet a hundred dollars. ”
"......" Old Hatton scratched his head. "Do you still remember what I said when I was drunk! Well, bet on it, who do you let play? Little Ethan or Little Ryan?"
Ethan is the youngest cowboy on the ranch, but Ryan is the smallest, and he is said to have competed in the past.
"Racing puts Ryan on the field. Yan Fei stretched out his hand and pointed at himself. "How many do you want to compete? I'm going to participate in the horse training competition myself, how about it?"
"Whatever you want!" laughed old Hatton. "You can bet on a few games, but I'll say it first, and you won't blame me for lying to you when the game is over. You're still running too short!"
"Don't worry!" Yan Fei patted the satchel on his body. "I've got money, and I believe in my cowboys, and I believe in myself. ”
Old Hatton laughed without saying a word, and suddenly saw another old man not far away, and immediately shouted: "Old fellow Dilan, our new ranch is going to bet on me, do you want to participate?"
Dilan was a lean old man, and when he heard the shouts from here, he walked over, and after a few steps, he had already swept all the people around Yan Fei: "The new rancher?
"Yes, it's me!" Yan Fei greeted with a smile. "Hello Mr. Dylan!"
"Old Hatton, this old guy is very sinister, don't be fooled by his appearance!" Dylan despised Old Hatton. "You've been here for too short, if it's almost the time for the National Day. ”
"It's all about participating!" Yan Fei said he didn't mind.
"Okay!" Dilan looked at Yan Fei for a while. "How to bet?"
……
Just when Yan Fei and several ranchers agreed on a bet, the first game was about to start.
The first was the horse race, which was the least risky event, and everyone rode the horses in the ranch for a lap. The point is that there are no good horses, and it can only be regarded as an appetizer for this event.
"Ryan, come on!" Ethan and a group of cowboys, including Kuroko, also screamed and cheered on their riders.
However, Di Lan's face darkened: "Yan, I shouldn't support you for the sake of face." If I had known you had found such a horse to come right away, I shouldn't have gambled a hundred dollars with Old Hatton. ”
Obviously, Ryan is not big, but he is the tallest among a dozen horses side by side—as soon as that horse comes on the field, many people start laughing!
You're an amateur, but you can't be so amateur, okay? Riding a pack horse and coming to the race, well, it's Morning Glory Ranch?
Before the game started, Ryan, who was wearing a morning glory ranch shirt printed on it, had already become the focus, and it didn't take long for many people to know who the morning glory was, and all eyes began to fly over here......
"Brother Heizi, did you see that female rider?" Cui Zhangfei shouted two slogans, staring at a female rider and couldn't take his eyes off. "My heart is beating!"
"Move your uncle!" Kuroko gave him a roll of his eyes angrily. "You see that other people's chest muscles are developed, right? Ryan, come on!"
"I'm really moved!" said Lao Cui cheekily. "Lao Jiang, go back and ask which ranch this beauty belongs to, let's go and start together, see who can grab it?"
Jiang Lianjian's face was extremely calm, he had been with these guys for so long, and he had already known each other very well: "At first glance, it's not my dish, Lao Cui, go by yourself! I don't think you may be able to surrender, looking at other people's physique, you can really catch up, and it is estimated that you will be angry at home in the future." ”
"Hurry up and shout come on!" Kuroko was very interested. "Here we go!"
With a bang, all the riders began to sprint...... Then there was a sudden pause in the voices on the field, followed by a loud burst of laughter.
Ryan slapped the horse a few times, but the guy under the crotch didn't run!
The young pony who entered the arena for the first time clearly didn't quite understand what it was all about, and Ryan had only been familiar with him for a few days, and he couldn't control him.
Yan Fei was in a hurry at that time, jumped down from the stands with a snort, and shouted at the horse: "Chitu, drive!"
Pure words.
When he shouted, he realized that he had done a very stupid thing, and he had tamed these horses in the first place. His habit was not bird talking, and he had not been professionally trained to race, but he shouted a pure 'Ride' and the horse ran away.
Sure enough, hearing his voice, at the urging of Ryan, the big horse he called Chitu finally reacted and began to run.
All of a sudden, the laughter was even louder, who had ever seen a horse racing, and even someone had to shout from the sidelines to run!
The key is still shouting in Mandarin, and a few yellow-skinned people began to stand up and look this way.
Yan Fei clasped his thumb and index finger, put it into his mouth, and let out a sharp whistle - he was also in a hurry, and he almost lost face now. If you run to the end in a while, it will be completely gone!
……
"Chitu is running!" came the host's voice from the loudspeaker. "Although it moved a little late, it was still quite fast, and it didn't match its size at all. Hold on, Chitu...... Chitu is a racehorse from Morning Glory Ranch, and his owner, Tsubame, became our rancher not long ago. This is their first time competing and we want to support this spirit of courage......"
Doesn't that mean that we have nothing but the spirit of competition?
Yan Fei's face was dark, and the laughter on the field was still not small.
Kuroko and the others all shouted wildly with black faces, cheering Ryan on. The whistle that Yan Fei had just stopped sounded again, and after blowing for a while, he shouted a few times at the top of his voice!
It really works!
"Our red rabbit is coming from behind, it has caught up with the prince from the Brak Ranch, hurry up...... It's so fast, it's more than a horse again...... Two horses...... Let's cheer for Chitu! He is a young stallion that the rancher Yan bought back and has only been training for a month, and it looks like he has a lot of potential...... It's in the top 10!"
"Chitu, come on!" Xu Xiaoyan looked at Yan Xiaofei's excited appearance, and also stood up and began to shout.
"Chitu, come on!" Kuroko's group also shouted.
Gradually, the rest of the audience began to shout along, and there were even people from other ranches......
I have to say that in this kind of informal competition, the spirit of participation is indeed more valued than the victory or defeat. Everyone had fun, and a young pony who participated for the first time rushed into the top 10 from the end, and even continued to surpass, which made the audience on the field start to get excited - although the size of the red rabbit really can't be called small, but the age is small.
At first, the hooligan whistle was only blown by Yan Fei alone, and then I don't know who started to blow it, and after a while, there were people blowing whistles everywhere, and the atmosphere was so warm that even the sun was not so hot.
The first scene was originally to mobilize the emotions of the audience, and when he saw the situation on the field, even the host in the loudspeaker began to cheer for Chitu, and every introduction did not forget to mention the new morning glory ranch.
"In second place, Chitu ran in second place. "The host on the loudspeaker was excited. "The first three crossed the finish line almost at the same time, and if it wasn't for Chitu's first time racing, and it didn't look like it was very familiar with the riders, and it started a few seconds late at the start, I thought maybe it would have been a bigger surprise for everyone. ”
"Red Rabbit, Red Rabbit, Red Rabbit ......"
The audience on the field also shouted Chitu's name, although it didn't get the first place, but everyone still gave it the highest honor cheered by the audience.
"Old Hatton, you've lost!" said Dylan with a smile and held out his hand. "You've lost your eyes, I've lost your eyes, and the whole audience has lost their eyes! Yan, you have given us a surprise. Never before has a horse of this size been able to run so well in the field. ”
Yan Fei wiped the non-existent sweat: "Fortunately, I ran second, otherwise I would have lost face!"
"Haha......" Everyone around them laughed, but this time it wasn't surprise or ridicule, but encouragement.
"It's very good!" Old Hatton willingly took out two hundred yuan and gave one to Yan Fei and Dilan.
I didn't say anything about being able to participate in the official horse race, this kind of race is just playing, and the horse that ran first was actually just like that, and it would be abused when it went to the official race. What's more, Chitu's big man, even if he ran first, in fact, everyone is still not very optimistic.
After giving Yan Fei money, Old Hatton asked the other ranchers who gambled with him for their own wins—Old Hatton was really good, his horse ran third, and everyone else lost to him except for Dilan's first.
Accepting the banknote, Yan Fei stuffed the money into his bag, directly took off the bag and handed it to his daughter-in-law, and said to the people around him: "I'm going to participate in the second competition, wait for me to tame the fiercest wild horse!"
"Hey!" the others smiled as he watched, and Dylan yelled. "Be careful, if you fall, remember to get off the horse quickly!"
"Thank you!" Yan Fei smiled at Dilan. "Old Hatton, are you still gambling?"
"Of course!" said old Hatton, waving the money in his hand, he had won more than he had lost, and he had still earned. "Who thinks there are a lot of money? Old guy Dilan, do you still want to gamble?"
