Chapter 323: Louisville
There are hundreds of tournaments at the official level in the United States every year, but the most eye-catching ones are always the Triple Crown, the three most high-impact races.
This is not only the United States has a triple crown, in fact, each country has its own triple crown, such as Xiao Peng's 'cherry blossom prize' in the Wa country, which is called the 'Triple Crown Race' of the Wa Kingdom together with the 'Autumn Flower Award' and the 'high-quality horse', and the Wa people like this kind of tall name the most, so what else is there in the Wa country 'South Kanto Triple Crown', 'Peony Horse Triple Crown' (the peony horse is a male horse), ' The Triple Crown of the Autumn Horses' blah blaγγγγγγh bla
If a horse could win all three races in the Triple Crown of the same year, it would be called the 'Triple Crown' and its value would skyrocket! But because of the close proximity between the Triple Crown of the Stars and Stripes, it would not be easy to win three races at the same time: there was only one day between the first Kentucky derby and the second Pyrex Stakes, and on that day you would have to race from Louisville, Kentucky, directly to Baltimore, Maryland, hundreds of kilometers away. It was a dusty journey, and I finally arrived at it, and I had to race it directly! This is really demanding on the horses. If you want to win the triple crown at the same time, in addition to strength, there is also an element of luck.
"Brother Peng, this Kentucky state is actually my favorite state when I was in the Stars and Stripes. After arriving at the accommodation arranged for the event, Bob took people to settle the race, Xiao Peng and the others rested in the room for a while, and Pan Peiyu came over with a wine glass: "Brother Peng, try this Louisville whiskey, the whiskey here is the best in the whole Star-Spangled Country." β
Xiao Peng smiled: "What do you like here? I can't tell what's good here." It feels like a big countryside!"
Pan Peiyu nodded and said, "Really, the reason why I like this place is really because I am poor here." After speaking, he took a sip of whiskey: "Brother Peng, what is your impression of Kentucky?"
Xiao Peng thought for a long time before saying, "University of Kentucky?"
Pan Peiyu snapped his fingers: "BINGO!" The Kentucky Wildcats are definitely the best winning team in the NCAA, and the first team in the NCAA to win 2,000!
This stopped Xiao Peng, although Xiao Peng has never been to the Stars and Stripes Country, but if you want to ask him about prosperous places such as New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, Xiao Peng still knows a little bit about it, but when it comes to relatively backward states like Kentucky, Xiao Peng really doesn't know.
Pan Peiyu said with a smile: "Actually, this Kentucky is a very interesting state, you said that their state capital is in Frankfurt, but who has heard of it?
"Germany. Xiao Peng replied.
Pan Peiyu looked excited after hearing this: "Right? Right? Many people in the Stars and Stripes don't know where the state capital of Kentucky is! You say it has no sense of existence, right?" As for the University of Kentucky, although the level of basketball is extremely high, it is a public university after all, and the teaching level is far inferior to their basketball level, so it does not attract too many international students, and the University of Kentucky is also in Lexington, which has nothing to do with Frankfurt, and Louisville, where we are now, is the largest city in Kentucky, but it has a population of less than one million, except for the Kentucky game, no one comes here at all, you can imagine how non-existent this is nowοΌβ
"Then why do you like it here?" Xiao Peng looked puzzled.
Pan Peiyu said with a smile: "Safety, compared with people in other places, Kentucky people are relatively simple, although they are not as prosperous as big cities, but they are comfortable and natural." Brother Peng, you just remember one thing, in the Stars and Stripes Country, everything is famous in big cities, that means chaos, and in states like Kentucky, big black brothers don't want to come over, so the safety here is much better than those big coastal cities!"
"Hey, hey, you're suspected of racism when you say this!" Yang Meng poured himself a glass of wine: "Damn, people say that the Stars and Stripes discriminate against us, why did you start discriminating against them?"
Pan Peiyu smiled bitterly: "Brother Peng, it's really not that I discriminate against them, you ask all the Chinese people who have been to the Stars and Stripes Country, except for those girls who like black big JJ, how many have not had a conflict with Lao Hei? Anyway, most Chinese students choose to walk around when they see black people. The most telling thing is that a state with fewer blacks like Kentucky is the safe state. β
"No, is it? How can it be so exaggerated?" Xiao Peng asked.
"Why not?" Bob walked back, holding a large box of cigars in his hand: "Pan is right, it's not that we discriminate against black people, I also have good black friends, but more black people are still speechless." Let me tell you this, in almost all the big cities of the Stars and Stripes, there is a 'Martin Luther King Jr.' community, and this neighborhood is definitely the most chaotic place in the city. β
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why is this?"
Bob explained, "You know, our Stars and Stripes are a welfare country, a paradise for the poor, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, and we don't have any income? Don't worry about eating or drinking. This also led to the fact that the black brothers hardly worked. Here's the statistic: More than 97 percent of Black people used food stamp benefits before age 22. Anyway, they can't starve to death, so for them, they just want to make a lot of money. Either you play sports, or you play music, or you become a soldier or a policeman, or you even go out to commit crimes, but no one goes to work!"
Pan Peiyu said: "It is said that we Chinese people like to gather together after they come out, but this is also a helpless thing, with white people, they don't want to be with you, and with black people, it is easy for them to take them into the ditchγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng thought for a while and said, "Bob, your Stars and Stripes are too unfriendly to black people. There was a black-and-white clash all day long. Is it because of your discrimination? Look at your cops, shoot black people when they have nothing to do. Is there a life in the eyes of this damn thing?"
Bob's words were astonishing: "Who said that only black people are beaten? White people can't fight well? Our Stars and Stripes Country is not like you in China, you have banned guns there, so that's safe, we don't ban guns here, do you know if the suspects have guns on them? If they want to resist, what will be the result? The lives of the police also need to be guaranteed! This is also the reason why there have been so many police shootings, but they have all been acquitted in the end, because their actions are supported by the law." Of course, I don't deny that there are people who do shoot because of discrimination, but they are also in the minority. To tell the truth, I am in Huaxia during this time, and you Huaxia are really too safe, I dare to go shopping on the street after half past nine, which is simply unimaginable in the Stars and Stripes Country. β
Those who say that the Stars and Stripes are good, they should all listen to you. Xiao Peng concluded: "By the way, Bob, what are you doing with a big box of cigars?"
Bob reacted at this time, and quickly took out a moisturizing cigar box from a bag next to him and handed it to Xiao Peng, took out a few cigars from it and put them in them and handed them to Xiao Peng: "My friend gave me an authentic Cohiba, how about you taste it." β
Xiao Peng took the cigar box: "Bob, thank you, how are the two horses doing?"
Bob gave a thumbs up: "Great! With Feng and Liu here, their safety is also assured. "The Feng and Liu he said were security guards called by Shan Zhan. With the lesson of the Wa Kingdom, Bob also began to nervous about the safety of the horse race.
Yang Meng smiled and said, "Brothers, let's rest for a while, where do you want to go at night?"
Bob pouted, "Yang, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, do you think there's any place to play in this city of only 700,000 people? You can go to the bar and have a drink or two with a bunch of rough guys, but that's all." β
Yang Meng looked disappointed when he heard this: "Bob, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Pan Peiyu shrugged: "Mengzi, do you know what our country's international students call Kentucky?"
Yang Meng shook his head, and Pan Peiyu continued: "Gansu Province is called the Stars and Stripes Country. β
"Damn, don't insult us in Gansu, okay? We can also find fun places when we go to Gansu!" Yang Meng listened to it for a day with disdain.
Bob smiled: "Okay, Mengzi, you can endure it for two days, just wait until the game day." β
"What's so fun about race day? Isn't it just running a lap of the horse? Yang Meng looked disdainful.
Bob explained: "It's a beauty pageant, and on that day, you're going to see a lot of celebrities, celebrities, fashionistas, and then it's up to you!"
Yang Meng took out a cigar from Bob's cigar box and lit it: "But I'm not bored to death these two days!"
Xiao Peng patted Yang Meng: "Okay, let's adjust the state of the horses with me in the past two days." Bob, your friend can be trusted, can't he?"
Xiao Peng's current residence is in Bob's friend's horse farm, which is about a ten-minute drive from the horse farm, which is also convenient.
Bob nodded: "It should be fine, and there are people staring at it, foolproof." By the way, Mengzi, you have to keep your eyes open when the time comes, and there will be a lot of flesh and bones at that time. If you get involved, it's trouble, look at Kobe Bryant and Tyson, which one won't let people take a bite? This is the Stars and Stripes Country, even if you are willing to sue you when you are together, people can really sue you!"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Bob, don't worry about Mengzi, he will never worry about these situations." β
Bob was stunned: "Why?"
Xiao Peng said: "Mengzi's idol is Brother Guanxi, and people like to video as a souvenir." β
Bob gave a thumbs up: "I don't know who's next Paris and Kim." β
Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are both people who became popular after the XX video was leaked, the former's video was sold to the media by her ex-boyfriend, and the latter was even more fierce, and her mother directly took the video to sell it for moneyγγγγγγ
Xiao Peng picked up the phone: "Okay, it's time to get down to business." After that, he made a call: "Hey, Pagio, I'm already in Louisville." I'll send you the address. Right. Okay, I'll wait for you!"
