It's also nice to eat the meat while grilling it.

Xiao Peng glanced left and right: "There are so many people in this horse race, it seems that this is really a big race!" Looking around, there were at least hundreds of cars at the scene, including professional horse racing cars like Huang He, and more of them were liberation trucks, which directly put the horses in the carriage, and there were at least seven or eight hundred horses on the scene.

Most of these Mali are three-hippos and Mongolian horses, which are very characteristic of Inner Mongolia. The Mongolian horse is short and unsightly, but this kind of horse, together with Genghis Khan, became a nightmare for the entire Eurasian continent, and it is definitely a durable horse breed, and it can even withstand the cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius in winter! Excellent endurance, not afraid of the cold, extremely strong vitality, able to survive in difficult and harsh conditions. Nowadays, Mongolian horses are divided into three categories because of their different living environments, namely Uzhumuqin horses, Wushen horses and iron hoof horses.

However, modern Mongolian horses are relatively pitiful, almost no one pays attention to them, there is no directional cultivation, there is no pedigree, and they generally tend to be in a state of self-destruction, after all, they are short and have little place in the modern racecourse.

In comparison, the status of the three hippos is a little better. After all, it is known as China's three famous horses along with the Hequ horse and the Yili horse. However, the sad thing is that the reason why they can be called famous horses by the Chinese is that they are all horses with great dry energy, and another reason is because they have good meat use, rich nutritional value, lean meat and less fat. In China, good food is the most promising. But in any case, the Three Hippos are relatively well developed among the Chinese horse breeds. At least stronger than the Mongolian horse.

Huang He replied to Xiao Peng: "You should think that this is the Jerim Horse Racing Festival in autumn." ”

Every year on August 18, a horse racing festival is held in Zhelimu, Tongliao, Inner Mongolia, which can be regarded as another form of Naadam conference. Traditionally, horse racing is one of the easiest pastimes for herders to do on the grasslands. Winning a horse race is considered the supreme glory of the nomads. But now the reason for attracting these owners is much simpler: money.

The prize money for the champion of this horse race is actually pitiful. The prize money for a single champion is only 50,000 yuan. It's not enough for a lot of car owners to come here for fuel. Even so, there are still hundreds of owners who come here to race because of the interests behind the race.

The stake here does not refer to gambling. If a horse wins the championship here, it will directly become a sought-after commodity in the eyes of horse dealers, and its value will directly increase to more than ten times! Several big horse dealers have been waiting here for a long time, and they will buy it back to be a breeding horse.

In fact, in ancient times, the Mongolian people had a habit of not liking to ride stallions, and these horses had to be gelding, which was called 'castration', and the horse's endurance would be better after castration, and the character would be higher, and it would be very stable. Now, because of the consideration of economic value, many horses are not gelding, and the ability to maintain breeding, once the race is successful, the value will increase several times.

Xiao Peng found something interesting and asked Huang He curiously: "Why do so many people here play their own games? You should be in the same circle, right? Why don't you communicate?"

These owners all get together with their own people and don't talk to any other owner at all, except to communicate with the dealers.

Huang He pouted: "These people are more than a chicken thief, you talk to them? You talk to him about the feed formula, he talks to you about the competition, you talk to him about the competition, you talk to you about the training, you talk to him about the training, he talks to you about the formula, it seems to be very mysterious." It's boring to talk to them. Look, the horse dealers, they're the most popular people here. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "If your horse wins the championship, will you also sell it for a high price?"

Huang He shook his head: "My competition is equestrian eventing, and the sprint competition is just for fun. I don't have confidence in racing. I reported a 2,000-kilometer run for the 'big scene', so let's count as many as I can. You also know that my height and weight are okay to play equestrian triathlon, but if I play racing, I am too heavy, and the burden on the horse is also heavy, and the horse can't run fast. ”

Xiao Peng asked, "What are you going to do if you have a 'big scene' race?" Where can you find a jockey?"

"Just hire one, this jockey's experience is sometimes not proportional to his age, and if I want to make the horse run faster, hire a Mongolian kid in his teens to be a jockey for me. They are small, light weight, and have no problem being jockeys at all. Huang He replied.

"Uh, can you still win like this?" Xiao Peng was stunned.

Huang He explained: "The Mongolian people are known as the 'people on horseback', and what they are most proud of is their ability to control horses! Just like the children in the city learn to ride bicycles, in the past, Mongolian children will be tied to the saddle by adults when they reach the age of three, and practice the technique of not holding the saddle with their hands, so that they can bend the bow and shoot with their free hands in the future. Every year when it comes to this horse racing festival, some young people who are good at riding come here to help people ride horses to earn pocket money. ”

Xiao Peng pouted: "By the way, how can such an Inner Mongolia Horse Racing Festival be more equestrian than triathlon? ”

Huang He shrugged: "No way, our Chinese horse racing is too backward, and now if you want people to pay attention to this sport, you need to change." Inner Mongolia is the best place for the development of horse racing in our country, and it is best to connect with international standards from here. Don't look at this game, it is a game organized by Zhuo Yannaoer's side, but it is also an international one-star competition, and there are racer points. In the past two years, many horse racing competitions in Inner Mongolia have added equestrian eventing events on the basis of racing, but the number of participants is much smaller than that of sprinting. ”

Xiao Peng was speechless: "It seems that if you want to be famous in horse racing, there is no drama at all in China, and you still have to go abroad to play." ”

Huang He smiled bitterly: "You are not wrong, but so far, the level of horse playing in China is still too backward." So far, there are only a few people who have played the roll call. In foreign countries, our Chinese jockeys are not as popular as Chinese chefs. ”

Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "It seems that you chose the wrong sport." It's too hard for you to come up with a grade. ”

Huang He shook his head: "No matter whether you get grades or not, this is a hobby, in this era, not everyone can do what they like to do, don't you say?"

Xiao Peng lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "It's very philosophical." But with so many people competing, it's a lot of days. ”

"Actually, it's a two-day thing, and the regular equestrian eventing is more than three days, which is called CCI, also known as the three-day race. The first day is dressage, the second day is cross-country, and the third day is show jumping. For example, there are three-day equestrian competitions from the international one-star to the four-star international star. Huang He replied. "In the case of a horse inspection prior to the first dressage and the third obstacle course in the three-day race, a veterinary officer appointed by the International Equestrian Federation or the event organization shall conduct a routine inspection of the horse's condition in accordance with the regulations. There is a team of veterinarians, race officials and referees to make the decision. ”

"No, you wait. Xiao Peng interrupted Huang He's words: "You're wrong, right? The equestrian competition alone will take three days, but you said that this horse racing festival is only two days?"

Huang He shrugged: "Of course I'm not wrong, although this horse racing festival is an international one-star event, the rules of equestrian eventing are CIC, that is, one-day races, that is, three competitions are completed in one day, the first is dressage, and the second is not cross-country, but an obstacle race." There is no horse test on this day, but after the first and second races, the jury has the right to decide whether the rider and horse will do the third cross-country race. ”

"How does it sound like a castrated version of an equestrian eventing?" Xiao Peng shrugged.

Huang He let out a long sigh: "Who says it's not? So there are one-star to three-star competitions in the one-day eventing, and there are no four-star competitions. That's because of that. Like this horse racing festival, although it is a one-star race, there are points for participation, but after all, it is a CIC event, and the points are also small. Therefore, those who come here to participate in the equestrian eventing are generally idle and have nothing to do to earn some points. ”

"Just like you?" Xiao Peng smiled.

Huang He didn't answer, he smiled bitterly and took out another piece of hand-handled meat from the pot, this thing tasted very strange, when he first ate it, he didn't feel that it tasted good, but after eating two slices, Huang He fell in love with this taste. Just then, another racecar drove up. Huang He's face changed: "Uh, why is he here too?"

Yang Meng was eating the meat on the side, looked at Huang He's expression was wrong, and asked, "Who is here? ”

Huang He sighed: "This is the pride of the Chinese equestrian circle, and it is also the common enemy of the entire Chinese equestrian circle. ”

"Well, what does this mean?" Di Wei, who was on the side, was also a little confused when he heard this.

Huang He looked at Xiao Peng and said, "His name is Hua Tian, you and Mengzi should know this person, right?"

Xiao Peng was stunned: "He is Hua Tian?"

Yang Meng didn't know: "Hua Tian, what are you doing?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "There are a total of more than a dozen Eton College students in China, and he and his younger brother are both from Eton College, do you think this person is awesome?"

Di Wei and Cai Junwei listened to the four words of Eton College, and Wei Chen first thought of Wei Chen in their minds, and they couldn't help but say together: "!"

"Brother Peng, what is this Huatian doing?" Di Wei asked.

"A person who renounces his British nationality and represents China in the Olympic equestrian competitions. Xiao Peng was concise.

"He was originally of mixed Chinese and British descent. Huang He said.

Xiao Peng thought for a while and added to Di Wei: "You people have a very good family background, but don't compare with him, compare with him, I'm not hitting you, and you together are not enough to compare with him." If he takes out a random person from his family, he will abuse you all over the audience. ”

Di Wei was stunned: "Brother Peng, you're not joking, are you?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "I'm really not joking, it's really such an exaggeration!"
