Chapter 403 Recognized
This three-gun competition is a very appreciative competition, the regular three-gun competition is played by men and women together, and today is an exhibition competition, so only women come to compete. Watching a beautiful woman dressed as a cowboy shoot is really pleasing to the eye.
The three-gun competition is simple: first fire ten shots in a row with a rifle, then ten shots with two revolvers, four shots with a double-barreled shotgun, and finally a single round to the rifle and one shot alone. But this game process can shock Xiao Peng.
You know, this is a racing competition, cowgirls fight in pairs, and in order to increase their speed, they don't press the trigger at all, but hold the gun in one hand and flick the hammer behind the gun with the other. Xiao Peng has watched Westerns and knows that a revolver can shoot like this, but he didn't expect a rifle to be fired like this!
Of course, there is also an element of cunning in this, after all, there is no gunpowder in the bullet, so the gun has no recoil and can be shot like this. But the rhythmic crackling of the bullets hitting the steel target is also very sensitive! It only takes about ten seconds to shoot 25 rounds, and there is no one who has that speed------ you must reload when you shoot a double-barreled shotgun and finally a single rifle at the end. It's amazing how fast you look.
In other words, through this competition, you can also see the toughness of the Texas people. You know, the most common revolvers are six-round and use 9 mm rounds. As a civilian pistol, the 9 mm caliber is already large enough. You know, the larger the caliber of the bullet, the more powerful it is. Here in Texas, you will hardly see a six-engine left-wheeler, but a five-engine left-wheel with a caliber of 11.43. It's just to increase the power.
They do this for a powerful reason: the caliber is less lethal to the prey and threatens the life of the shooter, so we want to use the powerful one!
Watching the three-gun competition, Xiao Peng sighed: "No wonder Texas can produce so many Hollywood stars, people here feel very attractive regardless of men and women." ”
Texas is a place where actors come out, and Elizabeth Taylor, Tommy Lee Jones, Owen Wilson, Sharon Elizabeth, Beyoncé, etc. are all produced here. To be fair, the people of Texas have a unique charm that can't be described.
Yang Meng nodded: "That's right, Kagney Lynne Carter and Alexi Texas are good!"
When TJ heard this, he smiled knowingly, and the two high-fived. Xiao Peng doesn't even have to think about it, what a special erotic star, you are familiar with these things!
It's also strange to say, almost all Texas girls go to all kinds of showbiz, just to say a simple thing, almost all NBA cheerleading teams have Texas girls, and the Maple Leaf national team has them. It is said that Texas is conservative, maybe this is the so-called extreme of things.
Just like Huaxia, in the eyes of crooked nuts, they all say that Huaxia is conservative, please, is Huaxia conservative now?
In the end of the three-gun competition, it was the 'Miss Lowell Ranch' who won the championship, and the audience resounded with deafening cheers, and Xiao Peng finally understood what Chris meant by the Texas characteristics of 'big guns, big breasts, and big ass'. At this time, the 'Miss Lowell Ranch' definitely has all three characteristics at the same time!
After watching the three-gun race, Xiao Peng was just about to go to the bathroom before the final bull riding race, but found that those cowgirls did not end the game, they were all looking at their side, Xiao Peng looked left and right strangely, what is this for? Why hasn't the bull riding race started yet? Is this another exhibition race?
At this moment, I saw the host walk out, holding the microphone and saying, "Everyone watching our cowgirl performance, do you feel good?"
"Okay!" cheers rang out from the scene, but everyone was obviously a little confused in their eyes, what was this going to do? Isn't it time to start the bull riding race? What new tricks are going to be done?
The host shouted: "Today, it happens to be our 113th Sherington Cowboy Competition, more than a hundred years ago, we were just an annual game between cowboys, and now, it has become today's professional game, many people say that cowboys are dead, everyone tells me forcefully, will our Texas cowboys die?"
"No!" there was a loud shout. I don't know what's wrong, Xiao Peng remembered MacArthur's famous sentence 'veterans don't die, they just slowly wither'.
With the change of the times, many traditional things are disappearing, especially in China. Fortunately, the state has promulgated the "Notice on Strengthening the Protection of Cultural Heritage" and formulated a four-level protection system of national + provincial + municipal + county to protect these traditional cultures. Especially in the plastic surgery country, there is nothing to take Chinese things to apply for the World Heritage Site, which strengthens the protection of Chinese cultural traditions.
Of course, there are also some loopholes in the process of protection, such as Yang, the cultural heritage heir of the provincial intangible cultural heritage protection project 'Wudao Ancient Fire Society' in Hebei Province, as the only recipe to make 'pear vase' fireworks, was arrested by the police when he made fireworks in order to hold the Wudao Ancient Fire Festival, and was suspected of illegally manufacturing explosives.
According to the provisions of the law, Yang did violate the law, but his act of making fireworks was to inherit the intangible cultural heritage.
After all, Huaxia's development path is unique in the world, and there is no goal that can be used for reference.
The protection of tradition in the Stars and Stripes is relatively much better, and there are many people who adhere to tradition. To this day, there are still Amishi people who insist on not using electric cars. It's no surprise that the cowboy tradition has survived.
The host nodded, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "We are all fans of cowboy culture, and the cowboy's eternal friend is the horse. Today, at our rodeo, there are two special guests! Although they are not cowboys, they are also good friends of the horses!"
When Xiao Peng heard this, he glanced at Yang Meng, isn't he talking about himself?
Sure enough, the host continued: "At last year's Dubai Horse Racing World Cup, a horse shocked the world, winning an unprecedented six out of seven crowns, and that horse 'Silver' was the dream horse in our cowboys' hearts, and this year another racehorse 'Titan' shocked the horse racing circle of our Stars and Stripes Nation and won the Triple Crown with three record-breaking results! And the legendary jockey who created these two star horses, and his partner owner, are now on our race site! Let us applaud them!"
The applause rang out, everyone was looking left and right, looking for the two of them, Chris and TJ were also stretching their necks to find: "Damn, there are such awesome people? Why haven't they come out yet? I also want to see what they look like." ”
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and patted Yang Meng: "Dude, get up and say hello." ”
The two stood up and waved to everyone, and the scene resounded with cheers like a tsunami. No one loves horses more than cowboys, and probably in the entire Stars and Stripes, they won't be as popular as they are here.
The people next to him were even more stunned, but they didn't expect that the tourists around him who were looking at the excitement turned out to be the triple crown jockey partner. The most surprising thing is to say that Chris and TJ, they played with Xiao Peng and them all the way, I didn't expect the two to be such awesome people?
The host beckoned the two to the arena, handed over the microphone to Xiao Peng and the two, and motioned for them to say a few words to everyone, and Yang Meng directly handed over the microphone to Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng took the microphone and coughed dryly: "To be honest, I really admire you so much, I'm dressed like this now, I don't think my mother can recognize me coming, I didn't expect you to recognize it!"
There was laughter at the scene, Xiao Peng was right, he was wearing a cowboy hat and big sunglasses now, and he still didn't understand how these people recognized him!
A cowgirl in a white denim suit next to her looked excited: "I'll just say! It's them! You still don't believe me? I recognized them as soon as they got out of the car! I saw their pictures a billion times! How could I be mistaken!"
Yes, the feelings themselves were recognized as soon as they arrived here, and the feelings still have their own little fan girls here? No wonder they waved at themselves after the beauty pageant, it turned out that their feelings were right. That's when they recognized themselves.
After hearing this, the host smiled and said, "Xiao, how do you feel when you come here today to watch our rodeo competition?"
Xiao Peng smiled at the cowgirl and nodded, answering the host's question: "Today, I saw the rodeo competition here, I was really moved! Now the society is developing, we have thrown away a lot of traditional things, but here, I seem to go back to a hundred years ago, everyone maintains their own culture, and can get joy from it, this is only possible by everyone's joint efforts, as long as you cowboys exist, cowboy culture will never disappear, and it can only get better and better!" Believe me, I swear to God, today you gave me a shocking lesson, well, you are all happy people! Because the man in the denim suit is the most handsome, and the woman in the cowboy hat is the most beautiful!"
Listening to Xiao Peng's words, the scene erupted in thunderous cheers. Everyone carries the sedan chair, everyone likes to listen to good words, right? Such good words, Xiao Peng can say for an hour without repeating the same.
Xiao Peng took the microphone and interacted with the host there, but in the cowshed on the side, someone whispered: "Josh, look at Megan, she looks at the Chinese people in the wrong way, it seems that your competitor has appeared!"
The young cowboy named Josh looked at Xiao Peng angrily: "You don't need to say it!
"So what do you want to do? How about you go up and challenge him? You're the best cowboy of the younger generation. He's definitely not your opponent!" the speaker suggested.
Josh snorted, "I don't bother to play with him, what is he? Why compare with me? I've already thought about it, come, let's do this!"
Xiao Peng also finished interacting with the host at this time, waved his hand, and was about to leave the arena when he suddenly heard a loud noise, and when everyone turned around, they saw a bull rushing out of the fence and rushing towards the three people standing in the middle of the arena, and the scene resounded one after another exclamations.
