Chapter 121: The Horse Race
The two groups of people got together and started shopping in the supermarket. Zhang Ru's group bought very few things, generally snacks that girls love to eat, and these four people didn't get together a small car.
However, Lu Xiancheng's brother and sister bought a lot, in addition to snacks, milk, eggs, fruits, etc. were on the shopping list, and after a while, a shopping cart was already full, and Lu Xiancheng had to turn around and push another shopping cart.
Mei Qinrui looked at Lu Xiancheng and put a bag of rice in the car and suggested: "If you buy such a bag of rice, will you eat it in ten days?" ”。
"Maybe my sister will have to go over every once in a while, and there is no harm in buying more," Lu Xiancheng said with a smile.
Mei Qinrui glanced at Lu Muzhi, who was running like a flower butterfly in front of her, and said, "You are really good enough to your sister!" ”。
Mei Qinrui has never seen an elder brother spoil a sister who can spoil a sister like Lu Xiancheng, and she is not a sister but a cousin.
"It's just this one sister, I don't think too much," Lu Xiancheng said with a smile.
"She's going to have a lot of schoolwork in her freshman year, and I don't think she has much time to come to the villa at your horse farm," Mei Qinrui said.
As soon as Lu Xiancheng heard that Mei Qinrui had misunderstood, he thought it was the small bungalow in his countryside, so he explained: "It's not a horse farm, it's in the community opposite our school near the scenic spot, I bought a small villa and just renovated it."
Zhu Xue happened to hear this sentence and asked, "Do you still have a house here?" ”。
Looking at Lu Xiancheng and nodded, Zhu Xue smiled: "You have a lot of houses!" ”。
"Save it!" Lu Xiancheng said happily.
At this time, Lu Muzhi came over with a bunch of puffed junk food, put it in her brother's car, and then asked Lu Xiancheng: "Brother, Sister Zhang Ru said that they are going to make dumplings at night, why don't we invite a few sisters to go to our house to make dumplings together!" I'd love to eat your dumplings too."
"Making dumplings?" Lu Xiancheng looked at Mei Qinrui next to him in surprise and asked, "You guys are quite interested in such a hot day." Making dumplings to eat? ”。
"There's nothing going on these days, there's less training," Mei Qinrui said with a bitter face: "Everyone just wants to make a dumpling to satisfy their hunger!" ”。
"Okay?" Lu Muzhi looked at Lu Xiancheng and asked.
Lu Xiancheng said with a smile: "Even if you want to, you have to ask people if they want to."
After hearing this, Zhu Xue immediately joked: "Fools are unwilling, can there be no air conditioning in your house?" Besides, even if there is no air conditioning, we are not blind to your car's snacks and cold drinks, so we will not take advantage of such a big bargain? You're so innocent."
Lu Xiancheng listened and said, "Okay, let's go buy stuffing!" Are there any taboos? ”。
"It's all done!" Zhu Xue and Li Jing next to her said at the same time.
"Then I'll go to the meat counter and buy stuffing and dumpling wrappers," Lu Xiancheng said.
Lu Muzhi said at this time: "That kind of stuffing is not good. It's better to buy meat and go back to the stuffing yourself, the skin is not as strong as the hand rolling."
"People who don't do it themselves are very picky," Lu Xiancheng looked at his sister and said happily.
Lu Muzhi turned her head to Mei Qinrui and said: "The dumpling filling made by my brother is fragrant, and the filling that my brother chopped during the Spring Festival last year is more fragrant than that made by my aunt and my mother."
"You still have what it takes?" Mei Qinrui looked at it
"Just get it, anyway, put some ingredients in and eat it when it's cooked" Lu Xiancheng said modestly, as an old man who has been married for many years, it is really not too unusual to cook some food.
decided to make dumplings at night, and Lu Xiancheng bought celery here. The pork belly is a little thinner, and ginger, green onions, garlic and the like are used to taste.
When I waited to get out of the supermarket, I almost couldn't even fit the trunk of what I bought.
took Mei Qinrui and the four of them back to the villa, and a group of people naturally sighed again,
Lu Xiancheng went into the kitchen alone and began to wash meat and chop stuffing, doing the preliminary task of making dumplings.
Mei Qinrui walked in after ten minutes and saw Lu Xiancheng skillfully chopping meat on the cutting board with his double knives, so he asked, "Is there anything to be busy with?" ”。
"You can help me with the food when you have time. I picked the celery leaves, I don't like to eat the leaves" Lu Xiancheng was also unkind and directly supported others.
Mei Qinrui rolled up her sleeves and walked over to help.
Zhang Ru also came to the kitchen at this time and said to Lu Xiancheng: "Master Zhang! Are you preparing for a new house? The decoration is so magnificent".
Lu Xiancheng said to her jokingly: "When you get married, I will help you design a new house." It's the same level as this."
"Then I have to find a man like you first, who can afford to buy such a house. Is there anyone around you who has such a 'connotation' as you to help me introduce it, it doesn't matter if you are ugly, the money bag drum will become," Zhang Ru said jokingly.
Lu Xiancheng said happily: "There are a few in our dormitory, you can choose any one except me."
To be honest, the long-term thinking of the four girls in Mei Qinrui's dormitory is still quite outstanding, not to mention the figure. It's all about playing rhythmic gymnastics, if you can't do it, then it's not looking for a draw on the field, it's just giving the judges eye medicine.
"You are all crooked melons and bad dates in your dormitory," Zhang Ru said with a smile.
Now the people in the two dormitories of Mei Qinrui and Lu Xiancheng are quite close, even closer than Tong Yu's dormitory, maybe because of their personalities, these sports girls are quite generous and hearty. I talked to 625 and these boys, so Zhang Ru directly used crooked melons and bad dates to describe everyone.
"There are always three melons and two jujubes that are crooked, and there are no more than two melons," Lu Xiancheng said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone that was put aside rang, Lu Xiancheng put down the knife, wiped his hands on his apron, and walked over to pick up the phone and take a look.
found out that Zhu Zihua called, and thought it was about going to Australia to see horses a few days later, so he picked it up when he walked to the side.
"Xiancheng!"
"Hey, Brother Zihua, what's the matter!"
"The first is Australia's business, and the second is to wait for Australia to come back, and a few of us are preparing for the race, if you have time, count you as a ......," Zhu Zihua said.
Lu Xiancheng was a little dizzy when he heard the horse race, how could these guys think that one is one out. Horse racing is also decided by patting the butt, what is my one? Where do I get thoroughbreds now? Even if there are purebloods, where can I find a jockey right away?
"I don't even have a horse race here! Japan and the United States have horses, but they can't get out of the country if they get it," Lu Xiancheng complained on the other end of the phone.
China is an epidemic area in the world, and horses from Europe and the United States and other countries are not allowed to enter Europe and the United States after entering China, and can only be thrown in China.
Lu Xiancheng's horses in the United States and Japan are all first-class horses, although they are not sky-high horses. But Lao Lu knows that every horse is a good treasure, even if it is a breeding horse, it is a high standard, and it is a loss to take any horse and transport it to China.
When Zhu Zihua heard this, he immediately understood that this little brother was thinking about something, and immediately explained: "I'm talking about horse racing, did I tell you that it's a thoroughbred horse race?" We just have nothing to do and have fun together, there are no restrictions on the breed of horses, and the riders have to be on their own, we don't race against professional riders. All of their horses were ridden personally, and at most they were replaced by siblings. A daughter-in-law or something, not even a lover! If you want to participate for the first time, you will pay 100,000 yuan to make a bonus ......".
Hearing Zhu Zihua say this, two words suddenly popped out of Lu Xiancheng's mind: egg hurts!
These gang have two bad guys in their hands and have to do something when they are idle, and the so-called horse racing is probably a pastime that anyone bored to come up with.
Horse racing is horse racing, but if these people want to play with the feeling of winning or losing, they can't just find some random people.
Looking for your employees, you don't have a sense of accomplishment if you win, a bunch of sycophants mixed up in the politics of the subsidiary, it is estimated that you will win even if you give them a thousand miles of horses and ride a donkey yourself, who will not have eyes to make their boss unhappy?
Look for those who are too high-level, such as provincial and municipal leaders. That is purely to find trouble for yourself, serving others before and after the saddle. In this way, everyone is still playing a fart and going home directly.
You can't go down and you can't go up, so you can only find some 'right people' to play, so that everyone is happy to win, and it's nothing to lose.
"We started when we got back from Australia. Each person is limited to one horse at a time, and the rule is that any horse can be used, and the distance is about three or four thousand meters. The main thing, in addition to the horse, is that the owner of the horse is as personal as possible. Everyone is not interested in playing with other people's brothers, and as for mistresses and the like, everyone will turn their faces," Zhu Zihua said.
It doesn't matter if your wife or brother plays for you, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, even if these people are losers, everyone can accept it in front of you, but if I am with your mistress in the same race, it will be self-depreciation.
"I didn't get married, where is the mistress, you just take care of yourself," Lu Xiancheng said with a smile.
Although this meaning is a bit class-based and anachronistic, the origin of horse racing is about class, so horse racing was called an aristocratic sport in the beginning.
When horse racing began in Europe, it was a race between nobles and nobles, and the royal family generally raced with the royal family, and rarely brought people who were too much worse than their social status to play, and they fell! As for the civilians, it was even more impossible, and how could the civilians play with thoroughbreds at that time.
A group of European royal families are not happy to play by themselves, and from time to time they have to play with Arab royal families, especially the British Empire.
But almost every time the British royal family is disgraced, to put it mildly, and the British royal family is purely looking for a draw type when it comes to horse racing with Arabs.
At that time, the British royal family, or the European royal family, was no match for the Arab royal family, whether in horse breeding or breeding.
In the end, the British were in a hurry, and the British mated three Arabian and native mares, giving birth to a freak like a thoroughbred. The body was very strong, the four legs and body were as thin as hemp poles, and the hooves were small, and at that time it seemed that the thoroughbred horse was the animal of the horses, and it was also a strange and ugly livestock horse.
But after the British found out that this ugly horse behaved in a short distance, they directly flipped the table, and stopped playing with the Arabs for a few days and a few days, and narrowed the horses that were originally a few days away to less than three thousand meters, and now it was the turn of the Arabs to be dumbfounded, and the purebred Marab was not at all the opponent of this kind of livestock horse at a distance of one or two thousand meters.
In this way, with the prestige of the British Empire, speed racing based on this kind of livestock horse was promoted, and soon speed horse racing became popular, which gave rise to modern commercial horse racing.
As for why it can be promoted, it is very simple, the things played by the British Empire were fashionable at that time!
"Okay! Count me in!" Lu Xiancheng feels that his equestrian training is good these days, and his equestrian control is also a little mature, and he still goes to the horse race himself, so he is naturally very interested. (To be continued.) )
