Chapter 196: Piggy Auction
Waiting for the mayor to finish the award, Ju An was ready to get up and walk, who knew that as soon as his butt left the seat, he turned his head and found that everyone had not yet left, so he had to sit down again.
I heard Mr. Mayor announce: "The next thing is going to be an auction of piglets!" Now read out the piglets who are interested in participating in the auction". followed the mayor to read a list of lists, more than half of the more than 30 piglets were intended to be auctioned, and then began to start with the piglets that did not win the award, according to the size of the auction number, the same number was randomly selected, everyone didn't care about the order, the mayor made a temporary cameo as an auctioneer, and the piglets who wanted to be auctioned were sent to a table in front of the mayor.
Ju An walked down slightly, followed Dinah next to him to say a word, and when he turned his face, he found that the mayor had an extra small mallet in his hand: "Next, let's auction Miss Pig, Taylor is in a row!" Oh! Oh my God, this Miss Pig is so pretty, with a little guitar and a shiny performance costume, I think it's prettier than Taylor's real life, dear, have you noticed this little pig?" After speaking, he pointed to the mayor's wife in the audience, and following the direction of the mayor's finger, Ju An saw the mayor's family, the mayor's parents and wife sitting under the stage with their three children, and saw the mayor pointing here, his wife smiled and shook her head.
Seeing his wife's expression, the mayor smiled and said to everyone, "Okay, it seems that my hope of buying it home has been dashed!" Whoever is interested in bringing this beautiful Miss Taylor home, and as to whether she can sing to you, oh! God, you still want to buy a real Taylor for dozens of dollars, this beautiful Miss Taylor starts at thirty-five dollars, notice no, thirty-five dollars is not even enough to listen to Miss Taylor's concert tickets! Now for thirty-five dollars you can actually have a Miss Taylor." There was a burst of laughter from below, and then someone raised their hands.
After three or five price increases, each time only by five or ten dollars, the mayor of the town struck a small wooden hammer, and the Miss Taylor sold for more than fifty dollars.
Seeing this, Ju An turned his head and asked Dinah: "Are you still full of enthusiasm, this little pig is bought back as a pet?" Or did you grow up to eat meat? ”。
Dinah explained with a smile: "Some are bought back as pets, and more are bought back by the farmer to fatten and then sold, generally speaking, the piglets with the rank in front of them may be bigger as pets, and the latter ones are generally bought back by the farmers, why do you want to buy a piglet as a pet, just to give Teddy a few guys a companion."
Ju An listened to Dinah's words and shook his head: "It's okay to be a pet, several guys in the family eat meat, even Wu Song makes a meat strip to eat from time to time, this guy is very hungry on the day he was raised together, and a few guys estimate that the first thing to eat is a piglet" After speaking, I thought in my heart: This family has a pig as a pet, how much it should be human, and when it grows up, it is not one or two hundred catties of fat, this really can't be had, there is no problem with eating meat, the key is that there are already a few big pigs in the family, Relying on his own estimates, he can eat almost one head a year, but there is no way that the most eaten by a group of old American and old Chilean cowboys in the ranch is beef and mutton, and they are not so fond of pork.
More than a dozen piglets were auctioned in a row, and the mayor of the town in the middle gags mobilized the atmosphere in the field, and Ju An looked at it below and thought: Hey! It's not easy to be a mayor on Lao Mei's side, you have to steal the limelight for something, and it's hard to show that if you don't have someone to choose you next time, you're also responsible for entertaining the public.
One of the little pigs was carried to the stage when there was a problem, this little guy took a fancy to the small mallet in the mayor's hand, took advantage of the mayor's bidding to put the mallet into his mouth, lay on the platform and gnawed up, and when the mayor snatched the mallet back from the pig's mouth, he took the mallet and made a gesture of shaking his hand, which means that the mallet was bitten by the piglet's hand of saliva. The audience below also joined in.
In the end, the auction was the first name of the piglet, which was the pig Keham, the most expensive to sell for more than a hundred dollars, and the rest were about dozens of dollars.
When he got back into the car and drove to Dinah's farm, Ju An asked in the car, "Is this pig festival held every year?" ”。
Marcos smiled and explained: "I don't know if it's fixed today, it's fixed on the first Sunday of March every year, this is fixed, why are you going to bring the piglets from the ranch to the competition next year?" ”。
Ju An shook his head and said with a smile: "My pigs haven't given birth to piglets yet, if there is a suitable one, I want to come and play!" ”。
"Actually, this game is just to watch a fun, the main thing is to train the pig to let it know that there is food at the end of the bar, we also train when we are free, others are almost trained like this, the key is to look at the luck on the field, if the pig is not attracted by something else, it can generally win" Melina said with a smile.
"If no one informs him next year, maybe he won't remember the Pig Run at all, and he missed the last Groundhog Day on February 2," Dinah said with a smile.
"And the Groundhog Festival" Ju An scratched his head: how does this guy feel that it is a festival all year round, and this groundhog who only knows that there is a festival in the ground?
"Every year on the second day of February, the mayor will take everyone to the field to find a marmot nest, and then dig out the marmot to see if the marmot is happy, if the marmot is very happy after being woken up, it means that spring has arrived. It's also called the Groundhog Lunar New Year," Dinah explained to Juan with a smile.
"At that time, weren't you busy going back to China for the Spring Festival, waiting to see it next year, anyway, every year, you can't run," Ju An said with a smile.
The four of them chatted like this, and then returned to Dinah's farm, stopped the car, Ju An followed into the house, drank a cup of coffee, and then picked up Dinah and drove in the direction of his ranch.
As soon as Dinah arrived at the ranch, she was warmly welcomed by the little ones, as if they had been separated for two or three days as if they had been separated for several years, and Teddy had grown up since this time, and now he could hug Ju'an's thighs when he stood up, and the mountain lion brothers had grown into a big cat and became more and more naughty, and now he climbed up the tree and slid smoothly, and when he was fine, he climbed on the tree behind the house to scare the little squirrel to play, and as for the fox family, when he saw someone, he sneakily hid under the steps, and Dinah couldn't feed it. No one cares except for being close to Ju An, Wu Song continues to be cool, either holding a food in his hand, or dragging a small branch, always ready to educate a few little guys, and he is a strict brother.
As for the few wolf cubs in the Ju'an space, they have grown very tall, in the end, they are raised in the space and are now slightly shorter than the cattle dogs in the pasture, and they are not as long as the ordinary wolf legs observed by Ju'an, the legs of the three little wolf cubs are particularly thick, and the head is wider than the wolf outside, unlike the wolf in the mountains outside, the mouth is relatively long, and the body is relatively light. The whole from the jaw to the upper part of the front legs is covered with thick fluff, which looks a little funny as if a thick scarf, and now the relationship between the three little guys and Ju'an has also improved, and they don't stretch out their mouths to Ju'an, especially the youngest one, who is very dependent on Ju'an, and likes to circle around Ju'an when he sees Ju'an. Now the three little ones have eaten meat, and because they want to put it back in the mountains, Ju'an does not feed cooked meat like the rest of the little things in the pasture, and the three little wolf cubs eat raw meat. Seeing that the three cubs were almost grown, Ju An was ready to find an opportunity to release them into the mountains after feeding them for a few days.
Ju An put Dinah's bag in the upstairs bedroom, this bag is heavy today, and I don't know what Dinah put in it.
After dinner, packed up and took care of a few little guys, the two of them sat on the bed and Ju An found that Dinah had a few cello books in her bag, and watched Dinah put a few books on the bed, Ju An asked: "Why do you still have this kind of cello book, what's the use of just having books, you don't even have a piano."
"I used to learn cello in school for a while when I was in middle school, and I liked it very much, but sitting there was too boring for me, a little girl who played soccer as a child, and I found these books when I was sorting out the books a few days ago, and I took them to the next few pages, and it was very interesting to think about them at that time, the school orchestra," Dinah explains with a smile.
Ju An raised his eyebrows: "This is not good, I heard who said such a sentence: that is, if a person always remembers the things of the past, he will be old, we are only in our twenties, it is the age of flowers to think about what to do, it seems that the ranch has nothing to do for a little more time, and after a while, let's travel, your task now is to pick a place, anywhere!" ”。 After saying that, Juan closed the book in Dinah's hand.
As soon as she heard about tourism, Dinah came to the spirit: "Then let's go to Germany to see, the two countries I want to go to the most over the years are one is China, the other is Germany, and when we find a time to travel to Germany, my father always said how beautiful the scenery was when my grandfather took my father to Germany, I have never been there, my grandfather's hometown has produced a great figure, you Chinese must know Karl Marx."
"Oh! It turns out that our Dina and Comrade Lao Ma are still fellow countrymen, disrespectful and disrespectful! Ju Anlang made a gesture that made Dinah laugh. Then followed Ju An and started the relationship: "So I am also half of Comrade Lao Ma's fellow countryman, and this is related to the revolutionary mentor."
Then he said to Dinah, "That's fine! After a while, when the weather is not so cold, we will go to Germany for a walk, and by the way, Paris, London, and also go for a walk." Ju An waved his hand and said very imposingly.
