Chapter 245: Rodeo Festival (8)
After swiping the card in the grocery store of Old Lyme, the fierce bull asked Mr. Peng with a smile on his face, asking if there would be a baby ginseng in the future, and whether Mr. Peng would be willing to continue to buy a large number of them here.
Old Man Peng nodded immediately and said that he was willing to buy it for a long time.
When Mr. Peng opened a store in Los Angeles before, he couldn't necessarily buy wild American ginseng in this condition, and the purchase price tripled! The wild American ginseng produced by the brown bear tribe is so cheap, of course he has as much as he wants. Even if he doesn't sell it, he can make all kinds of pills, or make a soup or ginseng tea in his daily life, as a daily health care product to regulate his body.
Besides, this thing is not a big turnip, it can grow out of the ground in a few months!
Generally, American ginseng of medium or above quality must grow in the ground for at least six or seven years. Especially this is still wild American ginseng, no matter how much there is in the mountain, it is also digging one less one!
Therefore, Mr. Peng and Fierce Bull hit it off, and the two agreed on a verbal agreement for long-term supply!
The bull has made such a big deal and opened a long-term channel for the future sales of the entire tribe, and he is about to smile with joy on his face.
He beckoned to the coyote, and then the two burly Indian men helped Pei Pei and the others carry all the things they had bought all the way to the parking lot in the center of the town square, and then enthusiastically helped to load all the burlap bags into the trunk of Pei Pei's red Wrangler.
After that, the fierce bull was not busy leaving. Instead, she warmly invited Pei Pei and her family to visit the brown bear tribe in early November.
Every year at the beginning of November, the Brown Bear Tribe holds a traditional event to celebrate the harvest. Like Thanksgiving, it is one of the oldest traditions of North American Indians.
The bull really hoped that Pei Pei and the others would take time out to visit their brown bear tribe again.
In the days after October 26th, she had to take the Triple Crown to Santa Monica for the annual Breeders' Cup. Therefore, emotionally, she really wanted to accept the invitation of the fierce bull, but in terms of time, she didn't know if she would be able to come back in time to participate.
So, she explained her concerns to Fierce Bull. At the same time, he also said. If you can get in time. She will definitely rush back to Big Wood Town, and look for the grocery store Old Lyme to take her and visit the Brown Bear Tribe again.
The bull understood Pei Pei's concerns, and he told him that the harvest celebrations of their brown bear tribe generally did not have a fixed date. Rather, it is based on the days when the crops planted in the spring are officially harvested. The day after the crops are harvested and put into the barn. It is the annual harvest celebration of the tribe. When the time comes, the men, women, and children of the tribe will sing and dance, and slaughter cattle and sheep. Celebrating a good harvest this year!
Austin listened with great interest, he counted the dates, and then reminded Peipei: "The Triple Crown is a two-year-old race, and in previous years, two-year-old races at all levels were usually held in the first few days after the start of the race, and the event was mostly split into three days. From October 26th to the 31st of the month, there are six days, not to mention the two-year-old races at all levels, and the entire 'Breeders' Cup is only a week from the opening to the closing! After the race, don't you have to transport the Triple Crown back to Koizumi Villa, and you will definitely be in time for the harvest celebration of the Brown Bear Tribe. ”
Pei Pei glanced sideways at her husband and chuckled, "Do you guys really want to see and learn, that's why you're so active?" ”
Austin graciously admits, "Yes, I've been interested in it since the last time I heard you tell me about your hike in the Rocky Mountains and your fun two-day and one-night trip to the Brown Bear Tribe." Also, when I was in college, I would put on my tent and participate in all kinds of wild adventures during the holidays! I've kept this habit to this day, and every year for the past few years, I've given myself a vacation and signed up for various trekking adventures and polar expeditions. ”
Speaking of this, Austin looked sideways at his wife, smiled and said, "Since we can catch up in time, and this Mr. Deputy Chief has invited us so warmly, we might as well add another wild mountain adventure to this guest plan, what do you think?" ”
Pei Pei shrugged her shoulders and replied with a smile: "Okay, I originally thought that even if I was in time, I would only visit by myself, but since you are willing to leave your busy work plan behind to accompany me, I will not be stupid enough to refuse!" ”
As she spoke, she turned to the fierce bull and smiled, "Then it's decided!" We should be back in Big Wood around November 2nd, and I'll go to Old Lyme and ask him to take us to your brown bear tribe again!" ”
After agreeing on a plan to be a guest with the bull, everyone waved goodbye to each other, and then the three of them continued to wait in the parking lot.
Calculating the time, Joey should have already set off from the cottage with the cowboys in the villa, and it was almost five minutes before the agreed meeting time.
Pei Pei guessed that they should have encountered a crowd of people on the way into town, so they were late.
After waiting for about three to five minutes, Joey's pickup truck finally appeared.
Before the pickup truck could stop, Danny and the other four cowboys couldn't wait to jump out of the open car behind the pickup truck.
Danny walked up to Pei Pei with four cowboys and complained casually: "I knew that the road to the town would be so blocked, so we might as well come on horseback." At that time, you will be able to sign up and participate in a few events temporarily! ”
At this time, the pickup truck had been safely parked in the parking space. Danny's wife, Elena, opened the car door and got out of the pickup truck, just in time to hear her husband's whining.
After she laughed, she opened her mouth to reveal her husband's careful thoughts: "Before Joey went out, I asked you if you wanted to come by riding a horse by yourself, do you remember what you said back at that time?" ”
said. She turned her head to look at Pei Pei and continued, "This guy only started to complain and regret why he didn't ride here after he called Duke after he set off and learned about the boss that you gave extra bonuses to the top three! ”
Elena laughed as she spoke: "Before last year's Stampede Festival, old Bieber asked him if he wanted to sign up for the competition, guess what he answered at the time? ”
Pei Pei looked at Elena curiously, waiting for her answer.
Danny pulled his wife's arm in embarrassment, motioning for her to stop talking.
Elena glanced at her husband, then shook her arm, walked to Pei Pei's side, and whispered to the boss with a narrow smile: "This guy was bargaining with the old Bieber at the time: 'The first place in each event is only three hundred dollars!'" This bonus rule has been in place for more than a decade. Prices are rising every year. Why can't this bonus go up with it? He choked up old Bieber so much that he didn't want to talk to him more, so he hung up the phone directly! ”
"Hahahaha" said this, and Elena herself couldn't help but laugh.
"Flutter", Pei Pei also covered her mouth and laughed.
"So," Elena stopped laughing. Deliberately glanced at her embarrassed husband. Then he continued: "This guy of him heard that you gave Duke an extra bonus of two thousand dollars in the morning. Regret dying! Along the way, there were constant complaints about why Duke hadn't informed him sooner so he could ride over and sign up for the afternoon's races. ”
At this time, Joey and Lorna have also gotten out of the car.
Joey walked over to his cousin. patted him on the shoulder, smiled and comforted: "Isn't there still tomorrow, you can go to Old Bieber to sign up for those events tomorrow!" I'm not young anymore, so I won't mix with you! ”
"That's what I was going to do on the road!" Danny said as he turned his head to look at the other cowboys next to him and asked, "What do you say?" Would you like to join me with Old Bieber to sign up for tomorrow's races? ”
The four cowboys next to him all nodded.
Joey raised his watch and looked at the time, reminding them: "There will be a cattle competition in forty minutes, you should go and sign up first, let's walk around here, and we will gather at the venue of the cattle competition in a while!" ”
Danny nodded, put his arms around his wife's shoulders with a smile, and then after the couple had a bit of a fuss, they walked away with the other four cowboys.
The rest of the people wandered along the stalls.
When they got to old Flarley's dart target stall and saw a lively crowd on the periphery of the stall, Joey's hands began to itch.
Especially when Joey heard that the boss had won two barrels of ale this morning, he squeezed his eyebrows and said to the big guy, where is the two barrels of ale enough? He's ready to go up and win another bucket back!
Even Austin's hands itched when he said this, and then, at the instigation of Joey, the two of them took out the money and squeezed into the crowd.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the two came back empty-handed.
"Haha, what about the prizes? Doesn't that mean two barrels of ale beer are not enough for you? Don't expect me to go up, I've already promised that old Flaray won't play again! Pei Pei clasped her hands to her chest and laughed loudly.
Austin touched his nose in embarrassment, then lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and then came up with a solution.
He took out three dollars from his pocket, stuffed them into Old Man Peng's hand, and begged with a smile: "Peng, among the few of us, except for Pehr, you are the only one who has the ability to win back the beer from Old Fraley's stall!" Help, it's a rare time! ”
Old Man Peng glanced down at the three dollar bills stuffed into his hand, then looked up at the flattering expression on his apprentice's face, and chuckled.
"Okay, but just once!" The old man nodded helplessly, then raised his feet and walked towards old Flarley's stall.
Austin and Joey immediately followed with a smile on their faces.
After more than ten minutes, Austin and Joey each held a barrel of beer in their hands, followed behind Old Man Peng with a smile, and the three of them walked back together.
"How are two barrels? Didn't Peng say that he only played once? Rhona asked curiously.
Pei Pei guessed the reason, she stretched her arm and stretched Austin, squeezed her eyebrows and asked, "You guy is very smart!" Knowing that my master's play must be the result of ten shots and ten hits, did you let old Flarey double the reward? ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Austin's eyes, and he replied with a smile: "Old Flarley is very shrewd, and as soon as he saw Peng standing in the position where the line was drawn, he immediately came to my side and greeted me with a request." After Peng's dart was over, he didn't say a word, and two barrels of beer honestly held it in front of us. ”
Pei Pei glanced at her husband amusedly, "You didn't win it, what are you proud of!" Hurry up, put these two beers back in the trunk of the car with Joey, and we'll not go with you, just wait for you to come back. ”
"Yes, wife!" Austin smiled and gave Pei Pei a light peck on the cheek, then turned to greet Joey, and the two walked back in the direction of the parking lot. (To be continued......)
