Chapter 38: "White Dragon Horse" Wins the Championship
Matoya's royal embroidery works are very famous in the Peacock Ping grassland area, and they were snapped up by local women who knew the goods before they could be bought by tourists from other places. The natural joy of the purchase, comparing each other with which one is better looking, which one is really well embroidered, and praising again and again, envy and jealousy but no hate. I couldn't buy it, and I didn't want to leave, admiring other people's works, and quietly agreed with Toya: I must keep one for myself next time, and I have long wanted to change the curtain at home......
Toya's dairy sales are also not a problem, and there are special "second-way dealers". Their eyesight, sense of touch and smell are very good, and they can even tell whose dairy products are good and whose ones are bad with a glance. Because Toya does not adulterate and does not reduce materials, the products made are naturally popular. But she was stubborn and couldn't get used to the hawkers lowering the purchase price to make herdsmen's money, so she set the price quite high.
No matter how hard the hawker cuts down, Toya will never budge. There was no way, because the things were good, and the vendors had to pay a high price. Of course, this shrewd vendor would not have sold it at Naadam's scene, but would have taken it to the city and sold it to the "rich man", and it was estimated that the price would be higher.
Everything was quickly delivered, much to Toya's delight. She came to the snack sales area, chose roasted sweet potatoes for her mother and Dong Jing, and bought drinks and lamb skewers for her three children, and happily went to find everyone.
As soon as they see the delicious food, the children are even more happy. Lamb skewers are drinks, which are the most characteristic delicacy in the grassland. After only a while, he was swept away by three boys.

A lot of the matches were exciting, but Toya and Asgen didn't seem to them to be boring, because their minds were only on the white horse - and this time the Naadam mother and son had a very clear goal.
When you are anxious and anxious, the most talked-about horse racing is about to begin. The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic, and even the tweeters were louder than just now!
Naadam horses are generally divided into 30 km long distance, 15 km stallions, 10 km four-year-olds, 5 km two-year-olds and other events. The 30-kilometer front is too long and not intense, and the 5-kilometer is too short to look at, and everyone's favorite is the 10-kilometer race. And the white horse happens to be in this group.
The 10 km speed horse race has begun!
"White Dragon Horse - come on! White Dragon Horse - Come on! White Dragon Horse—"
Asgen and Xiaoshan and Xiaoling shouted the most happily!
"White Dragon Horse" is the name given to the white horse by the three little guys of Asgen on the impromptu basis. In the Peacock Ping grassland, excellent horses generally have loud names, such as "chasing clouds", and horses have good names. The white horse has never had a name, and the three of them sat in the car on the way to give it this name, which was inspired by the "Journey to the West" played on TV.
The shout of "Come on, White Dragon Horse" attracted a lot of viewers, and everyone thought the name was quite interesting. Some people also jokingly said, "Is it Tang Seng who is riding a horse?", and another replied, "If it's Sun Wukong, it will be faster", which made Toya can't help but want to laugh.
On the last lap, Hakuba was still a little behind. Bai Baozhu, the secretary of the Gacha branch in the stands, was so anxious that he stood up, but he couldn't do it if he had the strength.
The herdsmen in the audience hall shouted loudly: White Dragon Horse - come on! Double Happiness - Come on! Sarentai – Come on!
The rider Shuangxi is naturally anxious, and he can't wait to "pass" all his "skills" to the white horse to help it with the power of its four hooves. It's a sprint! Double Happiness suddenly exerted his legs, and the white horse suddenly accelerated!
"White Dragon Horse - come on! White Dragon Horse—" The three little ones were all about to burst their voices.
The white dragon horse seems to be flying! Sure enough, it lived up to expectations, and "One Horse Elected" won the first place in this level of competition!
The three friends hugged each other happily!
Bai Baozhu in the stands was even more smiling!
The news of the White Horse's victory was passed on to Aginai as soon as possible. He couldn't wait on the hillside for a long time, and as soon as he received a call from Toya, he was so excited that he ran down the hillside.
The big black dog "Hari" ran wildly after his master, scattering and closing the flock of sheep that were quietly grazing......
…………
Taoglas Suminadam is not just for one day. Some herders living far away from their homes have set up simple yurts or tents on the hillside of the site, either cooking their own meals or eating at the food stalls. At dusk, the day's athletics were over, and the Naadam scene was already surrounded by the smell of fragrant hands and meat. After a few glasses of spirits, the song flew out of his throat uncontrollably......
The Mongolian nation can sing and dance, and some people even say that Mongolians can "sing when they can talk, and they can dance when they walk", which is not an exaggeration. Singing and dancing, expressing the true temperament of the Peacock Ping grassland people.
Contestants will naturally receive preferential treatment from the stars, even if they don't go to the big hotel where the government of Taoglas Sumu is located, they will cook a large pot full of hand-handled meat, as well as lamb blood sausage and roast lamb leg on the grassland. Of course, hot and spicy soju is indispensable.
The horse race, which Toya and Dong Jing were most concerned about, was over, and the "White Dragon Horse" won the championship with all their might, so there was not much to worry about. The car rushed out of the alluring encirclement of the aroma of wine, meat, milk and tea, and began to return.
The carriage drove up a hill beam, and when I looked back at the Naadam field, several bonfires had been lit, and some people began to sing and dance around them. Toya knew that this night, there would be many sleepless people on the grassland.
…………
10km Speed Horse Racing Champion!
Hero's White Horse!
Heroic riders!
White Horse and Double Happiness became the absolute protagonists of the conversation of the Sarentai people that day, and they were treated like heroes. Everyone gave a thumbs up and praised the speed of the white horse and the riding skills of double happiness.
On the night of the race, Double Happiness and the other competitors were warmly invited to a banquet at a "luxurious" restaurant in the seat of government in Taoglas Sumu. "White Dragon Horse" also received special preferential treatment, with a special person in charge of daily life and diet, enjoying the tenderest grass and the best corn fodder. In the words of Bai Baozhu's branch secretary: If the white horse likes to eat hand-handled meat, we will kill the sheep. If it likes to eat dumplings, let's quickly chop the stuffing and wrap it......
When Toya and Dong Jing drove back from Naadam with the old man and children, the sky began to darken. There are many acquaintances on the road, and from time to time motorcycles and herdsmen on horseback pass by, so everyone is not afraid. Moreover, these three children feel quite novel, and finally have the experience of walking on the grassland at night, and they can boast when they are with other friends in the future.
Experience is capital. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, whether it's smooth or tortuous.
Asgen's cattle were blown at that time, and his "capital" was naturally the "white dragon horse" in his mind.
