Golden Fishery

On New Year's Eve in 1938, the American "Time Magazine" selected the top ten news figures of the year, but there were only nine people on the list at that time, including Franklin Roosevelt, Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler.

The other one is not a person, but a horse. The name of this horse is Hai Biscuit.

This horse was born in 1933. It is short and has defects. The knees are protruding and asymmetrical, and it is not straight enough. people's consensus.

In this way, Hai Biscuit has been living a hard life from birth to three years old. Born in a horse racing family, he was treated as a bad horse, pulling goods, pulling mills, and doing a lot of hard work.

In 1936, a poor horse trainer named Tom Smith bought it. After a year of training, in 1937, Seabiscuit began to participate in the National Derby. Then from the first time it set foot on the field, it began to sweep all the horses in the United States, and it was invincible in the American horse racing field. It won a big victory in ten important prize money races, and its annual income reached a record of 144,000 at that time. Dollar!

Especially on November 1, 1938, the match between Haibiscuit and another bonus horse "Navy Warlord" was even more legendary. Unbelievably winning by four positions after falling behind at the start!

The saga didn't end when an accident on February 14, 1939 ruptured the suspensory ligament of Seabiscuit's left forearm, making it likely he would never race again.

Then on March 2, 1940, 7-year-old Sea Biscuit made a sudden comeback. And one last challenge to the event it had been unable to conquer: the Santa Anita $100,000 Stakes.

Everyone thought that this old horse was just going to a friendly competition to put an end to his career. But the final result of the race shocked the entire United States: Sea Biscuit ran the best result in the history of the Santa Anita Race and the second best result in the history of American horse racing. And broke the world record.

After watching the game, the famous writer Juli Roger immediately wrote in his column: "How lucky I am to be able to live to see this day."

Since then, the name of sea biscuit in North America has always represented the indomitable spirit, the tenacious character, and the unyielding belief.

When Qin Shiou heard about this for the first time, he was shocked. This is not chicken soup for the soul, but a real legend, and he used such a legend to name his racing car. It also represents Powell's expectations for himself.

He's going to be a legend in the racing world!

Qin Shiou patted Powell on the shoulder and said, "It's a good name,

Come on man, don't let the sea biscuit put you to shame! "

Then he taught Powell how to control the beach car, let him try to start, accelerate and turn, and initially mastered the skills of driving this car.

Standing on the beach, Auerbach watched Qin Shiou patiently teach Powell to drive with a smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Powell got up to wipe off the sea biscuits. According to Qin Shiou's teaching last night, he checked the brake lines, automatic handbrake, fuel tank, wheels, axles, etc., and went to breakfast after everything was fine.

After breakfast, the four children had to go to the town to sell dumplings. Qin Shiou took Mao Weilong out on a cruise.

After the cruise, Qin Shiou was going to take Mao Weilong to shoot fish in the afternoon, and the two packed their things. Shaq directly took Iverson to prepare first, which was not just about shooting fish. After shooting the fish, there will be a barbecue party by the lake in the evening.

Qin Shiou made lunch, but the four children didn't come back for dinner. Papa Hickson called and said that the children were not going back and were eating at his place.

After taking a nice nap, Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong drove the pickup truck to Shenbao Lake, and first stopped at Papa Xixon's restaurant on the way.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, it was the hottest time of the day. Many people hid in the air-conditioned room to enjoy the coolness. Next to Papa Hixon's restaurant, four children and two puppies stood in the shade and watched eagerly. Pedestrians coming and going.

There are two tables next to the restaurant. On one table is an induction cooker, and on the other table are condiments, packing boxes and other things. In addition, there is a propped up paper shell with Chinese characters and English written on it. One line: Huaxia authentic dumplings, delicious and inexpensive.

Qin Shiou stopped the car across the street and looked at the children.

There were no pedestrians on the road, let alone customers who were eating. After a while, Father Hixon opened the door and said to the four children: "Come in, good boy, there are no customers coming out to eat now. You can continue to sell in the evening." okay?"

Boris said to the other three people: "Go in, if there are guests, I will call you."

Gordon nodded and wanted to leave. Shirley, who was holding a small cash box, looked at him angrily, and said, "Gordon, you traitor! Can't you even bear this little pain?"

Michelle also yelled at him: "You can't even compare to Xiaohu and Xiaobao! Gordon, I look down on you."

Hearing this, Gordon blushed, and stood at the back in desperation, wiping the sweat off his face with his clothes. Huzi and Leopard stuck out their tongues and panted heavily, and looked at Gordon sideways, as if they also looked down upon him.

Shirley walked over to Papa Hixon and said sweetly: "Papa, thank you for your invitation. We are not tired or hot, so we will wait outside. Maybe someone is eating now? You know, the weather It’s hot, and some people have no appetite at noon.”

Qin Shiou watched this scene quietly, and Father Xixon tried to persuade him for a while, but it was useless, so he had to shake his head and go back to the restaurant. The four stubborn children stayed outside, and of course, there were two equally stubborn children Brad Retriever.

"These four children have kindness." Mao Weilong said, "much more than my eldest nephew!"

Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Do you have the guts?"

Mao Weilong proudly said: "What do you think? Men in the capital not only have seeds, they are also very hard..."

"Very good." Qin Shiou smiled gratifiedly. He took Mao Weilong out of the car and said to Shirley, "Prepare four dumplings for me. Two are stuffed with bighead carp and two are filled with vegetables and dried shrimp."

Seeing Qin Shiou, Huzi and Leopard flicked their ears and jumped up happily together. As a result, after running over, they stuck out their tongues longer and gasped even more.

The four of Shirley also cheered, and Powell asked, "Qin, haven't you eaten? Are you still hungry?"

What a crime, before Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong went fishing, they drank a lot of fruit juice and ice water at home for fear of dehydration.

In this way, Qin Shiou touched his swollen belly and said, "Yes, St. John's food is not delicious, and we didn't come back from eating. Isn't it, a very kind Uncle Mao?"

In the last few words, his tone was particularly heavy.

It was only then that Mao Weilong realized that he had been tricked. He showed a smile uglier than crying, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm so hungry, I want two servings!"

"You can eat three servings when you're hungry." Qin Shiou looked at him pretending to be surprised, "Uncle Mao, is it because the dumplings they made don't suit your taste, so you only eat two servings?"

Shirley looked at him nervously with big watery eyes, Mao Weilong swallowed with difficulty, and said, "Of course not, hehe, I'm just warming up with two copies first. In this way, three copies, Shirley and Gordon, The dumplings made by Michelle must be delicious!"

In this way, Powell happily ran into the restaurant, and their dumplings were placed in Papa Hixon's refrigerator.

Five servings of dumplings came out quickly, and Mao Weilong and Qin Shiou sat in the restaurant, staring at the plates of dumplings in a daze.

On a hot day, hot dumplings and a burning stomach can kill people.

The four of Xue Li looked at Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong expectantly, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you eat?"

"It's too hot." Qin Shiou smiled, Shirley blew on a fork, and brought it to Qin Shiou's mouth.

Qin Shiou swallowed it in one gulp, stroked Shirley's hair while chewing and said vaguely: "What a good boy, Shirley, um, delicious, the taste is awesome."

Papa Hixon swallowed his saliva watching from the sidelines, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned and went to the kitchen, muttering, "Fortunately, I haven't been married or had children in my life, it's really scary."

Qin Shiou really couldn't eat anymore. He had no appetite on a hot day, not to mention they were full of drinks in St. Johns.

Unable to eat it by himself, Qin Shiou began to have bad ideas. He looked at Mao Weilong, um, this grandson is worse than himself now. There are three dumplings in front of him. Then, he looked at Huzi and Leopard.

The Labrador, who has always been obedient and obedient, also failed. The two little guys found the air conditioner and lay down on the ground. Seeing Qin Shiou turning his head, they turned over together, exposing their bulging bellies.

"It's all the stuff that lost the chain at the critical moment." Qin Shiou muttered, he thought about it, um, he has an idea.

"Boris, pack our dumplings. We have to go to the lake to shoot fish. Let's eat while shooting fish. Now is the best time to shoot fish at noon." Qin Shiou said, "Shirley, come, pay the bill, five dumplings, How much?"

Gordon said in a daze: "It's too hot now, Qin, how do you shoot fish? You'll get heatstroke."

Qin Shiou was speechless for a moment, indeed, how could a fish shooter brave the sun at noon to shoot?

Mao Weilong smiled kindly: "Uncle Mao wants to lose weight, so he has to shoot fish at noon, so he can sweat more."

The children nodded suddenly, Qin Shiou quietly gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Why are you so clever? Praise for your cleverness."

Xueli didn't settle the bill, Qin Shiou said with a smile: "We eat your dumplings, of course we have to give you money, because this is business - family affection is family affection, and business is business."

Father Hixon also nodded and said: "Yes, children, remember this sentence, business is business, and it has nothing to do with others."

Qin Shiou gave Shirley ten yuan, two yuan for a dumpling, which is very cheap. (To be continued..)
