On New Year’s Eve in 1938, Time Magazine ranked the top ten news figures of the year, but there were only nine people on the list at the 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 Sea Biscuit.
This horse was born in 1933. It is short and flawed-the knees are protruding and asymmetrical, and they are not straight enough. It is completely typical of a flawed body. This racehorse should be abandoned as soon as it is born. This is all Human consensus.
In this way, from birth to three years old, the sea biscuit has been living a hard life. It was treated as a bad horse from a horse racing family, sourcing, pulling, 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, Sea Biscuit began to participate in the National Horse Race. Then from the first step on the field, it began to sweep across the nation’s horse racing, the invincible player in the nation’s horse racing world, and won a full victory in ten important lottery races, and its annual income reached a record of 144,000 at the time. Dollars!
Especially on November 1, 1938, the match between Sea Biscuit and another bonus horse king "Navy Warlord" was even more legendary. After starting behind, it is incredible to win with the advantage of four positions!
The legend does not end. On February 14, 1939, an accident caused the suspensory ligament of the left front leg of the sea biscuit to rupture, so it is very likely that it can no longer participate in the competition.
Then on March 2, 1940, the 7-year-old sea biscuit suddenly returned. And the last time it challenged it has not been able to conquer the event: Santa Anita 100,000 prize money tournament.
Everyone thought that this old horse was just going to a friendship race, to draw an end to his career, but the final result of the race shocked the entire United States: the sea biscuit ran the best result in the history of the Santa Anita competition, the American horse racing The second best result in history. And broke the world record.
Famous writer Julie Roger immediately wrote in his column after watching the game: “How lucky I am to live to see this day.”
Since then, the name Sea Biscuit has always represented the indomitable spirit in North America. Represents perseverance and perseverance, and represents the unyielding belief.
Qin Shiou was shocked when he first heard of this incident. This is not chicken soup for the soul. This is a true legend. The name of his car after such a legend also represents Powell’s expectations for himself.
He wants to become a legend in the racing world!
Qin Shiou patted Powell on the shoulder and said: "This is a good name, come on, man. Don't let the sea biscuit be ashamed!"
Then he taught Powell how to control the ATV, allowing him to try starting, accelerating and turning by himself, and initially mastered the skills of driving the car.
Auerbach stood on the beach, watching Qin Shiou patiently teach Powell to drive, with a smile on his face.
Early the next morning, Powell got up to wipe the sea biscuits clean, according to Qin Shiou’s teaching last night. He checked the brake cables, automatic hand brakes, fuel tanks, wheels, axles, etc., and went to breakfast only after there was no problem.
After breakfast, the four children have to go to the town to sell dumplings, and Qin Shiou takes Mao Weilong on a cruise.
After the cruise, Qin Shiou was going to take Mao Weilong to shoot fish in the afternoon. The two packed up, and Shaq directly took Ivorson to make preparations. This was not only for shooting fish, but also to have a barbecue party by the lake at night after shooting the fish.
Qin Shiou made lunch, but the four children did not come back for dinner. Father Hickson called. Said that the children would not go back and eat here.
After a nice nap, Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong drove a pickup truck to Shenbao Lake, and first arrived at the restaurant of Papa Hickson on the way.
Two o'clock in the afternoon. At the hottest time of the day, many people hide in the air-conditioned rooms to enjoy the cool. And beside Papa Hickson’s restaurant, four children with two puppies stood in the shade of the trees and looked at the pedestrians passing by.
Next to the restaurant are two tables. One table is equipped with an induction cooker, and the other table is equipped with condiments, packing boxes and the like. In addition, there is a paper shell that is supported and written in Chinese and English. One line: Chinese authentic dumplings, delicious and inexpensive.
Qin Shiou stopped the car across the street and looked at the children.
There have been no pedestrians on the road, not to mention the customers who are eating. After a while, Father Hickson opened the door and said to the four children: "Come in, dear boy, there are no guests out for dinner now. You will continue to sell in the evening. Okay?"
Boris said to the other three people: "You go in, if there are guests, I will call you."
Gordon nodded to leave, Shirley, who was holding the small cash box, looked at him angrily, and said, "Gordon, you traitor! Can't you even stand this bit of pain?"
Michelle also yelled at him: "You can't even compare to Little Tiger and Little Leopard! Gordon, I despise you."
Hearing this, Gordon blushed and stood dingy to the back, wiping the sweat off his face with his clothes. Huzi and Leopard stick their tongues out and breathe hard, tilt their heads to look at Gordon, as if they also despise them.
Shirley walked over to Daddy Hickson and said sweetly: "Daddy, thank you for your invitation. We are not tired or hot. Just wait outside. Maybe someone is eating now? You know, the weather. It’s hot, some people have no appetite at noon."
Qin Shiou watched this scene quietly. Father Hickson persuaded him for a while, but it was useless, so he had to shake his head and return to the restaurant. The four stubborn children stayed outside. Of course, there were two stubborn pull Brad Retriever.
"These four children have species." Mao Weilong said, "There are more species than my elder nephew at home!"
Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Do you have any seeds?"
Mao Weilong proudly said: "What do you mean? Beijing gentlemen, there are not only seeds, but also very hard seeds..."
"Very good." Qin Shiou smiled comfortedly. He took Mao Weilong out of the car and walked out and said to Shirley, "Prepare four dumplings for me, two with bighead fish meat and two with vegetables and shrimps."
Seeing Qin Shiou, Huzi and Leopard flicked their ears and jumped up happily together. As a result, they spit out their tongues longer and gasped more severely after running over.
Shirley four also cheered, and Powell asked: "Qin, have you not eaten? Are you still hungry?"
Working in sin, before Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong went fishing, they were worried about dehydration during exercise, so they drank juice and ice water at home.
In this way, Qin Shiou touched his bulging belly, and said, “Yes, St. John’s food is not delicious, we didn’t have a meal and came back. Isn’t it, Uncle Mao?”
The last few words, his tone is extraordinarily strong.
Mao Weilong realized that he had been calculated. He smiled more ugly than crying, nodded and said: "Yeah, I'm so hungry, I want to eat two!"
"You can eat three servings when you are hungry." Qin Shiou looked at him pretendingly in surprise, "Uncle Mao, are they not making dumplings to your taste, so you only have two servings?"
Shirley looked at him nervously with big watery eyes, and Mao Weilong swallowed with difficulty, and said: "Of course not, haha, I'll just preheat two copies first, so, three copies, Shirley and Gordon, The dumplings made by Michelle must be delicious!"
In this way, Powell ran into the restaurant happily and put their dumplings in Father Hickson’s refrigerator.
Five copies of dumplings came out soon, 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 hot belly, this can kill people.
The four of Shirley 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, and Shirley used a fork to put a blow, and sent it to Qin Shiou's mouth.
Qin Shiou swallowed it, stroking Shirley’s hair while chewing, and said vaguely: "What a good boy, Shirley, um, it's delicious, it tastes great."
Papa Hickson swallowed his mouth while watching, and finally couldn’t bear to turn around and went to the kitchen, muttering: “Fortunately, I haven’t been married and have no children in my life. It’s terrible.”
Qin Shiou couldn't eat anymore. The hot day had no appetite, not to mention they had a drink in St. John's.
He couldn't eat it himself, Qin Shiou started to make bad ideas. He looked at Mao Weilong, ah, this grandson is worse than himself now. There are three dumplings in front of him. Then he looked at the tiger and the leopard.
The Labrador, who has always been well-behaved and obedient, also decayed. The two little guys found the air-conditioning port and lay on the ground. Seeing Qin Shiou turning his head, with a sharp heart, they rolled over together, exposing the bulging belly.
"It's all the goods that dropped the chain at a critical time." Qin Shiou mumbled, he thought about it, um, he has an idea.
"Boris, pack our dumplings. We have to go to the lake to shoot fish. We will shoot fish and eat later. Now it is the best time to shoot fish at noon." Qin Shiou said, "Shirley, come, check out, five dumplings. How much is it?"
Gordon stunned his head and said, “It’s too hot now, Qin, how can I shoot fish? I’ll get heat stroke.”
Qin Shiou had nothing to say for a while. Indeed, how can shooting fish shoot in the sun at noon?
Mao Weilong smiled kindly: "Uncle Mao wants to lose weight, so he has to shoot fish at noon, so he sweats a lot."
The children nodded suddenly, and Qin Shiou gave him a thumbs up quietly, and said, "Why are you so clever? Praise for your cleverness."
Shirley didn’t check out, Qin Shiou smiled and said: “We eat your dumplings, and of course we have to give you money, because this is business-family affection is family affection, business is business."
Papa Hickson also nodded: "Yes, children, remember this sentence, business is business and has nothing to do with others."
Qin Shiou gave Shirley ten yuan, two yuan for a dumpling, which was very cheap. (To be continued~^~)
