American Ranch

Chapter 135

When he arrived in Augusta, Qin Yi found that there were indeed more pedestrians on the street than usual, dragging their families along, playing and walking all the way to the competition field near the livestock market.

Crowds gather here, and there are various means of transportation. Qin Yi took a closer look and saw horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, tractors, pickups, etc. What was even more bizarre was an old white man driving a four-wheeled motorcycle. Pulling the cartoon train, there are a few boys and girls sitting in it, lining up for a long time!

Seeing this strange motorcycle train, everyone couldn't help but look at it more, and they couldn't help saying a few words happily, and even those who were familiar with the old man laughed and joked.The children on the train don't care about it, they sit on the novelty train and enjoy the admiration of everyone!
Not to mention, the adults were just watching, and the other children were envious. Angel and Becky also stared at it with wide eyes, as if they wanted to sit on it and try it.

"Okay, girls, uncle will buy one another day, and take you to play." Qin Yi coaxed the two little girls to smile, hugged his head and kissed him.

Walker and Ryan knew a lot of people, and Qin Yi was somewhat of a celebrity in Augusta, so many people greeted them along the way, and a few of them greeted each other cheerfully, which made both parties very happy.

A few people drove the bullock carts and walked slowly with the crowd. After a while, they arrived at the arena, found a place to park the bullock carts, and Qin Yi began to observe the venue.This is the small square in front of the livestock market. It has been properly arranged at this time. There is a [-]-meter-long runway in the middle of the square, which is [-] meters wide. Ten calves will participate in each round of the group competition, and the top two will advance to the next round. .

At this time, both sides of the track were already crowded with people. The adults gathered together in twos and threes to chat and laugh, and the children gathered in groups, discussing which calf was good-looking and strong. Qin Yi roughly judged that there were around 3000 calves around the entire arena. People accounted for [-]% of the residents of Augusta town!
You can also see a few small town policemen patrolling, but the less than ten policemen are insignificant compared to the two 3000 people. Fortunately, everyone is very disciplined, and the scene is lively but not chaotic. And there are also some spontaneous people who help maintain order, so that the work of the police officers is not as hectic as imagined.

Su Sa and other women were watching with their two children. Qin Yi and the three greeted the familiar and unfamiliar people, and led the calf to the pre-match preparation area to draw numbers for the upcoming game. Determine the Mavericks' order of play.

Qin Yi imitated Walker and Ryan, patted the calf's neck, touched the cow's face, and whispered some words of encouragement and comfort, whether he could understand or not, this attitude made the calf relax a lot, who had never seen such a big scene.It's just that Qin Yi led the two cows, Xiao Hua Niu and Xiao Hei Niu, and his work was twice as much as that of others!
At this time, the mayor Marcus came over with a middle-aged police officer. Marcus greeted everyone along the way, making a small joke from time to time, or teasing a certain calf in the competition, showing good communication skills.

The two came straight to Qin Yi's side. Qin Yi looked at Walker and Ryan suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.

"Don't worry, Yi, that's Gerald, the sheriff of the town, who should have come to meet you." Walker patted Qin Yi on the shoulder and explained.

Qin Yi wasn't worried, but he was a little confused. After hearing Walker's words, he understood a little. The sheriff should have asked Marcus to be his introducer, so he came to get to know him.He has always been honest and honest, so naturally he has no chance to deal with the police and officials. He knew two police officers before, but unfortunately they were still in Great Falls.

"Aha, Yi, you are here to participate in the competition too! I asked Ryan about this before, it seems that Ryan told you." Marcus smiled and walked up to shake hands with Qin Yi.

"Yes, such a game is very interesting."

Marcus was very happy to hear Qin Yi's words. It's interesting. Although this competition is a tradition, he organized it for the past two years. At least it shows that he, a mayor who has not received much actual benefits, still has some ability!
"Yi, let me introduce you, this is the sheriff of the town, Sheriff Gerald."

Qin Yi smiled and looked at Gerald, who immediately said with a smile: "Hello, Yi, all the police officers in our town are committed to safeguarding everyone's legal rights and interests, and everyone's supervision is welcome!"

"Hello, Sergeant Gerald, I believe the police officers will definitely protect the safety of the town." Qin Yi complimented, and he understood what the other party meant, and he was expressing his opinion to himself, a somewhat valuable rancher ?
I heard that in Laomei, the sheriff will increase the protection of the rich in the jurisdiction, and immediately pinch out any signs of threatening the legitimate rights and interests of the rich, because the rich have various relationships. Building a good relationship with the rich is very important, whether it is promotion or maintaining stability in the jurisdiction.

Qin Yi is very satisfied with Gerald's attitude, and he can avoid some troubles in the future. Gerald is naturally very happy with Qin Yi's words. Their work has to be affirmed by the ranchers who have come to the town to talk. light thing.

Qin Yi saw that everyone was competing with one calf, and he was the only one who led two. He didn't know if it was allowed, "Marcus, can everyone only have one calf in the competition?"

Marcus glanced at the two calves led by Qin Yi, and explained with a smile: "That's not true. There are no rules in this competition. The only rule is calves under 6 months old. It's just that everyone is used to bringing a cow to the competition. It doesn't matter if you have two cows here, when the numbers are drawn, just register other people's names."

Qin Yi thought about it, this idea is good, the calf who was originally two girls happened to be registered under the names of Angel and Becky.

The two sides chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was very pleasant, but the game was about to start, Marcus had to go to organize the scene, and Gerrard had to command the 7 or 8 police officers under him to maintain order in the field, so they all left opened.Qin Yi followed Walker and Ryan to the stage to draw numbers. Angel's Little Hei Niu was in the fifth group, and Becky's Little Hua Niu was in the seventh group. Among the ten groups in total, the ranking was pretty good.

At about the same time, 8 referees came on stage, causing the crowd to burst into laughter. Qin Yi glanced at the referees and couldn't help laughing, because the 8 referees were all children, and the youngest was probably only 2 or 3 years old. Biting a lollipop, looking around curiously, the oldest is only 8 or 9 years old, grinning, revealing one missing front tooth!
Qin Yi finally understood, no wonder the match was just for fun, even the referee was so casual, how could the match not become an ode to joy!

Walker and Ryan also laughed, but there was no surprise on their faces. It seemed that they had expected it a long time ago.Sure enough, Ryan looked at the cheerful Qin Yi and explained, "You see, Yi, this competition is for everyone to get together and have fun, it's very casual!"

Qin Yi nodded, looked at the 8 children in the referee seat who were either smiling or sitting down seriously, thinking that the game was about to start.After a while, Marcus took the stage to speak, and the residents in the audience quieted down, giving Marcus the respect he deserved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our annual 'Maverick Run' competition in Augusta is about to begin. This year, we will select the fastest calf of the year under the witness of eight qualified judges. Niu! But look at our contestants, wow, they are all strong calves, it seems that if we want to decide the winner, we will have to go through some fierce competition!"

Marcus danced and danced on the stage, jumping and spitting, and everyone in the audience felt that their ears were being bombarded, hoping that this old guy would go down quickly. They didn't come to see this old Marcus Guy spit on stage!

"Well, the last sentence, our competition will be videotaped and photographed by our most professional photographer." Marcus pointed to a few elementary school students holding DVs and Polaroids under the stage, and the children immediately turned to everyone Waving hands showed that they were the most professional photographers in the legend, and made everyone laugh out loud!

"After the game is over, we will upload it to the Internet. If *** sees it, maybe he will look forward to us inviting him to be the referee next year! Haha, ok, ok, the game has officially started!"

The crowd immediately cheered, and they didn't know whether it was to show Marcus face, or to celebrate that the long-awaited game was finally about to start!
