Lunch was a buffet at the club, including Korean barbecue and Japanese cuisine. In order to show my quality, the restaurant was very quiet during the meal, and there was no loud noise like toasting and changing glasses at the wine table.
Cai Dong and others finally saw Qin Feng, but looking for trouble in public would be laughed at. Cai Dong even took a glass of red wine and drank with Xie Dazhi and others, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Since the weather was relatively hot at noon, the dog fighting was not in its best condition.
So according to usual habits, after dinner, everyone either went to rest separately, or went to the golf course and swimming pool to play. The real dog fighting competition would not start until the sun was about to set, that is, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
After Qin Feng had eaten, he went to the dog farm to see rhubarb first. This guy had just eaten and lay lazily in the kennel unwilling to move. Qin Feng did not take it out and was dragged to watch a movie by Xie Xuan.
Already.
Qin Feng and Xie Xuan were the only two people in the huge screening room. They could also order the latest movies to watch, which was quite satisfying for them. They watched two games in succession. They didn't leave until the projectionist reminded them that the dog fight had started.
go out.
"Brother Feng, it's so fun. When we have money in the future, we will do something like this." Xie Xuan's face was full of excitement and he kept talking to Qin Feng.
The "Titanic" I just watched has original English subtitles. When Jack was sketching the body of Rose, he didn't delete some of the plot like in domestic screenings, but showed it as it was.
, Xie Xuan was very excited to see it.
Qin Feng nodded heavily and said: "Xuanzi, it will happen. In ten years, we will have all this in ten years!"
The family suffered changes when they were young. Qin Feng and his sister lived a very difficult life with extremely poor material resources. The food they received every day was just enough for the two of them to survive.
Although the living habits of many upper-class people were later instilled in Qin Feng, Qin Feng did not have an intuitive understanding of what that kind of life was like.
Qin Feng was a little shocked when he saw the racecourse swimming pool before. He just watched two movies in the manor, which made Qin Feng really excited. For Qin Feng a few years ago, this was like a fairy tale.
life.
"Ten years, then... then we are not yet thirty years old."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Xuan's eyes widened and he said: "Brother Feng, are you telling the truth? Otherwise... I ask dad for some money, and we buy some high imitation antiques and fakes to sell.
?”
"Xuanzi, you have to rely on yourself as a person. Only when you spend the money you earn can you feel comfortable."
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "In this society, there are many opportunities, don't be anxious. Only by learning how to be lonely can you be qualified to enjoy prosperity!"
In addition to looking for his parents and sister, Qin Feng has another motivation at this time, which is to make money. To create a better living environment for himself,
"Well, Brother Feng, I listen to you."
Although Xie Xuan didn't quite understand Qin Feng's words, he still nodded. He refused to ask for his parents' money back then. He and Li Tianyuan were barely picking up rags. It wasn't Qin Feng who saved the two brothers from the fire and water.
Hit.
"Qin Feng, Xuanzi, this way, come here..." As they talked, the two came to the dog farm. Wu Bing and Xie Dazhi, who were already waiting there, quickly waved them over.
"Uncle Xie, Uncle Wu, have you started?"
Qin Feng and Xie Xuan came closer. Although Qin Feng was familiar with the history of dog fighting, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was somewhat curious about the dog fighting ring.
The history of dog fighting is slightly later than that of cockfighting. It originated in the Song Dynasty. In the palaces of the Song Dynasty, these aggressive animals just catered to the mentality of the civil servants and generals who had just stopped fighting, so they started in the palace.
Their own entertainment...dog fighting.
At that time, dog fighting could only be regarded as a hobby enjoyed by the royal family. Whenever dog fighting started, they would always participate happily, and the betting amount once reached a hundred taels of gold.
For this reason, the imperial court set up officials specifically responsible for raising dogs, and these officials often had seventh-grade official titles. Qin Feng thought that this may be the origin of the term "dog official" in China.
In ancient times, there were no popular stars like these today. At that time, what common people liked to follow the most was the game in the palace, so dog fighting soon spread to the people and continues to this day.
Chang Xiangfeng's venue has a total of three dog fighting rings, and three games can be held at the same time.
Each dog fighting venue is slightly larger than a boxing ring, about twenty square meters, with carpets on the inside and a half-meter-high iron fence around it.
"No, there aren't many dogs here today. We may not be able to use three venues. There will be two scheduled "fixed venues" at one time, and the rest will just be bumper-to-bumper..."
Wu Bing seemed a little absent-minded when he answered Qin Feng's words. He brought the bit today, originally wanting it to play, but he was scared out of his wits by Qin Feng's rhubarb. It seems that today is in vain.
Now that I'm here, I can only take a gamble with others.
"Setting up the scene? This is a bit interesting."
Qin Feng knew that there were two betting methods in dog fighting, one was to set the scene, that is, if the two dog owners had better time and place, each would bring their own dogs to compete.
The requirement for setting the field is that the weight of the two dogs should be similar. One dog cannot be much heavier than the other. The lighter dog will suffer a lot in the competition. You know, just one pound heavier may have stronger endurance.
many.
As for the "fighting", each person brings his dog to the dog farm. There is no weight requirement. As long as both parties are willing, after agreeing on the bet amount, they can compete on the field.
"Relatively" speaking, when gambling and fighting occurs, there will often be many cases where the weak defeat the strong, which is more exciting than "fixed-field" fighting.
"Uncle Wu, how many dogs have come today?" Qin Feng asked casually when he saw Wu Bing's annoyed look.
"Eight of them are here. Apart from the two of you and me, there are six more..."
Wu Bing muttered angrily: "***, I didn't expect my dog to be so useless. Just now Lao Qi wanted to ask my dog to compete, but I turned him down."
In this circle, if you bring a dog just because you want to participate in the competition, rejecting other people's invitations is to a certain extent a sign of submission, and it will have a bad reputation if it spreads.
It's just that although the bitch is a softie, Wu Bing likes it very much and doesn't want to see it being bitten to death by other dogs in the dog park, so he has no choice but to shamelessly reject the game.
"Rejected? Is that Lao Qi's dog very powerful?" Qin Feng asked curiously: "Uncle Wu, what kind of dog did Lao Qi bring?"
"It's also Bit, Qin Feng. Here in Beijing and Tianjin, Bit is the most popular dog fighting dog. Occasionally, there are Tibetan Mastiffs, but they are relatively rare."
Wu Bing patiently explained to Qin Feng: "This is the first time I have seen the Caucasian dog brought by Cai Dong, but the dog is too big. I'm afraid no one is willing to bet with him..."
After hearing Wu Bing's words, Qin Feng knew that there were eight dogs in total today. Except for his Rhubarb and Cai Dong's Caucasian dog, the other six were actually pit bulls.
For this reason, Qin Feng knew that pit bulls were produced in the United States and were extremely muscular. They were typical large dogs.
Pit's temperament is usually relatively docile, but whenever he encounters the same kind, his temperament will change drastically and he will become extremely ferocious. Once he bites the other dog and refuses to let go, only the dog trainer can use a special crowbar to separate the dogs.
Since there is no need to encourage the use of pit bulls in fights, most people raise pit bulls. Although the Caucasian dogs Cai Dong brought today are powerful, there may not be many people who will accept his move.
How to bring it back.
"Everyone, we are all old friends. There is no need to explain the rules. We have just watched the dogfight on both sides. If you want to place a bet, just give the order to A Biao."
As the time for the dog fighting approached, Chang Xiangfeng and A Biao also appeared next to the dog fighting ring. Only then did Qin Feng know that these people in the ring had already seen the dog fighting on both sides.
This is also because pit bulls cannot meet each other. Otherwise, if they are taken to a dog fighting ring for observation, they may bite into a ball as soon as they come up, and there will be no chance for everyone to place bets.
"Lao Xie, do you want to bet?"
Xie Dazhi and Wu Bing also had several betting slips in their hands. Wu Bing pointed at the slips and said: "The general is the fighting dog of the horse boss in Ji Province. He had a winning rate in the past, and the current market price is probably worth thirty thousand...
This dog named Xiong is our Jintian Lao Fan's dog. This dog has never been out, and I don't know what to do with it. In my opinion, we can put some money on the general."
Although Wu Bing hasn't been here for several months, this circle is so big. Except for young people like Cai Dong, most of them are familiar with them and have some understanding of their dogs.
"Old Wu, okay, let's suppress the general. I'll suppress him by 200,000!"
It's very interesting that Wu Bing can bring himself into this circle. Xie Dazhi knows that if he wants to integrate into this circle and be recognized by others, it depends on his own ability.
"Okay, Lao Xie, you are stronger than the first time I came."
Wu Bing saw Xie Dazhi's thoughts, shook his head with a smile, and said: "I'd better keep it a little less, pay a hundred thousand to see, this is a "fixed" game, there is no excitement later."
"Hey, let me tell you, Old Wu, why are you trying to win a hundred thousand dollars? Tsk, tsk, why are you getting smaller and smaller as you play?"
As soon as Wu Bing finished writing the order, a middle-aged man in his forties squeezed over. After seeing the number Wu Bing wrote on it, he smiled and said: "Since you don't want to start a dogfight, let's do it here.
Let’s compete, I beat Lao Fan’s bastard by 200,000, let’s see who of us loses and who wins.”
Looking at the person coming, Wu Bing said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Old Qi, didn't I just beat you once? How can I be so unyielding?"
In fact, Wu Bing had a pretty good relationship with Lao Qi before, but after the Tosa dog he raised killed Lao Qi's bitch a year ago, when Lao Qi saw him again, his nose always looked like this.
