As soon as the mayor finished handing out the prizes, Ju An was about to get up and walk. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left his seat, he turned his head and found that no one showed any sign of leaving, so he had to sit down again.
I heard the mayor announce: "What is going to be held next is a piglet auction! Now read out the piglets that are interested in participating in the auction." Following the mayor, he read a list of names, and most of the thirty piglets were intended to be auctioned.
, then we started with the piglets that didn’t win, and auctioned them according to their numbers. Those with the same numbers were randomly selected. No one cared about the order. The mayor also temporarily played the role of auctioneer, and those who wanted to auction
The piglet was sent to a table in front of the mayor...
Ju An paused for a moment and said something to Dinah next to him. When he turned around, he found that the mayor had an extra gavel in his hand: "Now let's auction Miss Piggy. Taylor will be ranked one by one.
!Oh! My God, this Miss Piggy is so beautiful. She has a little guitar and shiny performance clothes. I think she is better than Tai.
Leren must be prettier, dear, have you noticed this little pig?" After saying that, he pointed to the mayor's wife under the stage, and following the direction of the mayor's finger, Ju An saw the mayor's family.
, the mayor’s parents and wife were sitting in the audience with their three children. Seeing the mayor pointing here, his wife smiled and shook her head.
Seeing his wife's expression, the mayor smiled and said to everyone: "Well, it seems that my hope of buying it home is shattered! Who among the following intends to take this beautiful Miss Taylor home? As for whether she can
Sing to you, oh! God, do you still want to buy a real Taylor for tens of dollars?
, the starting price of this beautiful Miss Taylor is thirty-five dollars. Did you notice that thirty-five dollars is not enough to even attend Miss Taylor’s concert tickets! Now for thirty-five dollars you can truly own a Miss Taylor.” Listen.
There was a burst of laughter from below, and then someone raised their hands.
After three or five price increases, each time it only increased by five or ten dollars, the mayor finally banged the wooden hammer, and the transaction price of Miss Taylor was more than fifty dollars.
Seeing this, Ju An turned around and asked Dinah: "Is everyone still enthusiastic about buying this little pig as a pet? Or will it be raised to eat meat?"
Dinah explained with a smile: "Some are bought back as pets, and more are bought back by farmers to be fattened and then sold. Generally speaking, the piglets that are ranked first are more likely to be pets, and the piglets that are ranked later are generally more likely to be pets.
It was bought by the farmer. Do you want to buy a piglet as a pet? It just happens to be a companion for Teddy and the others."
Ju An listened to Dinah's words and shook his head: "It's better to be a pet. Several of the guys in the family eat meat. Even Wu Song would get some meat sticks to eat from time to time. This guy was very hungry the day he kept them together.
"Yes, the first thing these guys ate was probably the piglet." After saying that, I thought to myself: This family keeps a pig as a pet, how annoying it is.
When you grow up to be 100 or 200 pounds fatter, you really can't have this. It's not a problem to raise and eat meat. The key point is that you already have a few big pigs at home. You can probably eat one a year just by yourself.
, there is no way that a bunch of old American and Chilean cowboys in the ranch eat mostly beef and mutton. They don’t like pork that much.
A dozen piglets were auctioned in succession, and the mayor made jokes in the middle to stir up the atmosphere. Ju An looked down and thought: Hey! It’s not easy to be a mayor here in the United States. If you have something to do, just do it.
If you have to steal the limelight and express yourself, no one will choose you next time. It’s really hard work having to entertain the public.
Something went wrong when one of the little pigs was carried on the table. The little guy took a fancy to the small gavel in the mayor's hand, took the gavel into his mouth while the mayor was calling the price, and lay on the table to chew it.
He got up and waited for the mayor to snatch the gavel back from the piggy's mouth. He took the gavel and waved his hand, which meant that the gavel was bitten by the piglet. The audience below
He also became happy.
At the end of the auction, the first piglet, Pigham, was the most expensive, selling for more than a hundred dollars, and the rest were sold for tens of dollars. When the auction of the piglets was over, the town's Pig Racing Festival was complete.
The end of.
After getting into the car again and driving towards Dinah's family farm, Ju An asked in the car: "Is the Pig Running Festival held today every year?".
Marcos smiled and turned around to explain: "I wonder if today is fixed and held on the first Sunday of March every year. This is fixed. Why are you planning to bring the piglets from the pasture to compete next year?"
Ju An shook his head and said with a smile: "My pigs haven't given birth to piglets yet. If there are suitable ones, I would like to come and play with them!".
"Actually, this competition is just for fun to watch. The most important thing is to train the piglets to know that there is food at the end of the pen. We also train when we have free time. Others train almost the same way. The key is to watch what happens on the field.
It's just luck, if the piggy isn't attracted by anything else, he can usually win," Melina said with a smile.
"If no one informs him next year, maybe he won't remember such a Pig Running Festival at all. He missed the Groundhog Day on February 2nd last time," Dinah said with a smile.
"There's also Groundhog Day." Ju An scratched his head: Why does this guy feel like it's all a holiday all year round? This guy only knows that the groundhog digging holes in the ground still has a holiday?
"Every year on February 2nd, the mayor will take everyone to the field to find a groundhog nest, and then dig out the groundhog to see if the groundhog is happy. If the groundhog is awakened,
It's very joyous after that, which means that spring has arrived. This is also called the groundhog announcing the Spring Festival," Dinah explained to Ju An with a smile.
"At that time, weren't we busy going back to China to celebrate the Spring Festival? We were waiting to see it again next year. Anyway, it happens every year and we can't run away," Ju An said with a smile.
The four of them chatted like this before returning to Dinah's farm. They stopped the car and Ju An followed him into the house and drank a cup of coffee. Then he picked up Dinah and drove towards his ranch.
As soon as Dinah arrived at the ranch, she was warmly welcomed by the little guys. It seemed like they had been separated for two or three days like several years. During this time, her Teddy had grown a lot bigger and she could now hold it even when she stood up.
Ju'an's thighs have grown, and the mountain lion brother has grown into a big cat, and is getting more and more naughty. Now he climbs trees and sneaks around smoothly. When he is fine, he is in front of the house.
Climbing on the tree behind the house to scare the little squirrels. As for the fox family, when they saw someone, they hid under the steps. Dinah was not familiar with feeding her, and she ignored everyone except Ju Anqin. Wu Song
He continued to be cool, either holding a piece of food or dragging a small branch in his hand, always ready to teach a few little guys, acting like a stern elder brother.
As for the wolf cubs in Ju'an's space, they have grown very tall. After all, they are slightly shorter than the cattle dogs in the pasture because they were raised in the space, and their legs are not as long as those of the ordinary wolves that Ju'an observed.
, three little wolf cubs with special legs
It is stout and has a wider head than the wolves outside. Unlike the mountain wolves outside, the mouth is longer and the body is lighter. The entire body from the lower jaw to the upper part of the front legs is covered with thick down, which looks a bit funny, just like the circumference.
It's like wearing a thick scarf, now
The relationship between the three little ones and Ju An has also improved, and they are no longer open to Ju An. Especially the youngest one, who is very dependent on Ju An. When he sees Ju An, he likes to surround him.
Swirling around. Now the three little guys have eaten meat.
, because he wanted to put them back into the mountains, Ju An did not feed them cooked meat like the other little ones in the pasture, and the three wolf cubs only ate raw meat. Seeing that the three wolf cubs were almost grown, Ju An prepared to
Feed it for a few days and then find an opportunity to release it into the mountains.
Ju An put Dinah's small bag in the bedroom upstairs. The small bag was quite heavy when he lifted it today, and he didn't know what Dinah had put in it.
After finishing dinner, packing up and taking care of the little ones, the two of them sat on the bed, and then Ju An discovered that Dinah had a few cello books in her bag. She watched Dinah put a few books on the bed.
At first, Ju An asked: "Why do you still have such a cello book? What's the use of just having a book? You don't even have a cello."
"When I was in middle school, I studied cello for a period of time. I liked it very much, but sitting there was too boring for me, a little girl who played English football when I was a child. I discovered this a few days ago when I was sorting out books.
I casually browsed through these books and it was very interesting to think about the school orchestra at that time." Dinah explained with a smile.
Ju An raised his eyebrows: "This is not good. I have heard someone say this: If a person always thinks of the past, he will be old. We are only in our twenties, and we are as beautiful as flowers.
What do you think about these things at your age? It seems that you have spent too much time in the ranch doing nothing. We will go on a trip in a while, and your task now is to pick a place, anywhere!" After saying that, Ju An closed his eyes on Dinah.
book in hand.
As soon as she heard about traveling, Dinah got excited: "Then let's go to Germany. The two countries I have most wanted to visit over the years are China and Germany. When we find time to travel to Germany, I
My father always talked about how beautiful the scenery was when my grandfather took my father to Germany. I have never been there before. My grandfather’s hometown produced a great figure. You Chinese people must know Karl Marx."
"Oh! It turns out that we, Dinah and Comrade Lao Ma, are fellow villagers, so disrespectful!" Ju An made a bowing gesture with his hands, making Dinah burst into laughter. Then he started to build a relationship with Ju An:
"So I am half a fellow countryman of Comrade Ma, and I am related to the revolutionary mentor."
Then he said to Dinah: "Okay! When the weather is not so cold in a while, we will go to Germany and take a walk around Paris and London." Ju An said with a big hand
Hua said with great momentum.
