Zhang Chi and Zheng Bohong stood by the car at the door, raising their hands to look at their watches from time to time, or shouting into the room.
"are you done?"
Zheng Bohong reached out and pointed his watch, and continued shouting into the room: "It's almost time, the time is up soon, and I won't be able to find a seat by then."
Zhao Yue's impatient voice came from inside: "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you rushing to be reincarnated? Who will snatch the reserved seat from you?"
Zheng Bohong rolled his eyes and leaned against the car, panting.
Zhang Chi is quite calm here. He is not in a hurry, because in his opinion, as long as he doesn't miss the Kentucky Derby, it will be fine. As for the previous game, what does it have to do with him, Lao Zhang? He won't make any money if he wins Lao Zhang.
You won’t lose money even if you lose Laozhang, so it doesn’t matter whether you watch it or not.
But it cannot be denied that today's games are all worth watching. In addition to the Derby, there are also the Kentucky Oaks, Zhuoyong Championship, and Yaxianba Championship. In short, this day's game day focuses on several G1 battles, and two or three more.
A G2/G3 level game.
Of course, none of this matters to Zhang Chi. He doesn’t have a female horse to participate in the competition, let alone a two-year-old horse. So today Zhang Chi’s two horses run together in a derby. Except for this game, other games are not important to Zhang Chi.
The attractiveness of Chi is equal to zero.
But Zheng Bohong is different. He doesn't have a horse, so he naturally enjoys all the games, so he is anxious and wants to watch all today's games without missing a beat.
It is precisely because of this that he is a little dissatisfied with the sloppy ladies.
If they were dissatisfied, most people would definitely decide to go first, but Zheng Bohong was different. He didn't want to go first and insisted on getting together with everyone, so he had to wait and complain at the same time.
Complaining loudly will soon lead to a round of scolding if people in the room hear it.
This is often the case between friends. You scold me, I scold you, and then the relationship deepens during the fight.
Zhang Chi looked at Zheng Bohong for a while, then turned and looked at the car everyone drove today.
Whether it is Zheng Bohong, Zhao Yue or Duan Shuyi, they are not very poor people. They may not be able to afford a private jet, but they can still afford a car worth a few million.
Today, these people did not go to the racecourse in a luxury car, but chose an open-air, seven-seater minibus. It was not a minibus, but a very old classic car. Have you ever seen it?
There are no old Volkswagen vans. This thing is similar to that, except that it is made in England.
Things produced in Britain at that time were quite popular in the United States. Perhaps it was because of Americans' feelings towards their mother country. At that time, the sales volume of this car in the United States was quite good.
However, almost eighty years have passed and this car is almost no longer seen in the United States. The few preserved cars are generally in the hands of various collectors.
Zheng Bohong's car was not borrowed, but his own. It was a restored car. When he bought it, there was almost only a frame left. Even the frame was patched and patched.
After listening to Zheng Bohong's narration, he asked innocently: 90% of the car's items have been replaced, is this still an old car?
Zheng Bohong became angry when he asked this question. After replying, "You know what a fool," he ignored Zhang Chi for almost an hour or two.
In short, 90% of this classic car is brand new, including the engine, etc., but it is classified as a classic car, not a replica.
In Zhang Chi's opinion, except for the appearance nameplate on the front door, everything else is new.
But what I have to admit is that this car is absolutely eye-catching when driven out. Among all the new and luxury cars, this type of classic car will catch other people's eyes as soon as it is driven out.
There is no shame in driving this thing in the United States. Not only is there no shame, it is almost the same as driving a Maybach in China.
A big worker here in the United States is valuable, but it is far less valuable than at home. A big worker in the United States can easily afford millions, but a big worker in the United States can hardly have half a million dollars in his pocket.
Do you think it's expensive? Generally speaking, the middle-class income in the United States is US$70,000 to US$80,000, and a slightly richer family can only afford one if they save for five or six years.
Second-hand ones are even cheaper.
But classic cars are different. For example, many classic cars are much more expensive than new cars. In addition, many parts are hard to find. If it breaks down, you have to DIY it. So driving a classic car outside not only shows that you have taste.
, it also shows that it is not difficult at all to keep rice in your trouser pockets.
It was so easy to get such a cool car, and what kind of day was it today? How could Zheng Bohong bear it without driving it out to show off the car?
Not to mention Zheng Bohong, even Zhang Chi couldn't help it.
Zheng Bohong, who was next to him, muttered a few more words, and it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore and walked back into the house.
Zhang Chi was waiting for a quarrel in the room, and then Zheng Bohong came back. Who knew there was no movement at all? After waiting for three or two minutes, Zheng Bohong came out with a few pony toys in his hand. The pony was not big.
Most of them are palm-sized, and the production is a bit rough.
With this craftsmanship, Zhang Chi couldn't even say that this thing was made in China.
"Here, put this on!"
When Zheng Bohong came back, he pinned a brown pony in Zhang Chi's coat pocket, and then pinned one in his own pocket.
After a final look, another one appeared on Zhang Chi's belt.
"Are you crazy?" Zhang Chi was speechless when he saw the little flower horse on his waist.
"When you go to watch the horse racing, you have to take some photos, right?" Zheng Bohong said.
Zhang Chi said: "My riding on the track does not count as a response to the situation? Then what kind of scene should I respond to? I am here to make money."
Zheng Bohong ignored Li Zhangchi and patted him gently, then continued to lean on the car and look up into the house.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, the ladies finally came out.
They are all dressed up in a really fancy way. I’ve seen them before, so I won’t mention them. Anyway, both Zhao Yue and Duan Shuyi have their headlights half-opened. I don’t know if they are watching the game or inviting passers-by to look at the headlights.
.
Fortunately, Melika didn't wear clothes that exposed half of her headlights. Not only did she not reveal her headlights, she also didn't reveal much of her legs. This move won Zhang Chi's praise.
"Hurry up, ancestors, how long have we been here? We don't know how crowded it will be when we arrive..."
As soon as he saw everyone had come out, Zheng Bohong immediately opened the car door and motioned for three, oh, no, four ladies to get on the bus. As for the little lady Huizhi who was being held and could not speak, she was considered a lady, so there was no need for that.
Suspect.
Zhao Yue complained while getting in the car: "You are the only one who is anxious. Look at Zhang Chi, he doesn't say anything."
Duan Shu smiled and said: "Then let Zheng Bohong get married quickly. Then, after being trained by his wife for a few years, he will become like Zhang Chi."
Zhang Chi smiled and said nothing.
Melika took over: "I have never taught him. He is not in a hurry because it is not a game that is related to him. If you asked Derby to start watching immediately, he would have abandoned us and ran away...
”.
After getting in the car, the group finally set off, and a full hour had passed since Zhang Chi and Zheng Bohong came out of the house and arrived at the car.
When we arrived at the racecourse, we found that there were not many people outside. There were loud shouts inside the racecourse, and it was obvious that the race had already started.
On the match day, there must not be just these few games, there must be some opening games, for everyone to warm up, and also for the spectators to consume the snacks in the venue.
After parking the car, Zhang Chi and his group headed towards the venue.
A few people don't have private rooms. It's not that they don't want to, but there are only so many private rooms in a racecourse. The rich and distinguished guests here in the United States may not be satisfied. There is no place for Zhang Chi and his group.
However, these people are not just in the stands, but are sitting in a relatively small area that is not so crowded. You see, even if you are watching a game, Xiaomei will arrange it for you according to your pocket.
Properly.
After sitting down, Zheng Bohong got everyone something to drink. Others had drinks, but Melika had juice at room temperature. As everyone knows, Melika was not alone now.
Zhang Chi hugged his daughter and sat next to the aisle. Inside was Zheng Bohong, and behind that were the three of them, Melika.
Watching the game live is far more exciting than watching it on TV. I don’t know if it’s because of the herd mentality or because the commentators here are too able to arouse everyone’s enthusiasm.
After watching two games, Zhang Chi started shouting along with everyone.
He was not shouting nonsense. Following Zheng Bohong, Zhang Chi would cheer for whichever horse he bought.
However, Zheng Bohong was obviously not the type to eat this bowl of rice. He bought a few games and lost a few, and he never even guessed a winning horse.
All the hot horses were shocked, and were trampled in the mud one by one. Not even a champion horse was seen.
"I'm having a bad start today," Zheng Bohong said.
Zhao Yue said at this time: "I'm going, but we can't do this. Otherwise, what will you do if you end up in the Great Secret Realm and Silly Damu? Bah! Bah! Tong Yan Wuji!"
Zhao Yue regretted it when he said this.
Melika smiled and said: "It's okay, Zhang Chi and I don't believe this."
Zhang Chi said: "You crow's mouth, please treat me to a big dinner tonight."
After hearing this, Zhao Yue smiled and patted his chest, making the headlights sway, which almost made the white guy next to him drool.
"No problem, I'll take care of it."
As soon as I finished speaking, the dazzled white guy came up to me.
Zhao Yue smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I want to watch a game with my friends."
The little white guy understood that the girl with the headlight in front of him didn't mean anything to him, so he stopped disturbing Zhao Yue and turned around to chat with the friend next to him.
Everyone continued to watch the game, and Zheng Bohong's losses continued to accumulate.
It’s really strange to say that after buying this product for so many times, he actually never won a single one. The cold horse he was optimistic about didn’t go cold, and the hot horse was even more chilling. Zheng Bohong was so confused in one moment.
I was a little dumbfounded myself.
"Did you poop without washing your hands before buying a ticket?"
Zhao Yue's words are very heartbreaking.
Zheng Bohong said: "I peeled an apple for you without washing my hands."
vomit!
Zhao Yue stopped jumping now.
The next game is the main game. The first one to play is naturally not Derby, but it is also a classic G3 game. The prize money of hundreds of thousands is considered the lowest level today.
Although the prize money is not much, the participating horses are of extremely high standard and their results are quite outstanding.
