When he arrived at Augusta National, Qin Yi found that there were indeed more pedestrians on the street than usual.
He dragged his family and their families and had fun all the way to the competition venue near the livestock market. basket. color.
Book. bar, Crowds of people gathered here, and there were all kinds of transportation.
Qin Yi observed that there were horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, tractors, pickup trucks, etc.
What was even weirder was an old white man driving a four-wheeled motorcycle with a tow truck behind him.
There was a cartoon train with several boys and girls sitting in a long queue.
Seeing this weird motorcycle train, everyone couldn't help but take a second look.
They couldn't help but say something cheerful, and even some who were familiar with the old man laughed and joked.
The children on the train didn't care.
They sat on the novel train and enjoyed the admiration of everyone.
Not to mention, the adults were just watching, but the other children were envious.
Angel and Betsy also looked 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 play with you."
Qin Yi coaxed the two little girls to smile, hugging his head and kissing him.
Walker and Ryan knew a lot of people, and Qin Yi was somewhat of a celebrity in Augusta.
There were a lot of people greeting him along the way, and a few people greeted him cheerfully, which made both parties happy.
Several people drove the bullock cart and walked slowly with the crowd.
After a while, they arrived at the arena.
They found a place to park the bullock cart and Qin Yi observed the field.
This is the small square in front of the livestock market.
It has been properly arranged at this time.
There is a 100-meter-long track separated in the middle of the square, which is ten meters wide.
Ten calves will participate in each round of the group stage, and the top two will advance to the next round. .
At this time, both sides of the track were already crowded with people.
Adults gathered in twos and threes to chat and laugh, and children gathered in groups to discuss which calf was good-looking and strong.
Qin Yi roughly judged that there were two or three people near the entire track.
Thousands of people, accounting for 30% of the residents of Augusta Town A few small town police officers could also be seen patrolling, but the number of police officers, less than ten, was insignificant compared to the two or three thousand people.
Fortunately, everyone obeyed the rules, and the scene was lively but not chaotic. , and there are also some spontaneous people who help maintain order, making the work of the police not as hectic as imagined.
Susa and other women were watching with their two children.
Qin Yi and the other three greeted familiar and unfamiliar people and led Mavericks to the pre-game preparation area to draw numbers for the upcoming game.
This will be Determine the order of play for the Mavericks.
Qin Yi followed Walker and Ryan's example, patting the calf's neck, touching its face, and whispering words of encouragement and comfort.
Regardless of whether he could understand it or not, this attitude made the calf, who had never seen such a big scene, relax a lot.
It’s just that Qin Yi led two cows, the little flower cow and the little black cow, and he did twice as much work as others.
At this time, the mayor Marcus came over with a middle-aged police officer.
Marcus greeted everyone along the way, making small jokes from time to time, or teasing a certain calf participating in the competition, showing good communication skills.
The two of them came directly to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi glanced at Walker and Ryan suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.
"Don't worry, Yi.
That's the town police chief Gerald.
He should be here to get to know you."
Walker patted Qin Yi on the shoulder and explained.
Qin Yi was not worried, but just a little confused.
After listening to Walker's words, he understood a little.
The police chief should have asked Marcus to be the introducer and come over to get acquainted.

He has always been honest and has no chance to deal with people like police and officials.
He did know two police officers before, but unfortunately they were from Great Falls.
"Ah ha, Yi, I asked Ryan about this before you came to participate in the competition.
It seems that Ryan told you."
Marcus smiled and walked up to shake Qin Yi's hand.
"Yes, this kind of competition is quite interesting."
Marcus was very happy after hearing Qin Yi's words.
It was interesting.
Although this competition is traditional, he has organized it in the past two years.
At least it shows that he, a mayor who has not received much practical benefits, still has some ability.
"Yi, let me introduce to you, this is the town's police chief, Chief Gerard."
Qin Yi smiled and looked at Gerald, who immediately smiled and said: "Hello, Yi, all the police officers in our town are committed to safeguarding everyone's legitimate rights and interests, and everyone's supervision is welcome."
"Hello, Chief Gerrard, I believe that the police officers can definitely protect the safety of the town."
Qin Yi complimented, and he somewhat understood what the other party meant.
This was to express his stance to himself, a rancher with a little wealth.
I heard that here in the United States, the police chiefs will increase the protection of the rich in their jurisdictions, and immediately eliminate any signs of threatening the legitimate rights and interests of the rich, because the rich have various connections.
Establishing good relations with the wealthy is crucial, whether it is promotion or maintaining stability within the jurisdiction.
Qin Yi was very satisfied with Gerald's attitude.
He could avoid some troubles in the future.
Gerald was naturally very happy with Qin Yi's words.
Their work was recognized by the ranchers who came to the town and had some words to say.
Light thing.
Qin Yi saw that everyone was participating with a calf, and he was the only one leading two.
He didn't know if it was allowed, "Marcus, can each person only have one cow?"
Marcus glanced at the two calves Qin Yi was holding and explained with a smile: "That's not true.
There are no rules for this competition.
The only rule is calves under 6 months old, but everyone is used to bringing a cow to participate.
It doesn’t matter if you have two cows, just register other people’s names when the numbers are drawn.”
Qin Yi thought about it, and it was a good idea.
It was originally the calf of two girls, and it happened to be registered in the names of Angel and Betsy.
The two sides chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
However, the game was about to start.
Marcus had to organize the scene, and Gerrard also had to direct the 7 or 8 police officers under him to maintain order in the field.
Please go away. .
Qin Yi followed Walker and Ryan on stage to draw the numbers.
Angel's little black cow was in the fifth group, and Betsy's little flower cow was in the seventh group.
There were ten groups in total, and the rankings were pretty good.
At about the same time, 8 referees came on stage, causing the crowd to burst into laughter.
Qin Yi glanced at several referees and couldn't help but laugh, because all 8 referees were children, the youngest was only 2 or 3 years old, and he said Biting a lollipop, he looked around curiously.
The oldest one was only 8 or 9 years old.
He grinned, revealing one of his missing front teeth.
Qin Yi finally understood.
No wonder he said this game was a joke.
Even the referee was so casual.
How could the game 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.
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 and looked at the eight children sitting on the referee's bench with smiles or serious faces, thinking that the game was about to begin.
After a while, Marcus came on stage to speak, and the residents in the audience became quiet and gave Marcus the respect he deserved.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our annual calf racing competition in Augusta is about to begin.
This year, under the witness of eight competent judges, we will select the fastest calf of the year.
But look Look at our contestants, wow, they are all strong calves.
It seems that if we want to decide the winner, we have to go through a fierce battle."
Marcus danced on the stage, jumped up and down, and his words were splashing with saliva.
Everyone in the audience felt that their ears were being bombarded, hoping that this old guy would come down quickly.
They were not here to see Marcus, an old man.
The guy was spitting on the stage "Okay, last sentence, our competition will be videotaped and taken by our most professional photographers."
Marcus pointed at a few primary school students holding DVDs and Polaroids in the audience, and the children immediately faced everyone They waved to show 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 Obama sees it, he might expect us to invite him to be the referee next year.
Haha, okay, okay, the game officially begins."
The crowd immediately cheered, not knowing whether to give Marcus face or to celebrate that the anticipated game was finally about to begin.
