Chapter 13

The next day was the weekend. In the morning, Ye Tianhui washed up and went out to the breakfast shop to eat. As a result, when she went downstairs, she happened to see that the landlord's room was full of people, and everyone was watching horse racing enthusiastically.

Ye Tianhui stopped and looked from the front of the door. The TV was an old TV with a poor signal. There were snowflakes on the screen, but this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm.

Across the TV screen covered with snow, the lively atmosphere was also transmitted. Everyone gathered in the room and looked up. Some people were whispering about who the figures that flashed by were. They were all famous figures, and they were not easy to see at ordinary times.

After watching for a while, Ye Tianhui went out.

She wanted a bowl of salty porridge, which she could eat with the food that Gu Shizhang gave her, and then get some hot water from the landlord. This way, her food for the day would be solved without spending a lot of money.

The breakfast in Xiangjiang is very rich, with both Chinese and Western food. Ye Tianhui didn't like sandwiches, ham, macaroni, etc., so she asked for fried dough sticks. They seemed to call fried dough sticks "zhayougui" here.

In addition to zhayougui, she also asked for a bowl of tofu pudding and salty porridge.

The tofu pudding in Xiangjiang is different from that in old Beijing. The tofu pudding in old Beijing is salty, but the one in Xiangjiang is paired with ginger juice and brown sugar. It tastes a bit special, very rich and smooth.

In fact, Ye Tianhui is not very adaptable. Eating too much sweet food is boring. She wants to eat salty, or dry, crispy and spicy food, which is more flavorful. But there is nothing to choose at the moment, so she has to bear with it.

Ye Tianhui carried the food upstairs, and after putting it away, she ate tofu pudding and fried dough sticks first. She planned to keep the salty porridge for lunch, and the landlord had a stove that could help heat it up.

After she put all the food away, she went downstairs again, but saw that the first game had ended. Everyone had mixed emotions. Some people sighed with regret, some were extremely excited, and some were ready for the next game.

She asked about the result, and someone enthusiastically told her the top three. She listened and saw that the two horses she chose came in first and second respectively.

After hearing the result, she was really relieved.

She had to at least bet on the first place in two games and the second place in one game to get the lowest consolation prize, so that she could at least earn some money instead of losing money.

There were three matches in total. The result of the first match came out. Half of the eight combinations she bought were eliminated, but there were still four combinations that could continue to fight.

If she won one of the next two matches, it would basically be no problem, so the second match was a big key for her.

At this time, everyone finally recovered from the emotions just now and began to discuss the next match.

"I bet on Invincible Warrior in the next race. Now I can only hope that Invincible Warrior will take the lead and win the first place!"

"Invincible Warrior? That one definitely won't work. I bet on 'Crazy Boy La La'. I heard that it's from Australia and it made a big splash last year!"

There was also an old man who was being mysterious: "I paid a high price for the secret tip. I bet on 'Red Master'. It's a new horse. All of your horses have to give way to it. Today is its first time on the front line!"

Ye Tianhui pricked up her ears to listen. She found that everyone had chosen all kinds of horses, but most of them chose popular ones, such as the "Invincible Warrior" who had performed outstandingly in the past and the famous European horse 'Crazy Boy La La'. As for the one she picked, "Graceful as a Swallow", only a bald old man chose it.

As soon as the bald old man said his choice, he was immediately sympathized by the people around him. An old man who seemed to understand also frowned and shook his head: "This horse is not good!"

The bald old man looked depressed: "If you are unlucky, you can't do anything. I just heard that this horse is good, so I bet on it!"

Ye Tianhui listened from the side and didn't say anything. But she also chose the horse "Pianpian Ruyan". She didn't think she was "unlucky". She must win...

As she talked like this, everyone began to notice Ye Tianhui and looked at her curiously.

Maybe it was because she beat up that gangster before, and everyone looked at her with admiration and caution

. Ye Tianhui was very calm about this.

In fact, Ye Tianhui in her previous life had long been accustomed to the awe of others.

At this time, the old man next to him asked Ye Tianhui: "Mei Zi also likes horse racing? Have you placed a bet?"

When he asked this, everyone looked at Ye Tianhui.

Ye Tianhui admitted: "I placed a bet."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested and asked questions one after another. Ye Tianhui said: "I bought Pian Pian Ru Yan."

When she said this, the bald old man was immediately excited: "Look, Mei Zi also bought Pian Pian Ru Yan, I said Pian Pian Ru Yan is good, Mei Zi is knowledgeable!"

However, his words only caused everyone to laugh: "Mei Zi doesn't understand!"

An old man who knew about the business next to him enthusiastically gave Ye Tianhui advice and told her why her horse was not good: "Even if there is a handicap, this horse is not as good as 'Kuang Zi La La', not to mention that the rider of 'Kuang Zi La La' is a well-known British horseman. " You are a famous rider. Look at that 'Pian Pian Ru Yan'. He is a young rider trained in Hong Kong and has little experience. This time, we let 'Pian Pian Ru Yan' compete just to gain experience."

Another middle-aged man in his forties also shook his head: "Young man, this is a waste of money. You should tell us about it. We will help you analyze it and give you some advice. Why don't you buy 'Pian Pian Ru Yan'!"

Someone else laughed and said, "Sister, you just don't understand. Do you think this is the horse ridden by Ke Zhiming?"

While everyone was discussing, the second race began. No one spoke immediately. Everyone stared at the TV screen.

But there was a gunshot, the raceway opened, and ten racehorses burst out almost instantly, rushing forward like arrows from a bow.

The horse running in the front was none other than the famous British horse 'Crazy La La', which obviously had explosive power that other horses did not have.

Ye Tianhui narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the strong figure of 'Crazy La La'.

She suddenly felt that she had overlooked something. This race was a short-distance race, which required more sensitivity and explosive power. After all, the whole race lasted only a little over a minute.

If the race was longer, she would have more confidence in her bet on 'Pian Pian Ru Yan'.

But now, with only a little over a minute of competition, it was obvious that 'Crazy La La' had more experience in participating in the race, and it took the lead at the first moment, which also caused great psychological pressure on other horses.

Ten horses galloped forward, their hooves flying with great speed. The competition was fierce, and I don't know how many cheers were attracted. Even in front of the TV, the uncles were flushed, clenched their fists, and desperately cheered for the horses they bet on.

"Go, go! Crazy boy!"

"Come on, invincible warrior! Come on, cheer for me!"

At this time, 'Invincible Warrior' rushed forward and actually led the British famous horse 'Crazy La La' by half a head. Seeing this, an old man who bet on 'Invincible Warrior' was excited. He jumped up from the bench, waved his fists, and shouted hoarsely: "Invincible Warrior, Invincible Warrior!!"

Seeing this, the other old men were also worried: "Crazy La La! Crazy La La, charge, charge for me!!"

Ye Tianhui also stared at the TV screen from the side.

After all, she was too poor now and had no other livelihood. Three hundred Hong Kong dollars was a large sum for her, and she couldn't afford to lose.

In fact, she felt that she was going to learn a lesson.

Horse racing is not that simple. It is the result of the interaction of the rider, the horse, the complex rules of horse racing, and some factors such as the right time, the right place, and the right people. She can only judge horses, but cannot achieve an overwhelming victory. Horse racing is not a safe way to make money.

She must think of other ways. Maybe she can ask Gu Shizhang for help. Is it more appropriate to work as a handyman at a horse farm?

At this time, the horses' hooves were flying, and several horses had reached the bend of the track. The track was narrow, and the horses ran very fast, but they had to make a high-speed turn here. This was naturally a test for both the horses and the jockeys.

Ye Tianhui looked over, and saw that in the midst of the crazy cheers and screams, the horse she had bet on, "Pianpian Ruyan", leaped forward -

her heart was immediately lifted!

This action is actually in compliance with the rules, but it is a bit difficult.

If it succeeds, the horse may overtake on the corner, but if it fails, it may fall directly off the track!

Right and wrong, success or failure, in this move, Ye Tianhui's redwood fish and the delicious food are also here!
