    On New Year's Eve in 1938, the American "Time Magazine" compiled a list of the top ten newsmakers of the year, but at that time there were only nine people on the list, including Franklin Roosevelt, Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler.

    The other one is not a person, but a horse. The name of this horse is Seabiscuit.

    This horse was born in 1933. It is short and has defects - the knees are protruding and asymmetrical, and it is not straight enough. It is a typical example of defective stature. This kind of horse should be abandoned as soon as it is born. This is all  people's consensus.

    In this way, Seabiscuit has been living a hard life from birth to three years old. Coming from a horse racing family, he was treated as a bad horse, hauling goods and grinding, and did a lot of hard work.

    In 1936, a poor horse trainer named Tom Smith bought it. After a year of training, in 1937, Seabiscuit began to participate in the National Horse Racing Competition.  Then from the first time he stepped onto the track, he began to sweep all the great horses in the United States. He was invincible in the American horse racing industry, winning ten important prize races, and his annual income reached a then record-breaking 144,000.  Dollar!

    Especially on November 1, 1938, the match between Seabiscuit and another bonus horse "Admiral" was even more legendary.  After starting behind, he unexpectedly won by four positions!

    The legend is not over. An accident on February 14, 1939 caused the suspensory ligament of Seabiscuit's left front leg to rupture, so it is likely that it will never be able to compete again.

    Then on March 2, 1940, the 7-year-old Seabiscuit suddenly made a comeback and challenged for the last time the event it had never conquered: the Santa Anita $100,000 Prize Race.

    Everyone thought that this old horse was just participating in a friendly competition to bring an end to his career, but the final result of the game shocked the entire United States: Seabiscuit ran the best result in the history of the Santa Anita Race, and American horse racing  The second best result ever and a world record-breaking result.

    After watching the game, the famous writer Julie Roger immediately wrote in his column: "How lucky I am to live to see this day."

    Since that time, the name Seabiscuit has always represented indomitable spirit, perseverance, and unyielding faith in North America.

    Qin Shiou was shocked when he heard about this for the first time. This is not chicken soup for the soul, this is a real legend. Naming his car after such a legend also represents Powell's expectations for himself.

    He will become a legend in the racing world!

    Qin Shiou patted Powell on the shoulder and said: "This is a good name. Come on, man, don't let Seabiscuit be ashamed!"

    He then taught Powell how to control the ATV, allowing him to try starting, accelerating and turning on his own, and he initially mastered the skills of driving the vehicle.

    Auerbach stood on the beach, watching Qin Shiou patiently teach Powell how to drive, with a smile on his face.

    Early the next morning, Powell got up and wiped the sea biscuits clean. Following Qin Shiou's instructions last night, he checked the brake lines, automatic handbrake, fuel tank, wheels, axles, etc., and only went to eat them after there were no problems.  breakfast.

    After breakfast, the four children went to town to sell dumplings, while Qin Shiou took Mao Weilong on a cruise.

    After the cruise, Qin Shiou was going to take Mao Weilong to fish shooting in the afternoon. The two packed up their things, and Shaq took Ivoson directly to prepare first. This was not only about shooting fish, but also a barbecue party by the lake in the evening after shooting fish.

    Qin Shiou made lunch, but the four children did not come back for dinner. Father Hixon called and said that the children would not go back and would eat at his place.

    After a nice nap, Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong drove to Shenbao Lake in a pickup truck. They first stopped at Daddy Hickson¡¯s restaurant on the way.

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, it was the hottest time of the day. Many people were hiding in air-conditioned rooms to enjoy the coolness. But next to Papa Hixon's restaurant, four children and two puppies stood in the shade and watched eagerly.  Watching pedestrians coming and going.

    Next to the restaurant are two tables. One table has an induction cooker and a pot, and the other table has condiments, packaging boxes and other things. There is also a propped up paper box with Chinese characters and English written on it.  One line: Authentic Chinese dumplings, delicious and not expensive.

    Qin Shiou stopped the car across the street and looked at several children in the distance.

    There were no pedestrians on the road, let alone customers eating. After a while, Father Hickson opened the door and said to the four children: "Come in, good boy, there are no customers coming out to eat now. You can continue to sell in the evening."  goodIt's too hot, Qin, how to shoot fish?  You'll get heat stroke.  "

    Qin Shiou was speechless for a moment. Indeed, how could anyone brave the sun to shoot fish at noon?

    Mao Weilong smiled kindly and said, "Uncle Mao wants to lose weight, so he has to shoot fish at noon so that he can sweat more."

    The children nodded in realization. Qin Shiou quietly gave him a thumbs up and said, "Why are you so clever? Thumbs up for your cleverness."

    When Shirley refused to pay the bill, Qin Shiou smiled and said: "When we eat your dumplings, of course we have to give you money, because this is business - family affection is family affection, and business is business."

    Father Hixon also nodded and said: "Yes, children, remember this sentence, business is business and has nothing to do with anything else."

    Qin Shiou gave Shirley ten yuan, two yuan for a dumpling, which was very cheap.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
