Chapter 1380 - 671 Bullfighting_2
Chapter 1380: Chapter 671 Bullfighting_2I thought there would be fewer people in the afternoon, but unexpectedly, due to the huge turnout in the morning, the crowd had grown even larger. Thousands of people were awaiting the bullfight, yet the two bulls showed no interest in fighting. As the people around tried various methods to provoke them, the bulls coolly continued to
Then there was a rest period, and a lion dance troupe came up and performed for a while, allowing everyone to calm down from the excitement of the moment. Otherwise, the continuous bullfighting would cause aesthetic fatigue soon enough.
The lion dancing troupe, too, was an excellent team selected from the county. Their performance was no less spectacular than the bullfighting. Yan Fei didn’t hesitate to score a high 9.5 points, explaining to someone nearby, "The four people who went up this round, if not trained professionals, have definitely practiced lion dancing specifically. But since they’re the first act, they can only score this high. Any higher, and it would be unfair to those who might perform even better later on."
Everyone nodded with understanding; the order of performance drawn by lots was a gamble. Being first could be an advantage, but more often it could be a disadvantage—you couldn’t assign too high scores to start with, otherwise as Yan Fei said, what about the later acts?
After the lion dance troupe exited the stage, the second round of bullfighting began.
Now with experience, the two bulls quickly met each other, and the inevitable fight broke out.
Cheers, applause, and whistles once again filled the air.
However, these two bulls fell short compared to the first pair—not in size, but in spirit. In less than half an hour, one bull started retreating consistently and was about to be cornered to the edge of the arena. It finally turned around and began running around the edge of the arena.
The other bull chased for a few steps and then stopped, marking the end of this round.
When the lion dance team took the stage again, Heizi ran over and whispered in Yan Fei’s ear, "Brother Fei, we’ve discussed it. What about bringing out our most combative bull?"
Yan Fei smiled at the other judges and nodded slightly to Heizi, "Just handle it as you see fit."
The bulls from both sides quickly made their entrance. As soon as Tanghe County’s bull appeared, even Chairman Dong was puzzled, "Boss Yan, what are you planning here? Why did you bring out such a bull? Have you thought it through? We can’t change bulls mid-competition."
To speak the truth, the bull they brought out was absolutely not small, at least comparable to the one from Xinyuan County. But Chairman Dong and a few others who were familiar with the situation knew very well that this bull was nowhere near the largest in Boss Yan’s farm.
Yan Fei chuckled, "No worries, just enjoy the show. At the very least, this bull’s horns are long enough; they might just scare the opponent’s bull away."
The forthright older brother from the Meat Processing Factory laughed, "Boss Yan, you’re so confident. How about we make a bet? I’m betting on Xinyuan’s bull. Are you in?"
Yan Fei asked, "What’s the bet?"
"Money isn’t suitable, let’s bet on tonight’s dinner! There’s ten of us, we go have a meal in the city tonight, whoever loses pays the bill, how about that?" the older brother said enthusiastically.
"Sure!" Yan Fei was full of confidence, his words firm as he replied, "Tonight, you just wait to be the host! And that’s not enough—when you lose, you have to down three drinks as a penalty, with everyone here as witnesses!"
"Done! Three drinks it is. No glasses smaller than a tael, they don’t count. At least one tael or more!" the older brother replied, not showing any weakness.
