Chapter 1101: Plans Cannot Keep up with Changes

Although the national bird of England is the robin, its status here is not as high as that of the crow.

Because the crow is regarded as a sacred bird and a patron saint by the English, its status and symbolism are not comparable to that of a small robin.

Han Li didn't know this at first, and he learned about it from books after he came here.

Moreover, these legends about crows have been recognized by both the royal family and the people. They believe that crows are related to England's national destiny. The more crows there are, the stronger and more prosperous the country will be.

On the contrary, they believe that if crows leave London on a large scale, England will also fall apart.

So these crows can not only fly and land freely in England and enjoy the food given to them by the people.

Some crows can live in the Big Ben of the London Tower openly, and there is also a position of raven officer who is responsible for feeding crows and cleaning feces.

Han Li also learned from books that the owl, which symbolizes death, darkness, and bad luck in my country, also has a high status in the entire West.

Because owls have a great relationship with the goddess of wisdom Athena, and there is a legend that owls are Athena's favorite birds, so owls have not only become Athena's sacred bird, but are also engraved on coins and are given the title of a symbol of wisdom.

Owls are slightly better in England, but they have a very high status in Hera and Athens. They are also sacred birds, sacred birds, and guardian gods.

It is precisely because of this that although there are little owl couples in Han Li's vast peach garden, their status and symbol in England are far less high than that of crows.

There are some things that crows can do, but if owls do them, they may be driven away or killed. This is why Han Li asked the Saker Falcon and the Peregrine Falcon to catch crows.

However, what Han Li did not expect was that these crows in Renton were very large, a circle larger than those in the Four Nine City, and their temperaments were also more ferocious.

Therefore, they caught a lot of Saker Falcons and Peregrine Falcons, but only four of them were healthy and alive.

However, four crows were enough for Han Li for the time being. If they were not enough, he would just catch more.

The next day, after breakfast, Han Li boarded the train to the Ascot Jockey Club.

Because it was an annual event, there were many people on the train, and most of them were from other countries. The carriage was also full of languages ​​from various places.

These were nothing. Han Li felt the excitement when he arrived at the location.

The horse racing at this time of year lasted for five days, and today was two days away from the official start of the race.

Although the racecourse was not open yet, many businesses had gathered around it, as well as some fashionable and beautiful men and women.

There was a long queue in front of the ticket window. The ordinary ticket, that is, the standing ticket, cost 60 British pounds each, and the seated ticket cost 90 British pounds each.

As for the VIP area tickets, they were not sold to the public at all. Those places were reserved for the Queen and members of the royal family.

Of course, those seats are the best way for the Queen and the royal family to win people over. Every year, they will give them to nobles with titles in the country, some wealthy businessmen, officials from other countries and influential businessmen.

It was very unfortunate for Han Li that he did not buy the first-hand package tickets from those private bars.

It was not because the other party had money but did not make money, nor was it because Han Li did not wear a custom suit made by a famous tailor.

And this year, the Queen's favorite horse "Dunfulan" will participate in this horse race, so the Queen will also come to watch in person, and security and other things have been improved by a level compared with previous years.

Moreover, all the seats in the private bar were reserved half a month ago by those downtrodden nobles and businessmen who had no confidence that they could get an invitation from the royal family.

In addition, the housekeeper of the private bar also reminded Han Li that even ordinary tickets must be bought quickly, otherwise he might not even be able to buy a standing ticket in the end.

This situation made Han Li leave with a curse in his heart, and turned to line up at the ticket window, and bought all the tickets for 18 games in five consecutive days.

Then, Han Li came to the horse racing betting window opened next to it.

Han Li only learned some peripheral things from horse racing books and newspapers. If he relied on this information to make money, it would be harder than climbing to the sky.

Han Li didn't want to fall into a trap because of this little money, so it was better to be safe.

However, this year the Queen's favorite horse will compete, so its winning rate will definitely be very high.

If the Queen was afraid of damaging the dignity of the royal family, the result of this game might have been predetermined in advance.

Therefore, Han Li only needs to bet on the "Dunfulan" horse, and he also bet and increase the bet.

If Han Li can bet this time, he is expected to get a prize of 1 million British pounds.

If Han Li has the opportunity to see those racehorses from a distance, he is confident that he can take the bet with odds of 5.5 million this time.

But that is all imagination. Now Han Li no longer thinks that he has the opportunity to see those racehorses before the game starts.

After Han Li got everything done, the situation around the racecourse is different from before.

Originally there were only some small stalls and small companies, but now the stalls of big companies have also expanded.

The most people are around the small stalls and food trucks, where they sell French fries, beer, drinks and the like.

But for most people, this horse race is a place to relax and expand their social circle, which is enough for them.

The situation in front of the booths of those big companies is slightly different. In addition to various promotional slogans, the various ingredients and drinks here are more high-end, and some booths will provide tourists with a drink for free.

Moreover, compared with the guests in the small booths, the men sitting here are more formally dressed, and the women are more fashionable, open and casual.

But the functions of these two places are the same, the difference is that they receive and make friends with different people.

At the same time, more people came here, but Han Li couldn't take care of visiting these booths for the time being, and he didn't have the mood to chat with those beauties who came here to show themselves and find shortcuts in life.

Han Li now has to hurry to book a comfortable and spacious hotel, otherwise he is afraid that he will end up living in a room that can only fit a bed, a sofa and can't take a shower.

The most important thing is that Han Li is still a little unwilling to give up, he wants to book a hotel close to the racecourse.

Even if Han Li couldn't go there in person, he could still get a rough idea of ​​the place through crows and owls.

Han Li did find such a hotel, but when he booked a room, he saw a woman who looked familiar, good-looking, and had a sexy figure.
