Chapter 609: President's Entrustment

EMI not only shows live-action movies, but also animated movies, including a Japanese cartoon called Spirited Away.

Chihiro, a 10-year-old girl, moved from the city to the countryside with her parents. Unexpectedly, on the way to move, the family went astray for a super-shortcut and got lost. They entered a strange world, a paradise where "gods" take vacations.

Ordinary restaurants open during the day and close at night, but in that world they open at night and close during the day. There are restaurants everywhere, with a lot of delicious food, but the most magnificent is the hot spring hotel run by Grandma Tang.

The Japanese are also trying to spread their own culture, such as cherry blossoms, hot springs and cartoons.

Werewolf biting is not only about reproduction, but also a way of life. Why can’t we eat raw meat if we can accept eating sashimi?

The way of life is not only the demand of biological instinct, but also the guidance of culture. The same is eating, primitive people drink blood like hair, modern people fry and fry, Bill eats the very raw steak, even many British people can't accept it.

Cooking food is primarily to eliminate bacteria and parasites. Parasites were found in the female corpses in the Mawangdui Han Tomb. Sashimi was introduced to Japan from China. There is an idiom called kuaikou, in which kuai refers to yu kuai. At that time, Chinese people still ate freshwater fish rather than seawater fish.

According to the autopsy of the Mawangdui Han Tomb, Mrs. Xin Zhui's gallstones were caused by improper diet, and the incarceration of the stones caused an acute attack of biliary colic, which then triggered coronary artery spasm, aggravated myocardial hypoxia, and eventually died suddenly, and parasites It doesn't matter.

Obscure and Obscure are parasitic, and the curse on Pomona is also related to "parasitic".

After nightfall, Chinatown feels like an "amusement park" in the world of Spirited Away, and there are restaurants for supper at night. Both of them were hungry after watching the movie, so they didn't go in when they passed by a Japanese restaurant, and went to a "Hu Ji" restaurant instead.

That store is very strange, the signboard in Chinese characters is Hu, but the signboard in English is WU, and it sells Cantonese dim sum.

Shrimp dumplings, siu mai, char siew buns, and thousand-layer cakes, each of which is only a little bit, and the cart pushed by the elderly waitress is full of steamers. Pomona somehow feels that she and the Hogwarts Express are selling magic. Candy Witch is a lot like that.

Next to the Hufflepuff lounge is the kitchen. Everyone is hungry in the middle of the night, and it is very convenient to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

If you don't want your waistline to get bigger and bigger, the best way is to control your mouth, but the shrimp dumplings are so delicious that Pomona ate three cages by herself.

Severus looked at her with a disgusted look on her mouth full of oil, but he didn't tell her that if she gained weight, he didn't want her like Rhett did.

Slytherin is too hypocritical, the first rule of the house is to be elegant at all times, of course, including table manners, Hufflepuff does not chat when eating like Gryffindor-everyone is busy eating hard, who If you have time to chat, what should you do if the delicious food is eaten up by others?

A Hufflepuff who is not a "gourmet" is not a good Hufflepuff. When he feels a little full after eating, Hufflepuff's dining table will chat in a low voice. Before that, there is no prehistoric power to stop it Badgers eat.

"Oh, my God, it's so delicious!" Pomona was so happy that she almost shed tears, how could there be such delicious dumplings!

"Don't sing here." Severus said with a stiff face, "I won't go out to dinner with you if you dare to sing."

Pomona then stomped her feet, she just wanted to sing an aria to praise the shrimp dumplings!

It used to be a very hard work of staying up all night, but now it has become a date. Slytherin is this cunning, accurately calculates the workload, and never wastes it. The last time they went to Beihai was to fight a life-and-death battle. This time they expanded The result of the battle, why go to the North Sea to blow the cold wind?

Although they have changed their appearance by deception, it is generally seen that this is a combination of a beautiful woman and an ugly man. Pomona inexplicably feels that she looks very much like Scarlett and Rhett who were honeymooning in Orleans.

She felt happy, and food was one of her rare passions, just like Albus's sweet tooth.

What's the point of living if even this fun is taken away?

She couldn't help but close her eyes, letting her senses focus on the tip of her tongue. Some people like to close their eyes when they drink alcohol and listen to music. This is how she enjoys "art".

Hahaha, vegans, can they understand the fun?

"Good evening, sir and madam." At this moment, she suddenly heard someone speaking in front of her.

She slowly opened her eyes and found that it was Mr. Lin, the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?"

"Please sit down." Severus said politely, "Mr. Lin is still not home so late?"

"Something happened, come and deal with it." Mr. Lin sighed, "Some people leave their hometown because there is no future they want. It’s different from what I imagined, just now the immigration bureau raided my friend’s factory, and I told him not to use illegal immigrants.”

"Is there a black factory in Chinatown?" Pomona asked.

"No." Mr. Lin said firmly, "absolutely not."

Pomona glanced at the waiters and cooks who worked overtime in the middle of the night, and said nothing.

"The current police is much better than my great-grandfather's generation. Have you two heard of the city of Salem?"

Pomona suddenly felt that the shrimp dumpling in her mouth was no longer delicious.

"I've heard of it." Severus said cautiously, "Why does Mr. Lin mention it?"

"My great-grandfather went to the United States in the early years. It was the era of the great American railway. He and many fellow countrymen went to Oregon to repair the railway. After the railway was repaired, they started business in Salem. The foreman at the time said Chinese. With such a small body, how could it be possible to complete such heavy labor. Later, a man named Benjamin said that we built the Great Wall, and of course Chinese people should be used to build it. My great-grandfather had studied for several years and knew how to calculate and read. He did not compete with others. We built the railway together, and later when Hongmen came, someone asked him to help. At that time, we had to compete with the Portuguese, Mexicans, and Japanese for territory. We used the railway as a boundary and separated from the white people. On the surface, everyone made tea rooms and laundry However, the American police colluded with the white people to make things difficult for us. Sometimes, some people secretly set fire to our houses, but no one cared about them. They just wanted to force us to close down so that white people could do business. "Mr. Lin paused suddenly when he said this. He was so emotional just now that he forgot that there were two white men sitting in front of him.

Severus smiled at him. "We don't get involved in Muggle disputes."

"No...that's not the case." Mr. Lin was drenched in sweat, and continued, "In order to store things and prepare for escape, all the shops facing the street have dug underground caves. The people from Hongmen have come, let us link these tunnels Get up, do... the business of smuggling gold, the largest gold mine at that time was in California, and the gold diggers fought for an inch of mining land. We don't ask where the gold comes from, as long as we give it to us For what they want, my great-grandfather used to work in the vaults in the center building, which had a speakeasy, and he'd seen people like you."

"I can't believe it." Severus smiled and shook his head. "You mean there's an underground Chinatown under our feet?"

"The United States does have them. I don't know if the UK has them. I also immigrated to the UK with my father later."

"Why do you want to immigrate?"

After Pomona asked, Severus slapped the back of the head.

"What are you doing?" she asked pitifully, touching the place being photographed.

"Use your clever mind." Severus scooped her a glance, then continued to look at Mr. Lin, "You didn't say that at the dinner table that day?"

"At that time there was a pony, and I was just a small businessman. Achangdu respected him very much. If I said something that offended him, I would die without knowing it." Mr. Lin sighed, "Something strange happened in that dungeon later. A lot of murals were added overnight. At first I thought it was a prank. Then people kept disappearing. We asked the wandering Taoist priest to see it. He told us not to continue using these tunnels and move them away as soon as possible. Now the city has become farmland. gone."

"Do you suspect that those disappearances are related to the Salem Witch Trials?" Pomona asked as if she was enlightened.

"It's not a suspicion, those women who died tragically turned into ghosts to claim their lives." Mr. Lin said with a pale face, "I heard that there are also people missing in the London subway now, can you two investigate it so that I can sleep peacefully. "

Pomona looked at Severus, who was looking at Mr. Lin thoughtfully.

Although the final investigation of the Salem trial was caused by eating flour containing ergot bacteria by mistake, no one thought that those wronged witches would come to revenge after their death.

The Chinese believe in ghosts, and there is such a mysterious phenomenon as the Mawangdui Han Tomb. Although the female corpse did not cause a bizarre murder like Tutankhamun's curse, it is still full of mysteries.

Pomona never imagined that Salem would have something to do with Chinese people. Fate is such a wonderful thing.
