Chapter 632

Night is the best time to watch fireworks. Chinese people have always had the habit of setting off fireworks during Chinese New Year. Before the dragon dance show started, many people on the street loved to set off fairy wands.

Muggle fireworks aren't quite as fancy as those from Weasley's Wheezes, but those meteor-like sparks emanating from the tips of fairy wands are still pretty. The bolder children were playing with a kind of firecrackers that did not emit bright sparks, but released loud noises. The restaurants along the street were packed, and the street smelled of food and gunpowder.

It's just that the light from the red lantern made the whole street shrouded in uneasy blood red.

Not all the tourists who come to Chinatown are tourists, there are also employees who come off work from the nearby Financial City.

French cuisine is the pinnacle of international cooking, and it is an art of food that can only be enjoyed in restaurants. When you go to a French restaurant, you often have to be well-dressed.

Chinese food is hard to get rid of the status of cheap fast food in the United States. Chinese food is higher than Indian curry and Italian pizza, but it is not on the same level as French food. Therefore, there are many office workers in Chinatown who come home from work and line up to pack Chinese food.

These Chinese foods have basically been localized beyond recognition. The taste of French restaurants is not much worse than that of France, but Chinese food has basically no connection with authentic Chinese tastes.

If you want to eat authentic Chinese food, you have to go to Chinese restaurants. Most of the overseas Chinese engaged in Chinese food business have not received formal training and advanced education in Chinese food industry. Most of them are self-taught, inheriting family business and apprenticeship skills. Among them is a store called Zhonghualou, where customers take off their hand-cut formal suits and order dishes with menus in their shirts.

The black menu is for novices, and the red menu is for experts. The ground floor is open to tourists. Regular customers with Chinese faces go to the underground. I heard that there is a shop hidden among so many restaurants. When paying the bill You must be careful, customers have to look at the menu by themselves, because the person in charge of the cash register is an old man with gray hair. If you are "accidentally" old, dizzy or confused, you will count more money. If you are not careful, you can easily be "slaughtered" .

The "jianghu" mentioned in martial arts novels may be such a place. There are also street performers performing fire breathing and acrobatics on the street, which looks very lively.

The siege during the day does not seem to have any impact on the business of the shops, and there are even more people than when the parade took place at 10 o'clock in the morning.

For werewolves, those pedestrians are as much food as the raw seafood in the restaurant, plus the cash in the cash register, what better place to "make a little riot" than Chinatown?

The East has a magical fascination for the British, Western civilizations believe that people go to heaven or hell after death, while "Eastern" countries such as Egypt and China believe that the human soul is reincarnated, passing from one body to another , perhaps the principle of Voldemort's resurrection also originated from the "East".

Sleep is also a waste of time for some "hardworking people," and excessive sleep is true, but if even normal sleep and rest are seen as a waste, something is wrong with the person.

Justinian was once thought to be born of the devil, because legend has it that he hardly slept or rested.

Da Vinci minimized his sleep time. Some people say that there is a thin line between genius and madman. Now 90% of people will say that Da Vinci is all-rounder, but if someone copy his sleep method, more than 90% people will become lunatics.

The reason why man is man and not God is that man needs food and sleep. These two things can remind him to be humble. Forgetting sleep and eating sounds like a hard-working and commendable thing, but in the long run, it will make people anxious and prone to anxiety. Angry, irritable, full of aggression, like a wild animal on alert at all times, it is difficult to live in peace with normal people.

Soldiers who have participated in wars are easy to encounter this problem. It is difficult for him to fall asleep. He is either disturbed by a little trouble or awakened by a nightmare. The first thing he does after waking up is to find a gun or other weapons that can attack people. It is dangerous to be in the same room with such a person.

In view of the fact that most men participated in the war, the probability of women being hurt by their husbands is even greater.

Severus' battlefield syndrome was a nightmare, Harry's Pomona didn't know what Pomona was, and a gentle girl like Qiu Zhang might not be able to handle him, but only a strong girl like Ginny could handle him.

The invincible king's sword needs a matching scabbard, and sometimes women are stronger than men.

In this world, there is that kind of "vase" who can do nothing but scream when encountering a horror scene. In many horror movies, the beautiful heroines seem to have nothing but screaming and throwing arms at the hero-like hero. Worked.

But there are also brave and fearless women in this world who dare to look directly at the darkness and terror.

A witch with a wand is essentially no different from a Muggle woman with a gun. Scarlett sold wood to the "invaders" Yankees to rebuild Atlanta for survival, and she shot and killed deserters who broke into Terra for Survive. In Muggle fairy tales, there are always so many princesses waiting for princes and knights to save them. Why can't princesses find ways to save themselves?

Rather than encounter misfortune, become a victim and be pitied by others, "she" prefers to be a strong person.

No matter what it is, as long as it can make "her" stronger, you can learn it.

Although poetry and tea art are very elegant and can show off in the Grand View Garden, it does not allow Miaoyu to resist or even save her own life in the face of robbers. She became a victim and eventually died at the seaside.

This is Pomona's Dream of Red Mansions, which is different from most of the women in the world who have read Dream of Red Mansions and the triangular relationship between Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai. She always pays attention to strange things, and sometimes she really feels that she is quite crazy.

She was patrolling the neighborhood she was in charge of while eating the Roujiamo bought at a roadside restaurant. She originally wanted to go to St. Mungo's to bring back the pile of cockroaches. Birds and snakes are not afraid of werewolf bites, but she Not so dry.

Draco needed it more than she did, and besides, Draco had been taking care of it all this time, and the wayward young master now had a playmate.

It seems difficult to guard a street alone, but she has magic plants to help, as long as the bricks on the ground are lifted and the seeds of the magic plants are sprinkled, it will grow as fast as the vines in "Jack and the Beanstalk" , I don’t know if it can lead to Pomona, the kingdom of giants in the sky, but it is still possible to cover the entire block. Anyway, she is not as bossy as Umbridge.

Just as she was passing by a supermarket, a familiar person passed her by.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and had brought a lot of silver ingots to his apartment in South Kensington a few days ago. He looked dignified, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

Pomona hesitated for a moment, but followed her out of curiosity.

He quickly turned into an alley, and Pomona quickly took out the cloak of invisibility and put it on, cast a silent spell on herself, and hurriedly followed.

Walked for about a minute, and walked to the depths of the alley, and there was a small shop downstairs in a red brick building. Almost all the signs opened by the Chinese in Chinatown had no neon lights. This is their strange place, and they can be used in both Hong Kong and Guangdong. Neon signs as signs.

The man looked around suspiciously, knocked on the door with a strange rhythm, and a small hole was opened on the door, revealing a pair of vigilant eyes.

"It's me," said the man with glasses.

Soon the observation port was closed again, and then the door was opened. Standing at the door was a super big man. The man with glasses dodged in immediately, and the big man closed the door immediately.

After he entered, Pomona looked up at the signboard of the store. It was a "Family Fun" hotel.

The Leaky Cauldron operates not only a bar but also an inn, but Pomona feels that it is difficult for the inn to prosper in such an inaccessible place.

She took out her wand, knocked on the door like the man just now, and the observation hole opened again.

"Damned," she whispered, pointing her wand at the man's eyes, and a red light shot out from the end of the wand. The eyes, which had been terrible, rolled back and fell to the ground. Pomona used another The Arahho Cave Curse opened the door.

After passing through a dark and narrow corridor, she came to the first floor of the hotel. The floor was carpeted and many people were sitting on the ground smoking "hookah".

There is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor, above which there is a lamp emitting a warm yellow light, and several people are playing cards around a table.

"Old Dou is gone, you still want to play!" A man said angrily.

"What's the matter?"

Then the two started chatting in Cantonese, and Pomona couldn't understand a word.

Just when she turned around and was about to leave, she heard a name "Wen Jiachang". Severus said that Mr. Wen's name was "Wen Jingchang". She always thought Mr. Wen's name was very strange. "Jing" is usually used by women. , "Jiachang" is much more reasonable. Home and Wanshichang, the Chinese people's feelings for "home" are deeply rooted.

"How did you change Jiachang to Jingchang?" Pomona murmured, Severus obviously learned spells well, no matter how complicated the pronunciation is, he can't speak Chinese so badly.

After listening for a long time, Pomona still didn't understand why, so she simply stopped listening.

She went back the way she had come, woke the doorman, opened the door, and went out.

Before she could walk out of the alley, there was loud drumming from the street, and the fire dragon show began.

At the same time, she heard a howling wolf coming from behind, and she subconsciously turned her head away.

The voice reminded her of Anubis in Egyptian mythology, a god with the head of a jackal and the body of a man.

The jackal is a common carrion wild dog. Anubis was regarded by the Egyptians as the guardian of the dead on their journey to the afterlife. In addition, he also had the duty of weighing people's hearts with a balance.

While the Greeks and Romans mostly despised Egyptian gods with animal heads, Anubis was sometimes associated with the celestial Sirius, Cerberus, and Hades.

Compared with black cats, black dogs are the real harbinger of death. Severus always called Sirius Black a stupid dog, as if he had forgotten how powerful the curse of the Black family was.

She really wanted to ask him, who is the real fool! ?
