Chapter 859 Keep a low profile

After the church concert, they ate lunch in a restaurant with Tiffany blue umbrellas.

This place looks very retro, like an old subway station, and the people who come and go here are also well dressed, which is completely different from the restaurant where the gondola boatmen eat not far away.

The lunch of the boatman is mostly meat. After all, punting requires physical strength. This restaurant mainly serves vegetarian food and seafood. Judging from the price of the dishes, this restaurant seems to be a "local eat" restaurant.

Tiffany blue didn't just come out of nowhere, the color is actually the color of a robin's eggshell.

There's a nursery rhyme in England called Who Killed the Mockingbird, and all the animals have a part in it, but they all mourn for it at the funeral.

In the continuation of the song, the next one to stand trial in the court of birds will be the sparrow, which does not have as gorgeous eggs as the robin, but does that mean it can escape the fate of death? Will it become the second "robin"?

If it was Albus, he would definitely not come to this shop, but now she is "dating" Severus, the master of potions has always been very profitable, knowledge has changed his life, he has Not the kid who lived in the ghetto.

"Don't use your handbag." He said after ordering. "Luxury bags are very eye-catching. Think about why you were robbed."

"I've removed the sign above."

"Thieves who know the goods don't look at the logo, but can tell what brand it is by looking at the material and pattern, whether it is a treasure or a fake. If you want to buy a handbag, we will go to other places in the afternoon."

"where to?"

"In the St. Paul area, Lucius knows a cobbler there. He used to work for Hermès, and now he's working on his own. His craftsmanship is good, and many people buy from him."

Pomona began to quickly translate what he said.

The real rich people are very low-key. They don’t wear clothes and shoes with trademarks to attract thieves everywhere. The craftsmanship is still the craftsmanship of Hermès. Only those who know the goods can tell how much a pair of their shoes cost.

"How much is a pair of shoes?" she asked numbly.

"I'm going to make shoe models today. It might be a bit more expensive. You don't need to worry about money." He said to her confidently, "Let's go and see the house after we buy the shoes."

"What?"

"Draco can stay with us if he visits Venice in the future. If we hadn't saved Lorraine this time, we would also live in the hotel. We don't have to buy on the main island. The houses in the suburbs of Venice are also very good."

"I think money should be spent where it should be spent."

"How do you think the Malfoy family's real estate company started? Don't look at things in the way of Albus Dumbledore. He is not popular at all, so it depends on the two of us to socialize."

The locals all have ancestral houses, but the first thing for outsiders to go to the local area is to find a place to live.

Some locals have three or four houses per person. When foreigners are still working hard from scratch, they are already living on rent.

These real estates were also bought by local people from generation to generation, passed down through the method of inheritance, and only after the struggle of many people.

However, outsiders can’t see this, they just envy the wealth and meanness of the “landlady”. During the witch hunt, the old landlady was often falsely accused just like Kepler’s mother.

When it comes to renting, it seems like everyone has a nasty landlord on their mind.

The house makes people feel friendly, but the landlord is not necessarily friendly, especially the kind of landlord who keeps raising prices and evicts people without paying rent, as if she wants to drive away outsiders and prevent them from staying in their own city. .

Compared with the real rich people from outside, the "landlord" who has many houses is not necessarily rich. If she is really rich, she will hire someone to negotiate with the tenants and manage the property. Place to go on vacation.

She doesn’t have that much money, and rent collection is her only income. The tenant thinks her monthly income is high, but the consumption in big cities is also high. 2,000 euros is a high salary in developing countries, but it is only an ordinary income in the local area. At the same level, this lunch will cost more than 200 Euros, and ordinary engineers can't afford it.

The consumption in London is also higher than that in Manchester and Derbyshire. Even if Molly lives in Black’s old house without spending money, Arthur’s salary can’t make the children of the Weasley family buy whatever they want like the children of the rich. buy what.

The Weasley family is notorious for their tasteless clothes. Molly's waistline is often ridiculed by women in noble families, but Molly is much happier than them. At least Arthur will go home every night, unless he is working overtime. Their husbands are often away, God knows what they are doing.

Pomona looked at Severus, who looked at her as if he was expecting a compliment.

Sirius has many followers at school, but his real friend is only James.

Severus was bullied by his classmates, and the only friend who could really talk was Lucius Malfoy.

In fact, one true bosom friend is enough. She used to be his friend, but now he is his "wife". A man is afraid that women will look down on him.

After weighing the pros and cons, she smiled and said to him, "How do you know I want to buy a house in Venice?"

"You like this city very much, even more than me. After the Floo network is built, we can often come to Venice for vacation." He said happily.

"You really know me," she said with a smirk, "but just the two of us?"

"I made an appointment with an agent, and he will take us to see it."

"When did you have an appointment?"

"The first day we came to Venice, when you took me around the city." He squinted at her. "You put the clues in the witchcraft whistleblower box?"

"Do you like it?"

"You're a wicked witch," he said as if drunk, and leaned over to kiss her.

Mistresses like to spend money, and men also condone their squandering. It’s not that they are stupid, but they enjoy the process of squandering and disposing of money freely. After all, they have been “abstinent” for too long.

But after this desire was satisfied, he couldn't bear the mistress's way of spending money like water, but for the sake of face, he still had to persevere.

A smart woman wants to divorce him at this time to avoid being dragged down by his debts, and his mind is not clear.

If you make a wrong choice, you have to bear the consequences. The king of France lost his country and his head, let alone a little man who got rich overnight because of good luck.

A little faith can maintain rationality, and it is allowed to spend money in moderation, but I am afraid that the kind of money that does not know how to spend in moderation will lose all the money.

After having lunch, they went to the legendary GMEINER leather goods store where celebrities flew to buy. It is also run by a woman like the one in Diagon Alley, and the name of the store is the name of the owner.

Tailor-made shoes need special wooden molds. She has measured all the sizes of their feet, and it costs 3,000 euros per person just to make the molds.

She is so rich that she feels distressed.

After choosing the style of shoes, they chose a leather travel bag, which can be used not only by women but also by men. If Pomona doesn't want to carry it, she can carry it for him, and he won't look ashamed to carry it.

When she was in Chinatown, she saw that Asian boys had the habit of carrying bags for their girlfriends. How much courage does it take?

The bag was made of dark brown coarse leather, with an unpretentious appearance, and the seams were invisible, but after she used the expansion spell to move the greenhouse inside, this was her "Eden".

"Like it?" Severus asked.

She nodded repeatedly. "I feel like I'm like Newt Scamander now."

The author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them who dropped out of school was Hufflepuff's "superstar", although he was a "weird" in the eyes of other houses, especially Slytherin.

Life will always find its own way out. Newt dropped out of school and gained both fame and fortune. Those who "survive" graduation are not necessarily "winners".

"Don't be like that weirdo." Severus did warn her.

But she was too lazy to listen to what he said, took his arm and continued to wander in Venice in the rain.
