In fact, in China in this era, the penetration rate of telephones was not high, at least far less than that of developed countries like the United Kingdom.
But even so, China's magical society has already taken the lead in introducing this Muggle technology, replacing the previous inefficient long-distance communication methods.
At this point, it is obvious that they are far more open and inclusive than the British Ministry of Magic.
Lu Changqing came to the old-fashioned telephone, took off the receiver, and turned the round dial a few times.
After waiting for a while, a voice came from the other side.
After a few words, Lu Changqing hung up the phone and said to everyone: "I have contacted Caiyun Jinli. They said they can go there at any time."
Liu Tao nodded and said to Glenn: "Xiao Lu will accompany you to Caiyun. If you need anything, you can talk to him at any time."
"Thank you! I'm sorry for causing trouble to you and Mr. Lu." Glenn thanked him quickly.
"You're welcome." Liu Tao smiled and shook his head, "It's still early now. Do you want to have lunch before setting off?"
Newt thought for a while and said with a smile: "I don't have any objections, but these two little guys are still in school, so it would be better to resolve the matter as soon as possible and return to Hogwarts as soon as possible."
Although Glenn still wanted to stay in his hometown for a while, as Newt said, it would be better to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
"That's fine," Liu Tao didn't hold him back anymore and asked Lu Changqing to take the three of them to the teleportation circle.
The teleportation array is located on the rooftop of the association's small building. Lu Changqing pinched a Dow finger on his hand and lightly swiped it twice in the center of the rooftop. The golden ring on his middle finger lit up slightly, and the array carved on the ground immediately flashed silver-blue. of light.
The light rotated and spread, and soon transformed into an arch.
"Let's go." Lu Changqing said softly, and then walked into the deep door first.
Newt waved his hand, motioning for Glenn and Autumn to go first.
Glenn took Qiu's hand and walked in with some curiosity.
China's teleportation circle was completely different from the Portkey and Apparition he was familiar with, and he was almost unaware of it.Taking one step forward, I felt the light flashing slightly in front of my eyes, and I reached my destination the moment my steps landed.
In terms of comfort during the journey, if portkeys and Phantom Transition are like hard seats and standing tickets on a green train, then Fox's teleportation magic should be considered a high-speed rail business seat. As for this portal, it should be comparable to first class on an airplane. Class or business class.
In the blink of an eye, Qiu and Newt, who were following Glenn, also passed through the teleportation arch and came to Lu Changqing.
"This is the office of the Caiyun Province Magic Association. This is Mr. Zhang Yan, the director of the office." Lu Changqing waved his hand to close the teleportation circle and introduced to the three of them.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang! I'm really sorry for interrupting you so hastily." Glenn bowed.
Zhang Yan looks to be in his forties, middle-aged. Like Lu Changqing, he also wears a Mao suit, but the color is slightly different.
"No need to be formal." He said with a smile, "If I guess correctly, this pretty little girl is Xiaoqiu, right? Your father Zhang Long and I are the same generation, so you should call me uncle."
"Uncle Yan." Seeing that he was so enthusiastic about her, Qiu called him what he said.
Zhang Yan nodded towards her with a smile, then looked at Newt and said: "This must be the famous Mr. Scamander, right? I have heard from my ancestors since I was a child that he was the one who thwarted traitors at the International Federation of Magic." I’ve said it countless times.”
His English level was not very high, so he simply spoke Chinese. Fortunately, Lu Changqing was there, and both Glenn and Qiu could act as translators, so the two of them could not communicate at the same level.
When he heard the other person complimenting him, Newt took the initiative to shake his hand and said a few words of modesty.
"I just communicated with the clan. My father heard about Xiaoqiu's arrival and has already started preparations for the blood ceremony. It will officially start tomorrow. You can go back with me and settle down first."
Jinli Mountain, also known as Cangshan Mountain, is located on the west side of Erhai Lake. (Private)
The ancestral home of the Zhang family is located on Yingle Peak on the east side of Jinli Mountain. It can directly see Erhai Lake. There is a stream on both sides of the mountain peak, which are called Yinxian Stream and Meixi respectively.
When everyone arrived, the contemporary patriarch was waiting at the door to greet them. He was wearing a black gown and showed a bit of immortality.
In terms of age, this old patriarch should be the same generation as Qiu's grandfather.
"Mr. Scamander, this is my father, Zhang Zhifeng, and the current patriarch of the Caiyun Zhang family." Zhang Yan introduced a few people as he let them in.
After everyone exchanged greetings, the old patriarch's eyes fell on Qiu.
"After decades of not seeing each other, Zhiyue's grandchildren are now grown up girls!" He said with emotion, unable to hide the longing in his eyes.
Qiu's grandfather, Zhang Zhiyue, was the younger brother of the old patriarch. He went to the West alone to make a living. In the blink of an eye, nearly 40 years have passed.
If it weren't for this chance coincidence, the two families of the same clan would probably never have the chance to meet again.
"If it weren't for my grandfather's support, I'm afraid my parents wouldn't have agreed to come to China this time." Qiu took out a letter from his small bag and handed it to the old patriarch with both hands. "Before leaving, my grandfather told me many times that we must Let me put this letter into your hands."
The old patriarch looked at the four words "Eldest Brother" written with a calligraphy pen on the envelope, and tears flashed for a moment.
He did not tear open the envelope, but just put the letter close to his body, then took a deep breath, put on a smile and said: "Xiao Qiu's blood ceremony still needs me to prepare, the rooms are ready, and the distinguished guests can rest for half a day. You can also just take a stroll.”
Time soon came to evening, and Zhang Yan came again to invite everyone to the reception banquet.
Caiyun is also a place for gourmet food, and the dishes on the table will make many people move their index fingers.
Steam pot chicken, Shiping tofu, honey ham...
Of course, there are also various fungi that people in Caiyun Province love most.
Although this thing tastes good and has high nutritional value, it has a big problem - it is easy to catch villains while lying on the bed if you are not careful.A large number of cases like this are seen in Muggle hospitals in Caiyun Province every year.
Glenn hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't muster the courage to try.
Qiu, on the other hand, was obviously very interested in these dishes. I don't know if it was because of the bonus of Qing Geng blood in her body.
As for Newt...
This guy is busy adding sugar to his Pu'er tea.
This operation successfully attracted the shocked gazes of everyone in the Zhang family. Glenn looked away in embarrassment and lowered his head to eat the food. He had dug out a three-story villa with an underground garage at his feet.
This is nothing more than a waste of natural resources.
But even so, China's magical society has already taken the lead in introducing this Muggle technology, replacing the previous inefficient long-distance communication methods.
