Chapter 203 Chinatown and Cobra
·
Chu Ni Fan Wan
If you want to talk about where you can go shopping during Christmas... probably Chinatown.
It's been half a month since the Christmas holiday, and it's only been less than a week. There aren't that many stores that resumed business early, but Chinatown is different.
At the beginning, my grandparents chose to settle on Qiangwei Avenue because it was convenient to find the feeling of hometown anytime, anywhere, so I specially found this place that can walk to Chinatown in 10 minutes.
Sun Zhu and Fei Na held hands, looked around, passing by snack shops, grocery stores, clothing stores...
In fact, there are many such streets all over the UK, but this is the one she often visits.
Take Fina first to see if there is anything you want, and then go to Fina's grandmother's house, which is their entire plan for today.
During the holidays, all you want is to do whatever you want.
Fei Na was attracted by a stationery store that also sold the Four Treasures of the Study. Sun Zhu took a look and found that this store actually sold empty talisman paper with a yellow background.
Hey, is it because the frenzy of master Lin Zhengying's works has successfully reached Daiying?
Sun Zhu asked excitedly, and found that it seemed to be just the owner's personal preference.But the other party insisted on giving them some gifts because she successfully said Master Lin's name.
A stack of rice paper, two Jianhao brushes, a bottle of ink, and two white porcelain paperweights in the shape of rabbits.
But he couldn't refuse, so Sun Zhu had no choice but to accept it.After saying a lot of good words of blessing, with the entrustment of the shop owner "you can come here often in the future and remember to practice calligraphy well", she dragged Fina to the next shop.
When passing by another bookstore, Sun Zhu went over to say hello.She often searches for books here, and the picture album that Newt used to give to him belonged to his family.Once, in order to get close to bargaining, she chatted with the owner of the bookstore in her messy dialect. Later, she was puzzled by him and pointed out: "Little sister, are you from the south or the north? Why do you speak the language of any place?"
In his previous life, he only spoke Mandarin in reality, but Sun Zhu, who has learned a bunch of cyber dialects from all over the world on the Internet, hurriedly laughed: "Ah, I am...South, North...I am from China! Hehe..."
"Oh..." The owner of the bookstore didn't know what to do.
"Little sister, are you home from vacation? This is your classmate? Hey, they are all pretty girls." The shop owner boasted.
"Hee hee, Uncle Chen, Merry Christmas. I'm taking my classmates for a stroll. How's business going?"
In fact, she felt that Uncle Chen's accent was quite mixed, and she couldn't recognize where he was from.
"It's not bad, uncle doesn't rely on this for food. It's your elder sister Chen who said she would find me a job." Uncle Chen smiled, with joy in his wrinkles, "Did you read some books again? Give you half price!"
"It's no wonder you're not losing money by doing this!" Sun Zhu glanced at Fina who was nodding despite not being able to understand a word, "Can I save this half price for the next time I come here... You have to go elsewhere."
"You little girl is really cunning, who taught you that." Uncle Chen gave her a contemptuous look.
"Thank you, sir! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Goodbye, sir!"
Sun Zhu took Fei Na and ran away.
Fina was out of breath following her, and followed her all the way to a big Huaxia supermarket.
Sun Zhu crossed his hips and said to her: "Uncle Chen used to set up a bookstall in this supermarket, but now he has a separate store... His daughter must be making a lot of money!"
After all, she really didn't know if she could make money selling books or not.But she still has a little understanding of Uncle Chen's business level.
Books in British bookstores are very valuable, but Uncle Chen doesn't know this.He did this just to pass the time and find a confidant.
Sun Zhu was fortunate enough to become one of his "friends who forget the year" with his mouth full of tricks and deceptions.
"See if there is anything you want in this supermarket... Hey, yes, I really have something I want."
Fina nodded: "Can I pay the bill with Galleons?"
"There is a high probability that you can't... Just tell me what you like."
"Then I won't be polite to you."
"Buy some clothes or something? Or buy some food."
"Don't worry, it's so close to your home anyway. By the way, what did you just say you wanted to buy?"
"I'll look for it, I'm not sure if there's anything here..." Sun Zhu turned east and west, passed by one shelf after another, and finally found what he wanted.
"sunglasses!"
She picked up a pair of sunglasses and put them on her face, and saw that Fina in front of her seemed to have a question mark on her head, with a confused expression on her face.
"Hmm... is this Muggle fashion..."
"Fina, can you still see my eyes?"
"Of course... what are you going to do?"
Sun Zhu took off his sunglasses in frustration, and murmured, "It doesn't seem dark enough...and it's not big enough...the distance between the eyes is not right...Oh, it's not right anywhere! I took it for granted!"
"what?"
"Fina, tell me, what do cobra's glasses look like?"
"What is a cobra...?"
"It's a poisonous snake. It's not a snake with glasses." An old man with thinning hair wearing glasses passed by, suddenly interjected, and then drifted away.
Sun Zhu blinked, then turned his head to look at the back of his bald head, and said bitterly: "Damn it, you are actually despised by Muggles, and you are still a bald Muggle!"
Fina comforted: "Don't pay attention to him. What do you want to buy, go ask the shopping guide here?"
Sun Zhu put back the sunglasses in his hand, and said angrily: "Who said that a cobra can't be a snake with glasses? I said yes! Yes, not only wearing glasses, I also want him to wear sunglasses! Come on, let's ask here The clerk, is there any customized service?"
Fina shook her head and smiled, although she didn't know what Sun Zhu was talking about, she still kept up with her.
Meanwhile, in a house somewhere in the far southwest corner of England, an old man took off his glasses and wiped them.
"It seems that things are a bit complicated."
Sitting not far from him, another old man who was much younger than him, but still a little older, frowned and said, "How complicated? It's just that the progress is too smooth, it's just a bit strange."
"Would you like to read this letter?"
"Isn't this private? Who wrote it to you?"
"As long as you are sure to keep the relevant information secret... Well, Ms. Sun did not say that this matter cannot be told to other people, only that she cannot tell her father."
"What? Bamboo? Is this really about her?" Newt took the letter and read it quickly.
After a while, he raised his head, his brows furrowed deeper.
"Although Zhu said that she has to bear it all by herself...but I don't agree."
"Oh?" Dumbledore took a sip of his tea, "What do you mean?"
"I mean... for such a great contribution, you must give Hufflepuff extra points!"
