Harry Potter’s Morning Light
Chapter 632: "Oriental Restaurant"
Chapter 632 "Oriental Restaurant"
Night is the best time to watch fireworks. Chinese people have always had the habit of setting fireworks during the New Year. Before the dragon dance performance started, many people in the street loved to put fairy sticks.
The Muggle fireworks are not as novel as the Weasley’s trick shop fireworks, but the meteor-like sparks from the top of the fairy stick are still very beautiful. The bolder children were playing with firecrackers that could not emit shining sparks, but could release loud noises. The restaurants along the street were full of seats, and the street was filled with the smell of food and gunpowder.
It's just that the light from the red lantern makes the whole street shrouded in an uneasy blood red.
Not all tourists come to Chinatown, but there are also employees working in the nearby financial city.
French cuisine is the pinnacle of international cuisine. The art of eating and drinking can only be enjoyed in restaurants. It is often necessary to dress well in French restaurants.
Chinese food is difficult to get rid of the status of cheap fast food in the United States. Chinese food is of higher grade 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 get off work and line up to pack Chinese food for takeout.
These Chinese foods have basically been localized beyond recognition. The taste of French restaurants is not much worse than that of France, but Chinese dishes are basically not related to the authentic tastes of China.
If you want to eat authentic Chinese food, you need to go to restaurants where Chinese people go. Most Chinese who are engaged in Chinese food overseas have not received formal training and advanced studies in Chinese catering. Most of them are self-taught, inheriting family business and apprenticeship. Among them is a store called Zhonghua Lou. The customers inside took off the hand-cut formal clothes outside, and put on a shirt to order with the menu.
The black menu is for novices and the red menu is for connoisseurs. The ground floor is open to tourists. Old customers with Chinese faces go to the underground. I heard that there is a store hidden among so many restaurants. When paying the bill You must be careful. Customers also have to look at the menu by themselves, because the person in charge of the cash register is the gray-haired old man. An "accidentally" old-eyed or confused person will count more money. If you are not careful, you can easily be "slaughtered" by others. .
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 enclosure during the day does not seem to have any impact on the business of the shops, and there are even more people than there were during the parade at 10 o'clock in the morning.
For the werewolves, the pedestrians are just like the fresh seafood in the restaurant. Coupled with the cash at the checkout counter, what other place is more suitable for "small turmoil" than Chinatown?
The East has a magical charm for the British. Western civilization believes that people will go to heaven or **** after death, while "Eastern" countries such as Egypt and China believe that the human soul will reincarnate, from one body to another. Perhaps the principle of Voldemort's resurrection also originated from the "East".
For some “hard-working people”, sleep is also a waste of time. Excessive sleep is indeed the case, but if even normal sleep and rest are regarded as a waste, then something must be wrong with this person.
Justinian was once regarded as the birth of the devil, because there are legends that he hardly sleeps and rests.
Leonardo reduced his sleep time as much as possible. Some people say that geniuses and lunatics are a fine line between them. Now 90% of people say Leonardo is versatile, but if someone copies his sleep method, more than 90% Of people will become lunatics.
The reason why people are people rather than gods is because people need food and sleep. These two things can make people remember to stay humble. Sleeping and forgetting sounds like a hard work and praiseworthy thing, but it will make people anxious and easy to be anxious for a long time. Angry, irritable, and full of aggressiveness, just like wild animals that stay on alert at all times, it is difficult to get along with normal people in peace.
Soldiers who have participated in wars are prone to encounter this problem. It is difficult for him to fall asleep. He is either a little disturbed or awakened by a nightmare. The first thing he does when he wakes up is to find a gun or other weapon that can attack people. It's dangerous to be in the same room with this kind of person.
In view of the fact that the majority of men participated in the war, women are more likely to be hurt by their husbands.
Severus’ battlefield syndrome is a nightmare, and Harry doesn’t know what Pomona is. A girl as gentle as Cho Chang may not be able to deal with it. Only a strong girl like Ginny can deal with him.
The invincible king's sword needs a matching scabbard. Sometimes women are stronger than men.
There is a kind of "vase" in this world that doesn't know anything but screams when encountering a horror scene. Many beautiful heroines in horror movies 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 straight into the darkness and terror.
A witch with a magic wand is essentially the same as a Muggle woman with a gun. Scarlett sold the wood to the "invader" Yankee to rebuild Atlanta to survive. She shot and killed the deserter who broke into Tyra. survive. In Muggle fairy tales, there are always so many princesses waiting for princes and knights to save. Why can't the princess find a way to save herself?
Rather than encountering misfortune, being a victim and being pityed by others, "she" is more willing to become a strong one.
Whatever it is, you can learn as long as you can make "she" stronger.
Poetry and tea art are very elegant and can show up in the Grand View Garden, but they will not allow Miaoyu to resist or even save her life in the face of robbers and looting. She becomes a victim and eventually corpses by the sea.
This is the Dream of Red Mansions that Pomona read. It is different from the vast majority of women in the world who have read the sad relationship between Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai. She always pays attention to strange places. Sometimes she really feels pretty good. Crazy.
She patrolled the neighbourhood she was responsible for while eating the meat tongs she bought in a roadside restaurant. She wanted to go to St. Mungo to bring back the pile of cockroaches. Birds and snakes are not afraid of werewolf's bites, but she is Not that dry.
Draco needs it more than she does. Besides, Draco has been taking care of it all this time. The wayward little master now also has a playmate.
It seems difficult for a person to guard a street, but she has magical plants to help. As long as she lifts the bricks on the ground and sprinkles the seeds of the magical plants, it will grow up as quickly as the vines in "Jack and the Magic Bean". , I don’t know whether Pomona can lead to the giant country in the sky, but it can still cover the entire block. Anyway, she is not as eager to use as Umbridge.
Just as she was passing by a supermarket, a familiar person passed by her.
The man was wearing gold-wire glasses and brought a lot of silver ingots to his apartment in South Kensington a few days ago. He looked solemn, as if something difficult had happened.
Pomona hesitated for a moment, and followed her curiosity.
He quickly turned into an alley, Pomona quickly took out the invisibility cloak and put it on, then cast a silent curse on herself, and hurriedly followed.
About a minute’s walk, to the depths of the alley, a small shop opened under a red brick building. Almost all the Chinese signs in Chinatown have no neon lights. This is another weird place for them. Obviously they will be used in Hong Kong and Guangdong. Neon lights serve as signs.
The person looked around suspiciously, knocked on the door with a strange rhythm, and immediately opened a small hole in the door, revealing a pair of vigilant eyes.
"It's me." The spectacle man said.
Soon the observation port was closed again, and then the door was opened. Standing at the door was a super big guy. The man with glasses immediately drew in and the big guy closed the door immediately.
After he entered, Pomona looked up at the sign of the store, which was a "family fun" hotel.
Pocao Bar not only runs a bar but also a hotel, but Pomona feels that it is difficult to prosper a hotel in such an inaccessible place.
She took out the magic wand, knocked on the door just like the man just now, and the observation hole opened again.
"Fainted to the ground." She whispered with her magic wand pointed at the person's eyes. A red light was emitted from the end of the wand, and those horrible eyes immediately rolled to the ground, and Pomona used it again. The Arajou Cave spell opened the door.
After passing a dark and narrow corridor, she came to the first floor of the hotel. The floor was carpeted, and many people sat on the ground and smoked "shisha."
There is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. There is a light emitting a warm yellow light on it. Several people are playing cards around a table.
"Laodou is gone, you still have the mind to play!" A man said angrily.
"What a mess?"
Then the two began to speak Cantonese, but Pomona couldn't understand a word.
When she turned around and was about to leave, she heard a name "Wen Jiachang". Severus said that Mr. Wen was called "Wen Jingchang". She always thought that Mr. Wen's name was very strange. "Jing" is generally used by women. , "Jiachang" is much more reasonable. Family and everything are prosperous, and Chinese people's feelings for "home" are deeply ingrained.
"How did you change Jiachang to Jingchang?" Pomona murmured. Severus clearly learned the spells well. No matter how complicated the pronunciation is, he can speak Chinese so badly.
Pomona listened to it for a long time and still didn't hear it, so she simply stopped listening.
She returned the same way, woke up the janitor, then opened the door and went out.
Before she walked out of the alley, loud drums came from the street, and the fire dragon performance began.
At the same time, she heard a stern wolf howling behind her again, and she turned her head subconsciously.
The voice reminded her of Anubis in Egyptian mythology, a **** with the head of a jackal.
Jackal is a common decaying wild dog. Anubis was regarded by the Egyptians as the guardian of the dead on the journey to the afterlife. In addition, he also had the duty to weigh people's hearts with a balance.
Although the Greeks and ancient Romans mostly contemptuous of Egyptian gods with animal heads, Anubis sometimes also contacts the heavenly Sirius, Cerberus, and Hades.
Compared to the black cat, the black dog is the real sign of death. Severus always called Sirius Black a stupid dog, as if he had forgotten how powerful the Black family curse was.
She really wanted to ask him who is the real stupid talent! ?
