Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 582 The girl's mother came to her door



Thick snow covered the snow-capped mountains to the north, the roofs of every building in Hogsmeade, and the clearings around the village.The thick clouds in the sky have disappeared without a trace, and the setting sun spreads over the land, creating a scene of Yuanchi Orange Cat.

On a large open space in the direction of Hogwarts, a huge exhibition tent has appeared.At this moment, people are constantly coming in and out at the door of the tent. They are either carrying goods, or holding stacks of posters to paste in designated places.

Not far away, the residents of Hogsmeade and the off-duty Ministry of Magic staff gathered together, sometimes pointing at the exhibition tent and the stage being built in front of the tent door, and sometimes expressing curiosity with a little excitement. The tone is discussing the various posters on the wall.

In the exhibition tent with expanded space, there are several areas of different sizes that sell different types of products, and in these areas, they are divided into booths of different specifications.In the deepest part of the tent is the office area for the staff.

In a cubicle in the office area, Zhang Xu was sitting behind a desk writing hard.After a long time, he put down the pen in his hand, picked up the manuscript paper on the table to check it, and then stretched out his hand to the side.At this time, a staff member from the embassy came to support and handed a programmable calculator to Zhang Xu, and then Zhang Xu began to input the program on the manuscript paper into the calculator.

Everyone who comes to the UK to do business has a very serious problem, and that is the currency conversion problem on the side of the British wizarding world.The currency here is the galleon of gold, the sickle of silver, and the nat of bronze.And 1 Galleon is 17 Sikels and 493 Nats, and 1 Sickles is 29 Nats. This can make businessmen who are used to decimal rounded cents hang themselves.

In the past, everyone was in the wholesale business, and for the convenience of calculation, everyone just erased a fraction.But now there are also retail outlets, so it's not easy to wipe off the odds.

Therefore, the easiest way everyone thought of was to urgently buy a batch of programmable calculators back, and then let Zhang Xu write a program to calculate Gallon, Sike, and Nat, and finally input the program into the calculator and send it to all the merchants. use.After a long time, Zhang Xu finished inputting the calculation program, found a random set of numbers and tested it, but an error occurred.

When the setting sun outside was hidden behind the high mountains, and the sky full of stars appeared in the night, he finally tossed the calculation program.I haven't used the basic language for a long time, and it turned out to be overturned today.

After writing the latest version of the program on paper and handing it to the staff, Zhang Xu went to the cafeteria to order a bowl of noodles, and the follow-up work was completed by the relevant staff, and he would come to help if there was an emergency.

After finishing his Muggle studies class this afternoon, he rushed over to fiddle with the calculator without dinner. Fortunately, he had eaten enough roast lamb in the dungeon before, otherwise he must be very hungry now.

After eating the noodles, Zhang Xu came to another office. Mr. Zhao was also sitting behind the desk, but he was thinking hard with a pen.

Seeing Zhang Xu coming in, Mr. Zhao put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his brows and said, "I've eaten."

Zhang Xu nodded, and replied: "I'm done with work, and I've eaten too. Do you have any tasks for me later?"

"Our side will be gone in a while." Mr. Zhao said while pouring tea for himself, "But someone from Scrimgeour sent a message,

Go there if you have time. "

"Then I'll be free later." Zhang Xu found a chair and sat down, "I saw you had such a headache just now, what important national affairs are you thinking about?"

"Write a report." Mr. Zhao put down the empty teacup, "I told them that Brother Xiangyu once said that certain laws of material production are also applicable to spiritual production. If it is overdone, spiritual production will also be damaged , or even more damage. But they kept urging me to report it."

"But what he said next was that some manuscripts have to be rushed." Zhang Xujiong said with spirit, "You can still quote scriptures when you procrastinate. Don't you old man often boast that you don't write drafts during the palace examination, and your pen is like a dragon. Is it done overnight?"

"That's why Shuping became the No. [-] scholar," said a Qing scholar.

After learning that he had no mission tonight, Zhang Xu stopped bothering the boss, and left after bragging for a while.

Thinking about it, after a few days of running-in, the cooperation between the wizards of the two countries has been on the right track, and he is no longer needed to communicate and coordinate in the middle. For a while, Zhang was actually idle.

Moreover, Mr. Delacour, who came to the UK on behalf of the French Ministry of Magic and wanted to make money from everyone, returned to France today after talking about the business, so Fleur decided to go home with her father by the way. After running back to Europe for so long, no I can't justify going home.

Zhang Xu, who had nothing to do, didn't want to go to Hogwarts to correct the students' homework so early, so he came to the booth of his own industry to help.It's just that when he was helping to assemble the shelves, he found that his family looked at him strangely.Zhang Xu suddenly remembered that someone told him at noon today that something was going to happen tonight, so he couldn't help but become vigilant.

It was 10:30, the work of the day was over, and Zhang Xu followed his family back to the settlement in Hogsmeade for supper.

The original property of the Lestrange family here was later obtained by Zhang through some means, and then he used this property and Neville's relatives to replace the Zhang family building on the north side.This time a large group of people came to the house, so Zhang Xu contacted his relatives through Neville and rented this small building for the family to stay.

When the family returned to the small building, Zhang Xu found that there was no supper. Instead, the family sat neatly in the living room, and then looked at their own house, which was boiling water to prepare tea. There were three meetings momentum.

Zhang Xu, who didn't understand the situation, decided not to change, and entered the obedient cub mode on the day of the parents' meeting.

But those who should come will still come, and the first to speak is Zhang Xu's grandfather.

Zhang Feng took a sip of the Tieguanyin that Zhang Xu handed over, moistened his throat and said, "Xiaojiajia, I have something to ask you."

Zhang Xu was startled. Grandpa's tone was the same as when he came back from the parents' meeting before.

"What's the matter, Grandpa?" the well-behaved Zhang Xiaowanzi asked.

"What's the matter with those two little Indian girls?" Zhang Feng asked, "The mother of the family has come to the door. I heard that you have prepared a large amount of pocket money for the family."

Zhang Xu's face immediately changed when he heard this.
