Chapter 601: Visiting the Exhibition (∫₁²3x²dx)
Just as Wales was guessing, the kitchen door opened.
"That's it, these basilisks aren't big enough yet, so their flesh is still very tender. So when you put it in the pan at first, you should move lightly, and don't touch it, otherwise the meat will crumble easily. After frying the meat and cooking it a little, you can shovel it up and turn it over the other side. If you want to cook faster, you can increase the heat a little, and turn it a few times frequently to avoid burning. Zhang opened the door and walked out while talking to Hood in the kitchen about how to fry basilisk meat, "Ah, you're back." I thought you would come back late, dinner wasn't ready yet, and there was something good you hadn't tasted. ”
The three people outside looked at each other awkwardly, and then went upstairs with their heads down and carrying today's loot.
"So the two of you are together all day today?"
After eating and drinking, the five of them sat on the sofa and chatted about today's harvest over tea, and as a result, someone discovered the New World.
"It turns out that I don't like to watch romance movies or anything, it's all an excuse to support us." Wales said affirmatively to Hood.
"Are you jealous?" Hood said, holding a teacup.
"You're just wandering around anyway." Wales "hehe" said, "He's really going to think about you, your children are starting to wean." ”
"But looking at the way you are red today, with a smile on your face all the time, it seems that something interesting has happened?" Rodney discovered something new.
Hood put down the teacup in his hand, moved and sat next to Zhang Xu, leaned on Zhang Xu's shoulder and said with a smile: "The two of us spent an unforgettable afternoon together. ”
Although Zhang knew that they were all making fun of themselves, he had gotten used to it in the past few years, and the others had eaten their own tofu like this when they were joking. In the past, he took advantage of it, such as now reaching out his little hand and gently wrapping his arms around Hood's waist or something like that. But it would be dangerous for the topic to continue now, especially if one of them didn't mind pushing herself.
"We just tested together in the proving ground in the afternoon." "She bought a few cars. ”
As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, he found Nelson and Rodney looking at him with pity.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Xu asked strangely.
"You know, all three of us grew up together." Nelson pointed to Rodney and Hood and said to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu nodded, he knew this.
"On her fourteenth birthday, she secretly drove the family car to take the two of us for a ride." Nelson continued, "That day was the first time I realized how close death was to us. ”
"My sister cried in the car that day." Rodney added on the sidelines.
"For the whole year that followed, she didn't dare to ride in the car at all, and she trembled as soon as she got in the car." Nelson pointed to Rodney again.
"She never hits the brakes except to park!"
"She never just stepped on the gas!"
"She never slows down when she turns!"
"She's never obeyed the rules of the road!"
……
In the criticism of the two old sisters, Zhang Xu nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Nelson, are you better?" Zhang Xu hurriedly changed the topic, and if he continued to talk, maybe he would have a psychological shadow on the car. Today he had the first chance to chat with Nelson since her injury.
Nelson shook his head and said, "Not good. After the eyeball was removed, although life was a little inconvenient at first, it was finally overcome with her help. ”
She pointed to Wales, which also had only one eye.
"It's just the cause of other complications, the overall recovery is very slow, and it can even be said that it has stalled. The result of yesterday's check was that my magic level was likely to fall off a cliff permanently. ”
Seeing Zhang Xu's nervous and concerned expression, Nelson smiled and continued: "It's okay, anyway, I've already submitted my retirement report." It's good to continue to open a coffee shop here in the future, but I originally promised someone else's things, and I have to go to someone else. ”
"Who's going to do it?" Hood, who was still eating his tofu next to Zhang Xu's shoulder, asked.
"If you change me, I think that job should be a good fit for me anyway." Rodney replied, "We met her this afternoon and told her about it, and she agreed. ”
Just when Zhang Xu wanted to ask for details, Hu De pointed at Zhang Xu and said, "Don't tell him what the specific thing is, give him a surprise when the time comes." ”
Zhang, who was blocked before he could speak, was very upset, so he quietly took revenge on Hood.
"By the way, do you two plan to install a new eye?" Zhang Xu said to Wales and Nelson, "There is a company in the medical exhibition area of the exhibition, which is said to have good results, and it is no problem to use it in daily life, and you can add some other functions if you need it." ”
"And that company's products are highly realistic, enough to be fake, not as ugly as the one 'Mad-Eyed' Moody's pretends."
"If it is combined with subsequent additional treatments, it will be no different from real eyes."
Wales, who was picking up a piece of cookie, was stunned for a moment, and then said quietly: "We went to see it, but the price is still too high to accept." And our health insurance obviously won't pay a penny for this. ”
Zhang Xu had nothing to say for a while, the manufacturing cost of this kind of high-magic product was not low, even if it was Moody's eyes, it was the Ministry of Magic that produced such a product with materials and Dumbledore's efforts. Because the market is not large, the high R&D expenses can only be allocated to a small number of users, and the overall cost cannot be reduced at all. In China, it is mainly through government subsidies that people who are injured in the line of duty can be installed free of charge. And those who need to install new eyes for their own reasons, even if they buy medical insurance and NCMS, the amount of money they have to pay is a lot of money. The two foreigners had to spend a lot of money to buy it at the original price.
"I'll give this money first." Zhang Xu continued to take the opportunity to clean up Garon, "When the time comes, you two can just pay it back slowly, and you don't want your interest." ”
"Huh!?" ×3
Not only Wales and Nelson, but even Rodney cried out in surprise. They don't think that Zhang Xu doesn't know the price of this prosthetic eye.
Even more surprised was Nelson, at first she thought that Zhang Xu was just saying this to the person next to her, and she knew that one of them wanted to have a leg with the other, but she knew about the attempt. It doesn't matter if they can't pay the money yet, at most, it's just that the leg has been completed.
But their own words...... The money in the family belongs to the family, and there are many places to spend money at home, but there is not much of your own share. In the past, the salary saved was limited, and the income was destined to not be too high if he continued to open a coffee shop here in the future. So as soon as she saw the price of the prosthetic eye, she had to give it up.
And her own relationship with Zhang Xu is only a good friend, in the past, she used to tease each other at most by relying on her psychological advantage that she was older than the other party, but both sides were also to the point, and nothing overly happened to the other.
And this money is not a small amount, far more than the scope of friends.
As for saying that the other party wanted to take this opportunity to snap himself, this idea only appeared for a moment and was thrown away. If he really had this mind, he would have attacked them a long time ago, instead of just playing with cats. You didn't see that the other one really wanted to snap him, and he was rejected when he sent it to the door. Not to mention the fact that the occupations of both parties make the line between the two sides clear from the beginning, and this line is permanent. As soon as you enter the spy door, it is as deep as the sea, and you can't get out completely by handing in a resignation report.
In a matter of seconds, Nelson's mind turned into a mess of cranky thoughts. She suddenly noticed that Rodney was looking at her with a strange expression, obviously thinking of herself. It's just that Hu De, who was sitting next to Zhang Xu, looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, Zhang Xu raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then said, "It's time, I'm going to the venue." You two will go directly to the company's booth tomorrow to make an appointment for treatment, I'll talk to them later, and I'll give them the money directly. ”
After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
“Every night in my dreams
I see you,I feel you”
When Zhang Xu came to the stage not far from the venue, the song of "My Heart ill Go On" floated over Hogsmeade.
With the efforts of a certain urban literary copyist, the Titanic, which should have sunk again a few days later, sank again a year ahead of schedule. So after the copyright issue was resolved with a phone call, "My Heart ill Go On", sung by Fleur's aunt, drifted into thousands of households in the European wizarding world through a live broadcast on Hogwarts radio.
There are too many slots in this matter, and Zhang has given up complaining.
I have to say that as the first day troupe in the European Wizarding World, the strength of the Meiwa Song and Dance Troupe is the top in the world. Even if you don't use Meiwa's own charm ability, the appearance level of the members alone is already at the level of disaster for the country and the people, not to mention that they are not vases, they are real strength in dancing and singing. When a group of people who could have easily eaten by their appearance went to make money with their abilities, the strength they showed was terrifying, and they were worthy of the big price they were invited.
It's a terrible thing to annoy the fans who are obsessed, so even if Zhang Xu knew that Furong and the others were arranged in the front row of seats on the stage, he could only give up the idea of squeezing over to find her.
At the end of the song, the two Fleur's cousins each walked onto the stage with a harp as tall as them.
As their long, white, slender fingers run over the strings, the melody of the 13th-century English folk song "Scarborough Market" flows like a spring in the mountains.
The singer slowly emerged from the center of the stage, and her sweet singing voice conquered the British audience in an instant.
Zhang Xu walked to a big stone in a clearing not far away and sat down, and in the melodious music, his thoughts had already flown into the distance.
