The next day until noon, Zhang Xiao had an expectant and happy smile on her face.

This made Malfoy wonder if he had picked up a bag full of gold Galleons, and even Professor Flitwick couldn't help but add 1 point to him during class.

The reason is that "in this hazy and cold weather, Zhang's cheerful smile warmed his mood." ”

When it was finally time for lunch, Malfoy couldn't help but ask:

"Zhang, you.. Did you drink pumpkin juice with inferior euphoria in the morning? ”

Malfoy asked because of Professor Snape, who often threatened students of all year levels (mostly Gryffindors) in class.

Said that they would mix the "garbage" they boiled into pumpkin juice for them to drink.

It just so happened that yesterday the Year 3 students had just practiced boiling the elixir.

Zhang Xiao didn't answer, but dragged Malfoy to the place where he often did, which was also an appointment he made with the elf.

Generally speaking, students have their own fixed place to eat, and they will not change it when they get used to it.

Malfoy sat down with Zhang Xiao with a puzzled face, and he said worriedly:

"Zhang, our confinement is about to begin, it's the Forbidden Forest! Forbidden Forest!

My dad also wrote to Dumbledore, but he ignored my dad's arguments and insisted on demanding that the students follow the school rules.

He's such an old stubborn! You say..."

Malfoy's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed incoherently at what suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Xiao and asked:

"It's... What's going on? How is the thing in front of you different from ours? How do you do it? ”

I saw that in front of Zhang Xiao, tableware that was completely different from other students suddenly appeared.

His things are all prepared by his parents, and naturally they are not ordinary tableware.

The delicate white ivory handle is carved with intricate patterns and filled with brushed gold, but these century-old chopsticks are the most inconspicuous of the entire set of utensils.

The plate of tomato scrambled eggs is Yuan blue and white, no way, the emperor sent a lot of them in the Yuan Dynasty, and less secular does not mean less in the Daomen.

The small bowl with rice was a porcelain bowl from Ru kiln, and there was no way, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty also sent a lot of it.

The soup bowl is Chenghua Doucai, the main one is a flowery green, no way, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also sent a lot.

Originally, Zhang Xiao was given a complete set of tableware, but the elves' aesthetics have always been strange, and it is estimated that they are matched according to their preferences.

It's not a big deal, and it's comfortable to be able to eat home-cooked food anyway.

Malfoy's eyes were almost out, and the British pursuit of Chinese porcelain continued almost into modern times.

They are also the country that plunders the most cultural relics, and Japan has not been compared to this second father, although the wizarding world is not involved in it, but before the secrecy law, wizards and Muggle cutting were not very powerful.

The Muggle nobility's preoccupation with porcelain and silk also affected the wizards, and Malfoy's eye could certainly tell how fine the porcelain was.

Similarly, there were many children from other wealthy families in Slytherin, staring at Zhang Xiao's cutlery and completely different foods, discussing in whispers.

Some of the purebloods who chose to cooperate with Dragon Tiger Mountain expressed joy and appreciation, while others expressed jealousy and displeasure.

Unlike the East, there is no market for subtlety and modesty, and a high-profile and appropriate display of strength will reassure them.

Just like the more outstanding Zhang Xiao's performance, the greater the confidence of those purebloods who are attached to him.

Voldemort understood this mentality very well.

If he has always been very low-key and modest, he will smile implicitly when he sees people, "Just call me Xiaofu or Xiaotang." ”

Which pure-blood would be stupid to follow him.

"Would you like some?" Zhang Xiao picked up the dinner plate and asked

Malfoy pursed his lips, nodded a little embarrassedly, and then asked enviously:

"Where did you buy all this porcelain? I also have very beautiful porcelain at home, which is precious bone china, but I think this one of yours is even more beautiful!

There is an oriental beauty! ”

Zhang Xiao divided a small half of the plate for Malfoy, thought for a while and asked:

"Draco, do you still have any contact with the Muggle magnates in your family?"

Malfoy immediately became nervous, he turned his head to look around, leaned over and asked in a low voice:

"Shhhh It's a topic that can't be said, but you're right, we still have contact with the Muggle elite, and my mother told me that a lot of things in the family were shipped from Muggle society.

You know, the Wizard Secrecy Law! ”

Zhang Xiao nodded, this news did not surprise him, the British wizarding society is too small, so small that it is difficult to run as an independent and closed society.

It is estimated that there will be no more than 30,000 people in the entire British wizarding community (Note 1)

So contact with Muggle society was almost inevitable.

Gently tapping his tableware with chopsticks, he said seriously:

"Draco, tell your family, if you can say that the Muggle magnates return 100 artifacts looted from Chinese Muggles, the scene must be big, and I will give you a set of this Yuan Qinghua."

Malfoy was taken aback, and he stammered:

"You're so strong, can someone snatch something from you?"

A hint of gloom flashed on Zhang Xiao's face, he shook his head and said vaguely:

"Muggle society, we don't want to meddle, I'll just say so, you guys are cheap, do you know how much this set of Yuan Qinghua is worth?

It's hard to define in gold galleons, but it's easy to convert it into tens of millions of pounds. ”

This is true, provided that Daomen does not take out its own inventory and let the market dive big.

Tens of millions! Malfoy's face flushed, he really couldn't understand the relationship between Galleon and Pound, but he knew something from the few words he heard from his parents.

That is, the purchasing power of the pound is also very strong! Even these purebloods secretly developed a new way of trading.

Magic items are settled in Galleons, and other things are in a two-track system in pounds!

Zhang Xiao's idea is much simpler, Yuan Qinghua is not worth much to them, but the motherland is still at a low point at this time.

If the British elite made a big move to return the cultural relics, it would surely boost the morale and confidence of the people in their hometown.

As for secretly stealing the British Museum with magical power, he never thought of such a thing, either he would honestly return it all, or put it there as a shame!

Malfoy thought for a while, but decided to write a letter to his parents later, and he looked at Zhang Xiao's eating utensils in a trance.

I just feel that the world is full of absurdities.

Someone actually eats with something worth tens of millions of pounds???

Soon, Zhang's cutlery and food spread among the little wizards.

1. Recommended ticket 2. Commuter pass

Note 1: Aunt Luo set herself about 3,000 wizards in England, oh, this bad math!

I've always thought that the lives of purebloods should be interesting, but unfortunately the perspective of the original book has never been taken seriously in this regard.

Based on the deduction of the original book, I think purebloods will never cut ties with Muggles, and secret contact is inevitable.
