Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 42 Zhang Xiao's Tableware

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

This made Malfoy wonder for a while whether he had picked up a bag full of Galleons, and even Professor Flitwick couldn't help adding 1 point to him during class.

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

When it was finally time for lunch, Malfoy could no longer hold back and asked:

"Zhang, did you drink pumpkin juice mixed with low-quality euphoria this morning?"

Malfoy asks because of Professor Snape, who regularly threatens students of all grades (mainly Gryffindors) in his classroom.

Said to mix the "garbage" they cooked into pumpkin juice for them to drink.

It just so happened that the students in grade 3 just practiced brewing the euphoria potion yesterday.

Zhang Xiao didn't answer, but pulled Malfoy to the place 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 after getting used to it.

Malfoy followed Zhang Xiao and sat down with a puzzled face. He said worriedly:

"Zhang, our confinement is about to begin, and that's the Forbidden Forest! The Forbidden Forest!
My father also wrote to Dumbledore, but he completely ignored my father's negotiations and insisted on asking students to abide by the school's system.

What a stubborn old man he is!you say"

Malfoy's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed to something that suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Xiao incoherently and asked:
"What's going on here? Why is the thing in front of you different from us? How did you do it?"

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

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

The white and delicate ivory chopstick handles are engraved with intricate patterns and filled with brushed gold. These hundred-year-old chopsticks are the most inconspicuous of the set.

The plate of tomato scrambled eggs is blue and white in Yuan Dynasty. There is no way.

The small bowls containing the rice were porcelain bowls from Ru Kiln, but there was no other way, the emperor of the Song Dynasty also gave a lot of them.

The soup bowls are colorful, and the main one is colorful. There is no way, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also gave a lot.

Originally, Zhang Xiao always gave a complete set of tableware, but the elves' aesthetics have always been weird, and they probably matched them according to their preferences.

This is not a big problem, anyway, it is comfortable to eat home-cooked food.

Malfoy's eyes almost popped out, England's pursuit of Chinese porcelain has almost continued into modern times.

They are also the country that plunders the most cultural relics, and Japan is no match for this second father. Although the wizarding world did not participate in it, the division between wizards and Muggles was not too strong before the Secrecy Act.

The pursuit of porcelain and silk by the Muggle nobles also affected this group of wizards. Of course, Malfoy could see the exquisiteness of these porcelains with his eyesight.

Similarly, there were many children from other wealthy families in Slytherin. They stared at Zhang Xiao's tableware and completely different food, discussing in low voices.

Some of the purebloods who chose to cooperate with Longhushan expressed joy and appreciation, while the other part of the hostile ones expressed jealousy and displeasure.

This place is different from the East, there is no market for subtlety and modesty, only a high-profile and appropriate display of strength will reassure them.

Just like Zhang Xiao's outstanding performance, the confidence of those purebloods attached to him will be greater.

Voldemort understood this psychology very well.

If he has always been low-key and humble, he will smile subtly when he sees people, "Just call me Xiaofu or Xiaotang."

Which pure blood is stupid will follow him.

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

Malfoy pursed his lips, nodded embarrassingly, and asked enviously:

"Where did you buy all these porcelains? I also have very beautiful porcelains at home, which are precious bone china, but I think yours is even more beautiful!
There is a kind of oriental beauty! "

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

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

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

"Hush! This is a topic that cannot be said, but you are right, we still have contact with the Muggle dignitaries. My mother told me that many things in the family were transported from the Muggle society.

You know, the Wizarding Secrecy Act! "

Zhang Xiao nodded. The news did not surprise him. The wizarding society in England was too small to operate as an independent and closed society.

According to estimates, the entire British wizarding society will not exceed 3 people (Note 1)

So contact with Muggle society is almost inevitable.

Tapping his tableware lightly with chopsticks, he said seriously:
"Draco, tell your family, if you can persuade the Muggle dignitaries to return 100 pieces of cultural relics looted from the Chinese Muggles, the scene must be big, and I will give you a set of this Yuan blue and white."

Malfoy was taken aback, he stammered:

"You are so strong, how can someone steal something from you?"

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

"It's not easy for us to intervene in the affairs of Muggle society, let me just say this, you have gained a lot of money, do you know how much this set of Yuan blue and white is worth?

It's hard to define in Galleons, but tens of millions of pounds is easy to convert into pounds. "

That's right, the premise is that Daomen doesn't take out its own inventory and let the market plunge.

tens of millions!Malfoy's face was flushed, he really didn't understand the relationship between Gallon and Pound, but he learned one thing from the occasional 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 trading method in private.

Magic items are settled in galleons, and other things are settled in pounds sterling!
Zhang Xiao's idea is much simpler, Yuan blue and white flowers are worthless to them, but right now the motherland is still at a low ebb.

If the British dignitaries make a big move to return the cultural relics, it will surely boost the morale and confidence of the people in their hometown.

As for secretly stealing the British Museum with magic power, he has never thought about such a thing, either he should return it all honestly, or put it there as a shame!
Malfoy thought for a while, and decided to write a letter to his parents to ask later. He looked at Zhang Xiao's tableware in a daze.

I just feel that the world is full of absurdities.

Someone actually eats with things worth tens of millions of pounds? ? ?
Soon, Zhang's tableware and meals spread among the young wizards.

1. Recommended ticket 2. Monthly ticket
--------------------------

Note 1: Aunt Luo set the number of British wizards to be about 3000, oh, this bad math!

I have always thought that the lives of pure-bloods should be very interesting, but it is a pity that the perspective of the original book has never paid attention to this aspect.

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