Hogwarts: Don't you all have the God's Eye?

After a casual stroll for a while, Qiu Zhang brought Andy to Fusco's ice cream shop and ordered a raspberry-flavored ice cream with thick cream on top.

Qiu Zhang took out a list with all the things Andy needed to buy: "Let me see, cauldron, textbooks, two sets of school uniforms and robes, wands, hats, gloves, etc. There are a lot of things to buy. I didn't expect that I have to buy these things again after I passed the first grade."

"I think it's better for us to go to Flourish and Blotts first. It's closer. They also provide delivery services, so they can send the purchased textbooks directly to your home."

"You have a lot of books to buy. In addition to the fifth-grade textbooks, you also need to buy some basic magic books, such as first- and second-grade textbooks. They can teach you some basic spells."

"Then we will go to buy a wand. You must want to get your own wand quickly, right? After buying the wand, we won't be in a hurry. We can go all the way..."

She suddenly found that Andy was silent. She turned her head and looked over. Andy was staring at her with a somewhat amused expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Zhang blushed and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Andy said sincerely: "It's great to meet you, thank you, Qiu, without you, I don't know how to prepare these."

"Ah?!" Qiu Zhang quickly turned her head again, and Andy could only see the back of her head, "Really? Impossible... Andy, you can do it yourself."

Andy: "Why is your face so red?"

Qiu Zhang said: "It must be because of the weather. It's too hot today."

"Really? Okay." Andy looked down at his jacket and said nothing. He reached out to take the list from Qiu Zhang's hand and said, "But let's keep it simple, okay? No need to have any plans, we can just go into a store and buy things when we pass by. "

"I don't think it's necessary to buy the first-grade books. Qiu, do you still have your old books? If you are willing to lend them to me, then this fee can be saved."

"And the crucible, gloves and other items, I don't need to buy new ones."

Qiu Zhang said: "Of course it's okay to lend you. I have a lot of items I used before, but is it okay for you to use my old things?"

"Before leaving, Dad told me that he wanted me to buy the best for you. There is no need to save money for him. I think so too."

"You don't need to pay back this money, Andy, don't be too stressed."

"It doesn't matter at all." Andy said without any concern, "If possible, I'll use yours."

If these things are to be bought, it will also be a big expense.

Although Mr. Zhang said that he would sponsor all of his current tuition, how could Andy take advantage of this? Now he is staying at Qiu's house, so he can save as much as possible.

If there is a chance, Andy still has to find a way to make some money on his own. It would be best if he can pay back the money as soon as possible.

The final result of the discussion was that Andy omitted most of the items on the list, such as the crucible, dragon skin gloves, and textbooks for lower grades.

He could use Qiu Zhang's for all these, so there was no need to waste money.

This made today's trip to Diagon Alley extremely fast, and they didn't need to rush to buy everything again.

Qiu Zhang first took Andy to Madam Malkin's robe store and ordered two complete sets of four-season clothes for him, including school uniform robes, leather shoes, wool sweaters, shirts and scarves.

Madam Malkin tapped Andy with her wand, and several sets of measuring tapes placed next to her naturally flew up and floated to Andy to measure his size.

There were also several different styles of clothes flying to Andy, and the styles were made according to his body shape.

Andy standing on the measuring table made others' eyes light up.

Andy was originally very handsome, with handsome eyebrows and sharp features. His half-long black hair was combed up, and matched with the robes in the store, he immediately had an elegant and noble texture.

Before, Andy wore a jacket and jeans, which was very energetic, but looked too street.

Now he put on the robe and transformed himself into the handsome young wizard that many people imagined.

"Mr. Hall, what grade are you in this year? I have never seen you before." Madam Malkin, who was standing on the side, crossed her arms and looked Andy up and down with a smile in her eyes.

This look made Andy feel a chill.

I heard that Madam Malkin

She is a widow, and her husband has been dead for a long time.

"I usually keep a low profile. Thank you, ma'am. How much is it in total?"

Mrs. Mokin winked at Andy: "A total of 17 Galleons and 8 Sickles. I'll give you a discount, just 15 Galleons."

"The clothes will be delivered to your home when they are ready. Of course, you can come to the store to pick them up in person."

Qiu Zhang walked over expressionlessly, took out 15 gold coins, handed them to the other party, and then pulled Andy away: "Please send them to your home."

Mrs. Mokin could only look at Qiu Zhang and Andy's backs with disappointment as they walked out of her store.

After leaving Madam Malkin's shop, Andy asked, "17 Galleons? Is that expensive? I heard that the currency system in the magic world is quite chaotic."

"This price is actually okay, about the same price as what I paid at the time, but the currency system?" Qiu Zhang looked at Andy in shock, "You actually used such a high-level word to describe it."

Qiu Zhang briefly introduced that the actual currency system in the magic world is much more chaotic than Andy had imagined.

The currency in the magic world is generally divided into three types, gold Galleons, silver Sickles, and copper Knuts.

At present, it is still in the stage of physical currency, without paper money and no electronic payment.

1 Galleon can be exchanged for 17 Sickles, and 1 Sickle can be exchanged for 29 Knuts.

If you are suddenly asked to convert hundreds of Knuts into how many Galleons, just do it.

Andy thought about it and gave himself a question, but then found that he couldn't immediately calculate the answer in his mind.

Andy really didn't understand which genius came up with this weird exchange system that was not based on the decimal system.

In terms of actual purchasing power, 1 Galleon is about equal to 5 pounds.

If you need to exchange Galleons, you can go to Gringotts, the bank opened by the goblins in Diagon Alley, to exchange them.

In order to prevent bank runs, there is a limit on the number of Galleons that each person can exchange each year.

For example, Andy can only exchange less than 200 Galleons now.

Andy certainly doesn't need so much money, and there is no need.

According to Qiu Zhang, in actual operation, Andy can't exchange so many Galleons at one time.

The goblins will make things difficult for little wizards like him.

Because the goblins don't like pounds at all, and they don't like people coming to them to exchange their Galleons.

They only have to bear this responsibility because they have a contract with the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic has connections with the Muggle society.

As for the operation of Gringotts Bank, it is also very primitive.

Wizards can open their own personal vaults in Gringotts. This vault is a physical existence, built in the basement of Gringotts. It is said that there is a fire dragon guarding the vault.

The usual working scene of Gringotts is more like a medieval financial guild than a modern bank.

A group of goblins sat in the lobby of Gringotts, weighing, recording, and walking around the various currencies in front of them.

Andy, who saw all this with his own eyes, couldn't help but sigh.

This scene, how to say it, has a kind of wild beauty.
