Harry Potter’s Morning Light
Chapter 597: Golden years
Chapter 597 In the Mood for Love
If the weather is bad, such as rain and snow, anyone would want to stay in a warm room. Who would want to stay in the open air?
Pomona closed "Dream of Red Mansions" and watched the rain outside the window. London was always rainy, which made people feel gloomy, but the tea restaurant was warm and warm.
It’s now approaching late night, during non-dining hours, the tea restaurant is still open, and customers can choose hot and cold beverages provided by the tea restaurant, such as coffee, various teas, juices, milk tea and so on.
Milk tea is not derived from British black tea with milk, nor from Chinese tea, but a daily drink of northern nomads. When traveling in Mongolia, Pomona and Severus were treated by locals.
They live in a tent called a yurt, but they still have many traces of modern civilization.
Those people are very kind and simple. It is hard to imagine that they were the descendants of the Mongols who almost conquered Europe.
The conditions of the yurts are not good or bad. Their fuel is not cow dung and hay, but also liquefied gas and briquettes. Most young people choose to stay. The older generation ride horses, and they sometimes graze on motorcycles. They can freely choose a piece of land equivalent to one hectare in the area designated by the government, and the ownership is permanent. And medical care and education are free. The national cultural education ranks 49th in the world. It is actually very easy to find a good job in Mongolia. Even if it does not require any technical content, it will be quite profitable if it is done well.
The yurts of the rich are very luxurious. They are almost immobile. In Stalin’s words, the Mongolians are a group of outliers among Asians. He will subvert all the impressions of Asians in Europe. They are the Asias most unlike Asians. people.
The common characteristic of Asians is diligence, but Mongolians are very leisurely. If a Mongolian is diligent enough, it is easy to get ahead in this country, but they are more willing to enjoy life. In a country where there are more animals than people, totem worship still exists. The vast majority of Mongolians believe in Tengger and wolves. In the three major historical works of Mongolia, it is written: Mongolians are a combination of gray wolves and white deer.
In the 11th century Mongolian plateau, the western part is grassland and desert steppe. There are Turkic people who use wolves as totems. The east is a small part of grassland and large-scale forests. There are Xianbei people who use deer as totems, who are good at ironware but neglect to train horses. About the latter part of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century, the two tribes had a political marriage. The main content is that a princess Xianbei married a Turkic prince. This marriage gradually merged the two tribes and became the predecessor of the Mongolian tribe.
Later, the Turkic prince who married Princess Xianbei came to the throne, and they gave birth to the first ancestor of the Mongolian tribe. In ancient legends, the combination of gray wolves and white deer, with the gray wolf as the father, means that the paternal lineage of the Mongolian tribe is inherited from this Turkic tribe with wolf as its totem.
The Inuit have the legend of Animagus, a white arctic fox turned into a girl, and spent a wonderful night of aurora with a lone hunter. The "vixie" is actually not that annoying, she just Just pay back.
The words of wolves rarely retaliate. The Chinese use Zhongshan wolves as a metaphor for those who avenge gratitude and ungrateful. When the new immigrants came to the New World, the Indians helped them and taught them how to survive in the New World, but what did the new immigrants give them back?
The United States is a wolf society, without the constraints of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, nor the constraints of Christian beliefs. The perception of sin is very weak, and there is no reverence for "natural punishment." Overflowing freedom, this is wolf nature, the more cruel the easier it is to rise above others, but the kind and innocent people that are too kind and innocent are easy to be eaten as food.
The warnings brought by the movie the day after tomorrow did not work at all. They still live in a wasteful way. The developed agriculture in the United States has resulted in not cherishing or even wasting food. If the Manhattan police followed the young man’s warning and stayed in the library, food was the primary problem they faced. Survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest, most people would freeze to death and starve to death on the migration road from New York. "The road has frozen bones" is like that.
Of course, you must use bullets to deal with wolves. It is a world that believes that there is no power in front of bullets. It is a paradise for adventurers and speculators. All civilizations and cultures in that furnace will be like Mongolian milk tea. The original tea leaves will be crushed , Put it in a white water pot and cook. After the tea is boiled, when the tea is thick, use a colander to remove the tea, then continue to cook for a while, and use the spoon to raise the tea while boiling. After it is concentrated, add an appropriate amount of fresh milk or milk powder. The tea is already No more, only a little...paradox.
The milk tea originated in Hong Kong is called "Western tea" to distinguish it from "Tang tea".
The Tang Empire also had a headache for the Turkic people who believed in wolves. Even the Anlu Mountain, which launched the Anshi Rebellion, was a mixture of Turks and Sogdians. Discrimination against race in that country is not as deep-rooted as in the West. The main contradiction is against the wealthy and the privileged. This is already ahead of other countries. There is also a lot of ethnic hatred, but it is mainly aimed at the near. Caused by the modern Manchus. Domestic dogs are also domesticated from wolves, and Turkic wolves are very loyal after being domesticated. When Tian Khan was buried, Turkic people died for others. For the Tang Dynasty, not only Chinese, but Asians have a "dream". Chinatown is called Chinatown. Why not Hanren Street or Mingren Street?
Even in terms of cultural and martial arts, the Tang Empire is not perfect, but it represents a kind of tolerance. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had Wei Zheng, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had Han Xiu. Civilians could bluntly admonish. Even if the emperor was half-dead by these officials, he still didn’t do anything to them. When the Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty came here, he could not listen to other people’s advice. The foreign ruler, Man Qing is far inferior to Li Tang of the Xianbei tribe.
Yongzheng had experienced the "Nine Dragons Seizing a Prophet". This man was not only cruel and mean to his fellow compatriots, but also ruthless to his neighbors. Nian Gengyao and Long Kedo were the most prominent examples. He was about to be like Hu Hai. It's just that Qin Shihuang was dead at the time, but Kangxi didn't. God knows if his wolf-hearted son killed his father like Emperor Sui Yang.
Filial piety is also a kind of gratitude. Thanks to parents for nurturing, the northern nomads generally do not. The decline of Turks and Mongolia is largely related to the wolf culture in the Turkic tribes. For the sake of fighting between brothers and blood relatives, Humans are like animals. Han Fei believes that all social relations are immersed in interest relations. He said: "The monarch is a beast, and the minister is a minister. The acquaintance of the monarch and the minister is the acquaintance of the monarch and the minister. For the sake of prosperity, the ruler is not good. The affection of the minister is harmful to the body; the affection of the emperor harms the country without relatives. The ruler and the minister are also the ones that are combined."
This kind of statement is very sad. Normal people think that in addition to interest relations, there are family, friendship, and love. This idea is very beautiful. People in big cities are very strange to each other. Who has time to talk about these "emotions" with a stranger? The most direct thing is the relationship of interest. The relationship of interest must be maintained by law. The relationship of human relations is indifferent, otherwise there will be no order in this reinforced concrete jungle.
In short, don’t think of yourself as a human being. If you think of yourself as a beast, you can do all the legal loopholes and speculation without your conscience. If you eat others as food, you will live much better than a conscientious person, but Your family lacks nothing but morality. When it is good, everything is fine. When it is bad, who will come to help?
Who helped the Tang Dynasty to quell the civil strife after the An-Shi Rebellion broke out? The Uighurs were also able to help the Tang people, and they ransacked Luoyang. If the nobles and wealthy people at that time were not so extravagant and extravagant, and paid the taxes that should be paid, the rewards that should be given to the soldiers who guarded the frontiers in the desert and the bitter cold north would not have that mutiny.
Compared with the bustling London, Liverpool is much more remote. If London is the jewel in the crown, then Liverpool is just a cushion for the crown.
Most people like the bustling city, the daily news and new ideas, and are not so interested in that abandoned city.
Pomona didn't know if Kingsley would arrange for the Auror to go there.
She took a sip of Hong Kong-style milk tea. Compared with English-style milk tea, Hong Kong-style milk tea is much richer. These black teas are imported from Sri Lanka.
During the day, there are many young people holding bubble milk tea in Chinatown. It is milk tea produced in Taiwan with tapioca balls. You can drink it while shopping and traveling. Hong Kong-style milk tea should be drunk in a booth.
A Hong Kong-style tea restaurant with a beautiful environment will definitely attach great importance to the placement of deck sofas and dining tables and chairs. This tea restaurant uses retro decoration, red soft sofas, and red and white checkered tablecloths on the table. There is a gilt rack for seasoning with salt and pepper.
Generally speaking, tea restaurants are not open 24 hours a day, because Hongmen wants to “do errands” and the neighbours can help as much as they can.
The hourly worker responsible for cleaning has gone, and a fat cat with three colors of yellow, white and black is leisurely patrolling her "territory". Pomona couldn't believe it and looked at that cat. How could it grow so fat?
At this moment, music sounded in the quiet tea restaurant. It was a very melodious and casual waltz. On the other side of the bar stood a man in colorful clothes.
"Have you heard this song?" Ma Youfeng asked.
"Do not."
"This is an episode of a movie, directed by Wong Kar Wai, starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung." He said as he walked over to her, "Dancing with your husband that day, did you like that song?"
"Husband?"
"Chinese means husband, can I sit here?" Ma Youyan asked, pointing to the deck opposite her.
"Please sit down." She didn't care to say, now the whole cafeteria is dark, only her is turned on. Under the warm light, this mysterious Oriental has a pair of shiny black eyes, and Severus That kind of hollow black is completely different, but it has the same power to attract people's souls.
"You haven't answered my question yet, do you like that song?" he asked after sitting down.
"I like it very much." She answered politely, hoping that she would be elegant and decent.
"Are you reading a Dream of Red Mansions?" He looked at the Chinese book in her hand and said.
"I have finished reading it, now it's a review."
"I don't like Cao Xueqin. To be precise, it is Jia Baoyu. I believe you should know that some people say that Jia Baoyu he wrote is his own incarnation, and the plots of those stories are personally experienced by him."
"I'm just looking for something to pass the time." She raised the tome in her hand, "All I can do now is wait."
"I didn't expect that one day we would become the target of werewolves." Ma Yujia took out a pack of 555 cigarettes, lit it, and began to vomit. "Your husband is so relieved to leave you alone?"
"I have also fought in wars, and I have dealt with werewolves alone." Pomona was a little unhappy and said, "The West is different from your East. Women are independent."
"Do you think I would not underestimate you when you say that?"
"No." She said uncomfortably, "Could you not mention him."
Ma Yourong laughed, his smile is not at all honest and simple as a Henan peasant.
"Do you know what you are drinking?"
"Hong Kong-style milk tea."
"It also has a name, silk stocking milk tea. The tea must be strong enough and the milk must be strong enough. The color of the tea will be the same as that of women’s stockings. No woman can drink anymore."
"Why do you say that?"
"Do you know how much men like women's stockings?" Ma Yurong smiled happily.
"Rogue." She cursed in a low voice.
"I was a gangster." He didn't care and shrugged. "Do you know what this movie is about?"
"What?" she asked in confusion.
"Wang Kar-wai's movie, Su Lizhen and Zhou Muyun, they are neighbors, and they are both married." Ma Youyan took a cigarette and slowly said, "Have you been to Shanghai?"
"No." She said straightforwardly.
"In Shanghai, there is a place where Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman once lived. There is a stocking milk tea that is very good. The first time I drank it, I asked grandma if you really used silk stockings to filter the tea. She told me, The silk stockings milk tea is not really filtered with silk stockings, but the color of the milk tea is like stockings. Zhou Muyun likes to lie on Su Lizhen's legs and caress her legs wearing silk stockings."
"You said they are all married..."
"Extramarital affairs." Ma Yujing smiled more ambiguously. "The men and women in the office are dressed brightly. They are both working and socializing. So I dislike women who come out to work. Your husband is very open to it."
"That's because we are different." Pomona picked up the book and was about to stand up, but Ma Yurong stopped her.
"Just kidding, why are you so stingy."
"Can this kind of joke be messed up?" She said angrily.
"Then what joke do you think you can make?" he asked jokingly.
Pomona opened the book, intending to continue to bury herself in the text.
"How about dancing with me?" Ma Yurong casually said, "Do you know how to dance a waltz?"
"I'm not interested." She refused fiercely.
"Can you still read the book?" The **** who disturbed others' reading was reluctant to ask.
"what the **** do you want?"
"Dance with me, I won’t disturb you if I dance."
"I have to be bad luck wherever I dance, don't mess up other people's business." She said helplessly.
"Without you, business can't go on." Ma Yurong looked at the rain outside the window and said, "How are those werewolves forced to do this?"
Pomona remembered the tent in the Forbidden Forest, and Remus, who was driven into a desperate situation by the Werewolf Act. If Albus hadn’t invited him to teach at Hogwarts, he might still be alive now, it’s just him. Will you still run into Tonks?
Love is a poison that can kill people.
But even if someone knows that it is a poison, someone still can’t help but tempted to drink it.
"It was Su Lizhen's husband who cheated first." Just as she was thinking, Ma Youyan put the cigarette **** into the milk tea she drank. "If one day you are bullied like her, you can be the same as Valentina. Come to me, I can help you get justice."
Pomona lost her ability to think for a while, and she didn't respond when he leaned in to give a face-up ceremony.
"I think we are friends now. If we are friends, we should help each other." He whispered in her ear, and then withdrew.
She watched him leave. After he left, Pomona waved her magic wand and destroyed the music-playing machine.
The retro-style tea restaurant immediately calmed down, only the floating cigarette butts on the milk tea proved that someone had been there just now.
