Harry Potter’s Morning Light

Chapter 859: stay low profile



  Chapter 859 Keep a low profile

  After listening to the church concert, their lunch was eaten in a restaurant with Tiffany blue umbrellas.

  This place looks very retro, like an old subway station. People who enter and exit here are also well-dressed, which is very different from the restaurant where the gondola boatmen ate not far away.

  The boatman’s lunch is mostly meat. After all, punting requires physical strength. In this restaurant, vegetarian and seafood are mainly served. From the price of the dishes, this seems to be a "Localeat" restaurant.

  Tiffany Blue is not created out of thin air, this color is actually the color of a robin eggshell.

  There is a nursery rhyme in the United Kingdom about who killed the robin. All the animals in the song have a share, but they all mourned for it at the funeral.

  Following the song, the next person to be tried in the Birds Court will be the sparrow. It is not as gorgeous as a robin, but does that mean it can escape the fate of death? Will it become the second "robin"?

If it were Albus, he would definitely not come to this store, but Severus is "dating" with her now. The potion master has always been able to make money. Knowledge has changed his life. He has Not the kid who lives in the slum.

  "Stop using your handbag." After ordering the food, he said, "The luxury bag is very eye-catching. Think about why you were robbed."

   "I have removed the above sign."

  "Thieves who know the goods don’t look at the logo. They can see the brand, treasure or counterfeit by looking at the materials and patterns. If you want to buy a handbag, we will go elsewhere in the afternoon."

"where to?"

  "São Paulo area, Lucius knows a cobbler there. He used to work at Hermès, and now he works on his own. His craftsmanship is good, and many people buy it from him."

  Pomona began to quickly translate what he said.

  Real wealthy people are very low-key. They don’t wear trademarked clothes and shoes to attract thieves everywhere. The craftsmanship is still Hermès craftsmanship. Only people who know the goods can see how much their shoes cost.

   "How much are a pair of shoes?" she asked numbly.

   "I'm going to make shoe molds today. It may be a bit more expensive. You don't need to worry about the money." He confidently said to her, "When we buy shoes, let's go see the house."

"what?"

  "If Draco goes to Venice in the future, he can live with us. If we didn’t save Lorraine this time, we would also live in the hotel. We don’t have to buy it on the main island. The houses in the suburbs of Venice are also very good."

   "I think the money should be spent where it should be used."

   "How do you think the Malfoys real estate company started? Don't look at things like Albus Dumbledore. He is not popular at all, so it depends on the two of us to socialize."

  The locals all have ancestral houses, but the first thing that outsiders have to face is to find a place to stay.

  Some locals own three or four houses per person. When outsiders are still working hard from scratch, they are already living by collecting rent.

  These properties were bought by the locals from generation to generation, passed down through the method of inheritance, and it was only through the struggle of many people.

  However, outsiders can’t see this. They are just jealous of the richness and meanness of the "landlord wife". During the witch hunt that year, the old landlord wife, like Kepler's mother, was often falsely accused.

  When it comes to renting a house, it seems that everyone has an annoying landlord living in their minds.

The house makes people feel friendly, but the landlord does not necessarily make people friendly, especially the landlord who keeps rising prices and drove people away without paying the rent, as if she was going to drive away outsiders and prevent them from staying in her own city. .

Compared with real rich foreigners, the "landlord" who has many houses does not necessarily have money. If she is really rich, she will hire someone to negotiate with the tenants and manage the property. Place to go on vacation.

She doesn’t have that much money. Rent collection is her only income. Tenants think she has a high monthly income, but the consumption in big cities is also high. 2000 Euro is a high salary in developing countries, but it is just ordinary income in the local area. At this level, this meal and lunch cost more than 200 euros, and ordinary engineers can't afford it.

Consumption in London is also higher than in Manchester and Derbyshire. Even if Molly lives in Black’s old house without spending money, Arthur’s salary cannot make Weasley’s children and wealthy children want to buy anything. buy what.

The Weasleys are notoriously poorly dressed. Molly’s waistline is often laughed at by women from aristocratic families, but Molly is much happier than them. At least Arthur will go home every night unless she has to work overtime. Their husbands are often absent, and God knows what they are doing.

  Pomona looked at Severus. He looked at her as if expecting to be praised.

  Siris has many attendants in school, but his true friend is only James.

  Severus was bullied by his classmates, and the only friend who could really talk was Lucius Malfoy.

  One true friend is enough. She used to be his friend, and now his "wife", men are afraid that women will look down on him.

  After weighing the pros and cons, she smiled and said to him, "How do you know I want to buy a house in Venice?"

  "You like this city very much, even more than me. After the Floo network is set up, we can often come to Venice for vacation." He said happily.

   "You really know me." She smirked and said, "But are we the two of us to see it?"

   "I have an appointment with an agent, and he will take us to see it."

  "When did you make an appointment?"

   "The first day we came to Venice, you took me around the city." He squinted at her. "You put the clue in the whistleblower report box?"

"Do you like it?"

   "You are such an evil witch," he said as if drunk, and then leaned in and kissed her.

  Mistresses like to spend money, and men also indulge them. It is not that they are stupid, but that they enjoy the process of squandering and freely controlling money. After all, "abstinence" has been too long.

   But after this desire was satisfied, the mistress's way of spending money like water made him unbearable, but for the sake of face, he still had to hold on.

  The smart woman wants to divorce him at this time to avoid being dragged down by his debts, and his mind is not clear.

  If you make a wrong choice, you will have to bear the consequences. The King of France lost his country and his head, let alone a small person who got rich overnight because of good luck.

  Some beliefs can be rational, and modest spending is allowed. I'm afraid that the kind of indiscriminate spending without knowing the moderation, how much money can be scattered.

  After having lunch, they went to the GMEINER leather goods store where the legendary celebrity flew to buy it. It is also run by a woman like the one in Diagon Alley. The name of the store is the name of the owner.

  The tailor-made shoes need to be made of special wooden molds. She measured all the sizes of their feet. It cost 3,000 Euros per person to make the molds.

  She is so mad and distressed.

  After choosing the style of the shoes, they chose a leather travel bag, which can be used not only for women but also for men. Pomona can carry it on his back if he doesn’t want to carry it, and he doesn’t look embarrassing to hold it.

  When she was in Chinatown, she saw that Asian boys had the habit of carrying bags to their girlfriends. How much courage does it take?

  The bag is dark brown coarse leather, with a simple and unpretentious appearance, and the seams are invisible, but after she uses the expansion curse to move the greenhouse inside, this is her "Garden of Eden".

   "Do you like it?" Severus asked.

  She nodded repeatedly, "I think I am like Newt Scamander now."

  The author of "Where are Fantastic Beasts" who dropped out of school is Hefpaff's "superstar", although he is a "weird" in the eyes of other colleges, especially Slytherin.

  Life will always find his own way out. Newt dropped out of school halfway through and gained both fame and fortune. Those who “get through” graduation are not necessarily “winners”.

   "Don't learn from that weirdo." Severus warned her as expected.

  But she was too lazy to listen to what he said, holding his arm, and continued to wander around Venice in the rain.
