Wizards of the East at Hogwarts

Chapter 299

Li Ran raised his head, and the signboard of the antique shop only had the words 'recruiting fortune and treasure' written on it.To be honest, it doesn't sound like a store name.

It's not so much the name of the store, it's more like a horizontal batch, but I didn't see the upper and lower links.He turned his head to look at the left and right doorposts, and found that there was no upper and lower couplets posted on them. Maybe this is a unique name specially given by the boss?he thought to himself.

Seeing that his parents had already followed into the store, Li Ran shook his head, not thinking about what was there, and followed him across the threshold and into the store.

Entering the antique shop, the first thing that caught his eyes was the Eight Immortals Table in a third of the lobby. On the table was a statue of Guan Gong with crouching silkworm eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, red face and long beard.Two large characters are engraved on the table: Dijun. (Note 1)

After glancing twice, Li Ran turned his head to look at other places around him.He glanced over and found that they were all ordinary things, nothing special.

There was a clerk standing in the store, with a towel pinned to his back waist. He was wearing a short skirt and looked very strong. He had a simple and honest face, but it was a bit dark.

When the man saw Zhang Guodong coming in, he didn't say a word, he just stretched out his hand and gestured to Zhang Guodong. After Zhang Guodong saw it, he also responded with gestures.

Li Ran watched it for a long time before realizing that this guy probably had some physical disabilities.The two exchanged for a while, and the man nodded, then turned and walked directly to the backyard.Not long after, the rescued led an old man over from the backyard.

Li Ran looked at the old man slightly, and saw that the old man's white hair was neatly pulled back. His hairstyle was not much different from Zhang Guodong's, and he also had a big back.

Although the old man's hair has basically turned white, the other party's eyes are piercing, the old man's temples are slightly bulging, and there is still a goatee on his chin. When the old man walks, he sometimes takes out his hand , stroked the goatee on his chin.

The old man was wearing a black Tang suit, and one hand was constantly coiling a bunch of bracelets made of peach pits.It was the time when the setting sun was setting, and although the twilight of the setting sun was small, it still illuminated the lobby of the antique shop brightly.

Under the rays of the setting sun, the peach-pit bracelet in the old man's hand seemed to be glowing slightly.

"Principal Zhang, are you bringing new students here again?"

While speaking, the old man stroked his proud goatee again.

"Yes, let me introduce you. This is Li Ran, a freshman who is about to enter our school. These two are his parents, Li Ming and Zhang Yue." He was patted on the shoulder by Zhang Guodong, and then Zhang Guodong took With him and his parents walked in front of the old man.

"This is shopkeeper Hu from 'Zhaocaijinbao'. Li Ran, you can call him Grandpa Hu. If you meet him in the future, he will help you. He is a warm-hearted old man... This is 'Zhaocaijinbao' My buddy, everyone likes to call him Abba because he has some embarrassing things and can't speak... only Abba can speak out."

Zhang Guodong introduced Li Ran and his parents to the old man and Aba, the shop assistant who communicated with Zhang Guodong in sign language just now.

Aba seemed to know that Zhang Guodong was introducing himself, scratched the back of his head, and smiled shyly.The three of Li Ran shook hands with the old man and exchanged a few words of courtesy.

After Zhang Guodong finished his introduction, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch.Then they said to Li Ran and the three of them: "Three, there is still a while before the opening of Baoshi. You can wait here for a while and go shopping casually. I will chat with the old Hutou. Abba, you go and accompany Accompany these three guests."

Zhang Guodong didn't use sign language this time, but Aba nodded. Apparently, Aba should only have a problem with his mouth, and he could still hear what ordinary people said.

Aba nodded and made a set of gestures to the old man. The old man nodded and did not speak.

After watching the old man nod his head, Aba turned and walked towards Li Ran and the others. He reached out and took out a small notebook from his pocket, then took out a pen, and began to write on it.After writing for a while, he turned the notebook over and held it up so that Li Ran and the others could see the words on it.

"You three, sit here for a while, I'll pour you a cup of tea, take a rest first, and then I'll take you to the store, how about it?"

Then Li Ran saw Aba pointed to a nanmu table next to him, and looked at himself and his parents with a questioning look.Father Li smiled and said to Aba: "Please, Aba, then we will wait for you here."

After hearing this, Aba nodded, and after saying "Aba, Aba" a few times, he turned around and walked towards the back. After walking a few steps, he lifted the curtain and walked into the backyard.

Seeing this, the three of Li Ran pulled away the stool under the nanmu table and sat down.

After a while, Li Ran saw Aba walking over with a pot of tea in one hand and a plate in the other.

Aba first put down the plate and placed it in the middle of the nanmu table, then took out the tea sets on the plate one by one and placed them in front of the three of them, and finally slowly poured tea into the cups of the three of them.

As the tea is poured out, the whole room is instantly filled with the fragrance of tea, and the aroma is tangy.

Li Ran took a deep breath of the tea fragrance in the air, feeling his whole mind calmed down.Although he didn't understand tea at all in his previous life, he could tell that this tea was not ordinary tea just by the scent of tea in the air.

Not just tea.

Li Ran watched the buddy Aba's movements and gestures when pouring tea, which was very natural, giving people a feeling of comfort and enjoyment.He thought about it, and planned to see if he could ask Abba about tea in the future.Li Ran gently raised the teacup with his hands, blew the hot air on the teacup, and lowered his head to take a sip.

After swallowing a sip of tea, the aroma of the tea was still lingering in his nose, Li Ran felt a rush of hot air rushing straight to the top of his head, this sip of tea was really comforting for him.I don't know if it's because the tea is spiritual and rare, or because he hasn't tasted much tea.

Taking another sip, the warm tea seemed to contain some unknown power, which slowly nourished Li Ran's soul consciousness. At this moment, he felt his brain was sober, with so many inspirations, he wished he could do a set of advanced math papers on the spot .He closed his eyes and shook his head, and then couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "Good tea, after drinking it, it feels like nourishing the soul and clearing the mind."

Turning his head, he looked at his parents, and found that his father was shaking his head with his eyes closed just like himself. He tapped his fingers on the table, obviously enjoying it very much. The same was true for Li's mother, but instead of tapping on the table, he carefully moved the table. The teacup was held in front of him, and he closed his eyes to smell the tea fragrance coming from above.
