Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

There is a small and exquisite hot spring hotel in a mountain in Kinosaki in northern Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. This hotel is not open to general tourists and only accepts guests who have made a reservation in advance.

The backstage owner of this hotel is a political broker who is active in Tokyo's political circles. The hot spring hotel he carefully built is a place where he makes deals with various politicians and businessmen.

It's just that the people staying here today are not the middle-aged and elderly successful people with young secretaries in the past, but Zhang Xu and his party. But in a sense, it can also be said that a young successful person brings his middle-aged secret ㄕ~ # ＄\u0026%? ￥

Because Zhang Xu had killed several hijackers on a passenger plane flying to Germany and saved all the passengers, including a Japanese high school student tour group, the families of these Japanese passengers wanted to thank Zhang Xu and invited them one after another. He would come to Japan when he had time so that they could show their kindness as landlords.

At that time, Zhang Xu, who had just returned to school and started striving for the college entrance examination, took the time to call Furong to discuss the itinerary for this summer vacation after receiving the invitation letter.

Because of that phone call, Zhang Xu's puppy love was exposed to the school leaders. For this reason, the director of the political and educational office also had a separate conversation with Zhang Xu. After two hours of conversation, the director of the political and educational office finally knew the reason why he was still single in his thirties.

After Zhang Xu completed his application, he took Furong and a large light bulb on his trip to Japan.

Zhang Xu was glad that the place he was hosting today was not Tangcun Hot Spring. Otherwise, Furong and Scarlet, who couldn't buy durian with skin, would have kicked him to the hot spring mouth and put potatoes, carrots, star anise, cinnamon, and incense into the water. Leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, dried chili peppers, and cooking wine in appropriate amounts. You know, the water temperature of that hot spring reaches 98°C.

It was already night at this time. Although it was already the end of July, the temperature in the mountains was slightly lower, which was considered a good time to soak in the hot springs.

There are maple trees around the hot spring and on the mountain opposite. If it is autumn, you can soak in the hot spring and enjoy the beautiful scenery of "frost leaves red as February flowers" all over the mountain.

Another pity is that it is not the season for eating Matsuba crabs, but the hairy crabs flown in from Soya and Tajima beef kaiseki dishes made Zhang Xu and the others' trip worthwhile.

In the past two days, Zhang Xu and his party visited Osaka Castle where Toyotomi Hideyoshi lived, the newly renovated castle tower, Tempozan Aquarium, the world's largest aquarium, and the Tempozan Ferris Wheel. So the rich man who was responsible for arranging their travel in Osaka arranged the last stop of the tired group's trip to Osaka here.

Since the venue is reserved,

Therefore, the movable partition in the hot spring that separates the male and female baths was thoughtfully put away by the hotel manager.

In the hot spring pool, Furong was sitting in the middle. Her whole body was red from the hot spring, which made Zhang Xu feel that she would be cooked if she soaked for a longer time.

"Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Furong asked Zhang Xu, who was sitting not far away.

"Go to Okinawa for two days tomorrow, and then transfer to Hong Kong to Paris." Zhang Xu replied.

"Is Hong Kong fun?" Furong asked, "It's a pity that I couldn't take leave during those few days and couldn't go."

"You'd better ask her." Zhang Xu pointed to someone who was sipping sake in the hot spring, "She's very familiar with that place."

"How about a day trip to the bottom of Victoria Bay?" Scarlet said after finishing the wine in the glass.

"Not very good." Zhang Xu shook his head fiercely.

At this moment, the cell phone that Fleur put aside rang again.

Furong turned around and picked up the phone, said a few words in French and then threw the phone to Zhang Xu.

"It's Potter," Fleur said.

"Hello, is it Harry?" Zhang Xu greeted the person on the other end after catching the phone.

"Zhang, where are you now?" Harry asked.

"I'm in Japan now and will go to the UK in a few days. What's wrong?" Zhang Xu replied.

"Now the Minister of Magic Scrimgeour is here. He has brought Dumbledore's will, in which Dumbledore has something to give you." Harry said on the other end of the phone.

"What is that?" Zhang Xu asked in surprise, "It can't be the position of the principal of Hogwarts, right?"

The other end of the phone said "Uh" for a long time, and after a while Harry continued: "Those are three dices. No matter how you throw them, they will always throw a two and two threes."

Zhang Xu was silent for a while, and then said to Harry: "Then you put it away for me first, and then give it to me when I get to England."

"Okay." Harry said, "By the way, I have a question for you."

"If you have any questions, let's wait until I get to England." In order to be in a good mood to enjoy the remaining few days of vacation, Zhang Xu stopped Harry's words, "That's it, I'm done."

After returning the phone to Furong, Zhang Xu sighed, then leaned against the hot spring pool, looking up at the full moon hanging in the sky through the maple leaves swaying in the wind.

After returning to China, except for the text message he received from Dobby on the day when Hong Kong returned, and Scarlet telling him about what happened in Hogwarts that night on the day he had a durian on his head, Zhang Xu had no plans. Before returning to the UK, I took the initiative to obtain information about the UK.

Furong could see the anger, sadness and helplessness in Zhang Xu's heart during this period, as well as his deliberate avoidance of this issue. She also wanted to help Zhang Xu share some of the pressure on this issue, but on this issue, Zhang Xu firmly rejected Furong's suggestion that she go to England to help him.

Fleur reached out and poked Scarlet on the other side of her, but Scarlet just sighed, shook her head, and continued drinking.

At this moment, the hotel manager hurriedly said to Zhang Xu and the others through the door: "No, Mr. Zhang, we just received a call from the police. Someone was found on the side of the road one kilometer away half an hour ago. A black bear ran into the mountains. It was probably attracted by the smell of the food waste in our hotel. Mr. Zhang, please go back to your room quickly to avoid it."

"Can you cook bear cuisine?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Nani?" The hotel manager couldn't figure out why this guest's thoughts turned to cooking.

"I mean, if I catch that bear, can you make it into food? There won't be any legal trouble, right?" Zhang Xu continued to ask.

At this time, the hotel manager was sweating profusely. He had helped the boss manage this hotel for more than 20 years. There were many guests who made all kinds of strange requests, but this was the first time he had seen such unconventional guests. arrive.

However, his boss asked him to serve today's distinguished guest, who was also the boss's only son's savior, so the hotel manager still answered Zhang Xu's question according to Zhang Xu's wishes.

"There is a master bear chef in Osaka who is famous in the Kansai region. We can invite him here."

"As long as it's not discovered, there won't be any legal trouble. In our area, one or two bears get lost every year around many hotels like ours."

After the hotel manager finished speaking, he thought that maybe this guest wanted to try bear hunting, and then he could show off in front of his female companion when he came back. The security guard in the hotel is retired from the Self-Defense Forces. If he is asked to pick up the "guy" that "other guests accidentally left behind" in the hotel, there should be no problem. Then the credit for killing the bear will be placed on the guests. .

I have to say that this manager has been able to work in this hotel with a complicated background for so long. He is still very capable. He thought of the guests' ideas in an instant (what he thought) and made corresponding arrangements. .

"Then go and prepare." Zhang Xu said to the manager.

The hotel manager thought Zhang Xu was asking him to arrange manpower, so he left in a hurry.

When Zhang Xu stood up and left the hot spring, Scarlet raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Wine makes people brave. Why don't you go back after a drink?"

"Pour down the wine. I'll come as soon as I leave."

"..."

It is not very troublesome to find black bears in the woods. After Zhang Xu flew to the top of the mountain and added a "wind ear" to himself, he soon heard the sound of black bears walking in the mountains.

At this time, the black bear was not far from the top of the mountain. When it climbed over the top of the mountain, he would see the pool where Zhang Xu had just soaked in the hot spring.

(′(工)｀(O＝(●(ェ)●╬)

Zhang Xu immediately transformed into a giant panda, rushed forward, pressed down on the black bear and beat it severely.

At the same time, in the hot spring, Scarlet asked Fleur: "You just let him run wild?"

"Sigh... He's unhappy, so I'd better let him fight with a bear to vent his anger." Fleur sighed and said.

"Wouldn't it be better to let him vent his anger by fighting with you two witches?" A middle-aged woman who looked very young switched into aunt mode under the influence of alcohol.

"How about I throw him into your room and let you vent?" Fleur glanced sideways at Scarlet and said.

"I will die." Scarlet said with a black line.

"Didn't you say it would be fine if you don't get pregnant?" Fleur asked pretending to be surprised.

"I said, what are you going to do with me?" Scarlet said drunkenly, "Donia just had a little bit of a clue, but you quietly asked the old senior to help arrange for her and Charlie to meet by chance on campus. , and now the two of them are ready to get married."

"How about letting you accidentally get drunk and drown in the hot spring?" Fleur said to Scarlet with a smile.

"Then you might as well let me have a child with him and then die. At least you can feel good before you die." A drunk guy said.

"What can I do?" Fleur said helplessly, "According to biographies, I met him first, but according to chronicles, it was you first. But you have been at Hogwarts for so long, he I'm very satisfied that I haven't even attacked you. Let's talk about the rest later."

…

Panda Zhang, who punched the black bear until it was dying, didn't know that there was a sudden showdown in his backyard.

Just when he was about to give the black bear a fatal blow, there was a noise in the distance.

Panda Zhang hurriedly slapped the black bear on the head. After slapping the black bear to death, it returned to its human form.

The hotel manager didn't wait for Zhang Xu to come out at the gate, and asked a waitress to ask. Only then did she find out that he had entered the mountain through the path at the back door. This frightened the hotel manager and quickly led someone to take the "guy" to the mountain. Go.

Not long after entering the mountain, they heard loud noises on the top of the mountain, so they quickened their pace.

When they arrived, they saw Zhang Xu, wearing a spotless bathrobe, sitting on a rock under the moonlight and the light of a flashlight. The battered black bear body lay at his feet.

"Please take it back with you. We will stay here for another day tomorrow and wait for the chef you introduced to cook it."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he turned around and went down the mountain.

Decades later, the staff at that hotel were all old. Whenever they recalled the past with their families, they would always think of that night in the bright moonlight when they saw the burly man in a blue cloth yukata with a black belt. Back view. "Alas. I don't know when I will see that hero again!"
