Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

On the grass beside the river, a circle of people sitting together had already eaten. Several people were drinking drinks, while Zhang Xu made snacks there.

Knock a small hole on the top of the salted duck egg and pour out all the egg white. Then mix the glutinous rice, mushrooms and shrimps soaked in the morning with seasonings and stuff them into the salted duck eggs. Finally, wrap these duck eggs in lotus leaves and roast them slowly in the almost extinguished charcoal fire.

While Zhang Xu was busy baking glutinous rice eggs, he asked Qiu: "I wrote letters to my graduated classmates asking for their cooperation intentions. How was their response?"

A key factor in the success or failure of an organization is the ability of grassroots leaders. If the work of grassroots organizations is in a mess, then the organization built on this basis will be a building with an unstable foundation.

Especially the community defense team that was only established during this extraordinary period. If they are not careful, they will be infiltrated by Voldemort and others, and then become a new card in his hand.

Therefore, Zhang Xu used a card that had been prepared for many years - the past graduates of Hogwarts, especially those who had fought with various enemies together.

Young people are aggressive and bloody. If Zhang Xu asked them to fight Voldemort to the death, they might not be happy, but if they were asked to unite their neighbors and surround their homes, they would still burst out with great enthusiasm.

And over the years, under the guidance of Zhang Xu and the secret support of Dumbledore, the students of Hogwarts have established a new school spirit of unity and mutual help. After graduation, many students from all walks of life have joined forces, and some have even developed gangsterism. However, this is still enough for establishing a joint defense team.

In addition, they are still young, flexible and willing to accept new things, which allows a lot of work to be carried out smoothly.

If these people come forward to organize the neighbors, they can build up a terrifyingly large team from point to point.

Even if such a team does not have much combat effectiveness, if they can provide useful intelligence, then their role will be extremely huge.

At the beginning of the year, when Dumbledore was still there, Zhang Xu wrote to those selected old classmates in his name, asking them what they thought of the "Safely Entering Ten Thousand Homes" plan (version 1.0) and whether they were willing to serve as the The organizers of the plan threw themselves into the defense of their homeland.

But as soon as this operation started, Dumbledore asked Zhang Xu to return to China to prepare for the college entrance examination, so he quietly handed over this task to his aunt.

Because there are many students who have graduated in the past few years, although it is not a big problem to use an automatic quill pen according to the template to write a letter with the same content except for the name,

But when Qiu went to the owl room to mail a letter, she decided to chop up her cheating nephew and throw it into the greenhouse. It was not an easy task to tie letters to the legs of almost all the owls in the owl room. .

Even more tragic things happened in the next few days. The owls swarmed in and made it impossible for her and the people sitting around her to have breakfast.

So when Zhang Xu asked her about this matter, Zhang Xu was greeted with angry eyes.

“Next month’s Milan Fashion Week, several brands will have limited-edition bags on sale. Let me know which one you like.”

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, his aunt nodded with satisfaction.

After taking a form, Qiu said: "Almost all the people we contacted are interested in this plan. More than 60% of them are willing to take the initiative to establish a joint defense team in their own communities or regions. Another 30% of people agreed to join the joint defense team under the leadership of the Ministry of Magic, and only a handful of people are waiting to see because they are worried about their personal safety."

"So many?" Penello said in surprise, staring at the glutinous rice eggs in the charcoal fire. "At the beginning, we estimated that we would be successful if nearly half of the people supported us."

"I didn't expect there to be so many," Qiu said gloomily, "I was overwhelmed by the owls who responded!"

Zhang Xu pretended to check whether the glutinous rice eggs in the charcoal fire were cooked, avoiding the other person's eyes.

"Now it can be said that a spark has formed." Zhang Xu said while pushing aside the charcoal fire next to the glutinous rice eggs. "There is still a lot of work to be done on how to burn these sparks into a prairie fire."

"Then the next question is how to organize them." Cedric said, "How is the preparation of the "Community and Village Joint Defense Construction Guidelines"?

Zhang Xu took out several brochures printed on A4 paper and handed them to others and said: "The basic compilation is completed. We will discuss it one by one later. If there are no problems, we can finalize it."

Zhang Xu has been coordinating this plan before, so he is familiar with all aspects of the situation. After finishing the college entrance examination, he sat in front of the computer for two days and then coded out this booklet.

"We first need to let as many people as possible understand and become familiar with this plan as soon as possible. We don't have much time." Zhang Xu said.

"What will happen?" Penello asked curiously.

"I estimate that the mysterious man will take action against the Ministry of Magic in the near future. If he controls the Ministry of Magic, it will be very difficult to implement our plan." Zhang Xu said, "So we will come up with the final plan today. Derek needs to get it approved by the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible. At the same time, the media publicity must keep up."

The few people around did not doubt Zhang Xu's judgment. They all looked at Cedric and the others worriedly.

"It's okay, we are ready to escape." Cedric said with a smile.

Zhang Xu handed Luna a baked and peeled glutinous rice egg and asked, "Penello, Luna, are you ready for the publicity?"

The most important task during the initial stage of this plan is publicity. Only in a short period of time can more people know about it, and then mobilize them to participate. This way, this set of proposals can still be retained after Voldemort seizes power.

"Our magazine is ready to publish a special supplement. If necessary, it can be printed tonight and distributed tomorrow. Our publicity can keep up." Penello said, "It's just that the influence of our magazine is not as good as that of the Daily Prophet. Big, I think we still need to cooperate with them."

"I have contacted good people about the report in the Daily Prophet. As soon as there is news from the Ministry of Magic, the newspaper will follow up as soon as possible." Zhang Xu said.

Then Zhang Xu turned around and asked, "Luna, how are you?"

"A little salty." Luna said while chewing the glutinous rice egg.

Zhang Xu gave her a headache, and then handed her a bottle of frozen Feizhai Happy Water.

"I'm asking about the promotional arrangements for "The Quibbler."" Zhang Xu said angrily.

"Gudong... Gudong... Gudong..."

After drinking half a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water, Luna said: "I talked to my father and he agreed to cooperate with our plan. I have also prepared relevant articles."

"So is there anything else you want to add in terms of publicity?" Zhang Xu asked the others.

"I thought I could go to the bar tonight and talk to the guys..." Cedric said in a lower and lower voice.

Someone said "hehe" and he became mute.

"In order to let more people know, I think we can do some publicity in Diagon Alley." Fred said.

"Although there are not as many people in Diagon Alley now as before." George said helplessly.

"Is there anyone at the radio station that I can contact?" Penello suddenly asked.

A few people stared at each other, as if they had no chance at the radio station.

"I'll ask some annoying reporter to help me check it out later." Zhang Xu said, "She has quite a wide network of contacts."

Everyone here knows which one he is talking about.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "Are you going to sacrifice your appearance and ask Rita Skeeter for help?"
