Hogwarts: Don't you all have the Eye of God?

After wandering around for a while, Qiu Zhang took Andy to Fusco's ice cream shop, and each ordered a raspberry-flavored ice cream with thick cream on top.

Qiu Zhang took out a list of all the things Andy needed to buy:"Let me see, a crucible, textbooks, two sets of school uniforms and robes, wands, hats, gloves, etc. There are a lot of things to buy. , I didn’t expect that I would have to buy these things again after passing the first grade."

"I think it would be better for us to go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore first. It is relatively close. They also provide a delivery service that allows them to send the textbooks they bought directly to their homes."

"You need to buy a lot of books. In addition to fifth grade textbooks, you also need to buy some basic magic books, such as first and second grade textbooks, which can teach you some basic spells."

"Then we'll go buy a wand. You must want to get your own wand as soon as possible, right? After buying the wand, we were not in a hurry and could go shopping all the way.……"

She suddenly realized that Andy was silent, and turned to look over. Andy was staring at her, with a somewhat amused expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Zhang blushed and asked,"Is there something on my face?"

Andy said sincerely,"It's great to meet you, thank you, Qiu, without you, I don't know how to prepare for these"

"Huh?!" Qiu Zhang quickly turned her head away again, and Andy could only see the back of her head."Really? Impossible... Andy, you can do it yourself."

Andy:"Why is your face so red?"

Qiu Zhang said:"It must be because of the weather. It's too hot today."

"Really? Okay." Andy looked down at his jacket and said nothing. He took the list from Qiu Zhang and said,"But let's just keep it simple, okay? No need to make any plans. We can just go into any store we pass by and buy things."

"I think there is no need to buy first-grade books. Qiu, do you still have your old books? If you are willing to lend me, then this cost can be saved"

"There are also items like crucibles and gloves, so I don’t need to buy new ones.

Qiu Zhang said:"Of course it's okay to lend it to you. I have many items that I have used before, but is it okay if you use my old things?""

"Before we left, my father told me that he wanted me to buy the best of everything for him, and there was no need to save money for him. I felt the same way."

"You don't need to pay back this money, Andy, so don't stress yourself out."

"It doesn't matter at all. Andy said without any concern,"If possible, I'll use yours.""

If you want to buy these things, it will be a big expense.

Although Mr. Zhang said that all of his current tuition fees will be sponsored, how can Andy take advantage of this? Now he is staying at Qiu's house, so he can save money.

If there is a chance, Andy still has to find a way to make some money on his own, and it would be best if he could repay the money as soon as possible.

The final result of the discussion was that Andy omitted most of the items on the list, such as the crucible and the dragon.

He could use Qiu Zhang's leather gloves and lower grade textbooks, so there was no need to waste money.

This made today's trip to Diagon Alley extremely fast, and they didn't need to rush. Buy everything.

Qiu Zhang first took Andy to Mrs. Malkin's robe store and ordered two complete sets of four-season clothes for him, including school uniform robes, leather shoes, cardigans, shirts and scarves.

Mrs. Malkin tapped Andy lightly with her wand, and several sets of measuring tapes placed next to her naturally flew up and floated to Andy to measure his size.

Several pieces of clothing of different styles flew to Andy for comparison.

Andy stood on the measuring table and made other people's eyes light up.

Andy was very handsome, with sharp eyebrows and half-length black hair that matched the look of the store. The robe inside suddenly took on an elegant and noble quality.

Although Andy was wearing a jacket and jeans before, he was very energetic, but he looked too street-like.

Now he puts on the robe and transforms into a much different person. Fantasy appearance of a handsome young wizard

"Mr. Hall, what grade are you in this year? I've never seen you before."Mrs. Malkin, who was standing aside, crossed her arms and looked at Andy up and down with a smile in her eyes.

This look gave Andy a chill.

I heard that Mrs. Malkin was a widow and her husband had been dead for a long time.

"I usually keep a low profile. Thank you, ma'am. How much is it in total?"

Madam Malkin winked at Andy."It's 17 Galleons and 8 Sickles in total. I'll give you a discount and give you 15 Galleons."

"The clothes will be delivered to your home when they are ready. You can come to the store to pick them up in person if you want.

Qiu Zhang came over expressionlessly, took out 15 gold coins, handed them to the other party, and then took Andy away and said,"Please send them to your home."

Madam Malkin could only watch with disappointment as Qiu Zhang and Andy walked out of her store.

After leaving Madam Malkin's store, Andy asked,"17 Galleons? Is this expensive? I heard that the currency system in the magic world is quite chaotic."

"The price is actually not bad, almost the same as what I paid for it at the time, but the monetary system? Qiu Zhang looked at Andy in shock,"You actually use such high-level words to describe it.""

Qiu Zhang gave a brief introduction. The actual monetary system of the magical world is much more confusing than what Andy had imagined.

The currencies of the magical world are generally divided into three types: gold Galleons, silver Sickles, and copper Nuts..

It is still in the stage of physical currency, there is no paper currency, and there is no electronic payment.

1 Galleon can be exchanged for 17 Sicos, and 1 Sico can be converted into 29 Nats. Calculate how many galleons are equal to a knut, just go ahead.

Andy thought for a while and asked himself a question, but then he found that he couldn't figure out the answer in his mind right away. The exchange system is not based on the decimal system. Andy really doesn't understand which genius decided it.

When it comes to actual purchasing power, 1 Galleung is approximately equal to 5 pounds.

If you need to exchange Galleons, you can go. The goblins set up a bank in Diagon Alley and conduct exchanges at Gringotts.

In order to prevent a run, there is a limit on the amount of galleons that each person can exchange per year.

For example, Andy can only exchange less than two hundred galleons. Of course

Andy doesn't need so much money, and it's not necessary.

According to Qiu Zhang, in actual operation, Andy can't exchange so many galleons at once because the goblins will make things difficult for little wizards like him.

They don't like pounds at all, and they don't like people coming to them to exchange the Galleons in their hands. They only have to bear this responsibility because they have a contract with the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic is connected to the Muggle society.

The operation of Gringotts Bank is also very primitive.

Wizards can open their own personal vaults in Gringotts. This vault has a physical existence and is built underground in Gringotts. It is said that there is a fire dragon inside that serves as the vault. Guard.

The normal working scene of Gringotts is more like a medieval financial guild than a modern bank.

A group of goblins sit in the lobby of Gringotts, weighing and recording various currencies in front of them. , walking around.

Andy, who had seen all this with his own eyes, couldn't help but sigh.

How should I put it, there is a kind of wild beauty.
