The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Good afternoon!" Hunter opened the door of the restaurant, strode in quickly, and greeted the buffet owner very familiarly, "I reserved a private room before."

"Okay!" Since they were old customers, the boss naturally knew Hal. He walked out from behind the cashier counter and led the seven Hals into a box on the left side of the hall.

"It's a coincidence that you're here today. We have your favorite stir-fried bullfrog legs." The boss put two bottles of beer on the dining table and told Hal the good news.

Hal grinned happily. He liked the bullfrog here the most. It tasted very good and the frog meat was very tender. It's a pity that this dish is difficult to eat elsewhere, only here.

Several people got up and went to the hall to get food.

The layout of WORK66 is very simple. As soon as you enter the door, there is a hall. In the center of the hall, there is a row of tables like a canteen. On the tables, square stainless steel basins are used to hold various dishes. Hot water flows under the basin, keeping the dishes above warm.

There is an empty area next to the table where the owner has opened a Teppanyaki restaurant. There are several cabinets and an open kitchen where customers can take away fresh food and go to the kitchen to let the chef use the iron plate to process it into steaming "teppanyaki" for you.

Hal looked like he was an old diner. He went straight to the topic, walked to the edge of the table, picked up a plate, and quickly scooped up his favorite food. Mr. Granger stood next to him holding a plate, looking confused as his old friend skillfully used tongs and a large spoon to pick up a pile of food he didn't recognize.

It was obvious that Mr. Hal's students were not here for the first time. They went to the Teppanyaki area first.

Hermione had never eaten at a Chinese buffet before, so she just took out a plate from under the table in a daze, and then carefully looked at the dishes on the table.

"What is this?" she asked, pointing to a dish. "It looks pretty good."

"Squid," Tom came over to take a look and found that it was fried squid rolls, "green peppers, carrots, onions and modified squid." He took two spoonfuls, but deliberately shook out the green peppers inside.

Hermione followed suit and took a spoonful too.

Next, Tom also got some beef fried with onions, fried chicken wings, frog legs and a few small meat skewers. Hermione followed him, and she took whatever Tom got. Finally, Tom took another plate, took some fried rice, and added a few spring rolls and fried shrimp balls on top.

At this time, Hal waved towards the door. Tom looked in the direction of his wave and saw six young men walking in.

They walked up to Hal, and a young man with gold-rimmed glasses who looked a bit bookish came to the front.

"Is this Professor Hunter? We are assistants sent by the boss."

Hal stretched out his hand, shook hands with him, and then looked at the five people behind him: the five people were dressed very similarly. They all wore a sea soul shirt on the upper body, a pair of khaki-colored five-length pants on the lower body, and A pair of Adidas sneakers. The leading man was as strong as a grizzly bear and must have been over 1.9 meters tall. There was a thick gold chain hanging around his neck.

"Alyosha and his team," the man with glasses began to introduce everyone.

These six people are all Yuri's men, who were sent by him to the adventure team to ensure the safety of this trip. The man with glasses is named Peter. He is the team's translator. He is proficient in more than ten languages ​​including English, Arabic, French, Russian and Ukrainian. He also has some knowledge of Egyptian customs. He is a talent from the North African region of the former Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Jump to work for Yuri.

The remaining five people were all elites in the army, and they were recruited by Yuri after the disintegration. Yuri actually doesn't have many such people, only about a hundred in total - if he needs manpower to fight, he can recruit from the Ukrainian army at any time. He has an uncle who is a general in Ukraine and has nearly 10,000 men under his command. Uzbek army.

Yuri perfectly helped him solve the problem of feeding these soldiers by scrapping their weapons.

The leader is Alyosha, a machine gunner, and there are also assaulters, demolitionists, medics and an engineer. With six people like this, they can fully deal with most emergencies.

After the introduction, Alyosha stretched out his big furry hand and shook Hal's hand. Hal himself was a strong man, but in front of Alyosha, he looked like a child who had not graduated. He had big hands when shaking hands. The feeling of holding a little hand.

"It's an honor." Alyosha greeted Hal and the others in English with a heavy accent. His voice was low and powerful. Although there was a strong Maozi flavor in his accent, it could make people listen to it. Feel very reassured.

reliable. This is everyone's first impression of Alyosha.

The second impression is that it is edible!

The plates at WORK66 are about 30 centimeters in diameter. Tom felt a little full after eating two plates of food - the dishes here are generally high in sugar, salt and oil. Although they are very delicious, he also needs water to eat them. , after eating two plates, I felt a little unable to eat.

Alyosha took three plates at once, each piled up like a hill. After finishing three plates, he took three more plates and drank a bottle of beer and a bottle of liquor. Although his comrades are not as good at eating as he is, they are generally in a good state, and even the military doctor is no exception.

A few people worked hard to clean up the boss's inventory. After everyone had had their fill, they emptied the fried chicken and barbecue bowls in the restaurant, and there were more than a dozen empty wine bottles on the table.

Fortunately, the boss of WORK66 is a cheerful person and does not give them any trouble just because they can eat. In fact, buffet owners rarely get embarrassed because a customer is a big-bellied person: the core of a buffet is to reduce labor expenses through the "self-service" format. For an affordable buffet, the cost of ingredients is absolutely minimal. Even if you can eat three kilograms of meat in one sitting, it won't be a loss for the boss. The price of frozen meat is unimaginably cheap.

Eating together is the fastest way to get closer. Of course, if you go for a massage after the meal, the relationship may become stronger. At the dinner table, several people gradually became acquaintances. During the meal, Alyosha seemed to talk more. He chatted with Hal with his tongue swollen, and the two chatted very congenially.

After a burst of laughter like a bell, Alyosha seemed to remember something, "By the way, Mr. Davari, I'm going to say something ugly first. The boss said that I have to listen to Tom on this trip," he pointed. Tom, "I can't help it, I'm sorry..."

It can be seen that the boss Yuri has a high status in his mind, and his words are simply golden rules to him.

After the meal, several people left drunkenly, and Mr. Granger also took Tom and Hermione home. In three days, the expedition will head to Egypt to begin their adventure.
