Chapter 133: Soft Rice Tastes so Good
Hearing this, Andy was relieved immediately.
Although Helen had exploited his labor during this period because he had no pocket money.
But as long as Zhang Qiu brought back the magic books from China, Andy felt that it was all worth it.
"Who is Qiu?" Isabel asked curiously.
"One of my classmates."
"Oh!"
"..."
After more than 40 minutes of driving, Andy and his friends arrived in Surrey, 35 kilometers southwest of London.
Thorpe Park, a unique theme park, is very popular among young people in England. The park has many thrilling projects and can be said to be a paradise for thrill seekers.
The prices in 1992 were far less exaggerated than in later generations, but when Andy paid the car fare and bought three tickets, less than 50 pounds were left out of the 100 pounds.
This is a bit embarrassing.
You know, it is 1992, and the exchange rate between the pound and the Chinese currency is: one pound is equal to about 8 yuan.
Andy had 800 soft sister yuan in his hand. He originally thought it was a huge sum of money, but he found that it was not enough to spend.
This amount of money is not enough to play a few games.
Andy once again realized the reality of "being poor".
Fortunately, Gringotts did not open a channel for exchanging pounds and gold galleons. Only young wizards from Muggle families have a fixed exchange quota every year.
Otherwise, those dark wizards could easily exchange hundreds of thousands of gold galleons at Gringotts by casting an Imperius Curse and controlling a rich Muggle at will.
——For example, Helen and Kyle, and Andy in the future.
Even if the Imperius Curse is not used, let alone those wealthy people, even a family like Hermione can easily exchange tens of thousands of gold galleons.
If this situation really happens, those wizards from Muggle families would have ruled the wizarding world by relying on the economy.
How could they be suppressed by pure-blood families everywhere in the wizarding world?
"Don't worry, I brought enough pounds."
Hermione patted her pocket and said generously: "I have saved a lot of pocket money over the years. If I live in the wizarding world in the future, this money will be useless."
Andy took a deep breath.
Today, I seem to be able to taste the taste of free food.
If it tastes good...
Cough!
"I didn't expect the prices of Muggles to be so high."
Andy spread his hands and made a helpless expression, "I should have brought more money."
For those unruly wizards, it is easy to get Muggle money.
The Imperius Curse plus Obliviate can solve all the troubles.
Isabel looked at Andy with contempt.
Andy glared back in anger, and the little girl pouted, but she didn't betray Andy's true situation.
"Let's go! Isa. Haven't you always wanted to come to the Muggle amusement park?" Fearing that the little girl would talk too much, Andy took Isabel's hand and walked into the amusement park together.
The amusement park in 1992 was much worse than the large amusement parks Andy had seen in his previous life, but for people of this era, Thorpe Park was already top-notch.
Isabel went crazy as soon as she entered the amusement park, playing all kinds of thrilling projects again and again.
The little girl also brought a camera and asked Andy to take a lot of photos of her.
When passing by a promotional poster, Isabel pulled Hermione and asked curiously, "Hermione, is that a Muggle photo?"
"Yes! What's wrong?" Hermione was stunned.
Isabel stared at the photo for a long time, "Muggle photos don't move, so magical, how did you do it?"
Hermione: Photos that move are strange, right?
Isabel added, "The paintings don't move, and the characters in them can't speak. It's great... Some people in the portraits are noisy."
Hermione: "..."
At noon, Andy and the other two found a fast food restaurant to fill their stomachs.
Of course, Hermione was the one who treated them.
Andy had spent all his pounds long ago, and the last change was used to buy snacks.
Eating soft rice, as long as you get over the psychological barrier, you will find that soft rice is really delicious.
At least Andy ate it very deliciously.
In the afternoon, Hermione treated them to a few more games.
Andy also tried it.
Even if you are mature in heart, as long as you let go, these amusement facilities are still fun.
If Hermione thinks everything in the magic world is magical.
Then for Isabel, things in the Muggle world are also magical.
"Andy, Muggle things are so magical!" This is not the first time Isabel has said this.
"Isa, do you like it?" Andy asked with a smile.
"Well! Andy, can you bring me here again next year?" Isabel looked up and asked with anticipation.
"Of course." Andy rubbed the little girl's head.
It was past four o'clock. Hermione looked at Andy and asked, "Are we going back now? Or should we go back after dinner?"
Andy said, "I can't go back too late because I'm taking Isa with me this time."
"Okay!"
Hermione was a little disappointed. "I wanted to invite you to my house for dinner."
Andy took a deep breath nervously. "Next time! I'll visit my uncle and aunt when I'm ready."
"Okay!" Hermione obviously didn't think too much. "There should be taxis at the entrance of the park."
"Andy, let's take the Knight Bus back!" The little girl said excitedly.
It was obvious that she hadn't played enough.
"Okay."
Andy thought for a moment and said, "Hermione, let's take the Knight Bus. I'll take you home first, and then I'll take Isa home."
"The bus from the magic world? How do you get on that?" Hermione asked curiously, "Andy, does the Knight Bus have a fixed stop?"
"Let's go out first and find an empty alley."
Andy explained, "You'll understand after you see me do it once."
After leaving the park, Andy and the other two walked a few hundred meters and then turned into an empty alley.
Andy saw that the road was still wide, so he took out his wand and pointed it at the road ahead.
After waiting for a while, Andy took back his wand and said, "Okay, now we just need to wait patiently."
"Is that all?" Hermione looked around, obviously curious about how the car from the magic world would appear.
With a deafening 'bang', the Knight Bus stopped in front of Andy and the other two.
"Welcome to the Knight Bus, an emergency bus for wizards in distress. Just hold out your wand and walk up, and we can take you anywhere."
Andy and the other two got on the bus, and Isabel found a seat and sat down skillfully. After Andy bought the ticket, he took Hermione to find a place to sit down, "This bus is going very fast, you have to be careful."
"How fast can it be?" Hermione asked curiously.
Driving in the city, no matter how fast, it can't be too outrageous, right?
Even if the car can be invisible, what if it drives too fast and gets into a car accident?
Hermione didn't quite understand why she had to be careful.
