The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 227 Aswan Night Market (please vote for me)

Overnight trains are also called sleep trains or night trains. Passengers board the train at night and arrive at their destination when they wake up the next morning. The more famous night train is the night train that departs from Florence and arrives in Venice - of course, the departure station of this train is not Florence, but getting on the train from Florence is the most comfortable way to ride.

There are some differences between sleep cars and ordinary green cars: its conditions are much better, most of the seats are sleepers, and they are all boxes. This kind of car is mostly "sentiment", and green cars, that's real There is no last resort.

Just like farming, some people go into seclusion while others are forced by life. Although it is the same thing, the nature is completely different. As a tourist, you can really experience the "sleeping car", which is a very novel travel experience.

Tom and Hermione were riding a sleep train.

Tom and Hermione walked into their box. The environment in the box was unexpectedly good. Tom boarded this train with the mentality of riding an Indian train. As soon as he entered the compartment, he found that the environment was not bad: clean seats, graffiti-free walls and bright glass. Even if the scope of comparison is spread to the whole world, it is still a first-class private room.

Tom opened a curtain on the wall of the carriage and saw a clothes hook for hanging clothes. There was a recess above the clothes hook with a guardrail and two pillows inside. Next to the clothes hook is a mirror and a sink, as well as a charging socket.

Tom turned on the faucet on the sink. The water flow was very small, not much bigger than the wizard's "clear water spring". But if you can enjoy an independent box and an independent wash basin on the train, what kind of bicycle do you need? !

There are also box lunches to choose from in the car, including chicken rice and grilled fish rice, but Tom still chose to eat his own super roujiamo.

When he woke up the next day, Tom had arrived at Aswan train station.

The folk customs here are more open. When walking on the street, people will pop up from time to time to say hello to Tom and the others.

They hailed a taxi and headed to Aswan's bazaar.

The driver was very talkative, even though the language between the two parties was actually not that smooth. The driver introduced himself and the city to them in half-baked English. Through him, Tom knew that the dark, fat uncle in front of him was a Nubian. He enthusiastically told Tom about the pyramids of Cairo and the grand bazaar of Nubia.

It can be seen that the uncle is very proud of his Nubian identity.

Entering the market, a breath of human fireworks hit your face.

The market has a very strong North African flavor. Wherever Tom and Hermione passed, there were local vendors shouting the word "free" to them.

Hermione stopped at a roadside stall and looked at the goods on the stall curiously. only……

“Is this a local product from Egypt?”

"Demolish that!"

Hermione: ...

"What about this?"

"Demolish that! Too."

"Are there any local specialties from Egypt?"

The shop owner felt a little ashamed, and finally pointed to a wooden clamp-like object, indicating that it was made in Egypt.

Tom and Hermione started shopping in the market, but basically nothing aroused Tom's interest, except ice cream.

The sun sets in the west and night falls.

"Yeah!" Hermione suddenly exclaimed in small surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing! Let's go!" In the dim light, Tom couldn't see Hermione's face clearly, but she kept urging her to leave. When Tom saw the goods in the window of the roadside shop, he suddenly realized: No wonder Hermione is shy, it turns out that it is like this!

On the roadside is an Egyptian statue shop.

Buy Egyptian statues.

In fact, there are many such shops in tourist attractions, but one problem does exist: Egypt still retains fertility worship. The so-called reproductive worship is a common custom in primitive societies. It is an expression of the ancestors' pursuit of happiness and hope for a prosperous career. It is also a kind of praise and yearning for the reproductive ability of living things.

In addition to some ceramic bottles and cat statues, there are also these abstract art statues in the store.

The forms of the statues were rich and colorful. When she saw Tom, she was attracted to it. Hermione looked like she was about to cry. She stamped her feet, "Tom Yoder! What's so good about this store-"

However, the shop owner also discovered potential customers and immediately enthusiastically attracted them.

"Statue!" His English wasn't very good, but he still tried very hard to introduce his product to Tom.

Probably I want to say that after buying it, you will be favored by strange gods.

"NO, NO, NO," Tom waved his hands repeatedly, pointing to the second statue, "This is not necessary."

Shopkeeper:…

Hermione:? ! !

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and took out a packet of medicinal powder with unknown ingredients.

"!!"

A tall bald old man appeared, repelled the man who tried his best to imagine Tom selling medicine powder and statues, then looked at Tom and apologized to Tom in fluent English.

"I'm sorry. Just now, Abdullah spoke uncontrollably and said something he shouldn't have said. Please come with me." He made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time glared at Abdullah beside him, telling him to get out. Stay away and reflect on what you have done - how can you promote such a thing to a customer with a female companion! How could a customer buy such a thing in front of his female companion!

Hermione couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw someone coming to the rescue.

The old man took the two to the shop next door, which looked much more normal. Inside were statues of ancient Egyptian gods and white robes.

After entering the shop, he picked up a kobold statue and handed it to Tom.

“Anubis,” the store owner told Tom about these statues of the god Anubis.

"I am a true Nubian, and this statue is the most realistic Anubis statue in Aswan." The old man said proudly with a smile.

"Nubia in the night market..." Tom frowned.
