Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Upon hearing about the wonderful taste, Elena became interested and asked Lin Xiaoqian to get her a bottle of Sprite to try.

The two ate while watching a movie.

Upon seeing that an owl was delivering the mail, old Henry wondered, "What school is called Hogwarts? And their mail is delivered by owls?"

Elena laughed and said, "Mr. Henry, this is clearly something like a play in a theater, where the characters and place names are probably all made up."

Old Henry nodded knowingly; he had originally thought it was a factual record.

Upon seeing that their aunt's family had fled to a deserted island to avoid a letter delivered by an owl, the two burst into laughter.

Old Henry said, "It seems there's more to it than meets the eye that my aunt's family doesn't allow little Harry to receive letters from the owls."

"What other secret is there?" Philip's voice came from the doorway.

Old Henry turned to look at him: "Hey, Philip, you've finally arrived!"

He walked in and said to old Henry with a disapproving look, "Old Henry, even if you're held back by the food, you should remember you still have a shop."

It turned out that Philip had just seen his guests off when he saw that old Henry's shop next door had also received customers. He knew that old Henry had gone to the shop across the street and had not yet returned, so he had to close his own shop and go to old Henry's shop to greet his customers.

"I sold you a magic broom, the money is on your table, and I've closed the shop door for you."

Old Henry looked grateful: "Thank you, old friend. I'll treat you to fried chicken and Sprite."

Then he said to Lin Xiaoqian, "Give this gentleman four fried chicken legs and a bottle of Sprite."

Philip intervened, saying, "We don't need that many, two will suffice."

Old Henry said, "It's alright, listen to me, if we can't finish it, we'll pack it up and take it home. Come sit down with us, we're watching this thing called a movie right now."

Lin Xiaoqian had told them that this was called a movie.

Fearing that Philip might not be able to keep up with the plot, old Henry vividly recounted the events that occurred before the movie.

Philip became interested, since there weren't many entertainment options in the magical world. People with magic either studied and practiced magic or went to the Emerald Forest to do quests.

Only nobles had the leisure to go to the theater to watch plays or to the colosseum to watch others fight.

This thing called a movie was a rare and novel thing for Philip and his friends.

Since the shop was closed anyway, he decided to stay put for the time being and relax there. The environment was cleaner than the Hunter's Restaurant and quieter than Henry's Tavern, which he really liked.

The three of them ate fried chicken and watched a movie in the store, occasionally exchanging a few words.

This is the scene that Lilith saw when she walked to the store entrance.

My friend behind me craned her neck to look inside, sniffing with some surprise: "It smells so good, like fried chicken legs! It smells exactly the same as what I smelled in your room this morning. Hey? What are they watching? A magic projection?"

Lilith didn't know either; the store hadn't played that music last night.

She said to her best friend, "Let's go inside, Alice."

Lin Xiaoqian stood behind the small kitchen window grinding the dipping sauce, occasionally glancing at the door to see if any guests would arrive.

Looking up, she saw Lilith bringing in a little girl with brown hair, so she went out to greet her: "Good afternoon, Lilith."

"Lin, good afternoon!" After their friendly conversation last night, the two had become quite familiar with each other. Lin Xiaoqian didn't let Lilith call her Ms. Lin, but instead called her Lin.

Lilith took Alice's hand and introduced her, "This is my good friend Alice."

Alice gave a magician's bow: "Hello, Ms. Lin."

Lin Xiaoqian responded enthusiastically, then asked, "You're here for fried chicken legs, right? How many do you want?"

Lilith held up two fingers: "We'll each take two, and then each of us will have a bottle of Coke."

"Okay, you guys find a place to sit." Lin Xiaoqian said and went inside to get fried chicken legs.

Lilith and Alice found an empty seat and sat down.

Old Henry and his two companions would occasionally comment on the plot of the movie.

Lilith and the other woman, having overheard their conversation, also became curious and started watching the movie.

Upon seeing Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, Alice curiously asked Lin Xiaoqian, who was serving the food, "Lin, does Platform Nine and Three-Quarters really exist? Is that long thing that spews smoke and is called the Express also real?"

Lin Xiaoqian explained with a smile, "This is just a drama; just treat it as a story."

Alice's eyes gleamed. In this magical world, people could only travel by broom, teleportation scroll, or by tamed beasts pulling carts; they hadn't yet invented anything like a steam train.

If there really were a train, it would be much easier for her to go home, since her home is too far from Xinghui Academy, and it would take her half a month to get back.

However, she didn't dwell on it for long, as she was soon drawn into the plot that followed.

As the aroma of fried chicken legs wafted out of the store, more and more customers began to come in to buy chicken legs. At first, they only wanted to buy chicken legs to take away, but they were soon attracted by the movie, so they found a place to sit down and eat slowly while watching the movie.

Some people didn't leave after finishing their fried chicken legs; instead, they continued watching the movie.

Soon the shop was packed with customers. If there were no seats, people would stand and watch, and no one would say anything as long as they didn't block other people's view.

Even after Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone had finished playing, everyone was still wanting more.

Some guests thought the play was over, so they had to ask Lin Xiaoqian for their bills before leaving.

After paying the bill, some people continued to discuss the movie plot as they walked away.

"Harry is so brave."

"Although it's different from the real magical world, there are many more interesting things in it."

"I thought Professor Snape was the bad guy, but it turns out the bad guy is another teacher."

"But I still think Snape is a bad guy."

"Don't you guys think Quidditch is a lot of fun? We could organize our own game."

"I prefer the time when we ate together in the Great Hall at Hogwarts, with a table full of delicious food that made everyone's mouths water."

……

Most of the customers left the store; most had already finished their fried chicken legs and stayed to watch the movie. The rest were attracted by the aroma of the fried chicken legs and stayed to continue enjoying them.

Old Henry smiled and said to Lin Xiaoqian, who was standing at the cashier, "Boss, is that play still playing? If not, could you play it for us again?"

This play is so good, old Henry thinks there might only be one.

But it would be great to see it again. Anyway, he doesn't plan to open for business this afternoon, so he'll just stay in this shop.

Lin Xiaoqian said with a smile, "Actually, there's more. I'll give you some more."

The main problem was that there were too many people in the store just now. Some people didn't leave even after they finished eating, which prevented others who wanted to buy fried chicken legs from getting in. Lin Xiaoqian wanted to wait until some people who weren't buying anything left before putting down another one.

Lin Xiaoqian took out the remote control, pointed it at the TV, switched to "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," and clicked play.

Those who stayed in the store were surprised to find there was still one left; it was a delightful surprise.

They all ordered more fried chicken legs and drinks to continue watching.
