Chapter 509 The Summer Vacation Really Begins (End of This Volume)
Privet Drive is a standard British community. Although it is small and well-equipped, there are naturally fast food restaurants. At the corner of Privet Drive, there is a chain of fast food restaurants.
Harry rarely went here to eat fast food, and the reason was very simple: he had no money. Harry didn't have spare money to spend on fast food. Although the Dursleys were mean in the past, food was always easy to get, and he didn't crave that.
For my sake.
But things are different now. The Dursleys cannot meet Harry's most basic food needs, and he happens to have a few brand-new banknotes in his trouser pockets, which is simply a silent billboard.
The banknotes sent to him by his godfather and friends made his pocket bulging. Harry had never been so rich.
He sat on the bed, and a sizzling and greasy barbecue steak seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
"How happy it would be to cover the steak with cheese, then put it on bread with lettuce, pickles, and salad dressing, and then serve it with a side of French fries and a glass of iced Coke!" Harry had an idea in his mind.
It grows like a weed.
He could no longer control his heart, opened the window, looked around, and when no one was paying attention, he climbed down along the window sill.
Harry was not a reckless person. Before climbing out, he had already planned his route back. He had just seen that the window in the living room on the first floor was open. He could climb in through the window on the first floor after eating fast food. Even if he was
He found that he could also use the excuse that he was going to the toilet. If he didn't want to go to the living room, he could also crawl back the same way while holding the drain pipe. Harry even brought his own invisibility cloak just in case.
After turning it out, Harry quickly headed to the fast food restaurant. Along the way, he walked faster and faster, walking as fast as flying. A few minutes later, he stepped into the door of this shop that specializes in burgers.
The Dursleys would never take him out to eat, nor would they choose this corner fast food restaurant, so this was Harry's first time entering the restaurant.
The store is small in size, with only about a dozen tables arranged around the zigzag bar. A few customers huddled inside the store, enjoying the free air conditioning.
There is a huge oven behind the counter, with a large skewer of fragrant Turkish barbecue hanging inside. The barbecue rotates slowly so that each side is evenly heated. Next to the oven, there is a huge iron plate.
The clerks are preparing the dishes here. On the glass counter, there are several sauce bottles, several boxes filled with vegetables, and of course, a variety of breads and desserts.
Above the bar, there was a dazzling menu that made Harry dizzy. If you were not a native English speaker, you would definitely feel your scalp numb the first time you saw it.
"Hello!" The enthusiastic waitress came to the cashier with a smile and said hello to Harry.
“Dine in or take away?”
"Take... to dine in!" Harry originally wanted to take it away, but considering the strong smell of fast food, he was afraid that the residents inside would be awakened as soon as he entered the Dursley's house, so he gave up this idea and chose
Eating out is a waste of time.
"Dine in...what would you like to eat?" The waitress poked a few times at a machine.
"Uh..." This time Harry was asked. He had never been to a fast food restaurant like this before, and he couldn't make a choice while looking at the menu on the wall.
Fortunately, the waiter could give him some advice: "Turkish BBQ buns are very popular. The set menu only costs three pounds, and you can add a drink for 50 pence. If it's a super BBQ buns set, you need to add an extra two pounds."
Harry is happy. When he was born, the British currency system had been reformed, abolishing the previous troublesome system and changing it to a more intuitive system. Initially, the minor currency units of the pound were shillings and
Pence, 1 pound is equal to 20 shillings, and 1 shilling is equal to 12 pence. However, on February 15, 1971, the Bank of England implemented a new currency rounding system, and the unit of minor currency was changed to new pennies, and 1 pound was equal to 100 new pennies.
For this reform, all I can say is thank God and praise the bank!
According to the waiter's introduction, Harry only needed to pay 5.5 pounds to buy a super set meal. Harry paid for it without hesitation.
"Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, mayonnaise and ketchup, plus ice cola thin fries?" After the waiter confirmed it, he typed out an order for Harry. After he paid the money, Harry could go
While waiting for the food to be served.
Harry chose a table in the corner and sat down. This location was good because there was a small partition here that could block other people's views and make it more private.
Not long after sitting down, the waiter came over with a plastic dinner plate. When Harry saw the dinner plate, he was shocked. He didn't expect that the legendary super set meal was so huge! The bread was as short as an arm.
It was filled with barbecued meat, and a few slices of vegetables were stuffed into it. The barbecued meat squeezed the bread out of shape, and it bulged out like a hill. There was a pile of French fries and a large glass of iced Coke on the side.
This is much more exciting than a hamburger! How can the palm-sized steak of the hamburger compare to this mountain of meat?
Harry felt the whole table shake when the dinner plate was placed on the table.
Smelling the aroma of grease emanating from the set meal in front of him, Harry couldn't bear it any longer and started to eat to his heart's content.
Protein, fat, sugar and calories, these things that are deeply imprinted in human DNA, were placed in front of Harry without any concealment. No one could resist such temptation.
When Harry had finished most of the meat buns, there was a familiar sound of a car engine outside the store. Harry raised his head alertly. Sure enough, he saw Uncle Vernon's car parked across the road.
Harry was startled, and immediately took out the invisibility cloak from his arms, put it on his body, and hid the plate in front of him.
The next second, Uncle Vernon pushed the door open and entered.
The call Uncle Vernon received in the morning was indeed from a colleague, but after he finished handling the company's affairs, he had already missed his meal. Therefore, Uncle Vernon's car drove uncontrollably outside the fast food restaurant.
He never imagined that his good nephew was sitting in the store!
"Super turkey meatloaf, plus an extra portion of barbecue, a Coke, and a bottle of beer - all on ice." Uncle Vernon's appetite was much larger than Harry's, so he ordered more, which was enough to fill the table.
Got two dinner plates.
Coincidentally, he also took a fancy to Harry's "Feng Shui throne". So, without knowing it, his uncle and nephew sat at the same dining table.
Harry tried hard to hold his breath and control himself not to make any sound.
"It smells so good!" Uncle Vernon sniffed and sighed, "This is life!"
He smelled the aroma of the super meat buns in Harry's arms. But it did not arouse Uncle Vernon's suspicion: Isn't it normal for the aroma of barbecue in a barbecue shop? He just felt that he had eaten too much.
Heaven's "grass", people have become too sensitive.
But before Uncle Vernon's food was delivered, the store door was pushed open.
A familiar voice came over.
"A super turkey meatloaf, extra barbecue, iced Coke, two, no, three donuts."
It was Dally's voice, and he also slipped out while Aunt Petunia was taking her lunch break.
Harry:(ノ￣▽￣)Happy.
Uncle Vernon: (f*ck*)
Dali was also unlucky. The fast food restaurant was open on the corner of the street. As long as he walked a few more steps and turned around, he would see his father's car parked outside, but he didn't.
So when he was looking for an empty seat with an iced Coke in one hand and a donut in the other, he saw his father sitting on the chair with a straight face, his whole face turned the color of pig liver. It was very interesting.
Harry, Vernon, and Dally chose the same table for some unknown reason.
This coincidence of heart-to-heart connection between father and son could not extinguish Uncle Vernon's anger, and his roar almost tore off the roof of the fast food restaurant.
Listening to Uncle Vernon's roar, Harry grinned. It was only at this moment that he really felt like he was spending his summer vacation.

After finishing writing in the evening, I felt hungry and cooked a pot of noodles... Emperor Ha, you have done many evil things. You are really a sinful Erha!
