Chapter 5 Procurement Completion
The making of robes is a long and extravagant act, the former needless to say, the latter is obvious, obviously you can't expect a group of teenagers to be able to wear a set of clothes for a few years, it is a wizard's robe and not a Chinese school uniform, which can be managed for three years.

After giving her opinion to Madame Morkin, Alan left her ready-to-wear shop and began shopping on the streets for her school books and materials and equipment for her Potions class.
Here Alan really wants to complain, that bursary is really not enough, how hard is the Ministry of Magic, from the time of Voldemort to the present, so long has passed, and the bursary has never been enough!
The purchase of Potions materials is a very memorable thing, after all, those processed potion materials do not look much different from Chinese herbs, anyway, many herbs he does not know, and even many Chinese medicines are used as potions, such as bezoar, and for example, the dung stone that saved Ron's life.
However, compared to the smell of medicine in the Chinese medicine shop, the pungent smell of rotten eggs and rotten cabbage leaves in the potion shop was simply unbearable, and Alan was very suspicious that their clerks were using bubble head charms or something, otherwise it was hard to imagine that they could stay in such a hostile environment for so long.
After purchasing a standard dose of potions and matching equipment, Alan rerouted to the bookstore.
However, unlike the famous Blotted bookstore in the original book, Alan entered a second-hand bookstore, not because he didn't have much money, but because he didn't plan to use new books from the beginning.
After promising to pay the shopkeeper twice the price of a regular second-hand book, he got permission from the shopkeeper with a pipe to rummage through the dusty pile of second-hand books for newer ones.
It's a daunting task, especially when the books aren't classified.
Obviously, the shopkeeper didn't pay much attention to these books, which were probably collected by the pound or pocket, after all, the price of these books was only a quarter or less of the original price, and it was obvious that such a small profit was not enough for the shopkeeper to value these things.
The books were roughly divided into several large piles, divided into categories by grade, but Alan was not at all sure that it would be mixed with books used in other grades, after all, judging from the shopkeeper's attitude towards books, these books could not be classified so finely at all.
It is worth mentioning that Alan suspected the shopkeeper countless times that Liu Bei and the black magic books were incidental, because in the process of his selection, several wizards who were obviously past school age came to buy books, and after the shopkeeper took out a paper bag containing two or three books, paid a lot of coins and leftβin the case of those coins, it was more than enough to buy a large pile of books that Allen had picked out now.
However, what is this about him? Compared to the big trouble that is coming, what is the value of a few books of black magic? As for Liu Bei, well, we must be tolerant and examine it with a critical attitude, yes, yes.
Organizing books is a tedious process, after all, Alan needs to go through them one by one to make sure that the textbooks used in class will not be missing pages, vomited, scribbled, etc. Of course, it would be perfect if there were any notes on it, and as for the half-blood prince in the book, it would be perfect.
However, apparently the last item is delusional, and there are very few books with good notes, and the rest can basically only be said to be well maintained.
But this is obviously not all, Alan doesn't always have so much time to hunt for treasures, as long as the other books are not the kind of books that come to spend time, he has roughly looked through them, and picked out more than a dozen books with notes or particularly good preservation, ready to take them away, this is not the Blotted bookstore, which can provide owl ordering business, this freewheeling shopkeeper obviously doesn't have so much heart to expand his business.
However, when he was holding a large pile of books and ready to pay, even the shopkeeper was a little surprised, obviously he was surprised to sell so many books at once, especially after Alan paid double the price, he thought Alan was single-handed.
But this is a good thing, after all, no one thinks that gold galleons are hot, right? He smiled and calculated the price of the book, lit a cigarette, and said to Allen: "Very good vision, a total of 7 Galleons 13 sike 6 nats, Nat will be exempted for you, a total of 7 Galleons and 13 sicos." β
After Alan paid enough money, the boss smiled and took out a paper bag, stuffed it into the pile of books, and leaked a weird smile: "Giveaways, they weren't supposed to be sold to children like you, but you're obviously a little older than that, aren't you?"
What a joke! Alan was furious, am I this kind of person! However, he was not a person who was good at rejecting kindness, so he returned the salute with the purest smile and left the bookstore with a large pile of books.
Then, he quickly went to the corner, put the paper bag in his arms, hum, go back and criticize the book!
Originally, he didn't plan to buy so many books, but now it seems that the plan can't keep up with the changes, who makes these books look good to him, which leads to him now having to buy a box in advance, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to get back so many things, after all, he has stored potions or something on the counter for convenience.
Fortunately, the luggage store is not far away, and the price is quite cost-effective, of course, the inevitable thing is that you get what you pay for, this box only has a spell to scale the space, and the effect is only about twice as much, not to mention where the magical creature is The artifact box with its own space is as high as Hermione's own space shrinking bagγγγγγγ
Still, from the look in the clerk's eyes when he helped him pack the books into boxes, Alan was glad that he had the foresight to put them away.
Next, go to the potion shop, pick up the potion, and complete the procurement task, but unfortunately the system did not announce the completion of the task with a ding, and then give a murder book, useless sticks and other artifacts, cut, and the bewitching sluts outside are as unreliable - Alan scoffs at the system.
However, Allen, who had done all this, found that he had forgotten one thing - his school uniform had not been taken yet!
Alan walked quickly to Mrs. Morkin's shop, he said that he was going to buy, and he would come back after a while, but because he was too serious about picking books, he forgot the time! Looking at his watch, it was only three o'clock, Alan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was not too much, but when he looked up at the sky, he found that the sun was about to set!
Damn, under the magic of Diagon Alley, the watch doesn't work!
When he passed, Lady Morkin was ready to close the door, and with his sincere apology, Lady Morkin quickly forgave him for forgetting time, after all, he was a young wizard who had just entered the wizarding world, and it was understandable.
However, just as he was trying on clothes, a paper bag slipped from his arms and landed on the ground with a thud.
Merlin is above, ma'am, and I can explain thisγγγγγγ
