Chapter 241, Chinese cuisine in the cauldron bar
For George and Fred, the Triwizard Tournament was indeed a good opportunity to make money. The Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info is not just a "gamble", the winner is 1,000 Galleons, which is a huge amount of money for a low-income wizarding family.
Of course, the Weasley brothers also have absolute confidence in their own abilities, so they dare to participate in this kind of "life-playing" competition. While everyone in the box is interested in the Triwizard Tournament, Bruce also wants to prove his prowess and magical talent to the world. But because of Hermione's explanation, everyone's feelings about it are limited to interest, who would be afraid of longevity?
But Bruce didn't know that none of them could "run away" in the Triwizard Tournament in the future, and someone "inadvertently" joined the competition, and naturally someone would become an assistant and a think tank. In short, these people will be more or less entangled with the Triwizard Tournament.
When the train arrived, Harry was "pulled" onto the train by Vernon Dursley before he could say goodbye to his friends. After a few pleasantries, the others parted, and the Weasleys prepared to return directly to the Burrow, hearing that their goblins were about to be cleaned up again.
Hermione doesn't go home with her parents after handing over her luggage, she goes to the Leaky Cauldron with Bruce, both to ask Dobby's opinion and to be alone as a couple.
But what embarrassed the two was that when Hermione said that they would not go home for the time being, the Granger couple looked at them with a "different" look full of smiles, but the two did not speak, which made Bruce and Hermione feel uncomfortable, and the two left quickly after the last goodbye.
Sitting on the bus, Bruce sighed with palpitations: "Damn it, damn it!" ”
"Who do you think deserves to die?" Hermione glared at him angrily.
"It's not about aunts and uncles." Bruce smiled wryly, "I'm describing how I feel right now." Honey, the look in your parents' eyes...... Okay, what's that? Do you know about us? ”
Hermione said nonchalantly, "If you know, you know, what are you afraid of!" My parents have been together since they were twelve. ”
"I'll go!" Bruce was very surprised by these words, and said, "My father-in-law is a senior!" ”
"Die!"
The Leaky Cauldron, the most prestigious bar in the wizarding world, never lacks customers every day. When the two walked in, the bar was filled with all kinds of customers. If this were the case in the past, Tom, as the boss, would have to greet customers.
But now, although there are many people in the bar, Tom is still sitting at the counter, and there are hardly any waiters in the restaurant, but the customers are not urging. If you look closely, you will see that the wine glasses are floating in the crowd and then placed in front of the guests, and you can still hear the words "thank you, Dobby".
Dobby, who was short in stature, came to the counter cheerfully and said to Tom, "Mr. Tom, the gentlemen at table three are going to settle the bill, and this is what they paid." Here's the tip they give to Dobby. ”
"Oh, you're awesome, Dobby!" Tom laughed, "I really want to thank Bruce for introducing you here." ”
At this time, Bruce walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Tom, since you want to thank you, please invite me to have a drink." ”
"Huh? Oh! Bruce. Tom saw Bruce and smiled, "I was just wondering when you'll be back, welcome home my kid!" Oh, welcome, Hermione! ”
Hermione laughed, "Thank you, Mr. Tom!" ”
Dobby also greeted politely, "Welcome back, Bruce, Miss Granger." Dobby really misses you so much. ”
"Looks like you're getting better, Dobby!" Bruce laughed.
Dobby said proudly: "Of course, Dobby is now the only waiter at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and everyone loves Dobby's service very much, and Dobby often receives tips from customers." ”
Bruce laughed, "Awesome, Dobby!" Mr. Tom, you quit all the other waiters? ”
"Dobby is enough!" Mr. Tom said, "Of course, I also gave Dobby a raise. ”
"Twice the salary! Bruce, thank you so much Mr. Tom! Dobby said.
Tom laughed, "You deserve it, Dobby!" ”
"Dobby, why hasn't my topping come up yet!" One guest urged.
Dobby hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sir! Here it comes. Sorry, Bruce. I'm going to get to work. ”
"Of course, go ahead!" Bruce laughed.
Hermione looked at the busy Dobby and smiled, "If Dobby can join us, I am confident that I can definitely do more with less." ”
"Join?" Tom asked curiously, "Hi, Bruce Hermione!" You two aren't going to poach Dobby from me, are you? ”
"Huh!" Bruce laughed, "Of course not, Mr. Tom!" Hermione founded a club at school, the Elf Blessing Society. Designed to improve the encounters of house-elves. ”
Tom immediately said, "Hey, that's a great idea, kids! It's really pitiful what happened to Dobby's companions, and a lot of the customers at our bar have talked about it, and I think it's a good time for this club to be formed, and I think a lot of people will support it. ”
"What a good idea!" Bruce said suddenly.
"Huh?" Hermione and Tom looked at him curiously, not understanding what he meant.
The so-called "the speaker is speechless, the listener has a heart", Tom's words are simply expressing his own opinion, but it is simply a perfect idea to Bruce.
Hermione asked, "What do you think?" Bruce. ”
Bruce hurriedly said, "How did I forget Taizu's old man's method!" My dear, Mr. Tom is a brilliant idea. ”
Tom was also stunned and asked in surprise, "...... me Did I say anything? ”
Hermione seemed to understand Bruce's words, and said, "You mean to develop outside of school, but didn't I think of this before?" ”
Bruce immediately explained, "Yes, but we were thinking about being inside and outside of school, and now that Mr. Tom says that, we can spread the word outside of school." You see, so many people are now disgusted with this slavery, and what a force it would be if we could mobilize the common people! ”
Hermione thought for a moment and asked, "But our ultimate goal is the Ministry of Magic, and you must know that the power is in their hands." ”
Bruce said: "But the nobility is a minority after all, although the consciousness of the wizarding world lags behind the outside, but don't forget, now the 20th century, the 21st century is almost coming, the people of the Ministry of Magic are not fools, the public is the key to interests." ”
"Hmmm! I think Bruce is right. Mr. Tom said.
Hermione said, "There is some truth to it, but is it reliable? ”
Bruce said: "We are now crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the way of the predecessors is our experience, try to come!" ”
"The experience of the predecessors? Oh yes! What did you just say...... Taizu's method? Who is Taizu? Hermione asked curiously.
Bruce smiled: "China's founding head, Mao Weiren!" He said: Mobilize the masses and rely on the masses. ”
"Uh-huh!" Hermione nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to read his book when I get back tonight." ”
In this way, an inadvertently "revolutionary line" was born. In the evening, when the guests at the bar were almost gone, Tom asked Dobby to cook a very special dinner, which is worth mentioning as Chinese dishes. Seeing such a "magical" delicacy, Hermione naturally wanted to try it.
"Woohoo! Dobby, your craft is awesome! It's just delicious. Hermione said as she ate, unladylike.
Dobby smiled, "Thanks for the compliment, Miss Granger." These are all recipes provided by Bruce, and Dobby just does it. ”
Almost all house-elves have good cooking skills, and Dobby is no exception. Since there are such conditions, Bruce will definitely not let go of a good opportunity to make money. He told Dobby about some of the dishes he knew, and there was "Stirling-style Chinese food"!
"It's so delicious, I've eaten some Chinese food in Chinatown before, but Dobby is much better than them." Hermione exclaimed.
Bruce said: "Of course, it's not blowing, Dobby's skills are completely comparable to many Chinese chefs." ”
Dobby was very happy to get the compliment, and said smugly: "Miss Granger can come every day if she likes to eat Dobby's food, and now the Leaky Cauldron Bar serves Chinese food all day." ”
"No wonder business is so good at the Cauldron Bar right now." Hermione said.
Tom laughed, "yes, thanks to Dobby and Bruce, they have a lot to do with the business now." Oh, I almost forgot. ”
Tom stood up and went to the counter, took out a notebook and handed it to Bruce, and said, "Bruce, this is your share, I have deposited it in your Gringotts account, take a look." ”
Because of Chinese food, Bruce's dividends naturally rose a lot.
"Wow! So much money. Hermione saw the numbers in the notebook and said in surprise: "You are still crying poor at school, but it is really hypocritical." ”
Bruce smiled wryly: "It's nice to look at, but that's all my net worth." ”
At this point, Mr. Tom said, "Bruce, why don't you open a shop if you're so good at business?" ”
Bruce said helplessly: "I want to too, but it will be bad once I lose it, after all, I still count on them for my tuition and living expenses!" Alas, it would be nice if the money could have children. ”
After dinner, Bruce and Hermione told Dobby about the "Elf Blessing Society", and when Dobby heard that they were working hard for the "liberation" of his race, he cried with excitement and insisted on joining them.
Dobby's attitude was also expected by Bruce, but what happened next can be described as "peak and round".
Dobby said that after he was freed, he went to find the house-elves he knew before, in fact, he had long thought about letting more companions be free, but he didn't expect those elves to hate Dobby very much, and he showed strong opposition and disgust for getting the owner's clothes.
Although they had expected this situation, the real situation was much more serious, which would undoubtedly give their target a big hello. (To be continued.) )
