Chapter 35: Enthusiastic Garon
As soon as I walked into the Duke Bee candy store, I was greeted by a smell of creamy sugar. As far as the eye can see, there are many shelves in the candy store with all kinds of sweets and snacks on the shelves.
Albert recognized several at a glance, several large jars in front of him containing buttered peanut candy, toffee and nougat.
There were still some green lollipops hanging neatly next to the shelves, and Albert picked one up and was about to check the introduction next to it, when a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch this, it's sour pop candy, very sour. George put one hand on Albert's shoulder, pointed to the product description, and explained, "Fred used to buy one for Ron, our brother, and it ended up burning a hole in his tongue, so Mom beat Fred with a broomstick." ”
Fred glared at his twin brother dissatisfied, and protested, "You obviously bought that sour pop candy." ”
"I didn't let you give it to Ron. George looked innocent.
Looking at the unrepentant twin brothers, Albert quietly put the sour pop candy back on the shelf.
It can burn people's tongues through, but this thing is actually made of sulfuric acid!
"What is this?"
In the corner of the wall on the left side of the entrance, there are small mice of various colors, crawling on the plastic board on the wall, like living mice.
"It's an ice mouse. Lee Jordan introduced Albert: "If you eat it, you will feel very cold, so cold that your teeth will tremble, and after eating the candy, there will be a creaking sound in your stomach, by the way, a bit like Jokowi's squeaky gummies." ”
"Funny sweets. Albert withdrew his gaze from the ice rat and walked to the right shelf, where there was a large vat of multi-flavored beans of various colors, a large plastic vat next to it was a variety of flavored gummies, and the shelves above were neatly arranged with various chocolates.
Albert took two boxes of chocolate frogs and stared at the large pieces of chocolate, which he bought on the train last time and felt better than the chocolate frogs.
Well, by the way, some chocolate chips.
Albert walked to the counter with a variety of chocolate goods.
Behind the counter, a smiling woman said, "It's 4 sike 10 nats." ”
"Oh, ma'am, we're meeting again!" Albert looked at the train salesman in surprise, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually the proprietress of Duke Bee?
"It's you, honey, do you need any other candy?" the woman recognized Albert as well. After all, it's not uncommon to see customers who buy all the items on their carts.
"Do you have any recommendations?" said Albert, no wonder you can see a lot of candy sold on the train.
"Exploding sandwich gummies, which are very popular with students, will explode slightly if you bite into them. Of course, it doesn't hurt people. The woman poured an explosive gummy from the jar and handed it to Albert.
"Try?"
She never hesitates to smile and serve potential customers. Of course, this has to do with the Galleon in the other party's pocket.
Albert took the explosive gummy and took a bite into it, the strawberry-flavored filling. The next moment, a slight explosion came from the side of his mouth, and those who did not know it would probably be startled.
This should fall into the category of joke utensils, but the gummies taste good.
After Albert bought some explosive sandwich gummies, the shopkeeper became more enthusiastic, she helped Albert put the explosive sandwich gummies into paper bags, and began to introduce the various sweets and desserts in the store.
"Jelly slug candy, you may have eaten it, this is one of the hot selling products in our store. ”
Albert glanced at the long slug-shaped gummies and raised his eyebrows slightly, it was more appropriate to say jelly slugs than jelly slugs. However, he didn't like gummies, so he didn't plan to buy them, and the slug was a little disgusting to think about.
The candy store also has a variety of sweets and desserts, such as the famous pot cakes, chocolate balls, bee candy, lollipop quills...... The variety of candies in the store dazzled the four of them.
"It's ...... Cockroaches?" Albert felt a little uncomfortable as he looked at the black bugs crawling in the glass jar. Next to the glass jar, there are some cockroach strings, their legs still shaking slightly.
"It's a cockroach pile. The woman introduced, "One of the sweets that Headmaster Dumbledore often buys from us. Of course, not everyone will be able to accept candy in this shape. ”
I guess Dumbledore will like this thing!
"Have you eaten?" Albert asked, and the three of them shook their heads in unison.
The woman winked at Albert and said, "There are milk gummy flies that pop in your mouth when you eat them, and blood-smelling lollipops, which are very popular with most vampires." ”
"If you want to treat others badly, I recommend the pepper little urchin, after eating it, his mouth will be spicy......"
They stayed in Duke Bee's candy shop for at least half an hour, and before leaving, the proprietress gave Albert a shopping list of the store, winked at him, and said, "If you want to buy candy, you can use the owl mail, and it's better not to sneak out on your own." ”
When he left the candy store, Albert had another paper bag in his hand, which contained the candied pineapple he had bought from the candy store, for which he paid 10 sicos.
"This stuff isn't bad. Albert took a bite of the pineapple preserve.
"I always felt that the proprietress was very warm to you. Lee Jordan said a little jealously. From beginning to end, Duke Bee's proprietress was very hospitable to Albert.
The twins also nodded in agreement with Li Jordan's words, and at this moment, their mouths were also stuffed with pineapple preserves.
"She's just passionate about Garon, not about me. Albert looked at the expression on Lee Jordan's face and felt a little funny.
In addition to this bag of pineapple preserves, Albert also bought a lot of things in the store, and the caring proprietress said that she would help Albert mail the items to Hogwarts, so that he would not be able to get so many things.
When the four of them returned to the castle, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and after a few hours of walking around Hogsmeade, all four of them were tired from walking, but they all thought it was an interesting trip to Hogsmeade.
"Where have you been?" Percy Weasley sat down next to the four, staring at the paper bag in front of them, frowning slightly.
"It's a secret!"
The twins looked at each other and smiled mysteriously, of course they wouldn't have said they were going to Hogsmeade, or Percy wouldn't have written home a letter.
The Duke's proprietress was very efficient, and not long after Albert returned to the auditorium, the owl helped deliver the package.
"I think we'd better go back to the common room. Noticing that the package was attracting the attention of the others, Albert beckoned the three of them to help them return to Gryffindor's common room with the package.
Looking at the backs of the four departing, Percy's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
