Chapter 81 Industrial Expansion

The straight-line distance from Nozawa to Hogwarts is more than 200 kilometers.

The Shafiq family has property in Fir Hill in Hogsmeade North, a quarter of an hour's walk from Hogsmeade Station.

However, on August 31, the public owl of Hogwarts still sent a letter asking Kane to take the Hogwarts train to the school to report, and attach a ticket.

Catherine looked smug. The bet won.

Kane sighed, he had learned the British rigidity thoroughly.

He complained: "The Hogwarts train without a stopover, and the knight bus, these are all non-performing assets that need to be subsidized, right?"

Of course, there are many more slots, and the train, as an old-fashioned vehicle, is extremely inefficient in comparison, sitting in a small space for seven hours. It's far worse than using the Floo network.

Moreover, the students who went to Hogwarts came from various wizarding families, and these wizarding families were scattered all over Britain.

Every year at the beginning of the school year and the holidays, students can only arrive at King's Cross Station in London by various means, and then take this special train to Hogwarts.

Dogmatic, showy, uneconomical, inefficient, uncomfortable, and unsafe.

It doesn't matter, it's just a prelude to a grand ceremony.

On the first day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and he kissed Catherine goodbye, and Catherine said with tears: "I have never been away from you for so long." ”

Kane looked helpless. He felt that the roles were reversed, and Catherine was more like the child who was about to leave her parents to go to school.

"In five days, we'll spend the weekend together at Fir Villa, and we'll be patient. ”

"Oh!"

After a little more staggering with Catherine, Kane hit the road.

In addition to the large suitcase, he was carrying two bags that used the Traceless Stretching Charm and the Shrinking Charm.

One is a tool backpack and the other is a school bag, so all personal belongings have a place to stay.

One lift, one back, one pull, neat and convenient.

Kane was satisfied, feeling that he had the characteristics of a veteran business traveler, capable and low-key, and in the eyes of those who cared, there was no lack of taste and luxury.

He has a good impression of British taxis, like a fat beetle, with a large interior space, not as aggrieved as an ordinary car, and the ride experience is better, and most of his brothers are not talkative, and they are a little gentlemanly reserved.

He was driven from a small inn in the south-east of Exmoor National Park. The hotel, called 'bagpipes', is the window to the outside of the summer palace.

From the very beginning of its existence, the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce has been recognized by the industry as being good at integrating into the Muggle community.

The Bagpipe Inn, as a wizard-themed special inn, is a chain, a mid-range business hotel, as well as a rest stop and refuge for wizards.

It is worth mentioning that due to the comfortable environment, thoughtful service and strong characteristics, its business is very good, and it has branches in Europe and the United States, but it is in the United Kingdom, which opened late and was fully rolled out this year.

However, the summer palace is the first store.

As it turns out, the stereotypical English wizards also have a basic IQ, and they are not so conservative that they have to live in the shabby places of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, which is close to the railway line and the wet market.

They quickly accepted the Bagpipe Inn, and said without blushing, "This is what we think the Wizard's Inn should be." ”

Indeed, their fancy dress is not conspicuous here, and the innkeeper knows how to serve them, and has specially trained house-elves at the service of them, so that they can feel the dignity of the superior people.

Interestingly, there is no shortage of ordinary people staying here.

Muggles who come to stay here have real wizards as part of the inn's themed culture.

True wizards are generally more arrogant. For this reason, the hotel had to hang signs in the lobby and even in the corridor, indicating that there were real wizards here, so don't harass, wizards are generally not very good-tempered, and they are more eccentric.

As a result, no one believed the truth, and at the same time, it created an established fact similar to hunger marketing, and some people came to live there specifically to see the so-called real wizards.

Some people just like the mysterious atmosphere of being neighbors with wizards, and some even live in it as if they were renting an apartment.

This is also a feature of the British hotel business. After settling an account, many people find that they have to pay for the house and hire a servant, so the monthly expenses are not much less than staying in a hotel, so why not enjoy the services provided by the hotel and save money and time to do something else? Anyway, the inheritance tax is so high, you have to invest a lot of money in the early stage.

The taxi was moving slowly, and soon after entering London, a restaurant with a chic exterior came into view.

Sauron's Wizard's Restaurant.

This also belongs to the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce, and is also a wizard theme.

The improvement of food skills needs the support of economic backing, so that it can be greatly enriched. To put it bluntly, you have to have money, and at the same time, there are enough people to play this in order to play enough tricks.

In this regard, Kane, who was a citizen of the Great Foodie Empire in his previous life, did not obey anyone in any country.

Don't look at the modern and modern times of the Celestial Empire, the people's lives are poor, and even in dire straits, but she was a group that led civilization for a thousand years before, and the accumulation of years is not comparable to that of Europe in the twelfth century.

Even the French food industry is not convinced, and the things that the British eat are naturally even less eye-catching. The so-called Hogwarts food in the HP movies in his memory is completely lackluster when it looks colorful and carefully analyzed.

He also knows that people in different regions have different tastes, just like innovative non-authentic Celestial Empire dishes such as Zuo Zongtang chicken are very popular in the United States, Celestial Dynasty people think they are delicious and suitable for taste, but foreigners may not feel the same way, after all, Celestial Empire itself still has a distinction between sweet in the south and salty in the north, spicy in the east and sour in the west.

So what is the real heart of the British appetite?

The old aunt Pandora is the king's precursor and has helped him prove the value of mystical spices.

Among the magical plants of the wizarding world, there are also natural spices that can be used.

Some people may say that other wizards haven't discovered it for thousands of years, but you can find it when you come?

Not to mention, Kane just dares to set up this flag, there are allusions to the three steaming and three ripening of the Celestial Dynasty, the development of mysterious spices, and there are many routines that can be played.

Moreover, he was a druid in his previous life, even if he later specialized in bioengineering, genetics, flesh and blood golems, life alchemy, etc., due to the needs of swarm construction, botany, as a sub-discipline of life, is still used from time to time.

The time in this life is relatively abundant, fleeing when he is young, and all the conditions are also handed, which can only pave the way for the opening of the swarm system, including plant identification and research, and dozens of potions can be developed in recent years, which is the accumulation and thinness of those years. The search and research and development of edible spices is a piggybacking hand.

Sauron's wizard's restaurant, the first to land in France.

There, the restaurant is known for its 'cabbage tofu, simplicity is the most test of culinary skills. As a gimmick, with 30 million US dollars (30 million in 80 years is still OK) as a reward, a cooking competition was held, and it became famous in one fell swoop, and then took advantage of the momentum to become famous all over the world.

At the end of last year, in just two years, 137 branches were opened around the world, all of which were on fire and none of them failed.

Some British people are also jealous of this, saying that the theme of authentic British people is very British, but there is no restaurant in the United Kingdom, and the Baron of the Highlands thinks that the British are not worthy of eating the food of the Stuart Dynasty?

Kane said in his heart: "I really put gold on my face!"

Of course, he will not debunk this lie.

This era was not as well informed as it was in later generations, and people were generally more comfortable, so once some of the claims were confirmed, then the name of 'cooking food since the time of the Stuart dynasty' could be carried out in the future.

In the future, there will be more and more people who give themselves historical titles, but there will only be fewer and fewer that can be universally recognized.

So this year, not only did we open 13 stores in the UK in one go. In the Celestial Empire, seven more stores were also filled. At present, the Celestial Empire and the United States are in the honeymoon period, and many young people feel that the moon in foreign countries is particularly round, how could Kane miss this rare window period?

The thirteen restaurants opened in the UK have now been on track after a period of word-of-mouth accumulation.

It not only sells culture, sells special dishes, but also sells flavors, there is a delicious chicken, people only need to eat it once, basically can't leave, they will eat it once a week.

This is also one of his business purposes, to cultivate the dining habits of diners. It's just right to eat once a week, which is not only satisfying but also not a consumption burden, and eating it frequently tastes very bad.

For this purpose, the restaurant also has a special scientific argument about the stimulation and recovery cycle of spices on the taste buds.

There are several more such explanations.

So people can accept it, not think it's magic and witchcraft, but the store's business and can play.

In fact, scientists and experts don't lie? The money god said that I don't usually lose......
