August 1, 1995.

Diagon Alley.

Zhang Qiu and Harry were heading towards the largest shop in Diagon Alley.

Penelope Crivat's first major wizarding mall in the wizarding world opened shortly after Harry opened last year.

Because of the special year of the Goblet of Fire, Harry didn't come back for the Christmas break, and he had no idea how the magic supermarket was going.

Penelope, however, often wrote to Harry to report back to him, giving full play to his duties as a secretary.

Although she was familiar with Muggle supermarkets, she went to learn more about some of the best supermarket chains in the world.

Walmart in the United States, Carrefour in France, Tesco in the United Kingdom, and so on.

Learned a lot of experience and analyzed how to open a wizard supermarket with magical features in the wizarding world.

In the middle of Diagon Alley, there is a large building that does not fit in with the surrounding dirty and narrow shops.

The floor is huge and shining, and when you look through the transparent glass, you can see a variety of colorful goods.

There is also a brand new row of elevators that lead to the upper four floors.

This new type of store functions as a discount store, supermarket, antique store, supermarket, restaurant, clothing store, bookstore, drugstore, convenience store, etc., selling food, groceries, clothing, and a variety of other goods.

In this supermarket, you can buy 90% of the magic goods on the market, and you no longer need to run east and west to buy things.

Now all wizards in the world already know the name of this supermarket.

Coming here to buy things has even become a fad.

Magicians, not much knowledge, this is what everyone knows.

Harry was silent as he looked at the glittering sign above his head.

In front of the good "magic supermarket", you have to add two letters "Hp".

"Why do you want to hang my name?" said Harry, frustrated.

Zhang Qiu said: "Didn't you emphasize the need for a brand concept? Penelope's prefix with your name is certainly the best choice. ”

Harry walked in.

There's more space inside, like another diagon alley.

Harry saw a number of familiar shops with branches in them.

For example, the branch of the Blott bookstore, the branch of the Ollivanders wand store...... There were also shops that Harry hadn't heard of and that were famous in other countries.

"Bring me a hot and sour noodles with dragon tendon. "Passing by a dining shop, a wizard shouted.

"Okay, new store opening, buy one get one free, get a glass of nock saliva. ”

......

In addition to the endless stream of wizards in the supermarket, there are also wizards who are like supermarket employees, walking around the supermarket in standard clothes, they may carry a cake from the counter of Duke Honey, or a few books, or a set of crucibles, or a flying broomstick.

After asking the pretty witch at the checkout to quote the price, she uses the apparition to manifest and leaves with the goods.

Zhang Qiu pointed to the wizard in the yellow and blue robes suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Harry, what are these people doing? ”

"This was one of the owner's peculiar ideas. A nice voice came.

Penelope walked slowly.

It's only been a year since I saw her, but she gives people a feeling of great change.

You know, she just graduated from Hogwarts last year, and she's only nineteen years old this year.

But the self-confidence, self-reliant temperament makes it hard to believe that she is not yet twenty.

Penelope wears a black wizard's robe, with slender thighs and a beautiful figure that sets off the robe like a cheongsam.

Harry pointed to Penelope's bulging chest and said, "Which tailor made you a dress that is not uncomfortable to be bound like this?"

Zhang Qiu: "......"

Penelo: "......"

Penelope wouldn't have said that she had deliberately changed into a smaller robe after knowing that Harry would be coming to direct the work today.

"Ahem......" Zhang Qiu coughed slightly and said, "You haven't explained the question to me just now." ”

Penelope smiled sweetly, knowing that this dark-haired girl, who was three or four years younger than her, was her boss lady...... One.

"At the beginning of the opening, the boss said that he would add such a department, and the wizard who did not want to come would order a phone call for the wizard with the apparition certificate to deliver the goods to his door, and gave it a strange name, called "Mei Hunger", which I don't even understand the meaning of this name now. ”

Zhang Qiu said with interest: "Is that useful?"

Penelope looked at Harry adoringly and said, "When the supermarket gets more and more traffic, more and more wizards are willing to shop this way. ”

"It's not just wizards who can't apparition, but some wizards who can apparition will also have "Hungry" employees deliver to their homes because they don't have time or don't want to go out. For example, when we conducted a questionnaire, there was a witch who said that when she wore an apron to prepare lunch for a guest, she found that there was not enough meat, and it was not convenient to come out, so she only needed to make a phone call, and all the ingredients she needed were delivered to her door in a few minutes. ”

Zhang Qiu said: "So powerful!",

Penelope said: "This job pays well, five insurances and one housing fund, holidays, weekends, and more young wizards are applying for this position recently, and I am considering whether to expand the size of this department." Boss, what do you say?"

Harry said, "I don't usually get involved in management, you're in charge, you just decide." ”

Penelope said: "There are several floors above, there are more types, boss, do you want to accompany you up to have a look?"

Harry shook his head, "No, I'm just going to just walk around and leave now." ”

Penelope let out a disappointed "Ao".

"Oh, Merlin! it's spectacular!"

"If we can convince our parents to open a small shop here, how profitable it will be. ”

Two voices came from the boy one louder than the other.

A pair of very active twins looked left and right, and from time to time they let out exclamations and walked towards Harry.

It was as soon as I was on vacation, I heard about the Wizard's Supermarket in Diagon Alley, and I wanted to come and see George, the Fred brothers.

The two brothers saw Harry.

Fred asked excitedly, "Harry, I heard that you opened this supermarket?"

George rolled his eyes: "Aren't you talking nonsense, isn't the name of the supermarket the best evidence." And don't you see who's in front of Harry?"

"You're Penelope Crivat! I remember you, you were in the Daily Prophet last year because the Ministry of Magic named you one of the 10 most outstanding young wizards in Britain. ”

Penelope smiled faintly.

George itched and said, "Can we open a shop here?"

"Of course, you can set up a counter or rent a separate store, like those ones," Penelope said. ”

Penelope pointed not far away, several brands that were very famous in the wizarding world.

Fred swallowed: "Then if we want to open an independent shop like that, how much will it cost?"

Penelope smiled slightly, stretched out his palm, and showed a few fingers: "For a month, if you want to use a larger store, you will have to add more money." ”

George and Fred took a deep breath and looked at each other: "We have saved up for more than ten years, and we can't even reach the threshold. ”

Penelope glanced at Harry and said, "But you know the big boss, so of course it will be a discount." ”

Instead of being rejoiced, George asked another question: "Has Jokowi's Magic Joke Shop opened in your place?"
