"First guest, seems like my pleasure?" Snape said in a snarling voice, looking at the shop as he entered, frowning at first, but quickly showing thought.

Obviously.

It was different from what Snape knew of as a pharmacy.

This pharmacy in Ringo.

A few days ago, Daisy had already asked Daisy to send someone to decorate it - the style was very similar to the big pharmacy in the Muggle world, neatly and cleanly arranged all kinds of cabinets, and there were markings on them, what skin potions, orthopedic potions, generic potions, patented potions......

Although the cupboard is still empty.

But at a glance, even Snape, who was accustomed to the weird Potions environment, suddenly felt a little indescribable.

It's not bad.

It's a little ...... Too tall?

It was as if he had suddenly become a person who had never seen the world, and he walked to a palatial abode, so that he did not dare to move.

"The professor is too modest, as a Potions Master, it would be my honor to entertain you." Ringo pulled out a chair for Snape, pointed to the cupboard, and said, "Professor, how do you feel?" ”

"Not bad." Snape sat down, "But you don't have a potion here, haven't you gotten it yet?" And there are also patented potions, is it possible that the patented potions will also be sold at two discounts? ”

"Yes." Ringo nodded, "All of them will be sold at two discounts, of course, Kenneng will make adjustments according to the sales situation in the future, but overall, it will not make the potions so expensive." ”

Snape was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "Why?" ”

"Big machine production of Muggles."

"What?"

"There's no magic in potions, whether it's material handling or heat control, Muggle machines can completely replace wizards, and they are mass-produced. Under normal circumstances, it takes a wizard's full attention for half an hour to make a potion such as a boil remover, and the effect after completion is not guaranteed, but if the machine produces, it still only needs one person, as long as the materials are sufficient, hundreds or thousands of copies can be made at the same time in half an hour, and the quality of each copy is basically the same......"

Ringo takes a wand and uses the marker to manifest.

Painted for Snape.

It doesn't need to be complicated.

Because Snape actually lived in the Muggle world, he was no stranger to some Muggle things, but he didn't care about them before.

But now, with only a slight mention of it, Ringo immediately framed the content in his mind.

And then......

Even if he couldn't help but agree in his heart, Snape still snorted coldly and pointed out the shortcomings: "But I'm afraid that your machine will not be able to produce the perfect potion, and that kind of extremely subtle control, even if it is a machine, it is difficult to ......"

"You're right." Ringo laughed, "So I'm willing to buy the Professor's potion at the original price, and not only that, but I have a suggestion." ”

"Oh?"

"Would the Professor be my Potions Advisor? If you don't like it, you can just put it on the spot, and if you don't want to be troublesome, you can supply me with a limited amount of perfect potions every month, and I will buy the potions at the original price, and at the same time, I will give the same salary as the professor and Hogwarts. ”

"I need to think about it."

"Time waits for no one, Professor." The corners of Ringo's mouth hooked, "It's like a lily that only blooms at a certain time, and once you miss it, there is no ......"

Bang!

Snape put his potion on the counter and looked at Ringo: "You're right, since you have asked for so, I am comfortable with a white-collar salary, of course, I will pay attention to you, I hope your potion will not be discredited as my student......"

……

When the two talked.

On the other side, Bobin stood in front of his pharmacy and kept looking at the other side.

Especially the very targeted slogan.

- What does it mean that the purchase price is always higher than that of Bobin Pharmacy? It's also specially opened directly opposite, this is a provocation!

His face was ugly.

"Yo, Mr. Bobin? What's the situation on the other side? That Shelby opened the pharmacy? It's actually on the opposite side, it's so bold, it's going to compete with you......" The owner of the store next to him also walked out, and after reading the sign opposite, he couldn't help but ridicule Bobin.

Hear the words.

Bobin snorted coldly: "Competition? You really think highly of him, don't you notice? It had been open for a while, and there was not a single person who had gone in to make a reservation. ”

That's right.

Ringo opened the door in the dark at night without warning, and although the neon-lit signs were attractive enough, passers-by were only curious and pointed, and did not make a reservation.

"Really." The man couldn't help but sigh.

"What kind of two-fold magic drugstore, it's nothing more than children messing around, especially potions, this is something that people drink, and the low price makes people suspicious......"

"You're right."

"It's not interesting, let's go, go to sleep."

Bobin sneered and said hello to his neighbor, then turned around and went back to the store, originally he thought that Ringo could do something, but he was so childish that he suddenly didn't care......

And yet—

Early the next morning.

Bobin, who was sleeping in the pharmacy, was woken up by a commotion, which was said to be noisy, but in fact it was a regular shouting, and it came from the opposite side.

Yes.

Even if Bobin was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

At this time, the sound of the opposite side can also be heard:

"The opening is a big reward, the whole potion is booked at two discounts, and if you apply for a membership card, the price will be reduced by half again."

"Don't miss it when you pass by, the two-fold potion, the lowest price in history, the potions master Mr. Severus Snape endorses it, and the quality is guaranteed!"

"Even if you don't buy it, you can come and have a look, free Muggle drinks and pastries are provided, cool summer, cool ......"

Crash!

Bobin couldn't lie down anymore.

He rolled over and got up.

Quickly get dressed, open the door and look at the other side, then ...... He froze.

The shop across the street changed overnight.

Although it was still last night's sign, there were flowers at the door, and in addition to that, there were several well-dressed ladies with trays of drinks and pastries in their hands, constantly greeting passers-by.

And those "set in one" cries.

It keeps coming out of the store.

Frankly......

It's not noisy......

Because the voice is a soft female voice, it is very good, and people can't afford to curse.

Not to mention that there were already quite a few wizards on the street at this time.

See here lively.

I am coming from all over the place.

"Ringo Shelby's potion shop, oh my God, it's really sold at half off!"

"Reservations? Can you book without spending money? ”

"Not only does it cost nothing, but you can also enjoy a drink for free...... Oh, what is this thing? Coke? It tastes awesome! ”

"Hey, you've had a few drinks, do you want to drink more?"

"The clerk didn't say anything? What do you say I do? Besides, I'm not like you...... to be a member."

"This pharmacy is different from Bobin's pharmacy, it's so clean!"

"Snape's endorsement? It's amazing......"

"I heard that Shelby is a Potions genius, and it is obvious that Snape likes it by inviting him to be a Potions Advisor......

"Book it, the child needs a potion just when school starts, and I'm worried about it, but it's only two folds here, it's great, Mr. Shelby is a good person!"

"Shelby is a genius, he not only allowed us to cast spells at home, but also took the initiative to lower the price of potions......"

People are boisterous creatures.

Even if it's a wizard.

- Maybe there will be some scruples in Tumbledown Alley.

But in Diagon Alley.

A lot of wizards still rushed over - especially for wizards, potions were still a necessity, they didn't go to a Muggle hospital when they were sick like Muggles, they all used potions themselves, and they still cared about necessities, especially low-cost necessities.

Even during the time when Bobin was watching with a stiff face.

A dozen more wizards approached.

Apparently ready to book.

Or apply for that so-called membership card......

"Mr. Bobin, it seems that this method is not bad, and so many people have booked." The neighbors also rushed over from the house, and when they saw Bobin with a stiff face, they couldn't help but get angry.

Old stuff......

Let you usually sell medicine so expensive, even your neighbors don't give a preferential price......

"Hmph, just false prosperity." Bobin was still unconvinced, "No matter how fancy the propaganda methods are, on the day the store opens, the potion supply is not scheduled, and that is when his reputation is shattered." ”

"Perhaps, but it has nothing to do with us." The neighbor didn't open the shop, but went straight over there, "but now, it's good news that you can buy potions at a low price." ”

Bobin: "......"

He looked at his neighbor with a blank face.

And not just neighbors.

More and more people went to make reservations, and as time went on, they even began to line up, and because the two-fold potion shop was on the opposite side of their shop.

So......

The tail of the line even went to its side.

"Hey, this is Bobin's pharmacy."

"Boss Bobin is also there......"

"A brief question, Bobin, what do you think of selling potions at half off on the other side?"

"What can you think? It must be angry and envious......"

"I've been watching it for a while, and since just now, there hasn't been a single person who came to Boss Bobin to buy medicine, it's really pitiful......"

"Shhh

"Then I'll have an Iron Armor Spell ......"

"Don't make a fuss, it's like you can unleash the full Iron Armor Spell......"

Bang!

Bobin closed the door and stopped the wave of people who were now starting to taunt him for buying expensive potions—he knew that the group was just like his neighbors.

Laugh when you buy medicine.

I don't know how to orchestrate myself behind my back.

"I want to see how you can take out a bunch of potions in one go, and how you can sell them at a low price for a long time!"

"It's not like there haven't been potions in the past to fight a price war with our Bobin family."

"But it's only for a while."

"Wait, when you cry like they begged me to take over......"

Bobin sat in the unpleasant-smelling store.

Imagining the appearance of Ringo holding his thigh and crying bitterly, and even now worrying about getting enough potions from there, my heart finally felt better.

……

And yet—

Contrary to the truth, Ringo didn't bother with the source of the potion.

Rather, after taking care of the preliminary work.

directly became the shopkeeper.

The rest was left to Sam and Daisy, and he received Sirius' invitation to visit Black's old mansion......
