Chapter 101: Alchemy, Eternal God~
"Haha, old Tom, I'm Ted back!"
Ted pushed the door in with the shadow of Hu Hansan, and smiled at Old Tom who was sorting out the cups at the counter.
"You kid!" Old Tom knew that it was a day off at Hogwarts, and wondered if Ted would come back to live. I didn't expect him to come back.
"What? Addicted to living in cubicles? Old Tom joked, and the folds of his face were unfolded.
Ted said arrogantly: "No, this time I will open a room of the first class of Tianzi, we will have money!" Resident! β
"Yo~" Old Tom looked Ted up and down, he had learned a good year last year.
But it looks like it's grown a little taller and a lot, but it doesn't look like it's rich.
Besides, you can earn money when you go to school, what kind of character?
"Okay, for the sake of old friends, you will be counted as a 20% discount for permanent residence." Old Tom untied one from a bunch of keys and tossed it to Ted, "You know where it is, go yourself." β
Ted took the keys, went up to the second floor, and set up his luggage in a large, sunny room. I went downstairs and said hello to old Tom and went to the backyard.
He took out his wand and tapped on the bricks on the wall, and Diagon Alley appeared. Well, no one is as bad as a book friend, and they are moving garbage bins and building walls.
Ted went to Gringotts first, and he had to get some money.
A balding white-haired old goblin, using a magnifying glass and a scale, scrutinized the piece of gold that Ted had taken out.
He didn't believe that Ted could come up with such a small piece of gold, after all, Ted's outfit had already told others that he was not very wealthy.
Fairy creatures are most accustomed to watching people put on their dishes.
However, after careful inspection several times, it is indeed real gold, and it is extremely pure.
In the end, Ted exchanged 1 ounce (28.3 grams) of gold for 64 Galleons!
A wave of fat!
That's just the gold that Ted converted from brass with alchemy this month, and that's not all, he still has three smaller nuggets in his hand!
(The previous content has been changed to 100 grams per month.) I apologize, I didn't have too much evidence when I wrote it before, and nearly 40 catties of gold a month is too much, I admit that I didn't understand, I'm sorry math teacher. οΌ
With alchemy alone, Ted now earns at least around 220 Galleons a month!
Alchemy, the eternal god~
But after all, in the original book, Dumbledore gave Dobby, an unemployed house-elf, a salary of 10 Galleons a week, or 40 Galleons a month.
In the middle and upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic, the salary can probably reach 250 Galleons (about 12,500 soft girl coins in 1991).
Either way, at least Ted's daily life wasn't a problem at all. There's even money left over to do some research on magic.
Ted thought about it and exchanged another 20 Galleons for 100 pounds.
The goblin who did the business was startled: "Are you sure you want to exchange pounds?" β
You know, the exchange of pounds for Galleons, goblins often do it. After all, many half-blood or Muggle wizards have to redeem it.
But there are not many gold galleons exchanged for pounds, and you may not even meet them once a year!
"That's right, Β£100, thank you. I'm in a hurry. β
Old Leprechaun: I've never heard anything like this! You testify to me, he asked me to change it!
Gold for Galleons, Galleons for Pounds, here is two harvests!
β¦β¦
After leaving Gringotts, Ted went to Mr. Giggs's pharmacy.
He still plans to work in Diagon Alley during the holidays.
Before last year's Christmas break, Ted and his first graders signed a contract with the Ministry of Magic, which was a contract magic, and after signing it, the wand was "traced" and able to sense that someone nearby was using magic.
This was a means of restricting the use of magic by young wizards of Muggle families in the Muggle world. A means of preventing the exposure of the wizarding world.
Now that Ted wants to use magic at will during the holidays, he can only stay in Diagon Alley. It's full of wizards, and the Ministry of Magic can't determine who is using magic, so it's not illegal.
Those little wizards from wizarding families don't have to worry about this, because they can push it on their parents. But like Hermione, she couldn't use magic during the holidays.
Although Ted still has to stay in Diagon Alley, he doesn't need to work several more part-time jobs.
This time he only worked at Mr. Glass's pharmacy, and spent the rest of the time teaching himself and studying magic.
"Hi ~ Mr. Giggs, long time no see." Ted pushed the door open and saw Mr. Giggs scrambling with a large number of different herbs.
From June to August, when all kinds of medicinal materials are produced, pharmacies and potions workshops will purchase large quantities of medicinal materials, and then process them for sales reserves in the coming year, or for their own use.
After this period of time, many medicinal herbs cannot be picked and used, and they will have to wait for next year. Therefore, there are many hoarding goods, and the types are very varied.
When Ted worked part-time last year, he had to learn seven or eight new medicinal herbs every day. After going back, you have to memorize information such as the properties of the drug, its effects, contraindications, and treatment methods.
Mr. Giggs didn't expect Ted to be of great help at first, but he turned out to be a "little genius"!
To be honest, if it weren't for the "Memory Palace" and [Rejuvenating (Green)] cards, Ted would never have survived that time.
Mr. Giggs looked up and saw that it was Ted who had entered the door, and immediately smiled: "Oh, boy, are you on vacation?" Hopefully, your school career is wonderful enough. By the way, I remember you said in your letter that you got a Ravenclaw, right? That's good, we Ravenclaws are the smartest! β
That's right, Mr. Giggs is also a Ravenclaw graduate.
Ted walked straight over, expertly rolled up his sleeves, put on his dragonskin gloves, and began sorting the herbs and doing simple sub-packingβand then several steps to process.
Ted adjusts the scales to ensure that the weight of each serving is consistent, then wraps it in oiled paper and sets it aside.
"My year at school was a dream for me, and everything but Professor Snape was perfect." He joked with a hippie smile.
"Oh, Snape! Yes, my God~" Mr. Giggs shrugged, "That guy always has a gloomy face, I can't even imagine what it would be like for him to be a professor!" β
Mr. Giggs was a few years younger than James Potter, Sirius, and Snape, and saw firsthand the struggle between the school's most prominent figures.
"But I have to say, his potion level is beyond doubt. I even think in some ways he has a good chance of surpassing Professor Slughorn - oh, our Potions Professor, the previous Head of Slytherin. Mr. Giggs explained.
If Ted was just a kid about to step into the wizarding world when he was working last year, he is now an alumnus of Mr. Giggs. And it's an academy!
The relationship is even more different, and there are more topics.
Ted complained to him about the old Potions textbooks, the potions taught had no practical value, and they were not systematic to learn.
Mr. Giggs complained endlessly, saying that his father learned this set of textbooks when he was in school, and it seems that his son may have to learn this set of textbooks as well.
"It's not for me to say, Arseny Giger's Magic Potions and Potions is a good book, but it was originally published decades ago! Not to mention anything else, just the new medicinal herbs that appeared after the intersection of the two celestial stars, it was not recorded! β
Mr. Giggs fiddled with a fresh bouquet of tranquilizing flowers in his hand, "Unfortunately, no one in the wizarding world has written a new one now, it's too difficult. Just like this Ningshen flower, which has been discovered for 12 years, six important roles have been discovered one after another. β
"Anyone who writes halfway through the book will find that what they have written is outdated, can't keep up with the changes, and will collapse."
This situation is equivalent to a graduate student studying astronomy, studying a star for several years, but halfway through the paper, the star exploded! It collapsed on the spot!
The herbs were processed for nearly two hours, and the preliminary packaging was only completed at noon, and the next step was to carry out the preliminary processing and encapsulation. Then in a few days, there may be new herbs arrived.
Mr. Giggs looked at the time: "Don't leave at noon, let's have a meal together, I'll please." β
He looked at Ted, "Looks like you don't want to spend any time in the Muggle world during the holidays?" Why don't you continue to help me? You know how busy it is right now, I sometimes don't have time for dinner, and I don't have time to make a lot of common potions when they are sold out. β
Ted was willing, and he wanted to take advantage of the holidays to learn more about herbs and potions with Mr. Giggs.
Although Mr. Giggs is certainly not as good as Snape, Mr. Giggs is willing to teach!
After lunch, and after a busy afternoon, Ted took his leave.
He first went back to the orphanage, met his grandmother, and after a long greeting, left 100 pounds.
"Mama, I have a good life in school, and I still have the opportunity to work and study, this is some of the money I have saved, I hope to help the orphanage."
Mama is naturally reluctant to ask for it, "You already have a lot of money in the Christmas mail, you are still young, and there are still a lot of places to use money!" β
Ted smiled, "Mama, you forgot, I can still sing!" I don't plan to stay this holiday, I'll continue to work and sing. You take it......"
