Chapter 47: The Wind Rises
"Zhang, I just came here."
Malfoy stood at the door of Duke Honey and said helplessly.
"Draco, I didn't come last time, if I don't come around, the next time it's after Christmas.
And there's something else going on with you. β
Zhang Xiao pushed open the door and walked in, and as soon as she entered the door, her nose was immediately filled with a warm, sweet and greasy aroma.
Duke Honey was crowded with Hogwarts students, and Zhang Xiao walked around among them, watching curiously.
If there's a candy house, this is it.
The store has dense shelves, one after the other, filled with the most intriguing sweets imaginable.
Chunks of creamy peanut candy, shimmering pieces of pink coconut sorbet, hundreds of chocolates of all kinds, neatly arranged.
Dozens of chocolate frogs are bouncing back and forth in transparent glass jars, and there is a small sign next to it, "Chocolate Frogs in Bulk, No Cards, 5% Off." β
The huge oak barrel next to the door was piled high with Bibi flavored beans, a bucket of butter bee candy, and the sherbet drink that Ron mentioned floating in the air.
Along another wall are various candies with "special effects": Blow-Treasure Super Bubble Gum (which fills the room with bubbles the color of blue bellflower that will not burst for days);
bizarre fragmented hairy mints;
Tiny little black pepper urchin ("Spit fire out of your nose for your friend!");
Ice Mouse ("Hear your teeth chattering and creaking!");
Creamy mints shaped like toads ("It's really going to beat in the stomach!"), crunchy sugar quills, and sandwiches that explode.
"Looking for me?" Malfoy asked curiously, "What's the matter?" β
Zhang Xiao picks up a bloody lollipop that smells of pungent blood, which is said to be used to satisfy vampires.
"During this time, you should pay attention to the wind direction in the academy."
Zhang Xiao put the lollipop back, looked at Brother Tu's suddenly serious face, and said softly:
"I'm ready to stop the East-West trade!"
Malfoy was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned even paler.
"But Mr. Zhang, okay, I understand."
Lucius put down his phone, gritting his teeth and looking at his face with unconcealed worry.
Wizarding world. I'm afraid that because of this phone call, there will be a huge wave!
Fritz Dennis put down the cutlery in his hand, wiped his mouth with a snow-white napkin, and put down 8 sicos on the table, and put down an extra sico as a tip.
He picked up the top hat he had purchased a while ago and dusted off the non-existent ash from it.
I was full of pride, this was a hat I bought at the Diagon Alley Off-the-top clothing store.
Compared with Mrs. Morkin, the price of the ready-to-wear store is several times higher, and if those powerful people don't want to customize, then there is only one choice of ready-to-wear, and that is to make a fan!
Well, thanks to the trade between the East and the West, I can also afford to buy clothes that are out of the ordinary.
Fritz Dennis tucked his hat on his head, and his face was calm, with a hint of imperceptible haughty smileβan expression he had imitated the vice president of the guild and had practiced for a long time.
Just as he was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the very cute-looking waiter in the restaurant smiling sweetly at a lewd-looking guy.
Just because that lewd fat guy gave 4 Sico tips!
Damn, she's never smiled at me like that!
A strange feeling welled up in Fritz Dennis's heart, he hesitated, put away the nine silver shiny sicos that had been placed on the table, gritted his teeth, and took out a gold Galleon.
It's okay, I'm a 'master' now!
A Galleon is just an insignificant fraction of money to me
But even so, he was still a little uncomfortable, and a light meal cost a galleon, and before, he thought he must be crazy!
After placing Galleon on the table, Dennis stopped his intention to go out, although it was more in line with the demeanor of the vice president to just put down a Galleon and leave.
But what's the point of me giving a Galleon then?
"O Merlin! Sir, do you mean, a Galleon, no change? β
Sure enough, the sweet waitress let out a cry of surprise, and she covered her mouth and smiled cutely.
"Yes, you don't have to." Dennis straightened the top hats he bought at the Off-the-top clothing store again, and their logo was on the side, which was not good, and others could not see the sign of Off-ordinary.
But the waitress must have seen it, and she said enviously:
"Is your hat the one that just came out?"
"Yes, you know each other, too?" Dennis tried not to show himself smug, pretending to be nonchalant: "I look good, I've always liked their stuff."
It only cost 8 Galleons and was good value for money! β
The waiter blinked his moist eyes and said happily:
"You are a rich and benevolent gentleman, and thanks to you, I have saved up enough money to-day, and my husband loves this hat, and he has always dreamed of having a hat that is out of the ordinary.
I decided to fulfill this wish of his, and thank you for saving up enough money for Christmas. β
Husband?
Dennis's smile stiffened, and he reluctantly nodded at the waiter, pulling the brim of his hat down to cover his gloomy face.
Bah! obviously already has a husband, and he still looks like a bee and a butterfly!
Dennis cursed inwardly and walked out of the store quickly.
Diagon Alley was full of people, and this lively scene made him feel a lot better.
Looking back at this frequent shop, Dennis secretly swore that he would never come again, it was all liars!
The hat was deliberately crooked a little so that the gilded logo of the Defana could shine directly into the sun.
Dennis straightened his collar and walked towards Slug Giggs' pharmacy.
Push open the green, peeling paint of the wooden door.
On the floor of the shop were rows of barrels of goo, and against the wall were all sorts of jars of powder and herbs, with bundles of feathers, fangs, and claws hanging from the ceiling.
The whole pharmacy was very unpleasant and smelled like a mixture of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.
Dennis covered his nose and shouted at the boss:
"Those magical leaves of the East, the old way, give me 10 copies!"
Giggs, the boss in protective clothing and dragon skin gloves, shook his head with a gloomy face:
"No, there's nothing left in the East."
"None? Why? β
Dennis jumped up like a burning ass, and he shouted:
"We've agreed, I've already ordered the goods, Giggs, you can't fool me, my potion has reached the most critical time!"
Giggs suddenly slammed the table in anger, hammering the dense stuff on the counter and jumping up:
"What can I do? Damn the Ministry of Magic has banned East-West trade!
Banned! None of them will ever be!
Do you understand? β
Dennis's face suddenly turned whiter than paper.
