Chapter 102 Alchemy, Eternal God~
"Haha, old Tom, I'm Ted again!"
Ted pushed the door in with Hu Hansan's shadow, and smiled at Old Tom who was arranging the cups at the counter.
"You boy!" Old Tom knew that today was a holiday at Hogwarts, and wondered whether Ted would come back to live. Didn't expect him to come back.
"What? Are you addicted to living in a cubicle?" Old Tom joked, the creases on his face unfolding.
Ted said with a proud face: "No, this time I will open a first-class room in Tianzi, we have money! Permanent residence!"
"Yo~" Old Tom looked Ted up and down, and he learned a lot last year.
But it seems that although he has grown a little taller and has grown a lot, he doesn't look like he is rich.
Besides, even going to school can make money, what kind of character?
"Okay, for the sake of old friendship, you can get 20% off if you stay here." Old Tom took one key from a bunch of keys and threw it to Ted, "You know where it is, go by yourself."
Ted took the key, went up to the second floor, and settled the luggage in a large sunny room. He went downstairs to say hello to old Tom and went to the backyard.
Take out your wand, tap on the bricks on the wall, and Diagon Alley appears. Well, no one is as damaged as a book friend, moving trash cans and building walls.
Ted went to Gringotts first, he had to change some money.
A bald, white-haired old goblin, carefully examines the piece of gold that Ted has brought out with a magnifying glass and a scale.
He didn't quite believe that Ted could come up with such a small piece of gold. After all, Ted's attire had already told others that he was not very rich.
Goblins are creatures who are most used to watching people order dishes.
However, after careful inspection several times, it is indeed real gold, and its purity is extremely high.
In the end Ted exchanged 1 ounce (28.3 grams) of gold for 64 Galleons!
A wave of fat!
This is just the gold that Ted transformed from brass with alchemy this month, and not all of them, he still has three smaller gold nuggets in his hand!
(The previous content has been changed to 100 grams per month. I apologize. I didn’t have too much research when I wrote it before. Nearly 40 catties of gold per month is too much. I admit that I didn’t understand it. I’m sorry for the math teacher.)
Based on alchemy alone, Ted now earns at least 220 Galleons a month!
Alchemy, eternal god~
But after all, in the original book, Dumbledore paid the unemployed house elf Dobby a salary of 10 Galleons a week, and 40 Galleons a month.
In the middle and upper-level officials of the Ministry of Magic, the salary can probably reach 250 Galleons (about 12,500 soft sister coins in 1991).
Anyway, at least Ted's daily life is not a problem at all. There is even money left over for some magical research.
Ted thought about it, and exchanged another 20 galleons for 100 pounds.
The goblin who handled the business was taken aback: "Are you sure you want to exchange pounds?"
You know, the pound is exchanged for Galleons, and goblins often do it. After all, many young wizards from mixed-race or Muggle families have to exchange.
However, there are not many Galleons exchanged for British pounds, even once a year!
"Yes, £100, thanks. I'm in a hurry."
Old Fairy: I've never heard such a request! You testify to me, he asked me to change it!
Gold is exchanged for Galleons, and Galleons are exchanged for British Pounds. There are two harvests here and there!
…
After leaving Gringotts, Ted came to Mr. Giggs's pharmacy.
He still plans to work in Diagon Alley during the holidays.
Before the Christmas holiday last year, Ted and his first-year students signed a contract with the Ministry of Magic. It was a contract of magic. After the signing, the wand was "tracked" and could sense someone nearby using magic.
This is a means of restricting the use of magic by Muggle family wizards in the Muggle world. A means of preventing exposure in the wizarding world.
Now Ted wants to use magic freely during the holiday, so he can only stay in Diagon Alley. There are wizards everywhere, and the Ministry of Magic can't determine who is using magic, so it's not illegal.
Although Ted has to stay in Diagon Alley, he no longer needs to work several part-time jobs.
This time I only work in Mr. Glass's pharmacy, and I have to study and study magic by myself during the rest of the time.
"Hi~Mr. Giggs, long time no see." Ted pushed the door and entered, and saw that Mr. Giggs was dealing with a lot of different medicinal materials in a hurry.
June to August is the peak season for the production of various medicinal materials. Various pharmacies and potion workshops will purchase a large number of medicinal materials, and then process and process them for sales reserves in the next year, or for their own use.
After this period of time, many medicinal materials cannot be picked and used until next year. Therefore, there are a lot of stocks, and the types are very complicated.
When Ted worked part-time last year, he had to learn seven or eight new medicinal materials every day. After going back, I have to memorize the properties, effects, contraindications, treatment methods and other information of the medicine.
Mr. Giggs didn't expect Ted to be of great help at first, but he didn't expect him to be a "little genius"!
To be honest, if it weren't for the "Memory Palace" and [Restore Energy (Green)] cards, Ted would never have survived that period of time.
Mr. Giggs looked up and saw that it was Ted who entered the door, and he smiled immediately: "Oh, boy, are you on vacation? I hope your school career is wonderful enough. By the way, I remember you said in your letter that you were assigned to Ravenc Law? That's good, we Ravenclaws are the smartest!"
Yes, Mr. Giggs is also a graduate of Ravenclaw.
Ted walked over directly, rolled up his sleeves deftly, put on dragon leather gloves, and began to classify herbs and perform simple subcontracting—after that, several steps were required.
Ted adjusted the balance to ensure that the weight of each medicinal material was the same, then wrapped it in oiled paper and put it aside.
"The school year was a dream for me, except for Professor Snape, everything else was perfect." He joked with a playful smile.
"Oh, Snape! Yes, my God~" Mr. Giggs shrugged, "That guy always looks gloomy, I can't even imagine what he looks like as a professor!"
Mr. Giggs is a few years younger than James Potter, Sirius, and Snape, and he has witnessed the struggle between these school figures.
"However, I have to say that his level of potions is beyond doubt. I even think that in some respects, he is very likely to surpass Professor Slughorn—oh, our potions professor, the previous one Head Slytherin," Mr. Giggs explained.
If Ted was just a kid who was about to step into the magic world when he was working last year, he is now an alumnus of Mr. Giggs. And it's from a college!
The relationship is even more different, and there are more topics.
Ted complained to him about the oldness of the potions textbooks, the potions taught were of little practical value, and learning was not systematic.
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 also have to learn this set of textbooks.
"It's not that I said, "Magic Potions and Potions" by Arseny Giger is indeed a good book, but this book was originally published decades ago! Not to mention anything else, just two stars There is no record of the new medicinal materials that appear after the intersection!"
Mr. Giggs was fiddling with a bunch of fresh Ningshen flowers in his hand, "It's a pity that no one in the magic world has written a new one. It's too difficult. Just like this Ningshen flower, which has been discovered for 12 years, it has been published one after another. Six important roles were found."
“Anyone who writes a book in the middle and finds that what he wrote is outdated and unable to keep up with changes will collapse.”
This situation is equivalent to a graduate student studying astronomy who has been studying a star for several years, but halfway through writing the thesis, the star exploded! It collapsed on the spot!
The herbal medicine has been processed for nearly two hours, and the preliminary subcontracting was only completed at noon. The next step is preliminary processing and packaging. Then there may be new medicinal materials delivered in a few days.
Mr. Giggs looked at the time: "Don't leave at noon, let's have a meal together, please."
He looked at Ted: "It seems that you don't want to stay in the Muggle world during the holidays? Why don't you continue to help me? You know how busy I am now, sometimes I don't have time for dinner, and many common potions are sold out. It’s too late to cook.”
Ted is naturally willing, and he also wants to take advantage of the vacation to learn more about herbs and potions with Mr. Giggs.
Although Mr. Giggs is definitely not as good as Snape, Mr. Giggs is willing to teach!
After lunch, and busy for a while in the afternoon, Ted left.
He first went back to the orphanage, met the nanny, and after a long chat, he left 100 pounds.
"Grandma, I have a good life in school, and I still have the opportunity to work and study. This is some money I have saved, and I hope it can help the orphanage."
Naturally, Mammy didn't want to ask for it, "You already sent a lot of money by post for Christmas, and you are still young, so you still have a lot of money to spend!"
Ted smiled, "Mama, you forgot, I can sing! I don't plan to stay this holiday, I will continue to work and sing. You can accept it..."
