Chapter 198 Salted Fish Net Upgrade!
Many students and parents on the platform were watching the group of six.
This made Ron and Jerry very happy, as Neville was not very used to this situation.
Of course, he has been watched like this since he was a child, but now the eyes of the crowd have changed, becoming more friendly and cordial.
It made him feel better.
In the past, those eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion, and even excitement would double Neville's pressure, but now, he can bear it a bit, and his own strength and contribution have given him some confidence.
And the little wizards also whispered to the parents about Ted's performance in school, for example, his grades are always the first, and he is a college bully!
And he is very good at tidying up. If there is no Ted's tidying up for every festival, it will be as if this festival is in vain.
And the singing is super nice, many songs I have never heard before!
Anyway, now Ted is someone else's kid.
If this was put in the past, if any family had such a child, it meant that the family was about to rise again.
Now, many parents have told their children to spend more time with these six people...
…
Compared to last year's confusion and temptation, Ted has his own plan for this year's summer vacation.
Life is short, might as well be unrestrained!
Before the holiday, he had already arranged a lot of things.
For example, the opening of Xianyuwang—some adjustments have been made this time.
"Mr. Giggs, how much is the other party asking for?" Ted asked.
"840 Galleons, the asking price is a bit high. After all, his shop is too small."
"It doesn't matter if it's small, 840 Jinlong is slightly higher, do you think we can still talk about it?"
"Do you really want to buy it? Do you have enough money?"
"about there."
"Selling shampoo to make money?! Well, I can help you talk about it, but the area is too small to do anything, right?"
Mr. Giggs is right to worry. Although it is a store facing the street in Diagon Alley, the area is too small to do much.
Ted also thought about this question, and asked: "Do you think, can I try to apply for the traceless extension spell?"
Mr. Giggs thought for a while and shook his head: "It's not easy, unless you have acquaintances in the Ministry of Magic. And even if the application is successful, it will cost a lot of money just to find someone to cast the spell. With such a small space, and How much can it be expanded? A wizard who is proficient in the space extension spell is very expensive!"
"Help me bargain, I'll give it a try..."
Ted quickly contacted Mr. Arthur Weasley.
"Mr. Arthur, I want to apply to the Ministry of Magic for permission to use the Untraceable Extending Curse, and I want to consult you about the process."
"Ah! This is simple. My friend old Jimmy is in the Department of Abuse of Magic Control. It's easy to handle. By the way, you want to make a space suitcase for easy use?"
"Ah, I want to buy a small shop to expand the space."
"Ah, I bought a store, what to buy... What?" When Mr. Arthur learned that Ted was going to be the boss, he felt bad.
Arthur: I am not a good father, I am not a good husband, I am not competent!
Of course, this kind of emotion lasted for more than ten seconds. The two of them are the type of people who want to blow money away from eggshells. They spend all their money without saving it!
Of course, they also cultivated good sons like Ron and the twins who were determined to make money at a young age~
Ron: A copper Nat stumped the wizard Merlin!
…
Because of the population and business prosperity of the magic world, it is not supported to carry out salted fish identification and online auction every day.
So Ted decided to change things up. First of all, you must have your own shop.
He has put up the sign now, and conducts centralized appraisal and auction every Saturday morning. I usually hang on the Internet for information exchange and small forum exchanges.
Ted bought a small shop not far from Mr. Giggs's pharmacy, really not big. But it took a lot of money. Fortunately, Ted now has a wide range of sources of funds.
From selling gold, to the share of the acne, to the share of the smoothing shampoo, it is reasonable to barely spend 800 Galleons.
If this is placed in the world of ordinary people, at most you can set up a stall to buy duck (rat) goods, fried skewers, grilled chicken skeletons, grilled cold noodles and so on.
But this is the wizarding world!
Ted passed the mediation of Mr. Weasley and obtained the permission of the Ministry of Magic to use the traceless extension spell to expand the store space.
I didn’t hire anyone to cast spells, I did it all by myself, and it took three days to transform it into a big shop with only a two-meter frontage and more than 500 square meters of space inside!
The right not to invalidate the expiration date, who gave Ted this ability!
Ordinary wizards really can't do it. Even if they obtained the permission, they still had to invite a special wizard to cast the spell.
Even if they have learned this spell, they can at most expand the space of their wallets and suitcases several times, and they can't do it any more.
But Ted's current level is equivalent to that of some elite wizards, and he spent some experience to upgrade the magic spell, which is very difficult to exercise, to level 3. Then, using methods such as awakening, magic potion, etc., it took three days to create a flagship store!
The right is not expired, as a visitor from China who is obsessed with the house, Ted will not expand to death if he has this opportunity!
He even intends to directly consume two thousand experience, directly raise the traceless extension spell to level 5, and directly expand a three-story villa in the shop.
Finally managed to convince myself to keep a low profile...
Now, every Saturday, wizards who have free time gather in large numbers in Diagon Alley just like going to a market.
Then they poured directly into Ted's "Salted Fish House", and first bought their favorite new snacks—made by house elves who were free from school holidays. Ted paid them wages, which was equivalent to part-time jobs.
You must know that elves did not have any assets of their own before, purely proletarian~
Now, they can also use their wages to buy something they want.
Although their hobbies are very strange, they always buy some bed sheets, pillowcases, curtains and the like. Or those spices and ingredients on the market. But personal preference, as long as it does not violate public order and good customs, we will not interfere with this.
The waiters are Dobby the house elf, and Jerry.
Dobby has been set free by Lucius.
He is considered an outlier among house elves, very few who are willing or even eager to leave their original family.
Now, Ted hired him, 6 Galleons a week, 25 Galleons a week.
In the original book, Dumbledore gave him 10 Galleons for a week. He was rich and powerful, and Ted would definitely not be able to do it.
The Salted Fish House has a well-dressed house elf as a waiter, which is quite a face. Many wizards are taken aback when they see it for the first time.
And those wizards who came to have fun didn't eat breakfast, but directly bought all kinds of food in the store, and then sat at small round tables, discussing the products on sale while eating and drinking, or those Information that is selected and posted on the bulletin board.
The information can be described as varied:
Have friends in the same city~
"Gentlemen of Great Britain, I sincerely want to make friends. If you are interested, please go to the Big Bird Bar, address..."
Leave a message below: "I am me! I am from South Africa!"
"No black ones!"
"Zhuo~"
There is a magic spell to ask for advice~
"Excuse me, what should I do if I use the expansion spell in the wrong place? It's been two days and I can't fit into my pants. I'm in a hurry, wait online! I asked for my friend! Really!"
"It is recommended to seek medical attention immediately, otherwise there will be sequelae. Don't ask me how I know, I have to go to Big Bird."
"Bai Xian Essence plus borneol and mint, after chilling, add Mortra mouse antennae juice, and apply it evenly up and down, which can relieve the symptoms to a certain extent. Don't ask me how I know, I have to go to work in St. Mungo."
There are flying broom lovers requesting to join the organization~
"Gossip, gossip! It is said that the Firebolt designed by Randolph Badmore is about to be mass-produced!"
"You're out of date, I heard the Irish International Quidditch team ordered seven! Accelerates to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, and the brakes are amazing!"
"Tell me the price, let me give up!"
"Conservatively estimated to be more than 500 Galleons."
"Sure enough, poor wizards like me can't afford it. I'd better play modification. Buy a magic ash tree core!"
"Then you have to be careful not to be caught by the Ministry of Magic."
