Chapter 234 My Pokémon
The Leaky Cauldron, here comes Hermione.
Ted was taken aback when he saw Hermione, "Hermione, what are you?"
Hermione touched her face and smiled shyly: "We're going on a trip..."
It turned out that Hermione and her family traveled to France to enjoy the beach in midsummer.
Dude, very tanned!
At this time, Neville also got out from the fireplace, even with a piece of ashes on his nose.
"Neville, Hermione, you are here! Come with me~"
Ted pulled the two of them to the basement, where the little milk dog was rolling slimes all over the floor as if they were balls.
Push it out with the nose, then quickly run to the front to catch it, and then push it back.
Slip yourself, just say how smart you are!
Slime's little mung bean eyes are about to turn into mosquito coils!
And the little milk cat is clumsily chasing the little mouse...
Add Jige, Ansu, and cabbage that occasionally comes out to breathe, and it's a piece of chicken and dog jumping.
Ted explained: "I use them several times a day for cleans and quick restores. You guys take them away!"
The little milk dog is black and white, with medium and long hair, ears have been erected, very lively, and eyes are agile.
This little thing is so smart, it can even read people's faces, and it will please Mr. Ansu. Not as stupid as that little milk cat.
Neville fell in love with it immediately, and stood there giggling.
The little milk cat is different, it actually stands on two legs, and its front paws have signs of five fingers instead of cat claws, so it is very flexible and can grasp things.
There is also a golden bump on the forehead like a golden Galleon.
Ted's original idea was to create a new creature like Elle or Pokémon Meow.
For this reason, he even added two ocelot beards and a golden Galleon to the casting materials~
How should I put it, it seems to be a success.
At least in appearance, kittens look more like magical animals than puppies.
Also, it is very greedy for money and likes shiny things.
Ted put a Galleon into a bottle, it can hold and chew all day! Can't wait to get into the bottle.
"This puppy is for Neville, and you need to name it." Ted said.
"And as you can see, he hasn't been weaned yet, so you need to take Katie back with him. The puppy still needs to nurse for at least two weeks."
Katy is the mother of the puppy, the swallowtail.
Anyway, the Longbottom family's manor is big enough, just right for dogs.
Otherwise, Ted really has no place to put it, and I'm afraid he has to give it to Hagrid.
Ted looked at Hermione again: "You don't have to worry about getting another female cat. Because the kitten's mother doesn't like it... You can also see that it looks different."
The mother of the cat, Lizi, was very concerned about the strange appearance of the kitten, so after a week of breastfeeding, she refused to breastfeed any more.
Ted gave it to Mr Giggs.
As for the kitten, Parker raised it for about a week.
It uses spiritual energy to heat the goat milk in the bottle to feed the kitten until it is weaned.
Hearing Ted say that the kitten's mother didn't like it, Hermione felt compassion.
But she didn't let Ted go: "So, what are you doing? Ted!"
Hermione is so smart, she naturally found clues from the different looks of the kittens.
Ted whispered: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell you. We will talk slowly in the future..."
I also learned a new ability, I have a chance to show it to you~
…
"Hey, this is an insect repellent, which can effectively drive away hairy crabs. It will prevent them from parasitic in the hair..."
Ted handed two bottles of potion to the two.
Ted also noticed this thing after raising cats and dogs.
Hairy crabs are tiny parasites.
It resembled a crab in appearance, with tusks, and was only one-twentieth of an inch long.
They are magically attracted and can often be found in the fur of swallow-tailed dogs and the feathers of occult birds.
They spoil magic items like wands and cauldrons, eating away at the core of a wand, or feasting on potions left on a crucible. In the absence of magic, hairy crabs go out and destroy Muggle electrical appliances from the inside out.
This is why Muggle electrical appliances suddenly malfunction - doubtful here!
Special agents sold on the market can easily deal with the problem of hairy crab infestation, but when the disaster is severe, the staff of the Pest Advisory Office of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control are still required to deal with it.
Hairy crabs that swell from eating magical substances are hard to deal with.
Ted tried feeding a hairy crab, which grew from one millimeter to the size of a fist!
Finally fed to slime~
Slime is good at this, not picky eaters.
…
And Hermione will go by car.
Ted explained his experiment while sending her off.
After all, she was in the Room of Response in school before, and she had already seen how she transformed Chicken Brother.
She also knew about the birth of the little elf mouse.
However, Hermione was still very worried, and carefully persuaded Ted to pay attention to propriety and take Professor Quirrell as a warning.
Ted naturally agreed.
Quirrell: I am wronged! He is worse than me!
When she was about to get into the car, Tedsay gave her a small box of strange snow-white paste.
"What's this?" Hermione asked.
"This is pearl cream!" Ted said proudly.
This thing is still an accidental product.
While delivering medicine to Lupine, Ted met one of Lupine's clients—the owner of a pearl farming farm, who was investigating his wife's cheating.
Ted bought a lot of cultured pearls this way.
Pearl is also a very good spell-casting material.
Although it is said that only that kind of magical animal mussels can produce magic pearls, ordinary pearls still have many uses, and the amount of use is not small.
While wizards have a stereotyped understanding and isolation of Muggles, they don't seem to know that pearls can be cultivated artificially.
So Ted became a wave of second-hand dealers.
In addition, he also developed a new beauty potion—pearl cream through a large amount of defective pearl powder.
This thing can whiten, remove scars, and shrink pores.
Several women who tried it said yes.
Under normal circumstances, the skin metabolism cycle is 28 days, so a significant effect can be seen in one month.
After using it for a month, even Ron's face looks fair and supple!
As for why Ron can still use it even though he didn’t send it to Ron, it’s because he stole Ginny’s use!
As a result, the pearl ointment was consumed too quickly, and Ron's skin had changed too much, so he couldn't hide it anymore.
Now Professor McGonagall, Aunt Molly, Mrs. Olivia, Peggy, Ginny... a lot of ladies Ted knows use this thing.
The reason why it was not sent to Hermione was mainly because her skin was already very good, very fair, and had no freckles.
A real young and beautiful girl.
Now that I am so tanned, it just comes in handy.
"This product will be on the shelves of beauty salons next week. It's not cheap. The shareholders this time include the Longbottom family, the Black family, Mr. Giggs, and even Fort Hammer and Deckard. shares..."
Ted is now compiling his own network of contacts, using interests as a link to twist everyone into one rope.
…
In late August, Ted went to Xianyuwang to search for information, mainly to see if there was any news about the materials he had hatched.
Still no news, there are still four materials missing, and they have not been found.
This kind of thing can only be done by touch, there is no other way.
In the House of Salted Fish, many wizards were chatting and drinking.
In the past two days, wizards have been discussing heatedly because of a notice from the Ministry of Magic—"Guidelines on Excessive Prices of Dragon Products".
How should I put it, most of the fire dragons are farmed now.
From dragon leather gloves to dragon blood, from dragon scales to dragon teeth...it can be said that the whole body of the fire dragon is a treasure, almost fully developed by the wizards.
Even dragon dung is a good magic plant fertilizer!
Fire dragons have a wide range of uses in the magic world, and they are indispensable for a large and stable supply of mid-to-high-end materials.
However, just three weeks ago, the price of dragon products rose rapidly.
Up to now, on average, a dragon has increased by four to five times!
And the upward trend is good, and there is no sign of stopping.
Many wizarding workshops have been affected. Now the price increase of products cannot keep up with the speed of raw materials, and the business is getting more and more loss-making.
Because there was a lot of commotion, the Ministry of Magic had to come out to speak, which was the "Guidelines on Excessive Prices of Dragon Products" a few days ago.
However, the Ministry of Magic directed a lonely person, saying that the fart is useless, and even the price is still rising.
The price of dragon products and the policies of the Ministry of Magic have been hot topics of discussion in Salted Fish House these days, and it can be said that there are many complaints.
Someone said: "It is a market rule to say that price increases, and price reductions are illegal, what the **** reason!"
"Isn't the Ministry of Magic bullying honest wizards?"
"An honest wizard deserves to be raised in price and cut leeks?!"
"Hey, don't say it. I heard that the Ministry of Magic has invited experts who have studied finance in the Muggle world. Although they apologize, they are determined not to lower the price of dragon products."
I don't know who asked Ted: "What do you think is the source of the increasingly violent contradictions in the magic world?"
Ted rolled his eyes: "Isn't it the conflict between everyone's growing IQ and officials' declining morality? The biggest beneficiary of dragon products is not their Ministry of Magic?"
"Exactly! The fire dragon farms are all the property of the Ministry of Magic of various countries! This is really a referee and an athlete!" Everyone shared the same hatred.
"But what can we do?"
I don’t know who came to say: "The Ministry of Magic released all means except price reduction, and I provided all support except purchase. Consumption, I can die without dragon products?"
