Chapter 4143 Chapter 4145 [Anti-curse equipment]
Although developing a laxative was hard to say, Lily, Barty Jr. and Professor Slughorn didn't mind.
On the one hand, it is a great honor for them to be able to cure diseases and save people. Just the thank-you letters they received made them very happy.
On the one hand, the sales of Laxative are very hot. The hundred bottles that were just launched were sold out immediately. St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic even wanted to place a long-term order.
A conservative estimate would be a profit of one hundred gold galleons a month. The four of them split it equally, each having twenty-five gold galleons. Besides, this is just the British wizarding world. When laxatives are sold to the global wizarding community in the future, they will make even more money.
Being famous and making money, no one will be unhappy.
…
Little Barty was very happy. After he joined the team, he successively launched a series of practical potions, which not only demonstrated his talent in potions, but also earned him a good reputation.
His mother sent owls to send letters, telling him that she was very happy that he could achieve results, and also specifically mentioned that his father, Barty Sr., was also very satisfied with the results he had achieved.
This made little Barty even happier.
"Severus, this is the first time my dad has recognized my performance." He said to Xiang Nan excitedly.
"There are no parents in the world who don't love their children." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Just like me, I always thought that my dad didn't love me, but in fact he did love me, but he was embarrassed to say it."
"Oh?" Little Barty was curious, "Is it true?"
Xiang Nan nodded, and then told Barty Jr. about Tobias Snape.
Hearing that Tobia had been drinking all day long and scolded Xiang Nan and his son after getting drunk, little Barty couldn't help but be stunned.
His father is strict, but he will not engage in domestic violence. Although he is not affectionate enough to him and is often strict with him, he will not abuse or rebuke loudly.
So seeing that Tobias was even more outrageous than his father made him sympathize with Xiang Nan.
Later, when he heard that Tobia gave Xiang Nanlin twenty pounds before going to school, little Barty was moved for a moment.
He never thought that such an irresponsible and violent father could have such a touching side.
"I still keep these twenty pounds, and I will never spend them in my lifetime." Xiang Nan took out the crumpled twenty pounds from his pocket and said, "It represents my father's love for me."
"Severus, I really envy you. If only my father treated me the same way." Little Barty couldn't help but sigh.
"Actually, the feelings between people are mutual." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile, "You think your father treats you badly, then let me ask you, what do you think of him?
Have you expressed your love to him, have you told him "I love you", have you prepared a gift for him, do you know what he really thinks? "
Little Barty was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
He has never done any of this. Perhaps it's because old Batty is too strict. He has been scared and timid when seeing him since he was a child, so he usually doesn't even dare to say much, let alone giving gifts to his father.
"So, if you want to break this situation, I suggest you take the first step." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "First give your father a gift."
"Send a gift? What gift?" Little Barty asked in confusion.
"I know there is a perfume that is very suitable for middle-aged men." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You happen to have made money, so why not buy a bottle for him? Just say that you bought it with the first money you earned. ”
"Perfume?! My dad definitely won't wear it. He never wears any perfume." Little Barty waved his hand.
How could his father, such an old-fashioned man, wear perfume? He couldn't believe it.
"He may not have wiped it before, but I'm sure that as long as it's from you, he will definitely wipe it." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"If you don't believe it, just try it." Xiang Nan smiled. Little Barty nodded, and then bought a gift for each of his parents in Hogsmeade Village.
What I gave to my mother was a long purple dress bought from Fengya Clothing Store. It was graceful, elegant and dignified and cost a full fifty galleons.
Xiang Nan recommended a men's perfume to Lao Badi. It is mainly composed of musk, sandalwood, etc., and is suitable for men with subtle and restrained personalities.
Little Barty sent the gift home by owl and received a reply soon.
His mother was very happy to receive the gift and praised her son for his good taste and the clothes she bought were very beautiful.
This also made little Barty very happy.
His mother has always loved him, and he loves his mother very much. Making her happy now is the happiest thing for him.
However, Barty Crouch Sr.'s reply disappointed him, because not only did Barty Sr. not thank him for the gift, but he also scolded him for spending money on such expensive things.
This made little Barty almost cry.
With the encouragement of Xiang Nan, he finally took the first step bravely, but unexpectedly he was hit hard by his father, which really made him sad.
"Don't be sad, wait until Christmas." Xiang Nan advised him.
…
In addition to developing magic potions, Xiang Nan also worked with Lily, Lupine, and Barty Jr. to develop anti-curse equipment.
Just like what George and Fred said in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", there are very few people in the entire Ministry of Magic who can cast the complete Iron Armor Spell.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic ordered 500 anti-curse hats at once, which made the two brothers very rich.
And now it is during the First Wizarding War, Voldemort and others are raging, and the people are in urgent need of life-saving equipment.
Although this kind of anti-curse hat has limited defense and can only prevent some minor magics and evil curses, it is already very impressive.
The main reason why I roped in Lu Ping was to solve his financial problems.
As a werewolf, Lupine has been living in embarrassment since graduation.
Because werewolves are marginalized in the wizarding world, wizards will not hire werewolves, so they rarely find jobs and generally live in poverty.
When Lupine first appeared on the scene, he showed embarrassment. "A very shabby wizard robe with patches in many places. He looked very young, but his light brown hair was already mixed with white hair." All because of this. No money to make trouble.
And because of this, when Nymphadora Tonks fell in love with him, he didn't dare to accept her love because he was afraid of hurting her.
So Xiang Nan now ropes him in to develop anti-curse equipment together.
This business will definitely make a fortune. When the time comes, Lu Ping will be able to make money by relying on patents, and he won't have to be so embarrassed or down and out.
Lu Ping once refused Xiang Nan's invitation.
"It's not appropriate for me to join, it will hurt you." He was embarrassed.
He knew that he was a werewolf and would turn into a werewolf every month, so he inevitably felt inferior and was afraid of being discovered and rejected by others.
"On the contrary, I know that you are very good at defense against black magic, and the anti-spell equipment I want to develop is to resist black magic." Xiang Nan smiled, "So it's just right for you to join."
"But..." Lu Ping still hesitated.
"Give yourself some confidence. If you don't have the strength, I won't invite you at all." Xiang Nan smiled, "This is not charity, nor is it pity. I really need your talents."
Lupine then nodded.
