Chapter 1625 A War Without Winners (Part 75)
"Oh, you guys are planning to join in the fun too!"
Looking at the girls packing up to go out, George, who was delivering a batch of materials, reminded them after completing the warehouse registration.
"If I were you, I wouldn't go join in the fun at this time."
"Any questions?" Angelina asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Today, the witch beauty shop opened with a big discount, and a group of crazy women almost squeezed the shop to pieces." George said sourly.
"Are there really that many people?"
"A lot, so many that people envy." George turned his head to look at his sister and reminded her, "You are not suitable to squeeze in with others. If you really can't, go find Lee Jordan. It's his turn to look after the shop today. You can go to the black magic protection shop next door to rest first."
The girls looked at each other and finally decided to go and see for themselves.
They didn't expect the situation to be more exaggerated than George said. The witch beauty shop was indeed very popular with the girls.
Even though the store was already full of customers, there were still many girls holding flyers outside the store who continued to line up. It was simply incomprehensible what was in their heads.
Shanna suddenly bent down and picked up a flyer from her feet. After looking at the content on it, her face twitched slightly, and she handed the thing to Qiu Zhang who was looking at her curiously.
The girls came over one after another and soon found out the reason.
The witch beauty shop was extremely generous on the opening day. Not only could you try the products for free, but you could also enjoy large-scale commodity discounts and promotions, and even get advice from professionals. No wonder that group of beauty-loving women came to join in the fun.
"Or, let's come back later."
Looking at the crowded crowd at the door of the witch beauty shop, Ginny suggested.
She was not suitable to squeeze with everyone, but it was a rare trip, and no one was willing to give up, because they all knew that this witch beauty shop was related to Albert, and the products sold in the shop were indeed effective.
In fact, the girls had considered asking Albert for help directly, but it would be fine if they did it once or twice. They couldn't always bother Albert.
After a brief discussion, the girls decided to do their own things first, and then go shopping together when the number of customers in the witch beauty shop decreased. Anyway, they stayed next door and could always get the first-hand information.
However, things were still beyond everyone's expectations. After the girls finished their own things and played wizard cards for a long time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Shop, the witch beauty shop next door was still crowded.
"They are planning to hold the first wizard card competition recently."
Shanna fiddled with the wizard cards in her hand and shared the latest news with everyone.
"The prize pool is a total of 100 Galleons. Do you plan to participate in the competition?"
Many girls here can play wizard cards, and they are all good at it.
"Albert is still as generous as ever."
The girls can guess that this must be Albert's intention, and only he is willing to pay for this competition.
"He probably wants to use this to promote wizard cards. He's not short of money anyway, so nothing he does will surprise people."
Hermione put down the books she had just bought and talked about her opinion on this matter. She also thought she knew Albert better.
"Yes, that guy just thinks he has too many Galleons in his pocket."
Lee Jordan, who was finally free, stood at the door, looking at the neighbors next door and chatting with the girls.
"Wizard cards are basically not profitable."
"Then Albert also..."
"He said that as long as it can bring benefits to everyone, wizard cards will continue to be widely circulated in the magic world." The four of them spent a lot of effort on wizard cards, so no one thought Albert was wrong.
"When do you plan to hold the first Wizard Card Tournament?"
"I've been too busy lately and can't spare the energy to plan it for now. We expect to hold the first one this year." Lee Jordan drank the milk tea prepared by the house elf and gave his own guess, "The Leaky Cauldron, the Three Broomsticks of Hogsmeade, or our village will definitely be very lively at that time. I believe many young people will not be able to refuse such a generous prize."
"It really sounds like what he would say." Hermione agreed with Albert's words.
No matter what the wizard cards are like, as long as someone is willing to give Galleons, there will definitely be people playing, and there are still many. Albert's holding of the competition is just to speed up the spread of wizard cards in the British wizarding world.
"He also said that if wizard cards are popular, this store will be changed into a wizard card store." Lee Jordan said with a smile,
"Defense Against the Dark Arts Store is no longer needed?"
Everyone was particularly surprised. They all knew how profitable the Defense Against the Dark Arts Store was.
"There is no need to keep a shop now. Most of the goods will be sold to the Ministry of Magic. We only need to keep a counter next door for it."
They all knew that now that the Second War was over, everyone no longer needed defense against the dark arts.
It was good enough for Albert to hold on to the last piece of cake.
Time passed in the idle chat, and the flow of people in the shop next door also decreased.
It was almost dusk outside, and the customers of the witch beauty shop became scarce, which made the girls feel relieved.
"Mrs. Primpinel, why are you..."
Looking at the middle-aged witch at the counter, the girls who had just come here in a group were particularly surprised. They didn't expect to meet the owner of "Mrs. Primpinel's Beauty and Magic Potion Shop" here, and the other party seemed to have become a clerk in the witch beauty shop?
This is really...
"I work for the witch beauty shop now."
Mrs. Primpinel's reaction was very flat, as if she had told others countless times.
"What about your shop?"
"Of course, I closed the beauty and magic potion shop before it could not be opened." Mrs. Primpinel was even more open about this.
"Do you want to register?" She looked around and asked.
"Register?"
"If you need help, you need to queue up and make an appointment first." Mrs. Primpennel explained to the girls present, "Today is a good opportunity. The owners of witch beauty salons from all over the world have come to participate in this opening ceremony. They are willing to take time out to help you solve the skin problems that have been bothering you for a long time."
"Of course, most people register to make themselves more beautiful." Mrs. Primpennel winked at Hermione and her group and kindly reminded them, "The owners of witch beauty salons are all beauties and experts in beauty. Once you meet them, you will understand that listening to their professional advice will not do any harm to you who want to become more beautiful."
