Chapter 810 Graduates Reunion

"Your store is so big, there are not many clerks?"

"Yes, we are not like other stores, where the product profile is written next to it. Customers who are interested in purchasing will read it themselves. We will not make sales introductions."

“This is very good…”

Loren nodded, expressing his agreement with Longbottom's business theory: "When Hermione and I were shopping, they wanted to stay two of them, but there were always clerks coming over to promote the sales."

Hearing this, Ginny quietly glanced at Hermione, and saw her looking at the store left and right, with no turbulence on her face, and she couldn't help but show her envious gaze.

Hermione was very calm: "Many stores in Diagon Alley are for students, but I think your stores seem to be different. There are basically no teaching supplies on the shelves."

“This is only temporary.”

Neville shook his head and introduced: "Our family has also discussed this matter. There are owl supplies stores, stationery stores, and clothing stores nearby. Each store is an old store that has been focusing on one field for many years. Our store cannot sell the same one. Things. I plan to sell some small toys and small items, small toys that are different from Weasley's Playhouse, imported from other countries, but cheap and affordable. "

“It sounds like a Muggle gift shop, no wonder it’s called a boutique.”

"That's right."

Neville nodded and replied.

Simo nodded slowly, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful expression.

He can also refer to this idea when learning Muggle's business model to open a store.

He is best at taking the essence and improving it appropriately.

"By the way, the opening ceremony was held today. Are there any activities arranged?" Hermione asked.

"Not yet. Please come here and take a look, help me see if you have any opinions or suggestions for improvement, and then go to the second floor of the Bouke Bar for a meal, which is considered a dinner party." Neville explained with a smile, "It's mainly because I want to think after graduation." Let’s get together with everyone, the opening ceremony is just to attend.”

Seamo and Dean were shocked when they heard this: "Gryffindor is on, and Neville Longbottom is really mature after graduation."

"Now is an adult wizard."

"At the age of 17, it's considered an adult wizard."

"I still like the shy Neville."

"hey-hey……"

Neville showed a familiar shy smile: "I also want to help my parents greet a few customers, wizards who run shops and imported goods. You can just take a look first, just explain what you want to play to the counter. If you think the store is If you are bored inside, go to the corner alley outside to have fun. We meet at the Broken Cauldron Bar at lunch time."

I explained the situation to several people and then walked towards the shop.

Everyone looked at his steady back and slowly withdrew their gaze, all of whom were feeling a little emotional.

"Nevil has really grown up."

"Aren't you?"

"Yes, yes," Semo nodded, "You are the youngest legendary wizard, you are the official staff member of the Ministry of Magic, you are the preparation Auror of the trainer, and you are about to become the assistant coach of the Charlie Artillery Team. ”

"You said that, it seems that's true."

"It's even more magical than magic. I still remember what you looked like in the first grade. When you went to herbal class, you deliberately splashed mud and water on others. Who knew that you would be like this after graduation..."

“…”

The group of people chattered and laughed, as if they were back in the Gryffindor lounge and scattered around.

...

At twelve o'clock noon, the dinner began.

It is clearly celebrating the opening of Longbotton's store, but the dining address is on the second floor of the Broken Cauldron Bar, so it is hard not to make people think about it.

The owner of the broken cauldron bar was changed, and it was no longer the dirty appearance of the past. Although the tables, chairs, benches and furnishings had not changed much, the aged stains and oil stains on it were removed, and the largest room on the second floor was changed into a restaurant. There are many tableware placed inside, wooden, ceramic, and metal...

It seems to be left behind by previous bosses of the Broken Cauldron Bar. I don’t know which corner to find it when I thoroughly cleaned it.

Some tableware is more expensive than those in Black's old house. If sold, it is probably possible to open another broken pot bar. Some tableware is even more broken than the stone trough of the Burrow's chicken feeding. If thrown on the street, it will only be collected as garbage. .

The Aibo family has certain beliefs to be able to run a bar with peace of mind by keeping these things.

At this time, there was a long table in the middle of the room, filled with meals produced by the broken cauldron bar. The ingredients can only be considered fresh and the cooking method is relatively rough. The most typical one is that the fries are big and thick, which is called fried potato cubes. More suitable, other dishes are similar to French fries.

Harry once lived here for a while, so he felt very friendly.

But it must be admitted that the taste is still very good.

The chefs of the broken cauldron bar face basically drinkers. Some of them are old and have a slow taste, so the seasoning is more prominent, but they cannot be too strong, which will drive away normal guests. This experience in controlling dishes. A unique style is formed.

Loren avoided those potatoes and tasted lunch on the table.

Neville and Hannah sat in the main seat, greeting the guests with a slightly restrained smile, shy but brilliant smile.

They are all former classmates. They just graduated and don’t know what politeness is, nor what kind of relationships are. Everyone is happy and talks about interesting things after graduation.

"It's a pity that you don't become an Auror, there are many records left by your parents in the training ground."

"Is that so? Hehe..."

"But I've broken your dad's record and now it's changed to my name."

“…”

Neville was speechless, but she couldn't help laughing. She waved her hand and turned to talk to Ron about taking off the broom.

Loren was listening to it with a deep laugh, quietly lowered his voice, and said to Hermione next to him: "Nevil's personality has changed a little, but Harry has not changed at all. I don't know if there is any instructor like Professor Snape in the Auror office. It sounds interesting."

Hermione squinted him silently, without answering.

At the warmest moment of the dining table, Neville's grandmother, Mrs. Augusta Longbottom, suddenly knocked in and glanced in, and looked around. When she saw Loren, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she looked at Neville and lowered her voice. Call: "Nevil, Nevil..."

Neville was a little helpless, but he still walked out.

Then there was a slight quarrel outside.

It is not serious, and the specific words and sentences are not clear, and it disappears quickly.

“…”

Neville quickly returned to the room, turned around and closed the door, not mentioning what had happened to anyone, as if nothing had happened, but his smile was a little lighter than before, but he soon recovered under the quarrel of Semo.

The students sitting around the dining table continued to raise their glasses.

...

At 2 p.m., on the main road of Diagon Alley.

At the end of the towering street of Gringot Bank, facing the Diagon Alley, the whole is built of snow-white marble carvings.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Loren walked on the right side of the street, and the shops along the street had display windows. The glass outside was polished to a bright mirror, and the price was highlighted with red ink. As a senior alchemist, he could easily analyze the cost of those goods. , from this to get the profit, and from time to time, calculate how much you can earn if you make these things every day, and if the refining steps are simplified, how much should the new formula be sold to the merchant.

Although he would not do these things with his lazy personality, it did not prevent him from calculating how much he could earn and gain satisfaction from it.

Hermione and Ginny walked behind him, gathered together and muttered quietly, thinking that their voices were low and no one could hear them, but in fact he still heard a few words clearly.

"Hermione, what's your relationship with Loren..."

“…”

"What's wrong with this? Harry is a fool. As a Gryffindor, he doesn't have the courage to get intimate with his girlfriend. He is obviously a boy, he is more shy than me, and he can only kiss..."

“…”

Courage of intimacy?

Not only did he have it, he was also very big.

Hermione seemed to have signs of looking up, and Loren calmly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the boys in front of him.

Those roommates didn't know what they were talking about. Some were thinking about things, some were dull with their stomachs, and some were screaming and chattering, looking not very smart.

"It's a bit boring."

"Let's go to the next door to the Overturn Alley."

"What if I meet a black wizard?"

"That would be better!"

"I learned a new spell recently."

“…”

The noisy sound echoed on the street. Seeing them approaching, the pedestrians and clerks on the roadside showed a look of alertness, and they were relieved to watch them leave.

Loren looked at Neville, who was in a daze, and stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you thinking?"

"No... nothing." Neville was a little panicked.

"Have your grandma told you that you are not good at lying?"

"..." Neville's ears began to turn red again, just like when he first entered school.

Loren found it funny: "Does your grandma have something to tell me?"

Neville nodded subconsciously and shook his head quickly.

"You just say it directly. I will refuse unreasonable things directly. I am not the kind of person who wants to help others even if I feel wronged."

Neville opened his mouth, hesitated for a while before whispering: "The business involved in that space transfer device is very big, my grandma..."

"That's right."

Loren nodded thoughtfully.

According to the originally agreed plan, the space transfer device was coordinated by the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center to refine and assemble various magic academies and complete mass production. The raw materials were purchased by the International Wizards Federation, and the funds were provided by the wizard governments of various countries and various magical creature groups. Te and Draco are responsible for purchasing and transport, making profits within limits.

These are all declining pure-blood families. Compared with the profits in money, they want to convert the remaining connections and channel resources into family foundations and establish good relations with the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

Before Longbottoms and his wife recovered and were discharged from the hospital, Neville had not shown his talent. The Longbottom family was almost on the verge of decline. Now that the situation is getting better, Mrs. Longbottom is still anxious, which is understandable...

Moreover, the political resources of the Longbottom family can indeed accelerate the advancement of the plan.

Loren thought of this and agreed with a smile: "Now these things are the responsibility of the Malfoy and the Norte family. If you want to participate, I will write to them."

So Neville smiled again.

The noise of young wizards still echoed on the streets.

"Harry! Look at this and see this!"

"Don't shake me, I'm overeating at noon."

"It's the Fire Crossbow Arrow Collection Edition!"

"Wow!!"
