Chapter 101 Digging for Food in the Soil

After dealing with all the things in Diagon Alley, Lu Yunkai left Chris, who wanted to reminisce with his old friend, at the Leaky Cauldron and returned to his home by the sea.

With a burst of smoke from the teleporting fireplace, the main hall that he complained about as a gathering hall appeared in front of Lu Yunkai again.

The house was quiet, and it seemed to be two completely different worlds from the noise in the Leaky Cauldron just now.

This is pretty good.

Suddenly, the two rows of armchairs became much more pleasing to Lu Yunkai's eyes.

Pulling out the wand and using the cleaning spell on himself, Lu Yunkai turned around and walked out of the house.

Passing through the door, the sea view in front of him suddenly opened up.

It was so comfortable.

Just when he was thinking about whether to get a set of outdoor tables and chairs so that he could sit here and drink tea and read books, there was a bang.

"Master, you are back!"

Big-eyed Xueli appeared in front of Lu Yunkai.

"Well. Nothing happened at home during this period?"

"Oh! Of course not!" Xueli shook her head, "According to your instructions, I have repaired all the damaged parts of the house."

"Very good." Lu Yunkai nodded.

This compliment came from the heart.

Now he looked back and saw that the appearance of the house was no longer the shabby one before, which made Lu Yunkai feel like living in a mansion.

"Master, if you don't have any other instructions, I won't bother you."

"Go."

As Lu Yunkai replied, there was another bang, and Xueli disappeared.

No wonder wizards and nobles like to keep elves, they are really useful!

Lu Yunkai sighed softly. Although he felt a little sorry for these poor little creatures, he just remembered that if Xueli was not there, he would have to repair the house bit by bit after finally going home for the holiday at the end of the semester...

Forget it, don't think about it.

Lu Yunkai shook this entanglement out of his mind and walked slowly around the back of the house.

When he first came, he climbed over the wall outside the large open space in the north. At that time, the open space was overgrown with weeds and in a mess.

Look at it now! Although nothing is planted, all the land is neatly divided, and the soil is newly turned, clean and without a single weed.

Although this should only be a matter of one or two spells, it is indeed very worry-free to have someone do it in advance!

"Xue Li!"

"Master? What do you want?"

"Did you tidy up this land?"

Lu Yunkai really likes this feeling of being called upon! !

Alas, it is indeed easy to go from frugality to luxury! !

"Yes. Master, do you want to plant something? The old master always planted a lot of herbs here."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded, "By the way, do you know why your previous master was so poor that he sold his house while guarding such a large piece of land?"

"..."

"I am your master now, just say it!" Lu Yunkai added.

"After the previous owner inherited the house from the old owner, he had no interest in growing herbs. He even didn't allow me to help him grow them, saying that he was tired of digging in the soil for food."

"What do you mean by digging in the soil for food! This is a blessing from God!" Lu Yunkai disagreed, "Then what? He started drinking and went bankrupt?"

"He went to Diagon Alley to invest in several industries, all of which failed. Later, he followed the mysterious man, but the mysterious man also fell. He was arrested and sent to Azkaban, but because he didn't do anything too extreme, he was released. Since then, he started drinking all day..."

"So that's it." Lu Yunkai nodded.

Since he is a Death Eater, he has no psychological pressure to take over this house.

He deserves it!

"Master, this is the best place in England to grow herbs. The family of the previous master has relied on this land for hundreds of years!"

"Well." Lu Yunkai pulled out his wand with satisfaction, "Then let me see... how to fertilize in the herbal medicine class? Oh! Yes! Dragon manure!"

Then, a pile of black things with a strange smell appeared beside him.

Then he waved the wand in his hand, and the dragon manure flew evenly to the two ridges of trimmed fields closest to him.

"The place is big, and it's quite expensive to use fertilizer." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, then walked a little forward and came to the other two ridges of fields. Another pile of dragon manure was purchased from the system. When he was about to continue to cast the fertilization spell, the wand in his hand suddenly vibrated inexplicably.

"Eh? What's going on?"

"Ah? I don't know either?" Xueli, who was following beside him, thought that Lu Yunkai's mumbling was asking it.

"No...ah! Why is there something in the land over there?" Lu Yunkai noticed that the land in front of him that needed fertilizer looked like something was about to come out of the soil, something was coming out and shaking.

"No way?" Xueli was also surprised.

However.

Two puffs.

Two huge boxes emerged from the soil and flew straight towards Lu Yunkai.

The speed was so fast and fierce that if you didn't know, you would think someone was going to take something out of the soil to hit him!

Frightened, Lu Yunkai quickly cast an obstacle spell.

"Obstacles galore!"

With two bangs, the two big boxes hit the air wall formed in front of Lu Yunkai because of the spell, and then with two thuds, they hit the pile of dragon dung beside him.

It almost splashed all over Lu Yunkai.

"What the hell is this! Why did it fly out of the ground?" Lu Yunkai looked at the two locked boxes with some annoyance.

"Alaho open!"

With a spell, the box opened.

Lu Yunkai's annoyance disappeared instantly.

Although it was wrapped in a thin layer of wood, when the lid of the box was opened, golden color immediately caught his eyes. The brilliant color clearly told Lu Yunkai that the box was pure gold! !

Even the things in the box, from the table knives and plates to the candlesticks, were all gold!

There were also some gems inlaid that looked genuine at first glance.

Lu Yunkai also instantly understood why the two boxes flew out of the ground. The magic wand that Chris gave him, which has the property of stealing...

Ahem, wizards' work really can't be considered stealing.

His eyes looked at the two holes that flew out of the box.

Good guy... It's really deep! !

"Master! What is this?" Xueli seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of her.

"... You don't know these two boxes?"

Looking at the golden things in the golden boxes, Lu Yunkai was a little puzzled.

These things should all belong to the previous owner of this house, right? With so much gold, why would he sell the house for a broken wine glass? ?

These treasures are enough for him to drink to death dozens of times!

Maybe he didn't know there were two boxes buried in the ground at all?

This behavior of hiding treasures in his own home but not telling future generations...

should be encouraged.

"I don't know."

Xueli's words confirmed Lu Yunkai's guess that the two boxes may have been buried in the soil for more years than it was.

No wonder the previous owner of this house didn't know it existed!

"Well, since I dug it out of the ground, you can decorate it at home... Don't use it normally, just put it there as a decoration... Why do I suddenly feel that burying it in the ground is indeed the best way to deal with it!"

Waving his wand, he "threw" the dragon manure fertilizer that was in the way aside, and walked around the two large boxes. Lu Yunkai suddenly realized that he didn't know what to do with the things in the two boxes.

Use these golden tableware when eating? ? Lu Yunkai felt that he would lose his appetite in a minute.

He would rather use porcelain tableware.

Even if it was placed at home, Lu Yunkai felt dazzling. And these candlesticks, knives, forks, plates, etc., don't match the oriental decoration style that Xueli is now tinkering with!

Is it possible to change the decoration style of the house to Rococo style for these things? That will cost a lot of money! Tofu is folded into the price of meat.

"Otherwise...I will help you put it away?" Xueli looked at the two large boxes of gold in front of her, and was a little at a loss.

"You?" Lu Yunkai glanced at Xueli.

"Master, don't worry! The house elves must not use the master's property at will without your permission!" Xueli explained quickly.

"I'm not worried about this. I mean, are you going to keep it in...your basement?"

"You can also bury it in the soil..."

"Forget it. Then I can't use the wand at home." Lu Yunkai looked at the wand in his hand that was buzzing and shaking all the time, and he almost couldn't hold it, and smiled bitterly.

Hiding in the basement, it will be "summoned" by the wand in a minute, which is equivalent to opening a skylight for Xueli's nest!

"Then..."

"I'll put it away myself!" Lu Yunkai sighed softly, used a cleaning spell on the two boxes, and then put them into the space bag.

The wand stopped moving instantly.

This...

Lu Yunkai missed Chris in Knockturn Alley very much. He really wanted to complain about the broken cat in person! What on earth is this wand! It's so embarrassing!

With a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Lu Yunkai bought some plant seeds from the system, just as he learned in the first-year herbal class, and sowed them on two rows of land that were at least thirty feet square and had just been fertilized.

Lu Yunkai roughly estimated that if he spread the seeds all over the land, and then all of them grew, and then sold them at the price he saw in Diagon Alley, the money he earned would not be less than what he earned from working hard to make medicine and selling lucky bags and magic items in Mrs. Zabini's shop!

So! What's wrong with digging for food in the soil? It's a blessing to have soil to dig!!

Of course, Lu Yunkai was very "smart" and ignored the fact that the seeds he bought in the system would cost a lot of money outside the system... cough cough.

"Can you build a greenhouse?" Lu Yunkai turned his head and asked Xueli, who was standing next to him and didn't know whether he should stay here or leave.

"Master, this land is protected by a spell, so you don't have to worry about the plants planted on it being frozen or lacking water."

"...Then doesn't it mean that as long as you sow the seeds, they can grow in winter?" Lu Yunkai felt that the previous owner of this house was mentally ill.

In a double sense, he starved to death while guarding a mountain of gold! He deserved it!

"I don't understand this." Xueli shook her head, "When the old master managed this yard, he didn't allow the house elves to watch..."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai also understood that herbal medicine is very technical, and it is one of the four most difficult courses in NEWTS!

If he hadn't known this before, he would have left some seeds for Xueli at the end of the Christmas holiday and asked her to sow them in the spring.

Even if he just sowed the seeds, he was thinking of buying herbs from the system to cover for him.

Of course, if Irene thought about growing herbs for her, the seeds that had been sown would at least make his proposal less abrupt.

After dealing with the field that might not grow anything until autumn, Lu Yunkai returned to the bedroom on the second floor.

The moment he opened the door, Lu Yunkai's mood became extremely comfortable again.

Xueli finished the remaining half of the bedroom furnishings he had decorated half of for Christmas. This simple and clean bedroom is completely his favorite style.

Well, this summer, I will definitely have a good time.

With this idea in mind, Lu Yunkai jumped directly onto the huge bed in the room.

Squinting his eyes, with a smile on his face. Soft and bouncy, comfortable!

At this moment, Lu Yunkai's enjoyment was interrupted by the sudden cries of an owl.

Opening his squinting eyes, Lu Yunkai saw Sophie flying into the bedroom with a letter in her mouth.

"Oh! So fast!" Lu Yunkai saw the letter in its mouth and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Hermione's plan has succeeded again. I have to say that girl is really smart!

With emotion, Lu Yunkai took out the rest rack and snacks specially bought for owls in the owl shop from the space bag and placed them by the window of the bedroom.

The owl seemed to know that the place was prepared for it, and landed directly on it, and ate two bites of the food on the shelf without hesitation.

Lu Yunkai smiled and opened the test letter Hermione gave him, intending to annotate it with a "success" and then let Sophie send it to Hermione.

However, he originally thought that there was only a few words written on the test letter, but there was actually a long text.

Is Hermione really writing him a letter?

Then why didn't she tell him to his face this morning at Hogwarts?

With a little surprise, Lu Yunkai read the letter from beginning to end.

Then, he was speechless.

The content of the letter...

It was complaining about Harry and Ron because Hermione didn't tell them everything about the basilisk. They seemed to be angry with Hermione because of this, thinking that Hermione looked down on them and deliberately reduced their contact with her.

This matter... how to say it?

Although this kind of childish behavior will probably be completely forgotten by Harry and Ron when the next school year starts, Hermione is probably not so tolerant.

He sighed softly and glanced at the window where the owl was parked.

The open sea view outside the window couldn't calm his fluctuating mood.

In fact, it's not just the couple, Lu Yunkai himself is also reducing the opportunities to meet and talk with Ron, because Ron has been looking for his mouse Scabbers like crazy for a while...

Ahem.

How should I reply to this letter?
