Hogwarts: Capturing Nagini at the Beginning

Chapter 59 If you want to trick someone, there’s no way!

The Honeydukes store was crowded with students. Rows of shelves in the store were filled with various candies, such as almond toffee, honey toffee, coconut sorbet candies, multi-flavor fruit toffee, etc.

There were countless barrels of candies stacked against the left wall of the store. Luo Bin glanced at them and saw that most of the barrels contained chocolate, Bibi multi-flavored beans, honey candies, etc.

The wall on the right side of the store is filled with 'magical' candies. If you blow it up, it will fill the room with light blue bubble gum. If you swallow it, you will have toad-shaped mint candies that will bounce up and down in your stomach.

The dazzling array of candies is dazzling!
  Luo Bin was thinking about buying herbs, so he squeezed through the crowd and picked out a large bucket of chocolate frogs. He didn't like eating chocolate, but he liked collecting pictures. After paying the money, he left the candy store.

He walked forward along the street, passing by the Three Broomsticks Bar, Literary Residence Quill Shop, and Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, before arriving at an herbal medicine shop called Dogweed and Deathcap.

The shopkeeper is a short, fat wizard. He wears a light brown cotton coat, has a gentle smile, and speaks with an upward pitch.

Luo Bin had worked countless part-time jobs in his previous life, and he knew that bosses like this were the worst and most deceptive.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?"

"Do you have a complete range of herbal medicines?" Luo Bin asked.

"Sir, please don't worry. My store has been open for hundreds of years. You can't find a certain herbal medicine here. You can't buy it even if you go to other places."

Sure enough, those who open a store and make money are all talented people.

The shop owner didn't say anything, but he also elevated his shop to the top position in the industry, what a master!

"As listed on the paper, come in two copies of each item, and each portion must be packaged separately." Luo Bin took out a piece of paper and said.

"Okay, sir, please wait."

The shopkeeper saw the densely packed names of potion ingredients on the note, and his orange eyes glowed with gold. He stepped on a movable and height-adjustable stool, and his chubby figure shuttled between the various shelves.

Thirty minutes later, the shopkeeper came back with 30 paper bags. He lowered his eyes slightly and said apologetically: "Sorry, sir, Croni (a kind of sea monster) spinal cord, salivary grass (a kind of growth growing in mountains, emitting... Unique aromatic herbs) juice and ergot (a fungus that lives in the body of a special white worm) spore powder are out of stock in the store. If you have enough time, I can write to the trust headquarters to order the goods."

In fact, out of the list of 50 materials, there are only a dozen that can be used to prepare Murphy Eli's potion.

The reason why Luo Bin listed 50 ingredients was just in case someone guessed what kind of potion he was going to make.

"No, I have to leave the village tomorrow. How much is the total?"

"Sir, the total is 357 Galleons, 13 Silver Sickles, and 20 Nats. I'll give you a zero and give it 357 Galleons."

Luo Bin: →_→, you are ripping off your customers, are you thinking that I took advantage of you because you didn’t do any research before entering the store?

"I heard that the herbal medicine store is having a promotion recently!"

"Ah! Promotional activities? As a store owner, why don't I know that there are activities in the store? Sir, did you remember it wrong?"

"Oh, is it so?"

Snapped!
  A flyer with the words 'Dogweed and Deathcap' printed on it, and a dog's tail grass and death cap drawn below, was thrown on the counter.

Before the shop owner could react, Luo Bin answered first: "The flyer clearly states that the 8% discount will last from mid-November to Christmas, and it does not include herbal medicines or whether it is a store membership requirement."

As he spoke, he stroked the pattern on the flyer with his fingertips. In an instant, dogtail grass and death hats separated from the flyer and were flying and spinning in the air.

"Boss, is this flyer fake?"

Shop owner: (╬◣д◢), angry, the anti-counterfeiting sign is out, who dares to say it is fake? The shop owner slapped his forehead and pretended to suddenly realize: "Hey, look at my memory. I can forget the leaflets and activities I distributed more than ten days ago. After discounting 357% ​​off on 8 galleons, and then erase the decimal point, you can add 285 It will be done soon."

Suddenly making 72 galleons less, the shop owner was heartbroken, but he still maintained a gentle and friendly image on his face.

"okay!"

Under the gentle expectant gaze of the shop owner, Luo Bin put his hand into his cloak, and then took out a large handful of air!

Shopkeeper:? ? ?
  "Sir, the herbal medicine shop is a small business and does not provide credit services." The shop owner said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"I don't accept credit, but I have to inspect the goods before settling the payment."

"Sir, feel free to try it."

Luo Bin raised his eyes and glanced at the paper packages on the tray, randomly selected 3 packages and opened them.

The first package is purple lavender, the leaves are half green and half black, and the bouquets are also different sizes;

The second pack was dried Fijian lizards. The quality was quite good, but it was a pity that it was so small.
  The third package is Fulonggan (a kind of red clay cooked on earthen stoves). The powder is fine and contains very little water, but the color is not red enough, which means that the baking time is not long, and the corresponding medicinal effect will be greatly reduced;
  "Boss, I randomly picked out 3 packs, and all 3 packs were defective. Hey, do you still need to open the remaining 91 packs one by one?"

Luo Bin tapped his fingers on the lacquered tabletop and said.

Shopkeeper: Casual? Only 3 packages of bad ones were mixed in, so no one would believe your "casualty"!
  The shopkeeper knew that he was in trouble, so he took 3 packages of high-quality purple lavender, dried Fijian lizard, and liver liver, and said with a smile: "Sir, I'm sorry, when I was packing the herbs just now, I accidentally put the wrapped paper bags away. When I entered the box, I didn’t notice that there were 3 packets of old materials at the bottom of the box.”

"Here, these are the 3 packets I left behind when I picked up the paper packets. As an apology, I can give you a 9.5% discount."

“8% off!”

"Sir, this does not fit the bill"

"8% off. I promise not to tell others about your forgetfulness."

In other words, if you don’t give a 8% discount, if you don’t keep your word and shoddy goods, things will be leaked out.

"Sure, 228 Galleons, pay it!"

The shop owner said as if he was struck by lightning.

"Ok!"

After Luo Bin paid the money, he left with a large bag of paper bags. If the shop owner didn't do some small operations, he wouldn't be able to cut off so much money.

After walking a few steps forward, he saw a magic equipment store called Devisbans. Luo Bin walked into the store and bought three sets of potion preparation settings. Everything was put into the traceless expansion bag (Sea of ​​Senses). space), turn around and walk towards the Pig's Head Bar.

On the way, when passing Mrs. Paddy's Teahouse, he deliberately slowed down and glanced inside.

Mrs. Paddy's Tea House is very small and steamy inside. The overall decoration is mainly pink, and is decorated with lace and bows everywhere.

Most of the young couples who come for a date are feeding each other, rubbing their bodies, and kissing each other across the sugar bowl. Some even don't even need the sugar bowl, and press the blonde girl on top of them, making the sauce more delicious.
  It’s open, it’s so damn open. Come tomorrow, bring some peppers, and come and experience the excitement.

Luo Bin's breathing quickened and he walked to the door of the Pig Head Bar.
