A day at Hogwarts

Chapter 278 Visiting the Herbal Medicine Market

It was quite cool in the mountains in the early morning. The group of people had sweated a lot after walking such a long distance, and the mountain wind was a bit chilly.

Erica was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, denim shorts, and a baseball cap to hide her long silver-white hair. She shivered when the wind blew and sneezed. A long-sleeved shirt was immediately draped over her body. On the body.

Marlene has a handbag, and Charles helped expand the interior space last year. This time he came out with their clothes. When he saw Erica shivering, he immediately took out the clothes and put them on her.

"Really," Marlene complained, "You are obviously afraid of the cold but you still wear so little. I really don't know how you survived in such a cold place like Durmstrang. Are you dressed like a bear?"

She said and took out a handkerchief to wipe Erica's nose.

Erica kept giggling the whole time.

More and more wizards came to set up stalls, and the stalls opened quickly. Some temporary stalls spread a piece of cloth or cloak on the ground outside, and started selling herbs as soon as they were put on them.

At this time, all the long-term and stable customers came. They came out of the small building by the lake and took away the packaged herbs in large and small bags at the stall. From the language, it could be heard that there were many people from other countries.

Charles asked Marlene: "Where should we start?"

Marlene pointed to a building and said, "Let's go there first."

Charles thought there were many rare herbs or omnipotent bosses in this building, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, he found that the first floor was a restaurant, which was self-service.

"Let's have breakfast first," Marlene said.

Charles thought the same thing. The pig's trotters he had eaten last night were all digested. The two of them had eaten noodles for lunch yesterday and haven't eaten anything yet. They were just "blowing on the bottle".

The restaurant is quite neat, with a long table stocked with a variety of breads, cakes, sausages, cheese, salads, hot soups, fruits and beer, as well as German dumplings that are common for German breakfasts.

Out of curiosity, Charles ordered two. This kind of dumpling is made of two dumpling skins folded up and down. It is square and filled with sausage, onion and spinach. It is cooked in broth and tastes good.

There are a lot of people eating breakfast in the shop, they all seem to be bosses, and those working outside are migrant workers.

There were three fireplaces in the restaurant, and the green flames inside never stopped as wizards came in and out carrying large and small bags.

Marlene said that the fireplace here can only be used by members during this period, and individual guests can only walk.

It was already daybreak after breakfast, and the restaurant owner personally sent Charles and others out.

The boss said to Charles: "Don't come here next time. If there are more people like you, my thousand-year-old store will go bankrupt."

Charles said innocently: "I just tried everything. How can I be so exaggerated?"

The boss sighed and said, "That's not enough. You have eaten nearly five adults' portions by yourself. I think the only person who can eat as much as you is Smith from Hogwarts in the UK."

Charles was stunned, thinking it was him, and asked curiously: "How good is the person you mentioned?"

The boss replied: "I heard that when he was in Africa, he once performed in front of a beautiful lady and ate a poisonous leopard in one bite."

Charles has a black thread, why don't you say that Seamus ate two poisonous horned beasts in one bite, then turned around and left.

Erica and Marlene were laughing so much that they couldn't stand upright and had to hold on to Charles' shoulders to stand.

Due to different geography and climate, some herbs on the European continent are not available in the wild in the UK. There are many herbs on the market that Charles has only seen in books before.

Erica is more familiar with the herbs here than Charles. The first thing she is looking for this time is herbs that can be grown in a greenhouse, so they cannot be too big. Secondly, they must grow quickly. If the herbs are not mature by the time he graduates, his thesis will be lost. Once the method is written, it will be easier to search after determining the needs.

"You can try this." Erica took Charles to a stall selling strawberries.

Charles saw that the red strawberry was a bit charming, as if it was tempting him to eat it, and he suddenly felt strange.

When he came to his senses, he had already stretched out his hand halfway, and the landlady was raising a stick to push his hand away.

Erica also stretched out her hand and immediately pulled Charles' hand away, saying at the same time: "This is a widowberry. It is poisonous if eaten directly."

Marlene continued: "It is mainly used to make medicines for treating hypotension, as well as medicines with other functions."

Charles asked curiously: "What are the other functions for healing?"

Marlene replied: "I will make a bottle for you next year. If you want to plant it, just buy the ones with mature and black seeds."

Charles nodded and prepared to pick a few mature ones, but the landlady refused to sell them.

"Why not sell it?" Charles was very depressed.

The landlady said with a dark face: "The Ministry of Magic stipulates that poisonous herbs can only be sold to wizards who are over 16 years old. You can't tell the truth at first glance."

Charles was speechless. He was only 13 years old in this life.

Marlene was just 16 years old. Her family was a pharmacist and she was somewhat famous in the circle. The landlady had heard of such a vampire pharmacist, so she selected a few seeds that were so ripe that the pulp was almost rotten and sold them to her.

Then Charles discovered an interesting herb at a stall not far away. The long red leaves had detoxification properties. The wizards called it "Phoenix Feather".

Charles said to the two girls: "The shape, color and veins of this leaf really look like the feathers on the back of a phoenix's wings."

Erica nodded and said: "I used to think it was just a resemblance, but now it looks almost the same."

Marlene pouted and said to Charles, "It would be great if I could also see the phoenix."

Charles just smiled, and Ruby went to France to start her vacation before the holiday, because there were delicious food there.

The crushed seeds of "Phoenix Feather" can be used to treat poison on wounds, but it is not the season, so there are no seeds for sale until September.

Charles could only trouble Marlene, and then she would buy the seeds and send them to him.

Marlene said to him seriously: "You must let Phoenix come to me then, otherwise I won't send it to you."

"Humph, you have all seen a phoenix, but I have never seen one. I really want to see what a phoenix looks like."

She began to act coquettishly at the end, shaking Charles's hand.

Charles had a headache because Ruby was running around, and many people found that the body shape and behavior of the Phoenix described in the book were different from the fat ball foodie in reality, causing many people to have a breakdown in their outlook.

At this time, a man's voice came from behind them: "Marlene, if you want to see the Phoenix, you can come to me. You also know that my grandfather and Dumbledore are friends. I can talk to my grandfather and take you to Hogwart." Look at Dumbledore's phoenix."

Marlene's face suddenly became distorted when she heard that voice.
