A lot of things happened in August 1918. After the defeat of the hundred day offensive, Germany built a thin and narrow two-story wooden building with a thick chimney on the side and a storage loft as tall as Zhao Mai. The original host will be here as a summer and winter rest place, but it is always harassed by Hogwarts students, so the number of times is less and less. The house is not well managed and has accumulated a lot of dust, which has basically become a shelter for all kinds of small creatures. Before the house collapsed, the original owner decided to sell it at a random price, and then moved to the Mediterranean coast of the sunny beach.
When Zhao Mai took over, the house was already rickety. Zhao Mai also deliberately pushed the wall with his hand. He pushed the old house with the great power strengthened by his psychic powers, and let it scream "stop pushing, I can't stand it, let me die", so as to cut down the price. After he took over the "dangerous building", he just bought some wooden boards and used wood molding to make them soft and permeable. He drilled in along the cracks of the damaged wooden walls and repaired the damaged places. Some termites living in the structure of this house, who feed on wood and cause the quality of the house to decline, were driven by Zhao Mai with the natural force to seek new homes in other places and would never return to harass the house.
As a result, the house became clean, strong and vibrant.
"Don't you need to get rid of the rats and spiders?" Xiaohua flies from the house, looking for the cracks Zhao Mai may have missed, and naturally he will find some small creatures who didn't follow his advice.
"I don't mind if they're here, but they're likely to bite the herbs we buy and the magic potions we make." Zhao Mai thought about it and said to Xiaohua, "you can find a place in the house for them. It's a safe area. You can move freely. After you leave there, you have to take your own risks. "
"I don't want to talk to them." Xiaohua shook her head and said, "I'm a tree of understanding, but I'm very clean. Let alone mice and insects, even birds can't come to me. You can do animal talk yourself. You'd better do it yourself. There's a small window in the east corner of the basement that opens out. Let's leave it to the animals. "
Zhao Mai nodded and called on the natural force to strengthen his understanding of animals so as to achieve the purpose of communication. Although he is proficient in the whole language, the animal dialogue can not be translated. Animal sounds can express emotions and different meanings, but they can't be regarded as a language. Most of these sounds are based on the needs of the environment, through the reproduction of ethnic groups down a sound reflection, to express the response to specific stimuli. The most important element of language is to produce abstract concepts, which come from the real object and are higher than the real object.
The same animal will produce completely different sound signals due to different living environment and ethnic groups, which requires the natural force to strengthen the ability of "animal understanding and communication" and achieve a state similar to conversation. We should not only understand animals, but also let animals understand the meaning of Druids. Zhao Mai casts a spell. On the way to find mice and spiders, he sees grain reserves and suddenly wonders what it will say.
"Ah Liang, what do you think now?" Zhao Mai squatted down and poked it.
The grain reserves turned around and showed their belly. They were about to shout a few times when they suddenly felt something was wrong. He looks at Zhao Mai, sniffs, then opens his mouth, sticks out his tongue and says "ha Ha... " The sound of breathing.
"Come on, say something? For example, what would you like to eat most? "
He turned his eyes around, got up, licked Zhao Mai's face with his tongue and wagged his tail, but he didn't speak. He didn't even have the original "Wang" or "Wang Wang". Zhao Mai couldn't tease him.
I don't know if he is really stupid or too smart. In a word, he doesn't reveal the things in his heart to Zhao Mai. There was no time to spend the whole day with it. Zhao Mai shook his head and left. Reserve grain to see the master leave, eyelids shaking, look around, continue to lie down to sleep. It felt that it was the highest creed not to be stupid but to be stupid. For example, it's not too difficult to avoid all kinds of wand rays after hard training, but it's a loss to finish the training. Grain reserves know that as long as it deliberately makes mistakes several times, Zhao Mai can keep training going. Then maintain a higher success rate, it will always have extra meat to eat! You can't tell anyone anything like this
Zhao Mai settled the tiny residents in the house, and then used magic to let the dust into the dustbin, and let the broom and mop work automatically, so as to clean the house. He plans to allocate the rooms on the second floor so that everyone can live, rest and study. The first floor serves as his potion laboratory, as well as a workshop. There are few gold coins left on him. In order to carry out more research, he needs a way to make money. Magic potion is his best direction at present, especially some potions that are widely used. His production efficiency is much higher than that of textbooks, and the cost is lower than that of pharmacies outside. There should be a good market.
As for sales, using a vending machine is a good choice. In terms of automation, or "demonization", the progress and development of the wizarding world is far beyond that of the outside world. Most of the clothes have the function of "self folding" or "automatically climbing to the hanger", and the shoes can "scratch on the mop by themselves". Automatic incantation allows objects to judge simple conditions and then do things, just like programming languages. Mechanical vending machine has been invented. What Zhao Mai needs to do is to make it more advanced by using automatic incantation. In the age when computers will not be invented for nearly 30 years, Zhao Mai can try simple programming.For Zhao Mai, the process will be full of fun.
From the outside, the house has been renovated, and it didn't mean to open for a while, but inside, everything is basically ready. Zhao Mai turned all the raw materials into a panacea for colds and packed them in bags. Looking at the basically empty medicine cabinet, Zhao Mai knew that he had to solve the problem of raw materials. The remaining gold coins needed to be spent more carefully, and he really didn't want to take the gem to the goblin bank for exploitation. I'm kidding. Let the goblins take charge of the banking industry. I don't know what the witches think. If they knew the fate of gold coins this time, they might have already sighed, and would rather start another war with goblins than take back the bank?
By the way, the wizard defeated the elves, so he enslaved them into "house elves". Has there ever been a fight between a wizard and a goblin? Who won and who lost? Zhao Mai thought about it. He had just passed the exam, but it seemed that the whole history of magic didn't write about it. It's a bit intriguing.
The banker who has the power of money dominates all the life of the wizard. Is it the goblin who wins and the wizard who loses?
