Chapter 237 Profiteers

The wind was wrapped in snowflakes and slapped relentlessly on the windows, and the biting chill penetrated into the house through the glass, but was isolated from the heavy curtains. In the center of the dormitory is a large stove with a blue flame burning brightly.

Albert and several of his roommates were sitting around the big stove warming up, busy with the matter at hand.

"Can Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion really make people smarter?" Fred looked at the green potion. This is the Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion brought back by Albert. The dose in the bottle is probably enough for each person to drink one dose. Small mouth.

"Buffy Brain Refreshing Tonic can indeed make people smarter." Albert said without raising his head, "As long as you drink that stuff, you will easily get excellent in this year's written test."

"Really?" Fred stared at Buffy's brain refresher more eagerly.

"Of course it's true. I've already taken it, and the effect is really good." Albert paused and frowned, "However, it's very difficult to make Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion, and it's also very laborious to collect materials .”

"Didn't it mean that the potion can be diluted with water?" George snatched the medicine bottle from Fred, stared at the green potion inside, and continued, "With Albert's attainments in potions, boil It shouldn't be too difficult to make the Buffalo Brain Refreshing Potion, right?"

"It's hard!" Albert wasn't arrogant enough. Even if he used experience to upgrade skills, he didn't think he could succeed in one go.

It takes many attempts to brew any kind of potion. Even a talented potion master cannot guarantee that he will be successful the first time he brews an unfamiliar potion.

"Flaws are not to be afraid of, just add more water to dilute it." Lee Jordan comforted.

"That's a good idea. Although the effect of the potion may not be as good as this bottle, it still helps to make your mind more flexible and get an excellent grade in the exam." Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of the three, they More confident than Albert himself.

"Don't dream, potion, do you think you can drink it every day?" Albert couldn't help but give the three of them a blank look, "It's okay to drink a little once in a while, drink it every day, and if there is no potion by then, just drink it." It's really become a waste."

"Things are not that exaggerated!"

"Why don't we take this bottle of Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion as the championship prize?" Fred suddenly suggested: "I believe Albert will be able to brew this potion in the future, and now we need to let some students know that we There are special channels to obtain this potion that can make people smarter when drunk. The champion rewards ten Galleons, so the price of this bottle of Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion is set at ten Galleons."

"I suddenly discovered that you also have the potential to be a profiteer!" Albert looked Fred up and down, and said with a smile.

The raw materials of Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion are indeed very precious, and it is very difficult to cook, but its price is also very expensive.

Although the bottle of Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion in George’s hand can only last for a few hours at most, but a sip at a critical moment can solve the written test of any subject, which is actually quite cost-effective when you think about it.

At least, with this thing, you don’t need to worry about failing the exam and being troubled by the professor.

"This potion must be very popular between the fifth and seventh grades." Fred continued, "I think they will be willing to spend all their pockets on Garen for a good-looking report card."

"The premise is that they have Garen in their pockets." Albert said angrily.

"There will be some savings." Lee Jordan explained.

"Fred, you have changed." George said sadly, "I didn't expect..."

"Having Garen is actually pretty good." Fred shrugged his shoulders and said, "Especially after seeing Albert, I suddenly realized that people really need Garen, so that they can be happy according to their wishes alive."

"Are you going to enter the Ministry of Magic after graduation?" As he said, Fred looked at his twin brother.

"Forget it, people still need Garen." George shrank all of a sudden, and immediately nodded in agreement with Fred's words.

"Okay, although I think it's still a bit early..." Albert organized his words, and said: "After I come back from the Christmas holiday, I will start trying to make Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion, and you will be in charge of selling it. , As for the commission... for selling a bottle, you can get one Galleon." At this point, Albert paused and continued, "Or, let's save the money and use it as the start-up capital for opening a store after graduation .”

After all, Albert plans to open a wizard brand store in the future, and he is already planning to bring a few roommates over to open the store together.

"A commission of one Galleon per bottle?" The three of Fred's eyes lit up instantly when they heard this.

After all, Albert is responsible for brewing the potion, and the medicinal materials are bought by Albert himself, and the risk is also borne by Albert himself. If you sell a bottle of Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion, you can get a Galleon commission. That is really a frightening wealth for them.

However, when Albert talked about opening a store together after graduation, the three of them were a little confused, which was too far away for them now.

"At that time, I plan to open a shop for defense against the dark arts, specializing in the sale of items and books that protect against the dark arts." Albert continued to talk about his future plans: "Maybe I will be able to return to Hoag in the future." Watts is an emeritus professor."

"Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, do you really dare to think about it?" The three of them couldn't help but want to complain, they all knew that this position was cursed, whoever was the unlucky one.

"We want to open a joke shop." The twins looked at each other and said in unison.

"There is also a wizard brand store." Lee Jordan suggested.

"Well, we can open a store in Diagon Alley and sell the three stores together." Albert nodded, "We'll talk about this later. Before that, we need a large sum of Galleons as start-up capital. "

"Maybe, we should give that store a famous name in advance." Lee Jordan suddenly suggested, "Big Four, how about this name?"

"Don't you think this name is ugly?" Fred immediately retorted: "People who don't know think our heads are big!"

"It's not urgent. We'll talk about it later. Anyway, this matter will take a long time. Just don't forget to give us a nice name." Albert twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly, and interrupted three He refocused his attention on the mandrake roots he had dried in his hand.

"Are you going to use this thing as a protective bracelet?" George put his newly completed wizard card back into the box, and the three of them are now learning to design wizard cards to help Albert share the pressure.

"Well, after the mature mandrake roots are dried, they can be used to make various amulets, which can effectively resist some evil spells and black magic." Albert explained: "As for these shaved debris, they can still Used to make potions."

Actually, Albert has changed several sets of runes and wood, but the effect of the protective bracelets produced can only be regarded as mediocre.

Today, Albert is not planning to make a protective bracelet, but is trying to make a special amulet. The object carved in front of him is a unicorn with a thick thumb, which is not only an amulet, but also a cute charm.

This is a birthday present for Isobel.

Albert didn't know Isobel's preferences, so he followed the idea of ​​an ordinary girl.

"I think the protective bracelets you made earlier are already very good." George has been eyeing the protective bracelets made by Albert for a long time.

"Even if you say so, I won't lend you to play." Albert said suddenly, and Fred and Lee Jordan next to him couldn't help laughing.

"Your carving skills are getting better and better." Lee Jordan asked, staring at the formed wood carving, "What is this, a horse?"

"Unicorn." Albert pointed to the unicorn and reminded.

"A Christmas present for your sister?" Fred remembered Albert getting a griffin last year.

"Well, a birthday present." Albert responded noncommittally, but he was thinking about how much Galleon this thing was worth.
