Chapter 1141： Some people want to be lazy

 Chapter 1141 Someone wants to be lazy

“Albert is such a bastard, he went on a trip and left everything on us.”

Fred, George and Lee Jordan have been feeling quite complicated recently. Ever since their defense tools against the dark arts became famous in the Auror circle, they have quickly received large orders from the Ministry of Magic.

In fact, the store not only has large orders from the Ministry of Magic, but also receives a large number of mail orders from owls every day. It also has to deal with wizards who come to the store to buy defense items against the dark arts, causing all the defense items against the dark arts to be sold out. .

Even with Lupine’s help, the three of them were extremely busy every day and lived a painful and happy life.

 Just thinking about Albert who was traveling after getting married, the three of them became unbalanced.

 There is no other way, everyone is working hard to make money, but that **** is just lazing around and fishing. How can you not be angry and drag him to work together?

“Didn’t Albert say that someone will come to help us recently?”

Lee Jordan is proofreading a shipment that will be delivered to the Ministry of Magic today.

“It’s been a few days and no one has come.”

 The three of them have not thought about hiring helpers, but they are still worried after all.

There are quite a few guys who are jealous of the big money they make recently. There are even **** who went to the Ministry of Magic to sue them for monopoly. Counterfeit dark magic defense items are popping up like leeks.

However, many counterfeiters have been suppressed by the Office of Reconnaissance and Collection of Counterfeit Defense Spells and Protective Equipment, and their father Arthur has saved them a lot of trouble.

As for some people going to the Ministry of Magic to protest and expose the shady story in the newspapers?

 It’s all useless.

 Because Scrimgeour's request is very simple: bring out qualified black magic defense items.

If you dare to deceive people with fake black magic defense items, you will be fined and imprisoned directly.

While they were complaining and verifying the accounts, the shop bell rang.

The three of them looked out the door and saw Shanna in summer clothes walking into the store and greeting the three of them with a smile.

 “Could it be that…”

"You are…"

 “Albert said…”

 “Helper?”

 The three of them looked at Shanna expectantly, hoping to get the reply they wanted to hear.

"Can't you just finish it all at once?" Shanna looked at the store and found that many cabinets in the store were empty and there were piles of packages everywhere on the floor.

"Yes, Albert told me that you have been very busy recently, and asked me to come over and help you take care of some trivial matters to help you get through the busiest period now." Shanna looked at the three of them eagerly, It feels a little funny.

“Great, I can finally get rid of this annoying job.” Li Jordan was in a good mood and decisively handed over the matter at hand to Shanna.

To be honest, his math skills were mediocre, and the chores in the store almost drove him crazy.

"This is my job?"

"Yes, this is your job." Lee Jordan handed the owl order to Shanna again, "You need to sort out the owl mail order and help verify the mailing quantity every evening, and that is your location."

As he spoke, he pointed to the cashier's position at the front desk.

"This is the price list of the goods in the store. You also have the task of calculating the day's turnover every day. Those annoying things always make my head hurt." Li Jordan was very happy to finally be able to hand over these tedious and delicate tasks. Someone else.

“So many owl orders every day?” Shanna looked at the report in her hand and was very surprised by the high sales volume and profit of black magic defense items.

“Yeah, the sales are so amazing that we’re really struggling.” Fred couldn’t help complaining: “Sometimes I almost thought we were opening a defense against the dark arts shop.”

“No one feels safe right now.” Shanna nodded to express her understanding. She could feel the uneasy atmosphere when she came to Diagon Alley.

"The most important thing is that the defense props we have here are guaranteed and approved by Aurors. We will not buy inferior products." George looked at the stacked packages and couldn't help but sigh, "These are actually all from Albert." Special credit.”

“I dare say that guy actually expected it from the beginning, so he dragged us to do hard work.”

“That guy just likes to boss people around.” Shanna said with a smile, “But you did earn Galleons, so it should be considered a win-win situation.”

"That's true, but... well, it's just a bit unbalanced." Fred was a little depressed, "We are busy working to make money, and that guy is taking a leisurely vacation."

 “Who made that guy’s brain work?” Shanna admired Albert’s ability.

Who would have thought that, through the support of the Ministry of Magic, Albert would soar sales of dark magic defense items.

“He obviously likes to be lazy, but he always talks about leaving the work to the right people.” Li Jordan couldn’t help complaining.

“I heard that the Galleons used by the Ministry of Magic to purchase defense tools against the dark arts were actually obtained by the Ministry of Magic by fining Death Eaters.” George said suddenly.

"Fining Death Eaters? Are you sure?" Zannah raised her head, suspecting that she had heard wrong. Fining Death Eaters was something new.

“It is said that Scrimgeour wanted to kill all the Death Eaters.” George wanted to laugh when he talked about it.

 “How come I don’t know?” Fred asked doubtfully.

 “Stop laughing, keep talking.” Lee Jordan was very interested in such gossip.

"Later, it seemed that considering that Lucius Malfoy was a famous pure-blood, he fined his family fifty thousand Galleons and gave him a chance of life imprisonment." George felt particularly happy when he saw the Malfoy family's misfortune.

  The Malfoy family is rich, so rich that they can buy a life sentence.

 “Where did you hear that?”

"Digory told me last time." George said with a smile, "This matter should not be a secret in the Ministry of Magic. I have to say that our new Minister always brings surprises."

"The Ministry of Magic would actually allow this to happen." Zannah was very surprised, frowning and said, "I think this is like a blatant robbery, but no one has any objections?"

"Probably because all the employees of the Ministry of Magic have benefited from this matter." George guessed the reason why Scrimgeour dared to do this. "Everyone hates Death Eaters and wants to kill them all. Who would Do you care that this is unreasonable?"

 “Benefit?”

"As far as I know, our new minister used the fine to buy defense against the dark arts items for all employees of the Ministry of Magic." George said and pointed to the pile of packages next to him.

"In short, Scrimgeour bought the entire Ministry of Magic?" Zannah was also stunned by Scrimgeour's tricks.

"Yes, probably using the Death Eaters' Galleons to fight against the Death Eaters. Now everyone hates those Death Eaters, and no one will think there is a problem."

"I suspect this was Albert's brilliant idea for Skrein." Fred gloated. "Otherwise, who could have come up with such a bad idea?"

“It’s really like what Albert would do.” Lee Jordan nodded in agreement, “That guy likes win-win situations, and he didn’t even know how many times he won this time!”

 Most of the Galleons fined from Malfoy and his friends flowed into their pockets by purchasing dark magic defense items.

 “But, do they really need these things? I mean…”

“You don’t know how bad they are at defense against the dark arts. Many employees of the Ministry of Magic can’t even use the Iron Armor Charm.” George explained.

“Are the wizards in the Ministry of Magic really so bad that they can’t even use the Iron Armor Charm?” Shanna expressed doubts about this. Shouldn’t the wizards who can work in the Ministry of Magic have good grades? Why is it so stretched?

“That’s because we were lucky enough to meet Albert who was willing to teach us.” After helping to sort out today’s emails, Fred turned around and asked, “You should be fine with spaghetti for dinner!”

 “What kind of noodles?” Shanna didn’t respond for a moment.

"Today's dinner." George explained: "I will ask the house elf to help prepare an extra portion later."

“The house elf was also hired by Albert to help take care of the lives of the few of us.” Lee Jordan explained, “By the way, Dobby’s cooking skills are very good, you will know later.”

"It's almost six o'clock. I dare say Diggory is late again today." Fred suddenly said, "How about we send the other mail out first."

 “Who said I was late.”

“One minute and thirty-seven seconds,” George said, shaking his pocket watch.

"Then your pocket watch must be faster." Digory didn't care, his eyes fell on the package in the corner of the store, and he began to call other Ministry of Magic employees to help check and accept it.

 “Fifty pieces in total.”

 After they put the package into a seamless stretch bag, they took George to Gringotts and settled the payment on the spot.

 This is the reason why Albert is willing to give the Ministry of Magic a 20% discount.

Although it seems that they have made a lot less Galleons, they actually do not suffer a loss, because they set the price themselves, and even if it is higher, others will not know, not to mention it can earn themselves a good reputation.

 “It’s really enviable!”

 “I’m so jealous, you have two followers.”

"No, you can't say this nonsense." Digory made a shushing gesture, "One of them is here to give money, the other is here to check the quality of the dark magic defense items, and I am just an errand boy."

“Originally we planned to ask Digory to come to the store to help.” Fred shrugged, “but this guy actually went to work for my father as an assistant.”

“However, now that Zannah is here, we don’t need you anymore.”

"It's really sad." Digory took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fred. "This is the Ministry of Magic's request for defense against the dark arts. If you can..."

"We can't, we are too busy now, and we don't think we have the ability." Fred interrupted, "I will forward the letter to Albert, but you also know that he is traveling after marriage, and no one knows about it. Where did he go, so we can only wait a little longer, and we will reply to you as soon as we have the results."

“Well, I’ll leave first, and you can deliver the next batch as soon as possible!” Digory was a little helpless, but he also knew that it was best not to disturb Albert’s post-wedding trip now.

"I can't get up quickly. There are too many things to do every day. We are almost exhausted." Fred looked at Digory's leaving back and couldn't help complaining.

"By the way, I almost forgot something. How is your potion?" Lee Jordan turned around and asked. "Can you make vitality tonic?"

“Oh, this is no problem, my potion NEWTs certificate got E (good).” Shanna asked doubtfully. "You need me to brew a vitality tonic?"

"Yes, we need that thing to stay active. Working every day is too tiring. The three of us have average potion levels. We used to use the stock left by Albert, but it was used up in the past two days." Li Jordan said and looked at Fred, "I remember that Albert left the formula for the vitality tonic."

"Wait a mininute."

Fred walked inside and quickly brought out a notebook.

"How about it?"

"It should be fine if you follow the formula." Shanna flipped through the formula of the vitality tonic and asked curiously, "Is this Albert's improved version?"

"right."

 At this moment, George's voice came from outside.

“Help move out all the mailed packages.” George called the postman along the way, along with a large group of owls.

The few people were proofreading and letting the owl take the package away. They were busy until the sky started to get dark.

 Sanna finally understood why Albert asked her to help.

They are really too busy on their own.

Even she was exhausted, and she still had a lot of things to do.

 “Let’s eat first.” George suggested.

 “Did Albert tell you about your salary?”

"Well, he said, he said it would be deducted from his share, so don't complain. He said that such busy work can't last for a few years. He should insist on making money first." Shanna looked around and found that there was something a little bit here. Like the activity room of the Wizard Card Club, music is still playing next to it.

"Let's get used to it for a few days." George hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you think it's suitable, you can consider staying in the store directly. The salary will definitely satisfy you."

He felt that it was inappropriate for Albert to pay Shanna's salary, and then they would have no chance to complain about the guy's laziness.

“Yes, we can’t let Albert pay you with his own Galleons, otherwise we will complain about him in the future.” Fred agreed with George’s proposal.

“We must not let that guy succeed, otherwise he will leave everything to us in the future!” Lee Jordan also agreed with Fred and George’s decision.

"We'll discuss this later. I'm just here to help." Shanna didn't agree immediately and changed the topic, "Where are you and Angelina now?"

 “She wants to play ball.” Fred was helpless. Although he also supported Angelina in playing ball,...

"Take your time, don't be in a hurry when chasing a girl." Shanna said with a smile, "Angelina actually likes you. However, she won't give up Quidditch easily, so you may have to wait for a while. "

"I can afford to wait, but I'm afraid..." Fred didn't finish his sentence.

　　After graduating from school, many couples are busy with their own affairs, and their relationship gradually fades away.

 “The welfare you have here is so good!” Shanna looked at the Italian seafood pasta that was served and quickly changed the subject.

 She knew what Fred was worried about.

"Yes, we work overtime at night and have late night snacks. If it weren't for these delicacies, we all doubt that we would be able to survive." George took over the topic very understandingly, "There will be Italian vegetable soup later, which is very delicious. You can't help it at all." miss."

At this moment, a ball of silver light passed through the wooden door and landed on the dining table, making Sirius's voice.
