Chapter 280 The Wind Rises

"Zhang, I've just been here."

Malfoy stood at the door of Honeydukes and said helplessly.

"Draco, I didn't come last time either. If you don't come around, the next time will be after Christmas.

And I also have something else to do with you. "

Zhang Xiao opened the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, his nose was immediately filled with warm, sweet aroma.

Honeydukes was crowded with Hogwarts students. Zhang Xiao walked around among them, watching curiously.

If there was a candy store, this would be it.

The store has densely packed shelves, one next to the other, filled with the most fascinating candies imaginable.

Chunks of creamy peanut brittle, chunks of shimmering pink coconut sorbet, hundreds of neatly arranged chocolates of all kinds.

Dozens of chocolate frogs were jumping back and forth in a transparent glass jar, and there was a small sign next to it: "Bulk chocolate frogs, no card, 50% off."

The huge oak barrel next to the door was filled to the brim with Beebe's All-Flavour Beans, a bucket of Bees' Bees, and the floating sherbet drink Ron had mentioned.

Along another wall are various candies "with special effects": Chuibao Super Bubble Gum (which fills the entire room with bubbles the color of blue bellflowers that won't pop for days);

Bizarre crumbly Buttertooth mints;

the tiny Black Pepper Urchin (“Breathe fire out of your nose for your friends!”);

Ice Mouse ("Hear your teeth chattering and crunching!");

Cream mints shaped like toads ("literally jump in your stomach!"), crunchy sugar quills and popping bonbons.

"You have something to do with me?" Malfoy asked curiously, "What is it?"

Zhang Xiao picked up a bloody lollipop that exuded a pungent smell of blood. It was said that this kind of lollipop was used to satisfy vampires.

"During this period, please pay attention to the direction of the wind in the academy."

Zhang Xiao put the lollipop back, looked at Brother Yan's suddenly serious face, and said softly:

"I'm going to stop trade between the East and the West!"

Malfoy was stunned when he heard this, and then his face became paler.

"But Mr. Zhang, okay, I understand."

Lucius put down his cell phone and gritted his teeth, with unconcealable worry on his face.

The wizarding world may be in a huge turmoil because of this phone call!

Fritz Denis put down the tableware in his hand, wiped his mouth with a white napkin, put 8 sickles for the meal on the table, and put down an extra sickle as a tip.

He picked up the top hat he just bought not long ago and dusted off the non-existent dust on it.

My heart was full of pride, this was a hat I bought at the Tuofan clothing store in Diagon Alley.

Compared with Mrs. Malkin, the price of Tuofan clothing store is several times higher. If those powerful people don't want to customize, then there is only one choice for ready-made clothing, and that is Tuofan!

Well, thanks to the trade between the East and the West, I can also afford extraordinary clothes.

Fritz Dennis stuck his hat on his head, with a calm expression on his face, with a hint of imperceptible arrogance - this was an expression he had learned after practicing for a long time to imitate the vice-president of the association.

When he was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the cute-looking waiter in the restaurant smiling sweetly at a wretched-looking guy.

Just because that wretched fat man tipped 4 Sickles!

Damn, she's never smiled like that at me!

A strange feeling arose in Fritz Dennis's heart. He hesitated, put away the nine shining silver Sickles originally placed on the table, gritted his teeth, and took out a gold Galleons.

It doesn’t matter, I’m the ‘master’ now!

A Galleung is just a small amount of money to me

But even though he thought like this, he still felt a little uncomfortable. A simple meal cost one Galleons. In the past, he felt that he must be crazy!

After placing the Galleons on the table, Dennis stopped preparing to go out, although it was more in line with the vice president's style to just put down the Galleons and leave.

But then what's the point of me giving a galleung?

"Merlin! Sir, are you saying that you don't need change for one Galleung?"

Sure enough, the sweet waitress let out a cry of surprise, covered her mouth and showed a cute smile.

"Yes, there's no need to look for it." Dennis straightened the top hats he bought at Tuofan Clothing Store. Their logo was on the side. That's the only disadvantage. Others couldn't see Tuofan's logo at a glance.

But the waiter must have seen it, and she said enviously:

"Is your hat the one just released by Tuofan?"

"That's right, you know them too?" Dennis tried not to show his pride and pretended to be nonchalant: "I think they look good, and I've always liked their stuff.

It only cost 8 galleons and was worth every penny! "

The waiter blinked his moist eyes and said cheerfully:

"You are really a rich and kind gentleman. Thanks to you, I finally saved enough money today. My husband also likes this hat very much. He dreams of having an extraordinary hat.

I decided to fulfill his wish. Thank you for allowing me to save enough money before Christmas. "

husband?

Dennis's smile stiffened, and he reluctantly nodded to the waiter, pulling down the brim of his hat to cover his gloomy face.

Bah! She's already got a husband, but she's still trying to attract attention!

Dennis cursed in his heart and walked out of the shop quickly.

Diagon Alley was crowded with people, and the lively scene made him feel much better.

Looking back at the shop he often visited, Dennis secretly swore that he would never come again, because there were scammers here!

He deliberately tilted his hat a little so that the gold-plated logo of Tofan could directly shine in the sunlight.

Dennis then straightened his collar and walked towards Slug & Giggs Pharmacy with ease.

He pushed open the green, peeling wooden door.

On the floor of the shop was a row of barrels of sticky substances, against the wall were various jars of powders and herbs, and bundles of feathers, fangs and claws hung from the ceiling.

The whole pharmacy smelled very bad, like a mixture of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.

Dennis covered his nose and shouted at the boss:

"Give me 10 copies of those magical leaves from the East, as usual!"

The boss, Giggs, who was wearing protective clothing and dragon leather gloves, shook his head gloomily:

"No more, nothing from the East."

"No more? Why?"

Dennis jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and he shouted loudly:

"We agreed, I have already ordered the goods, Giggs, you can't deceive me, my potion has reached the most critical moment!"

Giggs suddenly hammered the table angrily, and the densely packed things on the counter jumped up:

"What can I do? The damn Ministry of Magic banned trade between the East and the West!

Banned! There will be no more in the future!

Do you understand?"

Dennis's face suddenly became paler than paper.
