Chapter 302 The Werewolf
Chapter 302 Werewolf
During the two-month vacation, Wei Xiao spent all his time building the Qimen Shrine. He also found time to compile the second-grade textbook "Water System Taoism", which was published in 10,000 copies. It was almost sold out soon after it was put on the shelves.
.
Wei Xiao seemed to have a new home. He shopped in all the shops in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, bought everything he could find suitable, and moved it into the Qimen Shrine.
But in this way, the money was spent like water. Although he made a lot of money buying books, which prevented him from spending his old capital and taking out gold bars to exchange for gold galleons at Gringotts, he was still unhappy.
"I can't just sit there and live in vain, I have to do some business to make some money..." Wei Xiao thought silently.
He is not good at potions, and he is not as good at magic spells as the magicians in this world.
You still have to sell Taoist things and make money in the spiritual realm that you are good at...
In the end, Wei Xiao decided to open a Chinese magic supplies store, making wind-controlling flying charms, golden light body suits, Liuwu Escape-shaped stakes, star-chasing cloud lanterns, and dragon-capturing crane plates. He also used the space telescopic spell combined with Taoist Xuantian Escape
Difa, made storage belts, storage bracelets, storage necklaces, storage rings...
He has a celebrity effect, and the store was extremely popular as soon as it opened. Many people crowded in the aisles of Knockturn Alley and blocked the door of Xiaoyaoju to watch his demonstration.
Everything Wei Xiao makes is not cheap. He still follows the usual practice of only cutting leeks from the rich. The cheapest wind-controlling flying talisman costs a gold galleon. In his shop, there is no need to use silver coins.
But even so, there are so many people buying them that the supply almost exceeds the demand.
Wei Xiao is too busy by himself, and school is about to start, so he has to recruit a clerk to continue operating the store in his absence.
There were many people who applied for the job, but Wei Xiao was not satisfied with them. These people were either cunning, arrogant, or heartless and not smart enough. Wei Xiao looked around and couldn't find the right one. He wanted to find someone reliable.
It's not easy to look after a store, and he would rather be short-term than over-indulgent.
In the last few days, an unexpected person came to apply.
"Remus Lupin? Are you here to apply for a job as a clerk?" Wei Xiao looked at the man in front of him.
"Do you know me?" Lu Ping was a little embarrassed... He hadn't found a decent job for a long time.
He is a werewolf. After being bitten by a werewolf when he was very young, he will transform every full moon night, lose his mind, and attack the humans around him. Before then, he must run to a place without people to wait for the transformation.
, so almost no boss is willing to hire him.
He lived a very poor life, his clothes were very torn, his suitcase was very old, and there were patches in some places.
The magic spell of "restoring things as before" can only restore broken things, but it cannot make old things brand new.
Wei Xiao was a little surprised. He was very interested in werewolves and studied them: "Very good, you are hired!"
"Really...really? I was actually...bitten by a werewolf when I was a child..."
"I know you are a werewolf, but isn't there wolfsbane potion now? You can drink it in advance to stay awake, but I don't know if it's true?"
"It's true, but the drug was just developed and hasn't even been fully released yet, so it's very expensive."
"It doesn't matter! I paid for it, as long as you keep an eye on this store!" Wei Xiao said generously.
Lupine didn't know what to say: "The gold galleons it costs to buy the wolfsbane potion may be more than my salary. I mean, if possible, three days before and after the full moon night, I
I can ask for leave, I can hide in the mountains, and the losses caused by the delay in business operations for these three days can be deducted from my wages."
"Well... that's okay, but I have to buy the Wolfsbane potion." Wei Xiao took out a hundred gold galleons and handed it to Lu Ping, "As the store's operator, you should buy a bottle of Wolfsbane potion as soon as possible.
Come back and keep it for later use. Then, this semester, I will teach you this store. In addition to the fixed basic salary, if all goods are sold, I will give you 3% of the price as a bonus."
"Oh, my God! You are really a very generous boss..." Lu Ping felt that he had found a treasure!
He and Sirius are classmates and best friends, good buddies who have been through life and death. Not long ago, he was fired by a boss. He worked hard for the other party for thirty-seven days, and only received thirteen days' wages. And he was dismissed by that boss.
The hateful and stingy boss humiliates and ridicules.
He saw Sirius and told his good friends about it. Sirius was about to teach the boss a lesson and avenge him, but he stopped him. He is a werewolf. Although he was originally a human and was only bitten by a werewolf, he is now
Like a werewolf, he will transform every full moon night and become an irrational werewolf. Most people regard him as an alien. If he makes trouble, he will most likely be kicked out of human society and go to a werewolf colony.
live.
He didn't want to go, he didn't want to hang out with those beasts that fought cruelly, ate raw meat and drank human blood. He still wanted to live as a human being.
Sirius and Harry urged him to apply for Wei Xiao's job, and both father and son spoke well of Wei Xiao.
Lu Ping came to Xiaoyaoju with the intention of giving it a try, and Wei Xiao happily hired him.
Wei Xiao didn't hire him out of sympathy, nor did he simply want to study werewolves and wolfsbane potions. The main reason was that Lu Ping was a hard-working, loyal and reliable person. He also had his own ideas in doing things and was able to take the initiative to solve problems.
Get things done efficiently.
In the original book, among the seven Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, he is the one with the highest teaching quality.
Wei Xiao confidently gave him a hundred galleons as working capital, issued a bill, and checked the account book and goods book with him. Both books were enchanted. When something is sold in the store, it will be automatically marked in the goods book.
Once sold, the ledger will automatically show an increase in income.
"The basement and the second floor have been sealed by me. You can't enter. There is a counter on the outside of the first floor. You can stay in the bedroom in the back. There is also a kitchen. You can cook your own food. Just don't make the house dirty."
Lu Ping agreed one by one.
Before school started, Wei Xiao came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley. The owner of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore sent him a letter the day before, saying that there were new magic books on sale. In the past time, Wei Xiao had already
I bought all the magic books available and put them in the bookcase on the third floor of the Golden Tower. I also told the owners of major bookstores to write to me whenever there are new books.
When I arrived at Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore, there were a lot of people here. A long line of people lined up from inside to outside, and there were several discounts along the street.
Why are there so many people? Could it be... could it be...
When Wei Xiao saw the large poster posted on the wall at the door of the bookstore with the words "Gilderoy Lockhart" written on it, he couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that this useless snack has published a new book!
Chapter completed!
