Chapter 18: Arrangements for the future
The rooms in Po Keke Bar are big or small, not like contemporary architecture, they can even be said to perfectly follow the architectural style of a century ago.
However, neither the oak furniture nor the old fireplace attracted William’s attention. His head lost control when he first touched the pillow, and when his eyes were opened again, there was a hint of pink coming out of the window. The color is golden.
"Hiss," William subconsciously reached out to block the sun, but found that his entire arm was numb.
moving around his body that had become rigid because he slept all night without taking off his clothes, William began to look for a clock in the room.
This time he was lucky. Although the hourglass-like object on the table had nothing to do with the alarm clock, when William looked over it, the sand still showed the current time with fluorescent light.
It's nine o'clock, have I slept for so long?
After realizing this fact, the stomach quickly began to protest—since yesterday afternoon, William only drank a cup of hot chocolate.
Straightforwardly closing the door of the room, William rushed downstairs to see if there was any leftover breakfast for him to fill his hungry stomach, but when he rushed to the bar, old Tom had already smiled. A basket of sandwiches was placed in front of him.
"The soup is in the kitchen. I'll bring you a copy later-yes, eat well. Those hangover guys will have to curse later, don't argue with them."
Before William could understand it, the upper floor of the bar was already yelling, people with a country accent, Spanish, and French. The unintelligible slang and foreign curses really opened his eyes to William.
He didn’t care either. He took the food and found a place with better light, and then sat down. After about two or three minutes, the scolding upstairs gradually subsided. At this time, Tom came over with a large bowl of soup. He sat down opposite.
"Why are you so tired? I knocked on the door for three minutes last night and didn't see you wake up."
"Don't mention it, I was so happy after that ghost place came out, and I was tired and paralyzed as soon as the happy energy passed. From yesterday to now, my stomach is empty and I haven't eaten anything."
William swallowed the last bite of the sandwich in his mouth, and then he mumbled. The original body is not very familiar with old Tom, but he has taken the business of two potions here.
As for the fact that he was in Azkaban, William felt that it was not a secret to be in front of a bar owner, but just to conceal the difference between him and the original.
After all, I have been in Azkaban once, but it is normal to become different.
"What are your plans for coming out this time? Do you still take the potion business?"
"Take it, why not take it, and it’s not against the law — but this month, it’s fine. I haven’t touched the crucible for a while, so there’s no guarantee for the success rate."
William has no plans to let go of the food craftsmanship. Although he has successfully applied for a professor this time, he has already planned to leave Hogwarts accidentally because of being a professor for less than a year. Then he will not have to rely on potions to eat together?
The label of the potion refined by the professor of potions at Hogwarts can double the price of the potion. Defense against the dark magic—no, the potion refined by the professor of protection when the young wizard fights has a longer name and cannot be sold. What kind of money.
The refining of potions is a technical task, not like traditional Chinese medicine. Once you have finished the potion, you can prepare the potion and bring it back. It is better to cook potions for the general public. The potions for general use are better. The employees of the potion shop will make more and more complicated ones every day. Potions or other small potions are generally commissioned by outsiders to help them make them. Famous experts can sign a name on the potion, and everyone can be assured of the effect of the medicine and naturally give up the high price.
As a wild pharmacist like William who hasn’t come out, Professor Hogwarts will naturally have to go back to his old profession. He dare not waste a year at Hogwarts, while improving his potion skills. On the one hand, it is also considered to be a name for his future, and if he picks up early, he will not be blinded in his eyes in the future, and he does not even have a business to eat.
As for if you find that you don’t have any talent for potions, then consider changing your career—his current impression of the magical world is entirely from the memory of his predecessor, can he arrange everything in the future without knowing anything Up?
With that ability, he had already activated the clicker on the plus sign of the system interface, and Jinshan Ranger didn't dare to change it like that.
William’s reply made old Tom quite satisfied—he and William didn’t have any good friendships. This time I came to ask about the mentality of old people accustomed to preaching to young people. Since the other party came out from places like Azkaban, they are still the same. If he didn't become impatient, he would naturally continue to push the potion list to William.
There are a lot of potions, but it’s fine to train the hairy boy. Hogwarts graduates a group of new students every year, and there are even people who can make potions out of poison. Who is it for?
"Okay, then I will pay attention to you next month. Hogwarts will start next month. It is estimated that a lot of auxiliary potions will be ushered in."
William was stunned-his memories of potions have been read a lot, but the jargon of refining potions is really not well understood. UU reading www. uukānshu.com
But he quickly passed by by taking a sandwich and nodding his head. Old Tom didn't have any complaints, and he even liked it-the popularity of his own things is not a bad thing for every boss.
"Well, you have to eat first. I'll order some wine. Mead doesn't seem to be enough. I have to hurry up and place a batch of orders in the morning."
Old Tom chuckled and walked away from the table to the bar, and William took advantage of this opportunity to quickly recall.
Within a few minutes, he figured out what that auxiliary potion was.
In fact, it is very simple. Many first-year freshmen will receive good news such as you are going to be a sister or a brother when they come home during the Christmas holidays after entering Hogwarts, and then after the fifth grade OWL exam , If the results are too bad, you will also hear similar good news.
The so-called auxiliary potion is basically a thing used to help these situations quickly reach, and there will be an explosive increase in demand during the month of freshmen enrollment.
But William hasn’t even learnt similar potions—the ghosts know how many weird potions there are in the wizarding world. They seem to be a little bit for all purposes, and there are all used for resurrection, just like you can’t participate without potions. thing!
The second sandwich was swallowed, and William's stomach finally didn't urge him so urgently. Only then did he have time to taste how the sandwich was made.
The sandwiches are mediocre, but the sausage inside has a strong garlic aroma, which makes this thing a step up from barely edible, but the soup has a slight spicy and sour taste, which is unusually appetizing. He couldn't help but use half a slice of bread to dry up the remaining soup in the bowl.
Eating and drinking, William stretched his waist in satisfaction-his journey to Diagon Alley officially began.
