Arms Dealers From Hogwarts
Chapter 8： Quidditch Boutique
Chapter 8 Quidditch Boutique
The next day, early morning.
The bright sun shines through the window and falls on Gemini\'s face. Gemini frowned under the sunlight, and then got up sleepily.
Sitting confused on the wide bed, Jemini’s left window was bustling with traffic, and the right window was a diagonal alley with crowds. This sense of inconsistency made Jemini realize it after a few seconds of confusion. He is now in the suite of the broken cauldron bar.
"Goo~"
Beside the window, Hedwig grumbled toward Jemini, the sun has already risen high, and it is going to sleep...
Jemini looked at Hedwig seriously: "Your work and rest are unhealthy."
"Goo~"
Hedwig gave Gemini a white look and put his head under his wing.
It sneered at Jemini\'s words. As an owl, his work and rest time standards are very good!
Seeing that Hedwig didn\'t want to pay attention to herself, Jemini shrugged and got up to wash.
The equipment in the bathroom of the room is very strange. Whether it is a washbasin or a bathtub, the shape is the same as that of Muggle World. The difference is that none of these equipment have any water pipes connected to them, so they can still release water.
"Good morning, Mr. Fox."
Going downstairs refreshedly, he saw Old Tom standing behind the bar, wiping a dirty wine glass while grinning at himself with his mouth full of teeth.
"Good morning, Mr. Tom."
Jemini sat at the long table in the center of the bar. A sloppy witch waved her magic wand and delivered a steaming breakfast.
Baked sausage, fried eggs and milk.
This simple, boring and monotonous breakfast for the British cannot be avoided, whether it is a Muggle or a wizard.
There is a saying that Jemini now feels disgusting when he smells the greasy taste of sausage. In contrast, he prefers to eat strategic materials such as compressed biscuits and tin cans sold in weapons stores.
But he didn’t waste this sausage either-keeping it for Hedwig is also a good choice.
After eating, Jemini walked through the small patio behind the Broken Cauldron Bar, all the way to Diagon Alley.
Today’s Diagon Alley is more lively than yesterday, perhaps because Hogwarts is about to learn.
At the entrance of a magic joke shop called Jumping and Frolicking, there are a large number of children, from eleven to seventeen years old, and the business looks very prosperous.
However, Jemini is not too interested in magic jokes and prank toys. His attention is more in the Quidditch boutique next to him.
Behind the glass showcase is an exquisite broom. The broomstick is covered with gold-red lacquer. At the top is a row of small golden prints: Guanglun 2000, which is then framed on a wooden shelf, constantly attracting the attention of passing children.
Pushing open the door, Jemini walked into the store.
"Ha~ welcome."
The shop manager is a big-bellied wizard, dressed in a burgundy wizard robe, with a few large gemstone rings in his hands, looking like a nouveau riche.
"Are you here to see the broomstick, dear." The store manager looked at Jemini and smiled: "Please feel free to watch, but please don\'t touch it at will, okay?"
"Thank you very much for your generosity." Jemini smiled gently.
The store manager obviously didn’t regard him as a guest, but it’s no wonder that, judging from the price on the shelf, the cheapest broom here is around sixty or seventy gallons. Who would have thought that an eleven-year-old child could be rich. How about buying a good broom?
But even if Jemini was not regarded as a guest, the store manager showed good self-cultivation. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable that the store manager can open such a 4s shop in the wizarding world.
"Are you Hogwarts\' freshman this year?" the store manager asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am this year\'s freshman." Jemini nodded.
"Oh, that\'s great." The store manager clapped his hands cheerfully: "For a polite kid like you, I highly recommend you to go to Hufflepuff. Haha, I graduated from there."
"Although some people always say that we are mediocre, mediocrity is not necessarily a bad thing, and there are many excellent wizards from Hufflepuff." The store manager said: "For example...I~"
Jemini smiled, the store manager is quite interesting.
"Thank you very much for your advice."
"You\'re welcome, kid."
"I would like to ask, what is the price of the light wheel 2000?" Jemini asked.
"Oh...there are always people asking these days, you know, this latest broom-and the fastest at the moment, it’s very attractive." The store manager laughed: "I can tell you. Yes, its lowest price can be lowered to 200 gallons. Of course, this is the lowest lowest case. In general, its price should be around 230 to 270."
Jemini nodded slightly.
200 gallons. If converted into pounds, it is about 1,000 pounds. The average salary of two months is not too expensive, but it is not cheap.
Although 200 gallons does not seem to be much, the value of money depends on the era and social environment it is in.
The current United Kingdom was in 1991. At this time in China, the per capita wage was only 70 or 80 yuan, and the exchange rate between the British pound and the soft sister currency was far less than that 30 years later.
What is the concept of 200 gallons now? The salary of an ordinary person in the UK for two months is 10,000 yuan in China in this era.
In this era when watches, bicycles, and sewing machines are the three essential items for marriage, 200 gallons is not a small number, and this will not change because it is in England and the magic world.
You should know that after the Weasley brothers received Harry\'s 1000 Gallon funding, they opened a magic joke shop in Diagon Alley in a very short time, and their lives took off on the spot in Wuhu.
"So far, the total sales of Guanglun 2000 has reached three times that of all other first-class brooms combined. I have to say that this broom is indeed excellent. This is the fastest broom I have seen so far. "
The shop manager sighed.
Jemini nodded, looked around the shop, and finally looked at a black broom in the innermost part of the house, which was a delicate looking broom.
"That one is..."
"Tinder Arrow, an unpopular boutique, produced in 1940. Before the light wheel series turned out, it has always been my favorite. Of course, I also love it now, but it can no longer keep up with the current market. It\'s a pity."
The store manager sighed, and then he seemed to remember something again, and he laughed and said, "But I have heard from the people of the Badmore family that they seem to want to make some big moves in the past two years, so that I can do it early. Prepare, have you heard of the Badmore family? The famous family of broomsticks, their pursuit is never money, but perfection."
Jemini knows, Tinder Arrows...Badmore family...
Judging from this name, the Firebolt that was born later should have been made by the Badmore family, right?
Turning his eyes to the weapon shop, Jemini called up the data of the flying broomstick.
Light wheel 2000.
Price: 90 gallons.
Firebolt.
Price: 270 gallons.
Three times worse...
According to the introduction column given by the weapon store, the high price of Firebolt is because of the metal parts forged by the fairy, which is the most expensive place in itself.
In contrast, traditional broomsticks do not have this consideration. Due to cost reasons, Firebolt seems to be the first to incorporate the alchemy technology of the goblin into the broomstick. It is no wonder that the price is all in the weapon store.
