After this period of hard work, Kyle's shop in Diagon Alley has been basically decorated. Several shelves have been placed in the most conspicuous places, and a house elf is clearing the products piled on the ground one by one.

Place it on top.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dobby." Kyle walked in from the outside and handed him an ice cream filled with nuts and biscuit crumbs. "You have to come to help me organize the goods during the holidays."

"Dobby doesn't find it hard at all." The house elf took the ice cream excitedly, "Dobby just wants a vacation, but Dobby is more willing to help sir."

Even though Dobby takes the initiative to ask for vacation and salary, which is considered an outlier among house elves, it is more like a formality. In his heart, he still retains the same characteristics as other house elves.

For example, I can't take any time off.

When he heard that Kyle was short of a tallyman, Dobby, who had had similar experiences, came over immediately, not caring that today was his weekly holiday.

"I told you why I keep seeing you in Diagon Alley recently. I didn't expect you to open a shop here." A slightly surprised voice came from outside the door.

Kyle looked back and realized that the person who came was the owner of the ice cream shop next door, Florin Fusco, who had just spent money in his shop.

The two met when the Death Eaters attacked Diagon Alley. At that time, the owner of Fusco's shop was one of their targets, but he was later saved by Kyle.

"Welcome, Mr. Fusco." Kyle greeted warmly.

"I just came to take a look." Fusco said, "This store has been idle for at least thirty years. It has been closed since I opened it. I didn't expect that it actually belongs to you."

"It's also a coincidence." Kyle said.

Fusco walked into the store, looked at the items on the shelves curiously, and finally stopped in front of a bunch of grape-like things, "Are you open now?"

"Of course." Kyle said, "As the first customer in the store, you can get a 50% discount on this purchase."

"No need." Fusco waved his hand, "I still have this small amount of money. Besides, I have always wanted to repay you for your life-saving grace."

"What is this?" he asked, holding the bunch of grapes in his hand.

"Oh, you are really discerning. The pods of the king vine are one of the sweetest fruits in the magic world. The ice cream will definitely sell out." Kyle said.

"The King Vine...isn't this a magical plant unique to North America?" Fusco was stunned for a moment, "I heard that it was strictly controlled by the local Ministry of Magic fifty years ago."

"Yeah." Kyle sighed, "Grindelwald and his dark wizards destroyed the local environment, and the place suitable for the growth of King Vine is only one-tenth of the original place. This thing is directly

Became an endangered plant."

"You can actually get such a good thing?" Fusco was even more surprised.

He did not doubt Kyle's words, because even when he held it in his hand, he could smell a refreshing and sweet smell, which was obviously genuine.

And based on Kyle's relationship with Principal Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, he should not bother selling fakes.

"Ah, it's also a coincidence." Kyle smiled.

"How much." Fusco swallowed while holding the pod.

Just holding it in his hand, the sweet smell went straight into his nostrils, and he couldn't wait to taste it.

"It's not expensive, only ten galleons."

Visibly, Fusco's hands trembled.

"Merlin, a string of ten galleons is so expensive?"

"No, it's not a bunch, it's one." Kyle smiled even more happily. "You also know that this thing is impossible to buy in the market, so the price will naturally not be cheap."

Fusco's hands shook even more, and while holding his breath, he carefully put the pods in his hands back on the shelf.

Can't afford it, can't afford it.

He could only earn about five galleons after a hard day's work. If he accidentally dropped the bunch of pods on the ground, his two months' work would be in vain.

"What about this..." He looked at the bottle of ink next to him.

Although he didn't understand why things like ink and king vine pods appeared on the same shelf at the same time, he could always afford such common stationery...

"Mobik Squid Ink." Kyle looked up and said, "This is cheap, only fifty galleons... but it requires the permission of the Ministry of Magic to sell it, which is not available now."

if only?

Fusco suddenly felt a slight toothache.

"That's really unfortunate. I quite... like it." He moved his steps and subconsciously moved away from the shelf.

After walking around again and asking about the prices of several other items he was interested in, Fusco suddenly felt that he didn't need to be so anxious to repay Kyle for saving his life.

The main reason is that it's too expensive. The ten-gallon King Vine pod is considered a bargain. God knows where Kyle got these rare items.

But he also consumed it.

I spent a galleon and bought a box of candies.

"It's really hard for you to find this thing." Fusco looked at the candies that were flying overhead like bees, "I remember this was my favorite when I was in first grade, but it was discontinued not long after.

Yes, I heard that Honeydukes has a new owner."

"As long as you like it." Kyle said with a smile, "Would you like something to drink? Black tea or butter beer, these are the only two drinks in the store at the moment."

"Oh, your store also provides free drinks?" Mr. Fusco said in surprise.

"It's not free, except for friends." Kyle took out a bottle of butterbeer and put it on the table.

As long as they have spent money in the store, they are friends. If they have not spent money... Even if Fred and George come, they will not even think about taking a sip of plain water from him.

Although Mr. Fusco's consumption standards are slightly lower, he is the first customer after all, so he deserves some special treatment.

Moreover, Kyle felt that there was a possibility of cooperation between them.

"I tell you, you could actually buy two king vine pods." He took out another bottle of butterbeer and sat down next to Mr. Fusco.

"No, I can't afford that stuff." Fusco shook his head repeatedly.

Unless he is crazy, he will use two days' profit to eat a fruit.

"You're not eating it yourself, but you're using it as raw material to create a new special taste." Kyle said softly: "The flavors in your store haven't been changed in several years, and the most expensive one is Bashiko. It's time to sell it."

A high-end product.

"Squeezing one King Vine pod into juice is enough to make ten portions of raw materials. Even if one portion is sold for one galleons, you can still make a profit."

"One galleon...can't sell it?" Fusco hesitated.

"You'll know if you try it. If it doesn't work, divide it into twenty or fifty parts..." Kyle waved his hand.

Dobby immediately understood what he meant and trotted to pick a pod and bring it over.

Kyle handed it to Fusco.

"Just like what we said before, 50% off, how about selling this pod to you for five galleons? In addition, I will personally give you a box of old-fashioned milk candies."

"That's...ok." Fusco hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Although five galleons of fruit per fruit was also outrageous, he could still afford it at this price.

He decided to go back and try half a pill as raw material first. If he couldn't sell it... he would treat it as something new.

As Kyle said, king vine pods are really rare and worth a splurge.

After sending Mr. Fusco away, a familiar face suddenly appeared from the street corner.

Draco Malfoy?

Kyle was stunned for a moment, then immediately hid himself.

However, Malfoy seemed to be doing something, so he didn't notice the newly opened shop and walked straight over.

Kyle hesitated for a moment, turned around and said:

"Dobby, I have something to do, so I'll leave this place to you. It's closed recently, so remember to close the door later."

"No problem, sir." Dobby nodded.

After explaining this, Kyle tapped his head with his wand, and as the surrounding light distorted, his figure disappeared.

Afterwards, Kyle walked out and followed Malfoy. He was very curious as to why this little Death Eater who was expelled from Hogwarts appeared in Diagon Alley at this time.

Because Hogwarts has already started school, there are not many people on the street.

As expected, Malfoy quickly turned into Knockturn Alley.

These Death Eaters are really interesting. They seem to go to Knockturn Alley no matter what they do, for fear that others will not know that they are dark wizards.

Kyle didn't hesitate and followed in.

Knockturn Alley is still the same as before. There is almost no one on this small street closely related to black magic. It is obviously a prime location near the street entrance, but the shops on both sides are empty, and even the shopkeepers are too lazy to show up.

.

This is normal. Maybe this is a prime location in other places, but with the exception of Knockturn Alley, people who come here to buy and sell things are most afraid of being seen, so usually they will not choose to stay within a few meters of the street.

The place where the mouth enters more deeply.

After walking forward for a while, there were finally more and more people around.

Several tightly wrapped wizards sat on the ground, with a pile of disgusting-looking things in front of them.

Malfoy frowned and walked over quickly.

Although the natives in Knockturn Alley were very interested in this little wizard who suddenly broke in, no one dared to have any thoughts about him thanks to Draco Malfoy's conspicuous platinum hair.
