In this way, Matthew Wickfield stayed in Lihen Bookstore.

And he will spend more than two months here too.

During the day, he is an employee of the bookstore, and at night, he needs to take on accounting work in a small room in the basement.

A very simple small room with almost nothing except a bed, a desk, and an oil lamp...

Moreover, the environment in the basement is very humid and there are many mosquitoes; in the corners of the walls, a few spiders even appear from time to time.

But it was Matthew's turn, the black-cornered toad, to show off his skills; as Matthew opened the toad's cage, the little bugs quickly disappeared completely, saving a lot of pedillons...

This is the first time Matthew has felt the benefits of raising such a unique pet.

Although life was a little hard, he was just a "homeless" wizard, so Matthew didn't care much about it.

...

The job at Lihen Bookstore is not very busy.

Because there are not many customers here, but there are many clerks inside.

Most of the time, there are more clerks than customers.

Most of the guests are Hogwarts students and their parents; just ask their grades and hand them over the cartons that have already packed textbooks.

The bookkeeping work at night is not difficult, because generally speaking, except for Hogwarts' textbooks, the entire Lihen Bookstore can only sell about twenty or thirty books in a day... and those textbooks have been purchased by Hogwarts long ago and there is no need to keep the bookkeeping; the remaining work is a trivial thing for Matthew to do in a quarter of an hour to half an hour.

The clerks are generally very polite to Matthew, especially Mr. Shafik, the manager of the bookstore, who rarely controls Matthew to do heavy work... I guess he is afraid that Matthew will make a mistake on purpose and cause him to suffer heavy losses.

Of course, Matthew would not do that kind of thing, and he was dedicated to his work every day.

However, the price of books is much more expensive than Matthew imagined.

Any paperback book starts with 2-3 plus-ups; those hardback books start with 5-10 plus-ups...

Matthew also saw a leather hardcover book that looked like paving stone slabs, with a price of 50 Gallons, which was higher than the salary of an adult witch in a month.

Matthew suddenly understood why the Weasley family in another world lived so difficult...

A set of textbooks may cost 30 or 50 gallons in total; at the same time, it is a single-paid family. Mr. Weasley's salary in the Ministry of Magic should not be too high; it may cost their family half a year of income just by paying books every year...

Of course, Hogwarts in this world now does not need to bear this high cost.

...

The reason why Matthew chose Laiheen Bookstore has his purpose.

That is, he wanted to find out the origin of the book that had been with him for almost a year!

After all, the first time I saw that book was at the bottom of the book box of Lihen Bookstore... So, the source of that book is likely to have something to do with this bookstore.

It’s a pity that some things don’t go as they wish.

After nearly a week of indirect attacks, he made an open and secret investigation. Matthew still had no clue.

In fact, as the clerk who received Matthew last year said (the clerk is likely to have resigned now because Matthew has not seen him during this period) - Lihen Bookstore is not an old bookstore, and it usually only sells new books here, without the old antiques...

Moreover, Matthew carefully checked the account books for the past six months and found no purchase records of "old books".

This even made Matthew doubt himself for a moment-

Could it be that the origin of that book really has no connection with Lihen Bookstore?

The reason why it appears at the bottom of the book box of Lihen Bookstore is just because of a coincidence?

...

Time passed day by day and the weather became hotter and hotter.

Matthew has encountered his acquaintance in Hogwarts many times in this bookstore.

They all seemed surprised that Matthew Wakefield actually worked as a clerk here during the summer vacation...

Matthew's explanation is that he prefers to be with books; he works as a clerk in Lihen Bookstore and has a lot of time to read those interesting books every day...

This also made some acquaintances even more "admiration" about Matthew.

In fact, this is a totally deceptive word.

Lihen Bookstore is not Xinhua Bookstore. How could such expensive books be allowed to read them frequently?

Even if a customer is reading for a long time, a clerk will drive him away with lukewarmness...

Not to mention the clerks in their own store.

This is just an excuse.

In addition, Matthew has never met his "friends" at Hogwarts.

...

Until mid-July, the weather was extremely stuffy.

Matthew shrank under a bookshelf to enjoy the cool air.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

"Dad, I've invited Matthew Wakefield to my house before..."

It was Draco Malfoy's voice. He walked into the store, followed by another man...

The man could only be his father, with a pale sharp face and a slightly cold gray eyes.

"You have told me at least ten times about Matthew Wakefield." Mr. Malfoy glanced at his son and stopped him from speaking again: "I want to remind you that no matter how talented or charmed he is... But if he is a mud breed, then he and us will never be together!"

Matthew blinked slightly.

He was originally going to say hello to Malfoy, but now he has given up the idea.

He hurriedly hid behind the bookshelf to prevent the father and son from discovering himself.

"I'm not allowed to say this word on campus..." Draco Malfoy whispered.

"Then you say it in your heart." Mr. Malfoy said coldly: "You must remember, Draco; the contradiction between us noble pure blood families and the group of Mud Birth is actually irreconcilable..."

Just then, Mr. Shafik, the manager of the bookstore, had already walked over.

"Mr. Malfoy, what a rare guest!" said Mr. Shafik in a rather slick tone: "I still remember when you came to me a year ago, but you brought me a big deal..."

"Yes, Shafik, you've made a lot of money!" Lucius Malfoy lowered his voice and said viciously: "Then you lost the most important one of those books for me..."

Matthew behind the bookshelf couldn't help but blink.

He felt that he seemed to have found a clue.

PS: The monthly ticket list for new books is very important for a book. So, my readers, please give me monthly tickets...
