Chapter 6 The store is open!
After buying the wands, the two people left the store and saw Dagrid in the crowd at a glance.
Lumi quickly ran to Hagrid's side, and at this moment his vigilance dropped again.
The whole person relaxed a lot.
"Happy birthday Harry."
Hagrid handed the cage in his hand to Harry, and at the same time put his big hand on Lumi's shoulder cheerfully.
Inside the cage is a white owl.
This beautiful looking owl successfully captured Harry's heart.
Lumi looked at the owl, not recognizing the species, but he could tell based on its build.
It cannot carry tons of ingredients between stores and schools.
"Oh sorry Lumi, I don't know what kind of owl you like, I can take you to buy it together."
"No, I will come over often to check it out in a while, and I will buy it when the time comes."
After all, it was only July 31st and school started on September 1st. He had a full month to make money.
Hagrid took the two of them to the Leaky Cauldron and opened a room. No matter how reluctant Lumi was, he could only take out a few galleons and put them on the counter.
During this time, Lumi's heart ached all the time.
Every dollar he spent felt like a cut of flesh.
During dinner that night, Hagrid explained to the two why Harry was so famous.
In just a few words, Lumi learned about a potentially dangerous person.
Voldemort.
And his Death Eaters hiding in the shadows.
For the rest of the time, Harry and Hagrid went to Diagon Alley every day to play and buy. They left early and came back late every day, and their lives were more regular than those of the store employees.
Lumi went to Gringotts every day to withdraw money, and would not stop until the room was full of gold Galleons.
It's still not enough to have only 20,000 Galleons on hand. Although this is a huge amount of money, there are too many places in the magical world that require money.
Moreover, Lumi planned to expand the cake shop into the magical world. He could foresee that this would make his Galleons grow rapidly.
So what exactly do you do?
Lumi went back to the cake shop and took out the one million pounds at his disposal.
Hagrid was responsible for taking the money, and Lumi and Harry carried the cash box to Gringotts Bank together.
He planned to exchange all these pounds for galleons.
"Can't change it!"
The goblin in charge of the exchange screamed and looked at Lumi and the others with its eyes like those of an enemy who killed his father.
"Why can't I change it?"
Lumi didn't want to take the money back, so he asked.
"Too much, too much! We can't possibly exchange you for so many Galleons!"
The goblin's screaming voice was very unpleasant. He shouted hysterically to the three of them: "You can't even think of taking away a knut!"
Lumi was very dissatisfied with this.
For this reason, he also found the goblin supervisor, but the goblin supervisor firmly said to Lumi: "You can't exchange too many galleons. After all, the pound is just a piece of paper here. If it weren't for taking care of you Muggles, Wizard, we won’t even give you a replacement!”
Having said this, Hagrid and Harry on the side were also saying that if they continued to make trouble, they would most likely be retaliated by the goblins of Gringotts.
What can Lumi do? Just bear with it.
Sooner or later, we can defeat all these monsters.
Those who refuse to be beaten are thrown into the well. There is no metal at all, hum!
So the three of them took the money and moved it back.
But is this matter over yet?
impossible!
Lumi is not someone who has to swallow his anger after suffering a loss.
That night he searched the cabin inside and out, and finally found two keys in a corner.
The key was exactly the same as Harry's.
Obviously, this is the small treasury of his father, José Gugliel.
With his father's inheritance in hand, Lumi took Hagrid to Gringotts again the next day.
What happened yesterday made the goblins dislike this little wizard very much, but when Lumi took out the two keys, the goblins had to hold back no matter how unhappy they were.
It took Lumi and Hagrid to the vault corresponding to the key.
There isn't much in one of them, and if you calculate it carefully, it's 120,000 galleons.
I really don’t know how my father got all this money.
Well, the second vault, the money here is pretty good, there are hundreds of thousands.
Looking at the neatly arranged gold mountains in the vault, Lumi was very satisfied.
As for how his father got the money?
Lumi didn't care.
He took these Galleons away in front of these goblins.
Seeing the expressions on their faces that they wanted but couldn't get it, Lumi was very satisfied.
But the goblin's revenge... probably won't end that easily. The top priority now is to find a backer.
Hagrid is big enough, but the mountain is still too short.
What comes next is the highlight.
Lumi bought two shops in good locations in Diagon Alley.
Just like the store on Magnolia Road, the infrastructure remains unchanged, the wall is penetrated, and the two stores are merged into one.
A construction team was invited and the store was successfully renovated.
Needless to say, the construction team in the Wizarding World is extremely efficient. The store was renovated in two days, and magic was added to some facilities at Lumi's request.
Finally, according to Lumi's request, the sign must have movable forks and spoons.
The magic cake shop is officially opened.
Lumi resumed his old job, but this time he was the only one responsible for the work.
It's a bit harder than in the early years.
This store attracted the attention of customers as soon as it opened.
Strangely, the store has neither an owner nor a receptionist.
The tables and sofas are neatly arranged, and each table has an exquisite menu.
At first glance, the store feels very high-end everywhere.
There are no expensive decorations in this store, just tiled walls and a checkerboard-like floor, with metal chandeliers above each table.
There's nothing else, not even a bar.
When these curious guests sat on the sofa and saw the menu, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Each menu is painted with exquisite cake patterns, and each of the small cakes on it is mouth-watering.
It's just that it says one galleon a piece, and this price makes many people feel uneasy.
There is no one to take orders and no shopkeeper to listen to their opinions.
"I want to try this Basque cake."
When a guest was talking to himself, a small grid suddenly opened on the wall, and a fragrant cake flew out from it and slowly landed in front of the person.
Exactly the same as in the picture.
The man looked surprised, took a spoon, scooped out a little bit, and put it into his mouth.
Then his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the little grid in disbelief. Then he quickly finished the cake regardless of other people's eyes and shouted loudly: "One more, no, five Basque cakes, and I want this and this." There is this.”
At this moment, he didn't care about Galleons at all. Galleons and other things were just floating clouds when the food was delicious.
As he announced the names of the dishes like a machine gun, the cake flew out of the grid with a rich aroma and was placed in front of him.
It’s all thanks to the magic in the store.
Lumi made all the cakes on the menu in the kitchen and placed them in a magic cabinet with a preservation function, so that whenever they were taken out, they would be freshly made.
The sound of the customer ordering will activate the magic on the table, and Lumi in the kitchen can hear the sound and take out the cake.
When loading, each plate will automatically fly to the table bound to it to achieve the purpose of delivering it to the table.
Guests slowly began to enjoy the deliciousness of these cakes.
When the others saw this, they didn't know what happened. Everyone started ordering eagerly.
As the cakes were spit out one by one, all the guests present basically got a portion.
But when someone finished eating and wanted to continue ordering, they found that no matter how they shouted, the cake would no longer appear.
Snapped!
One grumpy guest slapped a bag of galleons on the table and shouted: "Make me another cake! I have plenty of money!"
Following his actions, more and more people began to follow suit, putting their money on the table and yelling loudly.
I saw a basket slowly spit out from the grid, with two lines of words written on it.
Only one hundred copies are sold daily, first come first served.
It's a small business and no credit is required.
Seeing this note, the guests were stunned and shouted even more energetically.
Seeing that no one came forward after shouting for a long time, some people with evil intentions planned to run away after eating.
They thought so, and so they did.
They left smoothly without any hindrance.
Seeing this, some undecided people chose to save this Galleung and choose to have sex for free.
Among them was the guest who ate more than ten pieces of cake at the beginning.
But there are still many people who think that such a delicious cake is really worth a galleung, and the different sales style from other stores and such high-end decoration are worth the galleone they pay.
The group paid and left the store, waiting to come back early the next day.
When the business opened the next day, everyone found that the person who ran away without paying yesterday would no longer spit out cakes no matter how much he shouted.
Those who have paid the money only need to say a word, and the cake will fly to them.
With such different treatment, how could these people not understand what happened?
Most of those who were undecided yesterday chose to hand over one galleung in exchange for a second piece of cake.
After all, everyone who had eaten cake yesterday, without exception, could never forget the taste.
Even when I get up at night and lie back in bed, my mind is filled with the deliciousness of the cake.
They couldn't bear to lose the cake.
Some people who advocated free prostitution yesterday also paid for it. After all, the temptation was too great.
But the one who ordered a bunch of cakes yesterday was miserable.
Yesterday he ate twelve whole ones, which cost him twelve galleons.
After he paid back the money, he couldn't afford to eat, so he had to wait until next month to pay off the debt.
I could only sit on the sofa and watch them eat, and the smell kept entering my nostrils.
In a place like this, you can see and smell it, but you can only watch others eating.
This is extremely torturous.
