Chapter 102 Permission Management

"Hey! Are you here? What's that outfit? Is it Muggle?"

"I was in a bad mood yesterday, so I went shopping in the city and bought some Muggle clothes to relax. I think it looks much better than wizard robes and is much more comfortable."

Lu Yunkai sat in Zabini Magical Items Shop with his legs crossed.

Hogwarts has been on summer vacation for two days, and this shop is finally open.

Across from him, the beautiful Mrs. Zabini was applying lip gloss on her plump lips.

She pursed her lips and put a cute expression on the mirror.

To be honest, this woman is really a monster.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

"To mediate the disputes between friends!" Lu Yunkai sighed, "You said that some people don't appreciate others' kindness, but they praise those who use them as guns. Aren't they mean?"

"Isn't life all about this?" Mrs. Zabini smiled and put away her lip gloss, "If you want to make your life more valuable, being used by others can also give them the illusion that you are still useful, right?"

"That's right. You treat me the same way."

"Don't give me that! We are cooperating with each other! If I really use you, can you make the most money?" Mrs. Zabini rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai "Then how do you manage your Potter friends?"

"...You know I'm talking about Harry?"

"How could I not know what friends you have? Among those friends, the one who can be used as a gun by others is not only the famous Harry Potter, but also Draco Malfoy?" Madam Zabini smiled, "But I heard from Blaise that you have always had a good relationship with Harry, right? You just saved his life recently."

"Not me. It's him and his friends..."

"Girls?"

"Is gender so important?" Lu Yunkai was a little sensitive to such topics in front of Madam Zabini.

"Of course! Normal kids your age are used to getting together and quarreling with the opposite sex! After two years, you will naturally understand that it is stupid to do so." Madam Zabini waved her hand, "There are not many boys who are as precocious as you and can understand that the one who will sleep in the same bed with you in the future is a girl."

"..."

"Your sister Erin Hill came to see me yesterday." Seeing Lu Yunkai's gloomy face, Madam Zabini smiled happily, "Do you really want to hire her to grow herbs for you?"

"What else? The price of herbs in Diagon Alley is ridiculous. I can't expect that every time I cast a spell, the herbs I want to use will come out." Lu Yunkai sighed half-truthfully, "And it's troublesome to explain this to others."

"Actually, there is no need! The store is not short of money now, and I have things to do recently. I can't sell too many things if you make them."

"Busy?"

"Private business." Madam Zabini's charming smile disappeared and waved her hand.

Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a gust of cold wind behind him for no reason.

Don't ask! I won't ask even if you kill me!

Of course, Mrs. Zabini obviously didn't intend to say it, and she also took the opportunity to bring the topic to the recent business of the store.

This can be regarded as her reimbursement to the "partner".

After Christmas, the investigation of Zabini Magic Item Store's "selling explosive corrosion potion" was concluded, which made the store's lucky bag sales business suddenly better.

One hundred and fifty gold galleons for a space bag is definitely not cheap. Not to mention a relatively poor family like the Weasley family, even an ordinary wizard family can't afford such consumption, but for Zabini Magic Item Store, those people are not the target customers.

"We originally want to sell things to those customers who don't care about buying a bottle of herbicide with one hundred and fifty gold galleons, as long as he can buy a bottle of valuable potion one day."

This is the best summary of the current business methods of the magic item store by Mrs. Zabini, who has summed up new business principles after the "education" of reality.

Of course, making money from potions is only a long-term trickle, and the real help for them to make big money is still the magic props that Lu Yunkai "transformed".

In the past six months, the number of magic props that Lu Yunkai "transformed" has obviously decreased a lot, but the quality is not bad at all.

Brooches with the effect of expelling vampires but without the smell of garlic, bracelets that can simulate the breath of dragons, mattresses that can automatically massage...

Although there are no "suckers" who exchange a house for a cup, in the past few months, the average selling price of the four magic items sold in the item shop has exceeded 200,000 gold galleons.

Lu Yunkai, who sighed at Borgin and Burke before entering Hogwarts that "dark magic is really profitable", finally has a personal experience.

Even the things they sell are not related to the real black magic!

"Except for the items that have been clearly ordered on the list I gave you, the store will not be stocked for the time being." After talking about the things that happened a while ago, Mrs. Zabini put on a smile again, "After clearing the inventory, I plan to close this store for a while."

"Oh."

"...Little guy! Being too smart will get you killed!" Seeing that Lu Yunkai didn't ask her why she was closing the store, Mrs. Zabini showed a strange smile on her face.

"What do you mean by smart or not? I didn't say anything! This store is originally yours, you can close it if you want!"

"I thought you would want to take it from me and make it your own store!"

"I don't have the time!"

"Didn't you hire a little girl? I think that girl is quite pretty. Apart from not knowing how to put on makeup, she has a very good foundation. I can help you train her later..."

"Generally speaking, what is the income of an herbal cultivator?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Mrs. Zabini's attempt to divert the topic.

"Is it okay? We belong to the middle-income class." Mrs. Zabini put away her smile and thought for a while before replying: "Herbal medicines are inherently valuable! The herbalists I knew who used to be employed by the Shafiq family could earn about An income of fifty to sixty thousand gold galleons."

"Fifty or sixty thousand? That's not much!"

"...Deducting the cost of raw materials, how much can you earn by working early and staying late refining potions for a year?" Mrs. Zabini rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "This is because you can get some extremely rare materials here to refine some that others can't buy. If you want to sell the magic potion normally, you won’t be able to make the same amount of money if you wake up early and work late every day to refine the potion, right?”

"That's right." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Then...should I give her an annual salary of 40,000?"

"I thought you would give her 70,000 yuan!" Mrs. Zabini laughed evilly again, "If you give her more money, you can let her provide some additional services..."

"unnecessary!"

"I said I was helping to look after this store! After all, there isn't anything to do at the herbal cultivation place every day!" Mrs. Zabini smiled even more happily, "What are you thinking! Do you really want to... It's not like that?" Okay! Anyway, it will take a few more years for Daphne to mature..."

"I'll leave first." Lu Yunkai interrupted Mrs. Zabini. It was really tiring to stay with her.

"Did I ask that little girl to contact you directly? Or did you go to her directly?"

"You can help me talk to her. If you need her to help you look after the store, she can also join in. Anyway, you can just pay the salary directly from the share you want to give me." Lu Yunkai said a little cunningly.

"...You brat! Are you playing tricks on me? You're a white wolf with nothing!" Mrs. Zabini immediately understood what Lu Yunkai wanted to do. "Give me access rights to your house, and we'll wait until everything is settled." Then she can go to work at your house."

"Permissions? Can't you visit my home just by knowing your name? What kind of permissions do you need!"

"..."

Mrs. Zabini smiled speechlessly and shook her head.

…

"What have you been busy with these two days??"

"...You are so fierce, you scare me so much that I don't even dare to come."

Lu Yunkai looked at Daphne who was angry with him with a smile on his face.

"Try it!" Daphne rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "Are you done with Hermione?"

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"Then you can properly write to her this summer!"

"...Why do you talk like Draco, so sinister." Lu Yunkai glared at Daphne.

"snort!"

While being arrogant, Daphne took out her wand and cast a cleaning spell on Lu Yunkai who had just walked out of the fireplace. Then she reached out and took his arm, and sat down on the sofa in the room.

"Where are your mother and sister?"

"We are all busy! Why, do we all have to come out to welcome you?"

"...I can't leave yet!"

"Sit down!!" Daphne grabbed Lu Yunkai who stood up and planned to run away.

"What Blaise said is quite right. Girls are really scary sometimes." Lu Yunkai sighed and took out a jewelry box from his arms.

When she saw the small velvet box, before Lu Yunkai could say anything, Daphne's eyes lit up.

"Given to me?"

"Otherwise?" Lu Yunkai handed it to Daphne angrily.

Daphne took it with joy on her face, but seemed to remember something again and rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai.

"Don't think that if you give me something, I will forgive you for not contacting me in the past two days."

"..."

Daphne opened the jewelry box with joy.

Inside is a pair of ear clips.

"It's the bell flower again!" Although Daphne's eyes were shining with happiness, she was still complaining, "Why do you like bell flower things so much?"

"Don't you think this is the same hairpin? I bought it in a Muggle mall." Lu Yunkai said half-truthfully.

Well, this pair of ear clips was indeed bought by Lu Yunkai when he happened to see it in a jewelry store yesterday when he went shopping in London because he was upset about adjusting the relationship between Hermione and Harry.

But at that time, he was planning to use it as a "reserve product" for Daphne as a gift at Christmas.

But today I learned from Mrs. Zabini that the big magical families in the traditional sense have all kinds of magic to protect their homes.

For example, Daphne's house is said to require a personal invitation from a direct blood relative of the head of the family before one can enter. The Malfoy family is said to be even more troublesome. They need to hang a visitor's name tag in the castle's living room so that visitor can enter...

Of course, these were all what Mrs. Zabini said to Lu Yunkai. As for whether they were true, he planned to ask Daphne and Draco later. After all, the house Lu Yunkai owned once belonged to a large British company famous for growing herbal medicine. The family, in order to prevent someone from sneaking into their house and stealing, requires that the owner of the house must be personally invited and hold a "token" presented by him before entering.

Then this pair of earrings was given to Daphne as the first token that Lu Yunkai made after returning home and trying several times.

Of course, Lu Yunkai has not yet figured out how to tell Daphne that he already has a house, let alone invite her to his home.

But this is not important.

Seeing Daphne, who was obviously very happy, but refused to admit it, saying things like "I don't like ear clips, my ears hurt when I wear them", "It's better than a necklace", "Bell flowers are not pretty, roses are so beautiful", "Why is it crystal, I like sapphires" and so on...

In fact, it seems that there is nothing wrong with giving it to her as an ordinary gift to make her happy!

Lu Yunkai smiled beside her and thought to himself.
