Chapter 241： Kanon, Kanon (1/2)

Latest website: After December, it snowed more frequently in Scotland.

Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding forest were covered with white snow, and the surface of the black lake around the castle was re-frozen with a thick layer of ice. A new round of skating craze is set off by the lake. Albert has been there once and met the skater Katrina. This Miss McDoug still has not given up the idea of ​​learning to skate.

I don't know whether it is because of the extremely poor talent or other reasons. The smart Katrina just can't learn to skate.

However, Albert is not so worried about encountering the skater while skating. Because he seldom goes back to skating by the Black Lake, Albert spent most of his free time in the woods around the school looking for snow mushrooms, a specialty of winter.

Snow mushroom, also known as cedar mushroom, is a mushroom that only appears in winter when it snows. Matsutake mushrooms are scarce, taste good, and have high medicinal value.

Of course, this thing is not easy to preserve. After leaving the cold snow, it is easy to deteriorate and rot. Usually, after picking snow mushrooms, they must be processed as soon as possible.

Of course, it can also be directly made into delicacies. The roasted snow mushrooms are quite delicious and memorable.

Last year, Albert sliced ​​and roasted the snow mushrooms he dug, and almost made a few roommates feel bad.

In pharmacies, snow mushrooms are extremely precious medicinal materials, but it does not mean that they can directly sell the snow mushrooms at high prices.

Although it is cruel to say that, the pharmacy in Diagon Alley does not accept unprocessed snow mushrooms. Even if it is processed, the merchant will not want to buy it if you find that you are not a potion expert.

Processing snow mushrooms is a technical task, and the wrong way will directly cause the quality of snow mushroom powder to decrease, which will seriously affect the effect of the medicine produced.

The black market does not lose a sales channel. Let Mondungus help to get the black market sales, and it will definitely make a small profit. However, in Albert's view, this approach is a loss-making business.

During the period of commodity circulation, middlemen are always the most blood-sucking part, especially on the black market.

Albert is unwilling to suffer a big loss, not to mention that it is stupid to sell magic raw materials directly. If the raw materials can be processed into finished products, they will be able to obtain greater profits.

”Store the snow mushroom powder first.” Albert put the freshly picked snow mushrooms into a wooden box full of snow, and once again mentioned the matter to his roommates: ”I don't agree to sell raw materials directly. , That is definitely the most loss-making business. If you want to sell your own share of snow mushroom powder, I can help you contact Mondungus and ask him about the price of buying snow mushroom powder. However, don’t expect to be able to buy snow mushroom powder. How many Galleons Dungues got.”

The four of them spent half an hour busy in the woods, only to find five snow mushrooms.

Of course, the main reason is that after a few people scraped, the number of snow mushrooms that can be found outside the Forbidden Forest is rapidly decreasing.

Albert did not approve of going deep into the Forbidden Forest to take risks, so they were always on the outside.

However, the four of them are not just simply looking for snow mushrooms. Albert is also taking the time to draw a map of the forbidden forest, and roughly mark the location of the snow mushrooms on the map. It will be easier and more effective when picking snow mushrooms next year.

Hearing Albert’s proposal, Fred and George were entangled. According to Albert, even if they sell Albert’s processed snow mushroom powder, they may not get much gallons, at least The Kanon that should have been obtained will shrink by 50 to 80%. The black market price is indeed very expensive, but that is the price of the black market merchants and customers. Unless they are willing to go to the black market to sell in person, and can find customers who urgently need snow mushroom powder, otherwise Only for being slaughtered.

Albert never likes to be slaughtered, he prefers to slaughter other people's money bags, so he does not approve of low-price sales.

Fred and George both fell into hesitation. In their opinion, as long as they can sell a few gallons, they have worked hard to find snow mushrooms, but they also understand that Albert's mind and thinking are more than theirs. Know what to do and know how to make a lot of money.

They finally agreed that Albert would handle these things, and there is another reason that Lee Jordan also agreed with Albert's approach.

”Albert would rather roast the dug snow mushrooms directly to eat, rather than let himself suffer!” Li Qiaodan once said to the twins in private.
