The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Latest website: As we enter December, it snows more frequently in Scotland.

Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding forest were covered in snow, and the surface of the Black Lake surrounding the castle was refrozen with a thick layer of ice. A new round of skating craze has set off on the lake. Albert has been there once, and met Katrina, the skating killer, this Miss McDoug still has not given up the idea of ​​​​learning to skate.

I don't know if it's because of her poor talent or other reasons. The smart Katrina just can't learn to skate.

However, Albert wasn't too worried about encountering the skate killer while skating. Because he seldom goes back to the Black Lake for ice skating, most of his spare time, Albert has been looking for a winter specialty - snow fungus in the woods around the school with several roommates.

Snow fungus, also known as cedar fungus, is a fungus that only appears in winter when it snows. The number of pine mushrooms is scarce, the taste is good, and it has high medicinal value.

Of course, this stuff is not easy to preserve. After leaving the cold snow, it is easy to spoil and rot. Usually, after picking the snow fungus, it must be processed as soon as possible.

Of course, it can also be made into food directly. Grilled snow mushrooms are quite delicious and unforgettable.

Last year, Albert sliced ​​and roasted the snow fungus he had dug up, which almost made several roommates feel bad.

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

Although it is cruel to say this, the pharmacy in Diagon Alley does not accept unprocessed snow mushrooms. Even if they are processed, the merchants will not want to buy them if they find out that you are not a potions expert.

Processing snow fungus is a technical job, and the wrong way will directly lead to the decline of the quality of snow fungus powder, which will seriously affect the effect of the manufactured medicine.

The black market does not lose a sales channel, and if Mundungus helps to sell it on the black market, 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 link, especially in the black market.

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

"Store the snow fungus powder first." Albert put the snow fungus he just picked into a wooden box filled with snow, and mentioned it to his roommates again: "I don't agree with selling raw materials directly. ,

That's definitely the worst deal ever. If you want to sell your share of the powder, I can help you contact Mundungus and ask him for the price of the powder. Don't expect many Galleons from Mundungus, though. "

The four of them worked in the woods for half an hour and only found five snow mushrooms.

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

Albert also disapproved of going deep into the Forbidden Forest, so they were always on the periphery.

However, the four of them were not just simply looking for snow mushrooms. Albert was also taking the time to draw a map of the forbidden forest, and roughly marked the location of the snow mushrooms on the map, so it would be easier and more effective to pick snow mushrooms next year.

Hearing Albert's proposal, Fred and George were very entangled. According to Albert, even if they sold Albert's processed snow fungus powder, they might not get much Galleons, at least The canon 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 black market merchants who are cheating customers. Unless they are willing to go to the black market to sell in person, and can find customers who are in urgent need of snow fungus powder, otherwise Only to be slaughtered.

Albert never likes to be slaughtered, he prefers to slaughter other people's wallets, so he does not agree with low-priced sales.

Both Fred and George were hesitant. In their opinion, as long as they were able to sell a few Galleons, it would be worthwhile to work hard to find the snow fungus, but they also understood that Albert's mind and thinking were better than theirs. Know what to do and know better how to make a lot of money.

They finally agreed that Albert would handle the stuff, and another reason was that Lee Jordan also agreed with Albert.

"Albert would rather bake the snow fungus he dug up and eat it than let himself suffer!" Li Jordan once said to the twins in private.

In fact, Albert once thought about selling the snow fungus powder to the potion master Dagworth, but he gave up after thinking about it. Dagworth has many channels to get snow mushroom powder, and he is also a little embarrassed. After all, he has no experience in processing snow mushroom powder, and the quality of snow mushroom powder currently stored can only be regarded as average.

The two are friends, and there's no need to mess up the relationship just because of that.

Familiarity is something that many people like to do in the past life, but once this kind of thing is done, the friendship between the two sides will basically come to an end.

Of course, some people would like to sell it for a good price, but after careful consideration, Albert still felt that it was not worth it, so he never mentioned it.

"Go back, bake and eat these snow mushrooms." Albert suddenly suggested on the way back to the castle.

"I feel so bad for you." Lee Jordan couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Albert, but he didn't object, turning to say in a weird tone. The taste of snow mushrooms is really good, and several people have found a lot of snow mushrooms this winter.

"It feels wasteful," Fred couldn't help muttering, preferring to put Galleon in his pocket over delicious food.

Although George didn't say a word, he probably thought the same thing. Nothing could be more real than Garen.

"Don't worry, there will be Garen sooner or later." Lee Jordan comforted. At this moment, Lee Jordan's mind was clearer than Fred and George.

How to turn things into wealth is a technical job, and if you want to earn Galleons, you must use your brain to find a way.

And Albert is obviously better at this than them, so it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to leave things to him.

After all, a bottle of Buffy Brain Refresher can be sold for ten Galleons, and several students have secretly asked if they can help get a bottle in private.

If the snow fungus powder is made into a medicine, the price will naturally be more expensive.

In fact, Albert really knew how to use snow fungus powder to further refine the potion. After all, he had a good relationship with Dagworth, and he quickly got the formula for the energy recovery agent.

The preparation of the energy recovery agent is actually not difficult. It is rare that the raw materials used in the potion are some very expensive magic materials, so the price of a small bottle of energy recovery agent is almost equal to the Fuling agent, and the price is not available.

As for the effect of the energy recovery agent, just like its name, it replenishes the energy consumed by people and restores physical strength quickly.

Of course, it also has the effect of invigorating the kidneys.

If only I could get the common sense of snow mushrooms like Mandrakes.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing really only depends on the face.

At this time, a dog bark suddenly sounded in the distance, and then they heard footsteps running towards them quickly.

"What was that sound just now?" The three of them stopped and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

"Does the dog bark?" George muttered.

"Anyway, there must be nothing good, hurry up and leave." Albert had already guessed what was going on, and he urged the three companions to leave here.
