Chapter 241 Chinese Food at the Leaky Cauldron

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspFor George and Fred, the Triwizard Tournament is indeed a good opportunity to make money. Not just a "bet", the winner also gets 1000 galleons, which is a huge sum of money for a low-income wizard family.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspOf course, the Weasley brothers also have absolute confidence in their abilities, so they dare to participate in such a "life-defying" competition. Although everyone in the box is very interested in the Triwizard Tournament, Bruce and the others also want to prove their strength and magical talent to the world. But because of Hermione's explanation, everyone's feelings about it were limited to interest. Who would be dissatisfied with longevity?

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBut Bruce and the others didn’t know that none of them would be able to “run away” in the future Triwizard Tournament, and someone would “accidentally” join the competition. , naturally some people will become assistants and think tanks. In short, these people will more or less have entanglements with the Triwizard Tournament.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter the train arrived at the station, Harry was "pulled" onto the train by Vernon Dursley before he could say goodbye to several friends. The others exchanged pleasantries and then separated. The Weasley family was about to return directly to the Burrow when they heard that the goblins were cleaning up their home again.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter handing the luggage to her parents, Hermione did not go home with them. She wanted to go to the Leaky Cauldron with Bruce. On the one hand, she asked Dobby Opinions, on the one hand, and solitude between lovers.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBut what made the two of them feel embarrassed was that when Hermione said she wouldn't go home for the time being, the Grangers looked at her with "different" looks. They looked at them with smiles, but neither of them spoke. The feeling made Bruce and Hermione feel uncomfortable, and they left quickly after saying goodbye for the last time.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspSitting on the bus, Bruce sighed with lingering fear: "Damn it, damn it"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Who do you think deserves death?" Hermione said angrily, glaring at him.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "I'm not talking about aunts and uncles." Bruce smiled bitterly: "I'm describing my mood now. My dear, your parents' eyes are so good. Ah. Do you know about us?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said nonchalantly: "As long as you know it, why are you afraid? My parents have been together since they were twelve years old."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe words "I'll go" surprised Bruce and said, "My emotional father-in-law is a senior."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Go to hell"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe Leaky Cauldron, as the most prestigious bar in the wizarding world, there is no shortage of customers here every day. When the two walked in, the bar was filled with all kinds of customers. In this situation in the past, Tom, as the boss, would also have to greet the guests.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBut now, although there were many people in the bar, Tom still sat firmly at the bar. There were almost no waiters in the store, but the guests did not rush him. If you look carefully, you will see that wine glasses and food are floating in the crowd and then placed steadily in front of the guests, and you can vaguely hear words like "Thank you, Dobby."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe short Dobby came to the counter cheerfully and said to Tom: "Mr. Tom, the gentlemen at table three are about to pay. This is their Pay. That’s the tip they gave Dobby.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh, you're great, Dobby," Tom smiled: "I really want to thank Bruce for introducing you here."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, Bruce walked over with a smile and said: "Mr. Tom, since you want to thank me, why don't you just buy me a drink."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Uh-huh, Bruce." Tom saw Bruce and smiled: "I was just wondering when you would come back. Welcome home my child. , welcome, Hermione."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Tom"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspDobby also greeted very politely: "Welcome back, Bruce Granger. Dobby really misses you."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "It seems like your life is getting better and better, Dobby," Bruce said with a smile.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspDobby said very proudly: "Of course, Dobby is now the only waiter in the Leaky Cauldron. Everyone likes Dobby's service very much. Dobby Than often receive tips from guests.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled and said: "That's great, Mr. Dobby Tom, you fired all the other waiters."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Dobby is enough," Mr. Tom said, "Of course, I also increased Dobby's salary."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Twice the salary, Bruce, thank you so much Mr. Tom," Dobby said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom smiled: "You deserve it, Dobby."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Dobby, why aren't my noodles coming yet?" a customer urged.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspDobby said hurriedly: "Sorry, sir, I'll be here soon. Sorry, Bruce. I'm going to start working."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Of course, go ahead" Bruce smiled.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione looked at Dobby who was busy and smiled: "If Dobby can join us, I am confident that we can get twice the result with half the effort."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Join" Tom asked curiously: "Hey, Bruce, Hermione, you two are not going to poach Dobby from me, are you?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Haha" Bruce said with a smile: "Of course not. Mr. Tom and Hermione set up a club in school, the Elf Welfare Association. It aims to improve the house elves. encounter.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHearing this, Tom immediately said: "Hey, this is a great idea. What happened to the children Dobby and his companions is really pitiful. In our case, Many customers in the bar have talked about these things, I think this society is established at the right time, and I think many people will support it.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"What a good idea," Bruce said suddenly.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Well" Hermione and Tom looked at him curiously, not understanding what he meant.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs the saying goes, "The speaker has no words but the listener has the heart." Tom's words were simply to express his own opinion, but to Bruce's ears, this was simply a perfect statement. idea.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione asked: "What did you think of Bruce."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said hurriedly: "Why did I forget Taizu's old man's method? My dear, Mr. Tom's idea is simply great."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe person involved, Tom, was also stunned and asked in surprise: "Did I say anything?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione seemed to understand what Bruce said and said: "You mean to develop off-campus, but didn't I think of this before?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce immediately explained: "Yes, but what we thought before was to do it inside and outside the school first. Now that Mr. Tom said this, we can completely promote it outside the school. Concept. You see, so many people are disgusted with this slavery system now. If we can mobilize the civilians, what a powerful force it will be."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione thought for a while and asked: "But our ultimate goal is the Ministry of Magic. You must know that the power is in their hands."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "But the nobles are a minority after all. Although the consciousness of the wizarding world lags behind the outside world, don't forget that this is the 20th century and the 21st century. It's almost here, the people in the Ministry of Magic are not fools, the public is the key to the interests."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Well I think Bruce is right." Mr. Tom said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said: "It does make some sense, but is it reliable?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "We are just crossing the river by feeling the stones. The methods of our predecessors are based on our experience. Let's try it."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Experiences of previous generations, by the way, what did you just say about Taizu's method? Who is Taizu?" Hermione asked curiously.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled and said: "China's founding leader, Mao Zedong, said: Mobilize the masses and rely on the masses."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Yeah," Hermione nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to read his book after I go back tonight."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspIn this way, a "revolutionary line" was born unintentionally. In the evening, when the guests in the bar had almost left, Tom asked Dobby to cook a special dinner. It is worth mentioning that these are all Chinese dishes. Seeing such "magical" food, Hermione naturally wanted to try it.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Dobby, your cooking is so good, it's so delicious." Hermione said without any image as she ate.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspDobby smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Granger. These are the recipes provided by Bruce, Dobby just followed them."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp Almost all house elves are good at cooking, and Dobby is no exception. Since this condition exists, Bruce will definitely not let go of a good opportunity to make money. He told Dobby how to make some dishes he knew, and thus "Stirling Chinese Food" was born.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "It's so delicious. I've had some Chinese food in Chinatown before, but Dobby's cooking is much better than them." Hermione praised.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Of course, I'm not bragging. Dobby's skills are completely comparable to many Chinese chefs."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspDobby was very happy to be praised and said proudly: "Granger, if you like to eat Dobby's food, you can come here every day. Now the Leaky Cauldron is full Chinese food is served every day.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "No wonder the business of the Leaky Cauldron is so good now." Hermione said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom smiled and said: "Yes, thanks to Dobby and Bruce, they are indispensable for the current business. Oh, I almost forgot."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspTom stood up and came to the counter, took out a notebook and handed it to Bruce, saying: "Bruce, this is your share, I have already deposited it." Check it out in your Gringotts account."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBecause of the Chinese food, Bruce’s dividends have naturally increased a lot.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Wow, that's so much money." Hermione saw the numbers on the notebook and said in surprise: "You still cry about poverty in school, how hypocritical it is."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled bitterly: "It looks quite gratifying, but this is my entire net worth."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, Mr. Tom said: "Bruce, since you are so good at business, why don't you open a shop?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said helplessly: "I think so too, but it would be bad if I lose the money. After all, I still depend on them for my tuition and living expenses. Alas, this money It would be great if I could have children.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter dinner, Bruce and Hermione told Dobby about the "Elf Welfare Society". I was so excited that I cried when I worked hard for "liberation" and strongly requested to join in.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspDobby’s attitude was also within Bruce’s expectation, but what happened next can be described as a “turn of events.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspDobby said that after gaining freedom, he went to find some of the house elves he had known before. In fact, he had long thought about getting more companions. Freedom, but I didn't expect that those elves hated Dobby very much, and they showed strong opposition and disgust to getting the master's clothes.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAlthough they have expected this situation, the real situation is more serious, which will undoubtedly give their goals a big greeting. To be continued.
