Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 35: Passionate Galleon
As soon as I entered the Honeydukes candy store, I was greeted by the smell of butterscotch. Looking around, there are many shelves in the candy store, and there are all kinds of candy desserts on the shelves.
Albert recognized several types at a glance. The large jars in front of them contained butter peanut candy, toffee and nougat.
There were also some green lollipops neatly hanging next to the shelf. Albert picked one up and was about to check the introduction next to him when a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch this. This is a sour popping candy. It's very sour." George put a hand on Albert's shoulder, pointed to the product introduction and explained: "Fred used to give Ron, our brother, bought one, and he burned a hole in his tongue, and Mom beat Fred with a broom for it."
Fred glared at his twin brother in dissatisfaction, protesting: "You bought that sour popping candy."
"I didn't let you give it to Ron." George looked innocent.
Watching the unrepentant twins, Albert quietly put the sour pops back on the shelf.
It can actually burn people's tongues through. This thing is actually made of sulfuric acid!
"What is this?"
In the corner of the wall to the left when you enter the door, there are small mice of various colors hanging on the plastic board on the wall, like live little mice.
"This is an ice mouse." Lee Jordan introduced to Albert: "If you eat it, you will feel very cold, so cold that your teeth will fight, and after eating the candy, there will be a crunch in your stomach. The sound, yes, a bit like Joko's squeaky fudge."
"Interesting candy." Albert looked away from the ice mouse and walked to the shelf on the right. There was a large bucket of multi-flavored beans of various colors, and the plastic bucket next to it was filled with various flavors of fudge. Further past shelves are neatly arranged with a variety of chocolates.
Albert took two boxes of Chocolate Frogs and set his sights on the large piece of chocolate. He bought it once on the train last time, and it tasted better than Chocolate Frogs.
Well, yes, and some chocolate chips.
Albert walks to the counter with a variety of chocolate merchandise.
Behind the counter, a smiling woman said, "A total of 4 sicos and 10 nts."
"Oh, ma'am, we meet again!" Albert looked at the train's salesman in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party was actually the lady boss of Honey Duke?
"It's you! Honey, do you need any other candy?" The woman also recognized Albert. After all, it’s rare for a customer to buy all the items on the cart.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Albert said, no wonder you can see a lot of candy on the train here.
"Exploding gummy candy. This candy is very popular with students. It will explode slightly when you bite it. Of course, it won't hurt anyone." The woman poured out an exploding gummy candy and handed it to to Albert.
"Try it?"
For potential client groups, she never stings with smile and service. Of course, this has something to do with the Kanon in the opponent's pocket.
Albert took the exploding fondant and took a bite. Strawberry-flavored filling overflowed from the fondant. The next moment, there was a slight explosion from the mouth, and those who didn't know would probably be startled.
This should belong to the category of joke props, but the taste of the fudge is not bad.
After Albert bought some exploding fondant, the proprietress in the store became more enthusiastic. She helped Albert put the exploding fondant into a paper bag and began to introduce the store's Various sweets and desserts.
"Jelly slug candy, you may have eaten it, this is one of our best sellers."
Albert looked at the long slug-shaped gummy, and raised his eyebrows slightly. It was more appropriate to say that it was a jelly snake than a jelly slug. However, he didn't like gummy candies, so he didn't plan to buy them. The thought of slugs was a little disgusting.
There are all kinds of candies and desserts in the candy store. The more famous pan cakes, chocolate balls, zizi honey candies, lollipop quills... There are all kinds of candies in the store. Dazzled.
"This is... a cockroach?" Albert looked at the black bugs crawling in the glass jar and felt a little uncomfortable. Beside the glass jar, there are some skewers of cockroaches, their legs are still shaking slightly.
"This is a cockroach pile," the woman introduced. "One of the candies that Headmaster Dumbledore often buys from us. Of course, not everyone can accept this shape of candy."
It is estimated that Dumbledore would like this stuff!
"Have you eaten?" Albert asked, and the three shook their heads in unison.
The woman winked at Albert and said, "There are fudge flies, which burst into the mouth when eaten, and **** lollipops, which are very popular with most vampires."
"If you are abusive to others, I recommend the pepper urchin. After eating it, your mouth will be hot and spit fire..."
They spent at least half an hour in the Honey Duke candy store. Before leaving, the proprietress enthusiastically shoved Albert a shopping list from the store, winked at him, and said, "If you want If you want to buy candy, you can use owl mail, it is best not to slip out by yourself~IndoMTL.com~ When leaving the candy store, Albert has another paper bag in his hand, which contains the candied pineapple he bought from the candy store. For this he paid 10 xikes.
"This stuff is not bad." Albert took a bite of the candied pineapple.
"I always felt that the lady boss was very warm to you." Lee Jordan said with a bit of jealousy. From the beginning to the end, the lady boss of Honey Duke warmly entertained Albert.
The twins also nodded in agreement with Lee Jordan's words, and their mouths were now full of candied pineapples.
"She's just passionate about Galleon, not me." Albert looked at the expression on Lee Jordan's face, feeling a little amused.
In addition to this bag of pineapple preserves, Albert also bought a lot of things in the store. The thoughtful proprietress said that she would help Albert by mailing the items to Hogwarts, so that he would not be able to get so many things.
When the four returned to the castle, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. After walking around Hogsmeade for a few hours, all four of them were very tired, but they all thought it was an interesting trip to Hogsmeade. trip.
"Where have you been?" Percy Weasley sat down beside the four, staring at the paper bag in front of them, frowning slightly.
"It's a secret!"
The twins looked at each other and smiled mysteriously. Of course they wouldn't say they were going to Hogsmeade, or Percy wouldn't have written home.
The lady boss Honey Duke is very efficient. Not long after Albert returned to the auditorium, the owl helped deliver the package.
"I think we'd better go back to the common room." Albert noticed that the package attracted the attention of others, so he greeted the three of them and helped carry the package back to Gryffindor's lounge.
Looking at the backs of the four leaving, Percy's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
