"When do you think this pot of garlic can be harvested?" George was fertilizing and watering the pot of garlic that was growing vigorously.
“Just wait until the end of May.” Albert gently blew away the sawdust on the wooden bracelet and put it aside to compare with the runes carved on it.
"Are you going to eat raw garlic?" Lee Jordan asked with a smile as he threw some multi-flavored beans into his mouth.
"Isn't your focus wrong? You should ask Albert how he knows when the garlic can be harvested." George put down the kettle in his hand and looked at the beans in Lee Jordan's hand. He said in a malicious tone: "The one in your hand must taste like booger."
"This is soybean flavor." Li Jordan glared at George. This guy actually disgusted others in this way.
However, he still didn't eat it and threw the Beebe Every Flavour Bean back into the box.
If you want to eat it raw, I suggest you marinate the garlic in soy sauce. I heard it tastes good.
"That's enough. Stop changing the subject." George said unhappily, "Is it really the end of May?"
"Hagrid said so. He grows his own vegetables, so he must know when to harvest them." Albert looked up at George. "If you want to make a garlic cross, the garlic you brought from home should be enough!"
"You'll feel a sense of accomplishment only when you use the garlic you grow yourself!" George said seriously.
This earned him a lot of eye rolls.
"Okay, whatever you want."
"Aren't you going to throw away the pot you planted? The branches there have already withered, it's definitely not going to survive." George pointed to another pot of dill.
"Keep it for now." Albert looked up at the flowerpot and said, "When the weather warms up, I'm going to plant it again."
“Why do you grow diffusa? Are you interested?” Li Jordan couldn’t understand Albert’s way of thinking.
This guy is very knowledgeable. He has learned basically everything and is very good at every field he is involved in. What annoys him most is that this guy lives a more leisurely life than anyone else.
Sometimes, Lee Jordan was quite jealous of Albert.
"The therapeutic effect of Dictamnus is very good." Albert explained, "It has high medicinal value. In the future, if I have my own house, I will definitely plant some Dictamnus in the flower garden. Now I will accumulate some planting experience first."
In fact, Albert would not say that he thought the therapeutic effects of Dittany would be very popular among Muggles.
This kind of special thing can sometimes work miraculously.
Of course, this kind of idea is actually the inspiration that comes to Albert from time to time after he learns about economics.
He thought it was a good idea, so he took the time to learn how to plant it.
"Your way of thinking is indeed completely different from ours." George also felt that Albert's ideas were strange.
"Will it?" Albert disagreed and continued to concentrate on carving his runes.
This time, he made a wooden bracelet with a full circle of runes on it, all of which he designed himself.
Albert wasn't really sure whether it had any effect or not. He didn't feel anything special when he was carving it.
Would it be appropriate to use yew wood, the symbol of eihwaz, as the material
"Forget it, let me write it down first and see if I can find the yew tree next time." Albert thought.
"ah!"
Suddenly a scream was heard in the dormitory.
Fred, who was reading a book, suddenly jumped up from the bed and somehow threw the book in his hand away.
Albert's hand shook and the rune was carved crookedly.
Lee Jordan, who was about to carefully taste the yellow every-flavor bean, was startled and swallowed it.
George was nearly hit by the book that Fred threw, and he jumped up in shock, hitting the leg of the table. He was now jumping up and down with his hands on his knees.
"What are you crazy about?" The three of them glared at Fred and said unhappily.
"I feel... my heart hurts." Fred covered his chest and pretended to have a heart attack.
"What happened to him?" Li Jordan couldn't help but mutter, "Could he have been dumped? But I haven't heard that Fred has a girlfriend!"
"Should we send him to the school hospital?" Albert put down the carving knife in his hand and suggested, "Madam Pomfrey must not have rested yet."
"My legs hurt so much."
"Book, that book..." Fred covered his chest with one hand and pointed at the book he had just thrown away.
"What's wrong with the book?" George picked up the book and glanced at the cover. It was "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi".
"I didn't expect you would watch this thing even if you have nothing to do?"
"Turn to page 98 for the introduction to snow mushrooms." Fred said unhappily, and his tone was not like that of a patient.
"Snow mushroom?" George turned to page 98 suspiciously, still mumbling: "Let me see, yes, snow mushroom..."
"Oh, my heart hurts so much!" A few seconds later, George suddenly covered his chest and sat on the bed with a look of despair on his face.
Albert and Li George were both attracted by their reactions and were very interested in the snow mushrooms they were talking about.
Li Qiaodan opened the book curiously, took a look at it, and slowly closed it, mumbling something.
Anyway, he didn't want to say more and just stuffed the book into Albert's hands and told him to read it himself.
Albert looked at the three people, curious about what they saw, and after opening the book, he knew what was going on.
This picture... Hmm! It looks a bit like the matsutake mushrooms they ate a while ago.
Last time, he felt strange that it was snowing heavily in February, but how could he find Matsutake mushrooms
"Snow mushroom, also known as cedar mushroom..." Albert quickly read the introduction about snow mushroom and his face twitched. No wonder they had that expression.
It only grows in the snowy winter and has high medicinal value...
Putting aside other things, just 1 ounce of cedar mushroom powder is worth 50 galleons. No wonder they feel bad about it.
"That's definitely the most expensive thing we've ever eaten." Fred covered his chest and complained, "Albert, you're such a loser. You actually roasted and ate snow mushrooms like this."
"If we sell it, we can get a lot of money!" George agreed.
"What do you think? Should we go dig snow mushrooms? We can make a fortune in the future!" Li Qiaodan suddenly suggested.
"That's a good idea." The twins' eyes flashed with the golden light of Garlon.
"Is this... Are you crazy about money?" Albert's mouth twitched.
In fact, he was not unable to understand why they had such an idea, but he poured cold water on the three people and said, "Forget it. We walked around and only found a little bit. Besides, snow mushrooms are not easy to preserve. Unless you know how to process it into powder, it will be useless to dig it up. If it is kept for a long time, the snow mushrooms will lose their medicinal effects and will be worthless."
"But… "
"Nothing to worry about."
"It is undeniable that the Forbidden Forest does have a lot of good things. After all, it is still a primeval forest and has never been mined. But I still need to remind you that even if we get the snow mushrooms now, we have nowhere to sell them." Albert stared into the eyes of the three people and reminded them seriously: "Who do you expect to trade with? Others know that you are just a child. Will they trade with you fairly? They are not your father. Any guarantee is nothing more than a trick to deceive children."
"Aren't you moved at all?" George couldn't help asking.
"Of course, but I know what I have to do, and I don't think there are many snow mushrooms there, and... you have to understand that snow mushrooms are non-tradable goods, and they are not so easy to get rid of."
“There are two types of prohibited trade items. One is extremely valuable or extremely dangerous, so the Ministry of Magic will strictly prohibit their trade.
If you want to trade, you can only sell it on the black market. If a kid wants to get benefits from the black market, just forget it, right
