As soon as you walk into the Bee Duke Candy Store, you will be greeted by the aroma of butterscotch. Looking around, you will see many shelves in the candy store, with all kinds of candies and snacks on them.
Albert recognized several types at a glance. The large jars in front contained cream peanut candy, toffee and nougat.
There were some green lollipops neatly hung next to the shelf. Albert picked one up and was about to check the introduction next to it when a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch this. This is a sour popping candy, very sour." George put a hand on Albert's shoulder, pointed to the product introduction and explained: "Fred bought one for Ron, our brother, and it burned a hole in his tongue. Mom beat Fred with a broomstick because of it."
Fred glared at his twin brother and protested, "You bought that sour pop candy."
"I didn't ask you to give it to Ron." George looked innocent.
Looking at the unrepentant twin brothers, Albert quietly put the sour pop candy back on the shelf.
It can actually burn through a person’s tongue. This thing must actually be made of sulfuric acid!
"What is this?"
In the corner of the wall to the left of the entrance, there are little mice of various colors hanging. They are crawling on the plastic boards on the wall, looking like real little mice.
"This is Ice Mouse." Li Jordan introduced it to Albert. "If you eat it, you will feel very cold, so cold that your teeth will chatter. After you finish eating the candy, there will be a crunching sound in your stomach. Oh, it's a bit like Zuko's squeaky gummy candy."
"Interesting candies." Albert withdrew his gaze from the ice mouse and walked to the shelf on the right, where there was a large bucket of multi-flavored beans of various colors, and a large plastic bucket next to it contained gummy candies of various flavors. The shelf further away was filled with various chocolates neatly arranged.
Albert took two boxes of chocolate frogs and set his eyes on the big pieces of chocolate. He bought them once on the train last time and they tasted better than chocolate frogs.
Oh, and some chocolate chips too.
Albert walked up to the counter with a variety of chocolate items.
A smiling woman behind the counter said, "That's four Sickles and ten nuthas."
"Oh, ma'am, we meet again!" Albert looked at the salesperson on the train in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party was the proprietress of Bee Duke
"It's you! Honey, do you need any more candy?" The woman also recognized Albert. After all, it's rare to see a customer who buys all the items on the cart.
"Any recommendations?" Albert thought to himself. No wonder he could see so many candies sold on trains here.
"Exploding gummy candy. This candy is very popular among students. It will explode slightly when you bite it. Of course, it won't hurt anyone." The woman poured out an exploding gummy candy from the jar and handed it to Albert.
"Try?"
She never hesitates to smile and serve potential customers. Of course, this depends on the Galleons in the other party's pocket.
Albert took the exploding soft candy, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and the strawberry-flavored filling overflowed from the soft candy. The next moment, a slight explosion sounded near his mouth, and people who didn't know would probably be startled.
This should be classified as a joke prop, but the taste of the gummy candy is pretty good.
After Albert bought some exploding gummies, the owner of the store became more enthusiastic. She helped Albert put the exploding gummies into paper bags and began to introduce the various candies and desserts in the store.
"Jelly slug candy, you may have eaten it, it is one of the hot-selling products in our store."
Albert looked at the long slug-shaped gummy candy and raised his eyebrows slightly. It was more like a jelly snake than a jelly slug candy. However, he didn't like gummy candy, so he didn't plan to buy it. The thought of a slug was a bit disgusting.
There are also various candies and desserts in the candy store, the more famous ones are pot-shaped cakes, chocolate balls, fizzing bee candies, lollipop quills... The various candies in the store dazzled the four people.
"Is this... a cockroach?" Albert looked at the black bugs crawling in the glass jar and felt a little uncomfortable. Next to the glass jar, there were some cockroaches on a string, and their legs were 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 candies in this shape."
I guess only Dumbledore would like this thing!
"Have you eaten it?" Albert asked, tilting his head, and the three of them shook their heads.
The woman winked at Albert and said, "Here we have fudge flies that burst in your mouth when you eat them, and bloody lollipops that are very popular with most vampires."
"If you want to play a prank on someone, I recommend the Pepper Boy. After eating it, your mouth will feel so spicy that it will spit fire..."
They stayed in the Bee Duke Candy Store for at least half an hour. Before leaving, the proprietress enthusiastically handed Albert a shopping list and winked at him, saying, "If you want to buy candy, you can use owl mail. It's best not to sneak out by yourself."
When he left the candy store, Albert had another paper bag in his hand, which contained the pineapple candied fruit he bought from the candy store, for which he paid 10 Sickles.
"This stuff is pretty good." Albert took a bite of the candied pineapple.
"I always feel that the boss lady is particularly enthusiastic towards you." Li Jordan said a little jealously. From beginning to end, the boss lady of the Duke of Bees was very enthusiastic in entertaining Albert.
The twins nodded in agreement with Li Jordan's words, and at this moment, their mouths were also filled with candied pineapple.
"She's only enthusiastic about Garlon, not about me." Albert looked at the expression on Li Jordan's face and felt a little funny.
In addition to the bag of candied pineapple, Albert also bought a lot of things in the store. The thoughtful proprietress said that she would help Albert mail the items to Hogwarts so that he would not be unable to carry so many things.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the four returned to the castle. After wandering around Hogsmeade for a few hours, all four were very tired, but they all thought it was an interesting trip to Hogsmeade.
"Where have you been?" Percy Weasley sat down next to the four people, 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 would not tell others that they were going to Hogsmeade, otherwise Percy would write home.
The proprietress of Bee Duke was very efficient. Not long after Albert returned to the auditorium, an 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 called on the three of them to help carry the package back to the Gryffindor common room.
Looking at the four people's leaving backs, Percy's eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
