Experience told him that food from China with odd names would often be a pleasant surprise, but just in case, Cedric ordered two that looked more normal:
"Another serving of mung bean cake and another serving of sesame rice dumplings."
"Okay, eat the Heart Too Soft and Eight Treasure Rice Pudding while they are hot, and be careful not to spill the sesame dumplings—"
Adam opened the dining car that had been extended and spliced with a magic wheel. He quickly packed Cedric's food and gave him a large cup of Pu'er tea to help him get rid of the greasiness.
In fact, the British don't seem to need anything to relieve their greasiness. The amount of sugar they add to their desserts on a daily basis is completely lethal in Adam's eyes. The ones he bought are all low-sugar versions for them.
Cedric paid and took it and started eating right away, starting with the amber nuts that weren't steaming yet. He ate as he walked. The Hufflepuff who was standing behind him and hadn't made up his mind yet but also hadn't had breakfast swallowed his saliva:
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
"Give me the same one as Cedric's!"
The shop was doing a booming business. In addition to Hufflepuff, many people from the other three houses were attracted and bought a little to try out the new products.
This was enough for Adam.
"No wonder the auditorium is so deserted this morning. It turns out everyone is here to enjoy the food."
Adam, who was cleaning up the dining car, looked up and saw Professor Dumbledore standing in front of the dining car with a smile on his face:
"I wonder if I'm too late?"
"Of course not, Professor, what do you want?"
Adam pointed to the menus on both walls.
Professor Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at the menu on the wall.
Since he wanted to expand the business and no longer just do small-scale business within the college, Adam would certainly not continue to use ingredients from the Hogwarts kitchen, and the pricing was adjusted to a relatively reasonable price.
Professor Dumbledore came after breakfast. After ordering three snacks, he sighed:
"I wish I had known that before breakfast."
The sweet fragrance all around was so tempting to him.
Professor Dumbledore took the packaged dessert and left. Adam didn't take it too seriously, after all, it was not the first time that Professor Dumbledore came to the store. But he didn't expect that Professor Dumbledore would come again not long after.
Professor Dumbledore was holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand, his face filled with happiness:
"I wonder if you can take the order from the school and prepare a Christmas Eve buffet for Hogwarts?"
An order from Hogwarts?!
While Adam was still surprised, Professor Dumbledore continued:
"Of course, you may not prepare so much food, but the Hogwarts kitchen and house elves can help you, and the price is still calculated according to your menu."
Professor Dumbledore winked mischievously.
"It's the school board that pays for it anyway."
Chapter 29 A Happy Christmas Dinner
Whether in terms of publicity or profit, Adam had no reason to refuse Professor Dumbledore's order.
So in the afternoon, the students who had heard about the store through various channels saw that the legendary store was now occupied by a large box with a hollowed-out top. The menu on the wall was still there, but with an extra notice.
In addition to explaining the situation, the notice also included a line of tips:
"Those who came to the store but found it empty can pick up a number from the box. There will be a mysterious surprise at the dinner, so stay tuned."
Harry and Ron, who hadn't gotten up in the morning and had just tasted the sweetness of Seamus Finnigan's in the afternoon, came here curiously, staring at the words:
"What do you think that would be?"
"Maybe something like a lottery ticket?"
Colored firecrackers have only just appeared on the Hogwarts dining table today. When pulled open, they are accompanied by explosion sounds and colored smoke, and some small toys are spit out, which is indeed a surprise.
"But if that's the case, there shouldn't be an extra sentence?"
In any case, Harry and Ron each took a number paper from the box.
Ron wanted to try a few more, but unfortunately he almost fell into the box and didn't get the second one.
Amid everyone's anticipation, the Christmas dinner began as scheduled. The doors of the auditorium that had been closed at Adam's request slowly opened, revealing everything inside the auditorium to everyone:
The smell of honey, caramel, and fruit... the refreshing sweet aroma floated in the air above the auditorium. The dishes on the table were different from any previous dinners, making every student who walked into the auditorium swallow their saliva.
"There are even flowers on the table."
A Ravenclaw girl approached a rose and smelled it. She smelled not only the fragrance of flowers but also sweetness. She couldn't help but be stunned:
"This smell... isn't this a flower?"
"How is that possible? It clearly looks like..."
Her friend was about to say something when she saw her reach out and pick the flower and put it in her mouth.
"you--?!"
“It’s really not a flower, it’s a pastry!”
The whole flower has a soft taste and almost melts in your mouth. The rich rose aroma and light sweetness spread between your lips and teeth, making you intoxicated by it.
Seeing this, her friend skeptically picked a flower and put it in her mouth. Roses were not poisonous anyway, so there was no harm in trying it. As a result, she quickly indulged in the delicious pastry.
After a long while, the Ravenclaw finally opened his eyes and looked suspiciously at the things on the table that did not look like food, such as the unlit candlestick...
“It’s chocolate!”
—From a Gryffindor who actually took a bite of a candlestick.
“It’s cake!”
—From a Slytherin who ate a snowman.
“It’s candy!!!”
—From a Gryffindor who took a bite of a small Christmas tree out of disbelief.
“It’s a cookie!”
—from a Hufflepuff who nibbled on a sprig of mistletoe.
"Ouch!!! It's a table!"
——From a Gryffindor who confidently took a bite of the table after being fooled by his brother.
"Cough cough!"
Seeing that the decorations on the table were almost eaten up, Professor Dumbledore quickly tapped the goblet with a spoon to attract the students' attention:
"I believe everyone has noticed that our dinner today is different from the past. There are many new and delicious foods. This is all thanks to our Mr. Adam Reed——"
Adam stood up and motioned to everyone.
"Before the dinner begins, I have to say one more thing: Although Adam has put a lot of thought into the decorations tonight, I still hope that everyone can focus more on the food."
Professor Dumbledore said, looking towards the Gryffindor table.
Adam looked over there and saw two identical boys silently putting a branch back under the table.
Exactly the same, still Gryffindor, and with an appearance similar to that in the movie, they are obviously the Weasley twins.
But he didn't remember turning such a big Christmas tree into food. Where did the twins get it?
and many more……
Adam looked back at the big Christmas trees in the auditorium and found a broken piece on one of them.
"Especially don't destroy the decorations that are not on the table. They can't be eaten, I can assure you."
Professor Dumbledore added.
A dinner party allowed all the young wizards who stayed in Hogwarts for Christmas to experience the sweets from Adam's Shop. These delicious and novel foods left a deep impression on them.
The professors were all happy and the students were fine. They had spent countless Christmases at Hogwarts, so this year's Christmas was quite new to them, and their appetites had been whetted.
Adam saw it with his own eyes: Professor McGonagall ate half of the white fish soup on the teacher's table, and Hagrid ate six elbows of pork that were given to each teacher, so that Adam had to notify the house elves to put a few more portions on the teacher's table...
Professor Dumbledore was also very happy. The professors had carefully prepared the decoration of the auditorium, but in the end, not many people came. However, Adam did nothing wrong. Although there was no precedent, Hogwarts did not have any school rules that prohibited students from operating normally on campus.
Now it can be said to be a win-win situation. The school dinner went much more smoothly than expected, and the students' business is booming. Although it cost a little more money, it was the board of directors' money, and he didn't feel bad about spending it.
As for Adam…he was probably the happiest.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Although the young wizards who stay in Hogwarts only account for a small part of all students, they are dispersed widely enough. Together with every professor, each of these people has tried every product in his or her own store. What kind of advertising effect is this?
He even thoughtfully changed the patterns on each food container into the corresponding name of the food, so that everyone can remember their favorite food and buy it next time they visit the store.
As for the cost... not only did he not spend a penny, he actually made a huge profit. He was simply overwhelmed by the win.
Back in the dormitory, even Uther couldn't help but be curious:
"How much did you make from tonight's dinner?"
"Hehe~ Just a little bit, just a little bit~"
Adam made a "a little bit" gesture with his index finger and thumb.
"It seems like a lot of money, but you really should make this money."
Cologne touched his bulging belly and nestled comfortably on the sofa:
"Adam, you must open a shop as soon as you graduate. Why not open it in Hogsmeade? It only costs more than 50,000 Galleons to buy a store there." The most important thing is that it is next to his house.
"Great, then I can try to develop dishes made with magical animals and purchase them directly from your house."
"Sure! I'll give you a discount!"
Listening to what the two said, Eugene said:
"If you want to open a store, I think Diagon Alley is more suitable. Although the store space there is more expensive, the flow of people is greater. You can rent a store there at the beginning."
"Actually, I like Hogsmeade better."
Adam shook his head.
"The shops in Diagon Alley are too close together, which doesn't fit my idea of a restaurant."
"You want to open a 'Black Swan' in the wizarding world?"
Bernard was surprised that Black Swan was the name of Mr. Reed's French restaurant.
"The name definitely won't be Black Swan. I haven't decided on it yet. The decoration will definitely have to fit in with the style of the wizarding world, but it's something like that."
Chapter 30 Precious Gift
When Adam woke up the next morning, the first thing he saw was Cologne writing furiously on the round table.
"What time did you get up?"
Adam stretched.
"Ahem, I didn't sleep last night. I wrote all night long."
Cologne coughed a little embarrassedly.
I had so much fun before and now it’s the last day. I was so nervous lying in bed last night. After tossing and turning, I finally got up, picked up my homework and started writing.
Adam was used to his habit of leaving homework until last minute, and looked under the Christmas tree:
"Did you open your presents?"
"Not yet. I plan to open the presents as a reward for finishing my homework... Ahaha~"
Colon said and yawned.
It was not the first time that he had stayed up all night to finish his homework. Adam shook his head and ignored him, then walked under the Christmas tree to find his own gift.
"Tear mine down first!"
"it is good."
