Hogwarts Crawler.

"what!"

The two young wizards were startled and ran away quickly. Before leaving, they did not forget to remind Adam:

"He is Ambrosio Frum, the manager of Honeydukes Candy Store!"

Adam raised his eyebrows, looked at Ambrosio and nodded:

"Yes, I am Adam."

There are actually quite a few people named Adam, but they all know who they are talking about.

“I heard you were selling candy too.”

Ambrosio spoke gruffly, walked up to Adam, then turned to look at his shelf:

"What do you think of the candy in my store?"

“To be honest, it tastes pretty good…”

Adam glanced around and saw several familiar candies:

“I love your coconut ice cream.”

Upon hearing this, Ambrosio reached out and took a box of coconut ice cream and handed it to Adam:

"For you."

Adam held the box of coconut ice cream in a daze for a few seconds.

"Um...should we still go up and help?"

Bernard silently put the half-pulled wand back into his inner pocket and whispered to Uther beside him.

"Hmm... let's take a look."

Uther narrowed his eyes at Ambrosio and answered in a low voice.

Chapter 110 I want it all!

When they saw Ambrosio, Bernard and the others were already ready to attack. If the other party planned to take action, four spells would attack from behind.

But in the end, Ambrosio's move made it impossible for them to do it.

"This is……?"

Adam looked at Ambrosio with some surprise.

What does this mean, courtesy before force?

"Honeydukes Candy Store will be closing soon."

Ambrosio did not answer Adam's question, but said this in a somewhat lonely tone.

Adam didn't say anything, but waited silently for the other party's next words. Ambrosio couldn't have said this because he thought Adam was a student and would be soft-hearted, so he asked him to let them go.

"I have asked many regular customers why they chose your candies over mine, and their answers were surprisingly consistent - because the candies you make are more delicious."

Ambrosio paused, then continued:

"But when I asked them what was wrong with my candies, they couldn't tell me... but they just didn't taste good enough."

From Ambrosio's words, Adam suddenly understood a little bit of what he wanted to express.

It is obvious that the other party does not simply regard making candy as a way to make money, but has a certain passion for candy and can gain a great sense of accomplishment from making and selling candy to everyone.

As Adam's store continued to encroach on his customer base, what he was most concerned about was not the sharp drop in income, but why people didn't choose his candy and what was the difference between his candy and his candy?

But when he actually investigated, the results left him a little confused.

Taste? Mouthfeel? I can't say what's wrong with it, but the customer's response is that it's not tasty enough.

"There's nothing wrong with it, but it just doesn't taste good." This is probably the biggest blow to a pastry chef or even a chef, not to mention that Ambrosio is a chef who loves his career very much and regards it as his ideal.

You have to know that Adam's current market is only within Hogwarts, while Honeydukes' customers include the entire British wizarding world. The impact caused by Adam is not even a serious blow to Honeydukes, but the company still decided to close down...

Obviously, his ideals were severely hit, so much so that he was even willing to give up this career.

Adam looked at Ambrosio again. Well, he admitted that he had some stereotypes about this bald man with a lot of flesh at first, but now it seems that he is quite cute.

"Now that I've really seen you, Adam, I wonder...what's wrong with my candy?"

Ambrosio couldn't help but look at Adam in confusion, and before Adam could speak, he said:

"Ah, forget it. For something like this involving commercial secrets, just pretend I didn't ask..."

"It's not actually a commercial secret."

Adam shook his head.

"Actually, what I make isn't anything very mysterious. They're basically created by Muggle chefs."

"…Muggle chef?"

Ambrosio was a little stunned after getting this answer.

“Wizards always underestimate the power of Muggles, but they don’t know that the biggest difference between humans and other creatures is not magic, but brains and creativity.”

Adam opened the box in his hand, took out a piece of coconut ice cream and took a bite:

"You are so obsessed with those magical effects that your understanding of taste only stays on hard candy, soft candy, and whether to add fruits or spices. In contrast, Muggle chefs have no magic, but their creativity makes their works far more colorful than those of wizards."

Adam took out another coconut ice cream. The pink, shimmering pastry turned snow-white as it passed through Adam's hands:

"Try it?"

Ambrosio took it and took a bite, then couldn't help but stand there in a daze, his eyes blank.

The crispy roasted coconut on the outside, the soft glutinous rice in the middle, and the cold coconut ice cream on the inside bring rich taste layers. The not-so-sweet taste complements the refreshing coconut fragrance.

"Is it tasty?"

"……tasty!"

Ambrosio finished the coconut-flavored snow meringue in a few bites and couldn't help but sigh:

"If you let me choose, I also prefer the candies you make. It turns out that I have been taking the wrong path all these years..."

"It's not wrong. After all, as long as the candy tastes good, everyone would like the candy to have some weird effects. However, these effects can only be a bonus, or a harmless embellishment, and cannot become an obstacle to the taste."

Adam looked at Ambrosio who was lost in thought, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind:

"You said Honeydukes is closing, have you thought about what you're going to do next?"

"Oh? I originally planned to travel with my wife to visit wizard gathering places in other countries to improve our candy-making skills. I have saved a lot of money over the years... When I think my skills have made a new breakthrough, I will reopen Honeydukes Candy Store."

Ambrosio glanced at his fingers which were still stained with coconut flakes:

"But now, I think I'll go to the Muggle cities and try some sweets made by Muggle chefs?"

"Well...actually, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are interested."

Adam looked around:

"I actually plan to buy a store in Hogsmeade after graduation."

"What……"

Ambrosio was startled.

"So, you're interested in this store? I don't have any objection to that..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"No no no~"

Adam stretched out his finger and shook it:

“What I’m trying to say is, are you interested in working in my shop?”

I'm not only interested in your store, I also want you, your wife, and the customer base and influence that Honeydukes Candy Store has accumulated over the years!

Ambrosio frowned and was about to speak when he heard Adam say:

"Don't be so quick to refuse. Don't you want to know how my desserts are made?"

"..."

Hearing this, Ambrosio swallowed the refusal that was about to come out of his mouth.

"Besides, even if you go to their house to learn the recipes, they may not teach you. How much time do you have to learn?"

There was obvious hesitation in Ambrosio's eyes.

"Being my employee, I can teach you things that you may not be able to learn even if you travel around the world~"

"Why did you do that?"

Ambrosio couldn't help but speak.

"You can definitely complete the production and sales of candy by yourself. There is no need to recruit us...a pair of defeated opponents."

Adam raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

In case you have any questions, Adam's mother in his previous life had a famous saying: Customers who ask questions are the ones who really intend to spend money, and those who just say "hmm hmm" to everything you say are just looking around.

So Adam's talent in business can be said to be inherited from his family X2.

"I don't think we are in direct competition, Mr. Froome. After all, our goal is to make our customers happy and satisfied."

Adam smiled and held out his hand to Ambrosio, silently reinforcing the effect of the Love Card.

The halo that reduces intelligence...ah no, the technique of deceiving people, activates!

Chapter 111 Dream Dessert Workshop

“Although I have achieved some success in running the dessert shop, in fact it is only a part of my plan.”

Adam talked about his business plan.

"In this case, I will definitely not have enough energy to spend on running the dessert shop. Currently, my shop in Hogwarts has been handed over to my friends to run..."

Adam raised his hand and gestured to the four people behind Ambrosio.

Although the four of them couldn't hear the conversation between Adam and Ambrosio, they knew from the atmosphere between them that the situation was probably not that tense, so they quickly put away their wands before Ambrosio turned around, and when Ambrosio turned around, they showed a friendly smile from Badger Court.

"It is foreseeable that I will need someone to help me run the dessert shop business in the future. My friends all have their own futures. In comparison, I would rather find someone who shares the same ideals as me to run my shop for me and bring happiness to more customers."

Although the person in front of him was only a third-year student, Ambrosio still fell into serious thought.

While waiting, Adam was also reviewing his business plan, which he had updated countless times, in his mind.

There are many fields he wants to try in the future, including at least two stores, a formal restaurant and a dessert store. After all, a restaurant can have desserts but it is impossible to sell candy together.

Besides that, Adam also wanted to try his hand at a cinema and a clothing store, and then the business of potion materials and potions, as well as the magical animal park he had long thought about. If possible, he even wanted to get involved in real estate...

Although he has no experience in these industries, he has sufficient funds and risk-taking ability. It's okay to give it a try, and if he fails, he fails.

As for other resistance, Adam, who comes from the black side, will let the other side see who is more black, and as for the white side... Adam couldn't help but think of Eugene and Bernard in his mind.

These two guys had no plans for the future anyway. Adam originally wanted to hire them as store managers, but after thinking about it, it seemed like a waste of their talents.

How about we wait until we get back and ask them who is interested in being the Minister of Magic?

"I...can't make the decision completely by myself. I need to think it over with my wife."

In the end, Ambrosio still did not give a definite answer, but the answer itself represented a certain tendency.

"No problem, how about we discuss the sale of this store first?"

Adam suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a secret passage in the cellar of this store connecting to Hogwarts, so buying it would be a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

"no problem!"

Ambrosio agreed to this matter very readily. After all, the sale of the shop was already decided, and selling it to Adam was definitely more cost-effective than selling it to Gringotts or handing it over to other intermediaries and letting them take a commission.

As a prosperous shop, Honeydukes Candy Store has an excellent geographical location. The store is large and has a huge cellar that can be used as a warehouse. The original price was 200 million Galleons. In the end, Ambrosio offered to sell it to Adam at a discount of 170 million Galleons, including the inventory in the warehouse.

The discount was given so that Adam could sell the candies immediately. As for the inventory, it did not actually affect the price, mainly because Ambrosio did not think that Adam would need those candies.

The two completed the handover in the cellar on the spot. Ambrosio's expression was quite interesting when he saw Adam take out a full 170 million Galleons from his bag.
