Chapter 29 A Happy Christmas Dinner

Whether in terms of publicity or profit, Adam had no reason to refuse Professor Dumbledore's order.

So the students who came through various publicity channels in the afternoon saw that only a large box with the top hollowed out was left in the place of the legendary small shop. The menu on the wall was still there, but there were too many made a notice.

In addition to an explanation of the situation, the notice also included a line of tips:

"Students who came to the store but were empty-handed can pick up a number slip in the box. There will be a mysterious surprise at the dinner, so stay tuned?"

Harry and Ron, who didn't get out of bed in the morning and only tasted the sweetness of Seamus Finnigan's in the afternoon, came here admiringly and stared at this line of words with some curiosity:

"What do you think it would be?"

"Maybe something like a colorful firecracker?"

The colorful firecrackers only appeared on the Hogwarts dining table today. When they are opened, they will be accompanied by explosion sounds and colorful smoke, and some small toys will be spit out. It is indeed a surprise.

"But if that's the case, there shouldn't be any need to write an extra sentence?"

No matter what, Harry and Ron each took a number slip from the box.

Ron wanted to get a few more to try, but it was a pity that he almost fell into the box and couldn't touch the second one.

Amid everyone's expectations, the Christmas dinner started as scheduled. The doors of the auditorium, which had been closed at Adam's request, slowly opened, revealing everything in the auditorium to everyone:

The smell of honey, caramel, fruit...the refreshing sweet fragrance floated in the sky above the auditorium. The dishes on the table were different from any previous dinners, making every student who walked into the auditorium couldn't help but swallow. saliva.

"I actually put flowers on the table."

A Ravenclaw girl came close to a rose and smelled it. What she smelled was not only the fragrance of flowers but also the sweet fragrance. She couldn't help but be stunned:

"This smell...isn't this a flower?"

"How is that possible? It seems obvious..."

Just as her friend was about to say something, she saw her reach out, pluck the flower and stuff it into her mouth.

"you--?!"

"It's really not flowers, it's pastries!"

The whole flower has a soft taste that almost melts in your mouth. The rich rose aroma and light sweetness spread between the lips and teeth, making people unable to help but be intoxicated.

When her friend saw this, he doubtfully picked a flower and stuffed it into his mouth. Roses were not poisonous anyway, so there was no harm in trying it. As a result, he quickly indulged in the delicious pastry.

After a long time, the Ravenclaw opened his eyes and looked suspiciously at the things on the table that didn't look like food, such as the unlit candlestick...

"This is chocolate!"

—from some Gryffindor who actually chewed a candlestick.

"This is cake!"

—from some Slytherin who ate a little snowman.

"This is candy!!!"

——From a certain Gryffindor who chewed a small Christmas tree in disbelief.

"Here are the cookies!"

—from a certain Hufflepuff nibbling on a mistletoe branch.

"Ouch!!! This is the table!"

——Comes from a certain Gryffindor who confidently took a bite of the table after being fooled by his brother.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that all the decorations on the table were almost eaten, Professor Dumbledore quickly tapped the goblet with his spoon to attract the students' attention:

"I believe everyone has discovered 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 gestured to everyone.

"Before the dinner begins, I have to say one more thing: Although Adam has done a lot of ingenuity in the decoration tonight, I still hope everyone can focus more on the food."

Professor Dumbledore said and looked towards the Gryffindor table.

Adam looked over and saw two identical boys silently putting a branch back under the table.

They are exactly the same, they are still Gryffindor, and with their 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?

etc……

Adam looked back at the big Christmas trees in the auditorium, and sure enough he found a break in one of them.

"Especially don't mess with the decorations that aren't on the table, they can't eat that, I can assure you."

Professor Dumbledore added.

A dinner party allowed all the little wizards who stayed at 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 happy, and the students were okay. They had spent countless Christmases at Hogwarts, and this year's Christmas was quite novel to them, which made them have a great appetite.

Adam saw with his own eyes: Professor McGonagall alone dazzled half of the stewed fish soup on the teacher's bench, and Hagrid chewed off six of each person's elbows, so that Adam had to notify the family's children. The elf will give the teacher a few more...

Professor Dumbledore was also very happy. The professors carefully prepared the layout of the auditorium, but it didn't matter that only a few people came. But Adam did nothing wrong. Although there was no precedent, Hogwarts did not allow students to be on campus. School rules for normal business operations.

Now this can be said to be a win-win situation. The school dinner went much more smoothly than expected, and the students' business was booming. Although he spent a little more money, it was the school board's money, and he didn't feel bad spending it at all.

As for Adam... he was probably the happiest.

Although the young wizards who stayed in Hogwarts only accounted for a small part of all the students, they were scattered widely enough, and with every professor, each of these people had tried every product in his store. What kind of advertising effect was this?

He even thoughtfully changed the pattern on each food container into the name of the corresponding food, so that everyone could remember their favorite food and buy it next time they came to the store.

As for the price... not only did he not spend a penny, but he also made a lot of money. He was simply a winner.

Back in the dormitory, even Uther couldn't help but be curious:

"How much did you make from the dinner tonight?"

"Hehe~ a little bit, just a little bit~"

Adam made a "little bit" gesture with his index finger and thumb.

"It looks like a lot of money, but you really deserve it."

Cologne touched his bulging belly and nestled comfortably in the sofa:

"Adam, you must open a store immediately after graduation. 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.

"Okay, 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 the two people's words, Eugene said:

"If you want to open a store, I think Diagon Alley is more suitable. Although the store there is more expensive, the flow of people is larger. The store can be rented first."

"Actually, I prefer Hogsmeade."

Adam shook his head:

"The stores in Diagon Alley are too close together, which does not match the restaurant I expected."

"You want to open a 'Black Swan' in the wizarding world?"

Bernard was surprised. Black Swan is 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."
