Chapter 18 A certain magical fully automatic hot pot

"It turns out that this is the secret of the wall." Williamson leaned closer to his head and studied the rune carefully. "It's a portal magic, so that's it!"

"Actually, I also thought about this question when I was very young. If the wall is broken, can I still enter Diagon Alley?"

"Now it seems that as long as the rune is not destroyed, it will not be a problem to replace it with other things to block it."

Williamson picked up his wand and clicked on the rune, and the blue mask began to spin, converging into an imaginary archway, beyond which was the wide cobbled aisle.

He patted the dull old Tom lightly, "The function is still normal, you can see if it can be repaired with a restoration spell, we have to leave beforehand."

Partridge's Cauldron is the closest store to the Leaky Cauldron, and a sign stands outside the clean and tidy storefront.

"All sizes? Pure copper, brass, tin, silver? Automatic stirring? Retractable?" Kong Nuo suddenly became interested. This crucible looks similar to a hot pot.

A well-dressed wizard wearing glasses opened the store door and said with a warm smile:

"Welcome to Partridge's cauldron shop, we have the cleanest cauldrons in England, even with self-cleaning magic! You know! A clean cauldron keeps potions from turning into poison."

"It's very tempting!" Kong Nuo touched his chin, "Do you support custom-made crucibles? It just becomes what I need."

The capable wizard was even more elated. He took Kong Nuo's hand and pulled it directly into the store, not forgetting to introduce himself, "My name is York Partridge, I don't know what your name is sir?"

"Konno."

York took out a drawing board and said, "Okay! Mr. Konno! What kind of crucible do you need? I can provide it for you here, including any functions you need!"

According to the memory of his previous life, Kong Nuo drew a circular hot pot with a diameter of 1.5 meters on the drawing board.

York took the drawing board and adjusted his glasses, "It seems that he is a very pursuing guest! This is the first time I have seen such a unique crucible."

"can not do this?"

"Of course not! We are the best crucible shop in England! What function do you need? Where is the delivery address? We will send the crucible to you after it is made!"

"Hmm...function?" Kong Nuo touched his chin and thought about it, "Can it be heated automatically? It's better to be able to adjust to a suitable temperature."

York's hands trembled and he adjusted his glasses again, his voice twisted a little, "This function can be realized...but it's very difficult, so...you need to pay more!"

"Money is not a problem." Kong Nuo waved his hand, "Automatic stirring function? Can you stir the bottom of the pot? The kind that prevents the pot from sticking."

York let out a long sigh of relief, and nodded fiercely, "Of course there is no problem! The magic of this function is the patent of our Partage Crucible Shop!"

"Let me think... what other functions..." Kong Nuo tried hard to recall what his dream love pot was like in his previous life.

"Yes! Can it be separated automatically in the middle? I want to cook something while cooking, and then even if the smell floats away, it will be sucked back."

It took York a long time to understand Kong Nuo's appeal, and began to pinch the frame of his glasses and said, "Of course...no problem, but it still needs more money and time."

"Time is not a problem, we are still far away from winter!" Kong Nuo said disapprovingly, "The automatic cleaning function is indispensable..."

"Then there must be a timing function. After I set the time, I can put things in my bowl as soon as the time is up."

York felt that his spectacle frames were about to be crushed, and it was the first time he encountered customers who made so many weird requests.

He asked with an apologetic smile, "That... Mr. Kong Nuo, do you need a crucible or a soup pot?"

"Is there a difference? It's all cooking, and I think my request should not be too much." Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it... Patchy's cauldron shop should not be the best cauldron shop in England !"

York couldn't help but look embarrassed, and could only agree with a smile, "That's a must! I did a rough calculation, you need at least a hundred Galleons for a fully customized crucible that requires so many functions."

"One hundred Galleons!" Williamson, who followed in, exclaimed, "Did you buy a gold pot or a silver pot? Are you sure it's cooked?"

York noticed that Williamson was wearing an Auror uniform, and immediately shrank his neck, looked at Kong Nuo and asked, "Well...Mr. Kong Nuo, do you want a silver pot or a gold pot?"

"Of course you need a copper pot, otherwise the taste won't be right." Kong Nuo said seriously, "Please write down all the requirements for me first, and I'll go to Gringotts to get some money, and I'll come back later to pay."

Hearing that Kong Nuo agreed so readily, York was in high spirits again, and while nodding and bowing, he sent the three of Kong Nuo out of the crucible shop.

Prout worried on the side: "Mr. Kong Nuo, are you really going to buy such an expensive crucible? Are you still proficient in potions?"

"I must take down this perfect hot pot!" Kong Nuo stretched his waist, "But in fact, I don't have enough money now. Do you have any way to make money here?"

"Um..." Williamson said hesitantly, "One hundred Galleons is not a small amount, it's almost close to our monthly salary."

Connor looked at Williamson with some surprise, "You Aurors should belong to the high-salary class, right? It does look a bit expensive!"

"Dare you have no idea about money!" The two Aurors complained inwardly at the same time.

Prout sighed and said, "Yes, an ordinary crucible is enough to brew potions. Even a crucible with additional functions will cost thirty Galleons at most."

"This hot pot must be perfect." Kong Nuo said sternly, "I must take it! You guys! Is there any way to get money very quickly? The sooner the better."

"The kind of way you said...is he serious?" Williamson felt that he had a toothache now.

"Of course it's the one that comes in the fastest, it's not serious!" Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows and said.

Prout rubbed his temples, "The unscrupulous ways of making money are written in the criminal law... You know, we are Aurors, and we specialize in arresting these unscrupulous wizards."

Williamson nodded in agreement, "That's right! We have received professional training, and we will never cross the bottom line no matter what!"

Kong Nuo glanced at the two Aurors with disdain, and said slowly: "Actually, I think we've known each other for so long, we should be brothers. I originally thought that after making money, I would share a part of it with you. It's such a pity !"

As the two Aurors whose wages were deducted for several months, even if they had received professional training, they couldn't resist the temptation of money at this moment.

Williamson said with a straight face: "Recently, we have actually received some rumors that Gringotts has an illegal den recently. Maybe we should go there and investigate!"

Prout nodded fiercely, "That's right! After all, as an Auror, it is also our Auror's duty to eradicate such possible evils!"
