Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?
Chapter 196: Moving in a good direction
I also met Neville Longbottom from the Gryffindor family. He was a little weak and always timid, so Draco used the whipping method and Harry used the encouragement method to help him grow. Neville was good at handling herbs, and I introduced him to the twins, and they liked him very much. At first he was also very afraid of Professor Snape, but when it came to herbs, he became talkative and the two of them had a good conversation.
Theodore Nott was also a pure-blooded noble, but he was more inclined to the field of research, so he, Neville, Fred, George, and Professor Snape formed a research team to work on various research and development. Later, everyone discussed whether to set up a company. Lucius and Nott's father argued over the investment ratio, and Arthur Weasley insisted on investing. In the end, he successfully became an investor, and of course Edgar. His investment was quite large and left a deep impression. Edgar's father once said that Edgar stopped his usual strange expenses and saved money in order to invest in the twins, although I don't know what strange things he spent his money on before. Edgar is not only an investor, he is also one of the research partners.
Not only Theodore, but Nott's father was also an excellent researcher, and their cooperation contributed to the practical application of magical protective equipment. They successively released items such as cloaks, gloves and hats with shield spells, and received a large number of orders from Aurors, achieving great success.
With the funds from these successes, Fred and George received additional support from the Notts and Malfoys to open a factory to process Muggle electronic products into versions that can be driven by magic. Some products are even customized by the wizarding world from the beginning. The factory hired people who had not attended Hogwarts but had some magical abilities, who were enough to complete the manufacturing process. The factory also recruited wizards who failed to enter Hogwarts from the learning center run by the Black family and provided them with the opportunity to learn simple magic.
They also set up dormitories to help the children who were working and trying to learn at the learning center. Although the wages were not high, they could provide free room and board, and the opportunity to continue their studies. Lupin also found homeless children and adults in Night Lane who were eager to start over, and also provided employment opportunities for werewolves. Although food-related jobs were not suitable for werewolves, they had no problem operating machinery in the factory. Some werewolves had enough magical powers to even enter Hogwarts if they were not werewolves.
The factory also opened a store dedicated to selling these products, located next to Diagon Alley. Fred and George are really amazing. Almost all the money they earn is invested in the development of the wizarding world, rather than enjoying it for themselves. I told them that they are really amazing, and they responded that they can't lose to Vincent and Gregory. Indeed, Vincent and Gregory have made great contributions to improving law and order, although they themselves are not aware of it.
Now, Fred and George are still at Hogwarts, so they leave the management work to reliable people, and continue to look for talents who are keen on research and development in the school. Their goal is to develop the factory to the point where they can produce items that are more advanced than Muggle products.
Vincent and Gregory continued to provide me with recipes as promised. Now that they had their own studio, although they no longer came to my house every day, I often worked with Aunt Ann to make the recipes. Every dish was delicious, but some of the steps were too complicated for a novice cook, so I simplified and improved the recipes myself. After I had made most of the improvements, I took the recipes to Lucius and asked him if he could publish a cookbook, and also suggested selling the kitchen tools developed by the twins. Lucius immediately accepted the idea, and I wrote to the twins at Hogwarts, who were very happy.
We then worked with Vincent and Gregory to decide which recipes would be good for publication. Although they were all family recipes, I simplified many of the steps to keep them both happy and tasty. It was a difficult process, but in the end both the book and the cookware sold like hotcakes.
Due to the success of the book, more and more people went to the restaurant to dine, and Vincent and Gregory made a lot of money. The Malfoy family, the publisher of the book and the investor of the restaurant, also made a lot of money. Later, I proposed whether the recipes could be published in the Muggle world. Lucius thought it was a good idea, so I readjusted the recipes again in the studio, removed the magic and magic tools part, and rewrote the instructions to be easy to understand. Finally, I asked Draco, who never cooks but is very serious, to test these recipes and complete the final confirmation work.
However, although these recipes are delicious, the books are not popular in the Muggle world because the authors are two unknown fat kids. It seems that in order to promote it in the Muggle world, it is necessary to cultivate chefs with outstanding appearance. However, Vincent and Gregory's restaurant does not have suitable candidates. Most of the employees are dug out from Night Lane. Although they are all hard-working good people, they look more like gangsters or hooligans in appearance and are not suitable to stand in front of the public.
I want to find some people who like cooking among the Squibs (i.e. descendants of wizards without magical abilities) who are studying in the Black family's learning facilities and can appear in Muggle magazines or on TV. Not only that, due to the shortage of manpower, I also hope that more outstanding talents can join to support Vincent and Gregory and help them think about things other than cooking. The two of them are now thinking only of cooking. Are there any suitable talents in the Black family's learning facilities or adoption homes? We should work harder on recruitment.
Although I put a lot of effort into it, the sales of the cookbooks published in the Muggle world were not good, so I temporarily froze the publishing plan. The remaining books were sold at a reduced price in the wizarding world. Although I didn't make much money, I didn't lose money. I also helped with the review work and earned a good amount of money. I plan to put my reward in a few cute jars designed by Pansy. Great, it seems that my slow life plan is still possible.
In the magic world, the book sold well, so they later published a book about desserts and hospitality, and the two devoted themselves to cooking research. They asked Pansy to design the book and also asked her to help with the beautiful plating when taking pictures.
Since commercial and home recipes are slightly different, this is also very interesting to research. We research every day, and naturally I help. Vincent and Gregory often see each other and spend a lot of time together. Are we more like business partners than friends? Because we hardly talk about personal matters, and we always discuss food. Although we can't say we are friends, we still have a good relationship.
In this way, the magic world is also gradually changing. As long as the opposition between light and darkness stops, more people will start to try new things. If the overall environment is unstable, it is difficult to make bold investments, right? For ordinary wizards, the confrontation between light and darkness may be as far away as the clouds in the sky, but now the magic world is in a prosperous scene and full of hope. I think the expressions of people walking on Diagon Alley are brighter than before I was adopted by the Weasley family, and it is obviously more lively.
Although the wizarding world is slowly changing, these changes are in a good direction.
