Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

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

But in the end, Ambrosio was unable to deal with them directly.

"This is……?"

Adam looked at Ambrosio in surprise.

What does this mean, be polite first and then fight?

"Honeydukes Candy Store will be closing soon."

Ambrosio did not answer Adam's question, but said this sentence with some loneliness.

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

"I have asked many regular customers why they choose yours between your candies and mine, and their answers are surprisingly consistent - because your candies are more delicious."

Ambrosio paused and continued:

"But when I asked them what was wrong with the candy I made, they couldn't tell...but it just wasn't delicious enough."

From Ambrosio's words, Adam suddenly realized something he wanted to express.

The other party obviously does not simply regard making candies as a way to make money, but has a certain love for candies and can get a great sense of accomplishment from the act of making and selling candies to everyone.

As Adam's small shop continues to encroach on his customer base, what he is most concerned about is not the sharp drop in income, but why people don't choose his candies. What's the difference between his candies?

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

taste? Taste? I can’t say what’s wrong with it, but the customer’s response is that it’s not delicious enough.

"There is nothing bad, but it just doesn't taste good." This is probably the biggest blow to a pastry chef and even a chef, not to mention that Ambrosio is extremely passionate about his career and regards it as an ideal. chef.

You must know that the market that Adam is currently occupying is only within Hogwarts, and the customers of Honeydukes Candy Shop include the entire British wizarding world. The impact Adam has caused is not even a physical injury to Honeydukes Candy Shop. But the other party still made the decision to close the door...

Obviously, his ideals were severely hit, so much so that he even had to give up his career for it.

Adam took another look at Ambrosio. Well, he admitted that he had some stereotypes about this bald man with a muscular body at first, but now he seems to be quite cute.

"Now that I've actually seen you, Adam, I want to know...what's wrong with my candy?"

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

"Ah, forget it, just pretend that I haven't asked about this kind of business secrets..."

"Actually, it doesn't involve commercial secrets."

Adam shook his head:

"Actually, nothing I cook is very mysterious. It's basically all created by Muggle chefs."

"...Muggle chef?"

Ambrosio was in a daze after receiving 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 packaging box in his hand, took out a piece of coconut sorbet and took a bite:

"You are so obsessed with those magical effects that your understanding of taste only stops at hard candies, soft candies, and adding fruits or spices. In contrast, Muggle chefs have no magic, but their creativity makes their The work is far more colorful than The Wizards .”

Adam took out another coconut sorbet. After passing the shimmering pink pastry, Adam's hand turned into snow white:

"Try it?"

Ambrosio took it and took a bite. He couldn't help but froze on the spot, eyes blank.

The crispy roasted coconut on the outside, the soft glutinous rice in the middle, and the cold coconut-flavored ice cream filling bring a rich texture. The not-so-sweet taste complements the fresh coconut aroma.

"Is it tasty?"

"……tasty!"

Ambrosio finished the coconut-flavored snow maiden in several mouthfuls and couldn't help but sigh:

"Let me choose. I also like the candies you make better. It turns out that for so many years, I have been taking the wrong path..."

"It can't be wrong. After all, on the basis of being delicious, everyone is definitely willing to have weird effects on candies, but these effects can only be more bonus points and less innocuous embellishments, and cannot become an obstacle to the taste. ”

Adam looked at Ambrosio, who was deep in thought, and suddenly had an idea:

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

"Oh? I originally planned to travel with my wife to various places, to wizard gathering places in other countries, to improve our candy-making skills. I have also saved a lot of money over the years... When I feel that my skills are sufficient Breaking new ground and reopening Honeydukes Candy Store.”

Ambrosio glanced at the fingers still stained with coconut milk:

"But now, I think I will probably go to Muggle cities and try the candies made by Muggle chefs, right?"

"Well...actually I have a proposal, I don't know if you are interested in it."

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 mind..."

"No, no, no~"

Adam stretched out his finger and shook it:

"What I want to say is, are you interested in working in my store?"

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

Ambrosio frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Adam say:

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

"..."

Hearing this, Ambrosio swallowed the refusal that was about to come to his lips.

"And even if you go to learn those recipes, they may not teach you. How much time do you have to learn?"

Ambrosio's eyes showed obvious hesitation.

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

"Why do you want to do this?"

Ambrosio couldn't help but speak,

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

Adam raised his mouth slightly.

Don't worry if you have any questions. Adam's mother in his previous life once said: Customers who ask questions are the ones who really intend to spend money. Those who say "hmmmm" to everything you say are just looking around.

So Adam's talent in business can be regarded as a family tradition X2.

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

Adam smiled and stretched out his hand to Ambrosio, silently strengthening the effect of the love card.

The aura of intelligence reduction... No, the great trick, start!
