Vientiane Book Cafe, tea room.
The pantry was a place where employees prepared drinks and also a space for them to take a rest. At this moment, May was sitting on a chair in the tea room, leaning on the handle, holding her chin with her right hand, and looking at the short but beautiful Irina with interest.
She watched as Irina rinsed all the tea sets with boiling water, then very carefully placed the tea leaves in the teapot, and poured hot water evenly over the tea leaves. Irina proceeded with the next steps of raising the tea, washing the tea, brewing, and so on. Watching Irina's smooth tea-making process, May couldn't help but sigh, "Irina, your tea-making skills look really good. You are indeed a professional tea-maker. No wonder the boss insists on keeping you."
Irina, who was making tea, smiled and said with some emotion, "I originally thought that the tea-making skills I learned before would no longer be useful, but I didn't expect that the boss would take a fancy to it."
Then, she added, "May, this pot of tea is expected to be delivered to the private room in 5 minutes. Do you need my help?"
After hearing this, May shook her head and said quickly, "No, I'll take care of this."
Time passed bit by bit. Soon, May saw Irina put all the tea in the pot, place three cups on the tea tray, and hand it to her. "May, it's ready and can be sent over."
After taking it, May looked at the exquisite teacup and teapot in front of her with great interest. She glanced at Irina again, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes. May had never drunk tea before; she usually drank coffee. She had previously hired a reserve clerk who was a very good barista and loved the coffee she made very much. But who knew that her boss's preferences were completely opposite to hers? He had no interest in coffee and liked to drink tea, so he chose the clerk who was good at making tea.
She was a little surprised that her boss liked drinking tea. In her impression, people in the East seemed to have these hobbies, but she didn't expect that her boss also had this interest. But she didn't think too much about it; after all, everyone's hobbies are different. Her nephew was very fond of Spiderman and Ironman and liked to collect related items. Although she had no love for Spiderman, since it was her nephew's interest, she didn't mind.
Without thinking deeply, May approached Study Room 101 with the tea tray in front of her. To be honest, she was quite curious about her boss's two friends. On the first day of business, not a single customer came. The first customer was a friend of her boss. Judging from this, it must be a treat from her boss. So, today's turnover might be zero, May thought helplessly.
After approaching Study Room 101, May vaguely heard some sounds coming from the study room. However, due to the strong privacy of the study room, the content was basically inaudible. Despite this, with her always sensitive hearing, she could vaguely hear words like "breakthrough," "runes," and "spirit." Although she didn't quite understand, it completely ignited her curiosity, and she was about to eavesdrop at the door.
Suddenly, click! The study door opened quietly, revealing May holding a tea tray and ready to eavesdrop, to the three people in the study. May didn't have time to think too much and looked awkwardly at the boss and two guests who were watching her.
Then a voice quietly floated into May's ears, "May, come in, please bring the tea in." Lockhart's words completely brought the embarrassed May back to her senses. She quickly took the tea tray and placed it on the desk. Then she placed three teacups in front of the three of them, picked up the teapot, and filled the teacups with tea. Then, Lockhart spoke in a gentle tone, "May, that's fine. You can go about your business now."
After hearing this, May nodded quickly and turned around to leave. Then Lockhart added, making her face heat up, "May, do me a favor and don't let anyone else near the study. I'm talking to my friends about something private." After hearing what her boss said, May realized what she had just done and was afraid that her boss would notice. So she nodded quickly, left the study, and closed the door tightly.
Lockhart looked at the tightly closed door and felt that there was no one outside, so he nodded with satisfaction. At this time, Kaecilius next to him said jokingly, "Lockhart, it seems your manager has a wide range of interests."
After hearing this, Lockhart smiled and said calmly, "Kaecilius, don't worry about her. She is just the store manager during the transition period. In a few months, some reliable people will replace her." Immediately, Lockhart brought the topic back to business and said, "Kaecilius, why didn't you recommend selling magic recovery potions just now?"
Hearing Lockhart's question, Kaecilius smiled and said slowly, "Lockhart, do you remember the bottle of recovery potion you gave me before? I tried the potion you gave me and found that it can indeed restore magic power. But," Kaecilius changed his tone and said with some pride, "perhaps you don't know that we, the sorcerer of Kamar Taj, use the power of Vishanti to practice. Our normal magic recovery speed is much faster than ordinary people. During battles, we have special magic recovery techniques that can completely restore magic power quickly. So the potion you provided is not used in normal times, and it can't match our recovery speed during battle. So I think it's a bit useless. I don't recommend continuing to sell the recovery potions, because no one will buy them."
After hearing Kaecilius' explanation, Master Morin next to him nodded in agreement. He also wanted to convey the same thing. In the past few days, he had a clear understanding of Lockhart's origins. Although he was a little surprised that the other person came from another world, he was not overly curious. After all, their duty is to resist dimensional invasion, and they know a lot about other worlds. Since the Sorcerer Supreme recognized Lockhart's existence, they would not say anything more. What's more, the resources provided by Lockhart are also beneficial to this group of people. Now that they are cooperating with each other, why should they reject him?
After hearing Kaecilius' explanation, Lockhart pondered for a moment, nodded helplessly, and continued, "Okay, I see. What other potions might interest the sorcerers?"
At this time, Master Morin next to him said, "Before, you mentioned a vitality potion that can quickly restore physical strength. If this achieves the effect you described before, I think many mages will buy it. Because when we finish training or fighting, we definitely need to recover our strength quickly. As long as the price is not expensive, you don't have to worry about customers."
Hearing what Master Morin said, Lockhart's eyes clearly lit up. He knew about the vitality potion. This potion could be made by fourth and fifth-year students at Hogwarts. The threshold is not high, it can be mass-produced, and it is not on the Ministry of Magic's list of banned potions. So, he immediately said, "The vitality potion can be provided in large quantities, and the price can be low. You can rest assured about this."
After hearing what Lockhart said, Kaecilius and Master Morin also had a smile on their faces. It seemed they had discovered another major potion product. This meant that their business would be more prosperous. Although Lockhart made the most as a potion provider, they also gained a lot.
