  Finally, McGonagall completed the purchase task at a price of 889.

  Well, it smells good.
   "I want this paring knife." McGonagall gave the dwarf blacksmith a silver coin, took the shiny silver paring knife, humming a little song and left the blacksmith's shop in a good mood.
   "I thought it was a great customer." The blacksmith murmured, put the silver coin in his pocket, and took out the book again and leaned against the stove to look at.
  Meg didn’t plan to customize it with the blacksmith at the beginning, the craftsmanship is a bit rough, not as good as Mobai and Lulu, let alone compared with the system.
  The package provided by the system is completely enough for a professional chef to use, let alone just for teaching.
  As for teaching aids such as tables, chairs and benches, the purchase has also been completed in the system.
  Now only waiting for the teaching building to be completed, put all these things in, and you can wait for the arrival of the students.
  In a good mood, McGonagall returned to the restaurant, glanced at the small blackboard hanging in front of the restaurant, went in with the board, and after a while, he came out again with the board, and it said: Today’s new product: spicy snail!
  The weather is cold, the number of beer drinkers has decreased, and rum has become a good substitute.
  However, restaurants rarely have special dishes to go with alcohol. This spicy snail was launched for this purpose, a professional dish with alcohol.
   McGonagall returned to the dining room and looked at Annie sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window who was drawing. He smiled and walked forward, looking at the drawing board in front of her from the back.
  The painting is very simple, with blue sky and white clouds, and a corner of Aden Square. There are not too many skills mixed in. It makes people feel relaxed and free. There is not even a clear subject, just sitting here and seeing those things.
  But McGonagall felt that the painting looked very comfortable, and there was a feeling of putting the landscape into the painting.
  Anne added the last stroke, put down the pen, and then looked back at McGonagall with a smile on her face.
   "The painting is so beautiful." McGonagall smiled and praised.
  Anne picked up a picture book from the table on the side, handed it to McGonagall, and said in sign language: "New picture book."
  Broadcast, [app ] It’s really good, it’s worth installing, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
  Meg took the picture book, and there was an orange whooper swan on the screen.
  And the name of the picture book is: "The Ugly Duckling"
  Meg: "..."
With a complicated mood, McGonagall opened the picture book. After a while, McGonagall looked at the grill on the fire on the last page and the golden and oily roast goose. He rolled his throat, but still couldn't hold back his smile. .
  This should be the modified version of "The Ugly Duckling" dictated by Amy, it's too miserable...
  But this story is actually quite moral. Do you think life deceives you? Actually not, life is doomed for a long time, no matter how hard the ugly duckling works, it can only become a roast goose.
Oh, right.
  The ending of the story did not actually become a roast goose.
  The ugly duckling escaped from birth, and the duck that had bullied him from childhood became a roast duck, an orange swan.
   McGonagall glanced at the ugly duckling who was napping on the counter, wondering how he would feel after seeing this story.
   "That's...very good." McGonagall nodded. If you put aside the preconceived thoughts, in fact, the story of this version of Ugly Duckling has become more twists and turns, and it is not interesting.
  After all, he didn't understand at the beginning, how the four-legged beast that hatched from the egg turned into an orange swan flying into the sky.
  The two little guys added magical brain holes to make the story more innocent and interesting. The story of a little orange cat trying to grow up, defeating the bad duck, and chasing the dream of flying, is more inspirational.
   "Can't it be printed?" Annie looked at McGonagall, her expression seemed a little lost.
   McGonagall smiled and said, "No, try printing 5,000 copies later, until the mermaid's picture books are sold out."
  Annie's eyes lit up and nodded with a smile.
   McGonagall sat down opposite her, took the picture book that had just been roughly turned over, and read it again.
  Anne's drawing skills are still improving. Although it is not obvious compared to Miss Black Cat, the details are more vivid and natural.
The protagonist of this story is the ugly duckling and various small animals. It is much simpler than Miss Black Cat’s complicated characters and costumes. However, the details of the color make the picture book more readable, and it is easy to be distracted by the small animals. A variety of cute touches.
  Especially the little bag of Ugly Duckling, all kinds of naive looks are perfectly presented in the picture book, which shows that Annie observes it very carefully.
   "I think it can print 10,000 copies directly." McGonagall changed his mind. This is a picture book for young children. After it is put on the market, it may have some incredible effects.
  In the past few days, more and more customers are looking for the Little Mermaid picture books, and there are still many queues for the picture books.
  And Annie has also become an idol in the hearts of many little guys. McGonagall often hears conversations about Annie, which are scenes where children look for Annie.
  The little guy has become a real painter and has been loved by many people.
  ……
"Miss, today's 1,000 picture books are all sold out! There are also customers who want to increase the price and buy all the remaining picture books from us at the price of three thousand copper coins." Mara ran into the tavern and looked at Ai Fei said with surprise and joy.
  "Sold out?" Effie was taken aback when he heard that, that was a thousand picture books! And it was sold at the price of a volume of two thousand copper coins.
  Last night, she just received the picture book that McGonagall entrusted to send. This morning, according to McGonagall’s arrangement, she sold it at the Titan Pub.
  Unexpectedly, in just half a day, this person's limited purchase of two volumes of picture books has been sold out.
  That is a huge sum of two million copper coins!
"Yes, there were not many people who bought it originally, but after a customer bought it, it seemed that he went to promote it, and then a group of people came to buy it. After a while, a thousand copies were sold out." Mara Nodding her head, she still has some soft hands now, counting the money.
   "That's it." Effie was thoughtful, and it seems that the value of this picture book should be higher than the price, otherwise there will be no purchase price increase of 1,000, and he intends to buy it all in a monopoly.
  Mara looked at Effie and urged: "Miss, the guest is still waiting outside now, let's sell all the remaining picture books to him, and earn 900,000 copper coins for Master."
  Although she doesn't know how to count, she still knows this account clearly.
  Selling the remaining picture books to the customer not only makes more money, but also saves the trouble of selling it yourself.
  "You tell him that we will not pack picture books for sale, and we will not increase the price. Starting tomorrow, one person will be limited to one copy, and priority will be given to customers who enter the store for consumption." Effie shook his head.
   McGonagall had already anticipated that this kind of thing would happen in the letter, and specifically ordered her not to pack and sell it to anyone. The more customers she sells, the better.
  Because this is not only an excellent picture book, but also an advertisement for the Black Cat Opera Company.
