Chapter 197-Baptism
Baptism ceremony is a religious term or a term of belief, referring to a ceremony for people with Christian beliefs, which means that the person is clear about the Christian faith and believes in what he believes, and is willing to be separated from the world.into Christ.There are two kinds of baptism: water baptism and baptism. The former involves splashing water on the hands and making the cross on the forehead, while the latter involves immersing the whole body in a pool.Most denominations, however, emphasize baptism as a sign to Christ of their willingness to be baptized.

The wizard baptism is to express to Merlin that he is a wizard, and to believe in Merlin's footsteps of following magic all his life.Defend the glory that belongs to wizards!

The specific ceremony process is as follows
The opening poems generally praise Merlin's life achievements.

Great wizard ancestor, our guardian.

The world praises your holy name, may it be safe and joyful under your protection.

King Arthur's chief wizard, the greatest wizard.

Powerful, full of wisdom, foreseeing the future, and the art of deformation.

May you bless your children, be safe, happy, healthy, strong and bestow your blessing on them.

Then, the child's mother held the child, and the father took the ladle from the old wizard, which contained the holy water blessed by Merlin, and slowly poured it from the child's forehead, then stripped naked, and the child was handed over to the wizard The whole body is soaked in water, which means that the whole body has been washed away from sin and become Merlin's waiter.

At the moment, under the watchful eyes of relatives and friends, Daphne and Hilbert completed the baptism with their newborn son in their arms.The whole body is swaddled in clean linen.

All is well is the child's name, Hilbert wanted to name the child Patrick, but Mr Brian insisted on naming the child after a constellation.The wizard believes that the name of the constellation in the name, the child can get the shelter of the constellation, for example, Mr. Brian’s middle name is Taurus, but Hilbert believes that the fate is controlled by himself, insisting on Patrick Charlie Severus. Shafiq named.

Afterwards, it was a gift to congratulate the baby on his/her birth, or an auspicious word, or any material gift. Alianlina and Nangong Xiongying gave Xiao Pa a longevity lock made of pure gold.Astoria and Draco sent toys, especially the two small beads of the rattle were made of jade.Helena and Rowena presented life-size baby clothes sewn by themselves... After a day, Shafiq Manor was crowded with people, so lively.

"Go and stay with Helena, my son will be watched by me."

At night, Daphne had Patrick sleeping soundly in her arms.Said to Hilbert.

"Tomorrow."

"No, I don't think Rowena is very happy today. I think there were only five or six of you when Helena was born. Listen to me and go."

"Well, you go to bed early." On the third floor of Shafik Manor, Hilbert specially arranged a spacious, airy and sunny room for Rowena and Helena to live in.

"Mom, are you unhappy today?"

"No, mother is very happy that your father has a son, and you have a younger brother."

"It's so late? Why aren't you sleeping?"

"It's my birthday next month, what did you give me, Dad?"

"What does my Nana want?"

"I have not decided yet."

"If you want to tell me, let's go to the playground tomorrow!"

playground.Experts believe that the social skills children learn on the playground will last them a lifetime.According to independent research, playgrounds are the most frequented places for children to go outdoors.Many forms of play are good for the mind and body, but children benefit even more from free and real-time play.

"I want to play that, and that!"

"Speak slowly, you look exactly like your aunt when she was a child."

"what's for dinner?"

"eat dumplings."

At the dinner table, Hilbert still retains the eating habits of Taoist Lingxu. He seldom eats British local dishes, because the same dishes make him tireless. Until he went to China to participate in the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he always felt that his taste buds Hilbert, who lacked something, finally found his home.

Well, the destination on the tip of the tongue.

For this reason, at home in England, he had many house elves pretend to be adults to learn how to make Chinese food.

But the food that is made is unspeakable.

There are also some Chinese chefs in the kitchen, and three conditions must be passed to pass the test.

One is fried rice with eggs, which need to be steamed until the water is very good, and then stir-fried after dissipating the heat.The fried rice should be fully dried, one by one, not sticking to each other, like crystal beads; the chopped green onion should be as fine as green onions, but the flavor of the green onion should permeate into the rice; the eggs should be so delicate and yellow that they cannot be fried. Old, when chewing, the fragrance penetrates the teeth, and it is considered a pass.

The second is stewed noodles. Hilbert never stirs them with chopsticks when he eats them, but puts them in his mouth as soon as he picks them. The stewed noodles stick to the noodles; as he stirs, the stewed noodles in the bowl will stick to the whole bowl of noodles. In, the saltiness is just right, neither thick nor diarrhea, not too much, not too little

The third is fried shredded pork with green peppers.Stir-fried shredded pork, choose the ingredients and positions, and then cut into matchsticks. Generally, it should not lose its shape. After frying, it should be mellow in color and taste. resistance.This is the hard work of testing knife skills and controlling the heat.

Only those who can pass these three tests will be hired as a chef, and it is only believed that he can cook meat and vegetarian delicacies.

At this time, the head chef brought up the first pot of cooked dumplings.It is stuffed with egg, shrimp and mushroom.

When making dumplings, first spread a piece of dumpling skin on the left palm, then scoop a spoonful of diced mushrooms into the middle of the dumpling skin, then put the shrimp wrapped in thick egg liquid on top of the diced mushrooms, and finally put the dumpling The leather bag is fine.

The coagulated eggs in the dumplings will lock the moisture on the shrimp and mushrooms, and at the same time hold the shrimp and mushrooms together.When Hilbert took a bite of the dumpling, he could feel the springiness of the shrimp, the crispness of the mushroom and the softness of the egg at the same time.

At the same time, there are also rice cakes. Chinese people like to be united, and there is no distinction between the north and the south, but when it comes to eating, they are divided into north and south.

In the eyes of northerners, southerners "rice rice soup fish", what a hard life, and even feel sympathy for them.

But if you let the southerners themselves say that rice is served with delicious fish soup, life is delicious, and eating steamed buns and dry buns every day is boring!

For southerners, steamed buns and noodles can be used as breakfast and supper, but the staple food of the main meal must be a bowl of hot white rice to keep them full for the day.

"Come, have a drink." Hilbert said to Nangong, holding a [-]-degree old Baigan.

Rice cakes can also be dipped in sauce and salt, but Nangong Xiongying does not advocate that way of eating.

"Sweet rice cakes are orthodox, salty ones are all heresies!"

"Actually, there is another dish in China called Qingyi Jinjiao Wan." Nangong Xiongying, who was eating dumplings, said suddenly.

"What pill?"

"The raw materials are taken from the golden claw crabs of Qingyi Lake in Wuhu. After steaming the golden claw crabs, use a hook needle to pick out the double claws and the thickest first section of the crab legs. The meat is smashed into thin sticks. At the end, nothing else is added, and the outer skin of this ball should be kneaded. The crab red (golden red crab roe) in the crab shell is used as the filling. There is another process at the end, which is to use mature vinegar and young minced ginger with live The raw crab roe is blended into a dipping sauce, steamed until slightly cooked, the balls are rolled in it, and the sauce is hung and served on a plate."

The chubby head chef wiped the sweat off his brow and murmured, "How many crabs do you need to make a plate of meatballs?"

Nangong Xiongying said with a smile: "I only saw Zhang Daoling eat once when I was young."

Nangong Xiongying smiled and said: "This unwrapped gold-wrapped jade pill reminds me of the eggplant in the Jia's Mansion in the Dream of the Red Chamber... It seems that being rich is not necessarily a nobleman, only three generations can become a family."

[The author has something to say]

(The dish in the book——Qingyi Jinjiao Pills is indeed available, but I haven’t seen any restaurants selling it in all parts of the country in these years. I hope readers don’t read my book and go to the restaurant to order this dish dish, then you may be beaten out by a group of chefs waving frying spoons. I remember seeing a master who wrote this dish before, but I forgot the name.)
