A Day as a Foodie at Hogwarts

Eating the corned beef patties made by Professor Snape, Yunhe really felt that he needed to learn how to cook.

As a Chinese in my previous life, I actually couldn't cook a single Chinese dish.Because I have been living in a medical cubicle, the food is rationed by the hospital.

After traveling to Hogwarts, I went to the Hogwarts kitchen once, and the house elves inside were so enthusiastic.I can cook whatever I want to eat.Although they all have British tastes, it's hard to say how many of them are delicious.

I also tried to make tomato beef stew by myself, following the method I learned from watching my grandma’s videos on Bilibili in my previous life, but I don’t know why it didn’t taste very good.There was a strong smell of blood.

Yun He strongly suspected that the British slaughter industry did not bleed the cattle when slaughtering them, so the taste was too fishy.The same seems to be true for pork. The smell of pork is even stronger without the addition of blood, and even braised pork cannot be cooked.

In the end, all the tomato-based beef stew that failed was fed to Fox.Fortunately, as a phoenix, Fox is not picky about food.After all, being in the UK, Phoenix can't be too demanding. It's good enough for some people to be able to survive without starving to death.

Fortunately, Professor Snape made himself corned beef patties today. If he had made himself his favorite lamb belly buns, Yun He felt that he could have chosen to die.

British-style sheep belly buns, scientific name is Haggis.

Crush the sheep's heart, liver, and lungs, then mix them with oats and some spices, wrap them in the sheep's stomach, and stew.It's ready to eat when it's stewed.

How to describe the taste of this stuff?Yun He felt like he was eating a fresh, live sheep, and the intestines of this sheep were not very good.

After traveling to the magical world of Hogwarts, he could accept everything, but food was really hard for him to accept.I thought that salted fish pie was the scariest dish I had ever seen, but I didn't expect that the British people's creativity in dark dishes is endless.

"I have to learn how to cook!" Yunhe suddenly said this while eating corned beef patties, which almost shocked Professor Snape. What is wrong with this child?

"Yunhe, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, I mean it's time to learn magic."

"Ah."

Snape pretended that this was what Yunhe said.

After dinner, Snape decided to start previewing Yunhe.He must master enough knowledge before the start of school. For those international transfer students and international students, Snape did not think that they came to Hogwarts from all over the world with good intentions.

"Yunhe, let me test you first. Do you know why among all magic systems, the four most important courses are "Potions", "Charms", "Transfiguration" and "Ancient Magic Texts"? "

"Um, shouldn't we talk about how to create new magic?"

Snape knocked Yun He's head and said, "You can't walk, but you still want to run?"

Yun He touched the cup where Snape had knocked it. Oh, it really hurt.Worthy of being a teacher.

"Potion Science is a branch of early alchemy. The earliest wizards tried alchemy to refine gold. After all, it was difficult to mine gold thousands of years ago, and magic was not as developed as modern times. Of course, in addition to alchemy, it is more important The whole point is the pursuit of immortality.”

Snape turned on the stove for Yun He in his study, which was a privilege that many Hogwarts students did not enjoy.

In fact, among the professors at Hogwarts, Snape's magical attainments are actually not weaker than those of Vice Principal McGonagall.Just because he is a cold and venomous person, all the students don't like him, let alone ask him questions.

That is to say, only Yun He, who was so shameless and had the identity of Dumbledore's son, could get some benefits from Snape.

"As time went by, magic continued to develop. Mining gold became irrelevant to wizards. Alchemy split into two categories, refining magic metals and refining potions."

"People's pursuit of immortality is always endless. Although wizards in Europe also pursue immortality, there are not many of them, but mages in the East are almost obsessed with pursuing immortality."

Snape felt that talking about Eastern mages was a little off topic, so he brought the topic back and continued: "Potions is branched from the alchemy of pursuing immortality. Refining potions is very important, do you know why?"

"Because it can eliminate pain." Yunhe answered instantly.Yes, the magic potions in the wizarding world are really magical, like bone spirits.In the novel, one of Harry's bones was removed by Girod, and a brand new bone grew after drinking a bottle of medicine. This is amazing.

Thinking about it from another angle, can bone cancer in Muggles be treated with Bone Bone Spirit?Cancerous bones are removed and new bones are grown.

Snape nodded and shook his head: "That's right, but it's also wrong. The function of potions is not only to eliminate common diseases. The bigger function is to enhance the strength of wizards and enable them to deal with various conditions. Challenge. At the same time, early wizards would also recruit some Muggle followers to help them complete some difficult tasks. Muggles have no magic, but potions can give them short-term magical power."

"For example, it makes Muggles run faster, have greater strength, and be more agile. The fiery potion can quickly warm your body. In extremely cold weather, even at minus [-] degrees, you can move freely without getting hurt. Freeze. The magic potion brewed by the gill grass can give people the ability to breathe underwater for several days."

"Of course, the most important thing. The main function of the potion is to treat the damage caused by the spell."

Yunhe heard this and acted like a good student. He asked in a timely manner: "Is the damage caused by the curse incurable without magic medicine?"

Snape liked students who asked the right questions at the right time.It's like talking about cross talk. When the funny actor catches his eye, the funny actor has to catch up. This is called rhythm.

Yunhe's rhythm was very good, making Snape speak very comfortably.

He continued: "Most of the damage caused by spells requires the use of unspells or potions to cure. Do you know why Muggles are afraid of wizards?"

Yunhe shook his head.

"Muggles may have the ability to kill wizards under certain circumstances, but they cannot solve the harm caused to them by wizards. Wizards can mark eternal harm on Muggles, such as the [Eternal Nightmare] in magic. This magic can put people into nightmares as soon as they fall asleep."

"In the world of wizards, this is just a little prank magic used as a joke among friends. It only takes a [Removing Curse] or a bottle of [Reviving Water] to remove it. But in the world of Muggles, if Muggles If such a spell is cast by a wizard and cannot be broken, Muggles will fall into nightmares every time they sleep, struggling in their dreams and experiencing various horrific events. And the feelings of dreams will be extremely real."

"Over time, Muggles will not be able to distinguish what is the real world and what is the dream world. Then they will resist sleep, and even if they fall asleep, the quality of their sleep will be very poor because of nightmares. It only takes a while, and this Muggle will I will be exhausted to death because of this magic. The reason is that I can’t sleep.”

"There is no cure for this curse in the Muggle world. Unless a wizard gives him a potion."

Yunhe couldn't help baring his teeth after listening to Snape's introduction. The little pranks played in the wizarding world could easily kill a person in the Muggle world, and the killing was invisible.

"The cursed Muggles are so miserable."

"Yes, that's why the Ministry of Magic has regulations to protect Muggles. It is strictly forbidden for any wizard to cast any spell on any Muggle without the authorization of the Ministry of Magic. A little joke from a wizard can kill someone." Snape nodded. The head said: "Speaking of which, you must understand the fundamentals of wizards' survival in this world."

"Curse!"
