A Day as a Foodie at Hogwarts

Energy potion is really not an easy formula to prepare.Although Professor Horace has always said that this potion is not difficult, in fact it is still very cumbersome for first-year wizards.

Even a top student like Hermione still seems a little clumsy when making potions.

It is not unreasonable for three people to prepare this potion together.Because the little wizards' ability to handle magic potions is not perfect yet.

For example, it is very troublesome to cut ginseng into thin slices.It is best to cut it as thin as paper, so that its medicinal properties can be released more when brewing the potion.

The Bona rhizome is very hard. According to the requirements in the book, the juice must be squeezed out of the thing.Also dealing with raw cocoa beans is a big hassle.

But these were words for other little wizards, but for Yun He, these were nothing.Don't forget, Yunhe learned a simplified version of the [Divine Edge Shadowless Curse] from Snape.

Although this weakened version of the curse cannot leave irreversible wounds caused by black magic like [Shen Feng Wu Ying].But it is very useful for cutting vegetables and processing potions.

While Hermione was still dealing with the first ginseng, Yunhe took out his wand and gently pointed at the remaining ginseng. [Chopping melons and vegetables].

Silent spell.The ginseng in front of him instantly turned into thin slices, which were ten times neater than cutting them by hand.

Hermione looked at Yun He in disbelief: "How did you do it?"

Before Yun He could say anything, Malfoy, as Yun He's most loyal henchman, spoke first. He said with a hint of pride: "This is Yun He's secret magic. I won't tell you. This is the principal." Mysterious magic taught by myself.”

Malfoy's smug expression really deserves a beating.It was as if it was not Yun He who released this magic, but himself.

And he also bragged about it, saying that it was taught by the principal himself, which is obviously... um... wait a minute.If I remember correctly, Snape seems to have indeed become the headmaster in the seventh installment of Harry Potter.

Putting it this way, there seems to be no problem in saying that this is magic taught by the principal himself.

Malfoy was a little confused as to why Yunhe was so friendly with a young wizard of Muggle origin.You know, Muggle-born wizards are all very humble guys.

Because of Lucius's education to Draco, little Draco already had a deep sense of discrimination when he was only 11 years old.It was not until 19 years after he graduated that he slowly corrected his three views and told his son: blood does not represent a person.

Yunhe actually didn't hate Draco, although this guy was arrogant, arrogant, talkative, discriminatory, etc.But he is still a salvageable guy.

It's just that the education Shi received since childhood made him what he is now.

Malfoy is still very talented in magic.This can be seen from the Defense Against the Dark Arts duel between him and Harry in their second year.Snape simply called Malfoy aside to whisper a few words and told him a spell and a trick on how to cast it.He can release magic like [Oolong Out of the Hole], even if it is just a small trick, this is enough to prove Malfoy's magical strength.

His talent is no worse than Harry's, he just lacks the aura of the protagonist.But now that Yunhe is here, Malfoy's fate is different. He no longer has to worry about Harry taking away the protagonist's halo, because all the halo has been taken away by the canal.Not only did he rob him, but he also forcibly took him in as his younger brother, so he asked him if he was angry?

As for the younger brother who has excellent magic talent but is still a bit evil-minded, Yunhe still feels that he needs to be cultivated slowly.

He shrugged and said to Hermione: "Well, Malfoy is right. This is an advanced magic, and it is very useful for handling potions."

While talking, Yunhe processed all the raw cocoa beans, Bona rhizomes, and other medicines.At this time, the ginseng in Hermione's hand had not yet been cut.

Hermione felt a little awkward and pursed her lips: "But the book says to use a knife to cut..."

"Isn't it the same? And I'm faster." Yunhe was helpless at Hermione's nerdy behavior: "If there is a better way, use a better way. Draco makes a fire." As he spoke, Yunhe grabbed the Taking the half ginseng in Hermione's hand, she cut the melon and vegetables and threw it out, and the ginseng turned into neat slices.

Draco had already lit the stove under the cauldron on their table. According to the recipe, Yunhe poured in the recipe first, and then poured in the ginseng slices.Simmer over low heat until the steamer starts to bubble, add the juice from the Bona rhizome pieces, and turn the originally slightly brown soup into purple.Then pour in the remaining ingredients except mint and start stirring.

"Stir twelve times clockwise, and then twelve times counterclockwise." Hermione saw that Yun He had stirred for thirteen times, and she immediately shouted to Yun He to stop.

Yun He ignored her and said: "Silly boy. Refining magic potion cannot be done simply based on the methods in the book. The methods in the book are a kind of insurance, but they will not produce any high-quality products. . You must know that the maturity of each potion is different. For example, the ginseng we received today is drier, and the Bona rhizome is faster and thicker. They need more stirring to produce better effects. "

"If the ginseng we get today is more tender, or the Bona rhizomes are smaller, then we will use less heat and stir less times. This is a skill accumulated from countless experiences. These tips That’s what the book won’t tell you.”

What Yunhe said made sense, and Hermione couldn't refute it for a while.

She could only ask with a puzzled face: 'Really? '

"Really. Look at the color of the soup." Yun He has stirred the soup 25 times clockwise and counterclockwise.The concoction should take on a nice pure green color by this stage.The potion brewed by Yunhe is now very bright green.

Hermione looked around and saw that almost none of the potions brewed by other students were green.The potion brewed by the Harry trio was a desperate black color, and it seemed that there was something wrong with the cocoa beans.At the table in front of Yunhe and the others, the soup made by Daphne and the others was a strange blue color. This should be because the Bona rhizome did not produce juice well.

Looking around, Yunhe made the best potion.

Even Professor Horace couldn't help but praise when he passed by Yun He: "So far, I am most satisfied with the handling of your table. Keep working hard, I want to see a perfect finished product."

Yunhe nodded, and then he started to violate the operation again. According to the records in the book, he should be slowly reducing the soup over low heat.However, Yunhe increased the firepower, and the entire pot of potion was boiled, with bubbles popping out.The originally beautiful and conspicuous green is quickly turning to brown.This is refining a magic potion, not cooking, and there is no need to achieve the brown color that Michelin chefs love.

"The fire is too strong!" Hermione wanted to turn off the fire, but Malfoy stopped her.

"Hey, Yunhe is working. Don't disturb him. Do you think you can surpass him in refining potions?" Malfoy said unceremoniously.

And Yunhe stopped the fire just before the potion was about to burn black.The once beautiful bright green potion was now burnt brown.

"Oh, no. Our potion failed." Hermione grimaced.

"No, not yet." Yun He picked up the last material on the table, a few mint leaves.He placed the mint leaves in the palm of his hand and patted them hard with his palm.The fragrance of the mint leaves was captured and then thrown into the potion.

Something magical happened. The originally burnt brown potion turned into a beautiful and clear dark green the moment the mint entered.This is the most perfect color in the book.Hermione looked at Yun He blankly, he didn't follow the rules in the book at all, how could he do so well? !

Just when Hermione was in a daze, Yunhe pulled out a dried chili pepper from somewhere.

This is not material written in the book, but Hermione has no intention of stopping Yun He now because she can no longer understand his potion operation.

She could only ask: 'Is this also the material added to the potion? '

"Yes. Trinidad dried chili peppers. The spiciness is 150 million degrees. It is the main material for making anti-wolf spray and smoke bombs in the Muggle world. It is widely used in various self-defense weapons. Women use Trinidad dried chili peppers to crush and soak them into chili pepper water. Putting it in a spray bottle can be a good way to defend yourself. Once a man wants to cheat on you, just take out the bottle and spray him. There will be a strong and unbearable burning sensation wherever the skin comes in contact. By the way, this thing Not edible. Eating a whole Trinidad pepper will land you right in St. Mungo's Hospital."

Hermione was stunned: "What are you planning to do?!"

Yun He showed a smirk: "Teach Mohamed, the second generation devil, a little lesson." Huh, there can only be one second generation devil in Hogwarts!

When Horace wasn't paying attention, Yunhe used his wand to lightly tap Trinidad dried chili peppers and released the shrinking spell.A dried Trinidad pepper the size of a watch dial shrank to the size of an ant.Then, under the guidance of the Cloud River Floating Curse, he fell into the potion being brewed by Mohammad and others.

"You! Are you planning to kill them?!" Hermione's eyes widened and she almost raised her hand to report to the teacher.

Yun He grabbed her, pressed her hand that was about to complain, and said with a wicked smile on his face: "Just wait and see the good show."
