Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

When Zhang Xu, Harry, and Slughorn finished collecting all the materials marked on the map and returned to Hogwarts from the Forbidden Forest, it was time for dinner.

Ever since we parted ways with Bell and his party, the atmosphere in the car has not been right. Slughorn has a gloomy face and said nothing, Zhang Xu has been thinking about something, and Harry can only sit there quietly. holding a map to guide the way.

After returning to the castle, Slughorn went directly upstairs, Harry went to the cafeteria to find his friends, and Zhang Xu turned to the cafeteria to deal with today's spoils.

Slughorn only wanted the "blood" of the native sheep, while Zhang Xu took the rest of the whole sheep.

After eating two sandwiches from the house elves, Zhang Xu began to study the four sheep on the ground.

Since it is a mature fruit, it means that it can be planted, and then it will take root, grow vigorously, bloom and bear fruit.

At the beginning, Zhang Xu didn't expect the meat of native sheep to be so delicious.

So when he was in the Forbidden Forest, he had been thinking about whether he could expand and standardize the cultivation of native sheep.

Now the structure of the herbal medicine planting industry in my hometown is beginning to age. Except for some special medicinal materials, some common medicinal materials have not made much profit under the fierce competition in the market. Now the village urgently needs new varieties to adjust the industrial structure. .

The basilisk breeding industry is Zhang Xu's own industry, and he has no intention of handing it over to the clan.

The resorts in the villages are now part of the poverty alleviation project that promotes the development of the surrounding areas. With the help and guidance of the government, the resorts have promoted the construction of green food in the surrounding mountainous countryside.This also makes most of the profits of the entire resort flow to the surrounding villages, and the village's year-end dividends are at a level that can make everyone happy.

In his previous life, Zhang Xu once heard a buddy from Shandong in the university dormitory mention that in the 80s, his family used 8 seeds to introduce American ginseng and became the first area in the country where the trial planting was successful.In the first two years of his crossing, the income of American ginseng there was 9 to [-] yuan per mu.Before the next month, in October when American ginseng was harvested every year, he could receive several catties of American ginseng from his buddies.So in the past two years, Zhang Xu has been looking for economically valuable herbs that can be grown in his hometown in Europe, and if there are suitable ones, he will introduce them for trial planting.

Although Professor Sprout, who was invited after dinner, didn't quite understand Zhang Xu's practice of trying to get money back and plant it, she still readily agreed to help Zhang Xu conduct research on large-scale cultivation of native sheep. .Of course, all expenses are paid by Zhang Xu, and all the final scientific research results are also exclusive to him.

After discussing the cooperation matters and initially signing the memorandum of cooperation, Professor Sprout and Zhang Xu began to study the fruits of native sheep.

As a fruit with the function of spreading seeds, it naturally has seeds inside. The first step tonight is to dissect these sheep-like fruits and find the seeds inside.

When cotton is mature, in addition to cellulose, there are also a small amount of fatty waxy substances, nitrogenous substances and pectin, which can prevent cotton from absorbing rain and dew.And these sheep-like fruits are similar, the wool on the outside also contains a lot of fatty substances for waterproofing, it looks and feels greasy like Snape's hair.

As a plant, the native sheep fruit has no internal organs except for the bones, and it is full of soft meat after being cut open.

After some skinning and shaving, Zhang Xu and Professor Sprout found that the sheep's spine was its seed.

When Harry's trio approached at ten o'clock in the evening, Professor Sprout had already left with four goat-like seeds, while Zhang Xu was there to process the remaining mutton.

Ron and Hermione, who saw these for the first time, felt incredible from time to time touching the greasy fur, and from time to time they used their wands to poke the flesh that was no different from mutton.

"I can't believe this is the fruit of a plant." Hermione sighed, "Although I have seen its introduction and pictures in books, the real thing is still the first

See you once. "

"I thought Harry was joking." Ron said, looking at the lamb body that had been split in half with no internal organs in the middle. "How does it taste?"

As soon as Ron's words fell, Zhang Qiu took a steaming hot pot and put it on the table beside him. Luna came over after placing the seasoning dish and took away the sliced ​​meat that Zhang Xu had just cut.

"If you want to know the taste, prepare the bowls and chopsticks yourself." Zhang Xu said to Ron angrily.This guy just asked Zhang Qiu how it tasted after he saw Zhang Qiu preparing the bottom of the pot.

Zhang Xudong picked up a sheep and put it away, and then said to the students in the kitchen who were already staring at him, "If you want to eat, do it yourself."

A group of students who couldn't wait for a long time started to act as if they heard the firing of the starting gun.

Watching a group of people start to divide the mutton and light the stove, Zhang Xu said to Neville who was preparing the barbecue skewers: "Remember to give me two skewers when it's done roasting, or I'll stew your Leffe."

When Zhang Xu returned to his seat, the bottom of the soup in the copper pot was already boiling. Sliced ​​shallots, sliced ​​ginger, sliced ​​sunshine mushrooms and sliced ​​walking mushrooms were rolling up and down in the pot with the boiling bubbles.

Just when Zhang Xu and the others were about to start eating, the kitchen suddenly became quiet. The door of the kitchen was opened, and Dumbledore brought Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and The four deans of Nepe, Slughorn, Sinista, Trelawney, and all the living professors of Hogwarts rushed in.

When the students were in a daze, Dumbledore walked to the mutton table, held the last whole sheep in both hands, and asked the students around him: "We take a sheep, don't you mind?" "

The students around didn't dare to say they minded, so Dumbledore took it as their acquiescence. He smiled and said to the students around him, "Thank you, I wish you all a happy meal." Then he left with the sheep.

Then Dumbledore and the professors set up a long table away from the students, and set about doing it themselves.

Zhang Xu looked at Hagrid who was cutting up the mutton. It seemed that if the professors wanted to eat more tonight, they had to use their real skills.

Due to the presence of the professors, the students couldn't get excited, and everyone's voice was much lower.When everyone was eating, they finally knew why Professor Dumbledore brought all the living professors to grab the sheep.

Because this lamb is so delicious.

Soon, there was no voice in the entire kitchen. Both the professor and the students were busy grabbing the meat. Even Neville ignored Zhang Xu's threat of stewing Lai Fu, and he didn't even give half of the grilled meat skewers to him. Zhang Xu sent them over, and the Harry trio who originally had business with Zhang Xu also planned to wait until they were full.

From the moment the first piece of meat jumped out of the plate and ran into Professor Flitwick's plate, the professor's table became a performance venue for silent spells and wandless spellcasting.

Suddenly, two palm-height villains wearing armor commonly seen in the corridors of Hogwarts appeared on the dining table. They walked to the plate and forked a piece of meat with their swords in their hands, then turned around and ran towards Dumbledore’s plate. .

Slughorn produced a crystal vial, and after popping a tiny drop of Felix Elixir into his own mouth, he always got the best part.

Snape quietly cast a Confusion Charm on the plate of meat in front of him, so that the professors next to him could not feel its existence.

At some point, when Professor McGonagall was forking meat into the plate, the fork in her hand suddenly became several times larger.

Just as the professors were showing their talents, several professors expressed calmness.

Hagrid thought about going to the Forbidden Forest by himself tomorrow.

Professor Sprout secretly made up her mind that after the native sheep were successfully planted, she must keep one of them and eat enough for herself.

As for Scarlet, if the meat hidden by Zhang Xu is less than half a sheep, her name will be written upside down.
