The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

(This picture is more for daily cooking, don’t look at it when you are hungry)

"Master, why are you out?"

When Zhang Qi walked towards the backyard, he happened to meet "Butler" Lil Frye. This retired Green Beret special forces member looked very surprised.

"Don't call me Master, please call me Cook"...

Zhang Qi replied helplessly.

"Uh, could it be that the boss asked you to cook for the guests today?"...

Lil Frye scratched his head and asked with some uncertainty.

"You guessed it right, my dear butler".

Zhang Qi thought for a while and then said.

"Well, since you are now the housekeeper, it shouldn't be a problem for you to help me in the kitchen."

"Of course it's no problem, Master."

Lil Frye said half-jokingly.

-----------------------

"Master, the beef you want."

A chef poached from the Michelin restaurant by Hekmadia placed a large piece of beef on the cutting board in front of Zhang Qi, and then handed over a sharp Chinese thick-backed kitchen knife.

"Thank you for your hard work, but how are your knife skills?" Zhang Qi took the kitchen knife and began to slice the beef, and then fluffed the thick slices with the back of the knife to make beef tenderloin.

"Ah, the requirements for knife skills in Western food are not as stringent as those in Chinese food. My knife skills are not even as good as those of some ordinary Chinese chefs who have worked in small restaurants for a period of time."

The Michelin-starred chef originally wanted to scratch his head in embarrassment, but instead he only scratched his hat.

"Then help me cut the onions and green peppers into strips."

Zhang Qi said helplessly, but the movements of his hands were non-stop.

"OK".

The slightly embarrassed chef walked aside and started chopping onions.

Add cooking wine, cooking oil and a little bit of water starch to the beef and stir evenly. Zhang Qi put the basin aside and started cooking the next dish.

"Lil Frye! Help me pry open those 8 oysters"!

Zhang Qi heated up the oil in the pot, then poured the chili segments, onions, green onions and minced garlic he had just prepared into the pot.

With a squeaking sound, the milky white pot gas suddenly began to cover the entire stove, and the air was filled with the aroma of minced garlic.

It's like adding cooking wine, oyster sauce, sugar and soy sauce to the pot, stir-frying for a while and then taking it out of the pot.

The rich aroma in the air made the Michelin chef chopping onions next to him give a thumbs up.

"Put 8 oysters into the pot. Remember to arrange them evenly. Only 8 oysters can appear on this layer in the pot. Do you understand?"

"clear"!

Pour the fried minced garlic into the opened French oysters, Zhang Qi lifts the basket onto the steamer, turns up the heat and prepares to steam for 10 minutes.

The next dish is shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

The reason why I thought of making this dish in Hogwarts was because Zhang Qi thought that the white bread in the school was too tasteless, so he planned to make some salty dishes to go with the meal (British cooking skills are not good) Dare to compliment).

Unexpectedly, this dish was welcomed by the whole school as soon as it was launched. Many students, including the Quidditch players from various colleges (because daily training consumes a lot of salt due to sweating), all fell in love with this dish.

One pound of tenderloin cut into thin strips, plus the onion, ginger and starch sauce, add a little sugar and cooking wine when frying, simmer over high heat and reduce the juice, and a pot of fragrant golden sauce shredded pork is ready. .

Then he took the fresh arctic clams and okra in the cold storage and made a cold dish of clams and okra. At this time, he thought of the chef who had just cut the onions.

"Lil Frye! Please tell the chef to make a French bouillabaisse. There is only one soup left for four dishes and one soup."

"Okay Master".

Lil Frye agreed, and then took the chef to the cold storage to pick fish.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Qi put the marinated beef tenderloin into the hot oil, then added onions, green peppers, and black pepper sauce, and began to stir-fry.

"Swipe pull"!

A skillful pull of the spoon ended the operation. There were no oil drops on the plate, and the dishes were sparse but not scattered.

perfect!

Zhang Qi wiped his hands on his apron, and then notified the waiter next to him to prepare the food.

The steamer over there was also cooking, and the kitchen was suddenly filled with the delicious aroma of oysters mixed with minced garlic.

Serve!

Zhang Qi washed his hands at the sink with satisfaction, then dried them with a towel and walked back to the restaurant in the main building ahead.

"Sister, what were you talking about just now?"

Astoria put on the alchemy pendant used for disguise again, and while Hekmadia went outside to find some water to drink, she quietly asked her sister.

"Nothing, but I want to ask you something Nia, please tell me your truest thoughts."

Daphne said very seriously.

"What do you think of Zhang Qi?"

"Huh? This one"...

Astoria thought a little embarrassedly for a while.

"Well, he's a very good person"...

Astoria held it in for a long time and only said this sentence.

"That's good".

Daphne said with a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Zirol and I have now accepted this engagement, but we still need to ask for your opinion. So Astoria, are you willing to get engaged to Hilbert?"

"I don't need you to give me the answer now. This kind of thing requires careful consideration. Just tell me before you are 16 years old."

Daphne rubbed her sister's little head and continued with some emotion.

"But what Ms. Hekmadia said is indeed right. Zhang Qi is indeed more than twice as powerful as Draco Malfoy, the bastard who only knows how to eat his own money all day long."

"Draco is actually a kind-hearted child, but he was spoiled by Lucius as the only son in the family when he was a child. I also believe that the Malfoy family will reach a higher level under Draco's hands."

Hekmedia, who opened the door and walked into the reception room, happened to hear these words, so she defended Draco with a smile.

"Maybe"......

Daphne shook her head without knowing whether it was right or not. Astoria beside her still lowered her head and blushed, saying nothing.

"Okay, Zhang Qi has just made all the dinner. Do you two Miss Greengrass want to go to the restaurant to have a taste?"

Hekmadia, who had changed into plain clothes, said with a smile.

"Okay, you may not know that the dishes promoted by Zhang Qi in school have always been very popular with other students."

Daphne took her sister's hand and said to Hekmadia with a smile.

"Then my sister and I would like to thank you in advance for your hospitality, Ms. Zirol."

"Gulu"~

Astoria's stomach let out an unsatisfied complaint. Daphne and Hekmedia were all stunned for a moment. Then Daphne covered her face in shame, and Hekmedia covered her face. Shut your mouth and try not to laugh.

Astoria stood there awkwardly, her head lowered and her face red, wondering what she was thinking.
