A sharp Hogwarts

How many kinds of kitchen utensils and ingredients are piled in the Hogwarts principal's office?

Dalia didn't count carefully, but the kitchen utensils and ingredients here were indeed the most she had ever seen.

Yeqi's magical breath had some effect, but the effect was not as obvious as she imagined - Doubanjiang could barely make a semi-finished product, and there was not enough time for things like distiller's yeast, tofu, and stinky tofu. After all, "stinky tofu" was still a baby. The Night Qilin, its "Corruption Breath" is currently not that powerful in terms of sustainability and effect.

On the other hand, the simplified version of Mapo Tofu failed as expected, and Dalia did not notice any changes similar to the previous egg fried rice.

Obviously, the correct seasonings, ingredients, and cooking techniques are all indispensable, and her counterattack will have to be slow.

"Okay - so now..."

Dalia glanced at the clock on the wall, and before she knew it, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

Dumbledore and others had not returned yet, so she began to think about another question: whether to prepare dinner for herself in the principal's office.

There is no doubt that the Halloween party at Hogwarts is very attractive, but this year's situation is a little special.

Dumbledore turned a blind eye to all talk of Quirinus Quirrell - he begged Dahlia not to interfere and to buy him as much time as possible.

So if nothing else goes wrong, in the middle of the Halloween banquet, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will break into the auditorium to "perform".

Of course, the sumptuous dishes at Hogwarts were not very attractive to Dahlia.

Except for the professors who cook it themselves, the dishes usually cooked by house elves are only qualified.

It may be very delicious in the eyes of Harry and Ron, but in Dahlia's eyes, it is just a cycle of frying, roasting and stewing various dishes and meats.

"There aren't many opportunities like this, so let's just think of it as a holiday - do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!"

Dalia moved her wrists, crossed her fingers and turned them outwards, skillfully tied her tail into a ponytail and put it into her back collar.

"Don't think about magic for the moment. Having fun eating is the most important thing."

"Ma Po Tofu——"

Dalia waved the kitchen knife forward slightly.

The next moment, flames burst out from the tip of her knife and quickly reignited the three cooking stations.

The "failed" Mapo Tofu wasn't that bad. Dalia's magic flame now barely reached normal levels.

It may not be as strong as Seamus, Hermione, and others, but it is almost in the middle of the class - at least it won't be deducted.

"Stop the complicated Chinese food for now, let's make something simple and delicious...for example, barbecue?"

Dalia walked to the food pick-up point and looked over it quickly.

There are still a lot of fungi, eggplants, and vegetables in Europe. As for meat, it’s better for a lady to exercise restraint at night.

The best ingredients often only require the simplest cooking. Dalia still agrees with this sentence.

——Especially when she plans to make some barbecue skewers to satisfy her craving.

While thinking about it, Dalia randomly took some shiitake mushrooms and washed them, then took out a large eggplant and several pieces of garlic.

After simply washing away the dust from work, Dalia directly tore the mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms in half and skewered them one by one on the iron grill skewers on the side.

As for eggplants, naturally they cannot be directly grilled on skewers - the grilled eggplants in the Hogwarts Great Hall generally have no soul. They like to cut the eggplants into small pieces and grill them in small pieces, or chop them into small cubes and mix them directly. Eat salad, Dalia has long been very resentful of the way these "cults" were handled.

You know, with the size and shape of the eggplant itself, if you bake it directly, it is very likely that it will not be cooked through, but if you cut it, it will dry out.

Even if the wizards have magic assistance, some basic logic must be followed to ensure the flavor and even heat are achieved.

However, any soul who has eaten street skewers and barbecue in China will not be confused by the method of grilling eggplant:

Dalia was seen holding the eggplant in one hand and holding a knife in the other hand to cut a knife mark on the middle line of the eggplant.

When the eggplant was split into two, Dalia made another cut along the center line of the eggplant on both sides, but this time she deliberately controlled the force and did not cut it completely.

Then, Dalia carefully opened the knife marks and cut diagonally along the center line of the knife marks, cutting out small wells.

After a while, the eggplant, mushrooms, and shiitake mushroom skewers were placed on the fire, and the oil smeared on the edges and inside began to sizzle.

While the skewers were being heated, Dalia chopped some minced garlic, mixed with crushed pepper and salt and sprinkled it on the inside of the eggplant.

Within a few minutes, the elegant and fresh principal’s office was filled with the aroma of garlic and barbecue.

"Well, barbecue - it's better to get some vegetarian dishes and soup, after all, it's such a big pot of rice."

Dalia glanced at the slowly roasting eggplant and glanced at the steamed rice at noon.

She didn't plan on making egg fried rice for the time being, as it was still a bit greasy after all - she wanted to have some pure, fat-free white rice with it tonight.

Of course, the lack of fat is limited to the rice itself...

Dalia took some fat meat that had been squeezed for oil at noon, and crisped it in the pot. The fat meat quickly turned into brown oil residue.

There were too many European cabbages, so Dalia randomly pulled out seven or eight leaves, washed them, tore them apart, threw them into the pot and stir-fried them with the oil residue.

"Hmm - it smells good. Sure enough, cabbage with oil residue is the correct way to cook it... Cabbage with white water is simply heretical."

Dalia muttered to herself, cut another tomato and threw it into the crucible next to her.

After the water boiled slightly, she beat two eggs, added some salt to taste, and poured them directly into the crucible.

If Professor Snape saw this scene, his blood pressure would probably rise, but what Dalia wanted to eat now was this messy tomato and egg drop soup.

Without the constraints of magical dishes and Hogwarts professors, Dahlia was left to treat herself.

The magic kitchen knife seemed to disappear in her hand, as light as if it had no weight at all.

Unconsciously, the portraits around the principal's office quietly woke up.

The previous principals swallowed softly and looked at Dalia, who was immersed in the fun of cooking in the room, with different expressions.

However, Dalia has no time to pay attention to the greedy portraits around her now.

Dalia's attention was entirely on the "three dishes and one soup".

When the eggplant was almost finished roasting, she sprinkled another layer of minced garlic and simply fried minced meat on top.

The rich aroma of minced meat and eggplant lingered in the air. While blowing on it, Dalia hurriedly put it into her mouth with a fork.

The garlic flavor has completely penetrated into the inside of the eggplant through pickling and roasting. The surface of the minced meat is slightly burnt and the inside is full of oily aroma. Combined with the soft texture of the eggplant after the oil has locked the moisture, and the salty aroma of the pickled meat, it is simply irresistible. What's more, The most amazing thing is the layer of chopped red pepper. The refreshing and slightly spicy taste is definitely a stroke of genius. It gives the whole dish an excellent layer of flavor and a full texture that you will never tire of eating.There are grilled shiitake mushrooms and grilled mushrooms dotted with crystal salt on the side, which makes people wonder what to eat first.

"Well, it seems... I should find a way to get a pair of chopsticks. European tableware is too stupid."

Dalia eats a spoonful of rice and a spoonful of eggplant, occasionally paired with delicious grated cabbage that is just off and crispy.

Tomato and egg drop soup was also poured out and placed in a small cup on her left hand, ready for a delicious sip at any time.

After arriving in this world for so long, this was the first time for Dalia to enjoy food freely and easily without any destination.

She hummed a tuneless song and happily ate the three dishes and one soup in front of her.

At the same time, in the depths of her soul, magic power pulsed gently - slowly seeping into her body along with the delicious warmth.

If Dalia casts a spell at this time, she will be surprised to find that her "magic aura" is getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, even if she is aware of this, Dalia will not continue to cook magic Chinese food here for the time being.

Anyway, with stinky tofu around, she would have plenty of opportunities to make perfect dishes.

The freedom to cook and enjoy food without any restrictions is the focus right now.

…………

However, as Lu Xun said, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.

Compared to Dahlia's leisure and relaxation, the mood of the other Gryffindor first years was quite bad.

In fact, since Dalia left, the atmosphere in the Charms classroom has become depressing.

Due to Dalia being temporarily called away, Professor Flitwick regrouped: Harry's partner was replaced by Seamus Finnigan.

As for Ron, he was assigned to the same group as Hermione Granger, but both of them looked a little annoyed.

Hermione hadn't spoken to them since the incident with the three-headed dog and Harry's broomstick.

And Ron scowled directly after Dalia left the classroom. Anyone with a discerning eye could see Professor Flitwick's different treatment.

Professor Flitwick had never been very fond of Dahlia.

Everyone speculated that it was partly because she was poor at casting spells, and partly because she liked to secretly change recipes.

In contrast, Hermione could be said to be as perfect as a magic doll that could make no mistakes when it came to reciting and executing the professors' requests.

Therefore, Professor Flitwick often showed a special preference for Hermione, whether it was demonstrations of magical dishes or questions in class.

The more important point is that Hermione is the only first-year Gryffindor student who is not a mess.

"Okay, don't forget the cooking point, that gentle salad egg separation."

Professor Flitwick stood on his pile of books as usual and said sharply, "Eggs should be fluffy, remember, fluffy. Dandelions should be drained after boiling and mincing - and when you are When tasting the salad, you must pay special attention when accompanied by the floating magic. Don't forget the wizard Barufio. He was thinking randomly when the magic was accompanied, and the result was that the magic went out of control and summoned a bison."

"After you are familiar with dandelion salad, you can try Caesar salad. Of course, that will be the content of the next class-"
