Chapter 42 Chicken Soup is Here (Please read! Please invest! Please vote!)
"So, why did you come to me this time?"
After all the tea and rock biscuits were placed, Hagrid asked.
As the introducer, Hermione naturally had to explain her intention.
But after reading Hagrid's 'collection', John already had other ideas.
He stretched out his hand to stop Hermione, then smiled and picked up a rock cake and said:
"Of course it's because of this. The rock cake is really delicious, and it's especially useful for people like me who always miss meals because of my busy schedule. So I just wanted to ask if you can give me more Some?”
Thanks to his previous life and his experience in St. Brelade, John has long been able to talk to people and talk to ghosts.
Hagrid obviously loves rock pie very much and attaches great importance to it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't use it as a pastry for entertaining guests.
Therefore, praising him from Rock Piper's point of view will definitely improve Hagrid's favorability.
And just as John expected, Hagrid immediately burst out laughing after hearing this.
"Hahaha! John! I knew you were a good judge of things. I knew it from the day I first met you at the Leaky Cauldron!" Hagrid laughed and took out another large bag of rock biscuits and stuffed it into John's arms, "Take it! Take it quickly! Don’t be polite to me. If you want to eat it in the future, just come to me. I’ll take care of it here!”
"Thank you, Hagrid, you helped me a lot."
John expressed his sincere thanks.
Hagrid waved his hand generously, and John continued, "How about this, and in return, please let me cook a dish for you."
"John, you...can you cook?"
Hermione couldn't help it any longer, her eyes widened in surprise.
In her opinion, it was impossible for John to know how to cook.
After all, John was only 11 years old like her, and was as keen on learning all kinds of knowledge as she was. In addition, he had to work for Snape, and his schedule was so full. It would be incredible if he had also studied cooking.
But after hearing this, Michelle licked her lips and said:
"Of course! John's cooking is the best!"
"That's right! John is really good at cooking. Hermione, you don't know, right? John once worked in the Leaky Cauldron. When I went to the Leaky Cauldron a few days ago, Tom complained to me that John left. The Leaky Cauldron's food sales dropped by a full [-]%!"
Hagrid nodded and said happily, "John, thank you so much. You can use the ingredients in the house as you like. If that's not enough, there is a small greenhouse behind the hut with some vegetables I grew in it."
John nodded and immediately took down the two chickens hanging from the ceiling.
These two chickens are different from other hams and bacon. They are quite fresh. They must have been killed by Hagrid not long ago. They are suitable for stewed chicken.
He took out his wand and chopped it into pieces with the Splinter Charm. John put it into a stone pot that had been filled with water again, boiled it, and blanch it.
Taking advantage of this time, John went to the greenhouse that Hagrid mentioned to pick some basic onions and ginger, and also took some of the 'wild vegetables' hanging in the hut and used magic materials to process them. Cleanses and speeds up foaming.
When the soaking process is completed, the blood of the chicken pieces in the stone pot has also been blanched.
John changed another pot of water and put in the chicken pieces and other ingredients one by one.
Then, closing the lid, John began to control the magic flame to heat the stone pot.
The thermal conductivity of the stone pot is not good. It heats slowly and cools slowly. Therefore, considering the cooking time, John deliberately increased the heat.
The whole time, Hermione was watching suspiciously.
Seeing that John was free now, she immediately said:
"John, are you sure this will taste good?"
"of course."
John spoke, still controlling the magic flame with the wand in his hand.
"But...you just put in the jumping toadstools, gastrodia elata, black root, lovage and a lot of messy magic herbs, right?" Hermione frowned and said, "This doesn't feel like cooking at all. Cooking, but more like…”
"Refining magic potion?"
John finished what Hermione couldn't say.
Hermione nodded quickly.
John smiled softly, cut a few more pieces of ham and put them into the stone pot, and then said:
"What do you think is the difference between cooking and refining potions? They both require careful and delicate processing of materials, roasting and boiling with flames, and finally being eaten. In that case, why can't I What about the techniques, materials and cooking methods for refining potions?”
Hermione opened and closed her mouth a few times in a daze.
She subjectively felt that something was not right, but John's words were so reasonable.
This caused some confusion in her thinking.
An unknown amount of time passed like this, until the sky became a little dark, and John finally opened the lid of the stone pot.
Suddenly, a strong fragrance and billowing white gas rose from the pot, and soon filled the entire hut.
Hermione's brain shut down with a buzzing sound, leaving only the strong fragrance that was wildly stimulating her senses and secreting saliva.
"Gudu-"
Hermione swallowed hard and made an unmistakable sound.
Hagrid and Michelle, who were having a high conversation next to them, also attracted their attention.
John didn't pay attention to their reactions, and finally sprinkled a spoonful of salt, pepper and a handful of chopped green onions into the soup, and then cast a floating spell to control the hot stone pot to float towards Hagrid.
"Hey hey hey hahaha! Here comes the chicken soup!"
John waited for the stone pot to be set, and took the lead in filling a bowl. He took a sip and sighed, "This soup is such a beautiful thing!"
Seeing the expression of enjoyment on John's face, Hagrid and others finally couldn't help it anymore.
They grabbed the spoons and frantically poured soup and meat into their respective bowls, and then started eating in a hurry.
The chicken that has been cooked for a long time with precise heat has become tender and fall off the bones. The chicken soup has a layer of orange-yellow chicken fat floating on the surface, which blocks the evaporation of water and deliciousness. After one sip, you will feel an unimaginable saltiness. The umami flavor mixed with a bit of Chinese herbal medicine went straight to their foreheads, making Hagrid and the others dare not stop swallowing even if they were burned to the point of grinning.
Hagrid even took out a piece of brown bread that was half as big as John's body, and started nibbling on it with chicken soup.
In just a quarter of an hour, a large pot full of chicken soup was completely wiped out.
Hagrid, Hermione and Michelle sat slumped in their respective chairs, their expressions dull, their eyes distracted, and a satisfied smile on their lips.
John was feeling the changes in his body.
After his processing, this pot of chicken soup can no longer be regarded as a dish in the traditional sense, but some kind of medicinal diet, or directly a magic potion.
In other words, John can also absorb the magic power in this kind of food.
Of course, its effect is not as strong as a specialized potion.
The main reason for this situation is that Hagrid is obviously not very good at Potions and Herbology, so his methods of collecting and processing magical materials are very crude.
This has led to a sharp decline in the quality and effectiveness of many materials.
However, it can still have some effect.
For example, the addition of lovage not only adds aroma to chicken soup, but also provides some health benefits.
Blackroot also has liver-protecting effects, and can also provide a small amount of positive emotional support, making people feel happy.
Gastrodia elata and beating toadstools both have a calming and soothing effect.
Combined with blackroot, they are wonderful enough to induce a state of complete relaxation.
"John, the food you cooked is so delicious! This is definitely the best meal I have ever had in my life!"
Hagrid said with emotion.
His tone was lazy when he spoke, his brows and eyes were full of softness, and he was obviously extremely relaxed.
And this is exactly the effect John wants.
"To be honest, this is the most satisfying meal I've ever had. After thinking about it, I think it's because of the quality of the raw materials you have here, especially the magic materials. After all, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."
John narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "So, Hagrid, can you give me some of the magic materials you have here? Or I can pay for them. I have some new dishes and I need these materials. When it’s made, I’ll definitely let you be the first to taste it!”
As soon as this statement came out, Hagrid was delighted at first and subconsciously agreed.
But at the next moment, as if he remembered something, a look of solemnity appeared on his originally extremely relaxed face.
