Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 194 Talents with Superb Craftsmanship

Basically, after finishing the morning study at the Malfoys, we brothers would go home. When we got home, Vincent and Gregory would often come to our house and prepare lunch casually with Aunt Ann and others. After lunch, we would study with the Muggle learning materials made by Weasley, and Vincent and Gregory would also study with us. Then, everyone would have afternoon tea together and talk about some cooking things, and then they would go back.

The twins were delighted with the lunch Vincent and Gregory cooked. Their brothers always said they must eat these delicacies when they came back from Hogwarts. The twins also developed new kitchen utensils because of their requests. When their brothers came back from Hogwarts, they were very surprised by these delicacies. Although Fred and George were looking forward to going to Hogwarts, they still felt disappointed when they thought they would not be able to eat the meals cooked by Vincent and Gregory anymore. To make up for it, they even used the time-stopping device to pack a bunch of food to take to Hogwarts.

Sometimes, Draco and Harry would come to our house for lunch. After all, who doesn’t like good food? Draco might have been curious about these common dishes because his family had always been a high-end family.

Draco said his parents wouldn't let him cook because the elves would do the cooking. I told him that even if he didn't cook, he could give the elves delicious recipes and have them make them. He suddenly understood and later got his parents' permission to start cooking at home.

We went to the kitchens of both families and bought the missing utensils and seasonings with the money given by Mr. Lucius. As their reading and writing skills continued to improve, I also ordered popular foreign cookbooks from shops in various foreign communities in London and gave them to them. I also attached dictionaries of various languages ​​and told them that it would be very helpful to master foreign languages. Although they were confused by the Weasley textbooks we used, they made rapid progress in learning multiple languages.

Their passion for food is incredible. They can be a bit gluttonous, but that's OK because they're so focused on their culinary studies. I ask them to give me their best recipes.

I ordered more cookbooks for them from all over the world. They studied and experimented with various dishes. They would come to our house to cook during the day, and return home to study cooking with the elves at night. Their cooking skills have reached an amazing level. However, since the Crabbe and Goyle families are not well-off, their daily meals are mainly made of cheap ingredients and tend to be popular.

However, this is an opportunity. I suggested to Mr. Lucius that we open a public canteen for manual laborers in the magic world. In recent years, the magic world has been economically prosperous and the number of construction workers has increased. This kind of restaurant should be very popular. In addition, Noct Lane is no longer as dark as before, so I decided to open a public canteen for manual laborers there. The rent is cheap, and as a start, this scale is just right.

I asked Vincent and Gregory to design a menu for the public canteen, writing recipes that were low-cost but tasty and filling, and I reminded them that as a public restaurant, the cooking process should not be too complicated.

We held a tasting of popular dishes at the Malfoys' house, and although it seemed a little out of place, we carefully checked the cost and cooking process. Even Mr. Lucius, who was used to eating high-end dishes, agreed that these dishes were different from his usual taste, but still very delicious.

Everything went very quickly afterwards. We selected a farm run by a pure-blooded noble to supply the food, rented a suitable shop, renovated the store, hired and trained chefs and waiters, and opened the business soon. Mr. Lucius's efficiency was amazing.

The public canteen quickly became a popular restaurant. The food was cheap, generous and rich in flavor, making it popular among manual laborers. In the evening, it also served drinks and snacks, and people from Noct Alley kept coming in droves.

We then opened various stores. Mr. Lucius generously built a studio for Vincent and Gregory, where they continued to study cooking every day.

After Vincent and Gregory made money, they began to look for food all over the world, and often shared the food they purchased from all over the world with us. They would send me some food according to my taste, of course, completely free of charge. And the recipes they developed were also generously shared with me.

The Crabbe and Goyle families, who had been in a tight financial situation before, have now become very wealthy, and I have received great gratitude from them for this. Even when I go to their stores, I am never asked to pay. However, I feel embarrassed to go there all the time, so I only go there two or three times a month. However, Mr. Lucius said to me, "Just treat it as an inspection," so I now go to their store for dinner about half of the time every week.

Although they haven't reached the stage of going to Hogwarts, I heard that they hired some people who can use magic to work as chefs. In order to run these stores, they also often order kitchen utensils from Fred and George, which makes them very high-quality customers. However, the twins did gradually become rich... and even opened stores in the Muggle world. Because their food is really delicious, they are also trying to find suitable employees. They have gathered a lot of unemployed but skilled talents from Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. It is said that they hired Squibs in the stores in the Muggle world. Those who look promising will be sent to Muggle cooking schools to study, or sent to famous restaurants around the world to practice. It is not necessary to be a powerful wizard, as long as you have a keen sense of taste, dexterous hands and a passion for work, even a Squib can do the job. Moreover, as long as you can use some simple magic, such as activating the kitchen utensils made by the twins, it is no problem even if you don't know magic at all. The salary is not bad, and the food is delicious, so it is said that there is no shortage of manpower. In addition, the employees in the store need to be able to read recipes, so the number of adults who come to study in the learning facilities has also increased.

Having said that, the food in the wizarding world, or rather the food in the UK, is really average. To be honest, the food I cook is even better than that food. The food at the Malfoys' house is an exception, and it tastes very good. Their cooking style is closer to continental European cuisine than typical British cuisine. Therefore, Vincent and Gregory always devour their food when they are at the Malfoys' house. After all, there is a big gap between the aristocracy and other classes in the UK, and the Malfoys are authentic aristocrats.

I didn't expect that a family of pure-blood nobles like this could actually improve the employment rate in the wizarding world. Not only Hogwarts, but also more job opportunities for those magical people who have not attended Hogwarts. This is very important. Although I heard that the school is in preparation, it has not yet been fully established. Even if the school is built, what should be done with those who cannot enroll is also a problem. However, they are already actively recruiting people. At first, Vincent and Gregory's parents lived a leisurely life, but later they seemed to become very busy, and they also mobilized some relatives and acquaintances' families to help with the work.
