Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

What Grindelwald didn't know was that Elena had been busy in the kitchen for at least two or three hours preparing this bowl of soup.

You know, when making spicy soup, a soup base with a long aftertaste is the most important.

Each traditional Hu spicy soup restaurant has its own spice recipe. It is usually prepared from a variety of natural Chinese herbs in proportion, then pepper and chili are added, and bone soup is used as the base to create a basic soup base.

With the advancement of science and technology, in the past life, in addition to some old shops that still insisted on cooking according to their own secret recipes, many spicy spicy soup shops and roadside mobile food stalls began to use ready-made spicy spicy soup powder. As a result, the taste differences between the various sects of hot and spicy soup are getting smaller and smaller. The taste of the hot and spicy soup that Elena can prepare is naturally the "machine taste" of later generations.

However, in Nurmengard Castle where food resources are extremely scarce, insufficient basic food and ingredients are the biggest problem.Not to mention the soup made from various natural spices, ginger, and beef and sheep bones, even a little spicy soup powder is a luxury.

Fortunately, the pot of cabbage and salty broth she had made on a whim before going to bed last night broadened her mind. In order to test some subsequent speculation, she slightly increased the portion of the vegetable soup.

Sure enough, when Elena woke up in the morning, she found that the large pot of "special" cabbage salt pork soup had been completely drank. This made Elena, who was still a little uneasy, completely relieved.

——Because, in order to help Grindelwald relieve pain and calm his nerves, Elena deliberately found some poppy shells in the small pile of basic potions left by Dumbledore according to the textbook, and threw them into the vegetable soup together. (After cooking, of course, take it out and destroy the corpse to eliminate traces).

After confirming that Grindelwald was not a top potion master with the "God's Tongue", the first thing Elena did after getting up was to once again carefully search the treasures left by Dumbledore.

After comparing the elementary potions textbook and the elementary herbal medicine textbook, she thought she had completely understood Dumbledore's hidden meaning. Obviously, the additional elementary potion materials that appeared in the box were not used for Grindelwald to teach her at all. From Potions.

All the items that appear in this "magic refrigerator" that has the functions of refrigeration, insurance, and expansion must have only one label, and that is - ingredients!

Even more fortunately, most of the boxes of spices collected by Elena during her time in the orphanage were sent to the castle by Dumbledore. Although there was no stone mill, but with the explosive spell that deliberately controlled the strength, Elena It is still very easy to turn more than ten spices such as pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, etc. into fine powders and mix them together.

The strong taste and color of the spicy soup are enough to further cover up the taste of the potion ingredients she is about to flexibly add in it. Elena has always believed in one truth: there are only zero and countless times for everything, as long as Grindelwald eats it If you do it for the first time, then even if things are exposed later, there won't be too much resistance to continue pushing forward.

Theoretically speaking, the base soup of Hu spicy soup is usually made of whole lamb bones and simmered for more than five hours. After the bone marrow essence has penetrated into the broth, the bones are removed, and the prepared spice powder is added to continue cooking.

Sheep bones are definitely not available, and the skeletons of slightly larger magical creatures will have to wait until the upper-grade potions class to gradually get involved. Therefore, after Elena carefully studied the textbook, she chose to use it to make healing materials. Potion of lionfish spine.

At this time, the thick-backed kitchen knife produced by Zwilling came into play. In order to shorten the cooking time, Elena took a risk and tried to match a standard dose of "rua". The hard lionfish spine was Under the sharp and heavy slash, it quickly turned into pieces of snow-white and delicious ribs.

The ginger root in the primary potion ingredient is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise. It completely makes up for the last link missing in the spicy spicy soup base, ensuring that the pot of spicy spicy soup can fully exert its effect of repelling cold and warming the stomach. (Expand to view: Note [-])

What really took Elena a lot of time and energy was actually the production of water gorgon powder and gluten.

Although Elena's luggage contained a small amount of flour that Benite specially bought from the market, it was only in the most basic powder form, and she still needed to complete all the preparations by hand.

Elena needs to constantly rub and wash the dough mixed with water. Only with the constant squeezing by external forces, the wheat gluten molecules in the flour will interweave into a long network. Then the kneaded gluten will be filtered and washed. The water that has been soaked with gluten is the so-called water gravy.

At this time, continue to knead the gluten until the gluten becomes elastic and has a certain degree of toughness. Then pull off the gluten in small groups and stretch them into thin slices. At this time, you can slowly put them into the pot one by one. .

The pores of the hand-kneaded gluten can absorb the flavor of the soup very well, making it juicy and tough. When the heat is almost done, pick it up and cut it into pieces, and then add it back to the spicy soup at the end to bear the responsibility for people. Morning energy expenditure.

After removing the gluten and cutting it into pieces, according to the normal process, you should add an appropriate amount of cooked beef and mutton, day lily, and sweet potato vermicelli and cook it for a long time - unfortunately, these things do not exist in Nurmengard Castle at all. .

For cooked beef and mutton, you can use salty bacon, which is also red meat, instead. For day lilies, simply use cabbage and sedative valerian. As for sweet potato vermicelli, shred the vine twigs of Nurmengard Castle. Finally, it is also a very good substitute.

The most critical thing is the last 10 minutes or so, when the soup is reduced to a juice after adding the gravy, soy sauce, refined salt, and MSG. Seasoned chefs will adjust the heat at this time and use the outer ring to bring it to a boil (that is, don’t let the center of the pot become the main subject. Hot spots, just add a piece of stuff to cushion it), causing the whole pot of spicy soup to roll and circulate from the outside to the inside, and the soup will gradually converge and merge, without leakage or layering.

Facts have proved that such tedious and conscientious efforts are completely worth it. By piecing together things here and there, Elena whipped up a large pot of something with at least [-]% to [-]% similar taste in Nurmengard Castle in Austria. Magic potion version of spicy soup."

Under Elena's expectant gaze, Grindelwald hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but pick up a spoon and scoop a small spoonful into his mouth. The sour, spicy, pungent, fragrant, and fresh tastes were instantly felt by the first generation Dark Lord. His taste buds exploded, and a warm current flowed down the throat of the spicy soup that quickly spread to every corner of the old man's body. Even the tips of his fingers could feel the warmth.

"How is it, not bad?" Elena said with a satisfied smile after seeing the surprise and relief on Grindelwald's face.

"It has a very unique taste, but that's all. It's a huge waste to spend precious time thinking about your appetite - you can simply boil a few potatoes. The extra time is spent practicing magic. It’s much more meaningful than that.”

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, and while slowly drinking the spicy soup, he looked at Elena with a proud expression on his face and said, "I really don't understand why a talented little wizard like you is so persistent. Don’t worry about food.”

"You don't understand. Only in this way can I know that [I] am still alive." Elena shook her head slightly and whispered as if talking to herself, holding her cheek and looking at the bowl of steaming spicy soup. , the eyes are particularly complicated.

"Huh? What did you just say?" Grindelwald frowned.

"It's nothing. I mean, since it's delicious, don't talk so much. The spicy soup won't taste good when it's cold."

Elena, without answering Grindelwald's question, stretched out her hand, pushed the bowl of spicy soup in front of Grindelwald, and smiled slightly, "Hurry up and finish your breakfast. I have been looking forward to today's meal all night." What about the class content, what magic text are we learning today?"
