Chapter 1141: Taken off the essence
The kitchen of Harris Island Manor in the middle of Lake was designed with the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff hanging here, although she was also heralded by Alan into the living room and did not leave the frames in the kitchen.
It looks somewhat similar to the Hogwarts kitchen, a large room with a high ceiling, larger than the dining room, surrounded by glittering copper pots and basins, while the original Hogwarts kitchen food storage cabinets that had been enchanted are completely missing.
Instead, the positions were filled with beautiful, diamond-like jumping lights, and the walls were filled with clocks of various sizes, from grandfather-standing grandfather clocks to travel clocks, and a rapid, never-ending ticking sound filled the corner, like the neat footsteps of thousands of tiny processions, and the diamond-like bright jumping light came from the bell-shaped crystal glass covers in front of these clocks, in which various ingredients were stored, and they were constantly changing their shapes— The cut lamb changes its quality in this time zone, and although this does not bring it back from a piece of meat to a sheep, it does allow it to grow from lamb to old lamb and then all over again.
In addition to the traditional large fireplace and oven on the other end, Hufflepuffs have also installed a number of modern kitchenware here - many of which are experimental Muggle kitchenware wizards being developed by Umbrella, which are not yet on the market, but a few prototypes have been given priority to the company's big bosses.
But Allen, who had been in the kitchen for a while, hadn't used them yet, and in fact, he hadn't cooked until he realized that it took a lot of practice to make a good meal - but fortunately, he was self-aware that he didn't have to choose things today, and he himself was still fighting on the board with those colored ball fish with two long legs and a spherical body.
Allen, who has not practiced knife skills, although his cutting skills are not perfect, but at least, his attainments in magic are not bad, he didn't hold any tools, and stroked the fish body in the air with his hands like treating a fish, and then the colored ball fish went crazy, and began to kick around with its long webbed feet, and began to try to bite Allen with his mouth, because the fish suddenly found himself in pain, and was stripped naked by the wizard in front of him.
Maggie, dressed in a little blue dress, followed Alan, as Alan's little assistant, and with the kind of protection from the time-turner made by Luna, she was putting some old mushrooms into the bell-shaped crystal glass cover to make them tenderer.
Originally, Blake's Kreacher hid behind the apron rack at the door, his eyes were full of jealousy and secretly watched Alan and Maggie's every move, he flicked his big ears, which were a little itchy by the straps hanging down from the apron, and muttered: "Old Kreacher is much better than that little guy, and the mistress used to hand over all the housework to Kreacher, and Kreacher is the best... Oh, how can you let the master do it himself... It's a shame for house-elves!Look, what will others say if they know it..."
When Penelope entered the kitchen, she heard the grunt under the shelf, and she walked over with a light stride, stretched out her long arm to reach down a small floral apron, and then saw the house-elf hidden underneath.
Penelope snorted coldly, stretched out his long legs, and kicked Kreacher aside just enough not to really hurt the old elf - only then did Kreacher realize that his peeking behavior was discovered by the Muggle-born fierce witch in front of him, and he knew that the other party was not easy to provoke, and he was ready to slip away with an apology in his mouth, but the long nose and somewhat bloodshot eyes were even less cute in the eyes of Penelo, who usually had a bad relationship with Kreacher.
Hearing the movement behind him and the sound of the other party squirming in his apron, Alan suspended the fish in his hand in the air so that it could not borrow its strength, and then turned to look: "Penelope, are you hungry? ”
"Alan, you've been busy for a long time," Penelope looked at Alan's pale and slender hands, licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, she imagined some of the delicious things that these hands could make, and then shook her head firmly, driving those delicious dishes out of her mind, and raised a smile at Alan's voice and changed the tone a little, "You tell me how to do it, I'll do it." ”
"Don't believe in my craft?" Alan smiled and turned to walk over, "Then help me do some preparations, and I'll do it myself when I know how to cook... Otherwise, the other people who called back would have laughed at me, wouldn't they?" and gently pressed Penelope's shoulder to turn her around and began to tie her apron.
At this time, Maggie, who had been silent, beckoned to Alan on the side of the glass cover, and Alan looked at the other party with some confusion, and found that Maggie used her gloved prosthetic leg to catch the fattest of several colored ball fish, and then looked at Alan with a blank eye.
Alan paused for a few seconds to understand what the faithful house-elf meant, and he smiled bitterly and nodded slightly to Maggie, only to find that the other party had put away the fish—she was going to keep it for her pregnant mistress.
Penelope, who was wearing an apron by Alan, lost the alertness of the Aurors, she almost put her back in Alan's arms, and she was very happy with this state, she turned her head to look at Alan and asked in a sharp voice, "So Alan, what should I do? Is there a recipe? What kind of dish?"
"Help me cut some mutton slices on the frozen mutton, do you remember the mutton soup you made last semester? This time it's also Qiu Zhang's dish, and the taste is different from last time... The recipe is in my head... Hmm, don't look at me like that, you know Cedric and Cho Chang are getting married, right?!" Alan looked at the change in the female Auror's expression a little helplessly, he twitched his hand between his chest and abdomen and the other party's back so that he could continue to tie the apron strap under this body-to-body squeeze, "I just went to Cho Zhang's parents' house today to ask for some condiments, and I only saw her parents..."
"I'm not... Alan—" Penelope's pale face began to flush a little again, "Morgan Lefay is pregnant, and pregnant women should be more afraid of these fishy things. Neither Penelope nor Lunn told the rest of the family that the lamb they had eaten that day was a lost pet from Aberforth, the Hog's Head Bar.
"Huh?" Alan was a little surprised to find that he hadn't thought about it so much, and he asked with some uncertainty, "What about the fish?
"Morgan Lefay is fine, the fish doesn't smell fishy..."Penelope was a little puzzled by the title, "What should I do with the fish?"
"I've prepared three kinds of food today... I think there should be no problem with dairy products that I usually eat, but if the mutton mother doesn't like to eat them, then I have to prepare some other meat..."Although Alan caught the other party's expression, he still removed his hand from the other party's back with a natural expression, "Let me show you... Maggie, please help me grab two. Alan asked the house-elf to send the ballfish over, and then concocted the scales on the body of the ballfish that began to kick around according to the law, and then teleported the internal organs of the fish out of the belly of the fish, and after quickly causing its death, he began to move carefully with his hands little by little, "This process is a little troublesome, I want to ensure the integrity of the fish when removing the bones, so I didn't cut them open, so I used this stupid method." ”
"Giggles..."Penelope seemed to be amused by Alan's movements, she put one hand around her chest, and the other hand touched her white chin and said a little smugly, "Look at the senior sister, I have a more convenient spell... Teach you a hand... Lockhart, that guy used it to take out a lot of Death Eaters. ”
Penelope didn't wait for Allen to respond, she started to do it after she finished speaking, she directly and cleanly tied the two long legs of the remaining colored ball fish around her body, and the guy who was kicking around in Allen's hands before was as motionless as if he had been cast a petrification spell, "The merfolk will treat the colored ball fish as a scourge, and will tie its long legs into a knot, and let it drift away with the water." Penelope then removed the scales and entrails in the same way that Alan had done before, but then she waved her finger and pointed at the lost balls and shook them, and shouted a spell, "Fishbone Fishbone Repair." ”
Under the effect of magic, the poor little creature collapsed a little in an instant, and it lost all the bones of its body.
"Well done!Senpai!" Alan echoed Penelope, recalling the other man's spell, "I remember this spell... Lockhart invented it on purpose, this guy didn't expect it to be hidden so deep that it was more powerful than I thought..."
"No... He didn't really know how to heal at first... When I was teaching little Patricia, I heard her describe how good Lockhart was... I'll call that ghost for questioning..."Penelope raised an eyebrow, "It turns out that he did a wrong job of pronunciation and wand shaking when using this healing spell, but it's the same as the levitation spell that can summon a bison in his chest... It's an attack spell... It's not very powerful, but it's very practical, and it's no problem to use it in cooking..."
"When the university is really formal in education, I don't think there will be so many newly invented spells..."Alan paused, "Well, sorry not to say this, Penelope then you can help me deal with the other colored balls, I just happened to make a copper pot..."
"Weller, what about after that, is there anything else to deal with?" asked Penelope.
"I'm going to do it alone, it's rare to have such a thought, although maybe the craftsmanship is a little worse... But this is the first time I've cooked for you, so it's more meaningful for me to do it myself..."Alan explained to Penelope in a somewhat unconfident tone, then paused abruptly and admonished, "After processing the fish, you can help me get the gramophone in the living room to the dining room, the taste is worse I plan to make it up with special effects and background music... Uh, I mean a plus..."
