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

You must know that the soup base with a long aftertaste is the most important thing to boil Hu spicy soup.

Each of the all-known Hu La soup shops has its own recipe for spices, which are usually made from a variety of natural Chinese herbs in proportion, followed by pepper and chili peppers, and bone broth as a base to create the basic soup base.

With the advancement of science and technology, in the previous life, in addition to some old shops still insisting on boiling according to their own secret recipes, many Hu spicy soup shops and roadside mobile food stalls began to use ready-made Hu spicy soup powder for blending, which also led to the taste difference between the various styles of Hu spicy soup is getting smaller and smaller.

However, in this extremely scarce castle of Nümongaard, the lack of basic ingredients and ingredients is the biggest problem. Not to mention all kinds of natural spices, ginger, beef and sheep skeletons to boil out of broth, even a little spicy soup powder is a luxury.

Fortunately, the pot of cabbage and salted broth that she had a whim to stew before going to bed last night broadened her mind, and in order to verify some subsequent speculation, she specially increased the amount of vegetable soup slightly.

Sure enough, when Elena got up in the morning, she found that the big pot of "special" cabbage salted broth had been drunk cleanly, which made Elena, who was still a little uneasy, completely relieved.

- Because, in order to help Grindelwald relieve pain and calm her nerves, Elena deliberately found some poppy shells in the small pile of basic potions left by Dumbledore, compared them with the textbooks, and threw them together in the vegetable soup to boil (of course, after cooking, they were fished out and destroyed).

Confirming that Grindelwald was not a top-tier Potions Master with the "Tongue of God", the first thing Elena did when she woke up was to seriously retrieve the treasure left behind by Dumbledore once again.

After comparing the primary potions textbook with the elementary herb textbook, she thought she had thoroughly understood what Dumbledore was hiding, and it was clear that the extra elementary potions materials that appeared in the box were not used by Grindelwald to teach her Potions class.

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

And even more fortunately, most of the boxes of spices collected by Elena during the orphanage were sent to the castle by Dumbledore, although there was no stone grinding, but with the explosion charm that deliberately controlled the strength, Elena still easily turned more than ten kinds of spices such as pepper, pepper, star anise, and cinnamon into fine powders and mixed them together.

The strong flavor and color of the spicy soup were enough to further mask the taste of the potion ingredients she was about to add to it, and Elena had always believed in one truth: everything was only zero and countless times, and as long as Grindelwald ate the first time, then even if the matter was revealed, there would not be much resistance to continue pushing.

Theoretically speaking, the base soup of Hu spicy soup is usually made of whole lamb bones in a pot, boiled for more than five hours, and after the bone marrow essence has penetrated into the broth, the skeleton is removed, and then the prepared spice powder is added to continue to boil.

Sheep bones are definitely not available, and the skeletons of slightly larger magical creatures will not be gradually touched upon until the Potions class in the senior grades, so Elena carefully studied the textbook and chose the lionfish backbone for making healing potions.

In order to shorten the boiling time, Elena riskily tried to match a standard dose of "rua", and the hard lionfish backbone quickly turned into a piece of snow-white and delicious ribs under the sharp and heavy slash.

The ginger root in the primary potion material is undoubtedly an unexpected joy, completely making up for the last link missing in the Hu spicy soup base soup, ensuring that the cold and stomach warming effect of this pot of Hu spicy soup can be fully exerted. (See more: Note 1)

What really took a lot of time and energy for Elena was actually the preparation of the starch and gluten.

Although Elena had a small amount of flour that Bennett bought from the bazaar in her suitcase, it was only in the most basic form of powder, and she had to prepare everything by hand.

Elena needs to be mixed with water and good dough to constantly scrub, only in the continuous squeezing of external forces, the wheat gluten molecules in the flour will be intertwined into a continuous network, and then the kneaded gluten is filtered, and the water that has washed the gluten is the so-called water starch.

At this time, continue to knead the gluten until the gluten begins to be elastic and has a certain toughness, and then pull the gluten down one by one and stretch it into thin sheets, at this time you can slowly put them into the pot one by one.

The holes of the gluten kneaded by hand can absorb the taste of the soup well, juicy and tough, almost when the heat is picked up and cut into pieces, and then re-added to the spicy soup at the end, bearing the energy consumption of people in the morning.

After the gluten is removed and cut into pieces, according to the normal process, an appropriate amount of cooked beef and mutton, daylily, and sweet potato vermicelli should be put in for a long time to boil - unfortunately, none of the above things are in the castle of Newmengard.

Cooked beef and lamb can be replaced with salted bacon, which is also red meat, daylily is simply replaced with cabbage and calming valerian, and sweet potato vermicelli is also a good substitute for shredded vines from Newmengard Castle.

The most important thing is that in the last ten minutes or so, after adding the water starch, soy sauce, refined salt, and monosodium glutamate, the soup will be collected into juice, and the veteran chef will adjust the heat at this time, and use the outer ring to roll (that is, don't let the center of the pot become the main hot spot, just add a piece of stuff to cushion), so that the whole pot of spicy soup rolls from the outside to the inside, and the soup gradually blends inwardly, and there will be no leakage and stratification.

It turned out that such a tedious and serious effort was completely worth it, and with the help of patchwork, Elena made a big pot of "potion version of Hu spicy soup" with at least seventy or eighty percent of the taste similar in the castle of Neumengard, Austria.

In Elena's expectant gaze, Grindelwald hesitated, but couldn't help but pick up a spoon and scoop a small spoonful into his mouth, sour, spicy, spicy, fragrant, fresh, all kinds of flavors instantly exploded on the taste buds of the original Dark Lord, and a warm current quickly spread to every corner of the old man's body along the throat swallowed spicy soup, even the tips of his fingers could feel the warmth.

"How's it going, isn't it?" Elena said with a satisfied smile as she looked at the involuntary exclamation and relief on Grindelwald's face.

"It's a unique taste, but that's about it. It's a waste of precious time to think about your appetite – just a few potatoes can be cooked. Extra time for practicing magic makes more sense than that. ”

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, drank the spicy soup unhurriedly, and looked at Elena with a smug expression on his face and said, "I really don't understand why a talented little wizard like you would be so obsessed with food. ”

"You don't understand, only then can I know that [I] am still alive. Elena shook her head slightly, and whispered as if talking to herself, holding her cheeks and looking at the steaming bowl of spicy soup, her eyes were extremely complicated.

"Hmm, what did you just say?" Grindelwald frowned.

"It's nothing, I mean, don't talk so much if it's delicious, Hu spicy soup won't taste good if it's cold. ”

Elena, without answering Grindelwald's question, stretched out her hand, pushed the bowl of spicy soup in front of Grindelwald again, and smiled slightly, "Hurry up and finish breakfast, I've been looking forward to today's class content for a whole night, what magic are we going to learn today?"
