Chapter 909: Raw minced pork hedgehog
In the tower, Alan and Luna had just returned to smell the rich aroma of cooked beef, and the two of them were hooked by this aroma and walked to the kitchen.
The dining room and kitchen are brightly lit, and the Gublai Flame and the Immortal Flame emit a bright but not dazzling light. The steaming half-finished dishes in the kitchen were already seductively coloured, and the silver and glassware that filled the food glittered and the overhead lights echoed each other.
"The beef is almost fried, take it out and set it aside. Morgan Lefay's voice was a little more excited than usual.
"No need to wash the pot, pour in the beef kidneys and stir-fry for a while, then add the onion and cook for three minutes. Helga's voice rang out.
Alan walked over curiously, Penelope's short hair, who was still on vacation and didn't go to work, was pinned behind her ear by a shiny diamond hairpin, wearing an apron with a baby yellow duck that didn't match her own style, and she was using her wand to direct the beef kidneys to flip and stir-fry in the pot, and the sticky gravy stewed in the other pot was bubbling, and the rising heat made Penelo's face flushed.
Morgan Lefay and Helgabi, who had come out of the tavern in the portrait, walked to guide the female apprentice in the cooking in front of them, while Maggie and Twinkle also crouched on the corner cabinet, noting that there was a small notebook on the side to memorize things - they knew the tastes and preferences of the master without doing it himself.
"Young Master, Miss Lovegood!" With a snap, the house-elf Kreacher appeared in front of Allen, he bowed deeply to Alan and Luna, and explained with shame, "Kreacher also makes beef kidneys pie, and the hostess said that they have to do it themselves, and they don't need old Kreacher to cook, Kreacher is not a qualified house-elf!"
Kreacher, who had been at Harris's house for a few days at this time, was completely different from what he had seen in Sirius's house before, he was no longer dirty after being forced to bathe every day under orders, the fluffy and snow-white of his two big bat-like ears, and his dress was no longer just a dirty rag around his waist, and his whole body was almost naked.
In order to circumvent the rule that his master's clothes are free for the house-elves, Morgan Lefay ordered him to put on a small dress that was actually made for him, which made him look a little like a butler.
After asking, Kreacher glanced at Maggie and Twinkle, who were still watching Penelope cooking, and reported to Alan in a voice that he thought no one could hear: "It's really unruly and uneducated, as a house-elf, not only did he appear in front of so many people, but now he doesn't come to say hello when he sees the master, it's too unusual!"
Kreacher's whisper was so noisy that Maggie and Twinkle hurriedly teleported over to say hello, and then Maggie grabbed Kreacher with her gloved prosthetic leg and bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry young master, Maggie hasn't taught Kreacher to adapt to the rules of the Harris family, and his old family concept has had too much influence on his cognition." β
"It's okay, Kreacher has been at Black's house for too long. Alan rubbed Maggie's head, then looked at Kreacher and feigned a threat, "Remember to give your elixir to drink on time, don't keep thinking about hanging your head on the wall." β
Luna tossed the empty Coke bottle to Maggie, and Sparkle took it, and they bowed again, and the house-elves returned to their previous cabinet.
"You came back just in time, and I cooked a little too much today... Daisy, Emily, and Fleur have no talent or interest in cooking, and neither of them can inherit my and Helgar's skills. Penelope made us a pot of mutton soup before, and I realized that she was very talented, and she also mastered the heat of this beef kidney pie very well. Morgan Lefay had already turned her attention to this, and she waited for Alan to finish talking to the house-elves before she spoke - although Luna and Hermione also had no talent for cooking, it was only for the sake of her position that Morgan Lefay was not in a position to speak out.
Luna stood on tiptoe and looked at the cupboard, sniffing vigorously, "Penelope is much better at cooking than me." β
Originally, seeing Luna and the Coke bottle in the sparkle made Penelope snort coldly in his heart and felt a little unhappy, but after hearing Alan's mother's words, Penelope, who felt that she was better than several other girls in cooking, raised her head and shook her hair, smiling, and could be recognized by Morgan Lefay, which made Penelo's mood high, she raised her head and smiled at Alan, and then raised her chin again, her cooking skills are much better than this crazy girl, and Morgan Lefay chose to inherit her cooking skills by herself- Thinking of this, Penelope smiled at Alan again, lowered his head and focused on the puff pastry in front of him.
Morgan Lefay waved his wand and commanded some ingredients to fly to the board, the knife flew over automatically, and he quickly chopped the vegetables, "Since you're back for dinner, don't go back to school to eat, I'll ask Hermione to bring Emily and Helena back too, and make something you like to eat... Emily and you have similar tastes, since I was a child, I don't like raw pork minced hedgehog, don't touch it later, I basically haven't done it when you two are at home on weekdays, I don't know if you will come back today, so I taught Penelope, Owen and Albert to eat it for breakfast..."
"Thank you, Mom..." The family's dedication to these little things made Alan feel very warm, he had never paid attention to these small details before.
Hearing this, Luna focused on the plate of minced pork and hedgehogs, between which there were still blood streaks in between, and Penelope had already pinched out the shape of a small hedgehog, and she cut the onion into strips to make the thorns on the hedgehog's back: "Helga, you seem to have made something similar to it for me?" I remember sprinkling black pepper and salt on buttered bread..."
"Rowena, if you want to eat what I cooked, just say it..."Helga smiled and glanced at Luna to know that she was greedy, "You can't eat what I make myself, but Morgan Lefay and Penelope can do it, and I sometimes wonder if there was something wrong with the Sorting Hat, and I didn't assign them to our Hufflepuff..."
"Helga, actually, the Sorting Hat did think so when I was in the Sorting House..."Morgan Lefay smiled and looked at Luna, "Luna, what do you want to eat? β
"The chin meat of the large-mouthed colored ball fish~" Luna recalled the memories of a thousand years ago, staring at the bulging eyes and opening her mouth.
"Rowena, don't be crazy! Largemouth ballfish are dying out in our time!" said Helgar, in the portrait, in a dismayed manner.
"Then the chin meat of the colored ball fish~" Luna looked like she had no regrets and was very obedient and changed the menu.
Penelope, who was inconvenient to have a seizure at this time, was very relieved to find that Ms. Hufflepuff had said what she wanted to shout, she raised an eyebrow at Luna and then faced Alan: "Alan, what do you want to eat at night?"
"The thick broth that Helga makes~Penelope has worked hard for you~" Alan smiled at the fat witch Helga who reported the name of the dish and the portrait, "But I have to go downstairs to get something first..."
"What do you want, young master! Order Kreacher to fetch it! Kreacher is willing to serve the young master. A bullfrog-like voice rang out, and Kreacher expressed his loyalty, and Maggie tried to hold him in pain.
"Kreacher, you just stay here and learn to cook, you can't get in where you put your stuff. Alan waved his hand and Luna turned and walked down the stairs.
Hearing Alan's words, everyone didn't continue to ask, Penelope's hand was stunned, she lowered her head, and there was a sense of frustration in her heart, which was a little happy because of Alan's mother's approval, she was able to participate less and less in this kind of business, and the reading of the Nether scroll was as slow as the rest of the Harris family, and it would take a lot of time to turn the obscure knowledge in it into her own strength.
Kreacher, who had come to the tower before and was briefed by Maggie, silently stepped aside, still shocked in his heartβin his original mind, he thought that Black was the noblest, oldest and most well-established family in the wizarding world. But when he came to the Harris family, the elf's cognition was refreshed, and his new master family was not only powerful in the wizarding world, but also not an upstart family, and the things looted from the Black family's collection only accounted for a small part of this mage tower...
Alan pressed his hand to the sensory imprint on his body as he went downstairs, and after informing Hermione, he contacted his father Owen: "Father, I just got a message from Lucius that Tom has sent the Death Eaters back to England, he plans to carry out terrorist attacks in Muggle society, and unlike last time, they plan to fight a guerrilla war with our Ministry of Magic. β
It wasn't until a few minutes after the message passed that Owen's voice rang in Allen's heart, "The Bulgarian Ministry of Magic has made some trouble, I'll take care of it and I'll talk about it when I go home with Lunne." Hearing that it was Muggle society that was attacked, Owen was not too anxious.
