Before leaving the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid also specially helped Albert dig some matsutake mushrooms, but the number of these things was scarce, and he didn't find a few in the end.

As soon as Hagrid opened the door to the hut, black hounds came out of the hut, running merrily around the group and sniffing around.

Albert crouched down and touched Fangya's head to settle it.

Hagrid took out the matsutake mushrooms from his pocket, put them all on the table, pinched one in his hand, looked it up and down, and asked, "Are you sure this thing is really good for charcoal?"

"Leave it to me!" Albert said confidently, he was as steady as Tarzan on the surface and as steady as Tarzan on the inside.

"If you want to fish, I've got some fresh meat left here, and you can get some bait. Hagrid gestured to the large barrel in the corner.

"What are you?" Albert raised an eyebrow as he looked at the raw meat in the bucket, he had just smelled a smell of blood, which turned out to be coming from the bucket.

"Food for Thestrals. In the winter, it is difficult for Thestrals to find food, so I occasionally go into the woods to feed them to make sure that the younger individuals of the group survive the winter. Hagrid reached out and rubbed Tooth's head, "The rest of this meat is the dinner I prepared for Toothtooth?"

"Are you sure this thing is really edible?" asked Lee Jordan, staring at matsutake mushrooms.

"Absolutely. Hagrid lit the unburned wood in the fireplace, put the copper kettle on it and boiled it, and went outside to fetch Albert a bucket of well water.

Albert took a sharp knife from the kitchen, scraped the soil off the roots of the matsutake mushrooms, cleaned them repeatedly, took out his wand and played a complicated gesture, pointed the tip of the wand at the freshly cleaned matsutake mushrooms and recited the drying spell, and the water vapor immediately evaporated from the matsutake mushrooms.

"You don't look like a first-grader right now. Hagrid looked at Albert, who was casting spells, and sighed softly, "Your use of spells is completely beyond my imagination, it's hard to imagine that you come from a Muggle family?"

"yes!" George sighed softly, "I bet with the two silver sicos in my pocket that this guy can do more magic than a sophomore." ”

Albert didn't pay attention to the ridicule of a few people, and asked, "Hagrid, do you have olive oil here?"

"There's still some left, if you want to use it, I'll get it for you." ”

"Excuse me. ”

Albert used his sharp knife intently to slice the matsutake mushrooms.

"You're too stingy, aren't you!" Li Jordan pinched the matsutake mushroom slices with the tips of his fingers and said disdainfully: "How can you feel when you eat this thin slice?"

"Slice it thinly, and it will be baked later. Albert glared at Lee Jordan and brushed a thin layer of olive oil on top of the matsutake mushrooms. Then he took a piece of wood, turned it into a barbecue grill, picked out a few pieces of charcoal from the fireplace that had not been completely burned out with tongs, put it in the brazier, put the barbecue grill up, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Finally, I feel like a barbecue." ”

"I think you're making too much of a fuss. Fred looked at the busy Albert and rolled his eyes.

"Well, it tastes good. Hagrid put his sausage aside, reached out and picked up the matsutake mushroom that was still roasting and threw it into his mouth, nodding as he chewed, "It's good, it's just that the portion is too small." ”

Fred and the others looked at each other, and they swept away the freshly roasted golden matsutake mushrooms as fast as they could.

"I found it to be pretty chewy. ”

"However, it would be better to add a little salt. ”

"I think I should dip some sauce. ”

"Bastard, you've eaten up my share. Albert saw that his freshly roasted matsutake mushrooms had been snatched up, and he couldn't help but glared at the three Fred.

"Your share is George's!" Fred and Lee Jordan both raised their hands and pointed at George.

"Ahem, there's a lot of it on the plate anyway. George coughed dryly and picked up the sausage: "How about we grill the sausage?"

"I'll wait until I'm done roasting the matsutake mushrooms. Albert glared at the three of them angrily and went on with his work.

The barbecue didn't last long, and the amount of matsutake mushrooms was so small that everyone only got a few slices, but everyone had to admit that the matsutake mushrooms tasted really good, and they had a great aftertaste after eating.

Afterwards, they roasted Hagrid's own sausages and drank a few cups of tea before returning to the Gryffindor common room.

As for the small biscuits that Hagrid made himself, several of them politely refused, after all, the teeth were not so good, and they really couldn't gnaw on that thing.

When we returned to the Gryffindor Lounge, the feast celebrating Gryffindor's victory was not over, but the cakes and pies had been eaten up by everyone, leaving some toffee and a few vegetable pies.

"Where have you gone?" Angelina stared at the four who had just entered through the entrance, puzzled.

"Went into the woods with Hagrid. George said with a smug face.

"The ranger will take you into the woods. Angelina was taken aback.

Albert succeeded in convincing him. Fred explains, "We also heard that Professor Kettleber, who protects magical biology, lives in the woods. ”

"Are you kidding?" Shanna leaned over and joined the conversation a few people were talking about.

"No, it's true, we just happened to meet a witch who was going to visit Professor Kettleber, as if for the sake of the bird snake. Lee Jordan said.

"What is a bird snake?" asked Shanna, curious.

Lee Jordan choked and turned his gaze to Albert, asking the friend for help.

"The bird snake is a winged, two-legged animal from Asia that is able to stretch and retract its body at will, so it can be both large enough to fill all the space and shrink according to the available space. ”

"I'm curious how you know so much about birds and snakes?" George joked, "You don't know Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by heart, do you?"

"Bird and snake eggs are also one of the ingredients in making the elixir," Albert said angrily, "so I checked it out." ”

"By the way, the shell of the bird snake egg is made of sterling silver, which is silver. Albert looked around, looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of several people, nodded with satisfaction and continued, "It is said that the famous writer Gilderoy Lockhart once used bird snake eggs to make a bird snake egg yolk shampoo, and the effect was really able to "lock in the shine", but due to the price and danger, the bird snake egg yolk shampoo was not produced for the mass market, and was only sold on the black market, but it soon disappeared. ”

"Why?" asked Shanna, puzzled.

"Because it's too expensive. Albert said rightly.

"No wonder the elixir is so expensive. Fred sighed.

"It's not that expensive, it's that you can't buy it at all. Albert said angrily: "Later, I deliberately checked the raw materials of the elixir, and found out why basically no one would make that thing, and the raw materials itself are very expensive. If the manufacturing process fails, it will be an unbearable disaster for any pharmacist. ”
