"Uh-huh, ha~"

Hermione's throat rolled, her little face flushed, and she let out a hot breath.

Closing her eyes and pursing her lips, the brown-haired little Lori recalled the taste that flashed on the tip of her tongue just now, and couldn't help but look at the mashed potatoes with a magical flavor in Elena's hand.

Hermione Granger is no stranger to the most common food in the UK, but in eleven years, no serving of mashed potatoes has brought her such a distinctive taste and visual sensation.

"If I'm not mistaken, Elena, you added honey to it, right?" Hannah licked her lips, thoughtful.

As she often helps out in the tavern at home, Hannah has a little knowledge of cooking, and she is vaguely aware of the sweetness hidden behind the food.

"That's right, there's actually milk. ”

Elena smiled and nodded, cooked mashed potatoes and honey have a good auxiliary effect on regulating the stomach and smoothing the lungs and invigorating qi, and eating the two together is the most suitable breakfast staple.

However, the most suitable way to mix the potatoes is to add an appropriate amount of honey and stir them when they are half-cooked, so that the honey has enough time to slowly penetrate into the gradually softening potatoes.

Therefore, Elena added a small amount of warm milk to ensure that the honey mixes well with the already formed mashed potatoes without being too sweet, and at the same time, the subtle milky aroma will further enhance the flavor of the mashed potatoes.

"I see. ”

Hermione nodded knowingly, and took a closer look at the mashed potatoes in Elena's hand.

Unlike the cookie-cutter, monotonous mashed potatoes on other Hogwarts tables, what catches your eye is a more viscous and mellow pureed potato with a pale golden amber texture, and between the mashed potatoes, it seems to shimmer with the breath of spring.

"No, it's not just honey. ”

Hermione suddenly frowned, shook her head, and said seriously.

It's not as if there's something else besides honey and milk – the more important finishing touch.

Hermione Granger rubbed her eyes vigorously, and a few bits of dark green were scattered among the mashed potatoes in Elena's hand, making the whole food look extra tempting.

Closing her eyes, a wisp of fragrance mixed with the mellow fragrance of potatoes poured into her nasal cavity, making her whole body feel refreshed.

That's the smell! She's never smelled in any other mashed potato recipe.

"It's lichen, and I added lichen to my mashed potatoes that grows on the basement level of Hogwarts Castle. ”

Noticing Hermione's eyes, Elena squinted triumphantly and pulled out a few dark green flake plant chips from her arms.

Hannah only felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it in the basement of the castle.

"Lichen? What's that?"

"Can you eat this thing?"

The attention of the two was instantly attracted by the plant chips in Elena's hand, and they asked in unison.

At first glance, it looks like a small snack of crispy vegetables formed by a myriad of wrinkled small leaves coming together. The surface has a layer of shine that seems to be plated with a thin layer of oil. As Elena took out the lichen chips, the faintly sweet and fresh crispy fragrance before became a lot more intense and fragrant.

"Of course, you can eat it, it's a very rare delicacy. ”

Elena nodded and replied with a serious face, a flash of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.

Lichens are a group of special fungi that usually survive in a symbiotic ecosystem with algae or cyanobacteria, and there are more than 20 species of edible species worldwide, most of which are non-toxic.

They grow extremely slowly, often on cliffs, rocks, bark, or desert floors.

The tolerance for industrial pollution is very low, but the adaptability to the harsh natural environment is very strong, and many alpine belts, permafrost and the poles of the earth have lichens.

In the past life, China, which had not experienced the pollution of the industrial revolution, was the country with the richest lichen resources in the world.

Coupled with the closeness and understanding of nature by the people who live in this land, it is natural that the history of edible and medicinal lichens is also quite long, and the earliest may even be traced back to the time of the Ichi.

Edible lichens such as the stone fungus, which have the potential to fight cancer and HIV, were almost eaten alive and endangered before Elena crossed over. If the Chinese umbilical coat and Chinese umbilical scales were not kept in the laboratory, they would even be one step away from being declared extinct.

However, Elena is in her hands a variant of the flat branch coat that is not very common in Asia, a slightly less chewy,

It is usually used in the spice industry for small lichens. Perhaps due to the influence of this magic castle, the color of these lichens has changed from the original light green to dark green, and a hazy shimmer flashes on the surface from time to time.

In the morning chaos between the two houses, Elena stumbled upon these delicious plants on the wall of the corner of a stone gallery near the Slytherin common room.

When she arrived at Dumbledore's office, she relied on coquettishness and pestered the old man to perform magic to reconfirm that it was not poisonous, and then used the fireplace in the headmaster's office to bake a few lichen chips to be used as a condiment for the future—in a country where there were no onions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry and stir-fry the flavor, Elena had to find some substitutes on her own.

As for the baking method, it is actually simpler.

All you need to do is tear the mutant lichen of Hogwarts into about two or three centimeters, remove all the thick stems and the adsorption part close to the wall, mix honey, olive oil and a little spice in a small dish, put the lichen in it and stir well, make sure that each leaf is covered with sauce, and then turn it back and forth directly on the flame until it is crispy and refreshing.

“...... That's it. In addition, I just found that if you inject a little bit of magic, it will bring a more stimulating and intense boost to the palate. ”

Glancing at the two little Lori, Elena smiled slightly, crumpled a piece of Hogwarts Castle lichen crisp into a bowl filled with honey mashed potatoes, pulled out her wand and flicked it, and a few elf-like points of light floated out, making the whole dish look like a delicate craft.

"Come, taste it. Hogwarts honey-scented lichen mixed with mashed potatoes, it's time to feel the magic delicious. ”

Elena smiled lightly, her voice as soft as a whisper, and scooped up a large ball of shimmering mashed potatoes with a spoon, and handed it to little Hermione, who was still processing the new amount of information, "Come, open your mouth, ah-"

"Hmm. ”

Looking at the delicate face in front of her, which seemed to exude infinite charm, Hermione Granger nodded a little flusteredly, and subconsciously opened her mouth obediently.

Click.

With the sound of crispy lichen in the mouth, the flickering shimmer quickly melts into the mellow and delicious mashed potatoes, and the delicious taste that is as sticky as honey but does not look sweet explodes on the tip of the tongue in an instant.

Raindrops are falling.

It was as if it had suddenly rained with mashed potatoes, honey, and milk.

The wind blew, and the boundless rich mellow came from all directions, wrapping Hermione in the middle, and the sticky honey and mashed potatoes continued to pass through her body, as if it was as clear as a wisp of it, and the warmth and peace of mind continued to gush out from the depths of her heart, and the whole person seemed to return to the lazy bed of the afternoon when she was a child.

In the midst of this, the crispy and fragrant Hogwarts Castle lichen was the lightning that pierced the sky from time to time, and each time it appeared, it struck the whole world hard, making Hermione's soul shiver with extreme pleasure.

"Uh-huh...... No, no, you can't make a shameful sound......"

Hermione's face was crimson, she bit her lip hard, her legs were clamped unconsciously, her eyes had a faint haze, as if she was bent in a pool of autumn water, her fair skin exuded a slightly powdery luster, and her hands hugged her dead and trembled helplessly.

It's really not frank, it's already like this, it's obviously delicious, she is hungry.

(º﹃º )

It seems that, as a friend, Miss Granger needs a little help.

Elena shook her head helplessly, picked up the spoon, glanced at the food that was still glittering at hand, and lit her wand again.

Then firmly, scoop up, feed.

- As a good friend, you must let Hermione experience true happiness.

With the addition of the last straw, the last line of defense that was tight in the consciousness of the brown-haired little Lori completely collapsed.

...... Seems...... Consciousness is ...... Flew away......

"Uh-huh, uh-ah-ah~uh-ah-ah-ah~~~~~"

The effect is surprisingly good, but it seems that next time the magic should be a little less?

Elena nodded with satisfaction, didn't look back, quickly stretched out her hand, grabbed Hannah's little Lori who wanted to escape, and showed a gentle smile.

(º﹃º )

"Don't run, it's your turn now, Hannah cutie. ”

"No, you can't...... Hmmm......"

"Uh-huh... Yes!... Uh-huh, I'm ......!
