Early the next morning.

As soon as it was dawn, Grindelwald was awakened by a small noise coming from the open kitchen.

In front of the workbench in the open kitchen not far away, the silver-haired little Lori, who didn't know when she had woken up, was humming a strange melody softly while cooking the ingredients at hand, and on the stove next to the little Lori, the gurgling and tumbling iron pot emitted a strange aroma that Grindelwald had never smelled.

"Hmm, are you awake, go wash your face and rinse your mouth first, and clean yourself up...... Breakfast will be a little later. ”

As if hearing the movement behind her, Elena turned around and glanced at Grindelwald, pointed to the bathroom on the side with her right hand casually, and said in a tone similar to coaxing a child.

“......”

Grindelwald glanced at the cold-lit thick-backed kitchen knife on the girl's right hand, and the remaining sleepiness woke up most of the time in an instant—when I woke up in the morning, I saw a bright kitchen knife at first sight, which was much more effective than anything else in coffee and strong tea.

In fact, since yesterday when he saw the layout of the open kitchen, Grindelwald had been puzzled why Dumbledore had to equip this murderous little creature with such a complete set of knives when there were only potatoes, cabbage, and bacon slices in the ingredient box.

As for Elena's so-called nonsense that was all brought from home, Grindelwald didn't believe a word at all.

Not to mention why a child living in an orphanage in the Highlands of Scotland has a set of knives from Germany, Grindelwald has not attended a magic school, whether it is Durmstrang or Hogwarts, where is the reason why a first-year wizard would carry a knife to school?!

"Hey, don't be in a daze. I'm almost ready to do it here!" Elena's voice came.

"What a rush, annoying little one. Grindelwald yawned, thought about things, and turned and walked briskly towards the bathroom.

There was no doubt that he should have realized that the whole thing had exuded an air of intrigue that was all too familiar from the very beginning - in that case, perhaps he should have considered whether to give the girl some special gift to bring to Hogwarts on the day of Elena's departure.

About a quarter of an hour later, the living room at the dining table.

"So, what is this......"

Gellert Grindelwald frowned, picked up the spoon and stirred it in the bowl in front of him, his tone tinged with a disgust that could not have been more obvious.

In front of him was a bowl of unusually suspicious paste-like soup, a rather viscous reddish-brown soup with unidentified food fragments floating in it, accompanied by rising heat, and a spicy and pungent smell kept pouring into Grindelwald's nostrils.

If it weren't for the fact that the little Lori on the other side was eating happily with a bowl at this time, Grindelwald would have almost thought that Elena had specially gotten up early to make a pot of potion, after all, this unknown object looked too much like the potion made by the legendary ancient witch.

"Hu spicy soup, try it quickly, although it is not too authentic, but the taste will not be too bad. ”

Elena stuck out her little tongue and licked the soup from the corner of her mouth, lifted her blushing face, burped contentedly, shrugged her shoulders and squinted comfortably in reply.

Hu spicy soup can be regarded as one of the most iconic breakfast configurations of the big foodie empire, which is characterized by rich soup flavor, beautiful soup color, viscous soup, spicy and delicious, with the effect of soothing the liver and rejuvenating the spleen, appetizing and eliminating food, and driving away cold and invigorating qi.

In the cool morning of Newmengard, a steaming bowl of spicy soup is perfect to start the day.

"Hula Tang?"

Grindelwald repeated it as he imitated Elena's pronunciation, subconsciously pushing the bowl in front of him a little farther away, the name sounding more like some strange potion name than the name of a dish.

"That's right, Hu spicy soup, huh?!"

Elena blinked, looked at Grandpa Grindelwald with question marks on his face, was slightly stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly turned her mouth to make up, and a cold sweat instantly broke out behind her back.

"I gave it a casual name, to be exact, ...... Soup with pepper?"

Elena secretly stuck out her tongue, oops, accidentally said something out of her mouth.

Yesterday was so tired that the whole person is still a little confused, and the excitement of successfully making spicy soup in a foreign country made Elena unconsciously relax her vigilance a little.

casually glanced at Gellert Grindelwald, who was full of confusion, and the white-haired dumplings looked around left and right, and a vigilant light flashed in his eyes......

Wrong wrong!

Elena shook her head vigorously, putting aside the dangerous thoughts in her mind, I don't know why, since she cast the "your" magic text yesterday, she always felt that her emotions today were vaguely restless and unstable.

"Pepper soup?"

Grindelwald, who didn't realize that he had just walked around the edge of danger, flapped his nose and raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and after Elena prompted, this time he could vaguely distinguish the peppery smell inside, and his face became slightly more beautiful—at least it wouldn't be a dangerous potion.

"It's a very common breakfast, and the number of people in the non-magical world who eat it every morning is twice as large as the entire population of the United Kingdom. ”

If it weren't for the fact that she almost had a big accident yesterday, she wouldn't have gotten up early in the morning to make a special breakfast for this cold-faced old man who didn't know the goods.

You know, although Hu spicy soup, which has conquered almost the entire HN province, is the most common traditional soup for breakfast in the north of the Great Foodie Empire, if anyone cooks it by hand from scratch, it is still quite cumbersome and complicated, and is equivalent to the simplicity and crudeness of most fried or steamed foods - to be precise, few of the soup dishes in the Great Foodie Empire will be simple.

If it is according to the most authentic Hu spicy soup boiling method, it will take more than half a day just to prepare the process, and the raw materials involved range from ginger, pepper, star anise, cinnamon and other seasonings to cooked mutton, cooked beef, gluten, vermicelli, daylily, peanuts, fungus and other ingredients, and some time-honored brands with a long heritage will even involve 30 to 40 kinds of spice ratios.

In order to make up this low-profile version of the Hu spicy soup recipe, Elena took a lot of effort.

Looking at the face in front of him, who was still solemn, as if Elena had put a bowl of poison and wanted to murder his original Dark Lord, Elena spread her hands and added angrily.

"Don't worry, if I want to harm you, I don't need to poison you at all. “
