Chapter 348: Welcome to Hogwarts Version 1.5 (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of "Cool Watermelon")
The open space next to the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts belongs to Slytherin House's "Vegetable Garden".
"It's something that servants and house-elves do, not students. I thought the most we could do was wave our wands and supervise the elves—"
A tall, thin Slytherin boy looked at Snape angrily, waving his arms in protest.
Just now, Snape showed them how to properly bury seeds in the soil.
Magic is not a panacea, and in order to ensure that plants do not lodging while using magic to speed up their growth, they must go into the moist dirt and bury the seeds in the soil with their own hands—at least for the young wizards.
"Unfortunately, if you want to stay at Hogwarts, these things are something you must do. Or the next time before you waste food, you should think about it, it's a wrong behavior, isn't it? And ......."
Snape, who was standing in the dirt, straightened up, looked at the boy with an unkind face, and whispered with squinted eyes.
"Mr. Timothy Rozier...... Am I also a house-elf or a servant?"
"No, Professor, I absolutely didn't mean to offend you. I mean, there aren't that many house-elves at Hogwarts......"
In the face of Professor Snape's cold gaze, Timothy Rozier involuntarily shuddered, and his anger and dissatisfaction were extinguished in an instant as if he had been poured a basin of ice water on his face, and explained with a slight stammer.
He suddenly remembered some rumors about Professor Snape that he had overheard while the elders of the family were chatting - it is said that Professor Snape was once the right-hand man of the Mystery, and after the fall of the Mystery, he somehow bewitched Dumbledore and became a professor at Hogwarts.
"Hmph, maybe you should write a letter to your family and send a house-elf to serve you twenty-four hours a day?"
Snape couldn't help but snort coldly, looked around at the little wizards standing around, and said mercilessly.
"If anyone else thinks they're inherently superior, or that there's something wrong with farming, then you can go back to the castle now, pack up and leave—if you think everything can be done by house-elves, then there's no point in staying here and continuing to learn magic, doesn't it?"
An extremely ugly expression appeared on Timothy Rozier's face, as if he was about to burst out in the next moment.
But when his gaze touched Snape's expressionless face, his lips twitched slightly, and then he involuntarily lowered his gaze, like a piece of wood, and did not move in place.
"Good, I don't want to hear the same complaints. ”
Snape nodded, his gaze swept over the faces of the students around him, took a long roll of parchment from his wizard's robes, and continued, "This is a list of 113 species of plants that the school has provided for you. Considering that you may not know some of these plants, some of them will be introduced later. ”
In fact, according to statistics, if you are not engaged in botanical research for a long time or are extreme survival enthusiasts, the number of plants that most people can accurately identify in the wild usually does not exceed 50.
After all, another purpose of the Hogwarts Farming event is to strengthen the young wizards' knowledge of some edible non-magical plants, at least to know what is edible—to try to avoid the previous humiliating situation where both grades were all put down by poisonous mushrooms.
You know, in order to increase the interest and popularization of science, Elena specially noted the nicknames of some less popular plants in the non-magical world, so that the little wizards can better choose and remember.
For example, "the king of fruits in Southeast Asia, durian", "the choice of strong men, leeks", "the oldest condiment, mustard greens", "hell flames from India, devil pepper", "the king of herbs, houttuynia cordata", "fat killer, bitter gourd"......
As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless, and Elena believes that with the help of such an interesting and alluring label, the little wizards who lack common sense will have the courage to plant and use common sense - and after planting, will they refuse to eat it?
"Gemma Farley, this parchment is for you, and tell me the final list you have decided to make before noon today. ”
Severus Snape rolled up the list in his hand and handed it to the Slytherin girl with the prefect's badge standing to his right, pausing slightly, his fingers waving across the dirt behind him.
"Also, I hope to see by today that you have sown the required portion of wheat and lettuce. If you don't want to spend the next week looking at the bread and vegetables on other college tables. ”
"Now...... Let's go. ”
With that, Snape walked over to the "vegetable garden" with his arms crossed, and quietly watched as the young wizards of Slytherin began to discuss and assign work - this was the final decision of the four Headmasters and Dumbledore, and they were only acting as an overseer and guide throughout the process, leaving the rest to the students themselves.
Still a little reluctant, the Slytherin wizards hesitated a little before they obediently gathered together and began to whisper about what plants should be planted.
The first thing that catches their eye is naturally those plants with the nickname "what king", or "the oldest and oldest" - after all, they really don't know much about vegetables other than potatoes, lettuce, and wheat.
And those vegetables, whose names are very ordinary at first glance, naturally do not belong to the choice that noble Slytherin should have.
......
Compared to Slytherin House and Gryffindor House, the choice between the other two houses is obviously much easier.
The Hufflepuff House, which is already close to nature, has a large number of people, and has the bonus of farming talent, has already come to a unified conclusion in less than five minutes when faced with this problem, and it would be good to plant it in a complete replica according to the configuration of the previous Hogwarts vegetable garden.
As the professor who knows the most about planting in the whole of Hogwarts, Professor Sprout has of course chosen the most comfortable land for the children of his house - the original vegetable garden of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which has not changed at all, except that it has changed from being cared for by house-elves to being taken care of by young wizards.
On the other side, Ravenclaw College is a different story.
As I said before, Ravenclaw was almost all girls, and when the whole house gathered together to start a discussion, it was clear that the dozen or so poor little boys were dotted among them, and they didn't dare to speak out loud - although for them, it might be another kind of happiness?
Since most of them were girls, the Ravenclaw wizards didn't show much interest in growing vegetables and staple foods, and instead focused more on the fruits at the end of the list. You must know that compared to the hearty meal, the fruit supply at Hogwarts has always been relatively shabby, usually only apples, tomatoes, and pumpkins......
Now that they have access to a wide variety of fruits, it is natural that the little wizards of Ravenclaw will have a dreamlike sense of happiness.
In the end, Professor Flitwick had to cut back on some of the wheat and lettuce he had to make room for the various fruit trees the children wanted to plant.
Yes, in a way, it's a little similar to Gryffindor House, except that potatoes have been replaced by the fruit category - the land below Ravenclaw Tower is now more of an orchard than a vegetable garden.
In this way, this historic magic castle unknowingly entered Hogwarts version 1.5, officially starting a long and happy life on the Hogwarts Magic Farm.
Neither the young wizards nor the professors realized at this time what a ...... it would be
