Eggs are probably one of the oldest foods of mankind.

To be precise, oviparous animals at the top of the evolutionary chain have always been fairly high in the food chain – almost all carnivorous organisms have a wide variety of eggs in their diets.

After all, as food, the biggest advantage of eggs is that they have no legs, no fins, and no wings, so they don't run around, and predators don't have to risk their lives to hunt.

Not to mention, eggs are more than a notch superior to vegetables and most meats, both in terms of preservation and nutritional value, and it's easy to see why it's often said that all eggs in the world are nature's most perfect gifts.

“...... A good day naturally needs to start with a good breakfast. And a good breakfast, the simplest and most nutritious configuration, is naturally a hot and fragrant boiled egg. ”

In the empty Hufflepuff common room, Elena crouched patiently in front of the fireplace with her knees crossed, licked her lips lightly, and whispered softly with fiery eyes.

In the clear blue eyes of the girl, the liquid surface of the crucible that kept tumbling above the firelight was reflected, and the three or four fiery ash snake eggs that were as magnificent as red jade under the liquid surface.

It wasn't until the two "Potions Thieves" returned to the Hufflepuff common room that Elena realized an awkward problem - all her condiments and kitchen utensils had been left upstairs in the Gryffindor girls' dormitory, and now there was no way to cook some of the more complicated breakfasts, even the crucibles used to cook eggs were temporarily borrowed from Little Hannah.

Fortunately, little Hannah, who had never eaten potions, was not dissatisfied with this little regret, and at this time, she imitated Elena's appearance, squatting obediently in front of the fireplace with her knees crossed, quietly waiting for the fire ash snake eggs to be cooked.

"But...... Elena. ”

Hannah blinked, looking at the crimson snake eggs in the cauldron that were more like jewels than food, and her tone was mixed with hesitation and curiosity.

"I've eaten a lot of boiled eggs, but are you sure it's really okay to eat these [Fire Ash Snake Eggs] like this? I just looked at "Magic Potions and Potions", and it doesn't mention this potion material. ”

"Absolutely.

Elena smiled confidently and replied without hesitation.

As a qualified foodie, the most important thing is not the courage to dare to say anything, but the knowledge and survival skills that are the only way to be able to stand at the top of the food chain and methodically incorporate the entire biosphere below into your recipes.

As for those brave beings who dare to stuff anything into their mouths, they have either evolved a murderous physique that can digest the high and low bars and fried isolation mounds, or they have disappeared forever from the genealogy of the foodie family.

"If you read all of our important textbooks for this semester, Hannah, you will find that although the Potions class textbook "Magic Potions and Potions" does not mention the knowledge of [Fire Snake Eggs], we can find the corresponding information in Mr. Newt Scamander's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" about the Fire Snake. ”

When it comes to her favorite potions and magical animals, Elena's tone is noticeably more cheerful, and the little derpy hair on her head is wagging mischievously like an excited little elk's tail.

"When a demonic fire (any fire infused with magical substances, such as Floo powder, etc.) burns unchecked for too long, the Fire Ash Serpent is created. It is a snake with a red glow in its eyes, and it lives only one hour, during which it finds a dark, hidden place to lay its eggs, and then its body falls apart and turns to dust. If the eggs are not found in time and frozen with the appropriate spells, they can cause a fire in a matter of minutes - of course, since Mr. Newt discovered this pattern, the vast majority of the current fire ash snake eggs are man-made. ”

"And most importantly, frozen Ash Snake eggs can be used to make potions, such as love potions. If the Grey Snake Egg is swallowed whole, it can be used to treat fever (malaria). This means that we can conclude that the eggs can be boiled directly without any toxic or magical effects that are harmful to humans. ”

As she spoke, there was a rare look of admiration in Elena's eyes, she must visit this legendary master of Magizoology when she has the opportunity, and Professor Dumbledore should be happy to help her make an introduction.

However, Newt Scamander's strength is not weak, even if not with the assistance of those animals, at least it is second to the top wizards of the Grindelwald and Dumbledore ranks - so she must refrain from touching Mr. Newt's litter of treasures and act well-behaved and cute, otherwise she will probably be thrown out of the suitcase on the first day.

"But it's a snake egg, and it's a ...... Snake bar......"

Compared with the white-haired dumplings that were about to drool, the expression on Hannah's little Lori face was obviously a lot more entangled, not to mention snake eggs, she hadn't even eaten snake meat before, and Hannah felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of the kind of slippery and cold cold-blooded reptile.

Looking at the little blonde girl with a tangled face, Elena couldn't help but reach out and rub Hannah's fleshy cheeks, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, from a nutritional point of view, the composition of eggs is basically the same, mainly protein, fat, etc. Except that there is no egg yolk, it is actually similar to an egg - in a sense, because it does not have the fishy smell of egg yolk, I think it actually tastes a little more delicious. Not to mention, from the perspective of scientific diet, the nutrients ingested from snake eggs are far greater than those of other poultry eggs, and they are easier to be absorbed by the human body. ”

"Proteins, fats? ”

Hannah nodded incomprehensibly, quickly hiding the confusion on her face.

Obviously, Elena was talking about some knowledge from the non-magical world, and every time she had encountered such a thing before, she would be left out of the topic by Granger - Hannah had decided that she must learn more about the non-magical world before the next vacation, so as not to look like a fool.

"What do you understand...... Little silly chick. Even Hermione couldn't have known this knowledge. ”

Glancing at Hannah's little Lori, Elena, who vaguely guessed the girl's thoughts, shook her head dumbly, and used her wand (a pair) to nimbly fish out the fire ash snake eggs from the crucible and put them in the cold water prepared next to her.

Compared with the calcified eggshells of birds, snake eggs also have the advantage that even the "eggshell" part is actually edible and digestible, because that layer of shell is essentially an existence similar to a colloidal layer, so it can be eaten directly after a little cooling, and even the process of peeling the shell can be omitted.

"You are who you are, and you never have to imitate other people. ”

Elena stretched out her fingers and scratched Hannah's little nose, picked up a fire ash snake egg and blew it gently, and handed it forward.

"Don't forget, you said you were going to stay with me for the rest of my life—come, ah......"

It is enough to have a knowledgeable "Miss Know-it-all", each of whom has their own unique brilliance, and if it were Hermione, it would never be possible to accompany her without hesitation as before.

Of course, on the contrary, the only one who can accompany her tirelessly soaring in the world of knowledge is Hermione Granger, who takes learning as a pleasure.

While Hannah swallowed and chewed on the snake egg, Elena secretly hid a boiled fire ash snake egg in the pocket of her robe.

Legend has it that the Grey Snake Egg is pregnant with the magic of love, and if you eat it, you can get beautiful love - so Elena specially prepared three equal parts of the Grey Snake Egg.

Only children do multiple-choice questions. She, Elena Kaslana, of course, all of them!
