Chapter 1143: Teach Him Another Lesson
In the vault of the Temple of Harris, the windows were already open, and the curtains were constantly flying up and down in the night wind.
On the desk in the room, in addition to a few plates that have not yet been uncovered, in the middle is a copper pot with a special shape, and in the middle of it there is a chimney-like structure coming out, and some red-hot charcoal is being placed inside, which makes the domestic heat around the chimney steaming and smoking, and also makes the whole room filled with sweetness and meaty aroma.
In the boiling soup, the slightly yellow sour cabbage floats and rises and falls.
The Ravenclaw family of three was sitting around the square table, eating heartily.
At this time, Luna was picking up the mutton plate, turning the bottom of the plate upside down, only to see the mutton clinging to the plate, and there was no sign of falling down: "Is it good mutton if it doesn't fall?"
"And my good knife work~" Alan saw that Luna, who had no appetite, was a little complacent when she saw that she was eating happily, "Qiu Zhang's parents don't have this thing, I used my mother's pickled German sauerkraut instead, but the taste should be similar, when I watched my father eat roast pork knuckle before, he said that the taste of this vat of pickling is better than ever." ”
"When I was pickling sauerkraut, I helped my grandmother. Helena took a sip of the soup with a silver spoon to maintain medieval court etiquette, and then elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, her tone was very proud, "Grandma said that if the cabbage in autumn and winter is firmer, now this season is a little soft, otherwise it will be more crispy." ”
"Helena, you've been pretty skilled at switching states lately..."Alan looked at her daughter and praised her a few words, "How did you introduce your father and mother." ”
"Father, it's cumin and salt, and grandma added a little buttermilk to help ferment. Helena was a little happy to see that her father had asked as she wished, "Then she put the whole leaf of the cabbage on the bottom of the clay jar of pickled cabbage, and grandma said that she didn't ask why she did it, but just kept it traditional, and then spread the thinly cut cabbage in a layer, then added salt and cumin, and rubbed the salt into the shredded cabbage with her hands until the surface of the cabbage was broken... Then the water in the dish will break down..."Helena said earnestly as she looked at Alan, "and this is repeated until the pickle bar is filled, and the cabbage is pressed under the oozing juice with two stones on top, and finally the lid is closed, and water is poured between the raised sides of the altar and the lid to isolate the air from the inside and outside... It's okay to marinate it for two weeks in summer, but it seems to take three weeks in summer?" (Author's note: I looked for the production process of German sauerkraut, and found that it is similar to Northeast sauerkraut, so it is no wonder that it tastes similar. )
"You're so much better at learning than your father. Alan saw that her daughter said so many words rarely, and knew that she was waiting to be praised, "I said why is this sauerkraut copper hot pot so delicious today, I just put things in it and cook it, it's your credit for being so delicious."
"Sounds a bit strenuous..."Luna looked at the interaction between Alan and Helena and seemed to have some thoughts of embodying, and she also decided to teach her daughter as a mother, "Helena, if you don't want to do it, remember to miss a few times..."
"I love to cook with my grandmother, mother. Helena nodded, "However, I used that excuse to leave while Miss Clearwatt was there. ”
"Luna, do you usually do this to me? and... Uh..."Hearing this, Alan was a little embarrassed and tried to divert his daughter's topic with a rhetorical question, but he was stuck in half of the sentence, and he added stunts and overturned the matter of a large group of people shaking blind from the doppelganger, and he said in a somewhat weak tone: "I won't go back today, just sleep here... I'm in a bit of trouble over there, and Aunt Josephine and her Voldemort bat cape are blown up. ”
"Didn't my aunt like my father's cooking? I thought she would like black pudding...", Helena pointed to the pot and pointed to what was actually a sausage made from animal blood, meat, fat, oats, and bread, "Grandma doesn't like pig's blood?"
Luna had her hair behind her ears, her mouth leaned forward, she drank a sip of grunting sauerkraut soup, the whole person let out a long sigh, raised her head, and wiped the hot sweat on her forehead, "Eat this tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow." ”
"No, I've asked the doctor Michela before, it's really appetizing, but you can't eat too much, and the salt is too high for a god. With a smile, Alan scooped up a piece of black pudding with a colander, dipped it in a fork and dipped it in a mouthful of garlic, blew on the hot air, put it on Luna's plate, and then gave another piece to her daughter.
"Black pudding is not tasty. Luna returned the black pudding fork she had taken a bite to Ellen, and she lifted the lid on the rest of the plate on the table, "And the colored ball fish? ”
The bottom of this dish is a soy sauce-colored soup, and the ball-like fish body was originally slashed by Allen, and now it has burst into flowers after steaming, and it looks very fresh, sprinkled with ginger, green onions, chili rings and other seasonings, which looks red, green and white, and the color makes people very appetizing.
"I made this meal for you today under the pretext that Emily had a cold, and of course there will be colored ballfish. Alan raised his eyebrows proudly, "I only steamed for seven minutes, and Qiu Zhang's mother taught me a key point of steaming fish, which is hot, watery, and full of gas... The high temperature quickly inhibits the loss of juice in the fish and locks in the umami, and the soy sauce I asked them for is also preheated in advance, so as not to prevent the cold soy sauce from cooling the temperature of the fish... I also have to praise Maggie, this fish is still her careful eye, and she left you the fattest one. ”
"Helga taught me that fresh eyes can be a little bulging when they are ready. Luna stared at her bulging eyes, then reached into the chin of the fish and scooped out some crescent flesh, the white flesh of which trembled on her fork.
"Father, it's a pity that there are no largemouth ballfish now, and Helga can only get one once in a while... She'll send it to us. Helena cultured picked up the common fork on the side of the plate, which neither of her parents used, and divided a large piece of fish belly meat and put it on Alan's plate, "Father, you eat this piece... I don't need nutrition right now, and I don't think it tastes much for this kind of dish that doesn't have a strong taste... The meat of the fish maw is fat and delicate, and my mother gives me the maw every time I eat the chin meat..."
"It's okay Helena, I've got some hot sauce dipping sauce for you, and you can still feel the soft texture. Alan turned the belly back to the child, handed over the dipping sauce from the plate for her, and finally touched Helena's hair, "Next time Daddy will make you something that is heavy in your mouth." ”
"Thank you, father!" Helena didn't shy away, she enjoyed this kind of family of three eating, which was also the thing she was most jealous of other young wizards when she was a child.
After Alan saw Helena start to eat fish with a fork, she immediately turned her head and glared at Luna, and her heart sounded in a vague voice: " I have heard that in ancient times, the kidnappers would starve the kidnapped child for three days, and then make him a fish, and if he first went to eat the meat on the back of the fish, and picked a large piece to eat, it was a poor man's child, and he would be released or slaughtered; if the child came up and went to dig up the belly of the fish, then this would have to be detained for a few days and let him bleed at home; if the child came up and turned to find the fish's chin, otherwise the child would not be ruined in the family, and he would definitely not be able to leave, because it means that he is the most favored in the family..."
Luna didn't stop eating, she just pushed her belly, which was completely non-bulging, forward—which made Eren lose his temper immediately, and he had to pull some fish back meat for himself.
After the last family had enjoyed a main dish made by the man himself, Alan untied the lid and gave the mother and daughter a bowl of white flowers.
Feeling her taste buds quickly taken over by the softness and smoothness of the milk, Luna looked at Alan vaguely, "New flavor pudding?"
"Also known as double skin milk, the layer of milk skin you just picked up actually needs to be coagulated twice to form when making it, the upper skin is sweet, and the bottom skin is fragrant and smooth. Alan also picked up a bowl of double-skin milk, took a sip, and half-squinted his eyes in enjoyment, "I can't find buffalo milk, so I can only use ordinary milk instead, so the color is a little yellow, but fortunately, although the taste is not as authentic and sweet, it is okay... Hmmm...," Alan put down the bowl in his hand, full of sorrow, "Luna, my mother over there is happy and worried about your situation, and it's not a way for us to hide like this... Helga is suspicious today, too..."
"A day of delay counts as a day. Luna lowered her unfocused eyes and focused her gaze on the dessert.
Alan noticed Luna's small gesture and noticed that Luna seemed to be a little weak-hearted... He suddenly became alert, and after a little thought, Alan screamed at the pregnant subject: "Luna, do you want to drag until your belly is big, so that no one else can beat you so that they can only beat me for one ?!!!?"
Hearing this, Luna turned her head away from looking at Eren at all—and just as Eren was about to open her mouth to complain, her expression suddenly changed, "Wait a minute, Alan." ”
"Don't digress!" said Allen, thinking of his mother's thick feather duster, and the fear of pain made the little Ravenclaw eagle a little furious.
"I have a hunch..."Luna's pale silver eyes turned to Allen, and the corner of her mouth still had a piece of double skin milk that had not been wiped off, and her voice was slightly higher than usual, "It's time to get the invisibility cloak back, someone has focused on it." ”
"Who is it?" Allen blurted out with a playful look, "Death?"
"No, if it's the true owner of the Deathly Hallows, I can't feel it... But don't be in a hurry, I have a premonition..."Luna leaned back in her chair and hiccuped comfortably, "My divine power has improved very quickly recently, and in addition to knowledge, many business people have also begun to pray to me... Coupled with my research on the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone, I have a certain fateful connection to this cloak, it should only be some mortal beings who have taken an interest in it, and maybe too much mention of the name of the Invisibility Cloak has given me a hunch..."
"So... Doesn't the Grim Reaper sense it when we talk about them?" Alan voiced his worries, "I mean, he's at least a true god..."
"If he would come to the mortal world, he would have felt it, but now he is in the underworld. Luna continued to scoop up her twin skins, "But the Grim Reaper's creation can still be felt in the underworld after the change of ownership... After that, he shouldn't be so leisurely and slow... Helena, don't run around lately, just stay at the temple or at home. ”
Helena had just been silent when her father questioned her mother about his cheating and talking to him, when she heard the admonition and responded: "Yes, mother." ”
"It's better for the Grim Reaper to have movements than to keep us worried in the dark..."Allen's fingers tapped on the table, "The Cloak of Invisibility... Dumbledore? could possibly be Voldemort... Well, Tom wasn't looking for the Elder Wand some time ago, and he might have figured out something about the Deathly Hallows... The old Crouch knew that Harry had an invisibility cloak when he pretended to be a mad-eyed man, maybe Tom had heard it from him..."After some self-talk, Alan stood up, "You can sleep after eating, Helena, you take care of your mother, I'll go out now to avoid long nights... Well, I'll go to the Gryffindor common room to get my stuff back, and then I'll go to Tom and teach him another lesson, just as we've been in a financial downturn lately..."
