Chapter 9 The tragedy caused by tea eggs

"Miss Zhang, can you answer the three questions just now?!"

"Yes, Professor." Yugaya stood up obediently, "Narcissus root powder and wormwood together can be formulated into a very potent sleeping pill, which is a serving of life and death water. The bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a cow and has a strong detoxifying effect. As for Aconitum scaphoida and Aconitum lupus, they are the same plant, also collectively referred to as Aconitum sinensis. ”

Yugaya replied, looking up at Snape.

Snape glared at Yugaya viciously and walked back to the podium, "Do you understand?" Why don't you write down what Zhang just said?! ”

Potions class continued, but the Gryffindor students didn't seem to be in a good situation. Snape dragged his black cloak around the classroom, standing behind a student like a ghost, sucking away the courage and calmness of the students with his black hole-like eyes.

Yugaya was very calm, and felt similar to how he usually made soup.

Thinking about it this way, I don't know how good Professor Snape is at making soup, but if I can, maybe I can discuss it with Professor Snape.

Snape, who walked to the opposite side of Yugaya, looked at Yugaya, who was distracted while making soup, phew, and boiling potions, and felt a little suspicious of life.

"Miss Zhang, what offensive are you thinking?!"

"I'm thinking..." Yugaya subconsciously answered, and suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, puffed out his cheeks and said weakly, "Professor, isn't it bad for you to use the Regent Mind on students like this. ”

Snape wanted to say something, and her witty classmates helped her out—the little prince Seamus and Neville had an experimental accident as expected.

In the afternoon, Harry and the others went to Hagrid, and Yugaya wandered around to the Hogwarts kitchen.

In the sincere welcome of the house elf, Yugaya politely said, "Excuse me, can I borrow this place to make some food?" ”

"Please refrain from using honorifics, it is our duty to meet your needs." The elf who took the lead was at a loss for a moment when he heard her words, "If you need to, you can let us do everything." ”

Yugaya looked at this group of worrisome elves, and suddenly felt that they were ugly and cute, and sincerely expressed his gratitude to them: "Thank you!" ”

When the elves heard her words, they wept sadly one by one, and grabbed the ground with their heads. "Woo... We damn you to say thank you to us. Woohoo..."

Yugaya was silent for a moment.

Her talent quickly told her the reason for the scene in front of her.

For these house-elves who have engraved servility into their blood, the meaning of life is to work for their masters, the master's gratitude is dissatisfaction with their behavior, their own idleness is the shame of their laziness, and the master's giving them clothes to let them go is a trampling on their personality.

"Is that so?" Yugaya nodded without changing his face, "I order you to stop and tell me your name. ”

"Sam, Miss, you can call me Sam." The little elf obediently paused and looked at Yugaya with a pitiful look with its big eyes.

"Then, do what I ask, I am not used to others being inferior to me." Yugaya said.

Sam and the other elves looked at each other.

"I think the mental outlook of the servants is partly a reflection of the character and upbringing of their masters. I don't know how you used to treat other people, but I hope that in the face of me, you will keep your own will, and help and even promote me like a decent and courteous English steward, and not like a serf in the backward Middle Ages. Yugaya paused, his tone faint, with a hint of unquestionable meaning, "Do you understand what I say?" ”

Sam and the other elves looked at each other again.

Yugaya glanced at them and walked straight to the stove. "Maybe you can learn a little bit about Muggle housekeeping training, I think English housekeepers seem to be quite admirable."

Yugaya took out a casserole and a packet of spices, which had been mailed to her by Garfield.

Yugaya asked the elves for some eggs, and under the cautious and bewildered eyes of the elves, he boiled the eggs in cold water for eight minutes and fished them out.

Yugaya topped her casserole with green onions, ginger, old rock sugar, and a packet of spices—peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, and a few bay leaves—and didn't forget to add a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of soy sauce, and a handful of tea leaves.

Bring the water to a boil, roll the eggs around on the table, crack the shells evenly, and put them in a casserole filled with a pot of ingredients.

Yugaya put on the lid of the casserole, yawned and told the elf named Sam: "Help me take a look, cook for 10 minutes, turn off the heat, and leave it here for the night." ”

Seeing Sam nod, and ignoring his overwhelmed expression, Yugayesh walked out of the kitchen.

The following Saturday, Yugaye used Transfiguration to conjure up several boxes of boiled tea eggs, left a few for Hermione and them, and walked the rest to the long Slytherin table.

The Slytherins, who had been eating quietly, slowed down and looked at the daring Gryffindor.

Yugaya handed the food box to Carlisle.

"Thanks, thanks."

Carlisle smiled and took the box very naturally.

"What is it?"

"Spiced tea eggs, I don't know if you like to eat them."

Carlisle opened the food box, peeled off the eggshell, and looked at the mellow taste and crystal color of the egg. "Thank you, I love it."

Yugaya nodded, the gift was delivered, and he turned around to leave.

At this moment, a very unbeaten voice stopped her.

"Hey! Stinky girl! You don't like Carlisle, do you?! ”

Yugaya turned his head slowly, and saw the platinum-haired Malfoy, the beautiful and delicate Shota had a wicked smile on his face, ready to taunt Yugaya.

"Stinky girl." Yugaya paused, "Call who?" ”

"Of course it won't be stupid to call you."

The smile on Malfoy's face grew. Harry noticed the situation and stood up to help, and Hermione rushed over to help.

"It turned out that the stinky girl was calling me, but I didn't expect Malfoy, who looked like a boy, to be a girl, and so self-aware." Yugaya's expression didn't change, and he answered another question, "As for Carlisle, of course I like it."

Amid everyone's astonishment and Carlisle's smiling expression, Yugaya said slowly, "Don't Master Malfoy like his friends?" I can't imagine that the surface friends of the Malfoy family turned out to be different, and behind all this is the distortion of human nature or the degradation of morality! ”

The friends were all stunned, looking at Draco with strange eyes, and Master Malfoy waited for Yugaya with angry eyes, and finally held back a sentence: "Of course I like my friend!" ”

Then he realized that he had gone to the pit of Yugaya. "I mean, you stupid Gryffindor doesn't want Carlisle to be your boyfriend!"

The Gryffindor friends couldn't bear this, and they all stood up and glared at Malfoy.

Not to be outdone, the Slytherin snakes stood up and strengthened their own momentum.

Well, even though they had a traitor - Carlisle was still sitting there all right.
