Chapter 146 Lockhart makes a small fuss
Ted's "softening shampoo" is different from the general business. This thing has a special meaning to Sirius.
Because my friend James Potter’s ancestors were in the shampoo business, but they stopped doing it in James Potter’s generation.
The Jinlong in his family's vault is the family property saved at that time-now Halle is a rich woman!
That is because James Pott took Lily away, so Snape hated James and everything related to him, including shampoo. So Snape didn't shampoo his hair anymore.
Snape: Know why I don't shampoo my hair? Dogs don't even need Pote's shampoo!
Ted and Sirius cooperated to pick up the business of Potter's ancestors again.
It is estimated that Sirius will use this as one of Harry's future dowry.
Ted doesn't care about anything, and only comes up with a prescription, technology shares, which account for 15% of the store's pure dividends.
This is driving Ron crazy!
This year, he has deeply realized that a gallon can't beat a great wizard; that without money, it is impossible to move an inch; soup without salt is not as good as water, and people without money are not as good as ghosts!
Ron also complained: "When will this poor life end?"
His good brother George enlightened him: "It depends on how long you can live."
Ted: Don't worry, I'll take you with me next time.
The magical world of Great Britain is really too small, so small that any change can easily spread throughout the entire magical world.
Especially the reappearance of the former "Potter Shampoo".
With the connections of the Black family, the momentum of the store has become very large. According to the report in the "Daily Prophet", the Minister of Magic, Fudge, went to participate in the ribbon-cutting.
This guy just came to power two years ago. While he needs Dumbledore's support, he also needs to contact the pure-blood family for support. The photos in the newspapers show his toothache.
And Ted, as the inventor of smoothing shampoo, was also known by some well-informed people.
After all, the Potters’ recipes were outdated. They were old recipes decades ago, and their family hadn’t sold shampoo for more than 20 years.
James Potter inherited the family property after graduation, so he gave up this ancestral property.
At that time, the Potter family didn’t need to save any more money, but needed some social status, such as joining the Order of the Phoenix~
As a well-known person, Lockhart is still very well informed.
So, he soon found out that it was his "protégé" Ted who invented the detangling shampoo.
He even bought it and tried it out, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Honestly, he's pretty jealous!
Although it is said in the book that my greatest ideal is world peace or something, how is it possible?
For so many years, Lockhart has never dared to tell others that his dream is to develop a shampoo.
As a result, my student, a second-year little wizard, developed such an easy-to-use shampoo, what a feeling!
It seems that countless ants are crawling on the body!
Lockhart crawled all over the floor with envy. Although his mouth was full of criticisms about this shampoo, his body was still very honest! Already used it!
Gilderoy Lockhart tried to invent a shampoo made from the yolk of a bird snake egg, but it was expensive - the shell of a bird snake egg is pure silver and dangerous to use sex, so it was never sold to the mass market.
Before he knew Ted, he also invented two hot-selling products, "hair dye" and "acne relief", and he also had an idea in his mind.
It seems that my student is not just good at studies.
I want to gain the fame of Boy Who Lived, but it doesn't seem to be very successful now.
How about I change the target?
Ted is also good!
…
Ted still doesn’t know that dear Professor Lockhart is planning to use the name of his mentor as a mentor to rub his halo, or it can be regarded as a kind of venture capital.
In case Ted becomes popular in a few years, then the current Lockhart is a discerning eye!
Ted was fishing by the Black Lake at this time.
That’s right, fishing.
When he was running in the morning, he found many big fish jumping around in the lake. This was definitely provocative!
pump water pump ~
Ted made a fishing rod in his spare time, and wanted to see if there was any harvest.
Don't tell me, there is!
After fishing for 20 minutes, I finally caught a jackal!
The small washbasin is so big! The back is full of sharp thorns.
Ted searched in his mind and found the corresponding species in a magazine introducing magical creatures.
"Tin snapping turtle? Boy, is it an invasive species!"
Ted thought maybe it was bought as a pet by a young wizard from a certain class before, but he got tired of it after a long time, and then threw it into the Black Lake.
This is not okay, invasive species cannot be spared.
What's more, the book said that this thing nourishes the body, and the tortoise shell is still a good potion material.
So, the Hogwarts kitchen ushered in a new recipe "Braised Tin Snapping Turtle"!
This thing is so hard that a house-elf cut the blade of a kitchen knife and couldn't get rid of it.
It’s still Ted who goes straight to the front and has no shadow, give it a bully to remove the armor.
Then I found a big pot, took out all the precious spices I bought from the Chinese supermarket, and then looked at the potions that Harry stole from Snape's private vault during this period, what could be of use? inside~
It took two hours for a stewed iron snapping turtle to come out of the pot. Once the pot was opened, a golden dragon turtle rose into the sky~
A group of elves and friends followed Ted and stared at the ceiling of the kitchen. No one spoke for a long time, and finally Ted broke the calm: "Ahem, this snapping turtle should have returned to bliss, we should do it for you." It's happy."
Before Hermione said: Turtle is so cute! How can you eat turtles!
Reach out and touch it, and then: Ah, bite! Get half of it for me, and simmer it slowly until it burns a little bit! !
Now she likes to eat the most.
All the friends were having fun, and even Ron showed his back molars with a smile.
As the saying goes:
The tendons on the hooves of animals, the treasures in the palms of birds.
Swimming fish crescent moon meat, soft-shelled turtle skirt material.
The bite of turtle meat and the collagen on the skirt is not only fragrant, but also a warm current spreads to the limbs and bones, which is very ruthless~
After all, this is a magic delicacy, with medicine~
Potions + Herbalism + Cooking Have a trick?
Medicated Diet~ It’s pretty exciting!
Nowadays, there are eighteen elves in the kitchen handed down by Ted, known as the Eighteen Kitchen Elves, who are skilled in cooking and each has their own specialties.
That's pretty nice.
Marinated salted duck eggs, Kung Pao chicken, spicy shredded chicken, British meat sandwiches, Hogwarts spicy soup...In half a month, the menu of Hogwarts has doubled in thickness.
There is even an elf who is making authentic old Baijing noodles while humming: Look at this noodles, he is big and wide~
Don't say it, the magic world is not just humming. If you don't hum, the taste of the noodles and the magic effect that bring people happiness are almost meaningless.
I believe that within a few years, the Hogwarts kitchen will become a holy place for gourmet food in the magic world, and the ultimate training ground for all magic chefs~
That night, the house elves collectively showed off their latest achievements.
More than 20 new dishes are put on the table, such as crispy roast duck and braised Thames carp, all of which are pediatrics.
Because the European diet is different from that of the Chinese Dynasty. The Chinese food has a salty taste as the base, while here it uses sweetness as the base. There is sugar in everything!
So it is still adjusted according to local tastes.
The entire auditorium is filled with various aromas, and one smells it and feels that the cells in the whole body are invigorated and active.
As soon as the dish cover is lifted, the dishes shine brightly! ,
Then a dragon flew out, soaring into the sky, holding this fragrant big elbow in its mouth~
As long as you take a bite, you will burst your shirt with delicious food—the whole person is like swimming in the warm current freely~
In my mind, a group of beauties in Bavarian dresses danced lightly, and then they got together, and the word "fragrance" was written on the lady's feather fan!
Many little wizards really sat on the ground after taking a bite, which was a big somersault!
The little wizard with Hufflepuff asked Ted with an expression of disbelief, "How did you do it?"
Ted smiled very reservedly: "It's the potion, I took the potion."
It is said that after this meal, many Hufflepuff students stayed in the kitchen after class.
So much so that a famous saying came out a few years later: If you meet a magic cooking chef who graduated from Hufflepuff, marry him!
Looking at the extremely lively auditorium, everyone enjoyed the food, laughed and cheered, and it was very lively.
Ron is so envious, when can he lead everyone together and make them happy?
Jerry ate the fish happily, and asked shamelessly, "Why do fish have spines? It's so convenient to eat without spines!"
Hermione rolled his eyes at him: "The fish doesn't want you to eat it."
Ted laughed and said, "You're talking about sea cucumbers, which are only eaten by football players who play badly."
…
Today's dinner was so sumptuous that even Flitwick and Professor McGonagall were full of praise.
But there was one person missing—and that was Lockhart.
What is he doing? He is writing a plan.
He felt that he was too low-key recently, and he had to do something.
No trouble for a week, he looks like ants are crawling all over his body! So I wrote a plan...
As a result, Lockhart learned that he had missed a big meal.
He is also curious, why do you say that if you eat it, you will become a fairy and see Merlin?
He just wanted to try it.
The house elf Kaka, the chef in the kitchen, patted his chest and assured Professor Lockhart: I will use all my strength, just watch~
It didn’t take long for the dishes to be ready, and the rosy and beautiful pose~
Lockhart inserted a piece of ruddy and lustrous dish that looked very appetizing, and put it into his mouth.
Chew, chew, chew~ Mmm! very fragrant~
But there is a strange, indescribable taste in the incense. Very top!
Lockhart seemed to think of the Valentine's Day when he sent himself a hundred letters when he was in school... That was my lost youth!
After a long time, Lockhart wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked curiously, "What's the name of this dish?"
Kaka smiled~
The description about eating chili was modified yesterday, and the review did not agree...
