Chapter 741 Eastern Magic
Under the dining table, a small cat's head poked out from behind the table legs. It looked around cautiously. I don't know if it was shy or just uneasy because it had just arrived in a strange place.
The kitten seemed to have discovered something. It trotted out of its hiding place, passed through the kitchen and entered the living room, rushing towards Tom who was taking a nap on the sofa. It seemed that only being around the familiar smell could bring it a sense of security.
“Where did you hide just now?”
The poor kitten could not escape the clutches of the girl after all. Before it could reach Tom's side, it was picked up from the carpet.
After a pointless struggle, he was easily suppressed by a comb, and the last bit of struggle and resistance was easily bribed by Xiaoyugan.
Tom opened his eyes and stared at the dried fish in Nia's hand teasing the kitten. He stood up from the sofa, stretched out lazily, and wanted to move to Nia to ask for the dried fish, but Albert stopped him. I picked it up from the sofa and put it in the large hamster running wheel in the corner of the restaurant, and started my daily weight loss exercise.
Nia paused with her hand, her eyes fell on Isobel next to Albert, her lips moved imperceptibly, her eyes moved down again, she stretched out her hand to suppress the kitten who wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, and continued to give It grooms the hair.
Beside the two of them, Luke and Herb were talking about their experiences in the colony.
In fact, most British people are also keen to travel and vacation as long as their own finances allow it. Luke and Sansa are no exception, but this trip takes longer and the distance is relatively long.
Albert pulled Isobel to sit on the empty seat on the side of the sofa and whispered about the content of the ultimate wizard exam in the second half of the year.
It is actually not difficult to obtain the content of the Ultimate Wizarding Examination in recent years. As long as you are willing to pay, many things can be easily solved.
Albert got a few test papers for comparison, and found that the test items had not changed much. They had always been the same. It was not difficult for Albert, who surpassed others in many fields.
Of course, he is also happy to take the time to discuss these things with Isobel. The girl still looks a little nervous and needs other things to distract her attention.
“Come and taste the mysterious magic of the East.”
Daisy came out of the kitchen with a plate of hot food, and Sansa came over to invite everyone to the dining room.
“Hmm, this thing seems to be...fried dumplings?”
Albert was a little surprised when he saw the food on the plate. He blinked and carefully identified it. He was sure that the food on the plate was fried dumplings, or it looked like fried dumplings.
Hmm, how should I say it?
The thing on the plate does not look like a dumpling, but more like a small bun. It is the kind of dumpling that is wrapped with two layers of skin and stuffed, and then pressed with something to directly form the dumpling.
"Yes, fried dumplings from the far east. I tried to make some myself last time, and they tasted really good." Daisy said, serving a large bowl of fried dumplings for Isobel, and said with a smile, "I just I made a lot, I can take some back later."
“Aren’t you ready for dipping sauce?”
Albert took a fork and tasted the fried dumplings, but he could only say they were so-so. What surprised him was that Daisy didn't prepare any dipping sauce for the fried dumplings.
“Dipping?” Daisy said with a weird expression: “I tried making some last time, but it didn’t taste very good when dipped.”
"Let me do it!"
Albert put down his fork and walked into the kitchen. After a while, he made a simple bowl of dipping sauce for dumplings. He tried it first and found that the taste was okay. The dumplings without dipping sauce were a bit bland.
Isobel also tried it with Albert and found that this kind of food called fried dumplings is surprisingly good with dipping sauces.
At Albert's suggestion, boiled and fried dumplings were also brought to the table. Everyone was very satisfied with the whole dumpling feast. According to Herb, this is what is eaten with the family at the end of the year in mysteriously Eastern countries.
Of course, this is actually just an excuse, just to try something new, and let Luke and Sansa taste the food of another country first, so that they can go to the east with a holiday mood and reduce their uneasiness.
Immigration and vacation are two different concepts, and they do not plan to stay there for too long.
The plan was successful. Luke and Sansa became curious about the legendary country rich in delicious food. They agreed to go to the eastern colonies for vacation with everyone two years later.
Luke and Sansa actually knew that they had no choice, especially after Albert got a large sum of pounds for Herb, and they understood Albert's determination to let them go on vacation abroad to avoid disaster.
Since magic exists, being able to predict the future does not seem to be an unacceptable setting, and the situation is not as bad as imagined. If Herb makes a lot of money from this, Luke seems to be able to retire early.
While enjoying dessert, the topic turned to what preparations should be made for a vacation in the East.
Several people finally accepted Albert's proposal and hired an international student who knew Chinese to take the time to teach everyone how to read and write Chinese.
As long as you have enough time and often communicate with others, learning a language is not too difficult.
The trick is to use it often.
“Have you mastered it yet?” Although Nia was asking, her tone seemed certain that Albert had already learned Chinese.
“Yes, I already know it.” Albert also did not deny that he knew Chinese.
In fact, the Anderson family has become accustomed to their son's talent in language. No matter what language the other person speaks, he can always chat with the other person very skillfully. Just like the last time he went to France and Italy, it was all Ai Bert acted as a temporary translator.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room and chatted until nine o'clock, before Albert got up and sent Isobel to a nearby park.
The girl took out her pocket watch and checked the time. After Albert had gone away, she used Apparition to go home.
After reaching adulthood at the age of seventeen, the trace will disappear on its own, and the wizard's spellcasting will no longer be restricted. Of course, the premise is not to use it in front of Muggles.
Isobel appeared at the door of her house, opened the door and walked in. Mrs. McDougal was sitting on the sofa, listening to the radio, flipping through Witch Weekly, and humming an unknown tune.
"came back."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mrs. McDougal looked up and asked, "Did you enjoy yourself today?"
"His relatives are very kind to me, and today most of them are discussing their temporary stay abroad." Isobel put the box on the table and asked, "Want some? Mrs. Daisy asked me to bring a lot back. , said to be an oriental delicacy.”
Mrs. McDougal opened the box and asked, "When are you leaving?"
“About two years later.”
“After you get married?”
“I don’t know, Albert should make arrangements.” Isobel went upstairs and asked Katrina to come down to eat dumplings. The McDougal family also found these oriental delicacies very novel.
