When Hope arrived at the kitchen, he could still see the busy kitchen. It was still a few hours before dinner, but the house elves were already busy in advance.

""Mr. Hope, are you here to see me?"

Before Hope could say anything, Biton came out first, his excitement visible to the naked eye.

He immediately stated his purpose and asked to borrow the kitchen utensils.

"Of course there is no problem with that, but... the eggs in the kitchen belong to Hogwarts' property, and Bitton has no right to give them to you."

Bitton said with some embarrassment. Borrowing the kitchen is a small matter, but eggs are small things, but they are the property of Hogwarts. As house elves, they have no right to give them to Hogwarts on behalf of their master.

"I can buy them with my own money!"

Hope naturally understood, and also learned from Beeton about the source of raw materials for Hogwarts' food.

But he didn't expect that this was related to goblins.

As the vice-president, Professor McGonagall was usually responsible for handling the school's affairs. Of course, she was not specifically responsible for these food purchases. She was only responsible for approving the money, and the rest was entirely left to the house-elves.

As house-elves, they were reliable enough to handle these matters.

Every morning, a team of house-elves would go out, like Little Red Riding Hood picking mushrooms, and go out happily.

In the end, they spent money to buy them from the goblins, and then brought them all back.

As for the source of these foods, Beeton didn't know.

However, according to Hope's guess, it was probably from the Muggle society.

He didn't believe that these wizards would farm themselves. Even with magic, it would not be as easy as buying directly.

As for house-elves, they were only available in pure-blood families. They were already scarce on the market. How could these house-elves be allowed to farm?

"Beaton is happy to help Mr. Hope!"

As long as it doesn't involve money, Beaton is still easy to talk to. He volunteered directly, which made Hope feel relieved.

Even if he is not their owner, he can get their help as long as he makes a little friend. This is really worthwhile.

After thinking about it, Hope took out his purse from his pocket and handed it to Beaton.

""Well, please check how many eggs you can buy with the Galleons here. If it's enough, buy 5,000 eggs. If not, buy as many as you can."

Hope didn't know the prices, so he had to leave it all to Beeton.

If Galleons were not enough, he would have to go to Gringotts to get money.

But going to Gringotts was a hassle, especially as a first-year student, unlike third-year students who could go in and out of Hogsmeade on weekends.

But it was not impossible to sneak out

"Five thousand?!"

When Beeton heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Hope in surprise. This number was beyond his imagination. Even the entire Hogwarts could not digest five thousand eggs.

"Mr. Hope, what are you going to do with all those eggs?"

"Eat!"

Hope said without hesitation. It was only five thousand pills. He had a devouring trait, but he had never tried it.

Of course, he didn't want to expose it in front of these house-elves.

Even if he couldn't finish eating them, he could share them with... the house-elves, or just use them as dinner for Hogwarts.

After all, the exclusive task only mentioned cooking food, so how to deal with the food was not a requirement of the task.

Beaton looked a little hesitant, but he had to insist on it under Hope's insistence.

Hope just waited in the kitchen, and Beaton directly cast Apparition and left.

Hope was a little jealous. He thought he could get this trait, but it turned out not to be the case.

If he had this trait, he could go anywhere.

Coupled with the ten thousand times trait, he didn't believe that the anti-Apparition magic of Hogwarts or other places could stop him. to hold him.

After a while, Beaton came back, but he only had his purse in his hand and nothing else.

But he did not return empty-handed, as he brought him a good news and a bad news.

The good news was that the eggs were cheap enough, one Galleon could buy fifty eggs, and five thousand eggs only cost one hundred Galleons, which was cheaper than he expected. It seemed that he did not need to go to Gringotts to withdraw money.

As for the bad news, there were not so many eggs, and there were only about one thousand eggs in stock at present.

But they could be reserved in advance, and the goblins would be able to get the remaining eggs early tomorrow morning.

Hope naturally had no objection, it was just one more day, no problem at all. Then Beaton left again, and when he reappeared, he was still holding the wooden box of eggs in his hand, which contained eggs. He moved the eggs back and forth five or six times before he could move the thousand eggs.

Many eggs were brought back.

Hope was very happy to see this, and immediately chose an empty large pot to boil water.

Although the food in the UK is relatively simple, the kitchen tools in Hogwarts are still very complete.

The firewood was brought by Beeton, and the fire was also lit by Beeton.

But at least the water in the pot was poured into it by Hope himself.

The fire burned the iron pot, and from time to time, you could hear the crackling sound from the firewood.

After a while, the fire was already boiling, emitting billowing hot steam. Just standing in front of it, you could feel the full temperature.

Hope took out two eggs directly and stretched out his hand carefully, a little worried about being splashed by the boiling water.

Plop!

The two eggs fell into the boiling water, and quickly turned from raw eggs to cooked eggs under the boiling water.

Hope did not rush to fish them out, but opened the system to take a look.

The progress of fusing house-elves has increased by two compared to before. point, which means that each egg is considered an independent food, even if they are cooked at the same time.

This made Hope's face happy. It seems that he doesn't need to cook them one by one. Even if it's just boiling eggs, if it really needs to be repeated five thousand times, it will be a big project.

Since the cooking is completed, Hope is not worried that Biton's intervention will make the system determine that he did not cook the food himself, and immediately asked Biton to help fish it out.

The next thing is very simple. He only needs to keep throwing raw eggs into the big pot, and Biton will be responsible for fishing them out after they are cooked. Don't be too comfortable with this division of labor.

As time slowly passed, his analysis progress continued to soar, and there were more pots of cooked eggs next to the big pot.

Hope hurriedly called the house elves in the kitchen to help solve it.

Although it was just an ordinary, tasteless cooked egg, it was Hope's friendship.

Although it was a help, Hope's words were to invite the house elves to eat eggs. How could such a kind gesture make these house elves refuse?

Hope was in a very good mood. Look! Although these house elves look special, they are really good at something.

Just because of the egg-eating favor today, the affairs of these house-elves will be his, Hope's affairs, and his, Hope's affairs will be the affairs of these house-elves!
