Hogwarts wizard

Because of Jellal's tools, it was much easier for them to operate. With just a few strokes of the net, three or four fish were caught.

The fish scales were intact, and the fish inside was also alive and kicking. Jellal scratched it with a knife. The fish meat was white and very tender, and except for one spine with thorns, there were no other parts.

It makes people drool just looking at it.

“This fish tastes delicious no matter how you cook it!”

Jellal and the others collected a few fish and brought them to Dobby. To Dobby, this fish was much better than the ones at Hogwarts, and it was very fresh.

Hearing Dobby's words, Hermione nodded, but she looked at the amount and said, "It's not a lot. We must at least prepare things for the evening."

They are outside now. For safety reasons, they cannot stay outside at night. Looking at the time now, it is probably one or two o'clock in the afternoon. By the time they finish eating, it will be about three or four o'clock.

This time is a bit early, they must still need something to eat at night, but they don't have enough food now.

If nothing else, Jellal is a big eater, so you should at least consider his appetite.

Her words also resonated with Jellal and Harry.

Jellal took out some vegetables and beef from the ring, "I brought a lot of things, but we mainly have to hunt this time. Harry, you and Dobby are waiting here, Hermione and I will go somewhere else." Take a look and see if there are any other animals.”

The chicken tastes very good, and the fish in the river is also delicious. It will probably become their main ingredient during this time.

Fortunately, they brought Dobby with them, otherwise Jellal and the others wouldn't be making different things every day.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Harry couldn't help but said to Dobby, "I always feel that his arrangement was intentional."

Dobby took a look at the movements of his hands. The fish's scales slipped from the fish's body. He looked very skillful in picking it up.

"Dobby thought maybe it was because you could handle the fish so well..."

When Dobby said this, he also pointed at the movements of Harry's hands, which seemed to be very skillful indeed, and he didn't blame Jellal for leaving him behind.

"Jeral handled it well too."

Harry was a little depressed when he said this, Jellal did handle it well.

"You want to go out alone with Hermione?"

Dobby looked at him with a strange expression. Kreacher told him many love stories. Could it be that Jellal and Harry had encountered something like this?

Two men fall in love with the same woman.

"Don't love her, there will be no results!"

Dobby looked regretful and sighed.

Harry quickly waved his hand, "No, I didn't! I just don't want to deal with the fish."

The fish meat looked very delicate, but the process of processing it was really fishy. Harry felt that he had worked very hard to endure it.

But...it doesn't seem to have much effect.

"You can stay, Dobby will handle it."

Dobby said seriously. For him, handling ingredients is a required course. Although there are a lot of ingredients now, it should not be difficult to handle them.

"Forget it, I've already got my hands on it, and what happens after that won't matter."

Then the two people began to deal with it in a tacit understanding. As for Jellal and Hermione on the other side, they walked deeper into the forest.

"The water resources here are very rich, and there should be some large herbivores."

Hermione looked at the surrounding environment, and he also looked at the water source in the distance, where there were some scattered footprints.

"Let's go downstream and have a look!"

Jellal suggested.

Generally, there is an unwritten rule among animals, that is, they will not destroy the water source, so no matter what the reason is, there will be relatively fewer animals in the upstream where they are.

"Jeral, wait a minute, there are some wild pears here, perfect for quenching your thirst!"

Hermione climbed up the tree in a few seconds, picked two wild pears, and threw one to Gerald.

I took a bite of the water and sipped it directly. The taste was sweet with sourness, and a little bit of pear flavor.

"It's very fresh, pick some." When Hermione said this, she was actually a little disappointed, because this kind of freshness also happened to show that the taste of pears is not strong.

However, there are always some delicious fruits and some not-so-palatable fruits in the wild. It’s not a big deal. If this one doesn’t taste good, they can just change it to another one. This is not a big deal.

There are many fruit trees here. If you want to know whether you can eat them or not, just look at the reactions of the birds and bugs.

If the fruit is not eaten by birds and insects, it is most likely completely inedible, but if both birds and insects like it, it is a very sweet fruit.

Occasionally a bird will peck at this tree, which means that this wild pear is edible, but the taste may not be that good.

Jellal put the pears away while looking into the distance, and soon he whispered to Hermione.

"Hermione, come down quickly..."

Hermione climbed down quickly, her movements gentle.

Jellal told her to go down, she must have discovered something.

"What did you find?"

Hermione asked Jellal as soon as she got up, and Jellal pointed to his ear.

Hermione understood what he meant and listened.

"What..."

There was a sound in the distance, like a goat or something.

"Like a sheep."

Hermione whispered, and soon a group of sheep appeared in their sight, looking very leisurely, walking towards the river.

When they drink water, they always pay attention to the movements around them.

Looking at what the surrounding environment is like, he looks very alert.

When Hermione saw this scene, she was about to step forward to catch the sheep, but Jellal quickly stopped her.

"Hermione, wait a minute, we can't go directly..."

Hearing Jellal's words, Hermione was a little confused, "They are drinking water. It is the time to relax their vigilance. Why can't they go over?"

Jellal shook his head, "This is a bit similar to the rules between animals. Carnivores will not hunt in the water source. On the one hand, it is easy to pollute the water source. On the other hand, hunting animals only kills the old, sick and weak." , so that they can reproduce well.”

"With so many sheep, how can you tell that they are old, sick, and weak..."

Hermione muttered in a low voice. She was indeed a little dissatisfied with the fact that she couldn't take action, but Jellal's words also made sense.

Having said that, she was willing to listen.

"For predators, the one that runs slower is the one that runs slower, but for us, it doesn't matter which one we catch."

Jellal looked at the sheep in the distance and licked his lips. Fat ones are much better than dry ones with no meat, right?

"Let's get closer, and when they leave the water source, we'll chase them!"

Hermione nodded, feeling a little excited because this way she could eat mutton.

However, she was not sure how good Dobby was at cooking mutton. After all, Hogwarts had many ingredients, but not all of them were available, and Hermione had never seen them before.

"it is good!"

The two people approached slowly, it was better not to disturb them.

Jellal is actually a little lucky. Fortunately, he can only hear the voices of some relatively spiritual creatures. If he can even hear the voices of cattle and sheep, then he may have to say goodbye to meat. This is something he is not willing to do. .

What he doesn't want to do is not killing, but he doesn't want to say goodbye to meat...

But Hermione didn't know what he was thinking. Hermione always thought that Jellal could only communicate with a few kinds of creatures, and even counting them, there was nothing.

They waited for a short while and saw the sheep running to the side. It seemed that they were preparing to leave. Jellal and Hermione hurriedly followed.

"Space confinement!"

Jellal imprisoned the two sheep with a single spell, and the other sheep ran away when they sensed the danger.

But Jellal and Hermione had achieved their goal, so they didn't care about the other sheep.

Hermione gave Jellal a thumbs up. If nothing else, the two sheep Jellal caught looked very fat and tender. They should be delicious!

Jellal tied the sheep with a rope. The freshly killed ones should be much more delicious than the dead ones!

Jellal thought so.

"You take one and I take one."

Hermione also knew that there was no way to store living creatures in Jellal's space, so this thing had to be operated manually.

Jellal lifted both sheep up, "Each one only weighs less than 200 kilograms, no problem!"

It's just a piece of cake for him.

"If you feel like you want to do something, just see if there are any fruits or the like on the way back. There are quite a lot of water, but they don't have much flavor. They're not as good as fruits to quench your thirst."

Jellal said, why couldn't he see that Hermione felt that Jellal had done everything, and it would not look good if she did nothing.

"Okay!" Hermione became happy when she heard Jellal say this. After all, no one wants to be a useless person.

When the two of them went back, Harry was scraping the fish meat, and there was also a lot of fish meat in the basin next to it. The full basin looked pink and tender.

"Has it been processed so quickly?" Jellal looked at the fish. He really didn't expect that Harry could handle it so well.

Dobby was a little helpless, "I just said that Harry is very good at handling ingredients!"

"There are no spines in this fish, so it's easier to handle." Harry felt a little embarrassed when he heard their compliments. In fact, he just did it casually based on his own ideas, and he didn't expect that he would be recognized by everyone.

"That's pretty awesome. If it were me, I'd probably give up on removing the fish scales."

Hermione looked at the fish. Ginger and garlic juice had been added to the fish, and the fishy smell had been completely removed. It smelled pretty good.

It has a very natural and fresh taste, just like wild pear, unique to this mountain species.

This taste must be delicious after sitting down!

Hermione thought as she and Jellal went to boil water.

"Let's make one of these lambs today. How about roasting the whole lamb?" Jellal asked. He didn't know if they were used to eating lamb.

"Okay, Jellal, you can keep all the haggis. Dobby will clean it himself later, and we will use them to make a soup."

Dobby suggested that most of their food today would be meat, with some vegetables, but roasting the whole lamb would be a bit more intense. If paired with hot mutton soup, it would taste much better and be very nutritious. .

"Okay, I think this is great for making soup!" Jellal said, "I've also heard that haggis soup is very delicious, but I haven't eaten it yet."

After he finished speaking, he saw the fish next to him, "Dobby! I have an idea, how about you try combining fish balls and haggis soup! I heard the Mirror of Erised say that the Eastern word fish and sheep Just for freshness, you can give it a try!”

Jellal's eyes lit up. No matter how it was processed, the mutton always had a unique smell. When grilled, the smell was minimal.

Dobby actually didn't know much about mutton cooking. Jellal believed in him, but that didn't mean that he believed in himself.

"Okay, you can try it. Even if it's not done well, at least the other things are still edible. Maybe they will taste good!"

They are gambling now, but who knows until the results come out.

After making the decision, Gerald took care of the sheep. They handled it quickly. While waiting for the grill to be set up, they began to deal with the baobab trees and start to open up space.

Jellal hollowed out the central part, which was not too troublesome to solve. However, the hole he made was not particularly big. After all, it was also inside the tree, and they could not use an open flame.

If the space is smaller, they will stay warmer while sleeping and it will help preserve food.

Jellal also left something at the entrance of the cave to block it, otherwise small animals might disturb him at night.

After finishing cooking, he turned the roasted whole lamb over and brushed it with a lot of honey, so that the skin would be crispy and the juice would be locked in the lamb, making it not greasy at all.

As for the rest, he just sprinkled some salt, and as for cumin, chili pepper, etc., he wanted to use whatever they liked when eating.

After all, everyone has different tastes, and he should try his best to satisfy each of them.

The key to roasting whole lamb lies in the roasting temperature.

With Jellal's method, the heat is just right, and it will definitely taste very good when the time comes.

On the other hand, Dobby's fish balls and haggis soup were also prepared. They could smell the umami clearly without adding anything.

As always, the bet is right.

"Gurgling..." Hermione's stomach growled, and she was a little embarrassed, but then Jellal's stomachs all growled as well...

It was getting dark, and it took them a long time to prepare and process the ingredients.

"It's ready, Jellal, bring out some dishes, we're going to start eating!"

Dobby opened the pot very excitedly. It would be dark if they didn't eat. The forest at night was very dangerous.
