Hogwarts wizard

That is to say, people nowadays, when they are full, start thinking about making something more delicious.

For people nowadays, this is not a difficult task.

With more time and more ingredients, you can use different methods to try different ingredients and what kind of effects can be achieved.

Jellal also took a piece of grilled fish and ate it. The grilled fish he made was delicious.

Hermione didn't speak anymore, but the monkeys of the Diamond Ape Tribe couldn't understand their behavior. After all, meat was really unpalatable to them.

It's not as delicious as those fruits, and they don't understand why these people like to eat it. They don't like it anyway.

But they like to imitate the way people eat, so they keep looking at Jellal and the others, hoping to learn something different.

Jellal didn't stop them either. Although they were a little embarrassed to be looked at, they could feel that they didn't mean any harm.

After eating, Jellal and Harry started walking nearby. It was still early and they planned to take a look around.

"Go to the river and have a look." Hermione suddenly suggested. In a way, she was quite curious about the thing in the river. After all, she was sure that she really saw it at that time.

Jellal nodded.

Harry was a little helpless, "Aren't you afraid that there is something that cannot be solved?"

He didn't know how to say it, but in a sense, he was a little scared.

"The three of us are just taking a look at the shore. Anyway, we can't fight and run away." Jellal said, if this thing has been in the water, there is a high probability that it will not come out.

Hermione agreed very much with Jellal's words. If this thing were on land, she might still feel scared, but this thing was in the water now, and things in the water were not that scary.

The sun has set, and the color on the lake is a little dark. During the day, it was blue reflecting the sky, but at this time, it was the green of the lake. To Jellal and the others, it looked pretty good.

"It should be nothing, right?" Harry frowned, "We are just like feeding mosquitoes now."

He shooed away the mosquitoes next to him. The resources here were indeed better, and there were really many mosquitoes near the water!

"Let's go back."

Hermione said, they had been looking at the water for a long time and found nothing. If this continued, they would really be feeding the mosquitoes.

"Let's go."

Jellal nodded. For them, it was mainly just for a walk. Whether they could see it or not was secondary.

Silent all night.

What Jellal didn't expect was that the next day, the group of monkeys brought a mountain of grapes. The grapes were overripe and purple-black, and Jellal couldn't help but eat one.

"It's so sour..."

Hermione also tasted it and said, "This little mountain grape is really sour. After a few bites, your teeth won't be able to bear it..."

After saying that, he put the rest back. The grapes were indeed sour. No wonder monkeys eat peaches more often, but less often grapes. If they were eaten directly, most creatures would not be able to bear it, especially humans. the teeth of.

"Um... I wonder if you can teach us how to make raisins?"

The old monkey said, he was a little embarrassed. In his opinion, Jellal and the others had already helped them a lot, and now they continued to trouble them. He didn't know if they would feel disgusted in their hearts.

"Of course you can, but the grapes you picked like this won't work. What kind of grapes do you want with stems on them?"

Gerard has tried it. If these grapes are dried in the sun, the water loss will be very serious. They may become dry by then. It is convenient to store them, but they will be very unpalatable to eat. .

The grapes can be dried to 80-90% dryness. That way they will taste particularly delicious and can replenish sugar in the body.

After hearing his words, the old monkey was disappointed. He took a look at the grapes. In this case, wouldn't these grapes be a pity...

"These grapes are okay, they can be used to make wine."

The grapes in the mountains are very clean and can be washed with water. Gerald and the others rinsed the grapes and put them aside to dry. The previously dried peaches had lost some of their moisture, so he took advantage of this time to turn them over.

Jellal handed the monkeys some dried peaches.

"You can try it."

After just one bite, the monkey's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, the peach contained less water and was actually more sweet. It was so delicious!

Now is the time to taste it, and the taste is better. After waiting for a long time, the water content is less, and the taste is better, but the texture is much worse.

After about two hours, I saw that the grapes had been dried in the sun and there was no moisture on the skin. Gerald picked them up and took a look. They were indeed good now.

"Then let's make wine first. In fact, it's not just wine. It's also good to make some grape juice, but grape juice is not very easy to preserve."

Hermione's eyes lit up next to her, "Geral, why don't you make some grape juice first? Grape juice is delicious!"

She is a girl and she just likes sweet things like this.

"Will it taste good? This kind of grape is too sour. The acidity in the juice is higher."

Harry said, with some uncertainty in his tone. He was really unsure. After all, the grapes were too sour. Even if Jellal made something delicious, it would be difficult to change it.

"Just add some sugar."

They used to drink more pure natural juices, the kind that didn't even add sugar, so Harry couldn't quite understand. Could such juice really taste good? It was uncertain in his mind.

After Jellal finished speaking, he started to process the grapes. The grapes were very juicy. If they were crushed with stones or hands, the juice would remain in the vessel.

In addition to grapes, he also added some leaves, which are relatively sweet. He didn't add much, but it still helped improve the taste.

Jellal poured the liquid into the bamboo tube. He gave some to Harry and Hermione, and then gave some to the apes. The old monkey smelled it.

It tasted really good, but he didn't know how it would taste, so he took a small sip.

He didn't dare to drink too much. His teeth didn't have much use. If he drank too much, it would be really fatal.

His eyes lit up, "This tastes so good. I never thought that juice could taste so good!"

Hearing his words, Jellal thought of something. He took out two original milk fruits and put the milk into the grape juice.

It turned into grape milk in an instant...

"It tastes so good..."

The Diamond Apes don't drink milk. It's not that they don't like the taste. They don't like the smell of milk, but they are completely acceptable to this kind of milk fruit.

"It's easier to make juice. You can add some sugar according to your preference. These leaves have a strong sugary flavor. I think there are a lot of them in the forest. If you like, you can pick them yourself."

Hearing Jellal's words, the old monkey nodded. They do like sweeter things. Who doesn't like desserts? If they are sour things, they won't be able to stand it if they keep eating them.

As soon as Jellal finished speaking, the old monkey arranged for a few monkeys to pick leaves.

Seemingly thinking of something, Jellal suddenly said, "Perhaps you can dry the leaves and grind them into powder. In this way, the taste will not be too different, and it will be easier to preserve..."

If there is no method, create a method. No one has tried it before, but Jellal can lead them to try it.

The method of making wine is not difficult, and they were taught it quickly, as well as raisins. In fact, they are relatively easy for Gerald, but it is not easy for ordinary people to think of them.

"By the way, you can also build some tree houses on the trees. I think there is still a lot of rain here. Even if you can bear it, those little monkeys certainly can't."

Who knew that Jellal's proposal was actually opposed, and the old monkey took a few steps back.

He looked at Jellal with a horrified look on his face.

"This is not possible. Those children can only grow up if they endure hardships! If things go smoothly, how will they be able to resist foreign enemies in the future..."

When he said this, he was quite excited. He even felt that Jellal was harming them!

Jellal was speechless after hearing his words...

"We were well protected in childhood. They are too young now. A little pain may take away their lives. I think what Jellal said is right."

Hermione said, although their current strength is not as good as the old monkey, but compared with others, it is more than enough.

Harry felt the same, "If there is no life left, then it's all just talk. There are only a few of the Diamond Apes..."

This sentence directly spoke to the heart of the old monkey. The King Kong Ape tribe is indeed very small, and its strength can be considered relatively strong, but in other aspects, it is far inferior to other races. Its reproductive ability is strong, but it can survive. Quantities are limited.

"You should have discovered that some of those diamond apes were sick when they were young, and they may not be cured when they are older..."

Jellal discovered when he first arrived that most of them were actually caused by illnesses similar to fever. Just like humans, they can easily burn out and cause some irreversible damage.

The old monkey nodded, with some surprise in his eyes, "It is true that there have been many similar problems, but I always thought it was because of the ethnic group, but I didn't expect that it was because I didn't take good care of them!"

He regrets it now. If he had met Jellal and the others earlier, maybe the result would not be like this.

"You can try it first. If it really doesn't meet your expectations, it's not too late to change it back..."

Jellal said, this is also an opportunity for the Diamond Ape Clan.

The old monkey nodded, "You can try it first. If it works, it's best. If it doesn't work, just change it back!"

It is also a bit helpless. They are not human beings and do not know human education methods. They just adhere to the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest.

If those little monkeys don't make it through, it's their own problem, it's God who doesn't give them a way to survive.

At this time, the grape-picking monkeys came back, and they brought back a lot of fresh grapes.

Jellal nodded. At this moment, he saw something with thorns on the surface of those grapes.

Chestnut?

Jellal quickly picked it up and confirmed that it was indeed a chestnut.

"Are there many such things?"

The old monkey took one look at it and said with disgust, "This is a prickly ball. There are many of them on the mountain. They are very prickly and cannot be eaten!"

…It’s simply a waste of natural resources…

Jellal broke open the thorn ball and took out the pulp inside, "This is a chestnut. It's not very tasty when eaten raw, but if it's cooked, it'll be very soft, glutinous, and sweet. It's a good kind." staple food.”

"Otherwise, you can let them collect some and see if you like it. If you don't like it, forget it. If you can still accept it, then it will be an extra kind of food in winter."

Because the people of the Diamond Ape Clan are very kind-hearted, Jellal is willing to help them as much as possible within his ability.

And the old monkey did not disappoint him. As soon as he heard that it could be used as a staple food, he sent someone else to pick it. Be brave and try!

"The chestnuts are indeed good, but I guess you just eat them directly. If it's us, we can make some delicacies."

Hermione looked at Jellal as she spoke, and the meaning in her eyes should have been clearly expressed.

Jellal glanced at Harry.

Harry waved his hand quickly, "You don't have to tell me, I understand, I'm going to catch pheasants now!"

Jellal nodded, and it was indeed easy to understand what he meant.

Jellal looked at the people leaving and began to teach them how to make raisins. Raisins were very delicious to Jellal.

There is no need to add anything else, just make sure it has the original flavor, and there are many seeds in this grape, so it is very nutritious when eaten.

The most important thing is that the production method is relatively simple. Jellal just said it once and they basically remembered it.

Much easier than drying peaches.

After picking the chestnuts, Jellal put them directly into the pot and boiled them in water. The boiled chestnuts may not be as sweet, but the amount is relatively large. If they are not boiled, fried or used in other ways, it may be more difficult.

After the chestnuts are ripe, they can be peeled easily. Jellal showed the old monkey how to eat them. The old monkey was very smart, so the monkey's learning ability is still very strong.

Looking at the steaming chestnuts, the old monkey felt a little scared. They rarely eat such cooked things, and they were still steaming. The temperature must be extremely high!

He glanced at it and met Jellal's eyes. Jellal looked at him expectantly, eager to know if this was delicious...

"It's delicious! It's so delicious. This texture is suitable for both young and old!"

Who doesn’t love delicious food?
