Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

"Wow, Chen Yu, you actually dare to call the mysterious person by his name."

Ron looked at Chen Yu in surprise, surprised that Chen Yu directly called Voldemort by his name.

"What's this? I've also read Voldemort's name in the book. Wasn't he defeated by Harry and disappeared from sight? There has been no news about him for so many years, so he might have died long ago."

Hermione didn't care. She had never experienced that dark age, so she naturally didn't know the fear that the title of Dark Lord held in the hearts of pure-blood wizard families.

Ron swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Hermione, you haven't experienced that dark age, so you can't understand the fear of wizards at all. People die every day, or are killed by mysterious people, or are eaten by his men." Killed by the Dead Apostles. Everyone was afraid until the mysterious man met Harry and then disappeared. Everyone said that the Dark Lord was dead, but no one could confirm that he was indeed dead. Many adult wizards were afraid, afraid The comeback of the mysterious man whose name I dare not say.”

Seeing Ron's reaction, Hermione fell silent and said nothing.

The entire table fell into an eerie silence.

Chen Yu hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "You guys talk first, and I'll go see how Dora and the others are preparing."

When Chen Yu left, the scene became even more deserted...

Soon Chen Yu came back with a bunch of ingredients and seven or eight house elves.

Seven or eight house elves, they were holding large trays. Some of them were placed with slices of meat as thin as cicada wings, some were placed with various tableware, and some were placed with some food that looked... Unknown ingredients.

"Hey, Chen Yu, what ingredients did you bring? Why does it look so...indescribable?"

Ron pointed with trembling fingers at the food on the tray above the elf's head.

"These? They are all commonly used ingredients for shabu-shabu. Look at these broken internal organs, coagulated blood, entangled tentacles, lifeless eyes, twisted plants, shriveled limbs, mutilated brains, and scarlet fruits. Isn't that right? Feeling very appetizing?"

Chen Yu explained to Ron with a smile.

Ron looked at Chen Yu in horror: "Are you sure the adjective you used is not describing the murder scene?"

Harry, Neville, and Seamus were also trembling, regretting following Chen Yu here. They didn't expect Chen Yu's taste to be so strong.

British people are not used to eating animal offal, and Harry, Neville, and Seamus have not eaten these things either.

Only Hermione, who had been to a hot pot restaurant in Chinatown, rolled her eyes and asked Chen Yu to speak properly.

"It's money belly, blood tofu, squid tentacles, sheep's eyeballs, kelp knots, various marinated meats, scallops, and tomatoes. By the way, I've prepared four flavors of soup base. Do you like clear soup, slightly spicy, or spicy? , Extra spicy?”

"Of course, I recommend you to try clear soup, mild spicy soup and spicy soup. You'd better not try it lightly, otherwise your stomach won't be able to bear it."

As he spoke, Chen Yu arranged the crucibles brought by the four people, poured in the large bone soup that had been boiled in advance, and made the soup base in four degrees: clear soup, mild spicy, spicy, and extra spicy.

The soup is bone soup, which is a fresh soup made with pork bones, beef bones, chicken bones, and duck bones. It is sprinkled with green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, skim off the foam, and simmer for eight hours.

Chen Yu was especially grateful to the house elves at Hogwarts. They were the only ones here who could be so patient and work in the kitchen for so long.

The whole soup is golden in color and exudes a charming fragrance.

The clear soup pot is a mushroom soup made from various mushrooms, and then some tomatoes are added for decoration.

The mildly spicy hot pot contains habanero peppers, which have the aroma of tropical flowers and fruits, and are very suitable for Harry and others who are new to hot pot.

The spicy hot pot is filled with jalapeno peppers. The spiciness is mild to spicy. It is an advanced version of slightly spicy. It also adds a lot of peppercorns to enhance the spicy taste.

There is only the abnormal spicy pot. Chen Yu added Chaotian pepper, Erjingjiao and bell pepper, and the whole soup turned into the bright red color of pepper.

The soup is constantly tumbling in the hot pot, and the hot steam spurting out is exuding mouth-watering heat.

Harry and the others were sweating and drooling as they watched.

The elves placed the ingredients and tableware for hot pot on the dining table, bowed and disappeared.

Harry also discovered that the elf had placed many small bowls on the table, and the bowls contained various powders and soups that Harry had rarely seen before.

"Chen Yu, what are these?"

"This is the soul of hot pot - dipping sauce. Let me introduce it solemnly. This is minced garlic, this is crushed peanuts, this is beef sauce, this is sesame sauce, this is Worcestershire sauce, this is sesame oil, this is vinegar, this is It’s oyster sauce, it’s white sesame seeds, it’s cumin, it’s fermented bean curd, it’s chive flowers…”

Chen Yu pointed at the dipping sauces on the plate and introduced them one by one. When it came to the coriander foam, Chen Yu explained alone: ​​"This is coriander foam, a very magical coriander. People who like to eat it think it is very delicious. No. People who like to eat can't eat it at all, so you can do whatever you want. From a personal point of view, I prefer to eat coriander."

After introducing the dipping sauce, Chen Yu said to Harry, Hermione and others: "Please follow me next, I will teach you how to eat hot pot. Each person first uses a spoon to scoop a bowl of clear soup from the clear soup pot and put it into a bowl. If you like If you want to drink spicy food, you can also ladle the soup from other pots. The soup base is the most delicious before the dishes are served. When the dishes are served, the taste will be mixed, and I personally feel that it is not so fresh."

Chen Yu scooped a spoonful of fresh soup into his own bowl, and the others followed suit.

Ron picked up a pair of chopsticks and looked left and right in confusion: "Chen Yu, what is this thing for? It feels like a magic wand."

Chen Yu explained: "These are chopsticks, the tableware used by Oriental people. It will be very convenient if you learn to use chopsticks to eat. I will teach you how to use them. If you find it troublesome, it is not impossible to eat with a spoon."

"Also, what is this? What a strange spoon."

This time it was Neville who raised his hand and asked, pointing to the colander.

Chen Yu knew that it was the first time for his friends to eat hot pot, so he patiently explained to them one question after another.

Feeling that all the friends had asked about it, Chen Yu started to educate his friends on how to eat hot pot: "The dipping sauce is the soul of hot pot. Without the dipping sauce, it would be like the lost Jerusalem in the West, the 3D area is lost... ahem Cough, um, it’s nothing. Let’s continue. Beginners recommend the minced garlic oil dish, sesame oil + minced garlic + shallots + coriander + salt. This is the most basic dipping sauce for hot pot. It can make the food smoother and taste better. It’s mellow and fragrant, and it can also stimulate your taste buds and appetite, leaving you wanting more! It’s the perfect dipping sauce for spicy hotpot.”

"Next is the dry dish dipping sauce. It is recommended to use the combination of white sesame seeds + chopped green onion + minced coriander + chili powder + cumin + salt. It is suitable for dipping meat, brains, duck blood, etc., and add a piece of dry dish dipping sauce in one mouthful Duck blood is simply my favorite!”

“The last is the sesame sauce dipping sauce. It is recommended to use sesame sauce + fermented bean curd + chive flower sauce + salt. This is a must-have dipping sauce for mutton shabu-shabu. They are a perfect match!”

Chen Yu said while combining various condiments.

When Chen Yu finished speaking, Harry, Hermione, Ron and others' eyes widened and they swallowed hard.

"Of course, you can freely combine the above. Remember, vegetables can be eaten after boiling them for one minute, and duck intestines can be eaten after they are blanched and rolled. Lettuce slices should not be blanched for too long. , otherwise it will lose its crispiness. Blanch kelp for about five minutes, and thick meat slices and blood for about ten minutes. If the meat feels greasy, you can drink juice to relieve the greasiness. If you still don’t understand, you can ask me at any time!”

Chen Yu paused, cleared his voice, and then announced: "To celebrate Harry becoming the youngest Seeker of this century, dinner is served now!"

"Oooo!"
