All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 7 Let’s eat

After getting the ingredients, Linde needed to spend a day preparing for the banquet. He turned the library tower into a magic kitchen.

When Linde was studying in London, he was often self-reliant. The conditions of the student dormitory were limited and smoke alarms were installed, so it was not convenient to cook dishes with oily smoke.At that time, Linde learned to cook foreign dishes with his roommates, mainly salads and various sauces. There were not many places that required cooking skills, because most of them were industrially prepared dishes, various canned food, especially stewed beans , can be regarded as a national-level home-cooked dish, but Linde is not used to it.

When he was working in a restaurant, he learned to make the famous British dish, fish and chips, served with various sauces, and grilled cheese, which is delicious but also greasy.Later, he met a few fellow villagers, and they went to the Asian supermarket to buy ingredients together, and they could cook Chinese food in the apartment they rented, which was a taste of nostalgia.

This meal was prepared for the people of Ximu Town. Skyrim has a long history and was the first settlement after humans migrated to Tamriel. However, such a long history does not seem to be reflected in their food culture. . Their diet is similar to that of the people of medieval Europe. The staple food is bread, accompanied by a pot of mixed vegetable stew. The common people's tableware is a long-handled spoon, because the ingredients in the stew are all rotten and small pieces, which are not needed. knife and fork.

The tables of nobles and rich people will be richer. In addition to rich stews, there will also be large pieces of barbecue, grilled fish, vegetables such as grilled leeks, cheese is of course essential, as well as donuts, Dried beets, persimmon cakes and other desserts. In terms of the form of dining, there is no strict order of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. It is more like a buffet, with dishes arranged in a row, and guests can take what they want.

Linde specially bought several Italian and French cookbooks, but not British cookbooks - those things are too cumbersome to use as toilet paper, and even the locals don't like them. You know, the best restaurants in London serve French food.

In the library tower, Linde has an omniscient eye, and his ability to absorb knowledge is greatly enhanced. He can understand the recipes he bought after reading them once. In addition, he also has basic cooking skills, so he cooked this meal well.

"There must be music." Linde waved his hand, and a soothing symphony sounded in the library tower.

He pointed to the flour sack, "Take yourself apart and go into the basin."

The sealing lines of twenty flour bags escaped like thin snakes, and the open bags were like volcanoes, spewing out white high-gluten wheat flour, like small clouds, flying into the huge stainless steel basin on the side.

Linde drew out his cypress wand, "Clear water is like a spring!"

Clean water pours into the basin and swirls to stir up the flour.

"Yeast is coming. Salt is coming."

The humidity and saltiness are just right and the dough starts to ferment. Linde directs the bacon, beef and mutton to hit the knife edge and cut into pieces.

"The fire is blazing."

Bang, a flame ignited, and more than a dozen large pots were heated at the same time, frying and frying were carried out at the same time.

The food is dancing.The scene is weird and magical.

A yellow roasted chicken stuffed apples, garlic, and onions into its belly, jumped out of the oven midway, held up a honey brush to bathe itself, soaked itself, and then quickly returned to the grill until the skin became Golden and crispy. Tomatoes, kale, and carrots were pushed and rolled under the kitchen knife. After being sliced ​​one by one, they jumped into the salad bowl and jumped like live fish in the balsamic vinegar salad dressing. The egg was spun like a top by a magical whirlwind. Each egg jumped on the handle of the egg and broke itself. The eggshell sat on the edge of the bowl and smiled as the egg white and yolk brothers fell into the whirlpool. Garlic and rosemary lie in the hot oil. After the thick-cut steak has a nice caramelized layer on one side, it slowly sits up on its own, turns over in the pan, and tilts the pan sideways to let the hot oil cook in the pan. A small lake is formed along the pile, and the hot oil soaked in spices pours on the steak like a reverse waterfall...

No matter how good the chef is, he can't take care of so many pots at the same time, but that's how magic works. All skilled housewives in the wizarding world have this ability. Linde's operation can be regarded as following the Romans, and he also used this process to hone his spellcasting ability.

Seeing that the food was all ready, Linde quickly sent an invitation letter to Ximu Town. The guard boy took the invitation letter and went door to door to persuade. When he heard that there was no limit to the drinks and eggs were given, everyone who was initially wary cheered up and came happily.

The Nord people still attach great importance to going to a banquet. Both men and women must freshen up, put on neat clothes and boots, trim their beards, and arrange their hair well. They must not be sloppy.

Lind used the transformation spell to make ten long tables and two hundred round stools in the open space outside the hut. The long table was arranged in a circle, and a stone fire pit was built in the middle. The bonfire was burning brightly. He put two sheep on the rack and roasted them, and buried more than 30 pounds of potatoes with skins in the ashes on the edge of the fire pit. .

People attending the banquet arrived one after another. Linde changed his outfit, used magic to transform his cloak and pajamas into the more fashionable cotton robes of the moment, and stood in front of the dining table and waved to everyone.

There is such a rich banquet in this wasteland, like a scene in a fairy tale fable.The food on the table is dazzling, piled up like a mountain of honey roasted chicken, huge ham meat, fried potato wedges, clam cream soup, vegetable salad... There are also dozens of large wooden barrels of beer and wine scattered all over the table Candy, chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and staple bread are packed in baskets and stacked high.

People in Ximu Town were amazed. Everyone looked at Lin De with admiration and sat down awkwardly.

"Your Majesty Ismir, I'm afraid the lords have never attended such a good banquet!" Goldo whispered to her husband Hood.

"This wine tastes really weird." Arvo the blacksmith quietly took a sip of the craft beer, his lips covered with foam.

"That's a lot of meat. Mom, please eat more later." The bard Swann touched the old mother's shoulder. The old woman was dazzled and deaf, but she heard this sentence clearly.

"Look, the knife and fork are made of silver, and the plate is also high-quality porcelain. Hmm." Lu Kan, the owner of the Brookwood Trading Company, secretly put the knife and fork in his arms, and was hit by his sister Camilla.

The guard brother couldn't believe it when he saw this, he pulled Lin aside, "Nine Holy Spirits, how much did you spend?"

"Ah, don't worry about it. Everyone is here. If you haven't come, please come quickly."

"Except for the guards who are on duty, everyone is here, even the cattle in the field are here."

"That's great. Remember to change your shift later and call the people on shift too." Linde raised his glass and gave a toast, which he summed up in one sentence, "Victory!"

There was a burst of cheers, and the people in Ximu Town started to eat and drink happily.

Linde watched these industrious and simple farmers enjoy a feast they had never experienced in this life, and suddenly remembered the dinner that Professor Dumbledore invited him to at the Leaky Cauldron a few days ago.

Halfway through the meal, the guard brother walked over to Linde in a daze, clutching a bottle of whiskey, "Uh, you haven't forgotten the business, have you?"

"Of course." Linde saw that he was so drunk and the heat was almost over, so he stood up and announced that everyone could go in and collect the eggs on their own.

Everyone smiled and followed Linde towards the wooden house, one by one with their shoulders and backs. Some people rushed into the house with their cattle in their arms, and stared blankly at the door frame if they couldn't squeeze through.

They didn't know that the door of the wooden house actually led to a library tower disguised as a storage room. If someone opened the window and looked in, they would find that there was no one inside at all.

The banquet lasted from noon to evening. Linde, a foreign wizard who had never been trusted, transformed into a loyal and good friend of the people of Ximu Town.

Goldo kindly invited him to move to the town, but Linde refused. He said that as a mage, it would be better for him to live in isolation. If anyone has any difficulties in the future, they can come to him.

After sending away the stumbling villagers of Ximu Town, Linde came back to clean up the mess left by the banquet.The residual breath left by Mora has been basically eliminated, and there is still a little left, which is attached to the poultry, and they will be dealt with when there is a chance.

The two days of busy work made him very happy. Although he was a little tired, labor was happy, especially the feeling of making new friends. These Nord barbarians were all true-hearted. Since they recognized him as My friend, you will really protect him with your life.

While cleaning up the garbage, Linde remembered another thing. The chores he would encounter would definitely increase in the future. It would undoubtedly be beneficial to have more helpers.

He is not afraid of dealing with people, but he still hopes to gain loyalty when choosing close helpers. In the world of "Harry Potter", there is such a race. They master powerful magic, are loyal to their masters, work hard without complaining, and are extremely efficient in doing things. Most importantly, they do not need wages. Provide them with Food and accommodation can meet all their needs, and the occasional small gift can keep them happy throughout the day.

This creature is a house elf, which is similar to a goblin. It is a short magical creature with pointed ears and looks like a stunted human deformity.

They were a bit ugly, but Linde thought he would like them.
