Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

By the time Yun Ci had a good nap, Severus Snape had already taken a lot of notes.

The young man was wrapped in a bulky black robe, curled up by the window where the light was fairly good, holding a book quietly.

It was still a collection of herbs. After all, there were so many herbs in China that it was impossible to record them all in one book.

Yun Ci did not disturb her, but took the clean clothes to wash and change - she was wearing the Hogwarts school uniform that was specially customized for her by Headmaster Dumbledore, but the color was black and white.

Hearing the noise, Severus Snape looked up again. The silver-haired girl was wearing a thin white shirt with the buttons at the collar unbuttoned, revealing a white collarbone, and a short black pleated skirt, which looked out of place in this slightly cold winter.

"I'm so hungry." Yun Ci took out a small piece of bread from the cupboard and ate it, then glanced at the time, "Snape, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Severus Snape was about to choke on the words he was about to complain, and silently uttered two words: "Whatever."

"Then I'll make my own decision."

Yun Ci called Tiao Tiao over. At this time, Tiao Tiao was already wearing a new suspender vest dress. These were all made by them personally using the materials, so it didn't affect anything.

“Doesn’t it need to be cooked?”

"Correct."

Tiaotiao left with doubts, and returned a few minutes later with several large plates of meat slices, chicken nuggets and sausages.

Severus Snape looked at the girl rummaging around in the bedroom and took the plate himself: "Where should I put these?"

"Put it on the stone table outside." Yun Ci said, "The smell of the hot pot is a bit strong, and I don't want to do a big cleanup - I found it."

Yun Ci brought a lot of storage bags when she came, which contained various things that might be used, as well as some vegetables and fruits. These were stuffed in under the supervision of her master, so that she could also smuggle some things into the space when using them.

Although it is not certain that someone will check these, it is better to be safe.

If you can do things more perfectly and without arousing suspicion, it will reduce a lot of trouble later.

then--

Under the watchful eyes of Severus Snape.

Yun Ci took out an iron pot and a spatula from her small purse.

Then--

Various small vegetables and fruits.

There are even some hot pot meatballs - these are made by Yunci using the abundant supplies in the space, and are also a great way to clear the space inventory.

Yun Ci took out the chopping board and kitchen knife and placed them on the stone table, then took out the washed ingredients and started cutting them.

Severus Snape: "...Can I help you?"

Yun Ci waved her hand and said, "No, you don't know how to do it either."

"I can still cut something."

After all, you need to cut something when brewing potions.

Yun Ci said that she didn't want to recall the various weird potion ingredients while eating delicious food.

——I don’t want to listen.

Yun Ci used magic to build a rack on the ground, lit a fire, fried the base of the hot pot chicken, and then poured it into the copper pot.

To be honest, if Yun Ci wasn't afraid of Severus Snape spraying venom, she really wanted to save some trouble and use the ready-made crucibles in the house to fry or blanch.

The copper pot, which was cast with the magic of space expansion, perfectly contained the rich ingredients prepared by Yunci.

The fragrant and spicy smell slowly drifted away with the blessing of the flame. Yun Ci took out a large bamboo tube of rice that she had asked Tiao Tiao to steam and placed it next to the copper pot.

"Began to eat!"

Severus Snape looked at Yun Ci's chopsticks, then at the tongs and knife and fork at hand, and remained silent.

Yun Ci blinked, holding back her laughter, and picked up a piece of chicken with a serving chopstick and put it on the plate in front of Severus Snape: "Try it quickly, I put enough ingredients, so just eat it directly."

"Or -" She moved her chopsticks, "would you rather I teach you how to use chopsticks?"

Severus Snape chose the latter.

Yun Ci demonstrated by holding chopsticks, and Severus Snape imitated him awkwardly.

The charcoal in the copper pot happened to be burning all the time, giving them enough time to study without having to worry about the food getting cold.

But it didn't take Severus Snape long.

Yun Ci taught him twice, and he was able to pick up things by himself.

Although he couldn't use chopsticks to pick up the food the whole time - it would fall off - at least he could put it into his own cutlery.

"--This looks delicious." Dumbledore suddenly appeared beside the stone table. "Would you mind if you two add an old man to the group?"

Yun Ci looked at Severus Snape.

Although Severus Snape didn't like Gryffindor, the person in front of him was the headmaster.

He just frowned slightly, then nodded, but the joy floating around him decreased and became a little more gloomy.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Principal."

Dumbledore smiled as if he didn't notice anything, holding the chopsticks like a naughty boy: "This is really a difficult tableware to learn."

It is really admirable that the Chinese can use it as if they were controlling their own hands.

Yun Ci said politely: "Because we are used to it."

When we were young, we also had to learn how to use chopsticks.

As someone who knows this food well, Yun Ci recommended to the two which ingredient was the most delicious, but in fact, every taste was delicious because each one was grown in a space full of spiritual energy.

Dumbledore couldn't help but say: "These green vegetables are much more delicious than meat."

He almost couldn't stop.

Severus Snape also ate a little more than usual, just a little.

Because the taste of this delicacy is relatively strong - even though Yunci has reduced the spiciness and saltiness.

Severus Snape didn't want to eat too much to affect his taste buds, as it would not help him in making potions.

Yunci consumed most of the food in the copper pot, eating all the ingredients cleanly.

After the meal, everyone held a cup of hawthorn apple tea and drank it slowly.

It has a sweet and sour taste and is very helpful in digesting food.

Today is Christmas.

Hogwarts arranged a Christmas dinner in the evening. Although there were not many people, the decorations here were not perfunctory at all.

But Yunci and Severus Snape, who had a full lunch, did not attend.

The two of them huddled in the bamboo hut, one studying potions in the alchemy room, the other reading a book borrowed from the library.

Yun Ci had a feather pen and parchment at her side, on which she would write down her thoughts from time to time.

A strong medicinal smell wafted through her nostrils. Yun Ci got used to the strong smell a little, but she still didn't like it.

She waved her wand, summoning a breeze, which playfully blew over the edge of the boy's robe, carrying away the scent of the potion.

Severus Snape corked the glass bottle and looked up at Yun Ci.

"?"

Yun Ci shook her wand: "It's a bit boring, do you want to play PK to kill time?"

Severus Snape's eyes lit up slightly, and he walked towards Yun Ci with his wand in hand without hesitation.

"I would love to—"
