Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 808 report

   "Recently, don't eat beef."

   Albert stared at the evening news on TV, frowned slightly, and said to Grandpa Luke who was sitting across from him while reading the newspaper and teasing the cat.

   "We haven't eaten beef for a long time, and no one dares to eat beef now."

  Sansa put the cut fruit plate on the table and watched the news broadcast on TV. The announcer was struggling to report mad cow disease.

  Since the outbreak of mad cow disease in the UK in May until now, the government has still not found the cause of mad cow disease, and this symptom has a tendency to spread to other countries. "

   "They must have found the reason, but they dare not tell the truth. It is likely that there is a problem with the feed of the cattle." Albert inserted a piece of pineapple into his mouth, and the taste was not bad.

   It is said that pineapples used to be very valuable in Europe, and only rich people could afford them, so many rich people in Europe like to eat pineapples or candied pineapple.

   Of course, they like to cook pineapple as a dish.

Under Albert's strong suggestion, the Anderson family has changed the way of eating pineapple. Instead of cooking pineapple as a vegetable, they will cut the pineapple and soak it in salt water for more than half an hour, and then take it out to taste as fruit. There will be no sour taste.

   "Feed?" Luke was surprised and didn't understand why Albert said that. Does he know anything?

  But... what can Albert know, he spends most of his time in the magic world now.

   "Cannibalism."

  Albert remembered that the cause of mad cow disease was cannibalism. "I remember seeing it somewhere. It is said that the aborigines of a certain island have the custom of eating the internal organs of the dead, and they have very serious similar symptoms."

   "Don't say it so scary, okay?"

Nia, who had wet hair just after taking a shower, came out of the bathroom wearing a light pink nightgown. While wiping her wet hair with a dry towel, she inserted a piece of Polo from the tray and put it into her mouth, asking, "Go on?" Do you still have the beauty potion from last time?”

   "Have you used up all those?" Albert was very surprised. He remembered that he had prepared a lot of them for his family last time.

"They were all taken away by my mother, and she told me to ask you for them." Nia sat next to Albert, rubbing her hair with a dry towel, with a little helplessness on her rosy face, her beauty potion Almost used up, girls are very concerned about their appearance.

"I still have some over there, you can use them first, and I'll make some for you next time when you have time." Albert felt a faint scent of roses blowing over his face. It was the shampoo and shower gel on Nia's body. scent.

  Isobel's shampoo has a hint of clove, which she liked when she was in France last time, and Albert bought her a dozen for it.

  Nia suddenly leaned forward, leaning in front of Albert and looking up and down.

"What's wrong?"

   Albert reached out and gently pushed Nia's small face away.

   "I'm just curious that you can actually use this thing." Nia reached out and pulled Albert's cheek as she spoke, as if she wanted to see if someone was pretending to be Albert.

   "Of course I also care a little bit about my image. Since I can become a handsome guy, who wants to be ugly."

  Albert also uses beauty potion, of course, when he washes his face, he will apply it a little bit, and the effect is not bad. At least, you don't have to worry about pimples anymore. Young men and women aged 17 or 18 are prone to this kind of problem. No one likes their face to be full of pimples.

   To some extent, Albert is more like a boy than Digory, but no one dares to call him that.

   "Don't you need a hair dryer?" Albert changed the topic, "Blow it, the hair will be easier to dry, and I will go to bed later."

   "Aren't you going to take a shower first?" Nia asked back.

"Um."

  Albert went to the bathroom. He planned to simply rinse off so that the summer night would not be so stuffy. While soaking in the bathtub, the voices of Nia and Sansa came from outside. They were discussing the news on TV, as if they were saying that the school also banned beef from appearing in food.

   "This era is really scary."

   Albert sighed softly. He remembered that mad cow disease can be transmitted to humans.

  Although milk doesn't seem to be contagious, this incident directly caused him to lose his appetite for drinking milk in the morning.

   When Albert came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, the mad cow disease was still being reported on TV, and an expert was talking with the broadcaster.

  To be honest, Albert instinctively hates the word expert.

  In the previous life, there was a saying that "experts are dogs", and most of the people who can appear on the TV screen are this kind of stuff.

"Mad cow disease can be transmitted to humans." Albert moved Tom aside and said to the three people who were watching TV, "Just listen to the expert talk show next time. Ninety-nine percent of these guys are paid or it was thrown out by the government to quell the incident."

   "Really?" Nia couldn't help shivering, "Then we used to..."

   "Don't worry, it's usually not that easy to get infected, just don't touch it in the future." Albert stretched out his hand and touched Nia's head, comforting her softly.

   "What's the reason?" Luke put down the newspaper and frowned and asked, "Why is there a large-scale outbreak of this symptom in China?"

"It is said that the feed merchants mixed some cow's viscera and body parts into the feed to provide protein for beef cattle." Albert picked up a kitten from under his feet, playing with its ears, and said : "This is probably the source of the disaster."

   "Those people really do anything for money." Luke looked very angry, and ordinary people today are very disturbed when talking about this matter, and no one dares to eat beef anymore.

   "It's useless for you to be angry here. The government obviously doesn't want ordinary people to know about this, so they let experts come forward to calm the storm." Shana said to the two: "You guys also go to rest early."

"Um."

   After the two old people returned to the master bedroom, Albert turned off the TV and said to Nia beside him: "Okay, you should go to bed too, staying up late is not good for your skin."

   "Don't think I don't know what you want to do." Nia pouted, "Someone always sneaks out on dates at night."

   "I lock the door at night." Albert said.

"The last time I was looking for a cat, you weren't in the bedroom." Nia's eyes shone with victory, "Actually, you can just bring her to stay at home for a few days. Grandpa Luke and Grandma Sansa will probably be very happy." Glad you brought your girlfriend back."

   "Isobel plans to publish a book, and I will occasionally go over to give her some advice." Albert coughed lightly, "After all, I also have a copy of that book."

   "I thought you would bite to death and deny it, thinking that your cute sister was fooling you."

   "You forgot, I can easily read other people's minds." Albert reached out and rubbed Nia, and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

   "I saw a dress in a magazine, and I hope it can be my birthday present." Nia got a magazine from somewhere, and pointed to the beautiful dress on it and said to Albert.

   "Your birthday is still a few months away." Albert reminded.

   "Take it as an advance payment." Nia said.

   "It's not good to spend ahead of time." Albert reached out and picked up the "Daily Prophet" from the table, looked at Nia and asked, "Didn't Herb give you 10,000 pocket money, and you spent all of it?"

"I used it to buy some funds and stocks to test the waters, and Uncle Charlie helped me set up an account." Nia pouted and said, "So, I have no money to buy things now, so I can only ask you to advance my birthday present .”

   "You are not afraid of losing all your money." Albert was a little speechless, because Nia did not lie. She has indeed been studying economics, finance and how to make money in business recently, but most of the time she is losing money.

   "It always takes money to try and make mistakes, but not everyone can predict the future like you." Nia said confidently, "I need to accumulate experience and understand the situation."

"That's true, but if you want to try and make mistakes, you can go to the East with Herb. The cost of trial and error over there is relatively low, and it is relatively easy to make money. Especially with start-up funds, it is easy to make money in the right direction, no matter what you do in the future. Even if you don’t understand, you can lie down and collect money.”

   "No wonder mom ran over." Nia suddenly understood why Daisy went to the east, if it was really what Albert said.

   "Okay, birthday present." Albert looked at the price of the dress in the magazine, and said to Nia, "It's been a long time since we went shopping together."

   "Oh, I knew Albert was the best!" Nia said excitedly, and even hugged Albert and kissed his face, "Tomorrow I will tell Grandpa Luke about going shopping."

   "I really like to take advantage of me." Albert shook his head.

After returning to the bedroom, Albert tried to get in touch with Isobel through the double-sided mirror. While waiting for a response from there, he picked up today's "Prophet Newspaper" and flipped through it, but was caught by an article in the newspaper Attracted attention, and even Isobel's voice was temporarily blocked by him.

This is impossible!

   Pettigrew Peter actually died?
