This Hogwarts isn't normal.

At the urging of the sous chef, the chefs stopped paying attention to Vincent's cooking.

It's just that they would take a curious look at it when they were free occasionally, and JP on the side was really feasting his eyes on it.

After draining the cod and marinating it with salt, pepper, and paprika, Vincent used his knife to make a few quick cuts on the surface of a thick sirloin steak.

He took out a new pan, added black pepper paste, yellow mustard, syrup, and butter to it and brought it to a boil.

Just stir it a few times with a spoon, and the spicy sauce is ready.

After checking the cured condition of the cod, he took out a new pan again.

After the butter melted, he put the whole thick sirloin on top.

JP nodded secretly.

The few cuts on the surface of the sirloin just now can not only cut off the slightly tough tendons, but also make the heat conduction into the interior faster.

As for the sauce prepared, it is very unique, but it should not be used on steak.

Sure enough, Vincent put the marinated cod skin side down into a new pan with melted butter.

After frying for about 3 minutes, he flipped the thick sirloin on the side and put the sauce into the cod pan.

Fish is particularly intolerant to stewing. Frying first and then boiling can make it stronger and prevent the fish from falling apart during the stewing process.

While Vincent was waiting, he was not idle as before.

He first blanched the sliced ​​asparagus and then lightly fried the halved potatoes.

The thick sirloin was flipped again and the cod on the other side was done.

Place the intact fish on a plate covered with asparagus and sprinkle a little sesame seeds on the surface.

After the six sides of the thick squid are cold-fried, the temperature of the cod has just dropped to a suitable level for eating.

Vincent placed the steak on a plate with fried potatoes, then evenly sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and finally placed two appetizers and two main courses on a tray.

"JP, I don't know how to make desserts, please make arrangements for me."

"no problem."

Vincent took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen with the tray.

JP looked at his watch and realized that it only took 15 minutes from the time he came in to the time he left.

4 dishes in 15 minutes. The appearance alone is enough to explain the heat, and there is almost no pause during the whole process. There is also the breathtaking and exquisite knife skills. Just watching from the side is a hearty cooking experience.

As for the taste, I guess it won’t be too bad.

Restaurant second floor,

Accompanied by a gorgeous melody that was both strong and soft, Vincent slowly walked towards Hermione at the table while carrying the tray.

The pianist and violinist are still playing the climax of the famous tango dance Por una Cabeza (One Step Away).

Hermione had tears in her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands, "Did you cook this yourself?"

"Yes." Vincent placed two appetizers and two main courses on the table, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Hermione lowered her little hands and shook her head gently at him.

Vincent gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, "It's not like you've never tasted what I made. Why are you so moved?"

Hermione's lips raised slightly, with a happy smile on her face, "This is different, completely different."

Girls pay great attention to occasions and rituals. How can a simple meal to fill your stomach be compared to a formal dinner?

Vincent sat down and said, "Eat it while it's hot, it will get cold later."

Hermione picked up the spoon and took a sip of cream of mushroom soup.

The taste was very ordinary, but she thought it tasted particularly delicious.

She switched to her fork and took a bite of the salad.

The taste is also very ordinary, but I think it is very delicious.

Vincent smiled and picked up the knife and fork to cut into the thick sirloin steak.

It's tender pink inside and is medium ripe.

He cut off a small piece and handed it to Hermione with his fork.

The taste was still very ordinary, but she just found it particularly delicious.

Vincent cut off a small piece of cod and handed it to her with a fork as well.

The taste is rather spicy, but still very delicious.

Hermione also picked up a piece of cut steak with a fork and handed it to his mouth, "Don't patronize me, you should eat more."

The two's intimate gesture made the pianist and violinist smile at each other.

The music gradually became brisk after a high-pitched turn.

Love Story Theme, the theme song of the classic American movie "Love Story" in the 1970s.

With the piano and violin playing tacitly, Vincent and Hermione enjoyed their dinner happily.

When the two of them took the last bite of cream of mushroom soup, JP came upstairs with dessert.

One crème brûlée and one soufflé.

JP put away the empty plates and gently placed two exquisite desserts on the table.

"You two, please use it slowly."

Hermione habitually scooped up a spoonful of pudding and handed it to Vincent's mouth.

It’s particularly sweet, even sweeter than the pavlova cake made by Chef Ramsay last time.

Vincent also took a spoonful of soufflé and handed it to her mouth.

The two desserts disappeared little by little as they fed each other.

Dinner was over and the time came to 8pm.

The two of them went downstairs to pay the bill, said hello to JP and then left the restaurant.

Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the royal blue Bugatti drove towards the road leading to Manchester.

Hermione, who was in the passenger seat, silently looked at the profile of Vincent who was concentrating on driving.

From time to time she would blush and look away shyly, but would soon look back.

Feeling strange, Vincent asked casually, "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Hermione shook her head, "I just think you look particularly good today."

Vincent glanced at himself in the rearview mirror, "Isn't it the same as usual?"

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "It's completely different, okay."

Vincent was stunned for a moment and soon understood.

It's just a more formal dinner cooked by myself, and the taste is not even comparable to that of a small restaurant on the street.

Girls are actually very easy to be satisfied, but if they are too easy to be satisfied, they will not be cherished.

He felt warm in his heart, "You look particularly beautiful today too."

Hermione looked into his blue eyes shyly, "Thank you."

"I'm serious." Vincent held her hand, "You look really good today."

Her little face turned red instantly, but her eyes did not leave his eyes.

"You...just concentrate on driving."

Vincent held her weak struggling hand tightly, "Okay, but you are not allowed to move."

The shy Hermione held his big hand and said softly "Hmm".

Manchester is neither far nor close to London.

At the end of the one-hour drive, the royal blue Bugatti parked outside Granger's house.

Hermione reluctantly let go of her hand and watched Vincent go around to the passenger side and open the door for her.

He's really sweet and attentive.

She took his hand and got out of the car. As soon as she stood up, she very suddenly stretched out her hands and put her arms around his neck on tiptoes.

Vincent was a little confused, and then felt a soft touch on his lips.

Her kiss was light and quick, just touching his lips lightly with her own lips.

"I...I'm going back first..." She hurried to the door of her house.

Perhaps she was too nervous, so she took out her keys from her bag for a long time.

Vincent stood there quietly, watching her stumble and insert the key into the door lock. After trying several times, she successfully opened the door and quickly got in.

Her courage is really getting bigger and bigger, and she actually dares to take the initiative to give her her first kiss.

He laughed to himself and sat back in the car.

The smile on his face grew warm before he started the car.

In fact, it is good to have a proactive girlfriend, which means that she really likes you.

On the other side of the door, Hermione was breathing heavily, leaning against the door with her back.

Her slender fingertips gently touched her lips, and her red face instantly became even hotter.
