Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 120: The bird that lays the silver egg

Before leaving the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid specially helped Albert to dig some matsutake mushrooms, but the number of these things was rare, and in the end, few were found.

As soon as Hagrid opened the door to the hut, Fang Fang, the black hound, strung out from the hut, happily running around a few people, and liked to sniff everywhere.

Albert crouched down and touched Fang's head, letting it settle down.

Hagrid took out the matsutake mushrooms in his pocket and put them all on the table. He picked up a matsutake mushroom in his hand, looked up and down and asked, "Are you sure this thing is really delicious when grilled over charcoal?"

"Let me handle it!" Albert said to himself, he was as stable as Mount Tai on the surface and as stable as Mount Tai on the inside.

"If you want to fish, I've got some fresh meat left here, you can get some for bait." Hagrid pointed to the large wooden barrel in the corner.

"This is you?" Albert looked at the raw meat in the bucket and raised his eyebrows. He had just smelled a **** smell, which turned out to be emanating from the bucket.

"Food for Thestrals. In winter, it is difficult for thestrals to find food. I occasionally go into the woods to feed them to ensure that the younger individuals in the group can survive the winter." Hagrid Reaching out and rubbing Fangya's head, "Is the rest of the meat for dinner I prepared for Fangya?"

"Are you sure this is edible?" Lee Jordan asked, staring at the mushrooms.

"Certainly." Hagrid lit the unburned firewood in the fireplace, put the copper pot on it to boil, and went outside to fetch Albert a bucket of well water.

Albert brought a sharp knife from the kitchen, scraped off the soil from the roots of the matsutake mushrooms, and after repeated cleaning, took out his wand and performed a complicated gesture. The water vapor immediately evaporated from the matsutake mushrooms.

"You're not like a first-year student now." Hagrid looked at Albert, who was casting a spell, and sighed softly, "Your use of spells is completely beyond my imagination. It's hard to imagine that you come from a Melon family?"

"Yeah!" George sighed softly, "I'll bet with the two silver civets in my pocket that this guy can do more magic than a sophomore."

Albert didn't care about the ridicule, and asked, "Hagrid, do you have olive oil here?"

"There are some left. If you want to use it, I will get it for you."

"Excuse me."

Albert uses a sharp knife to slice the mushrooms attentively.

"You must be too stingy!" Li Jordan squeezed a thin slice of matsutake mushroom with his fingertips and said with contempt, "How does this thin slice feel when you eat it?"

"It's thinly sliced, and it will be cooked later." Albert glared at Lee Jordan and brushed a thin layer of olive oil on the matsutake mushrooms. Then he took a piece of wood and turned it into a barbecue grill, and then used tongs to pick out a few pieces of charcoal that had not been completely burned out from the fireplace and put them in the brazier, put the grill up, and nodded with satisfaction: " It finally feels like a barbecue."

"I think you're making too much fuss." Fred looked at the busy Albert and rolled his eyes.

"Well, this tastes good." Hagrid put the sausages he made aside, picked up the matsutake mushrooms that were still roasting, and threw them into his mouth, nodding as he chewed, "It's good, but the portion is too small. "

Fred looked at each other, and they swept away the freshly roasted golden matsutake mushrooms at the fastest speed.

"I found the chew to be pretty good."

"However, would it taste better with a little salt."

"I think it should be dipped in sauce."

"You bastards, you ate all of my share." Albert couldn't help glaring at the three of Fred when he saw that his freshly baked pine mushrooms were robbed.

"George ate yours!" Fred and Lee Jordan raised their fingers to George.

"Ahem, there's still a lot on the plate anyway." George coughed dryly and picked up the sausage: "How about we grill the sausage?"

"Wait until I finish roasting the matsutake mushrooms." Albert stared at the three of them angrily and continued his work.

This barbecue didn't last long. The amount of matsutake mushrooms was too small. Everyone only got a few slices, but everyone had to admit that the taste of matsutake mushrooms was really good, and the aftertaste was unforgettable.

Afterwards, they grilled Hagrid's own sausages, and drank a few cups of tea before returning to the Gryffindor lounge.

As for the biscuits that Hagrid made by himself, several people politely declined.

When I returned to the Gryffindor lounge, the party celebrating the victory of Gryffindor was not over, but the cakes and pies that were prepared were basically eaten by everyone, leaving some toffees and a few pieces of vegetables. pie.

"Where did you go?" Angelina stared suspiciously at the four who had just entered through the entrance.

"Going into the woods with Hagrid," said George smugly.

"The keeper of the hunting grounds will take you into the woods." Angelina was very surprised.

"Albert succeeded in persuading him," Fred explained. "We also heard that Professor Kettleb, who protects magical biology, lives in the woods."

"Are you kidding me?" Shanna leaned over and joined a few people to discuss the topic~IndoMTL.com~ No, it's true, we just happened to meet a witch who was going to visit Professor Ketelber, as if for the sake of birds Snake thing. said Lee Jordan.

"What is a bird snake?" Shanna asked curiously.

Lee Jordan choked and turned to Albert, asking the friend for help.

"The bird snake is a winged two-legged animal from Asia that can expand and contract at will, so the bird snake can either be large enough to fill all the space or shrink according to the space available."

"I'm curious how you know so much about bird snakes?" George joked, "Don't you know Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them by heart?"

"Bird and snake eggs are also one of the ingredients in the preparation of Fuling," Albert said angrily, "so I checked it out."

"By the way, the shell of the bird and snake egg is made of pure silver, which is silver." Albert looked around, looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of several people, nodded in satisfaction and continued, "It is said that the famous writer Gilderoy Lockhart used bird snake egg to make a bird snake egg yolk shampoo. Market production, only sold in the black market, but also quickly disappeared."

"Why?" Shanna asked, puzzled.

"Because it's too expensive," Albert said rightfully.

"No wonder the elixirs are so expensive." Fred sighed.

"It's not that expensive, but I can't buy it at all." Albert said angrily: "Later, I specially checked the raw materials of the Flux and found out why basically no one makes that thing. , the raw material itself is very expensive. If the manufacturing process fails, it is an unbearable disaster for any pharmacist."
