Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 740: Oriental Magic
Chapter 741 Oriental Magic
Beneath the dining table, a small cat's head sticks out from behind the legs of the table, and looks around cautiously, not knowing whether it is shy, or just agitated in an unfamiliar place.
The kitten seemed to have found something, and trotted out of the hiding place, all the way through the kitchen into the living room, and rushed towards Tom, who was resting on the sofa, as if only being around a familiar smell could give it a hint sense of security.
"Where did you just hide?"
The poor kitten failed to escape the girl's clutches and was picked up from the carpet before it ran to Tom's side.
After a pointless struggle, it was easily suppressed by a comb, and the last bit of struggle and resistance was easily bought by Xiao Yugan.
Tom opened his eyes and stared at Nia's hand to tease the kitten with dried fish, stood up from the sofa, stretched lazily, and wanted to move to Nia's side to ask for dried fish, but was caught Albert scooped up from the sofa, put it into the large hamster running wheel in the corner of the dining room, and started a daily weight loss exercise.
Nia's hand paused, her eyes fell on Isobel who was beside Albert, her lips moved slightly, her eyes moved down again, and she stretched out her hand to hold down the kitten who wanted to take the opportunity to slip away , continue to groom it.
Next to the two, Luke and Herb were talking about the colony.
In fact, the vast majority of British people are also keen to travel and vacation as long as their own economy allows. Luke and Sansa are no exception, but this trip takes a long time and a long distance.
Albert pulled Isobel to sit on the vacant seat on the side of the sofa, and whispered about the content of the final wizard exam in the second half of the year.
It's actually not difficult to get the contents of the ultimate wizarding exam in recent years. As long as you are willing to pay, many things can be easily solved.
Albert obtained several test papers for comparison, and found that the test items have not changed much. They have always been those things, and it is not difficult for Albert who surpasses others in many fields.
Of course, he's happy to take the time to discuss these things with Isobel, the girl still looks a little nervous and needs something else to distract her.
"Come and taste the mysterious magic of the East."
Daisy came out of the kitchen with a plate of hot food, while Sansa came over to greet everyone in the dining room.
"Well, this thing seems to be... fried dumplings?"
Albert was a little surprised when he saw the food on the plate. He blinked, and after a careful identification, he determined that the food on the plate was fried dumplings, or looked like fried dumplings.
Well, how do you say it?
The stuff on the plate is less like a dumpling, more like a small bun, which is the kind of dumplings that are wrapped with two layers of skin and then pressed with something directly.
"Yes, the pan-fried dumplings from the far east, I tried to make them myself last time, and they tasted really good." Daisy said with a big bowl of pan-fried dumplings for Isobel, and said with a smile, "I just made a bunch of them, and I can take them back later."
"Aren't you ready for dipping?"
Albert forked a piece of fried dumplings and tasted the taste. He could only say it was so-so. To his surprise, Daisy did not prepare the dipping sauce for the fried dumplings.
"Dipping?" Daisy said with a weird expression: "I tried it last time, but it didn't taste very good when dipped."
"I'm coming!"
Albert put down his fork and walked into the kitchen. After a while, he made a bowl of simple dumpling dipping sauce.
Several people looked at each other and found that Albert seemed to know how to eat dumplings very well.
Isobel also tried it with Albert, and found that this kind of food called pan-fried dumplings was surprisingly good with dipping sauce.
At Albert's suggestion, boiled and fried dumplings were also served on the table, and everyone was very satisfied with this whole dumpling feast. According to Herb, mysteriously eastern nations would eat this with their families at the end of the year.
Of course, this is actually just an excuse, just to try it out. By the way, let Luke and Sansa taste the food of another country first, let them go to the East with a holiday mood, and reduce their anxiety. .
Immigration and vacation are two different concepts, and they don't plan to stay there for too long.
The plan was successful, Luke and Sansa became curious about the legendary country rich in food, and they agreed to go to the eastern colony with everyone for a vacation two years later.
Luke and Sansa actually knew that they had no choice, especially after Albert gave Herb a large sum of pounds, they understood Albert's determination to let them go on vacation abroad to avoid disaster.
Since magic exists, being able to predict the future does not seem to be an unacceptable setting, and the situation is not as bad as expected. If Herb makes a lot of money, Luke seems to be able to retire early.
While enjoying dessert, the topic becomes what to prepare for a vacation to the East.
A few people finally accepted Albert's proposal, hired an international student who knew Chinese, and took the time to teach everyone how to read and write Chinese.
As long as you have enough time and communicate with others frequently, it is not too difficult to learn a language.
The trick is to use it often.
"Have you mastered it?" Although Nia was asking, her tone seemed to be certain that Albert had learned Chinese.
"Yes, I can already." Albert did not deny that he can speak Chinese.
In fact, the Andersons are used to their son's talent in language. No matter what language the other person speaks, he can always chat with each other proficiently, just like the last time he went to France and Italy, It was Albert who acted as a temporary translator.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room and chatted until nine o'clock before Albert got up to take Isobel to a nearby park.
The girl took out her pocket watch and checked the time~IndoMTL.com~ After Albert was far away, she used Apparition to go home.
After seventeen years of age, the traces will disappear on their own, and the wizard's spellcasting will no longer be restricted. Of course, the premise is not to use it in front of Muggles.
Isobel appeared at the door of her house, pushed open the door and walked in. Mrs. McDougall was sitting on the sofa, listening to the radio and flipping through Witch Weekly, humming an unknown tune.
"It's back."
Hearing the door open, Mrs. McDougall looked up and asked, "Did you have a good time today?"
"His relatives are very kind to me, and today most of them are discussing the matter of temporarily living abroad." Isobel put the box on the table and asked, "Do you want some? Mrs. Daisy asked me to bring it. Many come back, it is said to be oriental food."
Mrs. McDougall opened the box and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"About two years later."
"After you got married?"
"I don't know, Albert should make arrangements." Isobel went upstairs to let Katrina come down to eat dumplings. The McDoug family also felt very new to these delicacies from the East.
