Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 807: Report
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 sliced fruit bowl on the table and watched the news on TV as the announcer was struggling to talk about mad cow disease.
Since the outbreak of mad cow disease in the UK in May, 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, 80% of which is the problem with the cattle's feed." Albert put a piece of pineapple in 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 Europeans like to eat pineapples or candied pineapples.
Of course, they like to cook pineapple as a dish.
Under Albert's strong suggestion, the Anderson family has changed the way they eat pineapple. Instead of cooking pineapple as a dish, they will cut the pineapple and soak it in salt water for more than half an hour, then take it out and taste it as a fruit , it will not have a sour taste.
"Feed?" Luke was surprised, didn't understand why Albert said that, did he know anything?
But...what can Albert know, he is mostly 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 indigenous people of an island have the custom of eating the internal organs of the dead, and they have very serious similar symptoms."
"Stop being so scary, okay?"
Nia, with wet hair just after taking a shower, came out of the bathroom wearing a pale pink nightdress, wiping her wet hair with a dry towel, and took a polo from the plate and put it in her mouth, asking : "Do you still have the beauty potion from last time?"
"Have you run out of those?" Albert was very surprised. He remembered that he had prepared a lot of those things for the family last time.
"They were all taken away by my mother, she asked me to ask for it from you." Nia sat next to Albert, rubbing her hair with a dry towel, with a little helplessness on her white and red face. The beauty potion is running out, and the girls are very concerned about their appearance.
"I still have some, you can use them first, and I'll help you recreate them next time when you have time." Albert felt a faint rose scent coming from his face, which was the shampoo on Nia's body Fragrance with shower gel.
Isobel's shampoo has a hint of cloves that she liked the last time she was in France, for which Albert bought her a dozen.
Nia's body suddenly leaned forward, leaning in front of Albert and looking up and down.
"What's wrong?"
Albert reached out and gently pushed Nia's little face away.
"I'm just curious that you actually use this thing." Nia said and reached out to rub Albert's cheek, as if to see if someone was disguised as Albert.
"Of course I also care a little about my image. Since I can become a handsome guy, who wants to be ugly."
Albert of course also uses beauty potions. He will apply a little when washing his face, and the effect is not bad. At least, you don't have to worry about pimples anymore. Seventeen and eighteen-year-old young men and women are prone to this problem. No one likes their face full of pimples.
In a way, Albert is more like a little white face than Diggory, but no one dares to call him that.
"Don't you need a hair dryer?" Albert changed the subject, "Blow it, it's easier for your hair to dry, and you're going to sleep later."
"Aren't you going to take a shower first?" Nia asked rhetorically.
"Hmm."
Albert went to the bathroom. He planned to simply rinse it off so that summer nights wouldn't be so stuffy. While soaking in the bathtub, Nia and Sansa were talking outside. They were discussing the news on the TV, as if they were saying that beef is also prohibited in the food at the school.
"It's a terrible time."
Albert sighed softly, remembering that mad cow disease is contagious to humans.
Although milk does not seem to be contagious, this incident directly caused him to lose his appetite for milk in the morning.
When Albert came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, mad cow disease was still being reported on TV, and an expert was chatting with the broadcaster.
Honestly, Albert instinctively hates the term expert.
In a previous life, there was a saying that "experts are dogs", and most of the things that can appear on TV screens are this kind of stuff.
"Mad cow disease can be transmitted to humans." Albert moved Tom aside and said to the three who were watching TV, "Just listen to the next expert talk show, 99% of these guys are Those who received the money, or were thrown out by the government to quell the incident.”
"Really?" Nia couldn't help shivering, "Then we used to..."
"Don't worry, it's generally not that easy to get infected, just don't touch it in the future." Albert reached out and touched Nia's head, comforting softly.
"The reason?" Luke frowned and asked, putting down the newspaper: "Why is there a large-scale outbreak of this symptom in the country?"
"It is said that the feed merchants mixed some crumbs containing cow viscera and body parts into the feed to provide protein for the beef cattle." Albert picked up a kitten from under his feet and played with its ears , while saying: "This is probably the source of the disaster."
"Those people really do anything for money." Luke looked angry, and today's ordinary people are very upset when they talk about this, and no one dares to eat beef anymore.
"It's useless to be angry here. The government obviously doesn't want ordinary people to know about this, so it asks experts to come forward to calm the turmoil." Shanna said to the two: "You guys should rest early too."
"Hmm."
Albert turned off the TV after the two elderly people returned to the master bedroom and said to Nia beside him: "Okay, you can 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 at night for a date."
"I lock the door at night," Albert said.
"Last time I looked for a cat, you weren't in the bedroom." Nia's eyes gleamed with victory, "Actually, you can just bring her to stay at home for a few days, Grandpa Luke and Grandma Sansa. Probably would be glad you brought your girlfriend back."
"Isobel plans to publish a book, and I occasionally go over to give her some advice." Albert coughed softly, "After all, I also have a copy of that book."
"I thought you would bite to death and refuse to admit it, thinking that your lovely sister was fooling you."
"You forgot, I can easily read other people's minds." Albert reached out and rubbed Nia, smiled and said, "If you have anything, just say it."
"I saw a dress in a magazine, I hope it will be my birthday present." Nia got a magazine from nowhere, and pointed to the beautiful dress on it and said to Albert.
"Your birthday is still a few months away," Albert reminded.
"It should be paid in advance." 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, you've spent it all? "
"I used it to buy some funds and stocks to test the water, and Uncle Charlie helped me get an account." Nia pouted and said, "So, I have no money to buy things now, so I can only ask you in advance. Advance birthday gift."
"You are not afraid of losing all your money." Albert was a little speechless, because Nia didn't lie, she was really researching economics, finance and how to make money in business recently, but most of the time she was making small losses.
"It always takes money to try and make mistakes, but not everyone can predict the future like you~IndoMTL.com~ Nia said confidently, "I need to gain 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, where the cost of trial and error is small, and it is relatively easy to make money, especially with start-up capital, it is easy to make money in the right direction, even if You won't know anything in the future, and 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 like what Albert said.
"Okay, birthday present." Albert glanced 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'll 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 in the newspaper. An article attracted attention, and even Isobel's voice was temporarily blocked by him.
Peter Pettigrew... dead?
