Chinese students at Hogwarts

When Zhang Xiao crossed the fields and arrived at the cabin, he found that the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn, and he quietly poked Hermione.

"What's wrong?"

The little witch's face suddenly turned red again. She moved to the other side and whispered:

"We suspect that Professor Snape was responsible for Harry's broom being out of control, but Hagrid disagrees."

"That's impossible, listen, little guys." Hagrid said seriously, "Snape can't do that. Dumbledore trusts him, and that's enough."

Harry and Ron exchanged glances. They had a little secret that they hadn't even had time to tell Hermione and Zhang Xiao. After all, one was in the cold war and the other didn't have many opportunities to meet.

But now Harry decided to speak out. .

"I discovered something about him," he said to Hagrid. "A few days ago, Ron and I were confused and were sent to the fourth floor by the spiral staircase, and we happened to see Snape coming out of that room!

I saw a big dog with three heads inside, and heard him cursing about the passage under the dog. I didn't hear the rest clearly, but I'm sure he wanted to steal what the big dog was guarding. "

Hermione exclaimed:

"You went to the fourth floor? Oh my god, is there a big dog with three heads there? This is too dangerous! Principal Dumbledore said you can't go near there!"

Ron said impatiently:

"Okay Hermione, we don't want to go either. We were sent there by the stairs. And if we hadn't gone there, how would we have discovered Snape's conspiracy?"

Hagrid put down the teapot heavily: "Have you seen the three-headed Lu Wei?" he asked.

"Lu Wei with three heads?"

"Yes—it's mine—bought it from a Greek guy I met last year—and I lent it to Dumbledore to keep—"

"What?" Harry asked eagerly, Ron and Hermione also pricked up their ears, and Zhang Xiao was distracted, staring at the vegetable patch outside the window.

Dumbledore's game to test newcomers, why did he get involved?

"Okay, don't ask anymore," Hagrid said rudely, "That's Secret No. 1, do you understand?"

"But Snape wanted to steal it."

"Nonsense" Hagrid said again, "Snape is also one of the Guardians and would never do such a thing.

Now, all of you, listen to me - you are meddling in things that have nothing to do with you. This is very dangerous. Forget the big dog, forget what it's guarding, this is between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel—"

"Aha!" said Harry, "So there's a man named Nicoléme involved, right?"

Hagrid was furious. He was angry with himself. He abruptly changed the subject and said to Zhang Xiao:

"Little guy, some vegetables in your vegetable patch seem to be ripe. What are those vegetables? They grow so fast!"

Zhang Xiao was overjoyed. When he looked out of the window, he saw that it was indeed baby cabbage. He didn’t know how Hagrid had grown it, but it was growing very well.

He hurriedly ran outside to pick some, rinsed them with clear water like a spring, ran back to the cabin and shouted to Hagrid:

"Hagrid, do you have any meat here? Pork is best."

Hagrid touched his head and said doubtfully:

"I killed a wild boar a few days ago and there is still some meat left. What happened?"

Wild boar? Although it wasn't delicious, Zhang Xiao, who was already so greedy for Chinese food, didn't care about picking and choosing. He took out a bunch of seasonings and pots and pans from the Qiankun bag and rolled up his sleeves.

The three little ones also gathered around curiously, and Zhang Xiao politely directed the three of them to start the fight. Hermione was responsible for heating the pot with a blazing flame, Ron was responsible for cutting the meat, and Harry fanned the fire.

Hagrid completely forgot about what happened before and watched the four people busy around with a smile.

First wash and blanch the wild boar meat, then heat a pan with oil, stir-fry the meat until it turns slightly yellow, throw in some cooking wine, onion, ginger and garlic, add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and add cinnamon and star anise.

Ron whispered to Harry:

"Is this an Eastern recipe? Why do I think it's similar to brewing a potion?"

Harry nodded in agreement. He often had to help cook when he was at Aunt Petunia's house, and he had never seen so many things put away.

Zhang Xiao pretended not to hear. He looked at the cabbage stew in the pot expectantly. Nothing could stop him from eating at this time.

I heard from friends who studied abroad in my previous life that if you can cook good food abroad, especially in countries where you are not used to the food, you will basically be the father of all the international students around you.

Zhang Xiao thought it was an exaggeration at the time, but now it turns out that it really is!

Time passed little by little. Under the influence of Zhang Xiao, Harry, Ron and Hermione couldn't help but look forward to it. They gathered around the pot and stared at the cabbage and meat churning in the pot. .

"Zhang" Harry swallowed, even if his glasses were white from the moisture, he was not willing to leave.

"Is it really as delicious as you say?"

Zhang Xiao also kept swallowing. The chopsticks in his hands were already thirsty, but if he wanted to eat the perfect roasted pork with cabbage, he had to wait until the meat was stewed and the taste of the soup was completely infiltrated.

"I don't know. Whether you like Chinese food or not depends on your taste. If you like it, you'll be happy. There are many more dishes to come!"

The waiting time always passed very slowly, as if a long, long time had passed. Zhang Xiao picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He closed his eyes and felt it for a long time, and finally nodded towards the three pairs of expectant eyes.

They immediately cheered, picked up their own small bowls, and handed them to Zhang Xiao.

After each person shared a bowl, Zhang Xiao added more than half of Hagrid's bowl, which was as big as a washbasin:

"Hagrid, try it too!"

Hagrid nodded with a smile, and the three little ones picked up the wooden forks and followed Zhang Xiao's example by inserting a piece of meat first, as if slowly feeling the salty flavor in their mouths.

Hagrid directly raised the bowl and poured a large mouthful into his mouth, chewing slowly.

Suddenly Hagrid stood up, hugged Zhang Xiao, his big eyes flashed, and said eagerly:

"Zhang! Teach me, this is so delicious! I never thought that besides roasting wild boar, there are other ways to make it so delicious!"

Ron and Harry also shouted:

"Zhang! You are right! The dining hall in Hogwarts is really terrible. They are actually feeding us such terrible food!"

"I swear, if Dali had eaten this kind of food, he would be twice as fat as he is now!"

Only Hermione, who was more ladylike, didn't scream, but her swallowing movements were obviously much faster.

Zhang Xiao struggled to break free from Hagrid's arms. He was almost suffocated to death by this enthusiastic big man.

"You all like it?"

Zhang Xiao looked at them suspiciously, and what he answered was four wildly dotted heads and shining eyes.

Hiss. It’s understandable that Hagrid likes to eat. After all, he is a half-giant. It’s not surprising that he likes food with heavy salt and strong flavor. But he remembered that Zhihu said that foreigners don’t like Chinese food and only like French and Japanese food.

Was he deceived by Mu Yang Quan? ? ?

In the end, he can only boil it down to the fact that some people like it and some people don't.

Everyone had a lively meal of cabbage stew, and Ron also unlocked a new way to eat it. He discovered that the rock cake will become glutinous and soft after absorbing the soup. Coupled with the delicious aroma of the soup, it is simply delicious. It’s a perfect match!

Hagrid almost finished all his rock biscuits! This big man ate almost 30 pieces of rock biscuits in one go, which were about the size of steamed buns.

After dinner, a few people burped and strolled around the campus. This was also Zhang Xiao's suggestion, to digest food after eating.

The conversation unconsciously turned to the things Snape had stolen and the names Hagrid mentioned.

Harry said that he must have seen this name somewhere, and Hermione said that she already had an idea and was going to borrow some books from the library.

"Actually, I just wanted to say it when we were at Hagrid. I know about Nicoléme!"

Zhang Xiao decided to speed up the plot, because it was really not something worth spending energy on. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing Dumbledore's plan to test the newcomers, he would have just led the three little ones through the level.

Facing three pairs of eyes full of questions and expectations, Zhang Xiao shrugged:

"Nicholas Flamel, Dumbledore's best friend, the only person to possess the Philosopher's Stone, lived for more than six hundred years."

"That's what's hidden down there."

"If I'm right, it should be the magic stone, a magical stone that can make people immortal."

I went to Madai for my honeymoon, and when I came back a week later, my eyes were green. I didn’t even bother to return home, and I went straight to the hotpot restaurant with all my luggage. It was no exaggeration to order a table full of meat.
