Chapter 1141: Stripped Naked
The kitchen of the small island manor in the middle of Lake Harris was designed with the participation of the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff hanging here. Although she was also driven away by Allen at this time, the paintings in the living room could not be left in the kitchen. box.
It looks somewhat similar to the kitchen in Hogwarts. It is a large room with high ceilings, larger than the dining room. There are many gleaming copper pots and basins stacked against the surrounding stone walls. The food storage cabinets that had been charmed with preservation spells in the Hogwarts kitchen were completely missing.
Instead, those locations were filled with beautiful, diamond-like dancing lights. The walls were covered with clocks of different sizes, including grandfather clocks and travel clocks. A rapid, never-ending ticking sound filled the room. Entering this corner, like the sound of thousands of tiny footsteps marching in order, the bright diamond-like jumping light comes from the bell-shaped crystal glass covers in front of these clocks, in which various ingredients are stored, and Constantly changing its growth shape - the cut mutton changes its meat quality in this time zone. Although this does not allow it to resurrect from a piece of meat into a sheep, it also allows it to continue to grow from lamb to old mutton and then reincarnate all things. Return to the circle.
In addition to the traditional large fireplace and oven at the other end, Hufflepuff, who has adopted modern cooking skills, also placed many modern kitchen utensils here - many of which were adapted from Muggle kitchen utensils that Umbrella is developing. Experimental products, they are not yet on the market, but several trial works have been given priority to the company's big bosses for experience.
But Allen, who has been in the kitchen for a while, has not used them yet. In fact, he has never cooked before and he discovered when cooking that it still takes a lot of practice to make delicious food - but fortunately, he is self-aware. Choosing something today was not complicated. He himself was still fighting on the chopping board with those colorful ball fish with two long legs and a spherical body.
Allen, who has never practiced knife skills, although his cutting skills are not good, at least he has good attainments in magic. He did not use any tools, but used his hands to caress the fish body from a distance, as if treating the fish, and then this The colorful ball fish went crazy and began to kick around with its long webbed feet. It also began to try to bite Allen with its mouth, because the fish suddenly found itself in pain and was taken off by the wizard in front of it. Bare.
Maggie, who was wearing a little blue dress, followed Allen. As Allen's little assistant, she was putting some old mushrooms into the clock with the kind of time turner created by Luna. The shaped crystal glass cover is adjusted to be more tender.
Kreacher, who was originally Black, was hiding behind the apron stand at the door, secretly watching Allen and Maggie's every move with jealous eyes. He moved his big ears that were a little itchy by the hanging straps of his apron, and whispered. He muttered: "Old Kreacher is much better than that little guy. The mistress used to leave all the housework to Kreacher, and Kreacher was the best... Oh, how can the master do it himself... This is a house elf What a shame! Look, what will others say if they find out..."
When Penello walked into the kitchen, she heard the muttering under this shelf. She walked over very lightly, stretched out her long arm, and reached down a small floral apron. Then she saw the little baby girl hidden underneath. Elf.
Penello snorted coldly, stretched out his long legs and kicked Kreacher to the side with just enough force without actually hurting the old elf - only then did Kreacher realize that his peeping behavior had been betrayed by the Muggle-born in front of him. The fierce witch found out, and knowing that the other party was not easy to mess with, he apologized and prepared to run away. However, the long nose and somewhat bloodshot eyes showed that Penelope had a bad relationship with Kreacher on weekdays. It's even less cute in his eyes.
Hearing the movement behind him and the rustling sound of the other party wearing an apron, Allen suspended the fish in his hand in the air so that he could not use it, then turned around and looked over: "Penello, are you hungry? Still there?" Have to wait."
"Alan, you've been busy for a long time," Penello looked at Alan's pale and slender hands longingly, and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. She imagined some of the delicacies that these hands could make, and then shook her head firmly. He shook his head and drove those delicious dishes away from his mind. He raised a smile to Allen and his voice changed slightly, "You tell me how to cook it, and I'll do it."
"Don't believe in my craftsmanship?" Allen smiled and turned around and walked over, "Then help me with some preparations. I'll do the cooking later...otherwise the other people who call me back will laugh at me. Are you done?" Then he gently pressed Penello's shoulders, turned her around, and began to tie her apron.
At this time, Maggie, who had been silent, waved to Allen from the glass cover. Allen looked at him with some confusion, and found that Maggie used her prosthetic leg with gloves to kill the last of several colorful ball fish. The fat one grabbed it, and then looked at Allen eagerly.
Allen paused for a few seconds before he understood what this loyal house elf meant. He smiled wryly and nodded to Maggie, then found that the other party had put the fish away - she planned to keep it for his pregnant mistress. .
Penello, who was wearing an apron by Allen, lost the Auror's vigilance. She almost pressed her back into Allen's arms. She was very happy with this state. She turned her head and looked at Allen and asked in a sharp voice: " So Alan, what should I do? Is there a recipe? What dish?"
"Help me freeze the mutton and cut some mutton slices. Do you still remember the mutton soup you made last semester? This time it is also Qiu Zhang's dish. The taste is different from last time... The recipe is in my mind... Huh? Don't look at me like that, you know Cedric and Qiu Zhang are getting married, right?!" Allen looked helplessly at the change in the female Auror's expression, and he put his hand between his chest and abdomen and her back He twitched so that he could continue to tie the apron strings under this kind of body-to-body squeezing, "I just went to Qiu Zhang's parents' house today to get some condiments, and I only met her parents..."
"I'm not... Allen..." Penello's pale face began to turn red again, "Morgan Le Fay is pregnant. Pregnant women should be more afraid of these fishy smelling things." - Penello and Lun both They didn't tell the other family members that the mutton they ate that day came from Aberforth's lost pet in the Hog's Head pub.
"Ah?" Allen was a little surprised to find that he hadn't thought about it so much. He asked with some uncertainty, "What about the fish? Can pregnant women eat colorful ball fish?"
"Morgan le Fay is fine, the colorful ball fish doesn't have any fishy smell..." Penello was a little confused because of the name, "How should I deal with the fish?"
"I've prepared three kinds of food today... I think there should be no problem if you eat dairy products normally, but if mom doesn't like mutton, she'll have to prepare some other meat..." Although Allen caught the other person's expression, But he still moved his hand from the other person's back with a natural expression, "Let me show you... Maggie, please help me catch two." Allen asked the house elf to send the colorful ball fish over, and then According to the law, all the fish scales on the colorful ball fish that started to kick around were removed, and then the fish's internal organs and other organs were transferred out of the fish's belly. After quickly causing its death, he began to move it carefully bit by bit with his hands. , "This process is a bit troublesome. I wanted to keep the fish intact when removing the bones, so I didn't cut them open, so I used this stupid method."
"Giggle..." Penello seemed to be amused by Allen's actions. She crossed her chest with one hand and touched her fair chin with the other hand and said with some satisfaction, "Look at me, senior sister, I have A more convenient spell... I'll teach you how to do it... That guy Lockhart used it to kill a lot of Death Eaters."
Penello didn't wait for Allen to respond. After she finished speaking, she started to take action. She directly and neatly tied the two long legs of the remaining colorful ball fish around her body. This one had been kicked around in Allen's hands before. The guy seemed unable to move as if a petrification spell had been cast on him. "The mermaid will regard the colorful ball fish as a scourge, and will tie its long legs into knots and let it drift along the water." Then Penello and Ellen took out the fish scales and internal organs in the same way as before, but then she waved her finger and pointed at the lost colorful ball fish, shook it, and shouted the spell, "Fish bone fish bone repair."
Under the influence of magic, this poor little guy collapsed in an instant, and it lost all its bones.
"Well done! Senior!" Allen agreed to Penello. He recalled the way the other party cast the spell, "I remember this spell... was it originally invented by Lockhart on purpose? This guy didn't expect to hide it. It’s much deeper than I thought…”
"No... He really failed to practice the healing spell at first... When I was teaching little Patricia, I heard her describe how powerful Lockhart was... I brought the ghost here for questioning..." Penello Raising an eyebrow, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "It turned out that he made mistakes in pronunciation and shaking of the wand when using this healing magic, but it was the same as chanting the levitation spell incorrectly to summon a bison on the chest... This change I cast an attack spell... Although it is not very powerful, it is very practical and can be used in cooking..."
"When the university really becomes formal in terms of education, I think the newly invented curse will not be so unexpected..." Allen paused, "Well, I'm sorry, this is not the time to talk about this. Penello, what are you going to do next? Just help me deal with the other colorful ball fish, I just happen to make a copper pot..."
"Okay, what happens next? Is there anything else to deal with?" Penello asked.
"I should do the cooking part by myself. It's rare for me to have such an idea. Although my skills may be a little inferior...but this is the first time I cook for you, so it makes more sense for me to do it myself..." Allen said in a tone of voice. He explained to Penello somewhat unconfidently, and then suddenly paused and warned again, "After processing the fish, you can help me take the phonograph from the living room to the dining room. If the taste is worse, I plan to use it with special effects and The way of background music to add... er, I mean extra points..."
