Chapter 1238 Daughter-in-Law
"I made roasted swans and boiled peacocks, and I will make a dish of apples made with pork later. Draco is watching the fire for me." Narcissa was very happy to hear that Morgan le Fay was calling her by her nickname. .
"Pork apples?" Morgan le Fay asked questioningly.
"Chop the pork into pieces, add egg whites and form into meatballs. Boil them first and then bake them. Then use egg yolk or saffron to simulate the golden surface of oranges. You can also use flour and vanilla juice to shape a green shell, and then brush it with a layer of hazel leaf juice and add The egg yolk becomes a shiny 'apple'." Narcissa thought about the other's son's preferences and previous misunderstandings. Narcissa tried to explain further without leaving any trace, "Oh, Morgana... you must know that era of hemp. Melon is crazy about spices. Pepper, almond, cumin, saffron...juicy citrus, bright lemon, fragrant orange blossom...are all ingredients that British chefs seek each other out. In that country, spices are considered worthy of Muggles. In an era that was more expensive than gold, ancient British Muggles had a higher pursuit of food culture than modern Muggles." "In addition to being exquisite and delicious, Muggle cuisine at that time was also a way to show off wealth, and the most popular spice at that time was It’s saffron, firstly because it’s expensive, and secondly because it’s beautiful. You only need to twist a handful to dye a pot full of golden light. Speaking of which, my ancestors, like many wizards, made a lot of money by using apparation to transport these spices. A large sum of money... Speaking of which, I think those who question Allen's current practices are just some illiterates in the history of magic. Allen just restored the ancient practices to make us wizards profit..." Lucius pretended to be casual, He treated his temporary information as a recollection to prove his attitude towards Muggles, "You know, before the secrecy law came into effect, the Malfoy family had been very close to the personal trainer of the Muggle royal family. Sissy did it." These dishes are three of a set of ancient recipes compiled by the royal family about five hundred years ago...Morgan le Fay, if you are interested, I will ask Sissi to make a copy for you. Although it is not a big deal in itself, It’s a delicious thing, but because it’s so old, we probably still have it in our family. According to family records, it’s estimated that only the library of the Marquess of Bath’s Longleat Castle may still have a copy.”
"There are some dishes that you probably won't like too much, Morgan Le Fay, because in the end, the food of the banquet itself is no longer important...the royal banquet is just a tool for showing off and entertaining." Narcissa was a little afraid of raising her expectations too high. Instead, he was disappointed and added, "For example, the chef will roast the peacock and insert feathers one by one to restore it to its original appearance; cut into the pastry pie and a little bird with flapping wings will fly out; the huge peacock will be served There might be a dwarf acrobat in the pudding..."
"Oh? The recipe of the ancient Muggle royal family..." Morgan le Fay became interested, "Is it very thick? The recipe sounds quite complicated..."
"It's not too thick. This cookbook only has eighty thin pages. It's clearly divided into three parts. It gives a detailed description of the dining conditions of the Muggle nobles in England at that time - the first part is about all the grand banquets. Recipes, including the dishes served at the coronation dinner of Muggle King Henry V; the second part is a calendar of seasonal dishes, that is, what dishes are eaten in what season; the third part lists the specific cooking ingredients." Narcissa is very satisfied with the current meal. The situation was similar to what she and her husband had discussed and speculated. She quickly emphasized the concept of Muggles. "The book also includes comments from Muggle nobles about their favorite dishes, such as Henry I, the youngest son of the Muggle King William the Conqueror." Just say that he loved eels so much that he almost died every time... In fact, he did eat himself to death eating lampreys in the end..." She then sighed, "But unfortunately, because of this book The amount of ingredients and usage methods are not written in the cookbook, which makes it very difficult to cook these ancient dishes... so I didn't learn much. And I don't know why modern British Muggles seem to be in love with potatoes. And many dishes are too rough... too rough? The eating habits have changed to simple cooking techniques in a pastoral and leisurely style."
"I happen to know this very well. There was a severe famine in England in 1794-1795, and we had the Statute of Secrecy in place and the wizards couldn't help them with our food? So this shortage heightened the status of the potato. "At that time, one acre of potatoes could feed as many people as three acres of wheat. Under the cruel reality, potatoes established a foothold in Britain and lingered for hundreds of years..." John Bartha just finished writing the reply? He raised his hand At first, he looked at Narcissa with a smile, as if he understood her intentions clearly? Then he continued to speak after a while, "Then the industrial revolution made British cuisine further go into darkness. Fresh vegetables of that period had to be very rare. Transportation to distant places of origin, carriages are slow and inefficient, and the vegetables people eat are not fresh? Corruption can also easily cause food poisoning."
"Looking at the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, it's not a good thing for both parties..." Morgan le Fay, as a pure-blood, actually doesn't know much about the Muggle world. She sighed when she heard the unfamiliar word famine. ? "Otherwise, I guess I can feed everyone by asking Hagrid to help them grow pumpkins..."
"Of course, these are not enough to make people give up cooking? What really made British Muggles give up exquisite cuisine were the two Muggle world wars? As an island nation? And as non-magical people who cannot move quickly, a large part of them have to Relying on imported ingredients, five-quarters of the British wheat before the war had to be shipped from Canada. However, during the war, the food supply line was cut off, and there was even a shortage of potatoes for a period of time." John relied on Zhenbo Wen to remember Speaking of Muggle knowledge, "In human history, war is probably the most powerful weapon to change eating habits. Although the living standards of British Muggles have improved again, in theory they should pursue better food, but They can no longer go back... They have long forgotten the recipes passed down by mouth hundreds or even thousands of years ago, those colorful spices, those imaginative and impressive delicacies, all were lost in the war." "Fortunately, Narcissa still has recipes... We can restore the inheritance given to us by our predecessors, and now we have reconnected with the Muggles." Morgan Le Fay nodded and inadvertently pointed to the portrait at home, "I think Helga will also be interested. She can probably restore it well and can cook it for Merlin..."
"Uh..." Alan's mother showed off invisibly that he and Hufflepuff were best friends. UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.net Merlin was Alan's apprentice. The Malfoy couple were a little speechless for a while. The couple stared at this There are oil paintings hanging everywhere in Harris's new house on an island in the middle of the lake. They are arranged to facilitate the movement of the portrait of Helga, the founder of Hogwarts - even though it is just a portrait, it still makes people who are keen on glory and antiques move around. The Malfoys were very jealous, and their hearts were once again shocked by the realization of Harris's background.
After a long while, Narcissa said, "Ahem..." before clearing her throat to make her voice come out, "With Ms. Hufflepuff, she will definitely be able to recover well..."
But at this time, Morgan Le Fay put one hand on the other: "Sissi will remember to make an extra serving of pork and apples later. One of my...one of my daughters-in-law...uh...seemed to be interested after hearing our conversation, Tell me she wants to eat too..." Morgan Le Fay said a little unnaturally, "Thank you for your hard work...but please note that her share is the same as mine...the taboos are the same,"
"Someone likes to eat. For those of us who like cooking, it is not a hardship but a blessing. I will go to the kitchen to prepare... Did she hear that? Huh?" Narcissa agreed readily, then looked at it with a blank look. Looking around, she realized that she didn't understand how the other person's daughter-in-law heard their conversation.
