Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 41 The Cooking Teaching of the Elves

Zhang Xiao looked at the elf who was crying loudly in front of him, and asked cautiously:

"you."

Before he could say a word, the leading elf was already lying on the ground and beating the ground:
"Dereliction of duty! Serious dereliction of duty! Uncle Yun always thought that he took good care of the gentlemen and ladies!"

The other elves reacted similarly. They seemed to have made some huge mistake and fell into extreme self-blame.

They always thought that the students loved the food they cooked very much, and in fact it was true. Malfoy regarded the Hogwarts opening banquet as a rich delicacy.

Zhang Xiao now somewhat understands why they are so exaggerated.These elves regard taking care of students as their only creed in life.

And providing food is the most important job among them. According to Rowling, "they treat human beings like kings."

Uncle Yun quickly ran up to Zhang Xiao, bowed deeply, and said with sobs:

"My lord, is there anything we can do to make up for the mistakes in our work? Perhaps you can tell us the recipe from your hometown."

menu?Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment. According to his original idea, he wanted to discuss with the elves, whether he could borrow their cafeteria and cook a meal by himself every day.

Because of the existence of magic, almost all the inconvenient places of Chinese food are not a problem.

For example, cutting, washing and preparing vegetables in the early stage, cooking fumes, and cleaning dishes in the later stage, food residues are not easy to deal with.

Apart from these problems, cooking is not a very troublesome thing, except for stewed and simmered dishes, usually "mother's dishes" are almost a matter of a few minutes.

But now it seems the elves have plans of their own.

"Yes, honorable sir!" The elves looked at Zhang Xiao with their tennis-ball-sized eyes, and said softly:

"With the recipes, we can make the dishes you like, and when it's time to eat, deliver the dishes to the dining table in the auditorium, so that you won't worry about the taste of the food!"

Hiss. Are you so considerate?Is this the house elf?Do their ideas revolve around how to better provide services?
But I have to say, this is a pretty good idea, ignoring the extra labor of the elves.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help laughing, what's the matter with hypocrisy, acting like a good boy after getting cheap?In the future, there will be opportunities to help the elves. It is difficult to liberate them, but it is not a big problem to improve their living environment.

He took out a large iron pot, pots and pans, and a pile of seasonings from his bag, and took out vegetables.

The elves gathered around one after another, and they were very interested in any skills that could improve their service capabilities.

"Now, I will make a simple dish first, the name of this dish is."

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to translate scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but in the end he could only translate it bluntly into "tomatoes and eggs"

"Honorable sir, is there anything we can do?" Uncle Yun asked.

"If possible, please wash and cut the tomatoes for me, and just stir the eggs."

The little elf snapped his fingers, and all the tomatoes floated up, becoming clean and new in an instant, and then cut into uniform small pieces as if cut by an invisible sharp blade.

The eggs were spinning crazily as if they had been sitting in a front-loading washing machine. After they were cracked open, what flowed out was an extremely evenly stirred mixture.

One thing to say, magic is really easy to use!
The elves were chattering about Zhang Xiao's movements without blinking, for fear of missing every detail.

Heat the oil in the pan and lay down the egg liquid first, stir-fry it a little, put it out for later use, and then start processing the tomatoes.

What Zhang Xiao likes to eat is the northern style tomato scrambled eggs, the soup is a little bit more, no sugar is added, and it tastes sour and salty.

Tomato scrambled eggs is really a very simple dish, and it is even difficult to board a formal banquet, but it is really delicious without affecting it.

Because the pot is relatively big, Zhang Xiao did a lot this time. After filling it in a big pot, he made a gesture of please to the little elf.

"Come and taste it, all of you."

The little elves seemed to have heard some outrageous words, they shook their heads frantically and backed away again and again.

They eat the food cooked by the young master. Isn't the young master serving them?
Outrageous!

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly. As a person who is very good at persuading others, whether it is physical persuasion or rational persuasion, he has his own way.

"It doesn't matter, I just let you try it yourself, otherwise how will you know if the taste is right?"

The elves were stunned, their big eyes were full of confusion, and the two thoughts of "I can't let the young master serve you" and "to better serve the young master" were fighting wildly in their little heads.

In the end, it was "Master Better Service" who had the upper hand. They walked up hesitantly, picked up their worn-out small bowls and filled them carefully.

Then I dipped a little bit with my fingers and slowly put it into my mouth.

As if they had eaten something unbelievable, the elf's pupils dilated instantly like a cat's. They stared at the things in the bowl and cried exaggeratedly again.

"It's so delicious, as expected, only such delicious food can be worthy of the honorable young master.

Uncle Yun has never eaten such delicious food! "

"Jumping too!"

"Eric, Baroque, haha ​​think so too!"

Zhang Xiao scratched her head, this is the second time, this is the second time "foreigners" have shown great interest in Chinese food, is it really so delicious?

He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully. It was indeed delicious, but it was just the taste of normal tomato scrambled eggs, isn't it so exaggerated?
In the following time, Zhang Xiao taught the elves some home-cooked dishes, such as fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken and other side dishes.

Every time it can cause the elves to exclaim, is the taste system of magical creatures different from that of muggles?
Zhang Xiao never thought that her culinary skills would one day be so enthusiastically sought after in a foreign country.

If the menu at Hogwarts is not set, the elves have no right to change it, and they even think that every distinguished lady and gentleman should eat such delicious food.

After teaching a few home-cooked dishes, Zhang Xiao left them a set of kitchen utensils, pots, pans, seasonings and other messy things.

I also gave them a bag of Wuchang rice sent from the Northeast, as well as a pot for steaming rice, and finally agreed to teach them new dishes when I was free.

Finally, Zhang Xiao left the kitchen during the farewell procession of the elves. He even began to wonder if he could get a chef from New Oriental to train the elves?

But anyway, tomorrow I finally don't have to eat that nasty food anymore.

Goodbye steamed potatoes, baked potatoes, fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, french fries, potato chips!
