Tom cat breaking through the dimensional wall

Chapter 485: The Essence of Canteen Dishes! Hands shaking!

Time passes slowly.

Just when everyone was nervous about whether Tom and Dobby could arrive, a small boat was sailing towards the castle on the lake outside Hogwarts.

On the bow of the boat, Dobby, who had changed into training clothes, stood with his head held high.

Although it had only been a week, Dobby already gave people a very different feeling.

"Big squid, can you hurry up?"

Dobby looked towards the auditorium above the lake shore and said without looking back.

"puff!"

A jet of water spurted out, and the giant squid tugging the boat forward under the water gave Dobby a dissatisfied response.

"It seems there is nothing we can do."

After all, we are in an island country, and due to geographical constraints, the selection of materials is limited.

With its vast land and abundant resources, there is always something suitable for you with Chinese delicacies that bring out the best in food.

"The time is just right!"

As a result, the limitations of traditional British cuisine have been formed.

Wearing cloth shoes, he stepped on the water with his toes. Dobby floated across half of the lake, all the way up, directly breaking through the glass of the auditorium and entering the auditorium.

Don’t like Hunan cuisine? Want to try Shandong cuisine?
Shandong cuisine not to your liking? Try Cantonese food again?

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, a sudden meow next to him almost startled Old Dumbledore.

Although this is their usual method of pulling and stepping.

"According to the rules of the competition, each of the participating parties will make 3 dishes, and the party that gets the most love from teachers and students wins."

Either just rank Chinese cuisine first, or simply let the United States and the West play behind closed doors and stop claiming to be world-class.

Tom tilted his head and looked at Dumbledore.

Not to mention the eight major cuisines, each ethnic minority also has its own traditional cuisine.

Because it not only has super high quality, but also has rich quantity.

Italian and French food are also good, but they can't produce as many cuisines as China.

Although Britain is an island country with vast sea areas, it does not have many fishing grounds, so the early British did not pay attention to eating seafood.

Chinese food is rich, can be called an art, and can definitely be called the best in the world.

However, with such a mission, Tang Mu could only show them the five thousand years of food culture inherited from Greater China.

Just taking a certain Chinese cuisine can summarize the entire Chinese cuisine, and then it will be ranked neither high nor low on the list.

The two house elves at the end of the great hall sprang into action.

Traditional British cuisine is simple.

Most of the flavors are original.

There are even many foreigners who can find a taste of their hometown in China that is similar to that of foreign countries.

Put it in China, it can only become a small cuisine at best.

As the game begins.

This simplicity is not only reflected in the cooking method.

Turning his head, he saw that Tom had sat upright next to him. Dumbledore couldn't help but ask, "When did you come here?"

Back then, Tang Mu saw a list that ranked Chinese cuisine seventh in the world.

Dobby narrowed his eyes, flicked his hem, and flew out from the bow of the ship!

Dumbledore glanced at Dobby, who caught up at the critical moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, since both parties are here, let's start today's game."

It's very simple, it's deliberately stuck in order to create a sense of urgency.

Let Tom speak.

As a gourmet, if you have not eaten all Chinese cuisine, you cannot objectively comment on Chinese cuisine.

To be honest, there is no suspense in this matchup.

Nowadays, many world food rankings are very unscientific.

"That's it! Meow!"

It is also reflected in the selection of materials.

Dumbledore, perhaps seeing what Tom was thinking, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Just come and watch the game. I also want to see what kind of new menu you will bring us."

This is also the strongest point of Chinese cuisine.

Tom couldn't bear it and was afraid of putting too much pressure on the house elves at Hogwarts.

In the wizarding world, due to tradition and renunciation, the cuisine has not changed much for thousands of years.

Duobu's appearance was like a divine weapon descending from the sky, causing the students in the auditorium to exclaim.

So I went to check the external network, and the result was a small pheasant website, which I randomly arranged for traffic.

Then it was reprinted everywhere by a group of domestic marketing accounts.

In this regard, Tom Mu could only comment that he studied journalism.

"Dobby seems to be in good condition. What dishes are you going to use in the competition? I heard Newt say that there are a lot of delicious food in China."

Dumbledore watched the movements of Dobby and Tangnuo without blinking, but his mouth was not idle, still chatting with Tom.

Of course, he didn't expect an answer, it was just a casual chat.

Tom Mu just meowed twice casually, his mind no longer focused on the game.

People from every country have their own tastes.

Of course, some Chinese food can’t conquer everyone.

After all, taste is still somewhat subjective.

Therefore, the dishes that Tom asked Dobby to prepare were also selected to be more in line with the tastes of foreigners.

Once you get used to it, you can try other things.

Tang Niu made fried potato balls, roast chicken and roast beef respectively.

Tom Mu let Dobby choose beef stew with potatoes, dumplings and Peking duck.

Tom Mu is not a random person, he comes prepared.

Needless to say, beef stew with potatoes was something that Tom discovered after observation. The teachers and students at Hogwarts absolutely loved it.

Beef and potatoes are British favorites.

As for dumplings and Peking duck, they are supported by big data.

Just like Japanese sushi, when foreigners think of Chinese food, they often think of dumplings, Peking duck, fried rice, etc.

They are relatively popular abroad, and foreigners accept them very well. It can be said that they like to eat them quite a lot.

It is also a must-have in every Chinese restaurant.

During the 08 Olympic Games, foreign athletes ate an average of more than ducks every day, and they did not skip three meals a day, which is evident from this.

As the smell of delicious food gradually drifted into the auditorium, the little wizards who were already weak in concentration suddenly became unable to sit still.

The smell of dumplings and roast duck is not too strong.

But the moment the lid of the potato stewed beef pot was opened, the aroma of the aniseed ingredients instantly took over the entire auditorium.

"bloody hell! It smells so good!"

Ron's nose moved, his eyes stared unblinkingly at the cauldron in front of Dobby, and he stood up from his seat involuntarily.

Not only Ron, but also many young wizards couldn't help but stand up and even stood on tiptoes.

Hermione looked at the two unsatisfactory boys beside her and shook her head helplessly.

When the time was up, both sides of the competition stopped, and each person's three dishes were placed on the table.

Because all the teachers and students in the school have to taste it, the portions of each dish are quite large.

Fortunately, it was just for everyone to have a taste, and the number of teachers and students in Hogwarts was not that large. Dobby and the others also had magical assistance, so they were able to serve the dishes in a short time.

All the teachers and students in the school sat in their own seats, waiting for the other house elves to divide the food and deliver small plates one after another in front of them.

Dobby and Downey each had three courses.

Teachers and students can rate the dishes after tasting them.

Ron and the others looked very impatient.

When the food was served, I couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and start eating.

Almost everyone unanimously chose Dobby's dish first.

Most of them are fresh ideas.

But once you take one bite, the delicious taste that fills your mouth makes you unable to stop.

After this comparison, the food wizards eat on weekdays is a bit monotonous.

In this situation, Tang Niu already knew the result of this game without waiting for the score.

Although it is a bit regretful, Tang Niu is not a person who cannot afford to lose.

What's more, this game was still under the auspices of Dumbledore.

House elves, who are loyal by nature, have no complaints. "Here, Dobby thinks your cooking is delicious too."

While he was thinking, a food plate was handed to him.

Tangnuo looked up and realized that it was Dobby who had brought the food cooked by him.

In Dobby's other hand, there is Tang New's entry.

Although I don’t really like Dobby, the strange house elf.

But in the face of Dobby's overtures, Tang Niu did not refuse.

Tom and Dumbledore watched this scene from the side, both nodding with satisfaction.

"Looks like you won."

Dumbledore looked at the happily eating students below, then turned to look at Tom next to him.

Tom Mu grinned happily and gave Lao Deng a thumbs up.

Dumbledore took a bite of the dumplings, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's a pity, I still prefer desserts."

"I think it's average."

Next to him, Snape put down the empty plate and wiped his mouth gracefully with a handkerchief.

Tang Mu couldn't complain, feeling that the old bat was a little too pretentious.

I'll have to give him something interesting some time later.

The final result was indeed as expected.

Professor McGonagall collected the scores from teachers and students.

Announced by Dumbledore.

Dobby took a huge lead in this game.

From now on, the Hogwarts cafeteria will be managed by Tom!

The students cheered collectively to celebrate this result.

Obviously, this competition conquered their taste buds.

When I think about being able to eat such delicious food in the future, I can't hide my joy.

Tom Mu was also very happy. At the moment, these little wizards obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

joke!

As we all know, there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Of course, it makes sense that there are nine of the eight major cuisines, right?

This ninth major cuisine is naturally the famous canteen cuisine.

"Hahahahaha!"

When he thought of this, Tang Mu couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Does winning this game make you so happy?"

Dumbledore looked at Tom Mu in surprise.

Tom Mu still smiled and said nothing.

Although Dumbledore never used Legilimency on Tom again.

But the two parties have been together for such a long time, and they still have some understanding of Tom Mu's character Dumbledore.

It was obvious that there was nothing good going on in this cat's mind.

Facts have proved that Dumbledore's vision of cats is quite accurate.

Sure enough, the day after the school cafeteria contractor was replaced, trouble broke out in Hogwarts.

I was still staying well in the office.

The heavy wooden door was pushed open with a bang again!

Upon hearing this voice, Dumbledore, who was writing a letter with his head down, said helplessly: "Severus, if you can, I still hope you can knock on the door before coming in next time."

"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore, it's Hagrid."

The tall Hagrid stooped in and spoke sheepishly.

"Hagrid? What can you do?"

Dumbledore heard Hagrid's voice, then raised his head and glanced in surprise.

Usually it was Snape who couldn't stand Tom's troubles and would often come to complain angrily.

Today it was suddenly replaced by Hagrid, and I was still a bit unresponsive for a while.

"It's Professor Snape. He had a conflict with Professor Tom in the cafeteria. Go and have a look."

Hagrid looked worried.

Dumbledore was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly.

Well, I should have expected it a long time ago. Sooner or later, the conflict between the two of them will come to pass.

"move."

Dumbledore stood up and walked to the canteen with Hagrid.

Yes.

It's the canteen.

After the playground, Tang Mu built a very Chinese-style school cafeteria overnight.

The auditorium after that is the real auditorium.

Normally, teachers and students mainly come to the cafeteria to eat.

Because Hogwarts has free board and lodging.

Therefore, in accordance with the Hogwarts system, Tom naturally arranged free catering supplies for teachers and students three meals a day.

But in addition, Tom Mu's Oriental Canteen also serves food 24 hours a day.

Tom Mu specially put out a long menu in the cafeteria for teachers and students to choose from.

There are many delicious snacks inside.

If students want to eat something hot, they can order directly from the cafeteria.

Of course, there is an additional charge for ordering meals other than dinner.

Tom Mu is still planning to launch a takeout service so that teachers and students can order takeout.

Of course, Dumbledore, as the principal, knew all this.

Therefore, Dumbledore was still a little surprised as to how Snape and Tom came to fight.

So on the way to the cafeteria, Dumbledore asked Hagrid his doubts.

Hagrid opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer. This was the first time he encountered this situation, so he could only say: "I don't know what to say. You can go over and take a look."

During the brief conversation, the two of them had already arrived at the canteen.

It was dinner time at this time, and the cafeteria was very lively.

Some little wizards wear wizard robes, and some little wizards wear sportswear.

The sportswear seemed a bit strange at first, but now Dumbledore is used to it.

The canteen is very spacious, divided into two floors, filled with tables and chairs.

A little further inside, there is a large window where teachers and students can choose their favorite dishes.

At this time, many students were holding dinner plates in their hands and gathered around to watch the excitement.

Dumbledore knew that Snape and the others were definitely there without Hagrid opening his mouth, so he walked over.

Before he even got close, Dumbledore could already hear Snape's dissatisfied voice, like a poisonous snake spitting a message.

"Are you targeting me? Why are your hands shaking so much when you serve me food?"

Snape looked really angry.

Normally he wouldn't talk so much.

I don't know what else happened to Tom and Snape before Dumbledore and the others came.

"Who is targeting you! This is the soul of the food in the cafeteria! Do you understand? Just like you stir the crucible when brewing potions. Professor Snape, please behave professionally."

Tom stood in the food window, holding a spoon in his hand, and the Sorting Hat on his head was arguing with Snape.

The cat looked calm and even continued to teach the surrounding house elves the finer points of cooking.

Eh!
Have you seen this braised pork?

Start by taking a heaping spoonful.

Then shake it off... shake it off... shake it off again...

Finally, if there are one or two pieces left, put them on the dinner plate.

The house elves around him nodded and took notes, indicating that they had remembered it.

Seeing this, Snape looked at a large piece of chicken-like ginger on his plate, and his face turned red with anger.
