No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Ou Mengmeng brought everyone into the kitchen. Her daughter had read a fan fiction that said it perfectly combined potions class and cooking. Then she read out the potion-making techniques in the book. It must be said that there are similarities, such as how to handle ingredients, such as skinning and bone removal, which are all related to cooking. However, is there such a practice in the food desert of Britain?

Over the years, when Fred and his friends stayed at their house for the holidays, Ou Mengmeng would summarize the various methods of dealing with poison materials in the potion book and put them into the recipes. The effect was very gratifying. Their potion scores were actually quite good. They themselves did not expect this. In practice, they all did it very smoothly.

Of course, she also taught this to Molly Weasley. During the holidays, her work was actually very hard. With so many children in the house, even with the help of magic, there was actually endless work to do. Otherwise, Ron would not have said in the book that his mother really wanted a house elf.

Ou Mengmeng suggested to Molly that teaching and housework should be combined. Don't worry about homework, the teachers will take care of it. If they don't do it, the teachers will punish them. They can do it or not. But sharing housework is a training for their magical abilities. Once they are proficient in the skills, they will learn other things quickly and find it easier to find a job.

Molly suddenly realized that she was also a graduate of Hogwarts. Since housework was also a systematic job, she taught them all the magic she used in housework and asked them to practice it well.

Their family still doesn't have much money now, but the children in the family are actually better than the average wizards of the same age in the use of magic. The greater the effect, the more enthusiastic Molly teaches. The children in the family used to complain, but now they are used to it. The main reason is that they also see the difference. They are really precise in controlling magic, which kills countless people in seconds. They can also think, so people like Fred and George are not good at talking, but they are very efficient at work.

Ou Mengmeng has also been training Harry and Draco these days. After they have wands, they have to learn to control their magic output. Brewing potions is an excellent training for this. They learn how to light the fire, control the heat, and observe the potion through the steam, and know when to add what ingredients. It is almost the same as making soup.

At present, Harry has a lot of experience in making soup, mainly because he often helps his aunt cook at home. It can be said that he can master it immediately, but they are still practicing how to use magic output to increase the potency of potions, so helping to cook is an excellent training. Obviously, the two of them have surpassed many beginners in terms of stability. And now, it is about skinning and knife skills.

"Why can you tell us apart?" George stretched his head and asked, "My mother can't tell us apart. Sometimes, I can't tell us apart even when I look in the mirror."

"I can tell them apart." Ou Mengmeng shook her head. It's not like she's just met this pair of twins. After working for so many years, no matter how similar the twins look and have similar personalities, they are still different. It's not just one or two people who want to use this to make mistakes and escape responsibility. It seems that all twins have this mentality. Ou Mengmeng has already mastered this way of distinguishing. Anyway, she has never made a mistake since she was a child. She threw a potato to Fred and an onion to George.

"You have good grades in Potions because I asked you to help in the kitchen and prepare the potions. You watched the peeling, pressing, controlling the heat, and simmering. So, my dears, especially Harry and Hermione, this is very important." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly to Harry and Hermione.

"I have a question. Do I really need to skin this animal?" When Hermione first saw the bullfrog, she closed her eyes and couldn't bear to think that it was edible. It was too scary and she felt like she didn't want to eat anymore.

"It's a toad. Don't worry, it's not a magical creature. In fact, its skin is delicious, but Grandpa thinks it affects the appearance, so you can peel it off." Ou Mengmeng handed each person a knife, very ruthlessly. This is a bullfrog, and she really wants to recommend it to these people to try. It originated in America, and she had been looking for it for a long time before she found it. The British don't eat this thing. But she found some and put them in their magic pond.

This thing is easy to keep, and it almost became an invasive species. As a result, it was eaten to the point that it had to be cultivated artificially in the flower-growing countries, but in the UK, she was very much looking forward to it becoming a disaster.

"Thank you!" Hermione came here because she heard it was related to teaching, but when her fingers touched the slippery sebum, she felt dizzy and had goose bumps all over her body.

"Honey, really, if you peel a few more, your potion grades will be very good. Besides, this is much easier than peeling a slug, and your first potion class is to make a scabies potion, and the first step is to peel a slug." Ou Mengmeng quickly cut various vegetables. She felt that she could make a Western meal for the children when she returned home. This made her feel very accomplished.

Today's menu is borscht, toasted bread slices with scallions, and the main course is a whole bullfrog baked with cheese. It's a very simple dinner. If it were just her and her grandfather, she could make some exquisite food. But the four boys are big eaters, and she doesn't have time to cook a lot of food to feed them. So at this moment, she felt that Molly Weasley really had a hard time.

"Oh!" Hermione wailed sadly, but her hands were even more firm and cruel. Moreover, she did more than the equally nerdy Delacroix, and Harry was the most honest among them. Although he also felt disgusted, he did it most seriously.

Ou Mengmeng thinks Hermione is really a genius in learning. As long as you tell her that this is learning, she will do her best. The iron triangle, without her, nothing can be accomplished.

Dinner was grilled bullfrog. She thoughtfully used magic to remove the bones. Of course, she thought that would be even scarier. It felt like a shrunken person. So she cut it into four pieces, roasted garlic with butter, and after it had a sufficient base flavor, she added a lot of cheese to grill it. Of course, when removing the bones, she did not forget to tell Hermione that magic can only show its superiority when cooking, especially deboning. It really maintains the complete shape and ensures that there is no bone at all.

She was embarrassed to say that the best thing was to eat the bullfrog while spitting out the bones and then jumping with spiciness. But forget it, the British don't seem to be able to eat spicy food.

She has been in the UK for many years and knows their tastes. Basically, the pure Chinese taste is not necessarily liked by the pure British. So now she uses the middle taste. Pick out the taste that everyone can accept, and then use the cooking method that combines Chinese and Western. (End of this chapter)
