Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

After dinner at Hogwarts, Zhang Xu came to the office of the professor of Muggle Studies and began to prepare the exam papers for the first class of the next semester.

The family transferred to Edinburgh to return home early tomorrow morning. Although he wanted to stay with his family again, he was driven back to Hogwarts by his grandfather after dinner on the grounds of work.

The fire in the fireplace was not too busy, and there was still a puff of white smoke. Under the conduction of the self-made geothermal system, the heat generated by the fire is carried to the floor of the entire office, making the indoor temperature reach more than 20 degrees Celsius.

It was cold and windy outside the window, but there was no snow. After finishing the work, Professor Zhang walked to the open window next to the desk and slammed the entire window open.

The cold wind of a few degrees below zero poured into the office, diluting the smell of cumin in the air, squeezing the fire, and I don’t know if it was because of the case or carbon monoxide poisoning. Professor Zhang was a little dizzy. Give the whole body an excitement.

After blowing a cold wind for a while, Professor Zhang's head became clearer.

"Boom boom boom"

There was a knock on the door of the office.

With a wave of his hand, the door opened, and someone who Zhang Xu unexpectedly walked in.

As soon as the visitor entered the office, his nose moved lightly, and he smelled a smell that shouldn't have appeared in the professor's office.

She looked at the cumin-flavored fire not far away, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Your office is really..." She thought about her words, "It's as unique as you."

"Thanks for the compliment." Zhang Xu turned his back to the window, propped his hands, and sat on the window sill. "Why are you here?"

"I just came back from the principal, and I just heard her talk about Hogwarts all night, and the things that should be paid attention to as a professor at Hogwarts." The visitor answered as he walked to Zhang Xu's Next to him, after obtaining his consent, he sat on the chair next to the desk opposite him, "Unexpectedly, you have brought so many interesting changes to Hogwarts."

At this time, there was another "boom boom boom", and then Harry unceremoniously pushed open the door of the office, "Zhang, borrow your office to do our homework for us, the common room is too noisy..."

Harry saw the lone man and woman living in the same room in the office, and then he habitually said "Hey, he's not here again" and then he quit and closed the door skillfully.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Potter is quite interesting."

As soon as the other party had finished speaking, the office door was pushed open again with a sudden "bang", and Harry walked in with the map of the spot.

"What's the matter, your name is not on the map?" Harry asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

"She is Professor Allen Becca Rodney, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Hogwarts." Zhang Xu introduced to Harry, "Next school year, after Professor Scarlett resigns, the position of Professor of Mathematics will be assigned to her. Come to take over."

"Don't look at me selling coffee in Hogsmeade for a few years, but I have a'qualified teacher certificate' issued by the Secretary of State for Education." The person here is Mr. Rod Niro, "As for your map, there is no mine. The name is just a trick, Mr. Potter."

Harry wanted to say something, and then he was chased away by Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu didn't feel surprised that Rodney's name did not appear on the live spot map. As a group of people wandering on the tip of a knife, they naturally went farther than wizards in the curse of secret infiltration and other aspects.

What made Zhang Xu feel strange was that it was her who succeeded Scarlett. He had known that Scarlett had found a successor, and that Rodney had retired a few days ago, and that he had taken over the job that Nelson, who was seriously injured, had been looking for. So just now after he heard about Rodney's visit to Professor McGonagall, he knew who she was going to take.

"How did she find you?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.

"One day when she came to our store to chat with us, it happened to mention this. At that time, we were thinking about finding a job after retirement, so it hit it off." Rodney replied, "You don't need to sit at the window like this. He looks like he is about to run away? It looks like I'm forcing you for debts."

"After all, this is a school. It's better for us to keep some distance." Zhang Xu replied.

"Tsk..." Rodney glanced at him disdainfully, "Although you suit my taste, I might not refuse if you take the initiative to find me, but you haven't moved my heart enough to let me lay down my dignity and take the initiative. The point where you started. Of course, if you make all kinds of requests to me on the grounds of reducing my sister's huge debt, I can only agree with tears."

"Really all kinds of requests can be agreed?" Zhang Xu suddenly became energetic after listening.

"What do you want to do?" Rodney put his hands on his chest, pretending to be like a frightened bird.

"From now on, I will leave the homework correction for the Muggle Studies class to you." Zhang Xu said happily.

"I knew it would be like this." Rodney said after spreading his hands. "Will you be free now? How about taking me to keep the castle?"

Zhang Xu made the world on the windowsill, leaving only a gap after closing the window to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Without the cold wind coming in, the temperature in the office soon began to rise.

He came to the stove, grabbed a handful of cumin from the jar on the side, and threw it on top of the smoked sawdust by the stove.

"I noticed just now." Rodney came behind Zhang Xu, "I've seen people use incense of various flavors, but you are the first to use cumin to make incense... etc. , These are all cypress wood you burned?"

After covering the cumin jar, Zhang Xu said: "I didn't do this to improve air quality and cultivate sentiment."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a bunch of lamb legs tied together like a bunch of grapes and a few mutton flew out of the chimney.

He checked the smoking situation of lamb shanks and said to Rodney: "I heard about this method of smoking lamb a while ago, so I tried it, and it looks good now."

After he finished speaking, he let the shank skewers and mutton sticks fly back into the chimney of the fireplace.

After cleaning his hands with a spell, Zhang Xu said to Rodney: "Let's go, I will show you around the castle, lest you get lost and starve to death in the castle."

"These smoked lamb shanks should be good for noodles." Rodney thought, who walked out of the office behind Zhang Xu. "Put butter in the pan, then add smoked lamb shanks and fry them until fragrant, then add shredded cheese, Stir-fry with salt and pepper, rosemary or basil leaves, and finally pour the cooked noodles into the stir-fry. If necessary, beat an egg before cooking."

Zhang Xu nodded, and then shook his head. He said, "This way of eating is pretty good, but it's not magical enough."

"Then how are you going to eat it?" Rodney asked.

Zhang Xu looked at the time, and then said to her: "Come on, I will take you to the greenhouse first."

In Hogsmeade, there is a restaurant that mimics the layout of the Hogwarts kitchen. Rodney and the others have been there several times. But when I first came to this huge kitchen, I was shocked by the scale and the busy house elves inside.

There were not many people in the kitchen tonight, except for a few couples who hadn't met during the Christmas holidays, there was only the Harry trio sitting in front of the fireplace, working hard.

At this time Rodney hadn't recovered from the trip to the greenhouse. She asked Zhang Xu for the seventh time: "Did we violate the rules by doing that just now?"

Zhang Xu replied again: "Don't worry, you will be fine if you are not caught."

Walking to a table in front of the fireplace, Zhang Xu got a set of kitchenware from a shelf not far away and put it on the table. Then he took out the fresh mandela roots and leaves and other ingredients, and then said to Rodney: "You peel the mandela roots and clean the leaves."

After speaking, Rodney, who didn't know how to start with the mandela root, came to the smoker in the corner of the kitchen and took a piece of freshly smoked bacon back.

Under the guidance of Neville, who was originally planning to check the greenhouse conditions and saw signs of theft in the greenhouse, he went directly to the kitchen. Rodney finally mastered the knack for quickly peeling Mandela roots~www.readwn.com~ At this time Zhang Xu also returned with bacon, a small stove and other materials. He said to Rodney: "There is no smoked lamb, so let's replace it with bacon."

He used Snape's method to cut the bacon into moderately thick slices, and then cut Rodney's peeled mandela root and a sunny mushroom into shreds. Spread a piece of mandela leaf on the bacon slice, then put the evenly mixed mandela root and sunshine mushroom silk, and then roll it into a bacon roll.

Watching the butter melt in the pan, and the neatly arranged bacon rolls sizzling in the pan, Rodney said: "This time I finally know the basement kitchen in Hogsmeade. Why is Zhang's strange-looking menu so popular with young people."

Zhang Xu didn't pick up this one. He asked, "What do you say is the last spice?"

"Parsley, sage, rosemary or thyme."

He sang the last sentence in the tune of "Scarbro Fair".

The four spices of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme represent love, strength, loyalty and courage respectively.

Rodney heard Zhang Xu's hidden meaning. The first parsley that represents love is to make up the number. The other three spices are asking her if she is willing to dedicate your strength, loyalty and courage to Hogwarts.

She smiled, found these four spices on the kitchen shelf, and then sprinkled them on the fried mandela grass and sunshine mushroom bacon rolls.

The scent of spices wafted out of the pan under the stimulation of the hot oil, and the scent of bacon and spices immediately filled every space in the kitchen.

Not far away, the Harry trio, who was rushing for homework, recalled the days when they were in the dungeon smelling the smell and copying school rules.
