Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall

Time passed 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.

At the bow of the boat, Dobby, who had changed into a training suit, stood with his head held high.

Although only a week had passed, Dobby gave people a very different feeling.

"Big squid, can you go faster?"

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

"Puff!"

A stream of water spurted out, and the big squid dragging the boat forward underwater gave Dobby an unsatisfactory response.

"It seems there is no way."

Dobby narrowed his eyes, swung his hem, and flew out directly from the bow!

With his toes in cloth shoes stepping on the water, Dobby's light water floating leaped over half of the lake, all the way up, and directly broke through the glass of the auditorium and entered the auditorium.

"Just the right time!"

Dobby's appearance like a god descending from the sky caused a cry of surprise from the students in the auditorium.

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

"According to the rules of the game, each of the two parties will prepare 3 dishes, and the one that is most loved by teachers and students will win."

"That's it! Meow!"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, a sudden cat cry next to him almost scared the old man.

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

Tom tilted his head and looked at Dumbledore.

It's very simple, it deliberately came at a certain time to create a sense of urgency.

Dumbledore may have seen Tom's thoughts, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay to come, watch the game. I also want to see what kind of new menu you will bring to us."

As the game began.

The two house elves at the end of the Great Hall immediately took action.

Traditional British cuisine is simple.

This simplicity is not only reflected in the cooking method.

It is also reflected in the selection of ingredients.

After all, it is an island country, and due to geographical conditions, the selection of ingredients is limited.

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

In this way, the limitations of traditional British cuisine are formed.

The taste is mostly original.

Because of tradition and backstory, the wizarding world has not changed much in dishes for thousands of years.

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

Tom is a little reluctant, afraid of putting too much pressure on the house elves in Hogwarts.

However, the task is like this, Tom can only let them see the food culture of Greater China that has been passed down for 5,000 years.

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

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

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

Italian and French cuisine are also good, but they can't make so many cuisines like China.

In China, it can only be a small cuisine at best.

Don't like Hunan cuisine? Try Shandong cuisine?

Shandong cuisine is not to your taste? Try Cantonese cuisine?

With a vast territory and abundant resources, there is always a Chinese cuisine that suits you.

Even many foreigners can find the taste of their hometown in China.

This is also the strongest point of Chinese cuisine.

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

Nowadays, many world food rankings are very unscientific.

Just take a certain Chinese cuisine to summarize the entire Chinese cuisine, and then rank it in a position that is neither high nor low on the list.

Let Tom say.

Either directly rank Chinese cuisine first, or just let the United States and the West play behind closed doors, and don't claim to be a world-class ranking.

Although this has always been their usual means of pulling down.

At the beginning, Tom saw a list that ranked Chinese cuisine seventh in the world.

So I went to the Internet to check it out, and it turned out to be a small website that was randomly ranked for traffic.

Then it was reposted by a group of marketing accounts in China.

In this regard, Tom could only comment that he learned it from studying journalism.

"Dobby looks good. What dishes are you going to use for the competition? I heard from Newt that there are many delicious foods in China."

Dumbledore watched Dobby and Don New's actions without blinking, but his mouth was not idle, still chatting with Tom.

Of course, he didn't expect to get an answer, just chatting casually.

Tom just meowed twice casually, and his mind was no longer on this game.

People from all countries have their own favorite tastes.

Some Chinese food certainly can't conquer everyone.

After all, taste is still a bit subjective.

Therefore, the dishes that Tom asked Dobby to make were also selected to suit the tastes of foreigners.

After getting used to it, you can try some other things.

Don New made fried potato balls, roast chicken and roast beef respectively.

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

Tommy didn't order randomly, he came prepared.

It goes without saying that beef stewed with potatoes is something that Tom discovered after observation. The teachers and students of Hogwarts absolutely love it.

Beef and potatoes are both favorites of the British.

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

Like Japanese sushi, when foreigners think of Chinese food, they often think of dumplings, Peking duck, and fried rice.

They are more popular abroad, and foreigners are very receptive to them. It can be said that they like to eat them very much.

They are also a must-have in every Chinese restaurant.

During the 2008 Olympics, foreign athletes ate an average of more than 700 ducks a day, and they did not miss three meals a day. This shows that.

As the smell of delicious food gradually floated in the auditorium, the little wizards who had poor concentration suddenly became a little restless.

The smell of dumplings and Peking duck was not too strong.

But the moment the lid of the beef stewed with potatoes was opened, the aroma of the spices instantly occupied the entire auditorium.

"Bloody hell! It smells so good!"

Ron's nose moved, and he stared at the big pot in front of Dobby without blinking, and he stood up from his seat involuntarily.

Not only Ron, but many little wizards couldn't help but stand up, and even stood on tiptoe.

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

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

Because the teachers and students of the whole school had to taste it, the portion of each dish was not small.

Fortunately, it was just for everyone to taste it, and there were not so many teachers and students in Hogwarts. Dobby and his friends had magic assistance, so they could serve the dishes in a short time.

All the teachers and students sat in their seats, waiting for the rest of the house elves to divide the food and send small plates to them one by one.

Dobby and Donny each had three dishes.

The teachers and students could rate the dishes after tasting them.

Ron and his friends seemed very impatient.

When the dishes were served, they immediately picked up the spoons and started eating.

Almost everyone chose Dobby's dishes without any prior agreement.

Most of them were fresh ideas.

But after taking a bite, the delicious taste filled the mouth and people couldn't stop eating.

After this comparison, the food that wizards usually eat is a bit monotonous.

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

Although it was a bit regrettable, Tang New was not someone who couldn't afford to lose.

What's more, this game was hosted by Dumbledore.

The loyal house elf had no complaints.

"Here, Dobby thinks your cooking is also delicious."

While thinking, a dish was handed in front of him.

Tang New looked up and found that it was Dobby who brought the food he made.

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

Although he didn't like Dobby, the outlier among the house elves.

But facing Dobby's kindness, Tang New didn't refuse.

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

"It seems you won."

Dumbledore looked at the students who were eating happily below, and turned his head to look at Tom next to him.

Tom grinned happily and gave a thumbs up to old Dumbledore.

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

"I think it's just average."

Snape put down the empty plate next to him and wiped his mouth elegantly with a handkerchief.

Tom had no way to complain, and felt that the old bat was a little too pretentious.

I have to find some time to give him something interesting.

The final result was as expected.

Professor McGonagall collected the scores of teachers and students.

Dumbledore announced.

Dobby led by a large score in this game.

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

For this result, the students cheered and congratulated collectively.

Obviously, this game conquered their taste buds.

When he thought about being able to eat such delicious food in the future, he couldn't hide his joy.

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

Just kidding!

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

Of course, it is reasonable that there are nine of the eight major cuisines, right?

This ninth cuisine is naturally the famous canteen cuisine.

"Hahahaha!"

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

"What are you laughing at? Are you so happy to win this game?"

Dumbledore looked at Tom in surprise.

Tom still smiled and didn't say anything.

Although Dumbledore never used Legilimency on Tom again.

But the two sides have been together for such a long time, Dumbledore still has some understanding of Tom's character.

Obviously, this cat is obviously not thinking about anything good in his head.

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

As expected, the day after the school cafeteria contractor was replaced, Hogwarts was in trouble.

I was originally in the office and everything was fine.

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

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 with some embarrassment.

"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 unable to react 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.

"Let's go."

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. 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 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.
