Chapter 53: Girls Use Brand New Products for Their Own Use!
Luofu caught a dozen carnivorous slugs and planned to bring them back to the box to breed in large numbers and use them as food for the basilisk and the fire dragon.
With the slug problem solved, Hagrid invited them to the cabin to chat, and served steaming rock pie and a new pastry... shortbread.
It was said to be a sweet biscuit. Rolf didn't see any sugar, but found that the biscuit was covered with a thick layer of salt.
"Hagrid, did you mix up the sugar and salt?" Rolf asked cautiously.
"No, the sugar is all under the salt!" Hagrid said a little embarrassedly: "There was too much sugar and it was a bit harsh on the throat. I added some salt to make the taste more comfortable and not too greasy.
Come on, don't be polite, everyone, try it, don't be polite to me. "
"..."
Rolf, Shirley and Hermione exchanged glances, and wisely took up the perilla tea without touching the shortbread.
Hagrid's cool move silenced the Sweet and Salty Party.
Hagrid really has a good tooth. He picked up the rock cake, cracked it into pieces...and ate it very deliciously.
"I heard Lockhart is in hospital again?"
"Yes, he was injured by the elf." Luo Fei took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "But he was discharged from the hospital again today."
After being hospitalized three times a week, Rove was still worried about whether Lockhart would resign in anger for the past two days, but he didn't expect that he didn't leave.
I have to say...Lockhart is quite brave.
"Sooner or later he will have to be hospitalized!" Hagrid said with some gloating:
"The last time he came to my place, he wanted to teach me how to prevent water monsters from getting into the well, and he also boasted about how he could get rid of female ghosts... If one sentence in it was true, I would eat the teapot."
Rolf glanced at Hermione meaningfully, and the girl glared back at him unreasonably, but did not open her mouth to refute, but continued to drink tea.
Hagrid rarely criticized Hogwarts professors, and even he said this...
Hermione felt a little uncomfortable. Why did she always lose in bets with Rove? !
However, although she always lost, it also aroused Hermione's strong desire to win. She firmly believed that she would one day be able to defeat Rolf.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Hagrid stood up and opened the wooden door. Harry and Ron appeared outside the door.
Harry helped Ron in. Ron's mouth and nose were constantly crawling with greasy slugs, which looked very disgusting.
Hagrid quickly took out a large bucket and put it in front of Ron, asking him to vomit in the bucket. He asked with concern: "What happened?"
Harry sat on the chair and said quickly: "Our academy just held a new player selection on the Quidditch pitch..."
"Is Gryffindor starting to select new players now?" Rove was a little surprised.
Quidditch team selection is usually held in the second week after the start of school, but I didn't expect that Gryffindor would be selected a week earlier this year.
"George and Fred said Captain Wood wanted to find a new Seeker as soon as possible and put it into training," Harry explained.
Because of Rove's Butterfly Effect, Harry didn't become Gryffindor's Seeker in the first year, so they lost miserably to Slytherin last semester.
In order to win the Quidditch Cup, Wood chose to select early so that he could get used to the new team as soon as possible.
Well, Gryffindor has really become the first team to prepare for the 92-93 season.
After receiving the news, Snape immediately signed a special permission slip to let the Slytherin team go to the Quidditch field for training... Being able to disgust Gryffindor was his greatest happiness.
"Ron and I were participating in the selection, and Draco Malfoy came with a copy of the Daily Prophet." Harry continued:
"There are interviews with Malfoy's father, attacking Mr. Weasley, and asking him to resign..."
"Then you got into a conflict?" Hagrid said harshly.
Harry nodded and said, "Ron's wand was broken, and the spell he cast bounced back on himself."
"Luckily you didn't hit Malfoy, Ron! You were too impulsive!" Hagrid's rough face showed concern: "If you really hit that kid, his father will definitely come to trouble you, Lucius Malfoy Fu Ke is the school director..."
Ron opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Instead, he burped loudly, and several slugs fell from his mouth onto his lap.
"Is there any way to treat Ron?" Harry asked quickly.
"I think we can only wait until he vomits up." Hagrid turned around and asked, "Rolph, is there anything you can do?"
"I'll try." Rolf pulled out his wand, pointed at Ron and said, "Stop the curse immediately!"
Ron no longer had slugs in his stomach. He lay weakly on the chair and said with a pale face: "Thank you, Rolf!"
"Ron, you'd better buy a new wand from Ollivander as soon as possible." Rolf reminded. "A broken wand cannot be used. It can easily backfire and hit yourself."
Ron had a wry smile on his face. Not only had his father been suspended from the Ministry of Magic because of the Flying Car incident, but Ginny also told him that he might be fined.
The family had no money to buy him a new wand.
"It's okay. I was in the school's second-hand market and took a fancy to a second-hand wand. The seller said it was for girls' own use. It was 99 new... and the price was very cheap." Ron said weakly.
"..."
After hearing this, Luo Fu inexplicably remembered that he had bought a graphics card from a certain salted fish in his previous life, and it seemed that he was using the same rhetoric.
He immediately persuaded Ron... The water in the second-hand market was very deep, and it was not something Ron could grasp.
But unfortunately, Ron has been brainwashed by the girls themselves using this gimmick.
Soon it was noon, and Hagrid left them to eat in the cabin.
This time it was not rock cakes, but beef stew. In Hagrid's words, Yaya was drooling at the smell.
Rolf thought, what else could be wrong with beef? Just some potatoes and beef stew, which are the top ingredients for rice, are not difficult, so he agreed.
But he obviously underestimated the value of the British "food desert" and underestimated Hagrid's creativity to make dark dishes like "rock cakes".
After standing in the kitchen for a while, Rolf saw Hagrid add half a bottle of tomato juice and a large piece of cheese to the pot.
Maybe it's a special method... Rolf comforted himself, and then watched him add the crushed rock cake.
This is far from enough. Hermione also found dried carnivorous slugs on the shelf at the door. After asking, she found out that this was only a small part of the ingredients in the stew.
It turns out that the essence of beef stew is not the beef, but the stew...
Hagrid had already served the table, and the three of them hurriedly found an excuse to leave. Before leaving, Ralph asked Harry and Ron to leave together, but unfortunately they didn't understand and had already picked up their forks.
When he arrived at the lawn, Rolf looked back at the cabin with smoke rising from the chimney, and said with lingering fear:
"Can humans eat slugs? I can never trust any food made by Hagrid again!"
"It depends on the cooking method. I've eaten French snails before." Hermione ran out of breath, holding her waist with one hand and said:
"The taste is softer and smoother than oysters, and the elasticity is also good. It's soft, tender and juicy."
"Then why are you running so fast?" Rolf pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "If you go back now, you can still taste the English-style slugs."
"Forget it then." The girl shook her head vigorously like a rattle: "I would rather starve to death!"
"..."
In the cabin,
Harry and Ron picked up their forks and picked up a large piece of black stuff respectively.
"Eat quickly, you two lucky guys, you can't eat such good things in the hall!" Hagrid urged.
Harry and Ron stuffed the food into their mouths.
"Ugh!"
