Hogwarts Crawler.

Chapter 116 Preparations before Halloween Dinner

The third-year students' first trip to Hogsmeade ended with the creaking of the castle gate. On the way back, Eugene looked at Adam:

"Have you picked a location?"

"Ok?"

“The location of the store.”

Adam thought about it:

"I have chosen it...what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Which one did you pick? Let me see if there are any houses for sale next door."

"Hmm? That's a good idea!"

Bernard's eyes lit up:

"It just so happens that I plan to buy a property in the wizarding world in the future. Why not in Hogsmeade?"

"Tsk... I always feel that I should invest in developing a piece of land myself and then open a restaurant there."

The restaurant itself can also attract people to stay in the surrounding area, which is a development that Adam had never imagined.

"Ah? No! Exotic Beasts has been in Hogsmeade for so many years, it would be troublesome to move!"

Colon held onto Adam's arm and refused to let go.

"Okay, okay, I've already promised you. When the time comes, I'll invest in some land and open a branch store, a cinema, a theme park, or something like that."

"Park? Cinema?"

Bernard's expression was subtle for a moment:

"You want to open Di..."

"Ahem! It's hard to say. It's hard to say. I'm planning to build a dessert paradise. It has nothing to do with that company!"

Adam coughed. Who knows if that company has a legal department in the wizarding world?

"In my imagination, there should be fountains spraying soda, waterfalls formed by chocolate, carousels made of various fruit candies, bumper cars made of soft candies, and castles that look like cakes and taste like cakes. The trees on both sides of the road are wafer biscuits of various flavors, covered with donuts, chocolates and toffees... I think many people will be interested."

"Hiss... like me."

"not us."

Obviously, the paradise described by Adam was very attractive to everyone, but what followed was Adam's cold water:

"But right now, there's no sign of the park or anything like that. I'd better go to bed early. I'm busy tomorrow..."

Although he was said to be busy tomorrow, Adam still took three naps in a row and didn't get up until noon.

Adam finally woke up and turned into animagus form. He used the flexible body of a cat to stretch so hard that his human form would break bones. He shook his fur and then changed back to human form comfortably.

Picking up Xiaoke and Sibi and taking a deep breath, Adam turned over and got out of bed, full of energy again... uh, half a day!

"Um...what time is it now?"

Cologne's muffled voice came out from under the quilt.

"let me see……"

Bernard stretched his hand out from under the quilt, and goose bumps quickly appeared on his fair arm in the cold air. After touching the pocket watch on the bedside table, Bernard quickly grabbed the pocket watch and put it under the quilt.

"11:42... Dinner won't be until 5:30, it's still early, let's sleep a little longer..."

Adam, who was changing clothes by the fireplace, looked puzzled when he heard this, and turned to look at the quilts on the other four beds:

"You guys plan on sleeping in until dinner?"

Cologne's quilt moved, but he didn't get up in the end:

"Well...it doesn't matter. Anyway, we have three days off. It's still enough to do homework on the last day."

"There's nothing good to eat at noon anyway, so I might as well save some for dinner."

Bernard quickly reached out and put the pocket watch back on the bedside, then immediately retracted his hand back into the quilt.

Uther pulled the quilt to expose his head, feeling the cold air with his half-long black hair messed up by sleep, and then shrank back:

"Well... I don't want to get up in such a cold day. I'll do my homework after dinner."

"..."

Eugene's sleep quality is still so reassuring.

"Well, I wanted to take you to the kitchen to try a few dishes from the banquet and some of my new side dishes..."

"Wait for me two minutes!" x4

Adam: “???”

No. Eugene, when did you get up?

Anyway, when Adam finally arrived at the kitchen, there were still five people following him... Well, in addition to his four roommates, there was also Cedric who had been waiting for him at the kitchen door.

"I knew you would not get up until noon in this weather, and have lunch directly in the kitchen!"

Cedric looked as if it was exactly what I expected and how clever I was:

"Opportunity awaits those who are prepared!"

"Okay, then Cedric, who is prepared, can sit at the Hufflepuff table with Uther and the others and wait for the food to be served. I have to tell you first, keep your voices low while waiting for the food and eating, and don't make trouble."

Adam snapped his fingers and changed into a chef's uniform. He picked up the knife and turned it around in his hand a few times, then looked at the five people with an oppressive gaze.

It’s… it’s the breeder’s pressure!

Five badgers sat in a row beside the long table and nodded obediently.

The Hogwarts kitchen is directly below the Great Hall, and the four long tables correspond to the four long tables in the Great Hall. Professor Dumbledore's magic is to summon the delicacies on the long tables in the kitchen to the corresponding long tables in the Great Hall directly above.

Uther and the others chose the seats they were used to sitting in the auditorium, and then looked at Adam in admiration as he skillfully directed the group of house-elves, assigned tasks to each of them, and made the entire kitchen run like a precision-operated machine.

While the house-elves began to make preliminary preparations for the dinner, Adam took out the materials that he had prepared halfway last night and started processing them. Nearly half an hour later, he walked towards them with pots, pans, dishes and kettles floating behind him.

"Professor Scamander said that he prefers vegetarian food and cannot eat spicy food, so I specially prepared a few dishes for Professor Scamander for this dinner. Please help me see if they suit his taste."

A plate of white roses first landed on the table, each rose topped with a different colored sauce.

"Colorful yam puree. I made four flavors: blueberry jam, cherry jam, raspberry jam, and osmanthus honey. They can be considered appetizers or desserts. Would you like to try them and see which flavor you like better?"

Under Adam's training, everyone has become accustomed to the communal dining system and has even learned how to use chopsticks. Following Adam's explanation, they have already divided up the pure white and crystal "roses".

"Yeah! Delicious!"

“Really delicious!”

"Hmm~"

"Don't just sigh, which one tastes better?"

"..."

The five of them looked at each other, tried other flavors, and finally looked at Adam:

“They’re all delicious!”

Then he couldn't help but look behind Adam...

"…Forget it. You guys are used to hard times. I shouldn't have too much hope that you can give a professional evaluation."

Looking at the empty plates and the five people whose minds had already flown to the other dishes behind them, Adam covered his face with his hand and waved his other hand to control the other dishes in the air to fall onto the table:

"Stir-fried black fungus with winter bamboo shoots, candied sweet potatoes, dried eggplant, four-happiness roasted gluten, shepherd's purse and tofu soup, Dinghu vegetarian... and finally this boiled cabbage, etc. -"

"Hmmmm!" x5

Looking at the five people who were eating so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads and probably didn't even hear the names of the dishes, Adam couldn't help but feel itchy with his chopsticks clenched, and even wanted to give himself a buff of the power card, but in the end he sighed.

I was thinking that there were still a few pork elbows in the pot that had been stewed overnight and were already mushy, but now it seems that they have no appetite to eat them.

Chapter 117 Fat Bomb, Holy Soup

"Eat this first. It has to be hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Adam pushed one of the plates of something that looked like a dessert. The purple main body was served in a small orange with the flesh hollowed out. It looked cute and delicious.

"Be careful of the burn."

Adam kindly reminded.

Thanks to this reminder, the five prepared people were not burned, but were subsequently attracted by the soft and glutinous texture and sweet taste of this dessert.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

"It's delicious, eat more."

"what is this?"

After all five of them had finished eating, Adam smiled and replied:

"Fat bomb."

The five people picked up their chopsticks and were about to attack the other dishes: "...What?"

"Fat bomb, also known as taro paste. Putting aside special cases like potions, according to the research of Muggles, the factors in food that cause people to gain weight are mainly carbohydrates, fat and sugar."

Adam stretched out his hand and nodded:

"Carbohydrates - betel nut taro, fat - lard, sugar - white sugar, the only three ingredients of taro paste are the best of the three. And because betel nut taro has a very high starch content, as long as it is eaten while hot, it will not feel too greasy or too sweet even if a lot of lard and sugar are added."

As the faces of the people in front of him, especially Cedric, turned pale, Adam pointed to the remaining orange peels on the plate:

"I even put the taro paste in a fruit container. Since you generally like stronger sweet tastes, doesn't this give people the illusion of being very healthy? And it tastes only very lightly sweet?"

"What?! I...I just became a seeker, I need to stay in shape!"

Cedric covered his face with his hands, looking like he had been deceived and played by a scumbag. He looked at it a bit like a world-famous painting, and then laughed out loud:

"Haha--Adam you can't fool me, you wouldn't do that to us!"

"..."

Seeing the faint smile on Adam's face, Cedric felt a chill in his heart and could no longer maintain the smile on his face:

"You...wouldn't do this to us...right?"

"Ah, that's natural."

Adam widened his smile meaningfully and pushed another dish:

"Try this again."

After taking a look at the dish that looked equally healthy and light, the three people who had joined the Quidditch team suddenly fell into deep thought.

Uther and Bernard held out their chopsticks fearlessly.

If you want to eat, don’t be afraid of getting fat! If you’re afraid of getting fat, don’t eat!

In the end, the three members of the Quidditch team still felt that they could lose weight by practicing more, but if they missed the delicious food, they really missed it. So they picked up their chopsticks, turned their grief and anger into appetite, and ate two large bowls of food.

After everyone had finished eating, Adam introduced the dishes leisurely:

"This dish is called Dinghu Shangsu, and it is indeed a very healthy dish... Most of the ingredients are various kinds of fungi, and the vegetarian flavor is elegant and fresh."

Many of the ingredients in the original Dinghu Shangsu - mainly fungi - are simply not available in the UK, so Adam made some adjustments and added some magical plants, mainly from the Forbidden Forest.

So if we don’t use the name based on the inspiration from Dinghu Shangsu, it is also possible to call this dish Heihu Shangsu.

After teasing everyone's heart with two dishes, Adam put away his evil taste and let everyone play on their own, leaving only two dishes for the end.

“This dish is called eggplant fish.”

Adam pushed the dish that looked like eggplant, mushrooms and nuts and introduced it:
