The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 77: Chicken marrow bamboo shoots

Boom!

The small package was placed on the table, and there was a crisp sound. Hermione came over to take a look, and found that there were hundreds of chicken feet inside.

Looking at these **** chicken feet, Hermione couldn't help shivering, feeling a little nauseous.

"Hey, let's go over there and finish it first," Tom signaled Hermione to go and sit on the side first, and look at it after he finished processing. This time, the Room of Response turned out to be an open kitchen, half of the room is the kitchen, and the other half is the dining room. There is a clean worktop in the kitchen, next to the stove and various cooking tools, and there is only a small round table and two chairs in the dining room.

Hermione could clearly see Tom's operation while sitting on the small round table.

"I don't want to eat chicken feet!" Hermione gave Tom a look, and demonstrated to him. She really couldn't imagine why someone would collect chicken feet to eat—how disgusting! Even if Hermione has experience of dark cooking as a British, it is difficult to accept the behavior of using chicken feet as food.

Tom ignored her. He took out a handful of jade finger shoots, the slender, yellow and tender shoots seemed to be covered with dew. These ingredients were all obtained from the Hogwarts kitchen, and I don’t know how these house elves did it. Tom just mentioned it tentatively, and they rushed to bring him a complete set. The ingredients are as fresh as they have just been picked from the field.

In the UK, I am afraid that only Hogwarts can quickly collect these ingredients. In other places, hundreds of chicken feet alone have to go to the slaughterhouse or the Asian Super League in big cities.

"If possible, I hope you can help me clean these bamboo shoots, wash the shells, and then hollow out the hearts of the bamboo shoots."

Hermione stood up from her seat and took out her wand: "Clear water is like a spring!"

A gust of clear water emerged from the tip of her stick, cleaning the surface of the bamboo shoots, and then she used a "whirlwind sweep", and a small whirlwind gathered at the tip of the stick, easily hollowing out the heart of the bamboo shoots.

At this time Tom held his wand and said to the leg bones of the group of chicken feet: "Torn apart!"

Under the effect of his spell, the bone of the chicken leg was split into several petals, exposing the dark red chicken marrow inside. After breaking the bones, Tom needs to scrape the marrow from the top of the chicken bones into a small dish. It might have taken hours for anyone else, but Tom did it with just a wave of his wand.

The bone marrow stripped from hundreds of leg bones is only a small dish.

Tom mixed the chicken marrow with egg white and salt to make them more plastic, then took a plastic bag and put them all in one. So far, the two of them have completed the most complicated preparation work hand in hand in less than five minutes.

When the marrow was done, Tom took out of the bag a bowl of minced chicken that had been seasoned with egg whites, salt, and pepper. Now he only needs to pour the minced chicken into the bamboo shoots hollowed out by Hermione, and then poke with a small wooden stick to poke a small hole in the middle of the minced meat to fill in the chicken marrow, and you're done.

After the jade finger shoot is finished, it is still a bamboo shoot on the outside, but it is filled with chicken inside, which looks quite layered.

At this time, a bowl of clear yellow liquid with bursts of aroma suddenly appeared on Tom's operating table.

This is the pure chicken juice he asked the house elves to make for him. The method is not very complicated, but it is a bit time-consuming: a bowl is buckled on a large plate, surrounded by chopped chicken pieces and seasonings, and then steamed in a steamer. Due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside, the chicken juice in the chicken nuggets will be sucked into the bowl, and you can get a bowl of concentrated chicken juice without even a drop of water.

Even if magic was used to make this bowl of chicken juice, it took a lot of time to make it.

Tom poured the chicken juice on the bamboo shoots, and he was going to use the chicken juice to steam the bamboo shoots. He looked around and saw what looked like an oven. It doesn't have the buttons on the non-wizard ovens, though.

When Tom walked up to the "oven" with a plate, there was a sudden sound from inside the oven.

"I am a versatile cooking box. Do you want to steam or bake? I can also freeze your dishes. I can do anything, as long as you put forward a condition—"

Tom was taken aback and almost knocked over the plate. But since it spoke, it spared Tom the effort to study it.

"Steam at 95 degrees for 30 minutes." Tom regained his composure and gave the order. The stove turned on by itself, and there was a tray inside, and it started to heat up automatically after Tom put the dish of bamboo shoots in it.

"I feel that this stove is much easier to use than those ovens at home." Hermione moved closer, carefully looking at the multifunctional cooking stove in front of her. "I didn't see anything like a power supply. It seemed to be powered by magic."

This small stove has the functions of oven, steam oven, and refrigerator at the same time, and it is also intelligently operated. No wonder Hermione finds it practical.

"Then I'll find a chance to learn how to refine it." Tom thought of the Menis slab in his hand, and felt that making such an alchemy creation would not be a problem.

"Refrigerator! I want a refrigerator!" Hermione was suddenly aroused. Hogwarts is good for everything, but there is one flaw: Muggle technology products are invalid here, and various electronic devices cannot be used here. To use, even the watch must be a mechanical watch.

As a result, Hermione had never seen a refrigerator during her three years of student life, and could only enjoy ice-cold meals when she returned home during the holidays.

"It's better to be able to make ice cream and various desserts..." Hermione swallowed, she missed ice cream a little bit, "It also needs to be able to make heat, sometimes I still feel cold when I wake up in winter..."

Tom: ...

So Miss, do you want an alchemy creation that can not only heat and cool but also make desserts by yourself? In this way, let's discuss, I'll learn a freezing spell, and then you put me in your dormitory?

It can not only heat (body temperature), but also cool (freezing spell), and make desserts.

But Tom complained about it, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that it was really feasible? It's nothing more than moving heat from one place to another. As for making desserts, he can use modular thinking-he decided to go back and try.

Thirty minutes later, Tom took out the steamed bamboo shoots. Due to the low temperature used, this plate of jade finger shoots still retained its unique crispy taste.

Tom took the bamboo shoots out of the plate, cut them into thin slices with a few swishes, placed them on the plate, and finally poured chicken sauce on top, and the chicken marrow bamboo shoots was done.

After steaming, the chicken marrow bamboo shoots did not have the aroma of chicken juice. They lay quietly on the plate and looked like fruits: reddish core, white tender meat and light yellow skin. Same as fruit.

If you have chicken, you don't eat the bones, and if you have meat, you don't eat slices and drink soup. This dish is all about delicacy.

Hermione took a piece and chewed it in her mouth. The moment she took it in her mouth, she felt the soft yet crisp taste of the bamboo shoots. The minced meat was already dipped in chicken juice, and when her teeth touched it, she immediately exploded, letting the umami taste overwhelm her mouth. fill up. The innermost chicken marrow feels dense, just like eating foie gras.

"Delicious!" Hermione's eyes widened.

She couldn't help but picked up another slice and ate it...

Slice after slice, she wiped out less than half of the chicken marrow bamboo shoots on the plate. Only then did she notice that Tom hadn't eaten a mouthful.

Hermione blushed all of a sudden: This is too unladylike, eating so ugly, Tom won't laugh at himself, will he? She quietly looked at Tom from the corner of her eye, only to find that Tom didn't take the plate of snacks to heart at all, and he was looking at herself with a silly smile on his face.

Looking straight at her, Hermione felt a little embarrassed.

Hermione really wanted to hit him on the forehead and tell him not to look, but she was too embarrassed to do it. He could only ask in a shy tone: "Why, what's the matter? Is there something on my face?"

Tom pulled the stool closer to her, "Have you ever heard of a word called beautiful and delicious?"

After enjoying their snack, Tom and Hermione left the Room of Requirement. A meal with ordinary ingredients but full of ingenious snacks made the haze in the hearts of the two of them dissipate. Tom and Hermione returned to Ravenclaw Tower by their usual route. On this route, they would pass the Gryffindor common room, and in that corridor they would sometimes hear the Fat Lady singing at the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.

But today, there was no Fat Lady singing in this corridor, instead there were many little wizards whispering. The originally spacious corridor was packed with students from Gryffindor College.

Hermione looked at the students in this corridor, and said to herself curiously: "Why don't they go in? Is the entrance to the lounge blocked?"

Tom didn't answer, but he guessed roughly what was going on. He pushed through the crowd and came to the entrance of the lounge. At the point of entry, the fat lady who was staying at the entrance disappeared. Her portrait had been hacked crazily, fragments fell all over the floor, and a large piece of canvas disappeared.

The scene at the entrance of the lounge was spread out by the little wizard in the front row, and at the same time, the panic wearing a chill was spread. As more and more people knew about the situation, the scene gradually became out of control.

Hearing the humming sound in his ear getting louder and louder, accompanied by the echo in the open corridor, it gradually took the shape of a mountain roar and a tsunami, Tom took a deep breath, and tried his best to move towards the people who were crowded in the corridor. The little wizards shouted: "Quiet!"

This voice briefly calmed down all the students. They stopped whispering and looked towards the source of the sound. Although Tom's yell took effect, it only took effect for a moment, and the silence might be broken in the next second.

Tom knew he had to say something right away, and he had Hermione by his side.

Seeing that Tom seemed to want to say something, she cooperatively drew out her wand, pointed at Tom's voice and said: "The voice is loud!"

Tom's voice was loud enough to fill the entire floor at once.

"The door to the common room is blocked..."

The sound was like thunder, and several students who were closer to Tom couldn't help covering their ears. Although it was so loud that Tom himself was not very comfortable, and Hermione who stood nearest even had the illusion of bursting eardrums. But this loud voice successfully entered the ears of every little wizard present, making them stop their movements and listen quietly.

"...Professor Dumbledore will be here soon, and the problem will be resolved soon. You can go to the auditorium to rest first. It is spacious enough and there are enough seats."

Tom first moved out Dumbledore's banner to dispel the anxiety in the hearts of the little wizards, then told them that the problem was not big, comforted them, and finally put forward a suggestion that seemed very reliable. Step by step, he induced the students to follow his ideas.

It can be said to be a master of rhythm.

"What's wrong with the lounge door?" A voice broke the silence, and Percy called out from behind the crowd, "I'm the Head of the School Boys, let me—"

"Someone tried to break into the Gryffindor common room. It vandalized the portrait of the Fat Lady."

The little wizards present were breathless.

"I knew it! It's Sirius! He's coming!" A Gryffindor student Tom looked familiar but couldn't name shouted loudly, quickly took out a newspaper from his robe, and waved it , "It was reported in the newspaper before that someone saw Sirius in Duff Town."

Many people were taken aback when they heard the name Dufftown. This is a small town very close to Hogsmeade. The appearance of Sirius there means that he has come near Hogwarts.

Then he appeared here today, although it is a bit unbelievable, it is indeed possible in theory.

"It doesn't matter!" Tom shouted again, shocking everyone's ears hurt, "Sirius is just an ordinary wizard, we have Dumbledore, we have four deans, we have so many reliable professors - even the defeated Professor Newt Scamander from Grindelwald is also here, Sirius will never be a threat to everyone!"

Newt, who had just run to the fourth floor, also heard Tom's words. He smiled at Professor McGonagall who was walking in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed. You know, just now Tom Yodell listed a lot of people, and only he and Dumbledore mentioned their names specifically.

The names are ringing in the ears of little wizards~lightnovelpub.net~ Listening to these reassuring names, I suddenly realize that Sirius is nothing to be afraid of! No matter how powerful it is, can it still be stronger than Professor Dumbledore?

So they calmed down completely, and went to the auditorium quietly and orderly. Hermione pointed at their throats again with her wand, "Whisper."

"Thank you for the Amplifying Charm." Tom's voice returned to normal, and because he just shouted a few words at the top of his throat, his voice is now a little hoarse.

Hermione stretched out her index finger and pressed it against Tom's lips, "Shh - let your throat rest, I'll find you a cup of tea later."

At this time, the first few young wizards who went downstairs met Professor McGonagall.

Percy took a step forward, but he was about to say something when Professor McGonagall cut him off.

"Take the students to the auditorium," Professor McGonagall announced the order with a straight face. At the same time, she looked towards a certain location upstairs, where stood a little wizard named Tom.
