"I knew you would come. We are going to make golden crispy dogs. Ron has already obtained the method from Betty. The steps are very simple."
"Thank you~"
"little things"
"Tell me the method"
"First pickle and remove the fishy smell. This is also the most important step. Stuff the onions, ginger, garlic and some spices into the dog's belly, and then seal it. Then make a few openings on the body to let in the flavor, and finally cover the whole body with salt and cooking wine and seal it.
Let it sit for forty minutes.”
"Well, what else?"
"Now it's time to bake. When the time comes, you can see how we do it and just follow along."
"ok"
The two twins had a good understanding of each other, and the information transmission work went very smoothly.

"What is this? Charcoal grilled noodles!"
The recipe Snape gave to Slytherin was very simple, but it had a big impact on the students of the Snake House.
"First... cut off the dog's tongue completely." Malfoy previewed the recipe. When he saw the first step, he was immediately confused.
"Goyle, Crabbe" felt embarrassed, and suddenly thought of his two favorite generals: "Come on! You must cut it completely!"
"Well..." The two of them grimaced, expressions of extreme reluctance.
"What are you doing standing around! Go quickly!" Pansy, who had a bad temper, urged impatiently
There is no other way, the two brothers can only catch the duck to the shelves.

"Ivy, do you need our help?" As a Hufflepuff student, it would always feel a bit embarrassing if a few of them were doing nothing and just watching.
"Help me boil a pot of water and prepare some spices. Betty, help me pat some garlic cloves and cut some ginger and onions."
As a chef, our protagonist can't mess around like other colleges. He came up with a great idea to cook dog meat.
First chop off the dog's head. Because the ingredients have been processed by Snape in advance. The fur, internal organs and other things have already been removed, which saves him a lot of trouble.
Hold a kitchen knife and split along the lower abdomen of the body. Lay the whole dog flat on the chopping board, then clean it with water. Then, use a wheat flower knife to cut the body evenly along the muscle texture. Make sure the size of the slices is roughly the same as the thickness.
Consistent.
After processing the ingredients, marinate them with refined salt, cooking wine, pepper, and sesame oil. Because he changed the knife to cut more densely, he didn't need to marinate it for as long as Harry and the others. More than ten minutes is enough.
"The water is boiling. Throw the dog's head in and cook." After instructing everyone, he began to heat the oil in the pot.
Because of the magic kitchen utensils used, the oil heated up quickly.
"Give me the spices and cut side dishes. Betty, take out the meat and coat it with cornmeal." Sauteing is a very important step.
Take out the exploded spices and "Have you wrapped it? Give me the meat."
After taking the dog meat, Ivey shook it by his tail and slowly sank into the oil pan.
"Zizzi——" The mist filled the air in an instant. As the tangy smell of meat came to the nostrils, friends who had previously disliked dog meat gathered around.
“Wocao—a fragrant batch!”
"Why don't you leave two yuan for me?"
"Don't make any noise——! Betty, fry me some syrup over low heat. Coat the cooked dog head with honey and oil and bake it in the oven." Ivy directed as he poured oil on the meat.
After the meat was fried, Ivey took it out of the frying pan. The golden dog meat spread out like ears of wheat. It was a bit like the fried ham sausages we fry on the roadside, with both sides tilted up.
"Okay, the last step. Give me the syrup."
Take the pot from Betty and spread the syrup evenly on the surface of the dog's flesh. Then take out the roasted dog head and start placing it on the plate. After placing the plate, cover the whole thing with a large cover.
When everything was ready, he took Betty and whispered a few words in her ear.
Betty rolled her eyes at her and took out her wand...
"Okay!" He shouted excitedly after finishing preparations.
At this time, it was just past half of the prescribed exam time. The dishes from other colleges were still being marinated.
Hearing Ivey's voice, he came over curiously.
"Oh~" Snape became interested. He also had some knowledge of Ivy's craftsmanship.
Arriving at the Hufflepuff long table, the miscellaneous ingredients on the table had been cleared away, leaving only a large cover covering the chopping board.
"Open it~ Let me see what surprises the famous Shafiq can give me." Snape was quite polite to Ivy.
"As you wish, Professor" Ivy replied politely and nodded towards Betty.
Betty waved her staff, and the cover was lifted. In an instant, golden light shot up into the sky, much like the epic equipment exploded in the game. Even in the daytime, the beam of light still lingered for a long time.
"God——"
"This is--!"
“Dishes that shine!”
The exaggerated effect shocked everyone.
"How is it possible!" Snape was also shocked, "Is this the legendary special cuisine!"
It seems that he did consult a lot of information in order to make good dog meat.
"It's magic, I added magic." Faced with everyone's surprise, Ivey said deeply
The light gradually dimmed, and all the little wizards stared nervously at the long table, looking forward to it.
"Everyone, please allow me to introduce this dish to you - shredded crispy pork. The whole family is prosperous (woof!)"
As the steam drifted away, the "sizzling" sound erupted from the fusion of hot oil and water vapor. The aroma of meat filled the whole place. All the students present raised their necks and breathed greedily.
"Gu——"...
The sound of swallowing also comes and goes.
"This is my improved version based on an ancient recipe." Everyone's performance greatly satisfied his vanity. "I think everyone knows very little about dog meat, and most people are still very resistant to it. However, dog meat is popular among Muggles.
But it is sought after by certain groups in the world. In the far east, they even have festivals dedicated to eating dog meat."
"And dog meat is a great tonic, especially for us men. Why? - Because it nourishes the kidneys!"
"Of course, you may not understand it now, and you won't need it after all. But I promise - in the future, you will definitely thank me in the future - oh!"
It was Betty who pinched him
"Okay - I'm going too far. Regardless of what I said above, in terms of the ingredient itself, dog meat is also a delicacy. It has a tender texture, full texture, is soft and waxy, chewy, and has its own flavor.
It smells good. For example, this is mine——"
He points to his work
"A large number of spices are used to bring the fragrance to the extreme. Thirty-six strokes of the knife make it fully flavorful. The corn flour wrapped on the outside not only adds a crispiness, but also locks in the gravy. The syrup poured on it at the end,
It combines all the flavors, making the dishes taste sweet and soft, without any one flavor being too much or too little. In short, it can be said in one word - perfect."
"Bah bang bang -" His hard-working speech won the applause of the little guy
"Hmm~ It sounds and looks good." Snape also agreed.
"Please teach me to taste it"
Snape walked over to the dishes and asked, "What's the point?"
"No"
"Hmph -" Hearing this, Snape snorted coldly at the dog meat, and suddenly struck out like lightning, tearing off a large piece with a "swish". Then, he immediately covered his mouth with the meat and chewed it with big mouthfuls.
He didn't care at all that his face was stained with oil and sugar juice, and there was only crazy joy in his eyes.
This wild eating appearance shocked the little wizards. They might never have dreamed of Snape looking like this.
"I really want to eat him," Betty whispered behind her.
"Shh-" Ivy motioned her to stop talking.
Snape quickly finished chewing the meat in his hands. Ignoring the stunned students, he tore off a large piece again and repeated the previous action.
...one piece, two pieces, three pieces, and didn't stop until he finished half a fan. Then he wiped his mouth with his robe nonchalantly.
"Very good~Full score for Hufflepuff" he simply commented and announced the result.
Then "Can this dog head be eaten?"
“Okay, very fragrant”
"Yeah" Snape nodded slightly, picked up the dog's head and returned to the tree.
"..." This kind of reaction gave Ivey a huge gap. Although he got full marks, he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment. This way of eating jujube wholeheartedly, let alone the taste, was not cool or hot.
"Ivy?" At this time, Mike shouted
"what?"
"Can we eat it?" He looked at the remaining half of the dog meat and swallowed a few times.
Hearing this, Ivey's eyes lit up. Seeing that everyone looked expectant, he immediately nodded and replied, "Yeah, yeah - of course, you can eat whatever you want."
After receiving the agreement, several guys cheered and rushed to the table to enjoy their meal.
"Hmm - that's so nice!"
"Oh~ Songchi, my kidneys are gone! (Brother, I'm so amazing)"
"Ivy, you're awesome!"
Yes, that's what it felt like. Several people's mouths were full of grease, their cheeks were bulging, and they were shouting at him with satisfaction. Although they couldn't express clearly, the emotions on their faces could still be clearly felt.
This deep sense of happiness is the greatest affirmation for him. It is better than any verbal praise.
"Damn it, I really want to eat it too~" Ron looked eagerly at everyone in Hufflepuff enjoying the food
"Don't be greedy~ The meat is marinated, what should we do next?" Hermione patted his head.
"Are you ready?" Unknowingly, more than an hour has passed. "Put a hook through the dog's mouth and put it in the oven."
Several people clumsily hung up the dog meat
"Brush with oil, close and bake for about twenty minutes, and then brush with sauce. Betty said that you can sprinkle some cumin powder and chili powder before baking."
At this point, Gryffindor's dishes are almost done. As for Ravenclaw, they are pure copies, so the progress is a little slower than that of the Lion House.
The preparation of Slytherin's dishes was also very smooth. The recipes Snape gave them were holographic images. The operation methods were so detailed that they were just like a step-by-step instruction. There was no need to use your own brain to think.
After about half an hour of cooking, the cooking for the other three colleges was completed.
Gryffindor's golden dog
Ravenclaw ditto
And Slytherin's charcoal grilled mouthpieces
Snape tasted them one by one, and when he found that the dishes from the Lion Court and the Eagle Court were the same, he didn't say anything. Maybe he just wanted the results.
After taking away the dog's head as usual, Slytherin was given 80 points. The other two had just passed.
At this point, this ridiculous Defense Against the Dark Arts exam has come to a successful conclusion.
