Chapter 266 Herbal Medicine Lessons and Theory of Unification
Food poisoning rarely occurs in Hogwarts. To be precise, with the magical strength and service attitude of house elves, the number of large-scale food poisoning cases among students during dinner time before this was zero.
As a young British wizard without much food appeal or cooking imagination, before Elena came, the students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had never considered making their own food.
Because of this, both the herbal medicine class and the potion class start teaching directly from potions and magic plants, and most of the rest of the common plant and animal tissues are just a brief introduction to science.
However, after the "Poisonous Mushroom Picnic Incident" that shocked the whole school last week, it directly exposed a particularly fatal weakness of Hogwarts students - compared with their understanding of magical knowledge, their understanding of some ordinary non-magical world
There are really too few.
If it is understandable that a first-grade wizard collected poisonous mushrooms by mistake, then it is really unbelievable that a group of seventh-grade students who were about to graduate fell on the small mushrooms.
No one recognized the poison of mushrooms, and no one thought of casting a simple poison identification magic (although this magic was not recorded in the spell textbook). The most important thing is that the last person who sent the message for help was a man from
A first-year witch in the Muggle world...
After experiencing this incident, the originally stubborn board of directors even showed a rare relaxation, and voted overwhelmingly to agree that Hogwarts should include the popularization of some knowledge in the non-magical world in subsequent courses - Elena will
The content of this part is collectively called [Natural Science].
As a professor of herbal medicine, Pomona Sprout is naturally very happy about this change in the curriculum. Even if the teaching tasks she needs to undertake will be more arduous, as long as more children can be exposed to
Knowledge about plants is not a problem at all.
"Identify mushrooms?"
The young wizards' eyes fell on the pile of brightly colored mushrooms in Professor Sprout's hands, especially the familiar red and white mushrooms. Many of them quietly stuck out their tongues, with a trace of fear and embarrassment on their faces.
.
"Professor, according to my experience, this cannot be eaten. Well, there are also these other ones. I guess... brightly colored mushrooms should not be eaten, right?"
Susan Bones raised her hand, pointed to the Amanita muscaria in Sprout's hand and the rest of the mushrooms, and replied in a low voice. As she spoke, the girl subconsciously turned her head to look at the trio at the end of the team.
Speaking of which, this knowledge about mushrooms also benefited from Hermione's popular science. Although Granger was sometimes unkind and harsh and egotistical, everyone still thanked and admired this smart little Gryffindor from the bottom of their hearts.
Witch's.
"It seems that you all have learned some knowledge from the lesson, which is good."
Sprout nodded noncommittally, smiled gently, and looked around at the little guys around him.
"However, it is not entirely correct. So, do any other students have other answers...Miss Granger?"
Following Susan Bones' gaze, Professor Sprout looked at the three girls at the end of the crowd, looking at Hermione with her arms raised, smiling and nodding.
"Professor, the second purple mushroom on the left in your hand is the small spray mushroom mentioned in "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Mushrooms". Eating it directly can relieve dampness poisoning. And the light blue fat mushroom is
The ice mushroom recorded in "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Mushrooms" was often grown by ancient wizards in cellars to store food, and there is no mention of it being edible."
Hermione blinked, looked at the fungus in Professor Sprout's hand, and answered with extra confidence.
Since the incident last week, she has read "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Mushrooms" three times in its entirety. She can recite the contents of the book with her eyes closed. She is very confident that even Elena can
I couldn't have answered it better than she did.
"Correct answer, five points from Gryffindor."
Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction and looked at the little wizards with a slightly serious look, "I'm sorry that even after last week's lesson, you still don't seem to realize the importance of herbalism - in fact,
If you have read the textbook carefully, you should at least be able to easily identify this blue ice mushroom."
"Miss Granger's answer is correct. Except for the small spray mushrooms, these are all inedible fungi."
Hearing Professor Sprout's praise, Hermione showed a sweet smile on her face after successfully answering the question, and glanced at Hannah and Elena beside her with a slightly proud look.
Although she was unable to attend Potions class with Hufflepuff, Hermione was still confident that she could do as well as Elena in any class - after all, for them, a perfect score was the limit.
No matter how good Elena is, she can't break through the upper limit and get more points. Everyone will always be tied.
This little beaver seems to be provoking? What a childish know-it-all.
Elena glanced at Hermione who looked like a winner, and shook her head in a funny way. She almost forgot that Hermione in class was a very competitive academic, and she still needed to be in class before she could unlock her favor.
Just accept the challenge head-on.
"Professor Sprout, I think the standard answer you mentioned seems a bit imprecise."
Just when Sprout was about to put away the fungi in his hands and turned around to open the greenhouse door, Elena suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, raised her hand and said, "In my opinion, the book "Thousands of Magic Herbs and Mushrooms"
The record is correct, but not complete."
"Um?"
Professor Sprout raised his eyebrows and looked at Elena with interest.
Overall, she quite admired this legendary little witch from her college.
It's just that before that, more attention was paid to Elena's magical talent and her ability to help and lead her classmates. She didn't know much about the true knowledge reserve of this silver-haired little witch.
After all, herbal medicine is a special subject that is different from most courses. To learn it well requires more love and time accumulation, rather than outstanding magical talent or otherworldly eloquence.
"Kaslana, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added regarding Miss Granger's identification results?"
"To be precise, it's not a supplement, but a correction."
Elena glanced at the little brown-haired beaver who had opened the textbook and started to compare it carefully, and shook her head slightly - sometimes, it is not the textbook that can make up for it.
"The danger comes from the unknown and conservative. For example, this Amanita muscaria is actually a relatively common edible fungus in Russia. The toxic substances of Amanita muscaria are water-soluble. When chopped into fine pieces or
Crush it into cubes, boil it with plenty of water and filter it several times, and then you can eat it when the soup becomes pure white."
As Elena spoke, she pointed to the red and white Amanita muscaria in Professor Sprout's hand and said softly.
In fact, when she was struggling to survive in the orphanage, Elena had eaten this fungus, which was extremely common in Europe, more than once.
Although after many times of boiling water filtration, the unique fungus aroma has almost completely disappeared, but for those children who only need to eat to replenish basic body energy, it is enough.
Elena glanced at the rest of the fungi in Sprout's hand and shrugged.
"In fact, the vast majority of all fungi are made up of substances that can be digested by our intestines and stomach."
"This means that, in theory, all of them are edible - it's just that some can be eaten directly, and some need to be slightly processed."
As early as many years ago, the accumulation of thousands of years of experience from the Great Foodie Empire had already unified all things in the world.
I can eat it many times...
And, you can only eat it once.
