This may be the racial talent engraved deep in the soul of every Chinese person.
As long as there is soil, there will be ideas about what to plant.
In fact, every time she saw the land outside the Hogwarts Castle Forest Farm, there seemed to be a little voice in Elena's mind that kept muttering: "Such a good site will be left uncultivated if we don't plant something."
What a pity.”
As an expert in herbalism and the dean of Hufflepuff, Professor Sprout has a purer love and obsession for plant planting and cultivation than Elena - if it weren't for Dumbledore
Due to objections from other professors, she even thought about turning Hogwarts Castle into a plant kingdom.
Therefore, after a short conversation, the two witches, one large and one small, in the vegetable field became more and more animated, and invariably they felt that they had not met for a long time.
"...In addition to the existing vegetable plot, open an orchard? What a wonderful idea."
Pomona Sprout's eyes lit up, and a look of excitement appeared on her round face.
"You are right. Hogwarts does still have a lot of room for improvement in the cultivation and cultivation of fruits - so which fruits should we introduce first? As for the venue, it should be next to the vegetable field or near the Forbidden Forest.
Can."
Hogwarts is not just the main part of the castle.
Strictly speaking, even according to Salazar Slytherin's land deed thousands of years ago, the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmeade actually belong to the scope of Hogwarts. And as time goes by
As time goes by, the mysterious space magic has long made the actual size of the entire Hogwarts far exceed the scope of visual inspection.
With legitimate reasons, Professor Sprout is naturally confident that he can apply for the right to use additional land resources - after all, compared to greenhouses, the consumer group of these vegetable fields and orchards is all teachers and students.
"Let me think about it, now that it's summer, the first choices are of course watermelon, mango, lemon, white peach, grape, pineapple... Of course, apples are also indispensable." Elena crossed her fingers and counted them one by one carefully.
She really couldn't stand Hogwarts' traditional pumpkin juice. Although it was carefully prepared by the house elves, it did have a unique flavor. But if she could choose, Elena would still prefer some regular drinks, such as
Talk about watermelon juice, mango juice, lemon juice, etc.
"And it's not just fruits and drinks after meals, many desserts and staple dishes are also quite delicious when added with fruits."
Elena thought for a while, looked at the fat witch in front of her, and added seriously.
"Professor Sprout, I don't know if you have been to India. If there is a chance in the future, I can ask the Hogwarts kitchen to try to make a classic Indian snack called [Gabadi], paired with various fruits.
, there can even be dozens of different flavors.”
"Ah, gabadi is the kind of flatbread that flies in the air in the non-magical world of India, right?"
To Elena's surprise, Professor Sprout thought for a moment, nodded and answered.
"When I went to India a few years ago to look for a rare magical plant, I saw it in a market in the non-magical world - a very interesting and beautiful food, as thin as cicada wings, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
It's soft and delicious, and it's really delicious. It's a pity that I was in a hurry at the time and didn't have much time to taste other local delicacies, which has always been a pity."
As he spoke, Professor Sprout licked his lower lips nostalgically, as if he was still savoring the delicious taste.
Compared with other carefree professors, it is actually quite difficult for Pomona Sprout to leave the castle and travel. After all, she still needs to take care of the magical plants in several greenhouses in the school at any time.
, almost every time I go out I am in a hurry and don’t dare to delay for too long.
"It's okay, Professor."
Elena looked at the expression on the fat witch's face and felt completely relaxed - foodies often only need one look to determine each other's identity - since they are friendly forces, the next thing is too simple
.
"Not to mention Indian cuisine, even French cuisine, Italian cuisine, and even mysterious oriental cuisine, as long as the ingredients are properly prepared, I can find a way to present it to you and everyone at Hogwarts. Today's breakfast is just
It’s just the most basic simple meal.”
"Having confidence is a good thing, but don't be too proud... don't imitate, um..."
Looking at the confident silver-haired little witch, Professor Sprout smiled and shook his head. Due to the fact that there was a certain little lion at the scene, he did not finish what he said - maybe he would need to find a way to let Elena
Make more friends in college.
"Don't worry, I will never joke about cooking. However, if you can, can you keep it a secret for me for the time being, about the Hogwarts kitchen... and the vegetable garden, maybe this afternoon
I can't come, I still need to work as a teaching assistant in the Potions classroom."
Elena nodded seriously, hesitated for a moment, and said frankly.
The Hogwarts kitchen has not yet opened the ordering function. Elena is not interested in dealing with a bunch of weird menus every day. It is up to her to decide what the school eats every day.
And similarly, compared to the vegetable garden that cannot be run away, the pressure on Professor Snape...well, the strategy plan cannot be interrupted-Professor Sprout has admitted that he does not have the potential of a top chef, so the only
The hope still falls on the Half-Blood Prince.
"Of course, I know. But don't worry, the rewards you deserve will not be less."
Professor Sprout smiled slightly, and after adjusting her mentality, she looked at Elena with more admiration.
"Anyway, don't rush now. We'll have a good discussion at the weekend."
Professor Sprout paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at the little wizards who were coming out of the castle one after another, clapped his hands happily, and said kindly to Elena and the other three.
"Okay, kids, come with me to the greenhouse now. We're getting ready to start class."
…
Facts have proved that integrity and preference are not in conflict, even the Head of Hufflepuff is no exception.
In the following herbal medicine class, Elena finally felt for the first time what a pleasant class experience it would be if she could get a professor's favor.
"Elena, tell me, what is this?" Professor Sprout raised the tool in his hand and directly called her name.
"This is a collection tool formed after the antlers are cast by magic, Professor. The shedding and regeneration of the antlers give them the same magical power, so they are very suitable for touching and digging for magical plants." Elena answered without hesitation.
"Correct answer, five points for Hufflepuff!"
"Oh no..." Hermione lowered her arms in despair, her cute little face bulging slightly.
This is already the third time. Compared to yesterday’s evenly matched performance, today has completely become Elena’s personal stage.
Professor Sprout left almost all questions to Elena to answer - even if Elena didn't raise her hand, in most cases, Professor Sprout would subconsciously click on the little witch's name.
Let her answer.
In contrast, Elena naturally lived up to Professor Sprout's expectations, answered all the answers perfectly, and successfully obtained every bonus point.
After just one Herbology class, Elena earned thirty points for Hufflepuff House, while Hermione only got five points for Gryffindor. This obvious difference in treatment did not even qualify her.
All the little wizards in Llanffindor felt it.
"That's too much. I'm not saying anything bad about my eldest sister."
While Elena walked to the front of the greenhouse and cooperated with Professor Sprout for the final teaching demonstration, Ron lowered his voice and said angrily to Hermione in the front right.
"Obviously you were the only one raising your hand later, but Professor Sprout always asked the eldest sister to answer the question. As a result, our score was overtaken by Hufflepuff again - even if Professor Dumbledore is included.
Fifty points for you."
"Yes, there are too many extra points for Hufflepuff today, right?" Harry on the side also echoed.
"Stop it, Ron, Harry, you don't understand at all."
Hermione bit her lip, raised her head, her brown eyes reflected Elena's figure, shook her head and spoke softly.
"This is the score Elena deserves, but Professor Sprout has rewarded her in a different way. In fact, I think she deserves more points, after all..."
Before he finished speaking, a deep and deep bell sounded across the damp field and came from the direction of the castle - get out of class was over.
Elena smiled sweetly at Professor Sprout, hurried over, took the slightly depressed Hermione and Luoli and began to comfort her in a low voice. Hannah also leaned over to ease the atmosphere together.
Ron and Harry looked at each other helplessly and shrugged.
Ever since Elena returned to the castle, they knew that it was only a matter of time before Hufflepuff surpassed Gryffindor. However, it was only a day later that Hufflepuff overtook Gryffindor, which still made them a little disappointed.
The other students also moved their shoulders, left the greenhouse, and walked in the direction of the castle in twos and threes, intending to take a quick shower and then take the textbooks with them to the next class.
The next class for the students of Gryffindor House is Charms, together with the young wizards of Ravenclaw.
The little wizards of Hufflepuff College went to the Transfiguration classroom on the second floor of the castle, and faced Professor McGonagall with the little wizards of Slytherin...
"Old cat girl... Grilled fish coming? Water of life and death?" Standing at the door of the Transfiguration classroom, Elena snorted softly.
"Elena Kaslana... owl? Fat chicken with a round face?" In the classroom, Professor McGonagall, who turned into a cat and squatted on the podium, had a cold look in her eyes.
This class is destined not to be such a relaxing and enjoyable class.
