Chapter 348 Welcome to Hogwarts version 1.5 (thanks to the leader of the cool watermelon)
The open space next to the Black Lake in Hogwarts is the private "vegetable garden" of Slytherin House.
"This is what the servants and house elves do, not the students. I thought the most we could do was wave a wand and supervise the elves in their work-"
A tall and thin Slytherin boy looked at Snape angrily, waved his arms and protested loudly.
Just now, Snape showed them the correct procedure for burying seeds in the soil.
Magic is not omnipotent. In order to ensure that the plants will not lodging during the process of using magic to speed up plant growth, they must go into the moist soil and bury the seeds into the soil with their own hands - at least for the little wizards
Generally speaking, this step is unavoidable.
"Unfortunately, if you still want to stay in Hogwarts, these are the things you have to do. Or next time before you waste food, you should think about it. This is a wrong behavior, isn't it?
?and……"
Snape, who was standing in the mud, stood up straight, looked at the boy with an unkind expression, narrowed his eyes and whispered softly.
"Mr. Timo Rozier...do you mean that I am also a house elf or a servant?"
"No, Professor, I definitely didn't mean to offend you. I mean, there aren't that many house elves in Hogwarts..."
Facing Professor Snape's cold gaze, Timo Rozier couldn't help but shudder. The anger and dissatisfaction in his heart was extinguished instantly as if a basin of ice water was poured on him.
He explained stammeringly.
He suddenly remembered some rumors about Professor Snape that his elders at home had accidentally heard while chatting - it was said that Professor Snape was once the right-hand man of the mysterious man. After the mysterious man fell, he somehow managed to seduce him.
He fell in love with Dumbledore and became a professor at Hogwarts.
"Hmm, maybe you should write a letter home and send a house elf to serve you 24 hours a day?"
Snape couldn't help but snorted coldly, looked around at the young wizards standing around, and said without mercy.
"If there are others who think that they are born to be superior to others, or that there is something wrong with farming, then you can go back to the castle to pack your bags and leave now - if you think that everything can be done by house elves, then
There seems to be no need to stay here and continue learning magic, right?"
An extremely ugly expression appeared on Timo Rozier's face, as if he couldn't help but burst out at the next moment.
However, when his eyes touched Snape's expressionless face, his lips twitched slightly, and then he lowered his gaze involuntarily, staying in place like a piece of wood without moving.
"Great, I don't want to hear the same complaints."
Snape nodded, glanced at the faces of the surrounding students, took out a long roll of parchment from the wizard's robe, and continued, "This is the list of breeds provided by the school for you. There are a total of 113 species recorded on it.
Plants. Considering that you may not know some of these plants, some plants will be followed by a certain introduction."
In fact, statistics show that if most people have not been engaged in botanical research for a long time, or are extreme survival enthusiasts, the number of plants that most people can accurately identify in the wild usually does not exceed fifty.
After all, another purpose of the "Hogwarts Farming" activity is to enhance the young wizards' knowledge of some edible non-magical plants, at least to know which ones are edible - try to avoid the same situation as before.
, the embarrassing situation where both grades were knocked down by poisonous mushrooms.
You know, in order to increase the fun and popularization of science, Elena specially noted the nicknames of some relatively unpopular plants in the non-magical world, so that young wizards can better choose and remember.
For example, "the king of fruits in Southeast Asia, durian", "the choice of strong men, chives", "the oldest condiment, mustard", "the hell flame from India, devil pepper", "the king of herbs, fishy"
"Grass", "Obesity Killer, Bitter Melon"...
As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless. Elena believes that with the help of such interesting and attractive labels, those little wizards who lack common sense will definitely have the courage to plant boldly and use common sense - as for after planting, they
Will you refuse to eat it? Don’t forget, wasting food will prolong the farming time.
"Gemma Farley, this roll of parchment is for you. Before noon today, tell me the final list you have decided on."
Severus Snape rolled up the list in his hand and handed it to the Slytherin girl wearing the prefect badge standing on his right. He paused for a moment and waved his fingers on the dirt behind him.
.
"Also, I hope that before today, I can see that you have finished sowing the prescribed portions of wheat and lettuce. If you don't want to gulp down the bread and vegetables on other college tables in the next week.
.”
"Now...let's begin."
After saying that, Snape crossed his arms and walked to the side of the "vegetable garden", quietly watching the Slytherin wizards begin to discuss and assign work - this was also the last unified discussion between the four deans and Dumbledore.
During the whole process, they only serve as a supervisor and guide, and the rest has to be left to the students themselves.
Although they were still a little reluctant, under Snape's gaze, after a slight hesitation, the Slytherin wizards gathered together obediently and began to discuss in low voices what plants they should plant.
The first thing that caught their eyes were naturally those plants with the nicknames "King of So and So" or "Oldest and Ancient" - after all, for them, apart from potatoes, lettuce, and wheat, they really didn't know them.
Too many vegetables.
And those vegetables with very ordinary names are naturally not the choices that the noble Slytherin should make.
…
Compared with Slytherin House and Gryffindor House, the choice of the other two houses is obviously much easier.
Hufflepuff House, which is close to nature, has a large number of people, and has a talent bonus for farming. When faced with this problem, it took less than five minutes to come to a unified conclusion. It directly followed the previous Hogwarts
The layout of the vegetable garden can be planted exactly as it is.
As the professor who knows best about planting in the entire Hogwarts, Professor Sprout naturally chose the most comfortable land for the children in his college - the original vegetable garden of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Nothing has changed.
It just changed from being managed by house elves to being managed by little wizards.
On the other side of Ravenclaw House, it was a different scene.
As mentioned before, Ravenclaw is almost exclusively made up of girls. When the entire college gathered together to start the discussion, they could clearly see the dozen or so pitiful little boys dotted among them.
Dare to speak loudly - although for them, this may be another kind of happiness?
Since most of them are girls, the little wizards in Ravenclaw do not show much interest in growing vegetables and staple foods. They put more attention on the fruits at the end of the list.
You know, compared to the sumptuous dinner dishes, the fruit supply before Hogwarts has always been relatively shabby, usually only apples, tomatoes, pumpkins...
Now that they have the opportunity to come into contact with a variety of fruits, the little wizards of Ravenclaw will naturally feel a sense of dreamlike happiness.
In the end, Professor Flitwick had to reduce part of the original portion of wheat and lettuce to make room for the various fruit trees the children wanted to plant.
Yes, to a certain extent, it is slightly similar to Gryffindor House, except that potatoes have been replaced by the category of fruit - the land located under Ravenclaw Tower is now not so much
It might be more appropriate to call it a vegetable garden or an orchard.
In this way, this historic magic castle unknowingly entered Hogwarts version 1.5, officially starting a long and happy life at Hogwarts Magic Farm.
Neither the young wizard nor the professors have realized what a... this will be.
