Chapter 376 The Magic World Is Not Afraid Of Spicy (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Most of the wizards from the Ministry of Magic spoke highly of this novel and unique way of dining at Hogwarts, and everyone happily enjoyed the food in front of them.
Of course, except for Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge, who had been given special attention by Elena and were "eating hot and spicy food", the abnormally spicy fried eggs with chopped pepper almost defeated them in an instant.
of taste buds.
Unlike sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami, spicy is not a taste in a strict sense.
From a neuroscientific perspective, the feeling of spiciness is produced by capsaicin and other substances acting on receptor proteins on the pain fibers in the tongue, creating a mixed feeling of heat and pain.
This is why when people are exposed to spicy food, they must not try to relieve the heat by drinking hot water. Drinking hot water will not only not relieve the pain, but will cause the capsaicin to quickly spread from the tip of the tongue to the entire mouth, which will also cause damage to the already injured areas.
Cause secondary damage to the tongue and oral mucosa.
This also means...
"Oh, thank you, Madam Pomfrey."
Cornelius Fudge breathed a long sigh of relief, took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said gratefully.
"A little tip, don't touch those peppers."
Poppy Pomfrey, the head nurse of Hogwarts, shook her head helplessly, waved her wand, and expertly saved Dolores Umbridge, who was sitting next to Fudge and breathing fire.
——Healing magic can relieve spicy food, which is something she only discovered recently.
Over the past few days, she has cured several smoking little guys.
This is not surprising. Under strong stimulation from the outside world, wizards with magical physiques will occasionally experience some strange situations.
However, if she remembers correctly, regarding this matter, Elena had already promised in front of Professor Dumbledore yesterday afternoon that she would reduce the spiciness to a level that normal wizards can bear.
And judging from the situation at the Slytherin table today, the chef lady has indeed made changes.
At least at this glance, Madam Pomfrey saw several young Slytherin wizards who also ordered fried eggs with chopped pepper. Apart from being slightly blushing, they were not as exaggerated as the two Ministry of Magic officials showed -
-If you can't eat spicy food, don't be brave, these Ministry of Magic politicians...
Madam Pomfrey slowly put away her wand and glanced at their plates with a frown.
"This is the devil pepper from India. If you can't eat spicy food, I suggest you stay away from all dishes with the word pepper on the Slytherin House table."
"Ha, I didn't expect this to be so spicy. I thought..."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Cornelius Fudge's face. He followed Mrs. Pomfrey's gaze and looked at the Slytherin table. His eyes paused for a moment on the bright red scrambled eggs with chopped pepper and sighed.
Shaked his head.
After so many years of graduation, both Hogwarts and Slytherin College have changed a lot. At least the tastes of this batch of young wizards are still too trendy and exciting. He has already entered middle age.
I can't keep up a bit.
"Hoo ha, ha ha..." Umbridge gasped, pulling aside the fried eggs with chopped peppers on the plate with fear on her face, as if it was some kind of poisonous and terrible potion, "This is it.
Hogwarts now? It’s really too bad. As the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, I suggest that the Ministry of Magic needs to increase the review mechanism for these foods.”
"Oh, Ms. Dolores, this may be difficult."
Not far away, Dumbledore grinned, his eyes sparkling.
"Everyone has their own favorite or disgusting foods. You know, I've always wanted to get carrots out of the Hogwarts kitchen... but over the years, I've only managed to keep them out of the kitchen.
It’s just in front of you.”
"To be honest, I don't like carrots either."
Cornelius Fudge shrugged and nodded in agreement.
"But I can't help it. My wife and children like it very much, so every time I eat, I have a headache... But speaking of it, the grilled durian on this menu tastes really good. If possible, can I eat it before leaving?
When the time comes, ask the Hogwarts kitchen to cook an extra portion for me to take home."
"Of course," Dumbledore replied happily, "In fact, you don't have to make a decision so early at all. There is still some time before breakfast time, and I think you will soon find out that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Today’s delicious and unique dishes are not just grilled durian.”
No matter what, food is the easiest bridge to ease the atmosphere.
For Albus Dumbledore, he can certainly rely on his own strength to directly negotiate with everyone in the Ministry of Magic, but this is not a healthy and cooperative attitude, and it does not apply to Hogwarts.
any benefit.
In comparison, it is obviously a better way to communicate through a sumptuous Hogwarts breakfast experience to allow wizards from the Ministry of Magic to recall their experiences studying at Hogwarts.
…
Happy time always passes quickly.
After breakfast, Dumbledore led everyone from the Ministry of Magic towards the principal's office.
According to the original schedule, they will discuss how to deal with the "secret room" together.
You know, although the basilisk in the original work seems to be easy to solve, in fact, the terror and difficulty of the basilisk has always been at the top of the Ministry of Magic's magical beast ratings.
The ability to determine direct death is more powerful than Avada's Kedavra, the snake venom is almost indestructible, and the skin is highly resistant to magic, especially when this basilisk is still entrenched under Hogwarts.
This level of difficulty is even higher than when the magic world encircled and suppressed the giant tribe more than ten years ago.
After that, they still need to discuss the corresponding response measures of Hogwarts and the wizarding world in the face of the pressure from Gringotts. Of course, there is also the issue of how to unify the caliber on the "Hogwarts Calendar".
Overall, today is destined to be a long day for both Albus Dumbledore and everyone at the Ministry of Magic. In fact, Cornelius Fudge and others have already made plans to stay in school.
Mental preparation for the whole day.
But for Elena, this is obviously quite good news.
At this time, she was standing on the covered bridge outside Hogwarts Castle, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Lovegood family.
Next to her, stood an old wizard with warm eyes - logically speaking, "Albus Dumbledore" should still be in the principal's office at this time, receiving everyone from the Ministry of Magic.
