On the second day of the Potions Championship, Charles woke up before dawn and began preparing breakfast for everyone.
Professor Babrin was a little nervous, afraid that someone would choose a slut for the competition, so he decided to solve the problem of three meals per month.
Just don't have that cooking skills... Spencer almost thought someone was poisoning in the pudding, and then ruby taught him to cherish food with his wings.
So Charles had to go to the vegetable market in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, with Professor Babrin to buy ingredients and cook. According to her, no one would have thought of poisoning the Muggle dishes.
If you want to avoid the environment of the vegetable market... When Charles bought vegetables, he dared to buy those who needed to peel them, and those who wanted to kill the meat.
The competition time starts at 9 o'clock and ends at 17 o'clock. During this period, the preparation of potions requires a lot of brain power and physical energy, and the wrong body consumes a lot.
The theory is that there is half an hour to have lunch and rest time, but there is no time to eat, so I want to eat enough for breakfast.
Charles made a big shepherd's pie early in the morning. Its surface is baked with slightly burnt cheese, a layer of creamy mashed potatoes in the middle, the easternmost part of the beef and chopped carrots, onions, and serious mushrooms.
meat filling.
Apart from Shepherd's pie, there are few regulars who are frying eggs, fried bacon and milk in traditional breakfast menus.
When everyone started to eat breakfast, Charles had to prepare for lunch. Considering that the lunch time was short, he could prepare the fast food. He prepared the pastry, and without spider legs, he could use sausage instead
Roll it up and bake. Also great with oatmeal added in maple syrup, brown sugar, butter made with oatmeal scones and some vegetable sandwiches.
Simo and others were also going to work. Some helped to get crucibles and other tools, and some brought medicinal materials. Whenever they brought them out, Professor Bablin was holding a list at the door and chewing them.
The venue for the Potion Championship is located in the square in front of the auditorium on the top of the mountain. There are four long tables and shelves behind them. The participating teams first put the tools and materials, and the members of the referee team composed of the principal will conduct inspections.
When Charles brought lunch to the audience, the leaders had just finished talking and began to draw questions.
In front of the referee, there was a mouthful of a large crucible that could throw Charles into a stew. Dumbledore went over and pointed an area with his old wand, and a large ball of steam emerged from it, forming the name of the disease that would be cured for tomorrow's potion.
"Swelling of the head"
The audience suddenly talked about it, not because the disease was too difficult to treat, but because it was too common, because the patient smelled the bad cheese and drank unclean rainwater, the head would inflate and turn into a balloon.
There are many medicines.
Among the scoring standards for the drug, the preparation time weight is the least, with 10 points. However, in previous years, there were no competitions that failed to complete the drug within the specified time and lost the score.
The highest weighted treatment effect accounted for 50 points. The adipose bulge can be subdivided into treatment completion, treatment time, side effects, etc.
It is difficult to get points that can widen the gap by relying on efficacy in that level of competition. After all, no one will compete with poor-quality potions, and the levels of all teams are very close.
The initial 40 points came from the innovation of potions. If you prepare a market that does not score if there is an existing potion, then the best place to open up the score.
The game determines the outcome with the total score of five games. If the scores are the same, it depends on the ranking points of those games. If the other games are the same, there will be a playoff.
At this time, the participating teams began to discuss, and the Hogwarts team also discussed for more than ten minutes.
"Just use that prescription." Olivia, as the captain, made the decision at first. "Don't have to be too radical in the first game, make sure the score remains in the first half."
Cedric asked, “So please use that?”
Olivia replied: "Please use, they didn't test it a few days ago. Is it very effective?"
Spencer also said: "They do two legs and use both methods at the same time. If there is a problem, it will cost at most some time."
Everyone quickly reached an agreement and began to work according to their own division of labor.
Waga was also prepared for the mule edge, and half an hour later, four patients with head swelling symptoms were invited.
Next to the Hogwarts audience, Is there an Ilfmoni Magic School from the United States, and Charles was walking beside a blonde blue-eyed American girl with a cowboy hat, also named Smith, who was handing over the popcorn and said:
"His father will treat that disease, just move your legs and fingers."
Charles grabbed a handful of popcorn and ate it, and asked, "Miss Smith, how did Mr. Smith treat it?"
"Just call him Lily." The girl's name made Charles' mouth slightly bent, "It's very simple. Put the potion into the Colt M1860 that grandpa sent to the east, and just pull the trigger with his forehead incorrectly.
”
Charles twitched slightly and asked again, "Am I from which state?"
"Oklahoma." American Lily replied with popcorn chewing.
Charles didn't feel strange when he heard it.
Lily continued: "If you have the chance, you can come to his farm and if you want to hunt him, he will take me to the ranch of his sister Lucy's house, who is in Texas, and there are a lot of boars and wolves."
Charles said a little embarrassedly: "Will it be too disturbing?"
"Hehe..." Lily laughed and whispered to him, "He knows if I've sent that bastard's letter to the Demon French Society. He's now in prison."
Charles was so bright that she said no, the Ilfmoni student who sold mushroom powder to herself.
Lily continued to say fiercely: "That bastard doesn't have his stepmother's son, he likes both of them. The woman said she was wrong, peanut allergy is not working at all, and his father does anything, and he even doubts her
I used a romance agent.”
Charles said: "Then apply peanut butter to her legs and slap her."
Lily was stunned, then stretched out her legs and hugged him and burst into laughter, which attracted the audience beside her to look at her side.
The game was going on in an orderly manner while the two were chatting. The operations of the four teams looked slow and without any impatient appearance. It can be seen that the first game was mainly stable.
At noon, the teams of the four schools prepared the potion.
Olivia and the others were one hour slower than the fastest Kodosdorez, but twenty and thirty minutes faster than Vagado and the Magical Institute, respectively.
After receiving Donglai, they tested the efficacy of the medicine. After drawing lots, the legs gave the medicine to their patients who were wrong.
The first patient drank the potion handed over by Olivia, and his nostrils instantly turned into a rocket engine that violently sprayed gas.
The patient's head returned to normal as soon as he coughed twice, and some gas rushed into his lungs was a bit uncomfortable.
The second patient drank the potion from the Codosdorez team, then burped a long time, and his head recovered.
The potion of Vagado team was also drunk by the third patient. His ears began to spray on both sides, but his head looked a little dizzy after recovering. It was estimated that the external ear was affected.
Compared with the East Magic Institute, the drug treatment speed is the fastest, and the patient's seven orifices is quite spectacular, so the patient's eyes are almost blown out by the airflow.
At first, Kodos Dorez got the full mark. They creatively crushed the medicinal materials and put them directly into the vodkari that could ignite the blue flame. After a while, it was completed. The hiccup did not cause discomfort to the patient.
I even wanted to have another drink.
The Hogwarts team also showed creative work. A newly bought pressure cooker shortened the initial treatment time of the potion from four hours to twenty minutes, and whether the patient was choked on the lungs was deducted a little, and the initial time was obtained.
96 points.
The potions of Vagado and the Magic Institute are innovative in medicinal materials, but they are not as good as the technology innovations of the other two companies, and the side effects are quite wrong. They initially scored 92 and 91 points.
I will warm up the content the next day, and the score is also higher. The gap between the highest score and the lowest score can be recovered in the subsequent games.
Those two days have more work, so I will make up for it later
