Chapter 159 Girls use it for themselves!
Rove caught more than a dozen carnivorous slugs, and prepared to bring them back to the box to reproduce in large numbers, and use them as rations for basilisks and fire dragons.
With the slugs out of the way, Hagrid invited them to the cabin for a chat, serving up steaming rock cakes and a new pastry...sweet shortbread.
Said it was sweet shortbread, but Rove didn't see the sugar, but found that the shortbread was covered with a thick layer of salt.
"Hagrid, did you mix up sugar and salt?" Rove asked cautiously.
"No, the sugar is under the salt!" Hagrid said with some embarrassment, "There was too much sugar, and it made my throat a little dull, so I added some salt to make the taste more comfortable and not too greasy.
Come on, everyone, you are welcome, try it all, don't be polite to me. "
"..."
Rolf, Shirley and Hermione exchanged glances, all judiciously holding up the perilla tea without touching the shortbread.
Hagrid's coquettish operation silenced the Sweet and Salty Party.
Hagrid's teeth were really good. He picked up the rock cake and crunched it...it was delicious.
"I hear Lockhart is in hospital again?"
"Yes, he was injured by the elf." Rove took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "But he was discharged from the hospital again today."
He stayed in the hospital three times a week, and Rove was still worried about whether Lockhart would choose to resign in a fit of anger these two days, but he didn't expect him to leave.
I have to say... Lockhart is quite brave.
"He'll have to be hospitalized sooner or later!" Hagrid gloated a little:
"The last time he came to me, he wanted to teach me how to prevent water monsters from getting into the well, and he also bragged about how he exorcised female ghosts... If one sentence in it was true, I would eat the teapot."
Rove glanced at Hermione meaningfully, and the girl stared back at him unreasonably, but she didn't refute, but continued to drink her tea sullenly.
Hagrid rarely criticized the Hogwarts professors, and even he said so...
Hermione felt a little uncomfortable. Why did she always lose the bet with Rove? !
But although she always lost, it also aroused Hermione's strong determination to win. She firmly believed that she would win Rove one day.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Hagrid stood up and opened the wooden door. Harry and Ron appeared outside the door.
Harry helped Ron in, and Ron's mouth and nose kept getting greasy slugs, which looked disgusting.
Hagrid hurriedly took out a big bucket and put it in front of Ron, letting him spit in it. He asked concerned, "What happened?"
Harry sat on the chair and said quickly: "Just now on the Quidditch pitch, our academy held a selection of new players..."
"Gryffindor is starting to select new players now?" Rove was a little surprised.
The selection of the Quidditch team is usually the second week after the start of school, but I didn't expect Gryffindor to advance a week this year.
"George and Fred said that Captain Wood wanted to find a new Seeker as soon as possible, and then start training." Harry explained.
Because of Rove's butterfly effect, Harry didn't become a Gryffindor Seeker in his first year, so they defeated Slytherin last term.
In order to win the Quidditch Cup, Wood chose to select in advance, so that the new team can be run in as soon as possible.
Well, Gryffindor has really become the earliest team preparing for the 92-93 season.
Snape, who got the news, immediately signed a special approval, letting the Slytherin team go to the Quidditch field for training... It was his greatest joy to be disgusted to Gryffindor.
"Ron and I were participating in the audition, and Draco Malfoy came, holding a "Daily Prophet." Harry continued:
"There is an interview report of Malfoy's father, attacking Mr. Weasley, and asking him to resign..."
"And you got into a fight?" Hagrid gruffly.
Harry nodded and said, "Ron's wand broke, and the spell he cast bounced back on himself."
"It's a good thing you missed Malfoy, Ron! You were too impulsive!" Hagrid said with a gruff face, "If you really hit that kid, his father will definitely come to trouble you, Lucius Malfoy Fu Ke is the school manager..."
Ron opened his mouth to speak, but instead of burping, a few slugs fell from his mouth onto his lap.
"Is there any way to treat Ron?" Harry asked hastily.
"I think we can only wait for him to spit it out." Hagrid turned his head and asked, "Rove, what can you do?"
"I'll try." Rove pulled out his wand, pointed at Ron and said, "The spell stops!"
No more slugs appeared in Ron's stomach. He lay weakly on the chair and said palely, "Thank you, Rove!"
"Ron, you should hurry up and buy a new wand from Ollivander," Rove reminded. "A broken wand is useless and can easily backfire and hit yourself."
Ron smiled wryly. Not only was his father suspended by the Ministry of Magic because of the flying car, but Ginny also told him that he might be fined.
There was no money at all for a new wand for him.
"It's okay, I was in the school's second-hand market, and I saw a second-hand wand. The seller said it was for girls' own use, and it was 99% new...the price is still very cheap." Ron said weakly.
"..."
After hearing this, Rove inexplicably remembered that he bought a graphics card in a certain salted fish in his previous life, which seemed to be the same reasoning.
He immediately persuaded Ron... The water in the second-hand market is very deep, and it is not something Ron can grasp.
But it's a pity that Ron has been brainwashed by the girl's own use of this gimmick.
It was noon soon, and Hagrid left them to eat at the cabin.
This time it wasn't rock cakes, but beef stew. In Hagrid's words, Ya Ya's mouth watered after smelling it.
Rove thought about what else could be wrong with beef, and casually order some beef stew with potatoes, which are the top ingredients for dinner, and it is not difficult, so he agreed.
But he obviously underestimated the gold content of Britain's "gourmet desert", and even underestimated the creativity of Hagrid who can make dark dishes like "rock cake".
Just standing in the kitchen for a moment, Rove saw Hagrid add half a bottle of tomato juice and a large block of cheese to the pot.
Maybe it's a special technique... Rove comforted himself like this, and then watched him add the crushed rock cake.
This was not enough. Hermione also found dried carnivorous slugs on the shelf at the door. After asking, she realized that this was only a small part of the hodgepodge.
It turns out that the essence of the beef hodgepodge is not the beef, but the hodgepodge...
Hagrid had already served the table, and the three hurriedly found an excuse to leave in a hurry. Before leaving, Rove asked Harry and Ron to go together, but unfortunately they didn't understand and had already picked up their forks.
When he came to the lawn, Rove looked back at the cabin where the smoke was curling up, and said with lingering fear:
"Are humans supposed to eat slugs? Never trust anything Hagrid cooks again!"
"It also depends on the technique, I have eaten French snails before." Hermione was out of breath, holding her waist with one hand and said:
"The taste is softer and smoother than oysters, with good elasticity, soft and juicy."
"Then why are you running so fast?" Rove twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Go back now, and you can still taste England-style slugs."
"Forget it then." The girl shook her head vigorously like a rattle: "I'd rather starve to death!"
"..."
inside the cabin,
Harry and Ron took their forks, and each thrust into a large, dark mass.
"Hurry up, you two lucky fellows, you won't get such good food in the auditorium!" Hagrid urged.
Harry and Ron stuffed food into their mouths.
"vomit!"
