Chapter 420 Breakfast on the Tip of the Tongue (Please Vote for Me!)
Monday morning at the Weasley's.
As usual, Mrs. Weasley was already busy in the kitchen before dawn.
Although her sons have either graduated or gone to Hogwarts, she still needs to prepare today's breakfast for her husband Arthur Weasley and her youngest daughter Ginny Weasley.
"Molly, let me help you."
Just in the middle of her work, Mrs. Weasley felt a familiar solid chest pressed against her back, a pair of big hands stretched out from behind to wrap around her waist, and a slightly pricking touch came from the side of her neck.
There is no doubt that this is the male head of the Weasley family, Arthur Weasley of the Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Articles in the Ministry of Magic.
"Oh, Arthur... I'll be thankful if you don't cause trouble."
Mrs. Weasley patted the big hands that were wandering dishonestly near her waist, raised her head and looked at the railing upstairs, and whispered with a hint of anger.
"Don't be ridiculous, Ginny is still at home. If you really have nothing to do, go and get the newspaper from the door. Then talk to the child more during the meal, and don't always read the newspaper."
While instructing Mr. Weasley, she skillfully tapped the potatoes soaked in the pool with her wand, directing them to spin and begin to peel automatically.
In the brass cauldron on the other side, the cream sauce has gradually begun to bubble, exuding the alluring aroma of breakfast.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Weasley tapped the drawer where the knives were kept with her wand, and the drawer popped open.
I saw several kitchen knives popping out of the drawer one after another, flying over the kitchen, and began to cut potatoes. The dustpan that contained potatoes just now jumped aside automatically, and cut the potatoes "on my body". The skin was dumped in the garbage.
Since she only needs to prepare breakfast for three people, the process Mrs. Weasley needs to perform is not complicated.
Although deep down, Mrs. Weasley would rather be a little tired and do this for a longer time... When Ginny goes to school next year, she will be the only one left in the house during the day. .
"Don't be too upset, Molly."
Faintly feeling his wife's emotions, Mr. Weasley, who came back from the door, shrugged and consoled her.
"This is an inevitable process. Children will always grow up. You should be happy to see them achieve something. Speaking of which, I don't know how Ron is doing in school recently - oh, what is this?! "
Mr. Weasley was mid-sentence when he suddenly froze in place, looking in disbelief at the newspapers and letters he had just taken from the door. His mouth opened involuntarily, leaving only a strange whooshing sound in his mouth.
This is a very short letter, the content of which is written directly on the back of the letter paper.
[Dear Mr. Weasley, thank you and your family for your support of "The New Quibbler". The following is the advance amount of this month's royalties, totaling thirty gold galleons. Please check - BY: "The New Quibbler" 》Hogwarts Settlement Center】
Behind the letter is a small cloth bag. When you shake it gently, you can hear a particularly pleasant sound of coins clinking inside.
"What's going on, Arthur? Um...what's that in your hand?"
Mrs. Weasley wiped her hands on her apron, turned to look at her husband who was standing blankly in the living room, and raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Hogwarts sent a bunch of gold coins. I'm still a little confused about the specific situation."
Mr. Weasley first opened the wallet and took a look, then subconsciously looked at the magazine at the bottom of his hand - "The New Quibbler"? He didn't remember that he had subscribed to this magazine, let alone contributed to it.
Frowning, Arthur Weasley quickly opened the thick "The New Quibbler" in his hand and flipped through it a few times. His eyes gradually turned from confusion to surprise, and finally turned into deep pride, and he waved the magazine in his hand vigorously. .
"Molly, something big seems to have happened. The boys in our family published an article in this magazine, and we were paid a total of thirty gold galleons. Let's take a look at the specific situation. ”
"Publish articles, just George and Fred? It's possible for Percy, but that would have to be after graduation at least."
A funny look appeared on Mrs. Weasley's face. She still didn't know what kind of virtues her children had.
She was thankful that those brothers could stay peacefully in school without causing trouble. As for publishing articles to make money to support the family, it was simply too hard to believe.
However, even though she said it was impossible, Mrs. Weasley quickly put down the wand in her hand and walked in the direction of her husband. She looked curiously at the thick publication in Arthur Weasley's hand that she had never seen before. .
"The New Quibbler, this publication is wholly owned by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Mrs. Weasley glanced at the cover first and frowned in confusion.
Compared with the simple and plain covers of other publications and books, this "New Quibbler" is more like a special publication between a newspaper and a pamphlet, and the cover is cut into four distinct parts. plate.
Each section is marked with a specific category name:
"Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue", "Into the Magic", "Discovery", "Lovegood Sees the World"
For example, in the "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" section, the background is a corner of the Potions classroom at Hogwarts, but there is a giant orange cauldron placed in the middle, which looks strange. (Picture.JPG)
Similarly, the pictures in other sections are also brightly colored, allowing people to understand the content at a glance.
On both sides of each cover image, there are rows of simple and straightforward section classifications, as well as a few lines of small fonts summarizing the content of the main articles. The first few key articles will also display the author's name on the cover. .
There is no doubt that the first thing that caught Mrs. Weasley's attention was the "must-read article" that was pushed to the top under the main cover of the "Discovery" section - "Revealing the Secret of Hogwart You Don't Know" Tzimid Road】Author: George Weasley, Fred Weasley.
"Today is not April Fool's Day, Arthur." Mrs. Weasley turned her head, glanced at her husband, and murmured.
"Of course not... No one would joke with Galleons, right?"
Mr. Weasley shook his head, pointed to the bag of gold coins placed on the dining table, and proudly patted the magazine in front of him.
"Not only that, Molly, the academic section behind also includes Percy's [Transfiguration Spellcasting Techniques in Dealing with Invertebrates], and Ron and several senior students jointly published [Mainstream Quidditch this season] Qi strength analysis and ranking]..."
There is no doubt that today is a day worth celebrating for the Weasley family.
You know, even in the magical world, showing off their children is still the favorite thing of these middle-aged office workers.
Produced by Hogwarts, it must be a high-quality product - although this advertising slogan did not exist in the wizarding world before.
But Arthur Weasley can be 100% sure that in today's wizarding world, there is no other publication that can compete with this magazine. The rich and impactful content alone is enough to sweep the entire world. Magical world.
And at such a milestone moment, my own children can have three articles. Oh no, this should be calculated based on the number of people. Four children have published articles on this. This is simply an unimaginable thing.
Frankly speaking, Arthur Weasley couldn't help but want to immediately take this magazine to the ministry, guard the elevator door, and pat someone on the shoulder when they come in - "Hey, look, these are all me Written by sons.”
"Oh, and of course there's the A Bite of Hogwarts section."
After a slight pause, Arthur Weasley glanced at his wife with a half-smile.
"After reading this magazine, I realized that the current standard of meals at Hogwarts is much higher than we imagined. If you don't want your children to be picky eaters when they come back from vacation, I suggest you study the dishes above - To be honest, just taking a glance at it made me a little hungry..."
"Three meals a day at Hogwarts? How could it be different? I don't know anymore..."
Having been challenged in her best field, Mrs. Weasley raised her eyebrows, flipped through the magazine in her hand curiously, and turned to the "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" at the front.
The next moment, exquisite animations of dishes appeared in front of her eyes, along with text descriptions printed next to them.
"At seven o'clock in the morning, the students of Hogwarts have just woken up from their beds. However, the kitchen of Hogwarts has already prepared all the dishes. The protagonist of today's breakfast is an exquisite dish called Eggs Benedict. No. No matter what condiments are needed, the golden egg liquid in poached eggs is the most delicious..."
"...The tender veal, after being roasted by the flames, has turned slightly golden and has an alluring aroma. The fat on the veal has melted under the high temperature and is still sizzling on the skin..."
"...cut open the golden fried cheese potato balls, and the thick cheese immediately flowed out, like a diagonally opened river mouth. At the same time, there were white mushrooms and smoked ham cut into small pieces... "
"The specialty potato dishes of Gryffindor House are not as simple as they seem. Even the most ordinary French fries contain different methods from what people usually do..."
“...After biting into the crispy skin of the special fries, the fragrance fills your mouth, and the soft mashed potatoes flow out of your mouth. Because they are made from fresh potatoes, the butter also brings out the natural sweetness of the potatoes; there are also Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, a little cracked sea salt, and some chopped basil..."
Mrs. Weasley swallowed involuntarily as the text was outlined and the good-looking little guys in the picture tasted the food.
Damn it...she actually wanted to apply for a study companionship!
If that doesn't work, it would be nice to go to the Hogwarts kitchen for some training! Otherwise, what should she do when the children come back from vacation? !
