Chapter 605 Cedric Diggory (5)
The night is getting darker.
Yun Ci quietly got up from the bed without waking up the three people who were already sleeping.
It's not that she wanted to eat alone, it was just a rare opportunity to be with Cedric.
Let’s wait until next time, when we can be together with friends again.
Yun Ci took her shawl and went downstairs in her slippers.
Cedric was waiting for her at the top of the stairs.
He stood quietly at the light source, with a layer of 'golden light' covering his body.
"Tatta——"
The subtle sound of footsteps caught Cedric's attention. He turned around and smiled the moment he saw the person coming.
"Xiaoci."
Yun Ci quickened her pace and stopped beside Cedric: "I'm here."
Cedric glanced at her messy hair, raised his hand, and pointed vaguely: "It's messy here."
Yun Ci tried twice but still couldn't touch the raised strand.
Seeing this, Cedric said "Excuse me" and reached out to Yunci's hair to help her straighten it.
"All right."
Yun Ci blinked and smiled: "Thank you Cedric."
Cedric's eyes flashed, and he turned around and said, "Let's go."
"Yes!" Yun Ci followed, "Can we just go there directly?"
"Correct."
"Will the house-elves prepare food for us?"
"Of course, the cooking skills of house elves are still very good. If you want to eat something, you can just tell them how to make it, and they will learn how to make it."
Yun Ci clasped her hands together in anticipation and raised them to her chest: "Then I'll teach them how to make soup!"
There aren’t a lot of ingredients here, but with the types that are available, you can still make quite a few soups.
For example, baby corn and winter melon.
Like pork chops and baby corn.
For example, tomatoes and meat slices...
If you count them carefully, there are quite a few soups that can be made.
However, stewing the soup takes a lot of time. Yun Ci taught the house-elves that if they want to drink it, they have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Tonight's snack is some stir-fried vegetables.
"Let's stir-fry some lettuce."
"Eggplant...how about frying an eggplant box?"
"By the way, let's make a simple loofah and egg drop soup."
Yunci did it herself, with Cedric helping her, and the house-elves gathered around and watched this way of making food that they had never tried before.
Peel the lettuce and cut it into small, neat pieces that are easy to eat. Then fry the garlic in hot oil, add the lettuce and stir-fry with appropriate amount of salt.
This dish can be cooked without adding light soy sauce or anything like that, it won’t affect the taste much.
The Yunci eggplant box uses beef filling because beef is the most common food here.
The beef that was originally intended to be made into steak was chopped into stuffing by Cedric, mixed with onions and a little minced ginger, and then mixed with some of the seasonings available here to adjust the taste, and then added to the chopped eggplant.
There is no shortage of potato starch here, so the Yunci skin is made of this. After wrapping it, put it into the oil pan and fry it slowly, and then fry it again on high heat, the skin will be very crispy.
"This is already seasoned, you can eat it as is, or maybe you want to dip it in some sauce."
"oh--!"
Luffa egg drop soup is even simpler.
Pour oil, add chopped green onion and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the chopped loofah and fry until soft. If you want a better taste, you can also add a handful of mushrooms. Then add boiling water, and after boiling, sprinkle the beaten egg liquid in circles, and finally sprinkle salt to season and it is ready to serve.
It can barely be considered two dishes and one soup, and paired with pre-cooked rice, it is a very sumptuous midnight snack.
Cedric kept clapping: "That's amazing!"
Yun Ci also heard a house-elf say, "As expected of a little Hufflepuff wizard."
Um...haha.
Yun Ci couldn't wait to serve herself a bowl of soup, then looked at Cedric who was also drinking soup.
"How about it?"
Cedric gave Yunci a thumbs up: "Super delicious! It's a taste I haven't tried before, but it's really delicious."
"The loofah is also delicious if stir-fried, just like lettuce."
"Then let's try it next time!"
"Okay~"
After eating and drinking, Yunci and Cedric bid farewell to the house-elves with satisfaction, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then said good night.
Breakfast the next day.
The little wizards discovered that there were three new kinds of food that they had never seen before.
Out of curiosity, each of them took a little to taste, and then these three dishes were finished first.
Because they got up early, they went to the small kitchen to drink some stewed soup in advance. Yun Ci and Cedric looked at each other secretly and smiled at the same time.
*
Thursday.
The first-year wizards had their first flying lesson.
Yun Ci knew that Harry Potter would reveal his excellent flying talent next, so she pulled her three roommates to the side to avoid it.
"up!"
"up!"
There was a sound of "up" and the brooms fell into the hands of the children one after another.
Yun Ci was not used to riding on the broom, and before Professor Rolanda Hooch gave the order, Neville flew uncontrollably into the sky.
As Neville was 'flying' around, the memory ball he had just received this morning fell out of his clothes and was picked up by Draco Malco.
Harry Potter was arguing with Draco about the Remembrano, and was seen by Professor McGonagall when he was flying to pick up the ball.
When Harry Potter reappeared, the news that he had joined the Quidditch team as a first-year student and served as a seeker had spread throughout Hogwarts.
Yun Ci watched the three protagonists leave, knowing that they would go to the forbidden area on the third floor next. She raised her wrist to check the time and closed the book she was reading.
"We should go back to the dorm."
Susan Bones checked the time: "Oh my God, we should go, friends, or we will lose points--"
There is only one Potions class in the morning on Friday, and after that there are two days of rest.
During the weekends at Hogwarts, most young wizards would not go home because of the distance.
Only wizards in the third grade and above will have the opportunity to visit Hogsmeade village with permission from their parents.
This Saturday, Cedric plans to go to Hogsmeade. He has been looking forward to it for a long time.
"I'll bring you candy."
Yun Ci responded and watched Cedric leave with a smile.
"Okay, now it's time for me to do my little hobby in this life."
Yun Ci returned to the dormitory, picked up her small suitcase, and quietly came to the 'Room of Requests'.
"I need a room where I can do alchemy."
"I need a room where I can do alchemy."
"I need a room where I can do alchemy."
On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, opposite the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas to death with a stick, Yun Ci silently recited back and forth three times.
Magically, a door appeared on the empty wall.
Yun Ci pushed the door open and saw that the room was exactly suitable for alchemy.
Even the utensils are laid out inside.
Yun Ci put the small suitcase on the table, took out some materials for making a wand, and tugged at her sleeves.
"Then let me study it--"
Give the wand a slight 'transformation'.
