Chapter 116 Preparations before Halloween Dinner

The third-year students' first trip to Hogsmeade ended with the creaking of the castle gate. On the way back, Eugene looked at Adam:

"Have you picked a good location?"

"Hmm?"

"The location for the store."

Adam thought for a moment:

"I have picked one...what's wrong?"

"Nothing, where did you pick? I'll see if there are any houses for sale next door."

"Hmm? Good idea!"

Bernard's eyes lit up:

"It just so happens that I plan to buy a property in the wizarding world in the future, so why not in Hogsmeade?"

"Tsk...I always feel that I should invest in developing a piece of land myself, and then open a restaurant there."

A restaurant of his own can also have the function of attracting people to stay in the surrounding area, which is a development that Adam had never imagined.

"Ah? No! Rare Birds and Exotic Beasts has been open in Hogsmeade for so many years, it's very troublesome to move!"

Cologne held Adam's arm and refused to let go.

"Okay, okay, I've promised you. When the time comes, I'll invest in land and open branches, cinemas, theme parks, etc."

"Theme park? Cinema?"

Bernard's expression was subtle for a moment:

"You want to open a di..."

"Ahem! It's hard to say. It's hard to say. I plan to build a dessert park. It has nothing to do with that company!"

Adam coughed. Who knows if that company has a legal department in the wizarding world?

"In my imagination, there should be fountains spraying soda, waterfalls formed by chocolate, carousels made of various fruit candies, bumper cars made of soft candies, and castles that look like cakes and taste like cakes. The trees on both sides of the road are wafer biscuits of various flavors, covered with donuts, chocolate and toffee... I think many people should be interested."

"Hiss... like me."

"No, it's us."

Obviously, the paradise described by Adam is very attractive to everyone, but what comes next is Adam's cold water:

"But now the paradise is still a distant thing, so go to bed early, I'm still busy tomorrow..."

Although he said he was busy tomorrow, Adam still took three naps in a row and got up at noon.

Finally waking up, Adam turned into an Animagus form, used the cat's flexible body to stretch his waist, which would break the human form, and shook his fur before changing back to human form comfortably.

After picking up Xiao Ke and Si Bi and taking a deep breath, Adam turned over and got out of bed, full of energy again... er, half a day!

"Hmm... what time is it now?"

Cologne's muffled voice came from under the quilt.

"Let me see..."

Bernard stretched out his hand from under the quilt, and his white arm quickly got goose bumps in the cold air. After touching the pocket watch on the bedside, Bernard quickly grabbed the pocket watch and put it under the quilt.

"11:42... Dinner won't be until 5:30, it's still early, sleep a little longer..."

Adam, who was changing clothes by the fireplace, looked puzzled when he heard this, and turned back to look at the quilts on the other four beds:

"Are you planning to sleep until dinner?"

Cologne's quilt moved, but he didn't get up in the end:

"Well... What's the matter? Anyway, there are three days of vacation, and it's still in time to do homework on the last day."

"Anyway, there will be nothing delicious at noon, so it's better to save your stomach so that you can eat more at night."

Bernard quickly reached out and put the pocket watch back on the bedside, and then immediately retracted his hand into the quilt.

Uther pulled the quilt to expose his head, and felt the cold air with a head of half-long black hair that was messed up by sleep, and then retracted it again:

"Well... I don't want to get up in such a cold day, I'll do my homework after dinner at night."

"..."

Eugene's sleep quality is still so reassuring.

"Well, I was going to take you to the kitchen, and we'll try a few dishes from the dinner in advance for lunch, and try out some of my new side dishes..."

"Wait for me for two minutes!" x4

Adam: "???"

No, Eugene, when did you get up?

In any case, when Adam finally came to the kitchen, there were still five people following him...well, in addition to the four roommates, there was also Cedric who had been squatting at the kitchen door.

"I knew you would definitely get up at noon in this weather, and have lunch in the kitchen!"

Cedric looked as if I had expected it and was really smart:

"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared!"

"Okay, then Cedric, who is prepared, will sit at the Hufflepuff table with Uther and the others and wait for the dishes to be served. I'll say it first, keep your voices low while waiting for and eating, and don't make trouble."

Adam snapped his fingers and changed into a chef's uniform, picked up the knife and turned it around in his hand a few times, and looked at the five people with a sense of oppression.

It's... it's the pressure of the breeder!

Five badgers sat in a row beside the long table and nodded obediently.

The kitchen of Hogwarts is directly below the Great Hall, and the four long tables correspond to the four long tables in the Great Hall. Professor Dumbledore's magic is to summon the delicacies on the long table in the kitchen to the corresponding long table in the Great Hall directly above.

Uther and the others chose the seats they usually sat in the Great Hall, and then watched with admiration as Adam skillfully directed the group of house elves, assigned tasks to each of them, and made the entire kitchen start like a precision-operated machine.

While the house elves began to make preliminary preparations for the dinner, Adam took out the materials that he had prepared halfway last night and started processing them. After nearly half an hour, he walked towards them with pots, bowls, plates and kettles floating behind him.

"Professor Scamander said that he prefers vegetarian food and can't eat spicy food, so I specially prepared a few dishes for Professor Scamander for this dinner. Can you help me see if they suit his taste?"

A plate with white roses fell on the table first, and each rose had a different color of sauce on it.

"Colorful yam puree, I made four flavors of blueberry jam, cherry jam, raspberry jam and osmanthus honey, which can be regarded as appetizers or desserts. Which flavor do you like better?"

Everyone has become accustomed to the communal dining system under Adam's training, and even learned how to use chopsticks. With Adam's explanation, they have divided up those white and crystal "roses".

"Hmm! Delicious!"

"Really delicious!"

"Hmm~"

"Don't just sigh, which one is better?"

"..."

The five people looked at each other, tasted other flavors, and finally looked at Adam:

"They are all delicious!"

Then they couldn't help but look behind Adam...

"...Forget it, you are used to hard times, and you shouldn't have too much hope that you can give professional evaluations."

Looking at the empty plates and the five people whose minds have already flown to the other dishes behind him, Adam covered his face with his hand and waved his other hand to control the other dishes in the air to fall on the table:

"Winter bamboo shoots fried with black fungus, candied sweet potatoes, eggplant, four-happiness roasted gluten, shepherd's purse tofu soup, Dinghu Shangsu... and finally this boiled cabbage, etc.-"

"Hmm!" x5

Looking at the five people who couldn't even lift their heads and probably didn't even hear the names of the dishes, Adam couldn't help but feel itchy with his chopsticks clenched, and even wanted to give himself a buff of the upper layer of power, but finally sighed.

I was thinking that there were still a few pork elbows in the pot that had been stewed overnight and were already mushy, but now it seems that they have no appetite to eat them.
