Chapter 77 Happy New Year

The Christmas holiday is short after all. It's just over a week before everyone has to go back to Hogwarts to continue their studies for the second half of the school year.

However, they never felt disappointed for the past holiday. What the Badgers are looking forward to is the one extra festival they have this year compared to other colleges - Food Festival (crossed out) Chinese New Year!

Last year, at everyone's strong request, Adam promised to celebrate the New Year with everyone this year. For this reason, he specially applied to Professor Sprout for four underground classrooms and the middle corridor as the venue for activities. After Professor Sprout approved the note, she said that she would also come to join in the fun.

Although it is the New Year, in fact, there have been activities since the twelfth lunar month. One silver coin can enter the venue. You can eat all the food that is not specially specified in the venue. The main focus is on a lively atmosphere. There are also various small activities such as hooping and pitching pots in the venue. There are extra snacks and prizes. It's free, but the number of times per person is limited, and cheating with magic is not allowed.

"This is a Hufflepuff event. Why are you two here too?"

Bernard was surprised to find the Weasley twins in a corner of the venue.

"We were specially invited by Adam!"

"Because our invention fits the festive atmosphere very well-"

"Would you like a beautiful and safe crackling firework?"

"Everyone gets half price for the first one they buy, and 20% off for the second one~"

The Weasley twins introduced their products in unison.

"Well, forget it. It's such a good day..." Why are you trying to make things difficult for yourself?

"This time is different. We swear on our lives-these fireworks are normal holiday items!"

"If it explodes this time and turns out to be a prank toy, you can report it to Adam and let him throw us into the pot with the mandrake!"

Hiss-what a vicious oath, Bernard must be tempted.

"Give me two!"

"Thank you for your patronage!"

"What color do you want?"

Apart from the twins who are doing a booming business, Adam's side is also very lively.

"Adam, Adam, is this the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Ernie held the deluxe Laba porridge with nuts that he had just caught. Although it tasted good, it seemed to be different from what he said last year...

"It's Laba now and we eat Laba porridge. There's also the Little New Year's Day to worship the Kitchen God and eat Kitchen candy. Finally, it's the New Year's Eve dinner. There's also the Lantern Festival and Glutinous Rice Balls on the Lantern Festival. Don't be in a hurry."

"Gudong——"

The sound of swallowing saliva came from all around. The badgers were happy that there were still many delicious foods waiting for them, but they found helplessly that it would take many days to eat them. I really hope time can pass quickly...

In addition to these regular activities that can be participated in with one silver Sickle, there are also extra rewards for participating in some special activities on New Year's Eve, but this requires certain preparation, so Adam has announced it in advance.

Now Cedric has started to learn lion dance for the egg yolk crispy stuffed lion crispy of that year, vowing to win the first place. He is currently pulling his roommate to rehearse every day.

The two-meter-high oriental dragon made of maltose also attracted a large number of badgers who wanted to do a dragon dance. Unfortunately, Adam dismissed most of the dragon dance teams after seeing it, because the western dragon was not included in the competition results.

In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the badgers, Adam specially prepared a super variety of candies on the day of worshiping the Kitchen God, including round sugar melons, slender and hollow Guandong candies, short and thick mouse tails, peanuts wrapped in white sugar frosting, peanut crisps, sesame crisps... There are only seven or eight ingredients, but due to various methods and shapes, dozens of combinations have been made, which come together to form a sweet ocean.

After worshiping the Kitchen God, the badgers can run to the candy ocean and scoop up whatever they like. I don’t know if the Kitchen God will be surprised this year why there are a group of foreign children among the people worshiping him.

"In Chinese legends, the Kitchen God will report to the gods in heaven every year what bad things the family has done in the past year, so everyone should make sticky and sweet candies to stick the Kitchen God's mouth to prevent him from reporting~"

In addition to tasting the food, Adam also popularized Chinese mythology for everyone. Of course, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard it, these badgers will regret it during the Lantern Festival~

In a lively atmosphere, New Year's Eve is finally coming. As a result, on the day before New Year's Eve, Professor Dumbledore came to Adam with a bitter face.

"Uh... other colleges are also participating?"

Adam was speechless for a while. What is cultural output? In this era, he is probably the first person to export Chinese culture, directly affecting the next generation of the British wizarding world.

"But I'm not prepared, otherwise... wait until next year?"

"Well, I'm actually under a lot of pressure here. Otherwise, make some candies to appease them?"

Professor Dumbledore said, while glancing in the direction of the sweet fragrance.

e……

Professor, to be honest, you are the one who wants to eat some candy, right?

Adam hesitated:

"But, everyone contributed to the layout of the venue before, and this time it is mainly to give back to everyone's unremitting support, so it is so cheap, and now suddenly other colleges are also joining in..."

Professor Dumbledore did not speak, but silently raised his fingers to wipe the corners of his eyes, and a little bit of wiping finally squeezed out a few tears.

"Hiss-forget it, but if everyone insists on asking..."

Adam's eyes suddenly lit up:

"It's not impossible at all!"

…

"I announce that the first Hogwarts Spring Festival Gala has officially begun!"

Professor Dumbledore, wearing a bright red robe, stood in front of the auditorium with his hands raised and said happily.

A burst of warm applause suddenly erupted in the auditorium.

"Ahem——"

Professor Dumbledore took out a red program sheet from his pocket and cleared his throat:

"So, for the first show, the Slytherin team, led by Draco Malfoy, give us a... um... catwalk performance?"

Professor Dumbledore blinked.

“Why was our show changed?!”

Draco was semi-forced to put on a Tang suit backstage, and his fair face paired with a silver outfit was really flattering.

"Your original program was canceled, such as "My School Director Father"... This kind of program must not appear at the party!"

Adam held the menu in his hand and slapped Draco on the head:

"Okay, hurry up and take your teammates with you."

"snort!"

Draco snorted coldly, turned around and called Crabbe and Goyle to leave. If it weren't for the fact that his clothes looked pretty...

Although Crabbe and Goyle were not as attractive in appearance as Draco, their festive outfits still looked slutty, and they made Draco even more outstanding.

Hmm, I feel like this outfit could be a big seller...

Looking at Draco's back, Adam touched his chin and felt like he had found a new business opportunity.
