Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue Chapter 845

　　 "So, Professor, shall I continue to explain the follow-up knowledge of potion materials?"

　　 Elena blinked, and asked sweetly.

　　 "Oh, oh, of course, Miss Kaslana." Slughorn said cheerfully.

　　 I don't know that the old walrus who has been written on the list by the three generations of the Black Demon King blinked, and gave Elena an appreciative look, indicating that the girl would continue to help him popularize potion knowledge according to the previous progress.

　　 With several questions and answers in the classroom, the interest of the students has been completely mobilized.

　　 After being aware of Hermione's challenge, Elena also added another thought to the follow-up description. She did not choose to go deeper in the field of potions, but moved to a more familiar aspect of biology.

　　As the third generation of Meguro Demon, Elena will not be negligent in this "100 times" bet.

　　 Wait until Gringotts sends over the extrcurricular book list purchased by Hermione during the summer vacation tomorrow morning. After she finds time to study and study, she will counterattack and design traps. This is a fair and fair contest.

　　 "Well, next I will focus on the dangers of pufferfish and bats..."

　　 Elena cleared her throat, took out her magic wand and knocked on the blackboard.

"In addition to swelling itself to deter enemies when faced with danger, the pufferfish is actually the most dangerous place it may carry the toxin-tetrodotoxin, which is one of the most toxic neurotoxins found in the non-magical world. , It was even the most toxic active toxin in nature in the eyes of Muggles."

"Only 0.48 milligrams of tetrodotoxin can easily take a person's life. If someone in this room licks these puffer fish eyes curiously, or does not wear gloves as in the operating procedures, as long as the luck is a little bit more accidental. With a little bit of poison in it, there may be someone here who will leave us forever tomorrow..."

　　 Elena glanced slowly across the classroom, and said calmly.

Her voice was only slightly higher than a whisper, but everyone heard every word she said, as if a small Professor Snape suddenly appeared in the classroom, and the underground classroom instantly became orderly. Ordered up.

　　 Toxic? !

　　 Will you die if you touch it a little bit? !

Most of the little wizards moved back subconsciously, trying to stay away from the eyes of the pufferfish that exuded a "virulent" aura. Because of the "Big Herring Campaign" that took place last semester, Hogwar The students of Ci could already deal with dead fish calmly. If it weren't for Elena's remarks, there might be many children who would get started directly.

　　 And the face of a reckless little boy such as Michael Kona turned pale.

Just to save trouble, they directly grabbed the puffer fish with their eyes and threw them into the grinding dish. Now with Elena's cold explanation, Michael only felt that his hands were hot, as if it was covered with hot chili sauce. .

　　 It's so uncomfortable... These bear kids at Hogwarts...

　　 Elena glanced at the few little wizards who were secretly putting on their gloves, and shook her head helplessly in her heart.

Only if you have actually been a professor of potions class—well, although you are a teaching assistant—can you understand that Severus Snape's stress and irritability in each previous class are different from the methods used in other classroom spells. There are too many, if you don't pay attention to just a slight wound, it is possible to let these little guys go to see Merlin directly.

　　 Tetrodotoxin is a very toxic marine biological active substance.

　　 tetrodotoxins include tetrodoxin, tetrodotoxin, tetrodotoxin and puffer liver toxin. It is one of the most severe toxins in nature. Its toxicity is equivalent to 1250 times that of potassium cyanide and can cause central nervous system anesthesia in a short time.

　　If people handle the puffer fish improperly or eat it by mistake, it will cause poisoning and even death.

And this is only the potion materials involved in the elementary potions class. In the teaching of Hogwarts seniors, as the potion materials begin to gradually appear more and more "magic materials", the danger is also doubled. rise.

　　As a young wizard with a tenure of less than ten years, Snape had too much to worry about in potions class.

Fortunately, at least in this world today, there will not be a second batch of super invincible bear children like the "iron triangle". In order to steal the potion materials, they will throw them into the cauldron of others in the potion class. Fireworks.

　　 If I think about it this way, she is really a great and kind little angel.

If it is not because there is no way to claim credit, and only by easing the relationship between Harry and Snape, Elena feels that she can find Severus Snape to receive massive academy points, and even Shenfeng Wuying and other demons. How to release the curse.

　　“However, the chemical and thermal properties of the pufferfish toxin are very stable. Although common cooking methods such as salting or sun exposure cannot destroy it, if it is heated in a high temperature environment for more than 30 minutes, the toxin can usually be decomposed..."

　　 The kind little angel paused for a few seconds and waited patiently for Hermione to finish writing down the notes and continue to speak.

“So if you don't want to die by accident, it's best to strictly follow the process described in the textbook. Put the mixture of puffer fish eyes and nettle in the crucible and cook it at high temperature for at least 45-60 minutes before proceeding-and In the process, even if you are thirsty, you must not pay attention to the hot soup in front of you."

　　Perhaps in the magic world, wizards have not done so deeply in the microscopic field, but this does not mean ignorance.

　　 As supernatural beings who control magical powers, wizards have much easier trial and error than Muggles.

If you cook for one hour to reduce the toxicity, then two hours, if two hours does not work, then six hours... Anyway, as long as you always pay attention to detoxification and take countermeasures in advance, even one person can do it by tasting. The potion is summarized.

　　 If it doesn't work no matter how you try, then add new materials or make adjustments with magic.

　　The progress of potions is slow, but this does not mean that people cannot use the dumb method of repeated experiments to generalize the answer.

Even the most basic potion such as swelling potion, the control of time and temperature is undoubtedly the final preparation process that has passed through generations of potion masters, and spent countless hours, a little bit of groping and determination. .

　　 "Not bad at all!"

　　 Slughorn nodded, cleared his throat, and added his fingers seriously.

"Time and temperature, please pay attention to these two points! Unless you don't think you have surpassed all potion masters, don't take any shortcuts in this regard. And more importantly, it is your handling of potions. The former determines the quality of the final potion you produce, while the latter is related to whether you can safely complete the entire potion brewing process."

　　 "But, Professor..."

　　 At that moment, a Hufflepuff boy with curly hair suddenly raised his hand.

"I have eaten puffer fish with my mother many times before, um...in the non-magical world. If this puffer fish is really as dangerous as you and Elina said, why are there so many people outside eating? ?"

　　 "Huh? Have you eaten puffer fish? Sorry, gentleman, what's your name?"

　　 Slughorn raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the strange little wizard indifferently.

Although he does not discriminate against the hemp wizards from the non-magical world, Slughorn still has some extremely subtle superiority and helplessness whenever he encounters such a little guy who uses Muggle knowledge to question the knowledge of magic. .

　　 "Justin, my name is Justin Finley, professor."

Justin replied quickly, looking at Slughorn generously and saying, "I come from the non-magical world. Although my parents don't know how to do magic, the family lives pretty well. Sometimes they go to banquets or entertainment. , Will also take me there. In my impression, although puffer fish is not often eaten, we should have eaten it several times."

　　 "It's not surprising that Muggles are always eager for the enjoyment in front of them, and cannot see the hidden dangers."

　　 Slughuo frowned slightly, and replied casually, a little impatiently.

"Well, Mr. Finley, if you learn more about the puffer fish, this potion material, you will understand that toxins may appear in all parts of its body. This is the experience summed up by countless potion masters after trying. ...Don't you think that Muggles know how to deal with these poisonous creatures better than wizards?"

　　 "But we..."

　　 "That can only mean that you are very lucky and did not encounter those toxins."

　　Horace Slughorn waved his hand impatiently, and interrupted Justin Finley somewhat severely.

"You are now a wizard, sir-if you are still planning to argue with me based on Muggle knowledge, I suggest you think carefully about why you chose to study magic at Hogwarts instead of continuing in the Muggle world. go to school."

　　 Strictly speaking, Slughorn does not discriminate against wizards who were born in Muggles.

　　 In his eyes, students can be roughly divided into three types: talented and talented tomorrow stars; elders in the family who are still alive, who have celebrities worth making friends with; and...other ordinary students.

　　 There is no doubt that Elena clearly belongs to the top two overlapping items of the first two.

　　 Although Harry Potter has the aura of "a child who lives in catastrophe", due to the orphan factor, his score in the heart of the old walrus is slightly reduced. However, judging from the current performance of young Harry, if he inherited her mother's magical talents, he could also be ranked first in the "small list" of Horace Slughorn.

　　 Other than that, the little guy from Malfoy's is not bad.

　　Although the old Malfoy, Draco's grandfather, Abraxus Malfoy unfortunately died of dragon plague syphilis, the entire Malfoy family was once a little embarrassed in the family of pure blood wizards. But over the years, under the movement of Lucius Malfoy, he gradually regained a certain voice in the magic world.

　　 I heard that just some time ago, Lucius Malfoy even successfully joined the Hogwarts school board.

　　 As for this Mr. Justin Finley...

　　 Horace Slughorn glanced casually at the parchment under the lesson plan.

　　 That's the final exam results of the Hogwarts freshmen last year that he finally wanted to get, and Justin Finley barely ranked in the top 20, a not bad area.

Considering that this little wizard comes from the non-magical world, of course, he should be regarded as other ordinary students-and it is still the kind that ranks low among ordinary students. After all, this little guy just stupidly contradicted him. .

　　 "Mr. Finley, I suggest you don't play such cleverness in the future, and don't try to find shortcuts in the nonmagical world."

　　 Slughorn raised his fingers, looked down at the little boy, and said in a deep voice.

"Regarding the handling of pufferfish-related potion materials, the magical world has long had a complete set of procedures. Unfortunately, due to the lack of corresponding materials in the classroom, I can't demonstrate to everyone, but you can check the materials in the library-you will question later. Before asking questions, it's best to study Miss Granger, at least from magic books, not Muggle knowledge."

　　 "Sorry, Professor, I will pay attention later."

　　 Justin Finley's face flushed a little, he glanced helplessly at the silent companions around him, and sat back in disbelief.

　　 Whether in the non-magical or magical world, students can always clearly feel the attitude of the professors.

After clearly perceiving the impatience in Slughorn's tone, even the little wizards who had a better relationship with Justin Finley in the past did not help to refute at this time, and there was a low voice in the classroom. The laughter.

　　 What a...so realistic social man, Professor Slughorn.

　　 Elena raised her eyebrows, and looked at the old wizard who was quite different.

　　Different from the students who didn't know Slughorn yet, she really knew Slughorn's character too well.

When the old wizard was in the original book, he treated it differently in this way without concealment-although Horace Slughorn did not have any malice, whether it was in student education or in terms of right and wrong. problem.

　　 But in Elena's view, this kind of over-snobbery division makes people feel so unpleasant after all.

Not to mention, if the family background alone is discussed, Justin Finley, who almost entered Eton Middle School, is one of the few "true nobles" in Hogwarts. This is also what Elena remembers this little transparency. One of the reasons.

　　 Although under normal circumstances, the power and status of the non-magical world does not have much meaning in the magical world.

But when the accumulation and duration of a family is long enough, especially when the two worlds begin to show signs of fusion with each other, the "noble" class similar to Finley is particularly important-just in During the summer vacation that just ended, some of the Finley family's properties have appeared on Gringotts' attention list one after another.

　　 When the time is right, they will serve as the first bridges to connect the two worlds.

　　In this process, the attitude and position of little wizards like Justin Finley may not become the key point of leading the world's transformation, but it is not completely insignificant. More importantly...

　　 Elena took a deep look at Horace Slughorn, her mouth slightly raised.

　　 Times have changed, Professor.

　　 "Actually, I can help answer Justin's question, professor."

Justin Finley lowered his head in a weird manner, looking at the textbook in front of him, awkwardly avoiding the sight and low laughter of the surrounding students, suddenly a few words came from the desk in front of the classroom, just like angel singing. the sound of.

　　 "The non-magical world's research on the toxicity of pufferfish is not much behind the magical world. To be more accurate, they are even slightly ahead of our current textbooks in the study of the risk and toxicity distribution of tetrodotoxin."

　　 Sister Elena? !

　　 Justin Finley raised his head quickly and looked forward to the front of the classroom expectantly.

　　 I saw Elena drew out her wand and waved it gently on the edge of the blackboard.

　　 The next moment, a picture of a puffer fish appeared in front of everyone. Accompanied by the sound of Elena's explanation, it gradually changed and decomposed on the blackboard, disassembled into parts, and a series of text explanations were adorned beside the decomposition diagram.

　　 "According to the latest research in the non-magical world, the toxicity distribution of puffer fish is mainly composed of the following five characteristics..."

"First of all, there are differences in the amount of toxins in fish in different parts. Generally speaking, pufferfish have the most toxins in the ovary, followed by the liver. The blood, eyes, gills, and skin contain a small amount. The muscles actually contain no tetrodotoxin. After the puffer fish dies, the toxins in the internal organs may penetrate into the muscles, resulting in occasional toxins in the muscles..."

　　 Elena paused for a while, and looked at Horace Slughorn for a while with interest.

Unlike Justin's impatience when she was talking before, the potions professor did not interrupt her, but looked at her approvingly while watching the girl carefully using magic on the potions blackboard. Drawn on the blackboard.

　　 This is really a different treatment!

　　As a vested interest of all evil, Elena curled her lips with a complicated expression.

However, one thing is certain is that compared to Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn is obviously more tolerant of talented students, but not so much for the Potions class itself. Obsession, in this case...

　　 "In addition, the puffer fish meat is delicious, tender and without thorns, and has a high protein content."

　　 Elena was certain, the wand in her hand turned, and she continued solemnly.

　　 "As a top seafood with richer nutritional value than other fishes, mastering its toxicity treatment methods and simple cooking precautions can be said to be quite meaningful for understanding and exerting the value of puffer fish."

Ok?

　　 Hmm?

　　 Horace Slughorn blinked in confusion.

　　 How does he feel that there seems to be something wrong with what the little witch said just now.

　　 However, before he realized what was wrong, Elena started to introduce her with excitement.

　　 "Generally speaking, fish are freshest within 4--5 hours after death, after which the meat will become stiff and affect the taste."

　　 "The puffer fish is different. It has a firm flesh, and the meat will soften only 24 to 36 hours after death. This time is the best to eat, and the taste is the smoothest. Now everyone can feel it first..."

Uh?

Feel it?

　　What do you mean... feel it?

　　Professor Slughorn had not had time to ask, and the next moment, mist suddenly rose in the potions classroom.

Along with a series of faint magical fluctuations, on every desk in the underground classroom, two large golden dinner plates appeared almost at the same time, and in the center of the golden dinner plate was a cup of snow exuding a seductive fragrance. White puree.

　　 Similarly, at Slughorn's desk, a set of exactly the same golden dinner plates appeared at the same time.

what is this……

　　 Slughorn raised his eyebrows, and took a close look at the delicate little bowl.

In the white milky soup, there are a few crystal clear pieces of fish floating, and the rich fish soup has a faint fragrance of milk and beef. The small bowl is shaken a little, and the gel-like thick soup makes people feel Can't help swallowing.

　　 "It's just a very simple white puffer fish soup. The Hogwarts kitchen starts to boil it in the morning."

　　 Elena waved her hand quite casually, and sniffed the soup bowl in her hand with satisfaction.

Sure enough, she deliberately spent time and effort to purchase a batch of puffer fish, and asked Guidro Lockhart to lead a group of non-magical chefs to help guide them. This fresh and mellow fish soup aroma is really the best in the morning. Delicious soup.

　　 Of course, the reason for the purchase of this batch is not to eat fugu.

　　As the dean of Hogwarts, Elena was originally responsible for the procurement of teaching materials at Hogwarts.

　　 In the potions class, many potions will use various parts of the puffer fish. Taking into account the cost accounting issues, it is obviously reasonable to purchase a batch of puffer fish directly from the non-magical professional farms.

"In order to enhance the umami taste, I asked the elf in the kitchen to add a small amount of butter and milk to it. In addition to a little white pepper and salt, there is no additional addition, the most authentic puffer fish soup. ."

　　 The magic wand in Elena's hand flicked slightly, and the blackboard writing on the classroom blackboard changed again.

　　 The main body of the puffer fish at the corner quickly grew larger and cut into pieces, and then a series of auxiliary materials appeared around, as well as cutting, manipulation, and cooking techniques, which echoed the process of boiling the swelling medicine on the other side of the blackboard.

　　 "Wait, this, I mean, this soup-Hogwarts kitchen?"

　　 Slughorn held the steaming bowl of puffer fish soup in his hands, a little confused for a while.

　　 "Oh, I forgot to introduce it. I'm the chef of Hogwarts Kitchen, Professor."

　　 Elena blinked her eyes suddenly, blew the hot soup in her hand, and explained briskly.

"Don't worry, this is a new tradition of Hogwarts Potions. Whenever new potions materials are involved in teaching, Hogwarts Kitchen will be under the guidance of the potions professor. UU Read www.uukanshu .com launches corresponding or similar dishes."

　　 "This is mainly to strengthen everyone's understanding of the potion materials... Professor Dumbledore also agreed."

　　 Elena said while raising the soup bowl in her hand, taking a sip.

"Professor, please drink while it's hot. This is Hogwarts's characteristic-there is still about 20 minutes before the second reaction time of the swelling potion. When you finish drinking the fish soup, you can also take everyone Let's deal with the puffer fish together."

　　 "How to deal with...pufferfish?"

　　 Slughorn's smile froze slightly, and he repeated politely.

　　 "That's right, didn't you just say that wizards know how to deal with puffer fish better than Muggles, but they are limited in the lack of objects for demonstration and learning in the classroom, so everyone can only read the books after class to understand?"

　　 Elena blinked mischievously at Justin Finley, who was not far away, and immediately raised her head to look at the old wizard.

　　 "It just so happens that there happens to be a batch of untreated puffer fish in the Hogwarts kitchen..."

　　 As the girl's voice fell, a big box suddenly appeared in the open space at the front of the classroom.

　　 Inside the box, it was full of puffer fish that had been euthanized by magic. Dozens of sluggish fish eyes looked at Slughorn dumbly, and the same dull old walrus's expression reflected in the dull fish eyes.

　　 woo woo, the network card is stuck, it almost didn't come out, panicked and panicked

　　 I wanted to divide it into two chapters and leave some updated manuscripts for tomorrow, but it was too late to separate. . I can only send it out in one breath. . .

　　 sigh
