Chapter 233 Egg And Love

Eggs are probably one of the oldest foods in human history.

To be precise, the oviparous animal that sits at the forefront of the biological evolution chain has always held a rather high position in the food chain; almost all carnivorous creatures will include a variety of eggs in their recipes.

After all, as a food, the greatest advantage of eggs is that they have no legs, fins, or wings. They don't run around. Predators don't have to risk their lives to hunt and catch them.

Not to mention, from the perspective of conservation or nutritional value, eggs are superior to vegetables and most meats by more than a degree. It is not difficult to understand why people often say that all the eggs in the world are nature's most perfect gift.

"... A beautiful day naturally needs to start with a good breakfast. And a good breakfast, the simplest nutritional setting, is hot and delicious boiled eggs."

In the empty common room of Hufflepuff, Elena crouched patiently in front of the fireplace, moistened her lips gently, her eyes whispering with passion.

In the girl's clear blue eyes, the liquid surface of the crucible rolling over the flames and the three or four snake eggs, similar to magma, under the liquid surface, are magnificent and poignant like red jade.

When the two "Potion Thieves" returned home laden with goods, Elena encountered an embarrassing problem: all her condiments and kitchen utensils had fallen in the upper room of Gryffindor in the dorm of many girls, so there was no way to cook more complicated breakfasts today, even if the crucible used for cooking eggs was temporarily borrowed from the small Hannah.

Fortunately, Hannah, who had never eaten potions, was not dissatisfied with this small regret. At that moment, she also imitated Elena's appearance and cleverly crouched in front of the fireplace with her knees, quietly waiting for the gray snake eggs to be cooked.

"But ... Elena."

Hannah blinked and looked at the crucibles, which looked more like red jewel snake eggs than food, with a hint of hesitation and curiosity in her tone.

"Although I have eaten many hard-boiled eggs, are you sure that these [fire ash snake eggs] are eaten like this, is it really okay? I just looked at "Magic Potion and Potion", and there is no mention of these potion materials."

"There is absolutely no problem."

Elena smiled confidently and answered without hesitation.

As a qualified food lover, the most important thing is not the courage to dare to speak about anything, but the rich reserve of knowledge and powerful survival skills; only then can one stand at the top of the food chain and neatly incorporate the entire biosphere into one's own recipe.

As for the brave existence of those who dare to enter the mouth, they have either evolved a cruel physiognomy that can digest uneven bars, or have disappeared forever into the family tree of food lovers.

"If you carefully read all the important books of our semester, you will discover that although [fire ash snake eggs] are not mentioned in the "Magic Potion and Potion" potion lesson, in the Newt's. We can find the corresponding information in the record "The Fire Ash Snake" in "Where are the Magical Creatures" by Mr. Scamander."

As she spoke of her favorite potions and magical animals, Elena's tone grew increasingly cheerful, and the little hair on her head playfully wagged, like the tail of an excited little elk.

"When a lot of magical fire (any fire with added magical substances, like flying powder, etc.) burns out of control for too long, the fire ash snake is created. It's a red light snake that flashes in the eyes. It has a lifespan of only an hour. In this hour, it finds a dark and hidden place to lay eggs, then the body will fragment and turn into dust. If people don't find these eggs in time, and freeze them with the right spell, they will cause a fire in a few minutes; of course, since Mr. Newt discovered this rule, most fire ash snake eggs are artificial."

"And the most important point is that frozen fire ash snake eggs can be used to make potions, such as love potions. If "fire ash snake eggs" are swallowed whole, they can be used to treat fever (malaria). This means that we can draw two conclusions: fire ash snake eggs can be boiled directly without toxic or magical effects harmful to the human body. "

As she spoke, there was a rare look of admiration in Elena's eyes. She had the chance to visit this legendary master of magical zoology and, if she wanted, Professor Dumbledore would be delighted to give her a recommendation.

However, Newt Scamander's strength is not weak, even without the help of those animals, at least he is the second most important wizard behind Grindelwald and Dumbledore, so she must refrain from upsetting the baby at Mr. Newt's home, or else she would be thrown out of the suitcase on the first day.

"But, this is a snake egg, and there is... a snake..."

Compared to the hair buns about to slip off's white hair, the expression of the little tangled blonde Lori Hannah is notably more tangled, not to mention the snake eggs. Before this, she hadn't even eaten snake meat. Hannah feels uncomfortable with the greasy cold-blooded reptiles all over.

Looking at the little tangled and blonde girl, Elena couldn't help but reach out and caress Hannah's chubby cheek, laughing.

"Don't worry, from a nutritional point of view, the composition of eggs is basically the same, mainly proteins, fats, etc. Except that they don't have egg yolk, they are actually similar to eggs; in a sense, because there is no fishy taste of yolk, I think the flavor is actually more delicious. Not to mention, from a scientific perspective of diet, the nutrient absorption of snake eggs is much higher than that of other eggs, and is more easily absorbed by the body."

"Protein? Fat? I see."

Hannah inexplicably nodded, quickly concealing the confusion on her face.

Evidently, Elena is discussing some non-magical world knowledge. Every time she faces this, she will be excluded from the topic by Granger. Hannah has decided that before the next vacation, she must learn more about the non-magical world to not appear foolish.

"What do you know...silly little girl? This knowledge cannot even be known by Hermione."

Looking at the little Hannah, Elena shook her head unaware of the girl's thoughts, and with a silly smile, skillfully used her magic wand to retrieve the eggs from the ashes in the crucible and place them in cold water.

In comparison to the calcified eggshells of poultry, snake eggs have the advantage that even the "shell" part is actually edible and digestible, as the shell is essentially a gel layer. Therefore, it can be eaten as soon as it cools a bit, and the shell-peeling process can be omitted.

"You are you, you never have to imitate others."

Elena extended her finger and caressed Hannah's little nose, picked up a fluffy snake egg and blew gently before offering it.

"Don't forget you said you would like to stay with me in your capricious life, come, ah..."

It is enough to have an intelligent and renowned "miss teacher." Everyone has their own unique point. If it were Hermione, it would be absolutely impossible to play without any imprudence.

Of course, on the other hand, the only one who can accompany her to tirelessly ascend in the world of knowledge is Hermione Granger, who enjoys learning as a pleasure.

As Hannah swallowed and chewed the snake egg, Elena secretly tucked an ash-boiled snake egg into the pocket of her robe.

According to legend, the magic of love is nurtured in the ash-boiled snake egg, and if you eat it, you can obtain beautiful love; therefore, Elena specially prepared the ash-boiled snake egg in three equal parts.

Only children ask multiple-choice questions. She, Elena Kaslana, of course, all!
