Chapter 349 ~~ Announcement And Follow-up Plan
I have to admit that human adaptability is quite strong.
This applies equally to wizards and Muggles, and even more so for the students of Hogwarts who are at their peak level of curiosity and energy. The novelty and fun that outdoor agriculture at Hogwarts can offer them is no less than a brief excursion.
After a brief period of confusion, the young wizards from the four houses showed great adaptability, quickly adjusted their moods, and dedicated themselves to the management and discussion of their own garden.
As I witnessed the seeds I planted under magical catalysis, some shoots emerged from the ground. This sense of achievement and novelty soon made most of the wizards feel the same way. Even the Slytherin wizards, who were previously resistant, were not exceptions to agricultural activities. After all, they were just children under 17 years old.
Before evening, Dumbledore received feedback from the heads of the different houses that everything was going well.
And Elena, the Hogwarts chef, also received the planting list sent by the different houses from Dumbledore during the dinner of the same day. The types of kitchen materials are tailored for each house, making it a unique kitchen.
As for the feedback results...
If we summarize a bit with the most common expressions of later generations, it is more or less the following sub-sub.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Update Announcement (version 1.5):
[Update time] September 13, 1991
[Update method] Director Dumbledore, the four heads, and the specially invited consultant Elena, advance jointly manually.
[Update scope] Gryffindor House, Slytherin House, Hufflepuff House, Ravenclaw House
[Update content]
1. Hogwarts Happy Farm officially launched
We have better balanced the strength of each house and added unique playability to them.
a. Gryffindor House added "potato", "tuber" and "spud". Due to the same blessing of attributes, you will receive great benefits from planting potatoes. Planting potatoes around the Quidditch stadium will receive additional rest time. With reduced difficulty, the potato production in the region has increased considerably.
b. Slytherin House added rare plants such as "Durian", "Mustard", "Cilantro Yan (sui)", "Devil's Pepper", "Avocado", "Houttuynia", "Leek", since most of them are rare plants. Therefore, Slytherin House will temporarily lose the right to replace seeds this season.
c. Ravenclaw House added a garden branch model, removed some of the land used to grow wheat and lettuce, and increased the variety and quantity of fruits that can be grown in this house. Not only does it include "apple", "watermelon" and "banana", "strawberry", "pear", "grape", "blueberry", "orange" and "pineapple"... A total of fifteen types of fruits are included, and a fifth of the rare plant "bitter melon" is also planted.
d. Hufflepuff House continued to use the original garden during the version 1.0 period of Hogwarts. The types of plants have not changed, and the area has been slightly adjusted. Some areas have been transformed into new herb medicine greenhouses.
e. This update also added the mysterious area "Hogwarts Staff Garden", the specific content of which is unknown.
...
Hogwarts Audition Hall.
"It's really interesting... or rather, quite in line with the characteristics of the school?"
Elena looked at the plants finally determined by the different houses in her hand, while observing the environment with a very complicated look at the young wizards who were tired and excited after a long day in the garden. Of course, the students from the other three main houses.
Since today is the first day of the "version update," the kitchen has not had time to make adjustments according to the situation of each house, so tonight's dishes are still the same as always, the long counters of the four houses have exactly the same abundant dishes.
But from next Monday, the difference will start to show.
For Elena, turning these vegetables into delicious dishes is not too difficult.
Whether it's partially rare vegetables like coriander and cilantro Yan, or tropical fruits like durian and pineapple, as long as the direction and appearance of the final dish are known, the desire to present delicious and tasty dishes is actually entirely determined by Irene Na's thoughts.
As an experienced epicurean, in the face of this group of British young wizards with scant knowledge, she only needs to dedicate some thoughts to the dishes, not to mention the "dark plants" of Slytherin House, even if it's just potatoes, she can make the teachers and students of Hogwarts eat to their hearts' content.
You know, the biggest pitfall in Hogwarts agriculture is not the plant list, but that the dishes into which all the plants finally turn are decided by Elena.
The same goes for the potatoes - beef stew with potatoes and white potatoes soaked in salt can be very different. In other words, the final interpretation of this activity belongs to Elena Caslana.
And even if we take a step back and say that some children really are not accustomed to eating certain vegetables, it doesn't matter too much.
Although Elena admits that she has given a slightly kind hint in the list, as a kind witch, she also left a flour guarantee for each house.
Pasta can be said to be one of the richest raw materials in the world that has been changed and derived. As long as there is flour, Elena will be able to infinitely enrich and improve the food quality of Hogwarts Castle if she wants to pass on a bit of deterioration.
"However, something similar to this high-level culinary achievement, wouldn't it be more appropriate to include it in the reward mechanism?"
Elena cut a piece of meat and brought it to her mouth, observed the carefree smiles on the faces of the students around her, blinked thoughtfully, secretly pondered.
People always do not value achievements that have not been obtained through their own efforts.
If basic safeguards are too well done in advance, it will not only be unhelpful in stimulating the subjective initiative of young wizards, but it will also be easy to make the content of the subsequent "version" update weak and empty.
If you think about it this way, for creative and magical pastries such as buns, flower rolls, fritters, purees, cookies, dumplings, and muffins, the best way is to wait for these little ones to fall into the abyss of despair, imitating the golden games of the later generations of Krypton. Similar to the letter activity in the past, a new variety is launched each time to stimulate.
As for the cost... Jin Jialong did not do it, and can participate in various activities and give away drops of liver.
"Are you thinking of some naughty idea again, Elena?"
As if sensing something, Hermione, who was sitting next to the little girl with silver hair, turned her head to look at Elena's little hair bouncing with excitement, and there was a hint of concern in her brown eyes.
"No, just..."
Elena, who was planning the evil plan, recovered and waved her hand without hesitation, quickly denying it.
"Just?"
Hermione raised her eyebrows, set aside the knife, and turned to look into Elena's eyes silently.
Since she saw the parchment in Elena's hands, which recorded the planting plans of various universities, she knew that in the whole "cultivation" matter, this little white-haired bun definitely played as important a role as the deans. Since she had decided to follow Elena for eating and drinking, she didn't care too much.
"Uh..."
Elena blinked, and after searching for a moment, looked around, and suddenly reached out to hug Hannah, who was seriously eating roasted chicken legs, and said seriously.
"That... I want to wait for Quidditch training. Don't believe me, ask Hannah, she must also be nervous. Look, it's already the fifth chicken leg she's eaten today, compared to her usual amount of food, it has almost tripled, and she's not even afraid of gaining weight."
"Huh? Huh?"
