Chapter 2317 Fantastic Beasts Cooking Class(1/2)
For a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Only those fat Scottish chickens with round faces who didn't know what was going to happen still twisted their heads and made confused "coo" sounds.
Finally, Hermione raised her hand hesitantly.
"Teacher Ai Li, I remember we were taking the Care of Magical Creatures class?"
Hermione deliberately emphasized the word "protect", but Ellie was not moved at all.
"To me, animals that have no food value have no conservation value. As the saying goes, food is the first priority for the people. Nothing is more important than eating. Okay, what we have to learn next is the first lesson...
…”
As she spoke, Ellie snapped her fingers, and soon a fat Scottish round-faced chicken was pulled out, staring innocently at the students in front of her with her big eyes.
"Scottish round-faced chicken is a very delicious ingredient. Its meat is delicious and firm..."
She just said it was the ingredients, it was the ingredients!
The students communicated with each other and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak. Ellie also taught Defense Against the Dark Arts for two years at Hogwarts, and she has a lot of authority. These students are not just newbies, so they naturally don't have any brains.
He came out looking for trouble when he was lame.
Next, Ellie gave the students a good lesson on China. She spent ten minutes talking about the history and origin of Scottish round-faced chicken, and then most importantly, how to cook them...
"The first thing we have to do is kill it and then bleed it."
As she spoke, Ellie walked over, then picked up a knife and slashed the neck of the Scottish round-faced chicken. The next moment, blood spurted out. And she just held the Scottish round-faced chicken upside down.
, allowing its blood to spurt out from the gap in its neck and drip into the bucket below.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but let out a low cry, some with weak psychological endurance turned their heads directly, and Hermione even closed her eyes.
"God, teacher, this is so cruel!"
"cruel?"
Hearing this, Ellie stared at Hermione coldly.
"Miss Granger, humans have evolved to this point and are able to stand out from many species because they learned to eat meat - don't you really think that everyone can just wave a magic wand and then eat everything in front of them?"
The turkey has become a ham. It is the law of nature that the weak eat the strong. I originally thought you would understand this...but since you don't understand, I will let you experience it for yourself."
After saying this, Ellie made a gesture to Hermione.
"Come out and hold this fat chicken for me."
"…………………yes."
Although Hermione was deeply unwilling, under Ellie's gaze, she reluctantly walked out of the crowd, and then grabbed the feet of the Scottish round-faced chubby chicken. She could even feel the
The fat Scottish cock with a round face struggled in her hands. For a moment, Hermione really wanted to let it go...but Ellie's eyes seemed to have some kind of magic, prompting her to obediently grab the one in front of her.
Fat chicken.
"Okay, I know you're not used to it, but everyone is here. In fact, most of your grandparents should have done similar things in your generation. Cooking ingredients is not as simple as you think...
...Well, first of all, you must remember that you must make sure the blood is drained cleanly, so as to ensure the freshness of the ingredients and remove the fishy smell..."
Having said this, Ai Li picked up the wand again and flicked it, and then a pot of steaming boiling water appeared in front of everyone.
"Then what we have to do is remove the hair and put it into this pot of hot water. Miss Granger, remember to be careful not to burn yourself."
"………………"
"Next, cut open its body and take out the internal organs. The Scottish round-faced fat chicken is full of treasures, but some of them are inedible. But today we only care about the surface... You see,
Its meat is delicate, delicious, and very firm due to long-term exercise..."
"………………"
"Scottish round-faced chicken can be fried, stir-fried and stewed, and can also be used to make various dishes. We need to put ginger slices and green onions in the pot to remove the fishy smell and season it, even if nothing is added next,
It’s just that eating it this way has a different flavor..."
"………………"
Hermione then remained as motionless as a wooden person, only occasionally handling the fat Scottish round-faced chicken in her hand according to Ellie's words. Of course, she felt very uncomfortable, watching such a cute animal being de-haired and being
Cut open, their internal organs were pulled out, and their bodies were steamed in a pot. Watch the snow-white, tight pieces of meat rolling in the water, and smell the delicious and alluring smell...
"Okay, Miss Granger, come and taste a piece first."
Ellie took out a chicken leg and gave it to Hermione. Although the latter wanted to refuse, looking at the piece of meat in front of her and the aroma coming from the shop, she couldn't help but open her mouth and take a bite.
.
The next moment, the meat of the Scottish round-faced fat chicken exploded in her mouth. The crispy and sweet skin, the crispy texture, melted in the mouth, and the deliciousness to the extreme. Hermione couldn't help but close her eyes and shed tears of humiliation.
So delicious!!
Soon, the Care of Magical Creatures class became the favorite class of all Hogwarts students this semester - after all, being able to legitimately eat during class is a great feeling for any student.
And it would be even better if the food was very delicious.
Not only that, the Slytherin students also said that Ellie planned to find some pieces of dragon meat for them... Now the students were even more looking forward to it, but unfortunately dragon meat was not that easy to find.
In addition, Aili also encountered a small trouble. Food novel www.meishi2008.com
That's when Hermione found her, hoping that she could support her SPEW - the Society for the Promotion of House Elf Rights.
"We should improve the status and treatment of house elves!"
Hermione looked very excited in front of Ellie, while Ron and Harry, who were pulled over by her, were speechless.
"We met an elf at the Quidditch World Cup before. She was very cute and obedient, but her master didn't care about her at all and wanted to expel her. He didn't treat her as a human being at all!"
"House elves are not human in the first place."
Ellie turned a page of the book and replied, while Hermione shook her head.
"But this is wrong. They have no holidays, no salary, and no rights..."
"Because they are not human."
Ellie answered again, while Hermione clenched her fists.
"But they have feelings!"
"But they're not human."
This time, Ellie finally put down the book in her hand and looked at Hermione.
"But you want to treat them as human beings. That's a form of arrogance."
"I……………"
Facing Ellie's accusation, Hermione couldn't help but froze.
"Humans have human thoughts, and so do animals. Hermione, you should know about praying mantises, right? Do you know that after the mantises mate, the female mantises will eat the male mantises to replenish nutrition and give birth to their children? How? How? How?
Is it very evil from a human perspective? So what are you going to do? Do you also want to fight for the rights of the mantises?"
"But, they are really pitiful..."
Facing Ellie's rhetorical question, Hermione's voice became much softer.
"There is an old saying that Zifei Yuan knows the happiness of fish? It means that you are not a fish, how do you know whether the fish is really happy? And house elves are a very dangerous and terrifying existence, and you actually want to modify it
The law that they are not allowed to use wands?"
"But, but... I just hope that they can get the rights they deserve..."
"There are no rights at all, Miss Granger."
At this moment, Ai Li's tone became serious.
"Listen, all the rights that humans have are earned by humans themselves. Nothing is deserved. In ancient times, our ancestors did not have the right to live. They were just part of the food chain of nature, and they also
They would be eaten as dinner by animals, but in order to protect themselves, our ancestors became strong and protected their lives from those terrible beasts - relying on struggle, not any 'deserved' power
.Nothing is given to human beings for their right to life and right to survival. The reason why human beings can live on this earth until now is entirely dependent on their own efforts. You can now sit here, sit in a comfortable classroom, and be worry-free every day.
Studying and living without worries, rather than trembling in a cave afraid of being eaten by something, is achieved through the struggle and struggle of your ancestors, and I hope you can remember this."
"……………………"
Hearing Ellie's answer, Hermione bit her lip and turned pale.
"Why are you fighting for the rights of house elves? If they really want to fight for more rights, shouldn't they stand up and resist? If they don't stand up themselves, then what's the point of you standing up? And
You must remember, Miss Granger."
As she said this, Ellie stared at Hermione.
"You are a human, you are not a house elf or a goblin, or any other race. I hope you can realize this. Every race, every country, and every civilization has its own different characteristics, characteristics and cultural characteristics.
If they want to change themselves, then we can help, but if they don't have this idea, then don't get involved without permission."
"But………"
"No but, you are just showing arrogant sympathy. You regard yourself as God and are eager to save the suffering people. But you must understand your identity. You are not God, let alone a god. You are just a mortal.
, you said that house elves have not received the rights they deserve, then who gave you the right to save them?"
