The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 149 Garden Exchange Meeting

At David's enthusiastic invitation, Ryan also tried a Fire Snake Fruit. Biting into the fruit, a sweet and sour juice filled his mouth. Although the taste was good, Ryan felt that if it was just like this, the Fire Snake Fruit would not be worthy of the adjective of precious.

As he was thinking, the juice flowing into his throat seemed to suddenly burn, like a line of fire from his throat to his stomach. Ryan could feel this heat flow from his body to his limbs, removing all the dampness and heat in his body. It swept away all the discomfort he had felt since coming here. Then a gust of wind blew, and Ryan felt some long-lost coolness.

"This is a good thing. It can remove the discomfort in the body caused by the humid and hot environment. It should also prevent heatstroke, so you should eat some too." Ryan said to Hermione and the second-year Hufflepuff student next to him after he recovered.

"Great." David gave Ryan a thumbs up. "Not many people of our age can feel the special effects of the Fire Snake Fruit so accurately after eating it for the first time. Since you can see it, you must have learned herbal medicine well."

"Indeed, Ryan is sometimes even called by our school doctor, Madam Pomfrey, to be an assistant." Hermione took a deep breath after eating the fire snake fruit and looked more energetic than before. She answered after hearing David's words.

Using this topic as an introduction, the two sides began to discuss herbal medicine. Castrobruchuo is indeed a school famous for herbal medicine and magical biology, even the junior students can come up with some viewpoints that have never been seen in herbal medicine textbooks.

Fortunately, Ryan had received Dave's lifelong efforts in plant research, and had gained valuable practical experience in the process of cultivating Xiaoqing, which allowed him to have a back-and-forth discussion with David and the others, and not to be embarrassed here. But for others, the content of their discussion was still a bit esoteric. Ryan tried very hard to explain these issues about magic plants to the two people around him, but they still looked confused.

After all, Ryan and the others were discussing some details and various operating techniques in actual operation. This was indeed a bit difficult for the junior students of Hogwarts who had insufficient practical experience in herbal medicine. Because many small techniques in operation could not be found in books at all, and could only be understood through actual operation.

However, as a top student at Hogwarts, at least he had the good habit of asking questions when he didn't understand something. Ryan saw Hermione and the Hufflepuff student took out their notebooks and began to record the knowledge points that appeared in Ryan's discussion. Because in order to communicate smoothly, everyone discussed in Spanish. Therefore, Ryan needed to spend some energy to translate the content of the communication into English so that his classmates could understand.

This also made Ryan feel a burning sensation in his throat when more than half of the afternoon discussion time had passed. Fortunately, this is Castro Brussels. Although there may not be many other things, there is definitely no shortage of various herbs. Ryan thought about using simple natural senses to find herbs around, and after taking some medicinal fruits from the table, he borrowed a crucible from the stove and began to brew the potion.

When Ryan started to set up the pot to boil the medicine, his actions quickly attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, due to the current environment and the fruits served, most students naturally chose herbal medicine as the topic of communication and discussion.

As we all know, Castello Brujo Academy has a great advantage in the research of magical animals and plants, which has led to the fact that the Hogwarts students have been at a disadvantage in the discussion just now. Looking at the smug looks of the two professors accompanying Castello Brujo on the stone platform, everyone soon realized that this was a trap they deliberately set up to show their strength.

However, the Hogwarts students were in a dilemma at this time. After all, changing the subject would make them look not only academically incompetent but also unable to afford to lose. So they spent the whole afternoon watching Castrobruchuo's students showing off in front of them.

However, Ryan's group naturally didn't notice the embarrassment of other students because Ryan relied on his cheats to discuss with the students on the other side. Now Ryan suddenly started to brew potions, and the students at Hogwarts finally breathed a sigh of relief and found an excuse to get rid of the current unfavorable situation.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ryan processed the raw materials smoothly and controlled the heat skillfully. This set of actions stunned the young wizards who were watching. After all, they had seen similar scenes, but they were usually pharmacists with more than ten years of experience. Seeing Ryan, a rookie who had only been in contact with potion brewing for two years, could show this state, the word "genius" emerged in the minds of the students who were watching. After all, they had no other explanation for Ryan's skilled operation process.

However, Ryan knew that he was not a genius at all. He just inherited a traditional Chinese medicine from the Wanjie Grocery Store. Although the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner was only above average, he had at least studied medicine for decades with a master who was a genius doctor. During those decades of studying medicine, he mostly helped his master to pick and decoct medicine.

Fortunately, the processing and production of raw materials for potions have a lot in common with traditional Chinese medicine. So after Ryan absorbed the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, he also mastered a series of experiences and tricks for making potions through simple changes.

Of course, this inheritance is not perfect. When Ryan was in school, he was criticized by Snape for being too rigid and lacking the spiritual energy that is important in potion making. Therefore, it is difficult to make a perfect potion.

However, for the young wizards watching, being able to skillfully brew a pot of excellent potion was already a great achievement. So Ryan finally distributed the potion to everyone in the eyes of admiration. Fortunately, Ryan thought of this situation at the time and brewed a large pot of potion, so that everyone who needed it could get a portion.

After drinking the potion to reduce swelling and relieve summer heat, the students of Hogwarts naturally turned the topic to potions, in which Hogwarts students were superior to Castrobrook students. After all, it was a luxury to have a young potion master as a potion professor. With a potion master teaching attentively and dealing with all kinds of disgusting potion materials as pressure, the students naturally had a high level of learning in potions class.

In the wizarding world, the supply of potion masters has always been far less than the demand. Young potion masters, in particular, often choose to make full use of their time to improve themselves and obtain resources. Often, only older potion masters will choose to return to school to teach and train young people when there is little hope of a breakthrough. However, their age determines that they cannot have enough energy to train students like young people.

Professor Snape of Hogwarts is a special case. Because of some reasons, he chose to stay in school to teach, which also led to the improvement of the overall potion level of Hogwarts students. Think about it, in the ordinary wizard exam, even Neville, a student who is full of disadvantages in potions, can pass this exam. This can well illustrate the level of Professor Snape.

Sure enough, in the subsequent potion discussion, the Hogwarts students had the upper hand, which saved some face.

After returning to the carriage after the final bonfire barbecue party, Professor Sprout praised Ryan for bringing honor to Hogwarts, although Ryan felt that it was just a coincidence and did not deserve the praise.
