Chapter 146 Lockhart's Special Class
Ted's "Soft Shampoo" is different from ordinary business. This thing has special meaning to Sirius.

Because the ancestors of my good friend James Potter were in the shampoo business, but James Potter's generation stopped doing it.

The gold dragons in his family’s vault are the family fortune accumulated at that time - now Harley is a rich woman!

It was because James Pott took Lily away that Snape hated James and everything related to him, including shampoo. So Snape stopped using shampoo to wash his hair.

Snape: Do you know why I don't use shampoo to wash my hair? Even dogs don't use Pott's shampoo!
Ted and Sirius worked together to pick up the Potter family's business again.

I guess Sirius wants to consider this as part of Harry's future dowry.

Ted didn't care about anything. He just provided a prescription, invested in the technology, and took 15% of the store's pure dividends.

This made Ron very greedy!
This year he deeply realized that one Galleon can stump a great wizard; without money, one can't take a single step; soup without salt is worse than water; and people without money are worse than ghosts!

Ron also complained: "When will this hard life end?"

His good brother George enlightened him: "It depends on how long you can live."

Ted: Don’t worry, I’ll take you with me next time.

The British wizarding community is so small that any changes can easily spread throughout the entire wizarding community.

Especially the reappearance of the once popular "Porter Shampoo".

With the Black family's connections, the store became very popular. According to the report in the Daily Prophet, even Minister of Magic Fudge participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

This guy just came to power two years ago. On the one hand, he needed Dumbledore's support, and on the other hand, he had to contact the pure-blood families for support. In the photo in the newspaper, he was smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

As the inventor of smoothing shampoo, Ted was also known to some well-informed people.

After all, the Porter family's recipes were out of date. They were from decades ago, and they hadn't sold shampoo for more than 20 years.

After James Potter graduated and inherited the family property, he gave up this ancestral business.

At that time, the Potters no longer needed to save money, but instead needed some social status, such as joining the Order of the Phoenix.
As a well-known person, Lockhart is well-informed.

So, he soon found out that it was his "favorite student" Ted who invented the smoothing shampoo.

He even bought it and tried it, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

To be honest, he was quite jealous!

Although he said in the book that his greatest ideal is world peace or something, how is that possible?
For so many years, Lockhart didn't dare tell anyone that his dream was to develop a shampoo.

It turns out that my student, a second-grade little wizard, developed such a useful shampoo. What a feeling!

It feels like countless ants are crawling on my body!

Lockhart was so jealous that he was crawling all over the floor. Although he complained about this shampoo, his body was still very honest! He had already used it!

Gilderoy Lockhart once attempted to invent a shampoo made from the yolk of a serpent's eggs, but this was expensive - the serpent's eggs were made of pure silver - and dangerous to use, so it was never sold to the mass market.

Before he knew Ted, he had invented two best-selling products, "hair dye" and "acne eliminater", and he also had some ideas in his mind.

It seems that this student of mine is not just good at studying.

He wanted to ride on the fame of the Boy Who Lived, but it seems like he isn't very successful.

Or, should I change my target?
Ted is good too!

……

Ted didn't know yet that dear Professor Lockhart was planning to use the name of his mentor to gain fame, or to make a venture capital investment.

If Ted becomes famous in a few years, then Lockhart will be a wise man now!
Ted was fishing at Black Lake at this time.

That's right, fishing.

When he was jogging for his morning exercise, he noticed some big fish jumping around in the lake. This was definitely a provocation!
Pumping water pumping water
In his spare time, Ted made a fishing rod to see if he could catch anything.

Don’t tell me, yes!
After fishing for twenty minutes, I finally caught a big turtle!

It's as big as a small basin! There are sharp thorns all over its back.

Ted searched in his mind and found the corresponding species in a magazine introducing magical creatures.

"The Snapping Turtle? Goodness! It's an invasive species!"

Ted thought that maybe a little wizard from some previous generation bought it as a pet, but got tired of it after a while and threw it into the Black Lake.

This won’t do. We can’t let invasive species go.

What's more, the book says that this thing is good for the body, and the turtle shell is also a good ingredient for potions. So, the Hogwarts kitchen welcomed a new recipe "Braised Iron Snapping Turtle"!
This thing is pretty tough. A house-elf had to chop it with a kitchen knife until the blade was bent, but he still couldn't get rid of it.

Or Ted came out with his unstoppable strike and gave it a complete disarmament.

Then he found a big pot, took out all the precious spices he bought from the Chinese supermarket, and looked at the potions Harry had stolen from Snape's private vault during this period to see if there was anything useful.
Finally, use a blazing flame to heat for a long time.
It took two hours to cook a dish of braised alligator snapping turtle. As soon as the lid was opened, a golden dragon turtle flew into the sky.
A group of elves and friends followed Ted and stared at the ceiling of the kitchen. No one spoke for a long time. Finally, Ted broke the silence: "Ahem, this alligator snapping turtle should have returned to paradise. We should be happy for it."

Before, Hermione said: The turtle is so cute! How can you eat the turtle!
Reach out and touch it, then: Ah, bite! Give me half a piece, simmer it slowly, and make it a little softer!!!
Now she enjoys eating it the most.

The friends were all having a great time eating, and even Ron was laughing so hard that his back teeth were showing.

As the saying goes:
The tendons on the hooves of animals are treasures in the hands of birds.

Crescent-shaped fish meat and turtle skirt ingredients.

The bite of turtle meat and the collagen on the skirt not only smells good, but also makes a warm current spread to every part of my body, which is very comfortable~
After all, this is a magical delicacy, with drugs added~
Is there any use for Potions + Herbology + Cooking?
Medicinal diet~quite a good idea!

Nowadays, there are eighteen elves in the kitchen who were taught by Ted himself, known as the Eighteen Kitchen Elves. They have superb cooking skills and each has his own specialties.

That's pretty nice.

Pickled duck eggs, Kung Pao chicken, spicy shredded chicken, British roujiamo, Hogwarts spicy soup... In half a month, the Hogwarts menu has doubled in thickness.

There are even elves making authentic Laobai Jingjiang noodles while humming: Look at this noodle, it's so big and wide~
You know what, this magic world is not just about humming. If you don't hum, the taste of the noodles you make and the magical effect of bringing happiness to people will be a little off.

I believe that in a few years, the Hogwarts kitchen will become a magical food mecca and the ultimate training ground for all magical chefs.
That evening, the house-elves collectively displayed their recent achievements.

More than twenty new dishes were served, such as crispy roast duck and braised Thames carp, which were all child's play.

Because European food is different from Chinese food. Chinese food is salty in flavor, while here it is sweet. There is sugar in everything!

So it is still adjusted according to local tastes.

The whole auditorium was filled with various aromas, and just one sniff made me feel as if all the cells in my body were refreshed and active.

The dishes shine as soon as the covers are lifted!

Then a dragon flew out, soaring into the sky, holding the delicious big elbow in its mouth~
Just one bite will make you feel so good that your clothes will explode - the whole person will feel like swimming freely in a warm current~
In my mind, a group of beauties in Bavarian dresses were dancing gracefully, and then gathered together. On the lady’s feather fan was written the word “fragrance”!

Many little wizards actually sat down on the ground after taking a bite. It was so delicious!
A young Hufflepuff wizard asked Ted in disbelief: "How did you do that?"

Ted smiled very reservedly: "It's a potion. I put a potion in it."

It is said that after this meal, many Hufflepuff students began to spend their after-school time in the kitchen.

So much so that a few years later a famous saying came out: If you meet a magical cooking chef who graduated from Hufflepuff, just marry her!
Looking at the extremely lively auditorium, everyone was enjoying the food, laughing and cheering, it was very lively.

Ron was so envious. When would he be able to lead everyone and make them happy?

Jerry, who was eating fish happily, asked shamelessly: "Why do fish have spines? It would be much easier to eat without them!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at him. "The fish doesn't want you to eat it."

Ted laughed and said, "That's a sea cucumber you're talking about. Only people who play football and are terrible at it eat it."

……

Today's dinner was so sumptuous that even Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall were full of praise for it.

But there was one person who didn't make it - Lockhart.

What is he doing? He is writing a plan.

He felt that he had been too low-key recently and he had to do something.

If he didn't do anything for a week, he felt like ants were crawling all over his body! So he wrote a plan...

As a result, Lockhart learned that he had missed a great meal.

He was also curious. Why did you say that if you eat it, you will become an immortal and meet Merlin?
He just wanted to try it.

Kaka, the chef and house elf in the kitchen, patted his chest and assured Professor Lockhart: I will use all my strength, just wait and see~
The dishes were ready soon, and the rosy and beautiful photos were taken~
Lockhart picked up a piece of the rosy, appetizing-looking dish and put it into his mouth.

Chew, chew, chew ~ Hmm! Very fragrant ~
But there is a weird, indescribable smell in the fragrance. It is very addictive!

Lockhart seemed to remember the Valentine's Day when he sent himself a hundred letters when he was in school... That was my lost youth!
After a long while, Lockhart wiped away the tears from his eyes and asked curiously, "What is the name of this dish?"

Kaka smiled~
