Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

In the middle of the dormitory, a small pot of red soup was bubbling away on a small table. Around the pot were various prepared ingredients, the most eye-catching of which were the bright green, tender lettuce leaves and sliced ​​lettuce.

"Gulu~"

Seeing this scene in the room, Hermione and the others swallowed hard. Without Ye Feng having to call them, the group naturally sat down at the table and surrounded the bubbling pot.

Meanwhile, in a dormitory of first-year Gryffindor girls, Luna picked up a piece of chopped gongcai (a type of lettuce) with her chopsticks and put it into a bubbling hot pot, explaining, "This is called gongcai. It's made by peeling and drying a long-stemmed lettuce. It's crunchy and very delicious. You should try it."

Of course, Ye Feng would never forget his "good sister" when it came to such good things. In fact, it could be said that his "good sister" was the one who knew how to appreciate good things the most. He secretly gave two-thirds of the preserved vegetables he had prepared to his "good sister".

"Looks like we'll have to cultivate another 'vegetable garden' to grow more dried plums. We've worked so hard for so long, and in the end, I haven't even been able to eat much myself." Ye Feng sighed helplessly as he watched Harry and the others reach for the dried plums with their chopsticks after tasting them.

Chapter 88 This is a huge misunderstanding

"On the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas are chirping, heralding the arrival of summer."

"In the melon patch on the playground, the watermelons are all big and round!"

"Inside the dorm, without fans or air conditioning, students are unbearably hot. Waiting for the melons to ripen, waiting to eat them, waiting for the beautiful summer..."

As the last class ended, Ye Feng hummed a song that most people in China would recognize once they started singing, and walked out with light steps. However, if anyone who had heard the song heard the lyrics he was humming, they would realize that it had been heavily modified.

Of course, it was highly unlikely that anyone here had ever heard of this song. Hermione and the others hadn't even learned Chinese, let alone heard it, so they couldn't understand what Ye Feng was humming at all. They just thought the melody was quite upbeat, until…

"Feng! Look over there! What's that?" After walking a long way with Ye Feng, Hermione exclaimed in surprise at the lush, round melon patch in front of her.

Hearing Hermione suddenly exclaim, Ye Feng was so startled that he turned around instantly and covered her mouth.

"Shh~ Don't shout, or we'll be in big trouble. These are watermelons I've worked so hard to grow, and they're almost ripe. We can't let anyone find out."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Hermione nodded quickly. Seeing that Hermione understood, Ye Feng let go of her hand and led her to take a slightly different route into the melon patch from another direction.

Ye Feng had been eating watermelons for many years, so he could tell whether a watermelon was ripe or not with just a tap. Hermione was shocked to see Ye Feng carefully avoiding the watermelon vines on the ground and then tapping on the round, tempting-looking watermelons one by one.

"Puff puff~"

"Hmm~ This one isn't cooked yet, next one."

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Huh? This looks ripe, should I pick it?"

While pondering, Ye Feng noticed that there were many watermelons in the melon field that were even bigger, rounder, and greener than the one in front of him, so he hesitated again.

"How about we pick some more?" Ye Feng murmured as he went to tap the watermelon again, leaving Hermione standing to the side completely bewildered.

"Ye Feng, what are you doing? Are you worried that these melons won't behave?"

Ye Feng: (°Д°)

"Click~"

Hermione's words startled Ye Feng, and in that moment of surprise, he unconsciously tightened his grip, causing the watermelon under his hand to split open. However, when Ye Feng saw the bright red and tempting flesh inside the split watermelon, a bright smile instantly appeared on his face.

"You're the one! I hope you won't disappoint me." With a murmur, Ye Feng deftly picked the watermelon that he had already cracked open, carried it to the side and placed it on the ground, then took out his magic wand.

"Quickly cool down"

"Fragmented"

"呲~"

As the curse fell, the watermelon, which had already split open, split open again. However, this time it did not split irregularly but evenly, as if it had been cut with a knife.

"Gulu~"

For some reason, Hermione couldn't help but swallow when she saw the pale red juice dripping down the bright red flesh of the watermelon. Ye Feng smiled and handed Hermione a piece with fewer seeds, saying, "Try it. It's the first batch of watermelons this year. I wonder if it's sweet enough."

Hermione, who had been craving the watermelon for a long time, didn't hold back. She took the watermelon Ye Feng handed her and took a big bite. The moment she bit into the sweet and juicy watermelon, Hermione felt completely enveloped in happiness.

"Haohaoci~"

Perhaps it was because the watermelon tasted so good, or perhaps it was because she had never eaten a watermelon like this before, but after taking a bite, Hermione couldn't help but speak in Chinese. Although she might not have been learning for very long and her pronunciation wasn't very standard, it was enough to show how excited she was at that moment.

Seeing Hermione's reaction, Ye Feng picked up two pieces of watermelon with irregularly cracked skins and took a bite. His eyes lit up because the watermelon tasted really good. It was not only sweet enough but also very juicy. Plus, he had just frozen it with magic, and one bite instantly dispelled all the summer heat.

"Hmm, it seems the first batch of melons is ready to be harvested. Let's pick a batch first." While thinking, Ye Feng finished off the two pieces of watermelon in his hand in a few bites, spat out the watermelon seeds in his mouth, clapped his hands, and walked into the melon field.

"Hermione, you can eat here slowly. I'll pick the ripe watermelons first so they don't overripe."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Hermione, who was engrossed in eating watermelon, nodded vaguely. However, when Ye Feng picked out all the ripe watermelons and put them into his spatial ring, he returned to the field and discovered that Hermione had already finished the entire watermelon that was the size of a football.

"Hiccup~"

Seeing Hermione sprawled on the ground, clutching her round little belly, she couldn't help but smile. When Hermione saw Ye Feng's smile, her delicate face instantly turned bright red, her earlobes almost glowing red, making her look incredibly cute.

"Frozen watermelon is delicious, but don't eat too much at once, or you won't have room for dinner later."

Ye Feng's words made Hermione suddenly realize that tonight's dinner seemed to be barbecue, and Ye Feng had promised to make a roast suckling pig.

"Gulu!"

Just thinking about the roast suckling pig Ye Feng described made Hermione, who already had a round belly, swallow hard. When she saw her slightly protruding belly, she deflated like a punctured balloon because she was already stuffed.

Seeing Hermione's expression, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile slightly, but he still explained, "It's okay, watermelon flesh is mostly water, and it will be mostly digested by dinner time. But can you still walk now? Do you want me to carry you?"

Hermione's eyes flickered upon hearing Ye Feng's words, and a look of interest clearly appeared on her face. However, after considering it for a moment, she gave up and instead asked Ye Feng to stay here and rest with her for a while.

If it had been shortly after she enrolled, she would have definitely agreed, but now she is very close friends with Luna, Zhang Qiu, and Ginny. If this causes any misunderstandings among them and affects their friendship, she would not be able to forgive herself.

Ye Feng didn't think too much about it. He made the suggestion simply because he had experienced feeling uncomfortable walking after eating too much, so he thought of Hermione. Now that Hermione didn't need it, he wouldn't insist on doing so. So the two of them lay side by side on the grass, watching the sun set.

As night fell and the lights of Hogwarts came on, Ye Feng and Hermione strolled slowly toward the dining room. Shortly after they left, Dumbledore glanced in the direction they had come from, his gaze flickering slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he resolutely walked toward the thicket of grass, which was taller than his knees at its highest point.

"Although you two are quite mature for your age, you're still a bit too young. You absolutely mustn't try to taste the forbidden fruit at such a young age..."

Chapter 89 Snowflakes Fluttering, North Wind Howling

"Although you two are quite mature for your age, you're still a bit too young. You absolutely mustn't try to taste the forbidden fruit at such a young age..."

With a touch of apprehension, Dumbledore waded through the dense grass, which was slightly higher than his knees. After walking about five or six meters, the view suddenly opened up before him, and the dense grass disappeared, replaced by a lush, thriving melon field.

"This is... a watermelon?"

Looking at the round, tempting watermelons, Dumbledore was somewhat reluctant to believe what he was seeing. The watermelons were growing so well, and more importantly, they were unlike any he had ever eaten before. Although they were slightly smaller, they were rounder and had a more vibrant green color.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Dumbledore noticed a patch of grass that had clearly been deliberately flattened, and judging from the shape of the flattened grass, Ye Feng and Hermione must have been lying there.

Dumbledore's heart skipped a beat when he saw the fallen grass, because Ye Feng and Hermione had been alone together for a long time. In addition, as someone with experience, he could tell that Hermione had some feelings for Ye Feng, so his heart was instantly in his throat.

However, Dumbledore's anxiety soon subsided as he saw the watermelon rind, mostly hidden by weeds, and a few scattered watermelon seeds still faintly visible on the grass.

"These two little rascals really came here to steal food! They didn't even invite Harry and the others, and they didn't even share such good stuff with us elders first!"

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief after figuring out what had happened, but he quickly became furious. Ye Feng hadn't shared such a good thing and was keeping it all to himself, which was outrageous. Dumbledore would never allow such a thing to happen!

So, while Ye Feng was humming a little tune and roasting a suckling pig, Dumbledore was bending over in the melon patch, checking each watermelon to see if they were ripe.

To be fair, Dumbledore did have some skill. After spending a whole hour checking them one by one, he actually managed to find a few watermelons that had slipped through the net. Dumbledore, whose back was almost broken from exhaustion, felt quite accomplished. Therefore, when Ye Feng and the others finally brought the roast suckling pig to the table and cut it open, Dumbledore and the others also started their watermelon feast.

It must be said that Ye Feng's cooking skills were quite nice; whether it was roast suckling pig or watermelon, everyone who tasted them ate until their bellies were full. Of course, besides Ye Feng and his friends, Zhang Qiu and Luna, as well as the third-year Ravenclaw students and the first-year Gryffindor girls, also enjoyed the sweet watermelon.

It was at this moment that they finally understood what true extravagance meant, because both Ye Feng and Zhang Qiu ate watermelons by cutting them in half and then eating them with a spoon, unlike them who not only cut them but also cut each piece into very small pieces, for fear that if they cut them too big, they would finish them all at once.

Good things are always popular, no matter where they are placed. Ye Feng's watermelons are very popular among Hogwarts students, especially when paired with watermelons that quickly cool down the body. They are the kind of watermelons that people would not trade for any amount of money.

Unfortunately, Ye Feng only picked about twenty melons in the first batch. If he distributed them all to acquaintances, each person would only get four or five melons. Selling them was impossible, at least not for the next couple of days. Perhaps he could share some with others when the melons ripened in large quantities.

However, they soon stopped envying Ye Feng and his group, because three days later, Dumbledore announced something before dinner that excited everyone: they would be having a fruit feast that night.

Although they are wizards, to be honest, crops in the magical world are not very productive, so even they, as Hogwarts students, can only eat fruit a few times a semester, especially delicious fruit. But now Dumbledore has announced that he will hold a fruit feast, which is far more exciting than the news of holding a grand banquet.

So, after Dumbledore finished speaking, almost everyone felt that the food in front of them no longer tasted good. Many people even put down their knives, forks, bowls, and chopsticks after finishing their food and stared longingly at Dumbledore.

Feeling the students' enthusiasm, Dumbledore smiled broadly. Without keeping them in suspense, he clapped his hands and announced the start of the fruit feast.

With a gentle wave of his wand, Dumbledore vanished from the table. Then, he waved his wand again, and in an instant, the empty table was covered with all sorts of fruit.

Common fruits like apples, bananas, and grapes were naturally present and plentiful, but what caught the eye most was a round, shiny watermelon.

Ye Feng: [?_??]

"How strange, why does this watermelon look so familiar? Let me take another look." As he murmured, Ye Feng reached out and gently patted the large watermelon on the table. When that familiar touch traveled back to Ye Feng, his heart skipped a beat.

"Wait, this won't..." Thinking of that terrible possibility, Ye Feng felt even more uneasy. Even the melon that Hermione handed him after cutting it didn't taste sweet.

"Professor Dumbledore, may I ask where you bought these delicious watermelons?" While Ye Feng was feeling uneasy, a Ravenclaw student raised his hand and asked Dumbledore about the origin of these watermelons.

Upon hearing this question, Dumbledore smiled brightly at Ye Feng and then replied, "I picked these watermelons in a patch of grass in the square where almost no one would set foot."

"I wonder what kind of watermelon this is. It's amazing that it's growing so well in this overgrown wasteland where no one is taking care of it." As he said this, Dumbledore seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly added, "Oh right, I almost forgot. Such a good watermelon must be preserved. So after you finish eating the watermelon, you must keep the seeds safe. This is related to whether we will have any watermelons to eat next year."

Ye Feng: Σ (?Д?;)!!!

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng could no longer sit still. Without even asking Dumbledore, he jumped up and rushed out. A few minutes later, a blood-curdling scream echoed throughout Hogwarts.

"Do not!!!"

Music, start!

Looking at the melon field in front of him, which was still lush and green but with sparse melons and lush vines, Ye Feng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Gone, all gone... I worked so hard to grow these watermelons... gone..." Looking at the few scattered watermelons left in the field, Ye Feng's eyes lost focus, and he walked back blankly as if he had no soul. His dejected appearance made Dumbledore's face show a hint of pity.

Just then, Greenwald, who was eating watermelon, suddenly said, "Can't bear it? Imagine those greenhouses in the herb garden that have been almost completely drained and replanted with various vegetables, and then think about where that watermelon patch is located."

Dumbledore: Σ(?д?lll)

"Right, I almost got fooled by this kid. That melon patch is right in the square where the students do their morning exercises. And this kid is practically turning the school's herb greenhouse into a vegetable garden. We should give him a little warning."

"And don't forget, we only picked the first batch of melons. There will be more to come, it just takes a few more days."

Grindelwald's words successfully extinguished any lingering reluctance Dumbledore might have had, while Ye Feng was already crying his eyes out in the bathroom, because he wouldn't be able to eat frozen watermelon for another week.

Chapter 90: Sunflower seeds, peanuts, all that's missing is mineral water.

The next morning, in the restaurant…

"The greenhouses on Hogwarts campus are for growing all kinds of magical herbs, not vegetable gardens. So from now on, be careful not to grow vegetables in the Hogwarts herb room."

"In addition, the square where we do exercises on Hogwarts campus is not allowed to be used for growing vegetables or fruit, especially by students from China. Remember, you are students. I don't object to your love of labor, but you cannot directly turn the school's grass into vegetable gardens, understand?"
