While Allen was trying to fight with the food in the kitchen, the living room became livelier and livelier after the Ministry of Magic officially got off work.
The cup of potion in front of Emily was no longer steaming hot. Penello was fiddling with the phonograph in the living room. She chased the little bird snake that was hidden in the cabinet to the Lunn's side and randomly placed a few vinyl discs to try it out. After that, she cast a Levitation Spell on it.
When she was about to move it to the dining room, she turned around and noticed that Hermione was looking at her. Her red lips curled up as she said in a picky tone, "There's one in my father's study too. The sound is even better. I'll bring it over tomorrow so I don't have to move it around anymore."
"Penello, you're spoiling Allen too much. Why do you have to make a phonograph to accompany the meal? That's too exaggerated." Daisy saw that the two of them were quarreling again so she changed the topic loudly, "Hermione, come here quickly. You're on TV now. Your hairstyle today is quite photogenic."
"Wolf Mother helped me to spray the smoothing agent … The effect is quite good but it's too troublesome to spray it every day." Hermione rolled her eyes at Penelope and sat next to Daisy without any intention to argue with her. "Four Eyes has analyzed some of the ingredients. The smoother hair conditioner contains Barbados rubber, Asian dragon hair, and Vaseline. Umbrella will be able to make a better one soon …" Hermione paused. "Speaking of which, this hair conditioner was invented by Harry's grandfather, Mr. Frimond Potter. This best-selling product has quadrupled the Potter family's wealth. Fortunately, he sold the company with a huge profit after he retired. The buyer is not on good terms with us … But no matter what, this is still somewhat immoral …" (Author's Note: This setting is from Harry Potter's Collected Edition. The label above shows that this hair conditioner is actually produced in China.)
"I've also changed this brand after I came to England. This hair conditioner is suitable for all types of hair and is especially effective for thick and messy hair. It can make it soft and shiny … However, the label still clearly warns people with red hair not to use this potion. Otherwise, it will cause a 'unique effect'. The Weasley boy who always hangs out with Potter … who looks like a sea cucumber, it seems that he can't use it. Hermione, your new product might be able to fix this flaw. I've noticed that there are quite a lot of Red Ginger people in the English wizard world." Hibiscus Chinensis held a cup of green tea with sugar and fresh mint leaves and took a sip elegantly. "Also, Daisy, isn't it tasteful to play music while eating? Using an old-fashioned gramophone to play beautiful music … Perhaps Allen should have gone to Boothbottom to study … "
"Why hasn't Allen come out yet? This kid is cooking for the first time. Could it be that he messed up the kitchen and is too embarrassed to come out? " Seeing that the two of them were quarreling again, he loudly changed the topic. "Penello, how was he doing when you went in earlier? If not, you'd better go to Lunn and buy some ready-made brooms … "
"Allen that kid even knocked on the door of my treehouse just now. The reason he knocked me out was to chase me out!" Helga Hufflepuff complained in the portrait in the living room. "Loina didn't come today too? If you ask me, you'd better keep a close eye on her … She and Allen don't speak much truth … "
"Don't worry, Owen and Helga. I just went in and took a look. Allen's cooking should be quite simple …" Penello had already commanded the gramophone to float up. Hearing that, she defended Allen and changed the topic. "By the way, Victor sent a message earlier. Those cowards who caused trouble at the bank today seem to have gathered at the Bork Family's manor …"
Albert nodded seriously. "Although Scrimgeour obeyed the order in public, he's still in charge of patrolling the Aura. He still has a natural suppression against those ordinary armed Aura … During this period of time, he and the armed Aura have always been at odds with each other … After today, we might completely fall out … I have to say that he's actually not a bad person. He's doing what he thinks he should do. Father, can't we promote him to another position?"
"Aura's office is still under the control of the Magical Law Enforcement Department. Albert, if he's looking for trouble, just tell me. I can still suppress him with my position." Lunn played with the birdsnake in his pocket. "It's a little difficult to directly take it away. Other than the remnants of the pureblood families in the Ministry of Magic who will definitely try their best to stop us, it will also make the ordinary wizards and even Dumbledore think that we're doing a thorough purge to control the British magic world … No, at least not now. The floating city and the nuclear school have not really become our capital. We don't have to consider those families, but we still have to consider our reputation among the ordinary wizards."
"Hermione, temporarily put aside the plan of using nuclear control to control the undead and magical golems like Mr. Handy to replace human labor. The research can continue, but after today, many ordinary wizards will lose their jobs because of this … We have to give them work." Owen's finger habitually flicked on the sofa. "It's best to let Arthur speed up. I'll provide him with more free time in the Ministry of Magic … Convert more Muggle products into wizard products, then open more workshops on the floating city … Hermione, don't worry about a temporary loss. It's not a problem for the umbrella to lose money. This kind of economic confrontation can be won when our own manufacturing industry is on the right track."
"Allen told me something similar before." Hermione's eyes were bright and moist. She was very happy that Owen and his son were concerned about ordinary people at this time. "He said that even if the goods in the warehouse can't be sold, we have to expand production. The bank will also prioritize helping many wizard families survive this economic winter."
Owen nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. It's good that you have your own plans … After today, when they want to criticize for a while, Allen can show off his other treasure in public …"
"Owen!" Morgan-le-feil did not care at first, but now she put her hands on her bulging belly and roared even louder. "Think before you speak!"
"Huh? Ah! Sorry, I'm not … "The head of the Ministry of Magic was stunned for three seconds before realizing that he had said something dirty. Before he could finish, there was a burst of laughter in the house.
Daisy, who laughed out loud, shouted, "Dad, maybe we can let Allen do the same? Then Allen will be even more famous in the wizarding world … We even need Hibiscus Chinensis to interview him! "
"Daisy!" Albert yelled at his sister, who he thought had gone too far. Hibiscus Chinensis could not help but chase after Daisy with her husband.
But at this time, the kitchen door suddenly opened and attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, Alan was like the aunt on the Hogwarts train who was popular with all the students. He pushed a large dining cart out, neatly covered with plates covered with silver lids of different sizes, making it impossible for them to know what kind of food Alan had made.
Allen sat at the head of the table with an overconfident smile on his face. He reached out his hand and invited them to sit in the dining room. A flash of light in the dining room indicated that Ahn-Kha had teleported in and was sitting at his special table.
Harris and the others were still in shock when they saw the many hemispherical lids on the cart. Daisy's jaw dropped. "My brother, you can cook so many dishes?"
"In such a short time? Did you ask Maggie for help? " Morgan-le-feil clutched her stomach. Her expression was similar to her eldest daughter's. She had never noticed her child's talent in cooking before.
Hermione was also stunned. She was originally full of joy and expectation to be able to eat the food cooked by Alan. She had always thought that Alan and she could not cook, and that it was because the two of them were top students who put their energy into more important things such as studying. But now, seeing so many lids, it gave her a fatal blow and made her realize that there were differences between people. Alan was much more talented in cooking than she was, even at the extreme level of talent.
"Remember to write me a recipe." Helga knocked on the portrait to get Allen's attention. "I'll cook for Merlin and Odega in the treehouse. That Muggle recruiter has a good appetite … Also, why don't I see Loina and Helena? Did you guys have a fight? Why didn't they come over to eat your cooking? "
"Of course not. Recently, Luna … has some problems. You know her condition … Helena is with her. Don't worry, Helga, I've already sent them a portion …" Allen tried to mislead others by hinting at Luna's identity as a false god. "Of course it's not a problem to write a recipe, Helga. In fact, I've already prepared it inside. Kritzer will read it to you later. Sorry, I just didn't want you to spoil what I was doing …" He found that his family's expressions were still a little exaggerated and hurriedly clarified. "Although there are many plates, most of them are just side dishes. It's a bit like the mutton soup Penello made for us last year … Actually, I've only made three dishes, one of which is just a dessert … But I've tasted it in the kitchen. It should suit your taste … especially Emily."
Emily, who was always excited at the mention of desserts, also became spirited at this moment. She stood up from the sofa and cheered at Allen, "I've told you before when I was little, Allen, you're the best!"
However, unlike most people who were curious and had their appetites piqued, Lunn, who had been to the Pig's Head Bar before, did not look too good. Thinking of Anna III who made Aberforth cry, the unprepared Lunn could not help but retch. Penello, on the other hand, was a little jealous when she heard Helga and Allen talking about Luna. As for the female straight-A student, Hermione, she was still in shock when she found out that she and Allen were bad at cooking. This made the three wizards muddle-headed and followed the others into the more traditional restaurant and sat down.
However, Allen, who was in front of the cart, was happy that he had fooled Luna's explanation. He waved his arm confidently and all the lids and plates floated in the air under the effect of the Brilliant Levitation Spell. They accurately landed on the mahogany long table in the restaurant. Only a few covers that actually contained dipping sauces were left on the cart.
Looking at Allen's confident look, Harris and the others leaned forward expectantly and approached the cover of a dish on the table. Allen turned his head confidently and nodded to Maggie who was already floating beside the phonograph. Maggie received the order and was about to move the needle on the phonograph to the vinyl disc on the top. Very grand music, with a very strong ancient flavor, rang out in the restaurant, bringing out the feeling of a grand scene. (Author's Note: The BGM of this chapter is the classic song "Great Wall" composed by Michihiko Ota in the cartoon "China's Top Chef".)
Then, all the lids flew in the air under Allen's control. In an instant, dazzling golden light burst out from the silver plates. The golden light gathered upward like a rapidly shuttling light belt, finally converging into a huge circular light column that touched the ceiling and dispersed. Then, the whole room was enveloped by this strong light. (Author's Note: The illusion here is the special effect when the Top Chef opens the lid of the golden fried rice at the beginning of the cartoon "China's Top Chef".)
"Ah! I'm blind! "Owen and his sons covered their eyes and wailed.
"My eyes!" Morgan-le-feil and the girls' eyes instantly turned red and tears flowed out.
"Cluck cluck cluck!" Phoenix Ahn-Kha fell off the dining table. The light was even more dazzling than its flames, causing it to cover its face with its wings before it fell to the ground.
The music from the phonograph also stopped. The house elf Maggie had just fixed her under the strong light.
"Don't panic! Sorry! "Allen was also a little dizzy because of the flash." I added too many special effects with the illusion! I only tested the effect of a single plate. I didn't expect so many to gather together to form a Muggle flash bomb … "
