"Penello, can you make our French baked snails?"
"Penello, what's the Stargazing School? I'd better make a vegetable salad... Can you help me cut the vegetables? "
"Emily! Morgan-le-feil asked us to do it ourselves. "
...
As soon as Helena floated into the kitchen, she noticed that several witches were chatting about the various ingredients stored in the bell-shaped crystal cover. Hibiscus Chinensis and Emily were surrounding Penello, while Hermione was shaking her head at Emily in disagreement, insisting that she should do it herself.
"Helena? You were also called by Morgan-le-feil? " Hibiscus Chinensis saw the female ghost come in and thought that she was called in by Albert's mother. She could not help but feel a little timid about the cooking show.
"I helped Grandma bring the plates in. She asked me to keep an eye on them." Helena was not very nice to Penello, but her attitude towards Hibiscus Chinensis and Emily was normal.
Unlike Luna and Hermione, Penello knew that the female ghost was Allen's daughter, so she did not have any hostility towards her. She just nodded to her as a greeting, so as not to offend the other Harris.
Emily obviously also thought of this. She immediately grabbed Penello's hand and said, "Penello, I just knocked on the portrait. Bonnie said that Helga went to Toby's village and would not be back for a while. Even if you can't help me, can you give us some guidance?"
Faced with Hibiscus Chinensis and Emily's request for help, Penello was very happy. She walked to the clothes rack and put on an apron. Then she looked at Hermione, as if waiting for her to ask for help.
Hermione knew Penello's intention very well. She patted the recipe she just took out and said, "Monica, the owner of Little Mama's Cake Shop, gave me her recipe. This is a new cheese cake she created after learning Helga's recipe in the temple. I heard that it tastes better than the old one. As long as I follow the recipe strictly, there will be no problem."
This made Penello frown. She sensed that Hermione seemed to be premeditated, which made her feel a sense of crisis. She interfered and snorted, "Hmph, cooking is not a lesson for you. You can't make anything good if you're so rigid. Do you think you can be the God of Cookery just like that?"
"As long as you put your heart into it, anyone can be the God of Cookery …" Hermione retorted indignantly. Then, she pretended to be proud and took out a set of tools that were only needed to make advanced potions from her pocket. Not only that, she also took out a set of measuring cups and scales that were only used in Muggles' experiments.
"Then put your mind to it …" Penello said impatiently. Then she called out to Hibiscus Chinensis and Emily and began to give them advice. She asked Emily to make Yorkshire pudding and arranged roast beef for Hibiscus Chinensis. It seemed that she wanted Hibiscus Chinensis and Emily to outperform Hermione.
After taking some food from the food storage area, the kitchen calmed down temporarily. However, the scene gradually turned into one where Hermione was alone on one side, while Penello, Hibiscus Chinensis and Emily were on the other side, bickering and laughing.
Hermione, who was standing in front of the big fireplace, just took a glance and added a large piece of butter into the cheese. She stared straight at the mixer that only knew how to stir in the bowl. The current situation reminded her of the difficult days when she first came to the Hogwarts. After being assigned to Gryffindor, almost no cub was willing to make friends with a top student like her. She could only read books and complete her homework alone in the library.
Helena floated up to the ceiling to avoid being noticed. Although she was sought after by everyone since she was young because of her mother, she was unable to make real friends because of that. So she thought for a moment and floated up to Hermione's side. She did not say a word and just looked down at Miss Know-It-All, who was much smaller than her, cooking. This made Hermione feel much better. She looked up at Helena gratefully and squeezed out a smile.
Hibiscus Chinensis, who was good at detecting human emotions and seducing them, also noticed the situation. She got along well with the other girls, excluding Daisy, so she took the initiative to say, "Hermione, come here. Morgan-le-Feil only asked Penello not to help. It didn't say that we can't help."
Feeling the kindness of Helena and Hibiscus Chinensis, Hermione shook her head to shake off the bad memories. She asked in a puzzled tone, "Hmm, Hibiscus Chinensis... You French people are quite knowledgeable about cheese. Do you know the most suitable level of mixing for a cake? The recipe says that it needs to be mixed moderately. How much should it be? "
"It was ready three minutes ago." Penello raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. "I'm sorry, Miss Know-It-All. I thought this was a secret recipe in your recipe."
Hermione's face flushed red as she thanked him stiffly. Then, she turned her attention back to the recipe and flipped to the previous page, intending to start from the beginning.
"Penello, help us look after it. I don't really know how to cook …" Hibiscus Chinensis looked at Hermione and Penello and suggested carefully.
"Penello, help me check. How big is the space in the middle of the dough?" Emily asked Penello for help, pretending to inadvertently interrupt Hibiscus Chinensis's invitation. She then turned to look at her sister-in-law. "Hibiscus Chinensis, during your wedding last time, I heard your father say that your grandmother gets angry easily. She would transform and throw fireballs at your grandfather?"
"It needs to be big enough. It's best if it's a concentric circle that takes up about two-thirds of the total area." The smile on Penello's face was much more sincere when he looked at Emily.
"Thank you, Hibiscus Chinensis. I still have the recipe. It won't be a big problem if I follow it. I want to do it myself." Hermione pointed angrily and flipped back. Her gaze met with Penello's and she looked away expressionlessly. She then raised her delicate chin.
Hermione picked up the pot and poured all the cheese that had been stirred in it aside. She planned to keep it to feed her Crookshan. Then, she turned around and walked to the clasped crystal bell to retrieve some ingredients.
"Well, actually, my grandfather and father are the ones who cook in my house … If my grandfather doesn't cook, my grandmother will throw fireballs at him." Hibiscus Chinensis awkwardly thought of a way to ease the atmosphere. Then, she noticed Helena standing at the side and asked tentatively, "Helena, why don't you help Hermione as well? You can also learn from her. "
To Hibiscus Chinensis's surprise, Helena, who usually didn't interact much with Hermione and Penello, nodded and floated over to follow Hermione.
Penello silently looked at Helena's actions. She seemed a little jealous. When she heard Hermione confidently describing the recipe, she was very worried. Then, she gave Hibiscus Chinensis and Emily a task and asked them to focus on the food in front of them. Then, she pretended to be taking a stroll and carefully moved a few steps forward. With her excellent eyesight and height advantage, she also looked at the recipe.
Using her finger, she flipped through the pages of the cookbook. Based on her experience, Penelope roughly estimated that if this dish was made, it should taste pretty good. This made her frown. Suddenly, Penelope noticed the black golem lubricant on the diary. She rolled her eyes and raised her head to look around. Hibiscus and Emily were working together to make the Sunday barbecue that required roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Meanwhile, Hermione seemed to be happy because of Helena's kindness. She was standing in front of the lockers and chatting with each other.
Thinking about Hermione's confident words, Penello's red lips curled up. She flipped through the recipe page again and pointed at it. Then, she calmly smiled at Hibiscus Chinensis and Emily and said, "The Sunday barbecue also needs roast potatoes. These three side dishes aren't too complicated. Morgan-le-Feil is very good at this dish. She will be very happy."
