Standard breakfast in Scotland typically consists of bread, boiled potatoes, and stewed beans. If the family's circumstances are more generous, there may be a bit of bacon or a bowl of vegetable salad added.
However, culinary skills from the three British Isles are usually not too great. At least for Elena, who was raised by the "Dynasty of Heaven on the Tip of the Tongue" in her previous life, most dishes receive a critique. It's a degree: non-toxic, full of control.
Since Elena took charge of the financial aspects and the three meals in the orphanage, the children's breakfasts have become quite rich and exquisite.
Of course, supposed wealth and refinement are actually relative terms.
- Toast with honey, mashed potatoes, fried eggs, and occasionally accompanied by a white bowl of Lake Lomond fish soup (last week, it was replaced by a large bowl of steamed Scottish round chicken soup). -
In Benitez's opinion, this is almost the most luxurious enjoyment in the world.
Therefore, when he heard Dumbledore's voice outside the door, Benitez shook his head and refused.
"No need, thank you for your kindness. Our breakfast is actually better than you think... Hiss~"
Unfinished, Benitez suddenly took a deep breath and made a strange sound.
"Of course, I don't mind, then I will trouble Professor Dumbledore."
Elena slowly withdrew the fingers pinching the soft flesh around Benitez's waist and sweetly replied.
Hogwarts, which boasts hundreds of house-elves, can be said to surpass almost every school of the same era in terms of food and basic drink.
Without discussing cooking and practices, just in terms of sophistication, compared to Elena's purely self-sufficient family breakfast model, it is naturally rich and luxurious.
Since the scholarship for orphans at the school has been rejected by a stubborn uncle, at least this free breakfast won't be missed by Elena.
"But, Professor Dumbledore, it seems you didn't bring food, did you?"
The little silver-haired Lolita jumped out of the kitchen and looked at the old wizard with empty hands. Her face instantly fell, furrowing her brow in confusion.
Although she doesn't know how far Hogwarts is from the village of Russ, Elena can be sure that if Dumbledore continues using the same flying spell as before, it is definitely unreal.
"I can't pull food out of thin air; there are others who prepare breakfast."
Dumbledore smiled slightly, raised his wand and waved it gently in the air, Elena dimly saw a translucent wave cross the sky.
The next moment, a house-elf with large eyes and ears appeared in the open space in front of the kitchen.
"Hello, Miss Elena, it's a pleasure to see you again. House-elf Burleigh is delighted to assist you."
It so happened to bring Elena to visit Hogwarts' house-elf Burleigh one afternoon.
"Oh my God, is this the legendary house-elf? I didn't expect it to exist!"
At this moment, Benitez also walked out of the kitchen door, watching Burleigh with wonder in three faces.
Upon hearing the sound behind her, Elena suddenly reacted. She was not at Hogwarts now. This was a common Muggle orphanage in the village of Russ.
"Oh my God, Professor Dumbledore, aren't you concerned about the 'International Statute of Secrecy'? You must know that ordinary people are everywhere..."
Elena's eyes narrowed, she turned around and tried to push the burly man behind her into the room.
"Of course, don't worry, for this situation, we always have a set of methods to deal with it."
Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand, playing with the wand in his hand, and said casually.
"How to deal...?! Do you mean...?"
The silver-haired girl stopped in thought in front of Benitez. A mark on her left hand suddenly lit up, staring at Dumbledore's wand like a female leopard.
"Come, I won't let you cast a memory charm on him."
Dumbledore looked with interest at the little girl in front of him and suddenly found a place that made him happy.
Compared to Riddle and Grindelwald, Elena Caslana, also an orphan, seems to have many weaknesses, such as devotion to food and caring for her family.
