Chapter 134: Show Your True Skills, and Be Grateful for the Help You Have Given Me
Aaron and his friends spread out the inner tent in an open space in front of the carport, and spent a long time to build the frame.
Then they put the outer tent on the inner tent and fixed the four corners with tent nails. A light blue tent with a length, width and height of three meters and a height of two meters was erected.
"It's great." George looked at the bright blue inside the tent and felt extremely comfortable. "There is also a skylight. I can see the night view when I have nothing to do at night."
"That's right." Fred also sighed, "Not only can it block the wind and rain, but it can also be folded up when not in use. The invention of Muggles is really a must-have artifact for outdoor camping."
"Actually, that's it, but it's definitely a wise choice to bring a tent when you run away from home."
Hearing this, a touch of color flashed in Harry's eyes.
He suddenly had the idea of buying a tent. After all, he wanted to leave the Dursleys all the time.
But this is just a thought. After all, he is a minor, and many things need the consent of his guardian, even in Hogwarts.
This means that he can't leave that home until he reaches adulthood, unless he has a new guardian.
At mealtime, Mrs. Weasley put a sumptuous meal on the table, but in the slightly crowded kitchen, only Arthur was sitting on a chair reading a newspaper.
"Where are they?" Molly asked.
"Still outside." Arthur pointed to the window meaningfully, "I don't think you need to prepare so much, the amount is 1.5 times the usual amount.
Fred and the others just took away a lot of seasonings and kitchen utensils. Aaron should be good at cooking, at least he won't starve himself."
"That won't work either.
Aaron is just a child. Even if he knows a little about cooking, how delicious can the food he makes be?
I'm just in case. Weasley can't let the guests go hungry." Molly said seriously, and the spatula in her hand kept dancing.
"Besides, the child gave us almost 300 gold galleons. Isn't this money worth a little food?"
At this time, the two smelled a strong fragrance.
Molly couldn't help sniffing, while Arthur looked out the window in astonishment, but he turned around a little too much and almost fell off the chair.
"My Merlin!" Arthur swallowed his saliva, "I don't know how it tastes, but just the smell makes me want to eat for free, at least it's better than what you make..."
"What did you say? Say it again?"
"I mean..." Arthur blinked, "I'll go call them to eat, and by the way, see if they have burned the pot."
Ting! Ting! Ting...
The sound of people coming down the stairs came, and a red-haired girl ran into the kitchen excitedly.
"Mom, what are we having for lunch?"
Molly's face was serious, and a far-fetched smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Ginny, you should preview the textbook now, and read Lockhart's works by the way. He is your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
Ginny nodded, and did not argue with her mother on this matter. After all, Mrs. Weasley was a die-hard fan of Lockhart.
"I still want to know what we're having for lunch?"
"Haha! Your mother may not want to tell you." Arthur chuckled, and then saw his wife glaring at him, and immediately pointed at the dining table, "It's very rich!"
Ginny looked at the dining table, cream pudding, butter cake, corn flakes, luncheon meat, grilled lamb chops, etc.
Considering the conditions of the Weasley family, this meal is indeed very rich, but it is still far inferior to the fragrance in the air.
Molly looked at her daughter's puzzled and bewildered look, and smiled helplessly, "We have a guest at home, it's Aaron Gaius. You should have heard Ron and the others say that if nothing unexpected happens, this fragrance is caused by him."
"Hmm... I seem to hear a familiar name." Percy walked in and said with some surprise: "Is Aaron here?"
"Percy." Molly looked at this sensible third son lovingly, "It's just what you think."
"This holiday is really interesting.
Harry came to visit, and as a result, another Slytherin came at the beginning of the school year." Percy said speechlessly, "Of course, I still have a good impression of Aaron. He knows his limits, unlike other Slytherins, at least he is not so domineering."
Hearing this, Arthur and Molly smiled at each other.
At the beginning, they did have a moment of wanting to hand Aaron over to collect the huge reward, but after a simple contact, they found that this child was really good at being a human being, and it was impossible to hate him at all.
"What's that smell?"
"Aaron bought some fresh ingredients from us and chose to cook for himself." Arthur said, "Harry, Ron, George and Fred are all outside helping him."
"He cooked it himself?" Percy was stunned for a moment, looked at the lunch on the table, and his expression became a little unnatural, "That means..."
"If we go to eat for free, he shouldn't refuse." Arthur said.
Percy's mouth twitched, "Forget it! I can't bring myself to do that."
"Okay! I knew you would say that.
I'll go call Harry and the others to eat."
"I don't think so, Dad." Ginny pointed outside, "They're almost at the door."
They turned around and saw George and Fred walking back with a large tray, Harry and Ron carefully carrying a ceramic soup pot, and Aaron following them leisurely.
Bang!
George and Fred put the tray in the middle of the dining table, shaking the tableware on the side.
"Be careful." Arthur reminded.
"Sorry, Dad, it's just that the taste is really a bit overwhelming." George smiled and praised, "You didn't see it. This is the first time I've seen magic used to prepare ingredients, control temperature, and shorten cooking time.
It's simply a profound art. If I wasn't talented enough, I would have wanted to change my career to become a chef."
"Let's move aside first. This fish soup is a little hot." Ron carefully put the soup pot on the table and blew on his palm seriously.
"Aaron, what are you doing..." Molly asked in confusion.
"Mrs. Weasley, you won't let me eat out, will you?" Aaron said with a smile, "This meal is a thank you to the Weasley family for taking me in."
"This... This is so embarrassing! We didn't do anything."
"Mom, let's talk about it later. We can't wait." George wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and opened the lid on the tray.
A burst of white hot air burst out instantly, and the strong fragrance echoed in the kitchen. Everyone swallowed their saliva involuntarily.
What came into view was a bright red roast suckling pig, but it was very different from what they saw on the menus of some restaurants. The light smoky smell easily aroused everyone's appetite.
"It's so fragrant and luxurious." Arthur barely suppressed his excitement. Because of poverty, his family had never eaten this thing, and he didn't expect to be able to feast on it today.
"Bill and Charlie will probably regret it for a long time." Ron said gloatingly.
"Aaron, this is really not appropriate." Molly was a little embarrassed. "After all, this is not prepared for us."
Aaron heard this, took out his wand and gently stroked it, and a suckling pig was divided into two.
"Half of it is enough for Abe.
To be honest, it has lost weight for two months, but it is still a quarter of a pound fatter than before the holiday."
Abe turned his face away proudly, but the next moment it jumped onto the dining table and pounced on the half pig's head.
However, halfway through the rush, it floated uncontrollably in the air. Even so, it still flapped its limbs and swam towards the roast suckling pig with all its strength.
"Don't mind it." Aaron hit Abe's forehead hard and explained, "It has no reserve at all when it comes to eating."
Percy looked at the two roast suckling pigs on the table and looked at Aaron in surprise, "Did you really make these yourself?
It's not that I doubt it, but you are only twelve years old after all, the same age as Ron, and only one year older than Ginny. Isn't this cooking skill too exaggerated?"
"Uh... Under normal circumstances, I really don't have this ability, but my family signed me up for a two-month cooking class." Aaron sighed and said, "That teacher is definitely the master in the chef circle."
"I see!"
"Ahem!" Arthur coughed, "Let's eat first! If we talk any more, the food will get cold.
We can't refuse Mr. Gaius's kindness, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ron and the others agreed with each other, they couldn't help it.
Molly also immediately pulled two chairs and sat down with Ginny.
Aaron took the knife and fork and divided half of the roast suckling pig into nine portions. Harry and Ron also served everyone a bowl of fish soup, just enough to scrape the pot clean.
Soon, the sound of chewing food came from the kitchen, and everyone enjoyed the rare delicacy in front of them.
After a meal, it can be said that both the host and the guests were happy.
Everyone was very happy to eat, and Arthur didn't care about the image of the head of the family at all. He sat down on the chair with his belly touched.
Aaron and the Weasley family also got closer. Now he really put his heart in his stomach.
Thanks to the ancestors of Sarcus, as the saying goes, a person who eats people's mouths is short, and Weasley also has to have face. After eating the food I made, even if he wanted to report it, he would not have the face to report it.
