This Hogwarts is not normal

At the urging of the sous chef, the chefs stopped paying attention to Vincent's cooking.

They would just take a curious look at it when they were free occasionally, and JP on the side would feast his eyes on it.

After draining the cod and seasoning it with salt, pepper and paprika, Vincent quickly made a few cuts with his knife across the surface of a thick sirloin steak.

He took out a new pan and added black pepper sauce, yellow mustard, syrup, and butter to it and brought it to a boil.

Stir gently with a spoon a few times and the fresh, fragrant and spicy sauce is ready.

After checking the salting status of the cod, he took out a new pan again.

After the butter melted, he put the whole thick sirloin on it.

JP nodded secretly.

The few cuts made on the surface of the sirloin not only cut off the slightly tough meat tendons, but also allowed the heat to be conducted into the interior faster.

As for the sauce, it is very unique, but it should not be used on steak.

Sure enough, Vincent placed the salted cod, skin side down, into another new pan with melted butter.

After frying for about 3 minutes, he turned over the thick sirloin next to it and put the sauce into the pan with the cod.

Fish meat is particularly not resistant to stewing. Frying it first and then boiling it can make it firmer and prevent the fish from falling apart during the stewing process.

And Vincent was not idle during the waiting period, just like before.

He first blanched the chopped asparagus and then briefly fried the halved potatoes.

The thick sirloin was turned over again and the cod on the other side was also ready.

Place the whole fish on a plate covered with asparagus and sprinkle a little sesame seeds on the surface.

By the time six sides of the thick sirloin are fried, the temperature of the cod has dropped to a level suitable for consumption.

Vincent placed the steak on a plate with fried potatoes, sprinkled it evenly with salt and pepper, and finally put two appetizers and two main courses on a tray.

"JP, I don't know how to make desserts, please arrange it for me."

"no problem."

Vincent untied his apron and walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray.

JP looked at his watch and realized that it was only 15 minutes from the time he came in to the time he left.

15 dishes in 4 minutes, the appearance alone is enough to show how well cooked they are, and the chef hardly stops during the entire process. The knife skills are breathtaking, and just watching him is a satisfying cooking experience.

As for the taste, I guess it won’t be too bad.

The restaurant is on the second floor.

Accompanied by a gorgeous melody that combined both strength and softness, Vincent slowly walked towards Hermione at the table with a tray.

The pianist and violinist were still playing the climax of the famous tango dance Por una Cabeza (One Step Away).

Hermione had tears in her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands. "Did you cook this yourself?"

"Yes." Vincent placed two appetizers and two main dishes on the table. "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Hermione dropped her little hands and shook her head gently at him.

Vincent gently wiped away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips. "It's not like you haven't tasted what I made before. Why are you so moved?"

Hermione's lips curled up slightly, her face full of a happy smile, "This is different, completely different."

Girls pay a lot of attention to occasions and sense of ceremony. How can simply filling their stomachs compare to a formal dinner?

Vincent sat down and said, "Eat it while it's hot, or it will get cold soon."

Hermione picked up the spoon and took a sip of her cream of mushroom soup.

The taste was ordinary, but she thought it was particularly delicious.

She switched to a fork and tasted her salad.

The taste is also very ordinary, but it just tastes particularly good.

Vincent smiled and picked up his knife and fork to cut the thick sirloin steak.

The inside is tender pink and is medium-rare.

He cut off a small piece and handed it to Hermione on a fork.

The taste was still ordinary, but she just thought it was delicious.

Vincent cut off a small piece of cod and handed it to her with the fork.

The taste is quite spicy, but still very delicious.

Hermione also picked up a piece of cut steak with a fork and handed it to his mouth, "Don't just focus on me, eat more too."

The intimate behavior between the two made the pianist and the violinist smile at each other.

The music gradually becomes lighter after a high-pitched turn.

Love Story Theme, the theme song of the classic American movie "Love Story" in the 70s.

Vincent and Hermione enjoyed their dinner happily with the harmonious performance of piano and violin.

When the two of them finished their cream of mushroom soup, JP came upstairs with dessert.

One caramel pudding and one soufflé.

JP cleared the empty plates and gently placed two exquisite desserts on the table.

"You two, please use it slowly."

Hermione habitually scooped a spoonful of pudding and handed it to Vincent's mouth.

It was very sweet, even sweeter than the Pavlova cake that Chef Ramsay made last time.

Vincent also scooped a spoonful of soufflé and handed it to her mouth.

The two desserts disappeared little by little as they were fed to each other.

Dinner was over and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

The two went downstairs to pay the bill, said hello to JP and left the restaurant.

With a roar of the engine, the royal blue Bugatti drove towards the road to Manchester.

Hermione, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quietly looked at Vincent's profile as he concentrated on driving.

From time to time she would blush and shyly look away, but would soon look back again.

Feeling surprised, Vincent asked casually, "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Hermione shook her head, "I just think you look particularly beautiful today."

Vincent glanced at himself in the rearview mirror. "Isn't it the same as usual?"

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Completely different, okay."

Vincent was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.

It’s just a more formal dinner cooked by myself, and the taste is not even as good as that of a small street restaurant.

Girls are actually very easy to satisfy, but if they are too easily satisfied, they will not be cherished by others.

His heart was warm, "You look particularly good today, too."

Hermione shyly met his blue eyes, "Thank you."

"I'm serious." Vincent held her hand, "You look really good today."

Her little face flushed instantly, but her eyes did not leave his.

"You...you should concentrate on driving."

Vincent held her struggling little hand tightly and said, "Okay, but don't move."

Shy Hermione held his big hand in return and said "hmm" softly.

Manchester is not far from London, but it is not very close either.

At the end of an hour's drive, the royal blue Bugatti stopped outside Granger's house.

Hermione reluctantly let go of her hand and watched Vincent walk around to the passenger seat and open the door for her.

He’s really sweet and attentive.

She took his hand and got out of the car. As soon as she stood up, she suddenly stretched out her hands, stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck.

Vincent was a little confused, and then he felt a soft touch on his lips.

Her kiss was light and quick, just a touch of her lips against his.

"I... I'll go back first..." She hurriedly ran to the door of her house.

Perhaps she was too nervous, and it took her a long time to take out the key from her bag.

Vincent stood there quietly, watching her insert the key into the door lock with difficulty. It took her several tries before she successfully opened the door and quickly got in.

She was getting bolder and bolder, and she even dared to give her first kiss on her own initiative.

He laughed at himself and got back into the car.

The smile on his face grew warmer before he started the car.

In fact, it’s good to have a proactive girlfriend, which means she really likes you.

On the other side of the door, Hermione leaned against it, breathing rapidly.

Her slender fingertips gently touched her lips, and her rosy little face instantly became even hotter.
