Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 911 "Biteme"

For Egypt, which is dominated by agriculture, locust plagues and hail will definitely affect the harvest. In addition, the "red tide" killed all the fish in the Nile, and the plague of animals also killed a large number of livestock. The year the Israelis left Egypt, Egypt People should have a bad life.

  Food is what mankind is most accustomed to every day, but the world’s diet in peacetime is completely different from natural and man-made disasters.

The vampire Giovanni lives on the island of Giudecca. If the island of Venice is shaped like a fish, Giudecca is like a "fish-filled plate" that is a bit too small. The transportation here is not convenient. If you don’t have your own It’s difficult to get here as soon as the water bus stops, which is very inconvenient for tourists who want to enjoy Venice’s nightlife.

  Even if a few churches are included, it is difficult to find a conspicuous landmark on Giudecca Island, which is the least distinctive among the series of islands in Venice.

  But before the 20th century, it used to be the back garden of the wealthy people in Venice. Many palaces and private gardens are located on the island for summer vacations and gatherings.

  The wedding in Ghana drawn by Paul Veronese may be inspired by these rich people’s banquets.

  Beautiful and healthy characters, gorgeous costumes, magnificent buildings, gorgeous decorations and utensils, which are different from the strict format and color used in religious oil paintings.

  He even painted clowns, alcoholics, Germans, dwarfs, and other village folks in other paintings. Adding secular things to religious paintings is to go to the religious court. In fact, Paul Veronese was also summoned.

   In 1572, Veronese was accused of painting a dog on this painting "The Banquet at the House of Levi", which was painted for the cafeteria of St. Paul's Monastery.

This is a great blasphemy. The abbot of St. Paul asked him to paint Mary Magdalene. For the honor of his art, he was willing to do anything that must be done, but he did not understand why he painted there. The last Magdalene would be suitable.

  The original theme of the painting was The Last Supper. Later, in order to avoid trouble, he renamed the painting "Banquet at Levi's House" to end the turmoil.

  In the dinner painting, Veronese also added the man who was holding his nose and bleeding. He wanted to portray a servant whose nose was bleeding because of an accident.

In the painting, there are two heavily armed soldiers with halberds in their hands and dressed like Germans. One is drinking and the other is eating on the nearby steps. The family who entertained **** and his disciples is rich and powerful, and should have For many servants, Veronese felt that the painting was reasonable.

  There is another person who is dressed like a clown with a parrot on his wrist. He exists for decoration and expresses the painter’s "poetic presumptuous".

  Compared with Titian’s thoughtful works, Veronese’s specialization in depicting happy and lively scenes is full of life, very flashy and relaxed, without the ascetic and desertedness of Rome.

There are several paintings of Veronese on the wall of the vampire Giovanni’s house, both authentic and fake. When he became a vampire, although Veronese was dead, the paintings of Veronese were not as they are now. So expensive.

  There are many collections in his home, including Egyptian ones, not only sculptures, but also coffins.

  Vampires need to sleep in a coffin, what better disguise than this?

  The windows of Giovanni’s house were still closed even during the day, but the room was brightly lit. The "blood slave" Simeon he raised was a very young and beautiful Slovenian boy. He has black curly hair, but he is not tanned by the Mediterranean sun like a normal Latin boy.

  He is a child of refugees from Eastern Europe. Perhaps because of too much experience, his look is different from that of his peers.

  He has a good cooking skill, and his dream is to become a chef in a Michelin restaurant.

  Dairy cows must be carefully raised if they want to produce good milk. Vampires want to drink delicious blood, and they must also allow blood slaves to eat well and rest well. After being picked up by Giovanni, he finally ended the unstable life of wandering on the streets and started to develop in a good direction.

  The main dish he is going to make today is char-grilled crab. After grilling the spider crab just picked up from the lagoon with charcoal, it is eaten with a dipping sauce consisting of caviar, sea urchin and crab paste.

  There are also meatballs. Mixing meatballs with pasta is the American way of eating. Their practice not only spoils the pasta, but also spoils the meatballs.

  Simeon’s method is to mix meatballs with chopped parsley, deep-fry them in yellow, top with chili and garlic sauce, and finally sprinkle with fennel and lemon juice.

  Pomona is responsible for helping him, and living with a vampire upside down in twilight, Simeon’s biological clock is also different from ordinary people.

  Pomona’s previous lunch was very perfunctory, and now she really feels the happiness brought by cooking and food.

When Giovanni came back with a lot of wild porcini mushrooms, Simeon planned to use it to make risotto. Now it is simmered with onions, asparagus, and bacon, even if she is not very hungry. , I feel appetite even after smelling the smell.

  Chocolate ice cream is a classic, but the cherry wine-flavored ice cream is a wonderful attempt. Sprinkled with nuts and placed in a handmade glass made in Venice, it is perfect for both the image and the taste.

  Either Italian or Chinese cuisine is very complicated, but the British have turned them into cheap takeaways. It seems that there is no other cuisine in these two countries except pizza and Kung Pao chicken.

  Then she remembered the scene where she must insist on eating cuttlefish pasta, and she felt very embarrassed. No wonder the locals are not interested in that dish anymore. Why do you want to eat noodles if you have a better meal?

  In the living room outside the kitchen, Giovanni is playing the piano. He is playing Bach.

   Accompanied by that kind of music, she inexplicably feels like she is making works of art.

  Especially after the crabs are grilled and Simeon puts them on the plate, she never thought that roses could also be used for the plate.

  When she left the kitchen and was about to call the two to eat, Severus was looking at things in the study next to the living room.

   "Come and see this." He said with a smirk.

"what is this?"

   "A manuscript of a Francis monk, he seems to have touched a sable." Severus pointed to his big nose and said, "It bit the monk's nose and bleeds for several hours."

  Pomona immediately took the Latin manuscript and looked at it:

When I was working in the herb garden today, I peeled away the perilla and found a large ferret. It did not run away or hide like a normal ferret, but leaped at me and knocked me down on my back. On the ground, and yelled at me "Go away, bald!"

  Then it bit my nose. I shed blood for several hours. The dervish for alms did not believe what I said, but asked me if I drank too much.

Because my nose is swollen, I can’t go to evening prayers. Then I met a painter who paints for the monastery in the cafeteria. We talked about it when we had dinner together. He laughed and said it’s incredible. I don’t know him. What are you laughing at? what's so funny?

   "Oh, my goodness!" Pomona exclaimed.

   "What's wrong?" Severus asked inexplicably.

  Pomona was not sure whether this monk happened to be the bleeding nose person in The Banquet at Levi’s House, but this reminder reminded her of one thing.

  In addition to discussing the Crusades, the International Wizarding Summit in 1692 also discussed the annoying topic of magical animals, which animals should be hidden and not discovered by Muggles.

  At that time, horsemen and merfolk also reluctantly participated. Although they were divided into animals, after 7 weeks of discussion, we finally discussed a result. 27 animals from fire dragon to pandimang will be hidden and will not be discovered by Muggles.

  But the fairies seemed to disagree, but they were forced to accept it when most people agreed.

   "It's dinner." She stuffed the manuscript back to him again.

  Severus held the manuscript with a dazed expression, as if he didn't understand what she was thinking.

  　Where are the magical beasts? I read the book. The original is written in the Jeggal Abbey in Worcestershire, England.

  　　 Sorry, this stalk has been brewing a few volumes ago, and it’s only now shaken out, but my article is a fan fiction, and other fan humanities are more exaggerated than mine, forgive me
