Now That's Authentic
"I just love to eat!" Kurama struggled to turn over, sobbing as he said, "You poor thing, you've been with me since you were little, I raised you with my bare hands and feet, and now I want to eat a duck, and you won't even give it to me..."
"You're kidding me," Su Yu flicked Kurama Fox on the forehead again, his playful mood rising, "Today I'll show you how East University eats duck! That's what you call authentic!"
The girls present stared speechlessly at Su Yu; he'd only just stood up and was already acting like a big shot. Only Kurama looked at him with adoration; she genuinely wanted to learn...
The young Malfoy and his companions also looked over, and Callis looked at Su Yu with great curiosity. They were particularly curious about East University and wanted to see how Su Yu would perform.
Su Yu cleared his throat, then casually sat down in a chair. "Come on, today I'll show you how our local cancer cells are eaten! Ha, that's amazing!"
"Clean it up yourself..." Ka-jie said without even looking up.
"Hey... uh... I was just putting on a show... that's what the hooligans around here do..." Su Yu awkwardly waved his wand to clean it up.
"Waiter! Uh... no, the Egg Beater!" Su Yu tapped the table with his wand erratically.
"Young Master!" The Egg Beater appeared instantly in front of Su Yu, bending over and waiting for Su Yu to speak.
"At this point, we need to give him two big slaps!" Su Yu explained while rolling up his sleeves. He didn't have an Egg Beater, but he portrayed the spoiled brat's demeanor perfectly.
"Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen someone beat up the cook before eating. What's going on?" Malfoy looked at the others in surprise.
"This is what they call 'no fight, no friendship'!" Su Yu slammed his magic wand on the table with a loud bang, just like he would a fan.
"Let me tell you! Egg Beater, same old rules, one duck! Write on it first, then bake it~"
"Yes, Master." The Egg Beater disappeared.
"Why do we still need to write?" Pansy asked hurriedly.
"It must be for drawing talismans! It'll taste even better with talismans on!" Kurama excitedly interjected.
"Actually, I don't know why either. They said it's to prevent switching out the goods. What store would do that? I guess it's just for show..." Su Yu didn't know why either; he just knew that's what they did.
A moment later, the Egg Beater brought out a raw duck and placed it in front of Su Yu. Su Yu used a pen dipped in sugar water to write the character "Su," and said, "Then, bring four cold dishes with wine, four hot dishes with rice! And a bottle of brandy~"
"Wow, so sophisticated!" Blaise exclaimed.
"I haven't finished yet," Su Yu waved his hand, "The four cold dishes are braised duck gizzards, mixed duck feet, pickled duck hearts, and salted duck liver! The four hot stir-fries are stir-fried duck intestines, braised duck pancreas, roasted duck hearts, and braised duck four treasures!"
"What is all this...?" Fa-jie was speechless; there wasn't a single thing she wanted to eat...
"As expected, the master is very particular; these dishes are exactly the same as the recipes that were sent!" the Egg Beater complimented, burying its head deeply in its lap.
"Why do we have to drink brandy? Brandy is brandy, why do we have to pronounce it like that?" Hermione mimicked Su Yu's mannerisms, repeating it over and over.
"That's what you call style! That's what you call authentic!" Su Yu had almost stretched his feet onto the table, but after being glared at by Daphne, he sheepishly pulled them back.
"Brand~" Kurama learned earnestly.
Ka-jie finally raised her head, and flicked each of them on the forehead, "You don't learn any good things, but you learn all the bad things. Do you know what kind of person would do that? And you just follow suit? And you, you don't teach her anything good, but you teach Kurama Fox all sorts of nonsense. Do you think she's not troublesome enough already?"
The human and the fox squatted on the ground, covering their heads. Kurama Fox angrily stomped on Su Yu's foot.
By evening, news of Su Yu's actions at noon had spread, and the entire Hogwarts Academy was filled with shouts of "Give me a glass of brandy!"
It even evolved into the famous meme, "You're using the wrong glass for drinking brandy."
So that night, Su Yu slept with Kurama in his arms outside the Slytherin common room. Malfoy and the others didn't dare to persuade him, and could only bring Su Yu and Kurama a blanket to prevent the Master from getting cold at night.
But what about our Chief Su Yu? Of course, he wouldn't just obediently stay at the entrance of the lounge. Fa-jie and the other girls all guessed what he would do, which is why they punished him by making him sleep at the entrance of the lounge.
Su Yu casually tossed Kurama to Hermione, asking her to take it back to the Gryffindor Common Room for the time being, then dusted himself off and headed towards the teachers' quarters at Isolde.
Everyone in the school knew Kurama, so when Hermione carried Kurama back to the Gryffindor Common Room, it didn't cause much of a commotion. Ginny even snatched Kurama away and joined the Weasley twins ' Champion Party 2.0! A group of students danced wildly with a fox in the common room, ate snacks, and partied until midnight, until Hermione couldn't take it anymore, grabbed Kurama by the scruff of her neck, and carried her back to her room to sleep.
Su Yu was busy with "tutoring" until midnight before her Divination teacher allowed her to rest. This change of identity excited Isolde greatly. Even after Su Yu had finished washing up, Isolde was still smoking.
Like Su Yu, Harry and Neville were also unlucky. Harry was ostracized by everyone again. People said that they were hypocritical and cheated. They said they didn't want to participate, but they still secretly voted and even changed the Goblet of Fire, which allowed four Gryffindor Champion to enter the competition.
Harry has finally lost Ron, and he's been incredibly bored these past few days. He thought his best friend would be the one who trusted him the most, but who knew that his best friend would be the one who doubted him the most? Hermione Tenten playing with Su Yu and the others, and now Harry doesn't even have anyone to talk to.
Neville remained the same; he didn't care much about what others thought. He wrote a letter to his mother telling her about being selected as Champion. He said he hadn't originally planned to participate in the Eight-Way Championship because he still had many shortcomings and was working hard to catch up with Su Yu and the others. But something strange happened, and he was selected. However, he was fine with being selected. He would definitely work twice as hard during this time. He wanted to become stronger, at least not to hold the team back. He believed his mother and father would understand him.
Neville's parents didn't disappoint him. They were overjoyed that their little man had been chosen. Upon hearing the news, his father even picked up his mother and spun her around! They told Neville that they would always stand behind Neville, supporting and encouraging him. They also said they would come to watch their little hero compete. Neville's mother brought Neville lots of snacks to encourage Neville to bravely charge forward!
