Food Street
It took quite a while to straighten out Shanna's messy hair before the little girl finally gave up.
After his routine morning exercise, Bell took his sister and girlfriend out of the Wooden House to take a walk around the neighborhood.
Although they had spent the past month learning magic and watching matches, and had also wandered around the woods quite a bit, today was the day of the Quidditch World Cup Finals.
Not only has the number of wizards increased to an unprecedented level, but the number of vendors selling all kinds of trinkets and souvenirs has also far exceeded that of before.
At just 8 a. m., a spontaneously formed, bustling market appeared in a clearing in the woods.
Walking among the bustling crowd, the three people and two pets curiously looked at the surrounding goods.
It must be said that although these products have virtually no practical value and are of pitifully low technological content, the creativity of the vendors inspired by the Galleon still broadened Bell's horizons.
Unfortunately, none of the three had a favorite team, so among the crowd adorned with all sorts of bizarre souvenirs, the three men, dressed in three neat long trench coats, seemed somewhat out of place.
Incidentally, Bell also made Hermione an identical spiderweb trench coat. Shanna was very unhappy about this. The little girl believed that this style should be unique to her and her brother.
Even the two sets made for her parents had to have their designs altered by Bell under Shanna's tearful onslaught.
However, under Hermione's mournful gaze, Bell couldn't bring himself to change Hermione's outfit as well.
So, after repeated warnings that Shanna was not allowed to burn Hermione's trench coat, the matter was settled.
Suddenly, an enticing aroma wafted over. By this time, the three people had left the souvenir area and entered the food section.
Quidditch, which is popular all over the world, is actually the only sport that is popular in the Western world. Now it is a gathering place for wizards from many countries.
Naturally, these wizards also brought delicacies from different countries.
The vendors at some nearby stalls immediately lit up when they saw Bell and his two companions, or more precisely, Bell and Shanna.
As two true foodies, Bell and Shanna have been eating their way through this entire food street for the past month.
Therefore, these stall owners now know that there is a Britain brother and sister who are generous spenders and have a huge appetite. If they are lucky enough to attract the attention of these siblings, they are sure to make a fortune.
"Shanna, what would you like to eat today?"
Watching the stall owners frantically fanning the three of them, and even some of them casting wind Curses with their Wand, Bell found it both amusing and speechless.
So, could you please stop fanning him, you guys selling kebabs over there? He's so bothered by the smell he wants to punch someone.
"Um..."
Shanna tapped her chin and carefully looked around at the surrounding stalls.
"Let's eat Bulgarian food today. I've heard that the traditional Bulgarian dish, Banitsa, is delicious."
Since the final is between the Scotland National Team and the Bulgaria Team, there are a lot of wizards from Bulgaria today, second only to the British Wizards who have the home advantage.
This has resulted in the wide variety of Bulgarian food available on today's food streets, and most of it is quite authentic.
What? You're asking why the three Bell members, who are clearly Britain, don't eat Scotland food?
Hehe!
What are some good dishes in Scotland? Haggis?
To this day, Bell still vividly remembers the miserable experience of being forced to eat an entire haggis by Penelope.
If a vendor selling haggis were to appear in front of Bell right now, he would have little chance of not throwing an Explosion Curse at him.
They walked up to a stall that smelled the most enticing Banitsa. Under the stall owner's eager gaze, Bell waved his hand dismissively.
"One of each flavor."
The Banitsa on the stall were each the size of a washbasin. A normal adult couldn't finish one in a single meal.
Moreover, there is a wide variety of Banitsa. This stall alone sells meat-based options such as minced meat, sausages, and lamb, as well as vegetarian options including various vegetables and fruits. In total, there are more than 20 different kinds.
"Alright! Please wait a moment, all three of you!"
Upon hearing that Bell and his group wanted to buy an amount that would normally take half a day to sell, the stall owner rubbed his hands excitedly and got to work waving his Wand.
He wanted to use his best skills to make the most delicious Banitsa.
He had learned about this from others. This amount was far from the limit for these "Gluttonous Siblings".
If his Banitsa suits the tastes of the brother and sister, he might be able to pack up and go shopping soon.
By the way, "Gluttonous Siblings" is the nickname that all the stall owners in the Food Street have been using to describe Bell and Shanna over the past month.
It must be said that this stall owner was indeed quite skilled. After waving his Wand and suspending several Banitsa in mid-air, and roasting them with magical flames for a while, a rich and tempting aroma filled the surrounding space.
Bell took a deep breath of the sweet air and asked:
"So, little sister, what can I do for you?"
"..."
(￣￣)
Well, without needing a reply, Bell already knew what this little guy, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wanted from the clear liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Why are you alone? Where are your parents?"
Bell looked at the little girl in front of her with curiosity. She looked to be about 8 or 9 years old.
You see, when Shanna was 8 or 9 years old, Bell wouldn't dare leave her outside alone. What if she got kidnapped?
"..."
The little girl didn't answer Bell's question. She tilted her head and looked at Bell for a while, then reached out and tugged at the hem of Bell's trench coat, while her other little hand pointed to the Banitsa that was about to be baked in mid-air.
Then, the little girl rubbed her tummy and looked at Bell with teary eyes.
(￣￣)
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Bell said in a surrendering manner.
As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the drool from the corner of the little girl's mouth.
If it keeps flowing, my clothes will be soaked through.
After waiting a short while, once the first Banitsa was finished, Bell cut off a small piece from it, used magic to lower the temperature to make sure it wouldn't burn the girl, and then placed it in her hand.
"Eat up. If it's not enough, there'll be plenty more later."
As the saying goes, happiness lies in spreading and food needs to be shared, so Bell was definitely not sharing the food with the little girl just because she was cute and reminded him of Shanna when he was a child.
"Ah~ Ooh!"
The little girl opened her mouth wide, took a big bite of the small piece of Banitsa, and happily ate it.
