Hogwarts: Storm Chaser
Chapter 121: Composting Nepenthes
Adhering to the principle of not wasting, they fed the remaining food to a plant in the corner of the magic research room.
This is composted pitcher plant, one of the products that Professor Sprout cultivated and prepared for sale.
Its appearance is similar to that of a pitcher plant.
But unlike ordinary pitcher plants, its main stem is lignified and can support itself without the need to cling to external objects.
Under the cultivation of Professor Sprout, it changed from a vine to a woody plant.
The pitcher plants in Ralph's laboratory are about 1.5 meters high, and most of their traps are lower pitchers.
Different from ordinary traps, the traps of compost pitcher plants are large, thick and heavy.
The leaves that grow into traps have the magic of reducing gravity flowing through them.
Its overall color is green, the cover and lips of the cage are bright red, and the body of the cage is a dull yellow.
Ralph and the others poured the remaining food into the trap. Dense honey secreted from the bottom of the trap cover, and two tooth-like structures formed at the base of the cover.
This is the honey secreted after receiving food. It is sweet but not greasy, and even somewhat refreshing.
Professor Sprout specifically set up this mechanism to prevent wizarding families from treating it only as an ornamental plant and forgetting its true function.
Severus took out a small test tube from his pocket and carefully took the honeydew.
At the same time, the composted pitcher plants release a fragrance, like the forest after the rain, cool and comfortable.
After sensing something entering the cage, the pitcher plant wall begins to release digestive juices to digest the items.
Some things that cannot be digested will be wrapped and eroded by a substance in the digestive juice, and eventually turn into a green and transparent crystal.
Nepenthes cannot expel these crystals on their own and must rely on wizards to help them take them out.
If accumulated inside for a long time, the trap will die and fall to the ground.
The fallen trap turns into soil, but the crystals remain.
But it will grow back.
These crystals are also good materials and can be used as fertilizers, potion materials, etc.
After the trap has digested what can be digested, it will absorb the nutrients and transport them throughout the body, mainly the roots.
Its roots release nutrients into the surrounding soil, increasing soil fertility.
Professor Sprout would often go to their magic research room to change the soil for Nepenthes.
If the soil is not changed for a long time, the pitcher plant may "burn" itself to death because the soil fertility is too high.
The deans, like the principal and vice-principal, have the right to freely enter and leave the students' magic research rooms.
Mainly to prevent the dangerous incident like Ralph's last time and to provide timely rescue.
After disposing of the remaining food, they checked the anti-preservation potion again.
It hasn't reached the first layer of color change yet. It seems that the freshness preservation function is OK. I wonder if it will turn gray overnight?
They looked at the standards set and felt that the participants were a bit off.
After some discussion, they decided to let Ralph cook five groups of fresh vegetables, taste them directly to the students and get the results.
This time, they strongly requested that Ralph use electrified fresh vegetables.
It's a pity that the fire-flavored fresh food cultivated by Professor Sprout is not yet open to the public. The "Slug" Magic Research Laboratory must have allocated quota, otherwise, they can also taste it.
It's getting late today, so we can only wait until tomorrow.
However, tomorrow morning, Lily, Pandora and Severus promised Ralph and the others to help them review their homework.
It seems that I can only relax in the afternoon, and I have to go to bed at noon.
The next afternoon, it was Sunday, the weather was gloomy and there was light snow.
After resting, a few people came to the Slug Demon Research Room.
In response to their request, Ralph specially used charged fresh vegetables as the main ingredient this time, and wrapped the fresh vegetables with a layer of corn flour.
Put them in the air cooker and fry them. The golden and crispy appearance is very beautiful and they look very delicious.
Several people began to assign tasks, and Crowder prepared a form in advance to make it easier for them to count the number of people.
Ralph was in charge of various professors and the principal;
Pandora took William to take charge of her own academy;
Lily was in charge of the Gryffindor common room;
Severus was in charge of Slytherin;
Cloud and Daniel are in charge of Hufflepuff.
The professors were very happy when they saw the food delivered by Ralph, and did not reject Ralph's request.
After carefully tasting five groups of food, they told Ralph what they felt. At the same time, they also did not hesitate to praise Ralph's cooking skills and innovation ability, after knowing that this was electric fresh food.
Office of the Head of Ravenclaw.
Professor Flitwick gave the answer. It seems that the professor is the kind of person who has a heavy taste.
"Professor, can you help deliver Principal Dumbledore's share? The principal's office needs the password."
Ralph asked.
"The password is Bee Bee Sugar, and the student will cook for him himself. Albus will definitely be very happy."
Professor Flitwick looked at Ralph with a smile and said.
"Okay, thank you, Professor."
Ralph thanked him.
"You're welcome, Ralph. The principal is waiting for you."
After bidding farewell to Professor Flitwick, Ralph went to the Headmaster's office.
"Password!"
asked the Gargoyle.
"Sizzling Bee Candy."
The gargoyle jumped to the side, and the wall behind it cracked.
A spiral staircase hidden in the back that slowly moved upward was revealed to Ralph, and he walked away curiously.
The walls closed, smooth as new, and the gargoyle returned to its position.
"Dongdongdong~"
Ralph knocked on the door in front of him. It opened automatically and he walked in.
Albus was sitting in front of the huge table, looking at Ralph gently.
The table legs are claw-shaped, with some books stacked on them. On the shelf behind the table, there is a tattered and wrinkled Sorting Hat hanging.

Fox was perching on a branch beside the table, tilting his head and looking at Ralph.
Ralph came in and scanned the room curiously.
This is a spacious, beautiful round room, full of all kinds of funny little sounds.
On the table with slender legs, there were many strange silverwares placed, spinning and emitting small puffs of smoke.
The walls are covered with portraits of old principals, both men and women, snoring gently in their respective frames.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Principal."
Ralph greeted Albus politely.
"Hello, Ralph."
Albus responded gently.
Ralph directly talked about his purpose of coming, and also described the materials and process of making this food.
Fox swallowed directly, straightened his head, and looked directly at Ralph, full of longing.
Albus' eyes were also slightly bright.
"It's my pleasure, Ralph. I can't wait."
When Ralph finished speaking, Albus took the call.
"Oh, and Fox. You don't mind if he joins your reference range."
Fawkes chirped at Albus, who added.
"Of course I don't mind. I hope you like it."
Ralph said happily, and with a slight wave of his hand, five large bowls of fresh food floated out from a small cloth bag.
A scent of fragrance hit him, and Albus couldn't help but swallow.
