Chapter 19: Tomorrow's Performance...... mermaid
Carlos invites Rove to a shark tasting, and the boy gladly accepts.
But he soon regretted it again.
Rove had the darkest dish he'd ever eaten, and with the exception of the famous stargazing dish in England, Hagrid's rock crust was Hagrid's.
But these two foods are actually okay in appearance, and at most you can know what a groove it is when you enter the mouth.
The shark meat prepared by Carlos was different, and when it was served, Rove looked at the miserable white shark meat in a sealed glass jar, and just glanced at it, and he lost his appetite.
Even here, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and even looked at the glass cover, he still wondered, could this be a special method to preserve the aroma?
But as Carlos opened the jar, Rove finally understood why it was sealed, because ...... Stink!
That smell has to be described...... It's similar to the pungent smell of urine and vomit mixed together in a trash can on a hot summer day.
"Merlin's Gift Crab!" Rove was about to suffocate, he covered his nose and said, "What did you put in there?"
"Nothing, just shark meat, but ......," Carlos took a deep breath and laughed, "It's Icelandic way."
"Icelandic way?!"
"It's just burying the shark meat in the ground and fermenting for a few months, the shark meat forms a texture and emits an ammonia smell, and it can be taken out and eaten."
「……」
"Of course, we don't have to go through the hassle of months if we have magic." Carlos said with a look of enjoyment, "It will be fermented in a few hours."
"Can I eat this?" Rove frowned.
"Rov, it looks like you haven't tasted shark meat." Carlos laughed:
"Sharks don't have kidneys, the uric acid in the body will keep accumulating, its meat is poisonous, and if you eat fresh, it will have problems.
Rotting and fermentation is the best way to detoxify shark meat."
Rove pursed his lips with a look of disgust.
"Give it a try." "It's my favorite food, and every time I drive the Mayflower and pass through Reykjavík, I have a full meal," says Carlos Amway.
Carlos said, scooping up a piece of shark meat with a spoon, dipping it in mustard and chewing it in his mouth, a satisfied smile on his face.
Rove hesitated, is it really so delicious?
"Taste it." Carlos brought himself a bottle of rum, which he grunted, wiped his mouth, and urged:
"Don't worry, it smells, but it smells."
Rove remembered the stinky tofu and snail noodles from his hometown, and he believed it, picked up a piece of shark meat, and put it in his mouth.
He...... Vomit!
The pungent and choking smell instantly rushed into Rove's throat, it was more like an unknown object salvaged from the toilet, it stinked so inhumane, and it was eager to pinch the taste buds to death as soon as he entered it.
"I'm going to the restaurant." Rove spat the shark meat in the trash, stood up and said, "Go back now, you still have to make it to dinner."
"Don't go, I don't like this, there are other foods." Carlos hurriedly said.
Soon, the house-elves served a mellow oyster soup, followed by herring and roasted turkey with tortillas.
….
When the food was normal, Rove sat down again, and he used his magic to make himself unable to smell the smell and began to eat dinner.
Carlos and Rove talked about interesting things at sea and, of course, not forgetting to promote his granddaughter who went to school in Yinfamorny.

It's just chatting, but there's something else.
"I'm worried that you're young and vigorous, and you can't get used to watching the mysterious circus, and you'll have a conflict with the other party." Carlos smoked a cigar as the aromatic, rich blue-gray smoke swirled through the air.
Rove was silent and did not speak.
He had heard Newt talk about the Mystic Circus, which was the property of the Skander family.
This family is similar to the Scamander family, and also collects all kinds of magical creatures, but unlike Newt, who wants to protect and perpetuate endangered species, Skander is here to make money.
They domesticate fantastic beasts, perform all over the world, and even have deformed shows for the sake of the show.
What is a freak show?
Two-headed and three-headed deformed magical creatures are sparse, and they also have a variety of hybrids between humans and other magical creatures:
Half-breed house-elves, centaurs, Muggles...... They are all poor guys who are not accepted by society.
Nagini, who was tormented by the blood curse, was captured by the mysterious circus and used as an actor.
"Carlos, you think too highly of me." Rove suddenly smiled and said softly, "I'm just a little wizard, and I don't have the ability to conflict with other people's circuses."
"Rov, don't say that." Carlos pulled the lit cigar out of his mouth, shook his head, and said:
"I know you're good, and I knew you were going to deal with Cabroon that night...... But I'm still worried about you."
"Don't worry, I'm not that nosy." Rove said calmly.
Carlos breathed a sigh of relief, his gray eyebrows drooping low, and he sighed, "That's good."
Everyone knows that the mysterious circus has abusive behavior for the sake of performance, and even there are doubts about how those deformed creatures came to be.
Scamander and Skander are both magical creatures, and Carlos doesn't want the two to clash.
He didn't want to offend Skander, let alone Scamander, especially the talented boy in front of him, who had a great future.
……
……
After Rove left the room, he found that there were no wizards in the first class, but at this point in time, dinner should have ended.
The boy thought for a moment and walked towards the dining room, but before he could arrive, he heard a deafening cheer.
A house-elf standing at the door, when he saw Rove, immediately opened the two withered wooden doors facing each other.
Rove entered the dining room, looked up and saw that the tables had been removed and everyone was gathered around to watch the show.
Music, laughter, and conversation roared through the room, and the circus was at its climax.
One banner reads:
Mystery Circus – Monsters and Strange People!
A half-human troll, standing on a balance beam and performing a series of ugly somersaults, is obviously clumsy, but never falls...... This contrast was applauded and applauded by the audience.
The half-blood elves walked around, hats in hand, and begged the audience for money.
A middle-aged wizard shouted, "Tomorrow's show...... Mermaid!"
Rove suddenly looked up.
……
……
I was expelled from Hogwarts?.
