While the students at Hogwarts were having a meeting, someone knocked on the door.
Olivia stood up and motioned for Charles to come with her.
The door opened, and the two visitors were wearing kimonos with mainly red and beautiful patterns, and a pink haori on the outside. At a glance, they knew they were students at a Japanese magic institute.
The team from the magic house arrived later than Charles and the others. As soon as they settled in, they sent people to visit the neighbors with gifts.
Visiting Hogwarts were a pair of twin sisters who looked exactly the same. The elder sister was named Akagi Koko and the younger sister was named Akagi Nakako. They brought a huge snack box.
Olivia was not very familiar with Japanese etiquette, so Charles and the sisters were the ones chirping the whole time.
When leaving, Akagi asked: "Are you Mr. Charles?"
Charles replied curiously: "Do you know me?"
Akagiko said: "Yamada Boguang asked us to send a small gift to Mr. Smith. We will visit you later when you are free."
Charles naturally agreed upon hearing this.
After Olivia and Charles returned, a group of people gathered around the table and curiously looked at what gifts the magic house had sent.
When the snack box is opened, twenty-four great blessings appear in front of everyone.
Charles just explained some Japanese customs, and now he said: "This is a Japanese snack, I don't know what the filling is."
At this time, Spencer suddenly said: "We can't eat it. The magic house also participated in the potion competition. What if they poison it?"
Everyone was shocked and thought, what should I do if I have stomachache and diarrhea during the game?
Seamus asked: "There are still so many days before the competition. If the poison is administered, it won't take effect until then, right?"
Spencer sneered at him and said: "If you want to try it, I can poison you now and wait until the final exam of Potions."
Charles also nodded and said: "What's more scary is that they use compound poisons."
Spencer looked at him with some surprise: "You know about compound poisons? That's something that can only be seen in the restricted book area!"
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Charles.
Charles immediately explained: "I saw it when I was helping Professor Quirrell organize information."
Seamus asked him curiously: "What is compound poison?"
Charles glanced at Spencer and then said after he nodded: "Compound poison is a very complex type of poison. It is composed of several ingredients. It will be fine if you only eat a few of them, but once you eat enough, the toxicity will
It will happen immediately."
Spencer added: "It doesn't have to be eaten. Some of the ingredients are even the smell emitted when certain potions are cooked."
This was the first time for Simo to hear such magical knowledge, and he immediately did not dare to look at those great blessings.
Olivia said to everyone: "Be careful, don't eat what others give you in private. I heard that many people were poisoned during the competition in Kodos Doriz one year ago."
"Oh, it wasn't that time." Spencer shook his head and said, "I asked, it was just that everyone drank too much."
"In addition to not eating indiscriminately, you must also refuse the invitation to drink from the students of Kodos Dorez."
At this point, everyone looked at Charles, he was the only one who knew the girl over there.
Charles just laughed and scratched his head.
Soon it was lunch time. There was a canteen in this community. Olivia announced that she would be free to move around from now on, and those who wanted to eat could go by themselves.
Charles wanted to find Valentina, so he ran away.
When passing Beauxbatons' residence, Fleur just walked out of it. Charles immediately went over with a smile on his face to say hello, but Fleur stood there quietly and looked at him.
At this time, two boys came out of the building and whispered to each other in a "low voice" after seeing them.
"Hey, another idiot attracted to Delacour."
"If he can invite Delacour to lunch, I will give him 10 gold coins!"
Charles and Fleur heard their conversation. Fleur's face changed slightly, but soon returned to the expressionless state before.
Charles walked over and asked Fleur in a mysterious way: "How about we share the 10 gold coins equally?"
After he finished speaking, he realized how unreliable what he just said was.
Before Charles could apologize, Fleur replied: "Okay."
The canteen prepared by Wajidu adopts a buffet style, and the long table is filled with red sausage, sushi, roasted pig's trotters, white-cut chicken, confit duck legs and countless other delicacies from all over the world.
Fleur came back with a lamb saddle steak, a bowl of bouillabaisse and some snacks, and found a strange presence on the plate in front of Charles.
After she sat down, she couldn't help but ask: "What are you eating?"
Charles replied: "Grilled crocodile tail, a local dish. I like traveling very much. Every time I go to a new place, I have to taste the local traditional food. The food contains the development of a place's culture and history, and you can understand the local customs and customs.
."
"For example, French confit duck legs have a history of about 400 years. At that time, it was difficult to preserve meat for a long time. Someone discovered that meat sealed with solidified animal fat could be stored for a long time, so this type of dish
It just appeared."
"When you taste a confit duck leg, you can appreciate not only the duck leg itself and the chef's cooking skills, but also the wisdom of the predecessors."
There was an expression of surprise on Fu Rong's delicate face. After eating confit duck legs for so many years, she didn't expect that there was such a thing behind this cooking method.
Charles gestured to the soup in front of Fleur and continued: "There is also Bouillabaisse, which has a history of about 2,500 years. In the beginning, it was just fish that fishermen on the seaside took out of the sea but were not easy to sell and cooked it themselves.
As time went by, people found various delicious recipes."
“From the time when the Marseille area was inhabited 2,500 years ago until more than a hundred years ago, bouillabaisse was still the food of ordinary fishermen. In the past 100 years, with the economic development of the Marseille area, bouillabaisse has also begun to evolve from
It went out of fishermen's homes, into thousands of households, into high-end restaurants, and into the eyes of more people. In the process, its cooking methods and recipes have also been further developed, and the pace of development has not stopped to this day."

"What's in the soup bowl is thousands of years of history."
After hearing this, Furong glanced at the bouillabaisse in front of her and felt that it was lighting up with colorful lights.
Charles smiled and continued to taste the grilled crocodile tail in front of him.
The crocodile's tail moves frequently, and the meat on it tastes very elastic, not greasy, and tastes a bit like chicken. Charles thought it was pretty good and was very happy to eat it.
But he stopped talking while eating lunch, so a Beauxbatons boy sitting behind him came over and asked him: "Sir, can you say 5 more gold coins..."
Before the boy could finish speaking, he was dragged away by another girl, who kept saying that he had no expression.
Charles turned his head and looked around, and unexpectedly saw Seamus, Eleanor and about ten people watching him from a distance on a table in the distance.
Too lazy to pay attention to those guys, Charles turned back and asked Fleur: "How is Gabrielle lately? I heard your mother said she is not in good health."
Furong had admired his erudition just now, but when she mentioned her sister, her face suddenly turned cold and she asked in a low voice: "Do you have any plans for her?"
Charles replied innocently: "How could I have any intentions? If I had any intentions, could Mrs. Angelina let me go that day?"
Fleur thought the same thing. If this guy had bad intentions, he would have been dealt with by grandma that day.
Her face improved a lot, but she still said a little angrily: "Gabriel knew you were coming here too, so she asked me to deliver a letter to you, so don't worry about it."
Charles thought to himself, if you don’t work hard for the owl, then you should work hard for your sister, right?
He noticed that Fleur was very wary about the topic of Gabrielle, so he changed the subject and asked about Lady Angelina's current situation.
There is no minefield on this topic, so Furong briefly said a few words.
After lunch, Charles followed Fleur back to the building where Beauxbatons lived. Fleur went back and took out Gabrielle's letter from her luggage.
At this time, someone came over and said: "Charles, and this classmate, do you want to go shopping together?"
