Carlos invited Rolf to taste the shark meat, and the boy happily accepted the invitation.
But he soon regretted it.
The darkest dish that Rolf had ever tasted before, apart from the famous British dish of looking up at the stars, was Hagrid's rock biscuits.
But these two kinds of food are actually not bad in appearance. Only after you eat them will you know how bad they are.
The shark meat prepared by Carlos was different. When it was served, Rove looked at the pale shark meat in a sealed glass jar. Just one look at it and he lost his appetite.
Even here, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Even looking at the glass cover, he was still thinking, is this a special method to preserve the aroma?
But as Carlos opened the jar, Rove finally understood why it had to be sealed, because... it stunk!
I have to describe the smell... It's probably similar to the pungent smell of urine and vomit mixed together in a trash can on a hot summer day.
"Merlin's gift crab!" Rolf almost suffocated. He covered his nose and said, "What did you add in it?"
"Nothing is added, just shark meat, but..." Carlos took a deep breath of the smell and said with a smile, "This is the Icelandic way."
"The Icelandic way?!"
"The shark meat is buried underground and fermented for a few months. The texture of the shark meat will form and the smell of ammonia will emit, and then it can be eaten."
"..."
"Of course, we have magic and it doesn't take a few months." Carlos said with a look of enjoyment: "The fermentation can be successful in a few hours."
"Can this thing be eaten?" Luofu frowned.
"Rolph, it seems you have never tasted shark meat." Carlos laughed and said:
"Shark has no kidneys, and uric acid in the body will continue to accumulate. Its meat is poisonous. If you eat it fresh, it will cause problems.
Rotting and fermentation is the best way to detoxify shark meat.”
Luofu curled his lips, with a look of disgust on his face.
"Give it a try." Carlos Ainley said: "This is my favorite food. Every time I drive the Mayflower and pass Reykjavik, I will have a full meal."
Carlos said, scooping up a piece of shark meat with a spoon, dipping it in mustard, then putting it in his mouth and chewing it carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Luo Fu was a little hesitant. Is it really so delicious?
"Have a try." Carlos got himself a bottle of rum, drank it, wiped his mouth, and urged:
"Don't worry, it smells bad but tastes delicious."
Luofu thought of the stinky tofu and snail noodles in his hometown. He believed them and picked up a piece of shark meat and put it in his mouth.
He... vomit!
The pungent and choking smell rushed into Luofu's throat instantly. It was more like an unknown object salvaged from the toilet. It was so stinky that it was so inhumane that it made you want to crush your taste buds to death as soon as you took it in.
"I'm going to the restaurant." Luofu spat the shark meat into the trash can, stood up and said, "Go back now, and you still have to make it in time for dinner."
"Don't leave. If you don't like this, there are other foods." Carlos said quickly.
Soon, the house elf served a rich oyster soup, followed by herring and roasted tender turkey with corn pie.
….
After the food was normal, Rolf sat down again. He used magic to make himself unable to smell, and began to eat dinner.
Carlos and Rolph chatted about interesting things at sea, and of course, they did not forget to promote his granddaughter who was studying in Yinfamouni.

It's just chatting, but there are other things.
"I'm worried that you are young and energetic and may not like the Mystery Circus and may conflict with it." Carlos smoked a cigar, and the fragrant and rich blue-gray smoke spread in the air.
Luofu remained silent and did not speak.
He had heard Newt mention the Mystic Circus, which was owned by the Skander family.
This family is similar to the Scamander family in that they also collect various magical creatures, but unlike Newt who wants to protect and perpetuate endangered species, Skander does it to make money.
They domesticate magical animals and perform performances all over the world, and even perform freak shows for the sake of show effect.
What is a freak show?
Two-headed and three-headed deformed magical creatures are common, and there are also various hybrids of humans and other magical creatures:
Half-blood house elves, half-human trolls, Muggle beasts... they are all pitiful guys who are not accepted by society.
Nagini, who was tortured by the blood curse, was captured by the mysterious circus and used as an actress.
"Carlos, you think so highly of me." Rolf suddenly smiled and said softly: "I'm just a little wizard, I don't have the ability to conflict with other people's circuses."
"Rolph, don't say that." Carlos took out the burning cigar from his mouth and shook his head:
"I know you are very powerful. I knew it when you went to fight Cabronosaurus that night...but I am still worried that you will suffer a loss."
"Don't worry, I'm not that nosy." Luo Fu said calmly.
Carlos took a breath, his gray eyebrows lowered, and he sighed: "That's good."
Everyone knows that the Mysterious Circus engages in abusive behavior in order to perform, and there are even doubts about where the deformed creatures came from.
Scamander and Skander both deal with magical creatures, and Carlos doesn't want a conflict between them.
He didn't want to offend Skander, let alone Scamander, especially the talented young man in front of him, who had a great future.
…
…
After Rove left the room, he found that there was no wizard in the first class cabin, but at this time, the dinner should have been over.
The young man thought for a while and walked towards the restaurant. Before he arrived, he heard deafening cheers.
A house elf standing at the door immediately opened the two facing wooden doors after seeing Rolf.
Luofu entered the restaurant, looked up and looked around, and found that the tables had been removed and everyone was gathered around to watch the performance.
Music, laughter and chatter roared through the room as the circus performance reached its climax.
One banner read:
Mystery Circus - Monsters and Oddities!
A half-human giant monster stood on a balance beam and made a series of ugly tumbling movements. It was obviously very clumsy, but it never fell down... This contrast received cheers and applause from the audience.
The half-blood elf walked around, holding a hat, asking the audience for money.
A middle-aged wizard said loudly: "Tomorrow's show...Mermaid!"
