"Eh? When did this house become so new? And there are so many dining tables?" Ivan, the rock troll who returned from quarrying outside, stared at the brand new house next door and the tables and chairs in the yard. , said with a surprised look on his face.
"Maybe we have a new neighbor. This house has been abandoned for a long time, and I don't know who moved in." Ivan's wife Jimina was holding a big turtle and looking towards the yard.
"Forget it, we don't have the tradition of greeting our neighbors on the island anyway. If we have a bad neighbor, he might get us into trouble." Ivan shook his head and strode towards his yard.
"Same." Jimina nodded and followed Ivan through the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, a little rock troll ran out of the house recklessly. His clumsy rock thighs failed to cross the threshold and fell to the ground with a snap, leaving a hole in the ground. He was unscathed. Climbing up, looking at the big turtle in Jimina's hand, she suddenly said with some disappointment: "It's a big turtle again, it's a big turtle every day, we're all going to become big turtles."
Ivan reached out and touched the little devil's head and said: "Justin, my father will buy you other delicious food tomorrow. Let's eat turtles first today. The turtles made by your mother are delicious. One big turtle is enough for us." Eat for a day.”
"You said the same thing yesterday, and you said the same thing the day before yesterday, but we still eat turtles every day, and we always stew turtles. We eat them all day long. I might as well be eating rocks." Justin snorted and complained.
Ivan's expression froze, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Jimina, and murmured not knowing how to answer.
Jimina knows how to stew turtles, what can he do? He is also desperate.
"What, Justin, do you think the turtles I made are not delicious?" Jimina's face turned cold, and her brown-green eyes stared at Justin.
Justin, who was still aggressive at first, suddenly became frightened, and said weakly with some evasive eyes: "No... no, mother, I just think... I think we can eat something else, or go out for a meal..."
"Eat something else? Eat out? Is there anything better than stewed turtles in the world? Is there anyone who can cook better than me?" Jimina looked ridiculous and turned to look at Ivan, " Do you think there is one?"
Ivan felt the death gaze, and even though his conscience hurt, he still shook his head firmly and said: "No."
"Father, you traitor!" Justin looked at Ivan with some disgust. It was clearly him who suggested him to do this yesterday, but he actually gave up when the matter came to pass.
"Have you seen it? Even your well-informed father said no." A somewhat proud smile appeared on Jimina's face. She put the big turtle in her hand on the ground and commanded: "Go, take out the cauldron." , I’m going to show off my real cooking skills and stew a pot of delicious turtles for you.”
Ivan and Justin, who failed to fight, had no choice but to walk into the house and quickly carried a large pot out. In the center of the yard, there was a simple stove made of three large stones.
"Let's have grilled fish and shrimp tonight." At this moment, a voice came from the yard next door.
Mag came out with a grill and placed it on the open space in the center of the yard while talking to Irina and Amy who were carrying the ingredients.
"I want to eat meat, barbecue meat!" Amy raised her little hand and said.
"Meow~" The ugly duckling squatting at Amy's feet raised a small paw in agreement.
"Okay, I'll prepare some beef skewers later." Mag nodded with a smile. Today's dinner theme is open-air barbecue, which makes him a little regretful that he didn't choose a beach house today. After all, it's definitely a barbecue facing the sea. More comfortable.
"A new neighbor?" Hearing the sound in the yard next door, the Rock Troll family, who were busy lighting a fire, stood up and looked at the yard next door curiously.
Ivan and Jimina are both over three meters tall, and even the little guy Justin is 1.5 meters tall. The one-meter-plus railings cannot block their sight at all.
A young strange devil, a beautiful female devil, and a cute and petite little devil. This family of three must be the new neighbors who just moved in today.
However, Ivan and Justin's eyes have been completely attracted by the prawns and big fish placed on the table nearby. The fish and shrimp marinated in seasonings exude the aroma of spices before they are cooked, which is only suitable for daily condiments. For families who eat salt, it is simply a fatal temptation.
Mag also noticed the three rock trolls standing in the yard next door, and said with a smile: "Hello, we just moved here today."
"Hello, I am Jimina, this is Ivan, and this is our child Justin." Jimina responded, introducing her family by the way. This new neighbor seemed to be easy to deal with.
"I am Hades, this is my wife Ina, and this is our child Xiao Ai." Mag also introduced himself with a smile. The first step to integrate into the Shell Island is to establish a friendly relationship with the neighbors. step.
"Hello." Amy waved her little hand to everyone.
"So cute!" Ivan and Jimina's eyes lit up. Then they looked at Justin. They looked at each other and seemed to have reached a certain consensus. It seemed that they needed to create a new daughter.
After saying hello, the rock troll family continued to live and cook without having much communication with Mag and the others. On Carapace Island, the devils would not trust any devils except their family members.
"Mom, I saw big fish and prawns on their plates. They looked delicious." Justin swallowed.
Ivan watched secretly from the sidelines.
Jimina smiled contemptuously and said: "Humph, what's so delicious about those things? They all stew out a fishy smell. Only the stewed turtle tastes the most delicious. I'll finish the soup later. , they must be extremely envious."
Justin and Ivan looked at each other. We don't know whether the neighbor's fish and shrimp are better than stewed turtles. We don't dare to say, and we don't dare to ask.
After cleaning the turtle, he threw it into a pot of water, sprinkled it with a handful of natural sea salt, and then closed the pot lid. Jimina clapped her hands with a relaxed look on her face.
Okay, now you just need to wait for the delicious food to come out of the pot. Such a perfect and complicated method of stewing turtles. Among the rock trolls, only a smart and virtuous female devil like her can master it. There are many of their tribesmen now. Still eating rocks.
Mag next door also burned the charcoal with Amy's help, coated the grill with a layer of oil, and then put the grilled fish that had been marinated in advance on the grill.
"laugh"
There was a wonderful soft sound, and the skin of the big fish sizzled with oil. The aroma of the fish meat and spices began to gradually release, drifting to the yard next door.
