"Huh? When did this house become so new? And so many more tables? Ivan, the rock troll who had returned from quarrying outside, stared at the brand-new house next door, and the tables and chairs in the courtyard, and said in amazement.

"Maybe we have a new neighbor, how long has this house been abandoned, and I don't know who moved in." Ivan's wife, Jimina, was carrying a large turtle and was looking out into the yard.

"Forget it, we don't have a tradition of greeting neighbors on our island anyway, and if it's a neighbor with a bad character, maybe we'll get into trouble." Ivan shook his head and strode towards his yard.

"Yes." Jimina nodded and followed Ivan through the door.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, a small rock troll ran out of the house recklessly, the clumsy rock thigh failed to cross the threshold, fell to the ground with a snap, smashed a hole in the ground, got up unscathed, looked at the big sea turtle in Jimina's hand, and suddenly said with some disappointment: "It's a big sea turtle again, every day is a big sea turtle, we are all going to eat a big sea turtle." ”

Ivan stretched out his hand and touched the little devil's head and said, "Justin, tomorrow my father will buy you other delicious food, let's eat turtles today, your mother's turtles are delicious, and a big turtle is enough for us to eat for a day." ”

"You said the same thing yesterday, and the day before yesterday, but we still eat turtles every day, and we always stew turtles, and I might as well eat stones for a day." Justin snorted and grumbled.

Ivan's expression froze, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Jimina, sobbing at the loss of knowing how to answer.

Jimina will stew turtles, what can he do? He's desperate too.

"What, Justin, do you think my turtles don't taste good?" Jimina's face turned cold, and her brownish-green gaze fixed on Justin.

Justin, who was still aggressive, was suddenly stunned, and said weakly with a somewhat evasive gaze: "No...... No, Mother, I just think...... I think we can change something else to eat, or go out for a meal......"

"Eat something else? Going out to eat? Is there anything better in the world than a turtle stew? Is there anyone else who cooks better than me? Jimina looked ridiculous and turned her head to look at Ivan, "You say, is there one?" ”

Ivan felt the death gaze, even if his conscience would hurt, he still shook his head firmly: "No." ”

"Father, you traitor!" Justin glanced at Ivan with some disgust, he obviously proposed to let him do this yesterday, and when it came to the end, he actually coaxed it.

"See, your well-informed father said no." Jimina had a smug smile on her face, put the big turtle in her hand on the ground, and commanded: "Go, take out the cauldron, I'm going to show my real cooking skills and stew a pot of delicious turtles for you." ”

Ivan and Justin, who had failed in the struggle, had no choice but to walk towards the house, and soon carried a large cauldron out, and in the center of the courtyard there was a simple stove made of three large stones.

"Let's have grilled fish and grilled shrimp tonight." Just then, a voice came from the yard next door.

McGonagall walked out with a grill and placed it in the open space in the middle of the yard, talking to Irina and Amy, who were carrying the ingredients.

"I want to eat meat, barbecue!" Amy raised her little hand.

"Meow~" The ugly duckling squatting at Amy's feet raised a small paw paw to second.

"Okay, I'll go prepare some beef skewers later." McGonagall smiled and nodded, the theme of today's dinner was an open-air barbecue, which made him a little regretful that he didn't choose a house by the sea today, after all, it would definitely be more comfortable to barbecue facing the sea.

"A new neighbor?" Hearing the sound of the courtyard next door, the family of rock trolls who were busy lighting the fire got up one after another and looked towards the courtyard next door with curiosity.

Ivan and Jimina are both more than three meters tall, even the little guy Justin is one and a half meters tall, and there is no way to block their view from a railing of more than one meter.

The young strange demon, the beautiful female demon, and the cute petite little demon, this family of three should be the new neighbors who just moved in today.

However, Ivan and Justin's eyes were completely attracted by the prawns and big fish on the table next to them, and the fish and shrimp marinated in spices exuded a fragrance of spices before they were cooked, which was a fatal temptation for families whose daily seasonings were only table salt.

McGonagall also noticed the three rock trolls standing in the yard next door, and smiled, "Hello, we just moved in today. ”

"Hello, I'm Jimina, this is Ivan, and this is our child Justin." Jimina responded, introducing her family by the way, and the new neighbor seemed to be quite easy to deal with.

"I'm Hades, this is my wife Ina, and this is our child Ai." McGonagall also smiled and introduced herself, the first step to integrating into Carapace Island, and establishing a friendly relationship with her neighbors was the first step.

"Hello." Amy waved her hand at the crowd.

"It's so cute!" Ivan and Jimina's eyes lit up, and then at Justin, the two looked at each other, and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, it seemed that they needed to create a new daughter.

After saying hello, the Rock Trolls continued their lives and cooked, and did not communicate much with McGonagall and them, and on Carapace Island, demons would not trust any demon other than their family.

"Mother, I saw that they had big fish and prawns on their plate, and it looked delicious." Justin swallowed.

Ivan was secretly watching from the sidelines.

Jimina smiled a little contemptuously and said: "Hmph, what's so delicious about those things, the stew is full of fishy smell, only the taste of the big turtle stew is the ultimate delicious, and when I finish the soup in a while, they will definitely be very envious." ”

Justin and Ivan looked at each other, we didn't know if the neighbor's fish and shrimp would be better than the turtle stew, we didn't dare to say, we didn't dare to ask.

After cleaning the treated sea turtles, throwing them into a pot of water, sprinkling a handful of natural sea salt, and then covering the pot, Jimina clapped her hands with a relaxed face.

Well, now all you have to do is wait for the food to come out of the pot, such a perfect and complex turtle stew is only mastered by a clever and virtuous female demon like her among the rock trolls, and many of their people are still eating stones.

And McGonagall, next door, also burned the charcoal with Amy's help, coated the barbecue grill with a layer of oil, and then put the grilled fish that had been marinated in advance on the grill.

"Snort"

With a wonderful soft sound, the skin of the big fish was filled with oil, and the aroma of fish and spices began to be gradually released, drifting to the next yard.
