Chapter 1059 This is a Vacation

When Paula and the other girl saw Xiao Peng coming back, they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts: He is indeed a monster!

The reason they thought so was because Xiao Peng was dragging a big box in his hand when he came back!

Swimming back was already difficult enough, but dragging a large suitcase was even more challenging! And Xiao Peng? Aside from some swelling from being in the sea for so long, he was basically fine.

In fact, this is also the reason why Xiao Peng didn't swim back; it was not impossible for him to swim back. But his skin might not be able to bear it!

When Paula saw the box, her face lit up: They had seen this kind of box before! It was orange and the size of a gasoline barrel, and inside was the inflatable life raft that had helped them escape the storm!

They thought Xiao Peng had brought the life raft from his boat, but when he opened the box, the two women nearly fainted: "What is this? Where's the life raft? Why are there all kinds of pots, pans, bottles and jars?"

What's in all those bottles and jars? More important than a life raft? When they took a closer look, they were stunned: all sorts of unopened seasonings?

You must be from Daxia! Only people from Daxia think about eating wherever they go!

In fact, Xiao Peng did not come out without an inflatable life raft. He came back dragging two boxes. One of them was an inflatable life raft. But he hid the box on the seabed near the island!

It is said that "if you have food in your pocket, you won't panic when things go wrong."

In fact, when Xiao Peng found his shipwreck, he thought of quickly taking the life raft to escape from the island. However, when he got the life raft, he suddenly changed his mind: since his safety is guaranteed, why should he be in such a hurry?

Such fun opportunities don’t come along all the time!

During this time on the island, there was neither internet nor phone, so we had to live as healthy as possible.

The degree of this person's busyness is directly proportional to his social status.

Why did Xiao Peng want to be rich when he was broke? Wasn't it just so he could live an easy life? But as he became richer, he found his life becoming increasingly difficult. He was bombarded with calls every day, forced to make decisions on even the most trivial matters! Even when he was working in the South Atlantic Anomaly, he was constantly inundated with calls. It felt like the world couldn't function without him.

From the time he started in the deep-sea salvage industry until now, he feels like there are two hands pushing him from behind. That's how business is: once you get on track, you can't stop.

Now is a rare opportunity, why not take a good vacation?

After realizing this, he was no longer in a hurry. After all, he could stay on the life raft as long as he wanted: why not stay on the sea for a while and enjoy life without being disturbed?

So when Xiao Peng returned to the island, the atmosphere changed. Chopping wood, making rafts, and twisting hemp ropes? Forget all that! It's no use taking a vacation here. He set up his tent and built a stove, and Xiao Peng's happy life began: in a place like this, there's nothing lacking except seafood. It was time to hone his culinary skills!

When he did this, Paula and Alvaro were dumbfounded: How are we going to get away from this island if you don't make a raft?

But every time they asked Xiao Peng, he only got three words: "Don't worry."

Not in a hurry? You’re not in a hurry, but we are!

But Paula and the others couldn't see through Xiao Peng at all: What kind of person is he? How can you act like you enjoy life when things are so hard? How hard was your life before?

But I have to say: Xiao Peng’s cooking is really delicious!

"Paula, where is Montraser?" Xiao Peng was processing a fish there. When he saw Paula coming over, he greeted her.

Paula said, "She went to the forest to look for mushrooms!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng sighed and said, "Are the mushrooms she found edible? Half of the mushrooms she found last time were poisonous! But finding some mushrooms is good. Everything here is good, but there are too few edible plants. Apart from bracken and cassava leaves, there are basically no vegetables to eat. We need to supplement vitamins! There is too little vitamin C in seaweed. Be careful not to get sepsis!"

After hearing this, Paula changed the subject: "Sir, what kind of fish is this?"

She was very afraid that Xiao Peng would ask about Montraser.

How could Montrase be picking mushrooms? She was clearly going to discuss countermeasures with Alvaro and the others! 'Picking mushrooms' was just her excuse!

They are all in a terrible state now that Xiao Peng is not making the raft! They must come up with a solution.

Now in front of Xiao Peng was a big fish more than half a meter long. Its body was like a leaf and its overall color was silver-white. There were small patches of pure black at the tips of its dorsal fin, ventral fin and caudal fin.

Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "You haven't eaten this fish? They also have this fish in Uruguay!"

Paula smiled bitterly and said, "I've rarely been to the market. When I was little, my mother cooked for me at home. After I left home, I went to work at an agency. Even when I went to the market, I only bought processed fish. I've never seen fish like this before."

Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this, but he didn't comment. There were more girls like this in China. He explained, "It's called 'golden pomfret.' Even though it has the word 'pomfret' in its name, it's not a pomfret. In biology, pomfret belongs to the family Pomfretidae in the order Perciformes, while this 'golden pomfret' belongs to the family Perciformes. Its scientific name should be 'Oval Pomfret,' a species of the genus Pomfret."

As he spoke, he cut open the fish's belly and cleaned it directly in the sea water, attracting many sharks.

This area is home to numerous dark-bodied sharks, a coastal and offshore species that swims in the shallows surrounding the islands and feeds in the submerged waters. They primarily feed on crustaceans, cephalopods, and fish. They typically reach about two meters in length. Despite their ferocious appearance and resemblance to great white sharks, they have never been known to attack humans, and they are not afraid of people. Therefore, many classic shark-watching tours on both sides of the Atlantic center around these sharks. Coastal fishermen in West Africa, upon seeing this shark, will simply dive into knee-high water and drag it ashore by its tail, without even using a net.

Xiao Peng threw the fish entrails into the sea to feed the sharks, and then he took the cleaned fish meat back and put it on his homemade cutting board: "Well, I have something good to eat today!"

Paula really wanted to ask Xiao Peng when he would build the raft, but when the words came to her lips, she ended up saying, "Is this fish delicious?"

Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up: "That's a must! I hope Montrase comes back soon, otherwise she won't be able to enjoy the meal!"

He loves island life now.

He doesn't have to worry about work and there is someone to accompany him, and most importantly, there is someone to share his cooking skills.

This is also very interesting: no matter how selfish a person is in this world, if he makes a delicious dish, the first thing he thinks about is sharing it with others and hoping to get recognition from others.
