Chapter 1068 I won’t go even if you kill me

Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Mrs. Derrida, how is your nephew now?"

"What happened?" Mrs. Derrida said disdainfully. "That idiot! I tried to persuade him, but he scolded me, saying I was bringing shame to the family and that I was a doctor with such low moral standards. He eventually cut off all ties with me. And then when the court found me, the first thing he thought of was to borrow money from me! Unfortunately, by then, all my money had turned into that speedboat. He couldn't borrow the money, so he scolded me again and cut off all ties with me again."

Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "Oh! The lobster is ready to eat!"

He quickly turned off the fire and brought out the cooked lobster and lobster soup. "Come on, both of you, let me show you how I cook it. I have a lot of experience cooking lobsters now! You can add a little white pepper to the lobster soup according to your taste."

"Can we eat now?" Mr. Derrida couldn't wait any longer. From the way he held the chopsticks, it was clear that he had eaten a lot of Chinese food.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Wait a moment!"

He heated some oil in the pan, sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on the surface of the garlic lobster, sprinkled chopped green onions on the shrimp brain steamed egg and poured a little soy sauce on it, and then poured the heated oil on the garlic lobster and shrimp brain steamed egg respectively. Instantly, a fragrance came to his nose.

"Okay, you can eat now!" Xiao Peng said.

Seeing that Xiao Peng didn't seem to want to eat, Mr. Derrida asked curiously, "You really don't want to eat? What are you eating?"

Xiao Peng took out microwaveable spaghetti, a can of beef, and a can of pineapple from the cupboard and said, "You may not believe me, but what I want most right now is these junk foods that I would never touch normally. I don't want to see lobster again in the next three years!"

"Then we'll leave you alone!" Mrs. Derrida didn't bother to be polite with Xiao Peng and took a sip of the soup. "Damn it! So I always throw away the shells when I eat lobster! I'll never do that again!"

Mr. Derrida's focus was on the bowl of steamed egg with shrimp brain: "Strange, wasn't it green when it went into the steamer? Why is it this color now?"

The bowl of shrimp brain steamed egg was light yellow when it came out of the pot, but after Xiao Peng sprinkled a little soy sauce on it and poured hot oil on it, it turned into a golden yellow. This golden appearance made people's appetite even more.

Xiao Peng put the spaghetti in the microwave and laughed at what Mr. Derrida said. "It's perfectly normal for cooked food to be a different color than raw food. Stir it with a spoon and see what color the black shrimp paste has become."

Mr. Derrida scooped a large spoonful, looked at it, and was stunned: "Red? Isn't it black?"

Xiao Peng pointed to another bowl and said, "Didn't you see the lobster eggs have turned red too? Don't cooked crabs also turn red? This is normal. Try it!"

In fact, without him saying anything, Mr. Derrida immediately put the shrimp brain steamed egg in his mouth, and then his eyes lit up and said, "Honey, please try it! Oh my God. It's so delicious! Very fresh and sweet, and with the oil drizzled on top, it tastes absolutely amazing! I'm at a loss for words now!"

Without waiting for Mrs. Derrida to move her spoon, he put another spoonful of lobster roe into his mouth. "Hmm! This is how lobster roe should be cooked! Xiao, I've eaten lobster roe before, but I always thought it tasted a bit fishy and salty. Now I know what the problem is! You used eggs to neutralize the fishy smell of the lobster roe, and then you didn't add any seasonings to ensure the shrimp flavor! This cooking method is so creative! The bursting lobster roe tastes amazing too... huh?"

Mrs. Derrida didn't answer him at all. Instead, she ate her garlic lobster. Seeing Mr. Derrida looking at her, she pointed at the garlic lobster in front of her and said, "Honey, you should try this! This is truly delicious. Especially the vermicelli noodles. Oh my God, I never thought vermicelli noodles could taste so good! I didn't understand why Xiao said that vermicelli noodles must be available in Chinese kitchens. I always felt like eating rubber bands. Now I understand why they are done this way! It tastes amazing!"

The old couple were arguing while eating, and the content of the argument was nothing more than which dish was more delicious. Xiao Peng, on the other hand, was eating a can of pineapple with great enthusiasm.

He had been on the island for so long and had no fruit to eat! He had never liked fruit before, but now he thought fruit was the most delicious thing in the world!

"Xiao!" Mrs. Derrida suddenly called Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Mrs. Derrida, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Derrida said, "If my marriage to this old man doesn't last forty-four years, you will be held largely responsible!"

"Ah?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded. "What does this have to do with me?"

"We never argue! But we're arguing over which dish is better. Don't you think you should be held responsible?"

Xiao Peng said helplessly: "What does this have to do with me?"

Mrs. Derrida said with a wicked smile, “We’ll forgive you if you cook a few more dishes for us!”

"Hey! Mrs. Derrida! I just escaped death and you're using me as a laborer?" Xiao Peng threw himself on the sofa: "I just want to lie in bed and do nothing!"

Mrs. Derrida held her chin in her hand and said, "Why do I suddenly envy those two girls who stole your raft?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.

Mr. Derrida replied: "What else can it mean? My wife just envied them because they could eat your cooking every day."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng said helplessly, "Don't think that way. Life like that, having to find your own food and face the harsh weather every day, is really tough. You're going there for a little adventure, and staying for two or three days might be a good option, but three months? Believe me, I'm lucky I haven't gone crazy yet!"

Mrs. Derrida waved her hand. "Come on, you're just treating it like a vacation. It's really good that the rest of the people on the island haven't gone crazy!"

Mr. Derrida nodded and said, "I guess those people stole your boat because they saw that you had no intention of leaving and were desperate!"

Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "Hey, I'm the one who's been hurt! I'm the victim!"

"Hey! I have an immature idea!" Mrs. Derrida said suddenly.

Xiao Peng shook his head like a rattle: "If it's immature, then don't talk about it! I won't find another uninhabited island with you!"

"Ah? You know what I want to say?" Mrs. Derrida was stunned.

Xiao Peng sighed and said, "Don't you just want to find another uninhabited island and experience what it's like to survive on a deserted island? I'm telling you, I've had enough. There's absolutely no way I'm going to do that! I just want to go back to my luxury yacht and live my super-rich life! I'm telling you, it's useless for you to say anything! I won't go there even if you kill me!"
