Chapter 26 Is There Anything Wrong with a Viscount Who Can Cook?

"Ah, is everyone still not back yet?" Nichole opened the door and walked in, looking around the dark room. Not even the magic stone lamps were lit, indicating that her companions hadn't returned yet. freewёbnoνel.com

Dong!

William put down the ingredients in his hand and glanced around. The interior of this exquisite little house looked quite nice, but the weapon rack and various trophies placed on the side still exuded a strong mercenary style.

It was quite rare to rent such a house near Geddo Street in the West District.

"Not bad, this place. Did you and your teammates rent it together?" William asked.

Nichole nodded and gently placed the sword she had been carrying on her back onto the weapon rack beside the living room, then helped William carry the items to the kitchen behind the living room.

Then, she watched with wide eyes as William began his operation.

William wasn't vague either. Although he hadn't cooked since crossing over, he hadn't forgotten his experience from his past life. Rolling up his sleeves, he began his preparations.

The sound of clanging and clattering echoed in the kitchen.

First, he removed the heads of the fresh prawns, deveined them, and placed them in a bowl. He added salt and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. Then, he cut the potatoes into thin shreds, rinsed off the excess starch with water, and fried them in oil until golden brown. After draining the excess oil, he coated the marinated shrimp with a batter made of flour and eggs, then fried them until golden brown. Finally, he coated the fried shrimp with salad dressing and rolled them in the fried potato shreds to create a golden, crispy shrimp ball.

After preparing the shrimp balls, he arranged them neatly on a plate, garnished with a few sprigs of fresh mint. The shrimp balls, with their tails curled up and lined up in a row, looked cute and delicate.

Nichole, who couldn't wait any longer, quickly grabbed a shrimp ball by the tail and popped it into her mouth.

"It's hot!" The freshly cooked golden shrimp ball was still quite hot, but Nichole didn't spit out the delicious food, even though she was burned a little. Her beautiful eyes were misty with tears, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the dish.

The golden shrimp ball, with its tender shrimp and crispy potato shreds, offered a rich and unique texture, showcasing the ultimate combination of crispiness and tenderness. The sweet taste of the salad dressing covered the excess grease perfectly, emitting a fragrant aroma that made it irresistible.

Nichole, lost in the enjoyment of the delicacy, felt a surge of energy rushing through her body. Although she had eaten fine food since she was a child, she had never experienced such a dish before, which gave her a sense of novelty.

When she came to her senses, Nichole looked at the plate of shrimp balls, which still had many left, and felt like she could eat the whole plate by herself.

William smiled as he watched the charming sight of the girl enjoying the food. It was as if he could see his own cute younger sisters from his previous life, who would always surround him, asking him to cook delicious food for them. Which chef wouldn't like such diners?

He reached out and pushed the plate toward Nichole, saying, "Enjoy as much as you like. It's all yours."

Seeing that there were still plenty of ingredients left, William thought that since he had already started, he might as well make a few more dishes.

While Nichole enjoyed the golden shrimp balls in the living room, William prepared to showcase his skills and became more joyful in his actions.

In no time, William had prepared honey-glazed carrot pork, a cold meat platter with sauce, crab meat and ham-baked vegetables, and a large portion of vegetable and fruit salad.

All set!

William washed his hands. Since he hadn't prepared in advance this time, many of his favorite dishes couldn't be made. He could ask Joyce to prepare a set of exclusive kitchen utensils and special ingredients for him next time.

However, William found that the Level 0 spell "Mage Hand" was really useful. It felt like he had gained an extra pair of dexterous hands. Not only did it greatly improve his cooking speed, but it also allowed him to practice multitasking.

In the living room, Nichole slowly tasted the golden shrimp balls and watched as William quickly brought out a pile of delicious dishes. Each dish was colorful, fragrant, and delicious, clearly the work of a master chef.

Nichole turned her head to look at William, and in her eyes, it seemed like William was emitting endless light behind him.

Could this be the angel sent by the God of War to save our adventuring party?

William felt a bit strange under Nichole's shining gray-purple eyes. What's up with her? Did the taste not turn out right? It shouldn't be.

"William, you're amazing!" Nichole exclaimed, putting down her mostly empty plate with a clatter and turning to William. "Since you want to be a mercenary, why not join my adventure team? You don't have to do anything except cook, and I'll take care of everything else."

It wasn't just a matter of craving food; it was tough because none of her team members knew how to cook. Every time they went out on a mission or exploration, they had to eat tough, tasteless dry rations. It was just too difficult.

As Nichole thought this, she looked at William with a pleading gaze, hoping he wouldn't reject her only request.

Before William could respond, they heard the sound of the door being pushed open. Nichole's companions must have returned.

"Nichole, you're back early!"

The voice of a carefree man came through, and three people walked into the living room, chatting and laughing.

Leading them was a dwarf wearing full-body armor and carrying a half-height iron hammer on his back. He must have been the one with the loud voice earlier. He had a rough appearance, thick hair, and a long beard, the typical appearance of a dwarf warrior.

Dwarves were relatively rare in the Canlight City. Generally, dwarves from the kingdoms in the central part of the Fanor Continent were more common, as the Dwarven Kingdom was located in the Kanor Mountains between the central and western parts of the continent.

Next was an elegant elf woman with a bow and arrow on her back. Her golden hair couldn't hide her pointed ears. She looked like an elven ranger, her exquisite face truly representing the elegant and beautiful race.

If dwarves were relatively rare, then elves were almost nonexistent in human kingdoms. Because of their beautiful appearance, they were often captured as slaves by smugglers. Therefore, most elves naturally harbored hostility towards humans and generally only lived in the Navia Forest in the southern part of the continent.

As for the last person, he was a familiar face: Jason Hard, the younger son of Duke Hard.

"We have guests?" The elf immediately noticed William sitting at the dining table with Nichole and asked cautiously.

"Elena, come and eat delicious food. My disciple William made it. Impressive, right?" Nichole called out with a smile.

Jason peeked out from behind and took a look.

William, is that the William Cain I know? What's going on?

William glanced at Nichole and muttered, "When did I become your disciple? I don't remember." Nichole didn't pay attention to William's reaction at all. She happily invited everyone to sit down and enjoy the delicious food in front of them.

Jason pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the table full of food with a strange expression.

Wow, Viscount, you really can cook?
