Chapter 23: Lifa’s Shock! You Can Actually Eat This Thing?!

Rennes stared at the map on the table for a while, then shook his head.

After that, he looked at the garden outside the window and the beautiful figure standing under the sun, and his mood instantly improved.

Sure enough, compared to the troublesome matter of managing a country, it was much preferable to go out and bask in the sun. Even cultivating magical plants was more comfortable than this.

Rennes thus went straight to the garden.

After all, he had said that he would ripen the magic potatoes, and now’s as good a time as any.

For some time afterwards, Rennes worked on the potatoes under Trish’s curious gaze.

The two of them gradually immersed themselves in the cultivation of magic potatoes.

..

Half a month later.

It was a fine morning.

Lifa had stayed up all night, signing off on port-related matters.

At the moment, she was lying on the table in the administrative hall, drooling and sleeping soundly without a care for her status as a queen at all.

Suddenly, the voice of a guard came from outside the door:

“Your Majesty, the groundnuts… no, the potatoes cultivated by Lord Rennes are ripe. He invited you over to have a taste!”

“Alright, inform Lord Rennes that I accept the invitation!” Lifa told the guard at the door.

“Can you really eat groundnuts? No, I guess I should call them potatoes now. Oh, I really want to taste them!” Lying on the table, Lifa flashed an eager smile.

During the past month, Lifa had her own matters to take care of, and so did Rennes.

Therefore, although only a month had passed, it felt like a long time.

Meanwhile, Rennes was extremely busy in his residence.

After a month of painstaking cultivation, the potatoes had finally matured.

Looking at the large yellow potatoes on the ground, Rennes could not help but feel immense satisfaction.

In this world, the mages were usually very picky about their food, so there were all kinds of spices, not much different from Rennes’ previous life.

After sending Tracy away, Rennes was the only one left in the kitchen.

Chef Rennes, reporting for service!

Shredded potato, potato chips, mashed potatoes, stewed beef with potatoes…

Rennes wanted to cook a feast of potatoes. In his previous life, he had decent culinary skills, and in the game, he had even trained his culinary skills to the maximum level.

Therefore, if Rennes got serious, the food he made would not be much inferior to the food made by a five-star hotel chef.

Clink! Clank! Clink! Clank!

Rennes got busy in the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, in a corner that was hidden behind a closet.

Three little faces peeked out from the corner, secretly watching Rennes cook in the kitchen, as well as enjoying the increasingly rich aroma of food.

The faces belonged to Trish and two other maids whom Lifa had prepared for Rennes when he moved in.

The three of them had been living with Rennes for over a month now.

They already knew that Lord Rennes, who seemed very mysterious to outsiders, was actually very friendly and was not someone who put on airs.

At the moment, seeing how unusually Rennes was behaving, they became more and more curious.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

“I didn’t expect Lord Rennes to know how to cook. Lord Rennes is so amazing. Is there anything he can’t do?”

“Those are groundnuts, right? I’m a little scared!”

“They’re already potatoes now. I watched Lord Rennes work on them for half a month. Don’t worry, you can safely eat as much as you want when Lord Rennes is done!”

“But this feast is prepared for the Queen. Do we have a share too?”

“Lord Rennes will definitely give us a share!” Trish said with confidence.

Hearing the whispers of the people outside, Rennes smiled and shouted, “Trish!”

“Milord is calling for you!” The other two maids pushed Trish forward.

After more than half a month of living together, Trish had become bolder, and her clothes had gotten more and more casual.

With her beautiful appearance and curvy figure, even Rennes, who was used to it, would often get a mysterious impulse.

“What is this, milord?” Trish’s eyes sparkled when she smelled the food’s fragrance.

The way she looked at the golden and shiny potato chips was like she was looking at gold coins – edible gold coins. Just looking at them made Trish drool.

Rennes handed her a pair of chopsticks. Chopsticks did not exist in this world, but because his father was Chinese, he was used to using chopsticks.

Rennes custom-made a whole set of chopsticks out of precious wood, enough for more than ten people.

“This is called potato chips. I know you’re gluttonous, so I thought I’ll let you have a taste to satisfy your craving. After you eat it, give me some feedback. The Queen will be coming over to eat it later!” Rennes said with a smile.

“Don’t mind if I do, milord!” Trish chuckled and took the chopsticks from Rennes. Imitating the way Rennes used them, she picked up a piece of potato chip and put it in her mouth.

As soon as the potato chip entered her mouth, Trish felt an exquisite taste blooming on her taste buds. She was instantly filled with an indescribable satisfaction.

At the same time, a pure magic power seemed to be spreading to every cell in her body.

“Wow…” Trish chewed carefully with an intoxicated look on her face. She could not help exclaiming, “Delicious! It’s simply too delicious! Lord Rennes’ cooking is amazing!”

“Hahaha!” Hearing Trish’s heartfelt praise, Rennes’ mood became even better.

He rubbed Trish’s head and snatched the chopsticks from Trish’s hand to prevent her from “accidentally” finishing the plate.

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door, “My Lord, Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!”

Hearing the report from the guard, Trish did not dare covet the plate of potato chips anymore. She obediently brought the plate of potato chips to the table.

“Invite the Queen inside!” shouted Rennes from the kitchen while he threw the freshly-cut potato slices into the pan.

Lifa slowly walked in in a long gown.

The truth was, even before she stepped through the door, she could already smell the tempting aroma.

After she entered, Lifa saw Trish standing on the long table arranging the bowls and chopsticks.

“What’s this?” She walked over to the long table and curiously inspected the plate of golden potato slices on it.

“These are potato chips, Your Majesty. Would you like to try it?” Trish smiled.

“I would!” She swallowed her saliva with much difficulty. To be honest, she had never encountered any food that could emit such a tempting aroma before she had even eaten it.

“Here you go, Your Majesty!” Trish handed her a pair of chopsticks.

Lifa took the chopsticks and used this strange object with great difficulty. She picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth.

The moment the potato chip entered her mouth, it immediately released its delicious taste in her mouth, accompanied by a pure magic power. Lifa instantly had a look of satisfaction on her face.

As expected of a magical food. It was ten thousand times more delicious than even the finest wheat bread in the palace!

She never thought potatoes could be so delicious. It seemed that they were wrong to treat this delicious food as poison before!
