Chapter 876
What surprised Barbara was that Helios could actually cook.
“You… Don’t the Bouchers usually have servants?” Barbara stood beside him and asked curiously, “Do you still need to cook for yourself?”
Helios answered while beating the eggs, “I seldom go home when I’m filming. I usually stay outside together with the crew, so I’ll cook whatever I want to eat. I’ve slowly picked up the skill over the course of my career.”
Barbara clenched her hand into a fist, placed it in front of her lips, and cleared her throat faintly. “That’s not shabby at all. At least, you’ll survive even when you’re living away from your family.”
Helios poured the eggs into the bowl and stared at her. “I can teach you if you want to learn.”
Barbara managed to come up with two dishes under Helios’s guidance, although the appearance of the dishes did not look good.
Compared to what Helios brought out of the kitchen, hers looked more like two bowls of concoctions that came straight out of a fairytale in which witchcraft was a thing.
When the dishes were served on the dining table, Barbara felt that the dishes she had cooked looked really embarrassing, so she moved the two dishes to the side. “I think we shouldn’t try these two dishes for our own sake.”
Seeing that Helios had inserted his fork into one of the bowls and picked up its content, Barbara stopped him. “Hey.”
However, he had already taken a bite and started coughing violently before Barbara could react to it.
“I knew it.
Barbara lowered her gaze and forced a smile. “I told you not to try it. It’s unpalatable, isn’t it?”
Helios frowned, but instead of spitting it out, he swallowed it. After a while, he asked, “How much salt did you add?”
She was startled. “Didn’t you say a spoonful?”
Helios recalled that when she had asked him how much salt she should add when they were in the kitchen, he did respond to her question with “a spoonful”.
‘But my spoonful measurement was made based on the size of a teaspoon, did she…
Helios’ face stiffened as he held something back. “Did you use the spoon that I asked you to use together with the cooking spatula to ease your cooking process when you were measuring the amount of salt to add?”
Barbara was still very calm. “Yeah, or else?”
Helios could not help but let off a giggle. He then quickly covered the corner of his lips with his hand and turned his head away.
Judging from his shoulders’ tiny but repetitive tremors, anyone could see what he was trying to hold back.
