Chapter 835: Chapter 832 Production

After returning to the castle, Mina dragged Annie along to take a bath. Feeling greasy all over made them uncomfortable.

Lucas went straight to the study. He rummaged through the bookshelf for quite a while before finding the book he wanted.

He sat in his chair, flipping through it page by page. He flipped through more than half of it before finding the information he was looking for.

"Soap requires alkali and lard. Lard can be obtained from wild animals, but alkali is a bit troublesome," Lucas frowned slightly, putting down the book in his hands.

For alkali, the best method was naturally to find an alkali mine, but he didn’t know where to look for one at the moment.

If there was an alkali mine, simply mixing it with limestone would do. Since there wasn’t one right now, he could only find other ways.

Aside from combining alkali ore with limestone, he could only follow the traditional indigenous method to make alkali, though it would be much slower than using an alkali mine.

Knock, knock, knock...

The door was knocked.

"Master," Mina’s voice came from outside.

"Come in," Lucas’s voice transmitted out.

Mina and Annie pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master, are you still reading?" Mina asked curiously. "Nicole says we can eat now."

"Just looking at the soap-making process," Lucas said gently. He closed the book casually, stood up, and said, "Then let’s go eat first."

"Eh? Making soap, does the master want to make it himself?" Annie’s eyes were filled with surprise.

"Yes, I’ll start experimenting after dinner," Lucas smiled, opening the door and walking out.

"Eh, then can we watch?" Mina was also very curious about how soap was made.

However, for certain things, they needed Lucas’s nod of approval before they could be exposed to them. She never forgot her place.

"Of course you can. In the future, you can try making a piece of soap that belongs to you yourselves," Lucas said gently. The beast-eared girls were all his own people, so knowing how it was made didn’t matter.

"Really? We can make it ourselves too?" Annie was a bit excited. If they really could make it themselves, she wanted to shape her soap into a lollipop.

"You can," Lucas nodded softly.

Tap, tap, tap...

"......"

Amidst a flurry of questions and answers, the three arrived at the dining room.

The dining table was already full of everyone waiting for dinner: Catherine, Lucy, Helen, Ayesha, Nicole, and Amelia, who had just returned from the air force base.

Amelia had been staying at the air force base recently, practicing her flying. Although she could fly now, fully familiarizing herself with these new wings still required much practice before she could fly freely.

"My Lord."

"Master."

"..."

The girls all greeted Lucas upon seeing him.

"Master, we can eat now." Nicole brought Lucas a bowl of rice. She always remembered Lucas’s habit of eating rice.

"Let’s eat," Lucas sat down and picked up his bowl.

Seeing Lucas start using his spoon, the others began to eat. It was harmonious at first, but after a short while, their daily routine of snatching and grabbing from each other played out again.

"Ah, damn Mina, you stole my scrambled eggs with tomatoes again!" This was Annie’s angry voice.

"Did not." This was Mina’s daily voice of sophistry.

"Today’s hot and sour shredded potatoes are still so delicious," Catherine’s eyes held a pleasant surprise. She was currently obsessed with the hot and sour shredded potatoes, hoping Nicole would make some for her every meal, never getting tired of it.

"The braised mutton with potatoes is also so good! Nicole, you’re amazing," Lucy praised. Chewing on the soft and glutinous potatoes, she had instantly fallen in love with this dish.

"The master taught me all these dishes," Nicole’s face flushed slightly red.

When Lucas had free time, he would go to the kitchen to teach Nicole some new recipes. Although he had given her a few cookbooks, some dishes required hands-on guidance to truly understand.

"I just moved my mouth. Nicole, your culinary skills are getting better and better," Lucas picked up a piece of mutton and praised it.

"It’s true, the food Nicole cooks is getting more and more delicious," Annie mumbled unclearly, her mouth stuffed with scrambled eggs and tomatoes.

Nicole felt a bit embarrassed being praised by everyone, but she was very satisfied internally. Having her cooking recognized by her friends gave her a great sense of accomplishment, especially being praised by the master, which made her even happier.

"Ah! Annie, you stole my shredded potatoes!" Catherine exclaimed. The plate of shredded potatoes in front of her was already more than half gone.

"Wow, the hot and sour shredded potatoes really are delicious, sour and spicy, just slightly inferior to my scrambled eggs with tomatoes," Annie chewed the shredded potatoes, her eyes full of pleasant surprise.

"Let me have a little too," Ayesha looked pitifully at Lucy, extending her spoon. Her eyes held a sly glint as she said, "Just a little bit."

"Alright," Catherine nodded, though she kept her guard up against Annie. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the shredded potatoes in front of her would be halved again.

Her eye immediately twitched, and rolling her eyes, she said, "Ayesha, your ’little bit’ really isn’t ’much’ at all."

"Delicious, so delicious," Ayesha marveled.

"I want to eat it too."

"Me too."

Catherine hurriedly used both hands to protect her food. This was a new skill she had learned during her time in the castle. If she didn’t do this, the food she liked to eat would likely be snatched completely away.

This meal concluded once again amidst the playful clamor of snatching and grabbing.

Everyone sat in their respective seats, rubbing their bellies and burping. In front of each person was a cup of tea, meant to aid digestion and cut through the oil.

After the meal, the group began their daily casual chatting.

"Master, when are you going to start making soap?" Annie remembered what Lucas had mentioned earlier about soap, so she asked.

"We can start in a bit," Lucas put down his cup with a smile on his lips.

"Eh, the master is going to make soap himself? Really?" Ayesha, who had been leaning back, immediately sat up straight upon hearing Annie’s words.

"Lucas is going to make soap? Can I watch?" Lucy’s eyes lit up. Ever since she used soap to bathe once, she had completely fallen in love with it, marveling every time at the magic of soap.

Therefore, she had always been very curious about how soap was made, but she was too embarrassed to ask Lucas, as it was a secret after all.

Similarly, Catherine’s eyes held anticipation; she also wanted to know how soap was made.

"You can," Lucas smiled and nodded. It seemed the temptation of soap was quite significant for them, perhaps second only to the four-piece cosmetic set.
