"Indeed, you are right."

Angelica picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. She raised her eyebrows and seemed to be very satisfied with the taste of the soup.

"However, vampires still need blood to survive and suppress the desire to drink blood."

"You can rest assured about this." Owen put down the tableware, "We will prepare extra animal blood for Yukina."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt confused again.

"Speaking of which, doesn't the Holy Theocracy of Caleb shelter a group of vampires? Don't they all only drink blood and not eat food?"

"I have no idea."

While eating, Angelica replied: "The shelter location is kept secret from the outside world, and I don't know how they live there."

"I see……"

Probably to be wary of old-school people, Owen didn't say anything.

After dinner, the leftovers and empty plates were taken away by the Asian maid. Tonight's dessert was ice cream balls, all white, placed on a small plate.

"What is this? Can it be eaten?"

She had never seen this kind of dessert before. Angelica picked up a small spoon and poked the ball on the small plate.

"Of course I can eat it."

Owen introduced: "Isn't the weather getting hotter and hotter recently? I want to eat something cool, and this is the dessert that the chef and I recently tried to make - ice cream."

The system's folders are filled with various books, and of course there are also recipes.

Although Owen usually pays great attention to the scientific knowledge of developing territories, he is also very interested in eating.

Every time he saw a new dish that looked good, Owen would give the chef a brief outline of how to make it and let him try it. Occasionally he would also participate in it.

The reason why today's dinner is so delicious is because Irving specially asked the chef to make new dishes from the recipe.

With the arrival of summer, Owen accidentally discovered ice cream, a summer-relieving dessert, and he must make it.

It just so happened that so many people gathered here tonight, so he decided to take it out and share it with everyone to try.

"oh?"

Angelica dug out a small spoonful from the top of the ice cream ball, picked it up and looked at it carefully without daring to swallow it.

"I didn't expect Marquis Aisen to be interested in the kitchen. He is really a strange nobleman."

Generally speaking, nobles disdain to go near damp-looking areas like the kitchen. Menial tasks such as cooking and cooking are left to servants, and they will not touch raw ingredients.

In contrast, Yuqina didn't care about anything. As long as it was something to eat, she would just take a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

“Wow! Delicious!”

Her eyes suddenly glowed golden, she quickly scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth, then held her face in her hands, as if her whole body was about to melt.

"Icy, sweet, so good!"

Winnie on the side also looked intoxicated, indulging in the delicious taste of ice cream.

"that is true."

Seeing this, Teresa also took a small spoonful, raised her hand to cover her mouth and said in surprise: "I feel that the heat in my body has dissipated a lot, it's delicious."

Mapel has finished eating.

Putting down the little spoon, she sincerely praised: "Mr. Owen is really amazing! He can actually make such a delicious dessert."

Seeing everyone else eating so happily, Angelica suddenly became more curious about the ice cream.

Seeing that she still hadn't taken her mouth, Owen reminded: "It's best to finish it quickly, otherwise the ice cream will melt after a long time."

Without any further hesitation, Angelica put the scoop of ice cream into her mouth and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

It melts in your mouth, and the cooling sensation quickly spreads throughout your body. It is very refreshing and really relieves the heat.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of sweetness and milky aroma quietly filled the mouth, and it tasted great.

"This ice cream is really delicious." Angelica commented.

"Thanks."

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the delicious ice cream, Irving felt relieved.

Of course, he did not forget to issue a warning: "It's okay to eat ice cream occasionally when you feel hot, but you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will easily gain weight."

As soon as fat was mentioned, most of the women present suddenly turned pale. It seemed that it was difficult to have both deliciousness and beauty at the same time.

Only Yukina and Winnie didn't care at all.

Yukina doesn't seem to gain weight. After living in the castle for more than half a year, Owen sees that she has eaten so much and her body shape has not changed at all. Is this also a characteristic of becoming a vampire?

Winnie, on the other hand, usually has no restraint and eats as much as she likes.

Therefore, she is the one who needs to be looked after the most. If one day she becomes so fat that she can no longer fly, that would be terrible.

…

Even though the castle has become heavily guarded recently, the renovations that need to be carried out must still be carried out as usual and cannot be postponed.

This renovation project is a water supply project.

As long as the renovation is completed, the Lord's Castle will become the first building with indoor water in Bianzhu Town.

Normally, domestic water is drawn from a well in the backyard of the castle and put into large water tanks.

There are people in the lord's castle who specially manage the water tanks. If they find that there is not enough water, they will fill it up immediately.

But that's not the case for civilians. If they don't pay attention, they find that the water tank is out of water. They have to run all the way to the river or the well to fetch water and carry it back.

This time I just carried out renovations in the castle first and accumulated some experience.

In the future, Owen will promote the water supply project to cover all buildings in Bianzhu Town to ensure that the residents have convenient access to water.

Since the castle is a high-rise building, in order to send water to the third floor, a towering water tower must be built.

The water tower was mainly built by Gita, and the parts that needed welding were handled by Garcia.

The height of this water tower is only slightly shorter than the highest point of the castle. In order to prevent collapse during use, the water tower and the castle need to be connected and fixed with wall fittings.

The water tank is a huge copper bucket. If it is made of iron, it will rust easily, and the water that comes out may be brownish-red.

A moving pulley was installed at the highest point of the castle, and then the water tower was lifted up bit by bit and installed on the base.

The base is fixed by pouring cement in advance, and finally the connecting wall parts are installed.

The pumping steam engine was placed in a small house near the well. In order to ensure sound insulation, Owen also asked Vilu to build the walls very thickly.

In addition, the steam engine itself has been updated and the noise has been reduced a lot.

After testing, when the steam engine was operating, people in the castle could hear no sound at all.

Just arrange for someone to check the condition of the steam engine regularly and add water and fuel.

The last step is to install water pipes, faucets, etc., which are made of copper just like the water tank.

However, the castle does not have holes for water pipes to enter.

In order to allow the water pipes to be installed into the castle, Owen asked Vilu to break open several corners of the wall. After the water pipes were installed, they were repaired with cement.

Everything was ready, the steam engine started to operate, and the water was pumped from the well to the high water tank. Owen took everyone to the faucet, turned on the faucet, and the water flowed down.
Chapter completed!
