I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 260 Enjoy life
The sun shines through the leaves, sparsely casting a few spots of light.

Xia Qingdai finally lay down on the hammock as she wished, holding a glass of Happy Fertilizer water in her hand and taking a sip from the straw from time to time.

Beside the hammock, there was the literary girl Jane Austen, holding a plate with fruit. While chatting with her, she fed her fruit, which was very pleasant.

Miss Bai used the pedal in front of the Lotus Building as a piano bench and was adjusting the harp.

This harp was accidentally mentioned by Xia Qingdai before, and then bought by Owen.

Miss Bai plays the harp better than the piano, but she cannot afford a harp. Nowadays, no one except Miss Bai plays this piece in Fu Cui Shan Villa. Xia Qingdai has not officially started learning yet, so this piano almost belongs to Miss Bai.

The harp, like the guzheng and the piano, is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Xia Qingdai reluctantly followed Ouyin to learn a little bit, and she could pluck a few strings and play a simplified version of the rattle. For songs that require the use of both hands, that won't work.

"Wow, look, there are swans!" The Brown sisters, who were sitting on the second floor of the Lotus Building enjoying the breeze, excitedly ran to the railing and pointed at the two snow-white swans that had just fallen from the sky to the lake.

Xia Qingdai, Jane, and Miss Bai all stopped and turned their heads to look at the lake.

There is a small refrigerator filled with ice cubes and wrapped in quilts, as well as a tank full of clear pure water. There is no shortage of mats and blankets.

There is everything in the Lotus Building that Xia Qingdai ordered her personal maid Mary to prepare before going to the fields.

His second sister Marianne said proudly: "It's God, God lowered it from the sky! Amy and I both saw the true God appear!"

Instead of leaving, Mr. Brown clamped his horse's belly and rode forward.

As he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "bang" gunshot, which frightened the two swans so much that they screamed "ah ah ah ah", flapped their wings and flew into the sky again.

Because Mr. Brown did not dismount from the beginning to the end, only Miss Bai and Jane returned the standard curtsey to him. As for the sisters Xia Qingdai and Brown, the former did not get off the hammock at all, and the latter did not climb down the stairs.

Could this guy be sick?

"The countryside has a good natural environment!" Xia Qingdai sighed.

Xia Qingdai silently followed the sound of the gun, and Mr. Brown, who had missed the shot, was saying something annoyed.

In fact, not only the swans screamed, but Miss Brown and Miss Bai were also frightened and screamed by the sudden gunfire.

The roads leading to this small lake are all forest paths. Not to mention the huge Lotus Tower, it is difficult for an ordinary four-wheeled carriage to pass through.

The two girls of the Brown family couldn't help but quarreled with Mr. Brown in the distance, scolding their brother for being unreliable and telling him to go hunting elsewhere.

After a while, he probably realized that it was very inconvenient for him to stay in the girl's territory. After nodding slightly, he left again.

He didn't even dismount. He only took off his hat to greet Xia Qingdai and others, then looked at the Lotus Tower and said in disbelief: "How can this big carriage stop here without a horse at the front?"

"Oh! My God!" Mr. Brown subconsciously shouted a common mantra among Westerners of this era, and then fell silent.

He doesn't go hunting with the men, but goes to their territory and shoots guns. Is this a kindergarten boy? Want to stand out in front of girls?

The Brown sisters swore there would never be a more interesting picnic.

By noon, the hunting men came to the lake with their prey. Owen's marksmanship was the most accurate, so he naturally gained the most. What arouses interest at first glance is a deer that he tied to the horse's head.

"Oh, great, we can eat roasted deer today." Xia Qingdai happily stopped plucking the strings. "Mr. Irving is really good at hunting such a big deer." Miss Bai praised her employer.

Jane also smiled and agreed, and then she looked at her brother. There was also a pheasant and a partridge hanging on the horse's head, so he didn't return empty-handed.

The pheasants in the woods suffered a lot today. On average, everyone caught one, and Owen scored three dollars.

Then there were two fat white rabbits and four grouse.

Owen jumped off his horse and walked towards Xia Qingdai, acting very calm about the appearance of Lotus Tower.

He knew that his goddess would never treat him badly, and moving her to the Lotus Building was just a trivial matter.

As for the other gentlemen, even though they had long known about the existence of Lotus Building from Mr. Brown, they still couldn't help but take a deep breath when they saw them here.

The god of this villa loves his people so much!

He also expressed his shock at the Lotus Tower, which had everything he needed. Who else could own such a magnificent carriage except a gift from God? Although they have never set foot in the palace, they must not have a more luxurious RV than even the royal family.

After confirming Owen's trophy, Xia Qingdai happily announced: "There are so many pheasants and grouse today, I'll make some beggar's chickens!"

In fact, she has never made a beggar's chicken herself, but she knows how to make it. And it is right next to the lake, and the lake mud is also easy to dig.

"Beggar's chicken? What does this mean?" Several gentlemen and ladies were confused.

"Okay." Only Owen understood instantly and smiled, "I can't cook, but I can stab fish. Wait until I stab a few fish."

"Okay."

Owen originally didn't like freshwater fish, but after eating Xia Qingdai's Chinese grilled fish, he fell in love with it.

With the addition of fresh game, the picnic suddenly becomes a picnic.

There is a kitchen in the Lotus Building, which is not only equipped with smokeless bamboo charcoal bought by Xia Qingdai from Hyundai, cut tin foil, various spices packed in glass jars by category, but also a barbecue grill made by London craftsmen, which is perfect for BBQ outdoors.

Everyone is busy around the prey. The so-called matching of men and women makes the work not tiring.

When the sun is at its peak, a rich meal of fish, meat, shrimp, vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms is completed.

The food has been moved to the second floor of the Lotus Building. The high bed that can be used as both a bed and a table has now become a dining table for gatherings.

There were enough dishes and tablecloths in the Lotus Building, and the ladies set up a buffet table in no time, not forgetting to find some wild flowers in the forest for decoration.

The Lotus Building actually has its own flower garden, and there are flowers carefully cultivated by the gardener, but Xia Qingdai is reluctant to cut them and put them in bottles.

The barbecue grill in the kitchen was moved to the second floor and is now grilling chicken and venison skewers, as well as grilled fish.

No wine was prepared, but the unique taste of Happy Fat House Water was enough for everyone to drink.

Compared with the common wine in the world, Happy Fat House Water is obviously more popular.

While everyone was drinking Coca-Cola, eating grilled fish and barbecue, blowing the breeze from the forest, and looking at the scenery of the maple oasis, they felt that time had slowed down.

The days in the countryside in September are so pleasant.
