I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 268 Smooth transaction
Xia Qingdai happily took an interest class in the castle during the day, and then sent a carriage to bring Pastor Austin and his family to the castle in the evening, and they all had a small ice cream party.
In addition to Pastor Austin's family and associate pastor Co. Prince's family, the only participants were Owen, his cousin James, and his "cousin" Xia Qingdai.
The three families have very close contacts and have formed a small inner circle with Fucui Villa as the center.
During the break, Xia Qingdai did not stay in the lounge to drink tea. Instead, she quietly returned to modern times to have a meal with her brother, receive express delivery, and check on the progress of buying and selling piano music.
With the platform as a support, Xia Qingdai's side is very trouble-free. You only need to select the contract template, provide your identity information to sign the copyright agreement, and then wait to collect the song fees.
Everything in Jiang Province is now electronic and paperless. To sign an agreement, you only need to provide an electronic signature, which is very convenient.
What Xia Qingdai handed over was just the music score, and the recording was the buyer's business. The website would also provide the buyer with a complete demonstration performance.
The marketing time for this movie is very tight, so the work of buying and selling promotional songs is naturally also very tight.
They invited a fat pianist who was well-known in China and was very good at marketing to record this piano piece, which was renamed "To Miss Summer".
The reason why she didn't let her name appear completely in the piano music was because Xia Qingdai didn't want to stand out too much, and she felt comfortable making a fortune quietly.
Anyway, the history of Lilliput in the eighteenth century has been changed by her.
In that time and space, her name will be passed down forever with this "Qingdai Xia", so there is no need to pursue inheritance too much in modern times.
On the other side, after listening to the first effect in the recording studio, Director Hu was not satisfied. They also asked the people below to contact the platform and hope that the performer in the video provided by the creator would perform.
But when Xia Qingdai saw the news from the background, although she was very excited about the reward they proposed, she was really powerless!
It's not that there's any difficulty on Owen's part, it's that it's difficult for her to completely recreate a recording studio in the castle. This is unrealistic, and she is not a science expert.
Therefore, she could only reluctantly refuse this money. Tell the other person that his friend is just an ordinary international student, just for fun, not professional, and unwilling to take this job.
People from the company behind the movie naturally don't believe that anyone can play at this level.
But when they took the silhouette of the man in the picture to inquire, they found that he was actually unknown in the piano world.
Director Hu Hu once even wanted to directly buy the copyright of this video, which was obviously recorded directly on a mobile phone, and use this performance scene as part of the film's marketing and promotion.
Because he felt that the version he heard for the first time was the most touching. The performance of the fat pianist is more about showmanship than emotion.
Director Huzi doesn’t understand piano, he just thinks so from the perspective of an ordinary listener.
But in the end, Xia Qingdai refused to sell the video copyright and gave up.
Just kidding, the other party only offered 20,000 yuan for the video that featured Irving! How could she agree to such an insincere price? At least add a zero at the end.
It turns out that the producer who handled this project was not as striving for perfection as the director. Seeing that the seller refused, he just put it aside and didn't play any more games of raising prices and spending money.
This is a topic for later, so I won’t mention it for now.
Everyone who played until after midnight that night almost was late for church service the next day.
Xia Qingdai, who didn't have much need for sleep, was the only one who was energetic. She had no objection at all to entering the church and went with everyone.
She was someone who would stop by and pay homage to the temple. After church, Xia Qingdai took another one-on-one French class with Miss Bai. In terms of linguistics, she was much more talented than those in science and engineering, and she learned it fairly smoothly.
Although Miss Bai was shocked that Xia Qingdai didn't know French at her age, she still tried her best to teach her.
If she hasn't learned well, then she won't worry that she will be unemployed soon.
Normally, aristocratic families with young ladies would hire tutors for their young ladies, who would only be able to teach them until they are eighteen years old at most.
After that, the ladies will be busy with socializing, and the major life event will change from studying to showing the results of study in order to successfully marry the right man.
After Xia Qingdai finished her cultural class, she quickly changed into her riding clothes, and happily rode into the mountains to hunt with Owen, who had finished his daily business.
In this season, which is suitable for hunting, it would be a shame not to have a hearty game, so it must be arranged.
Xia Qingdai never had trouble sitting sideways when riding a horse, but even so, her equestrian skills were far from superior compared to those of the real aristocratic ladies of the 18th century who had been riding horses since childhood.
But as long as you don't care about the number of prey, this hunting can be considered perfect.
For others, hunting is a very expensive game, but for Fucui Villa, it is not worth mentioning.
A manor that is fed by God will never have to worry about making ends meet.
If Xia Qingdai didn't want to completely raise a bunch of lazy people, the people in the villa would not even have to work and just eat the food she feeds.
September was hunting season for the nobility, but harvest season for the peasants.
The wheat is ripe, and the vast wheat fields are full of busy farmers.
Although this year has experienced droughts and floods, the country as a whole has suffered from a poor harvest of agricultural products, but Fucui Villa has not been greatly affected.
After all, the farmland irrigated by Xia Qingdai and cared for with nutrition bars is different from other farmland that depends on the weather for food.
Xia Qingdai rode a horse through the harvested wheat fields and generously gave the pheasant she had hunted today to the first child on the wheat stack who said hello to her.
She has no shortage of food, and she doesn't hunt just for this morsel of game.
The meat of the pheasant was a bit thick and not as fat as the meat raised artificially on the farm. Xia Qingdai was just okay with it, so she didn't feel bad about giving it away at all.
As soon as the child took the pheasant given by Xia Qingdai, he excitedly spread the word: "Miss Xia's pheasant! Miss Xia's pheasant!"
This effect is clearly better than the Brown brothers circling the field several times.
The short weekend passed, and even though Xia Qingdai used the weekend nights, the time still came when she had to leave home to go to school.
Xia Qingdai drove the big red Ferrari model that she put into the castle to say goodbye to everyone in Fucui Villa, while Owen drove an off-road vehicle to escort them.
The car drove along the tree-lined avenue of the village. This is already the best village road, which can pass large carriages, but it is obviously not enough for a Ferrari sports car with a low chassis and high road requirements, which makes Xia Qingdai doubt her life.
