I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 360 Chance Encounter
Because the square is close to the university, the brands inside are mostly domestic products, and there are no high-end luxury goods that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Most of the top floor is a restaurant, and a small part is an amusement park.

The French restaurant that Xia Qingdai and others came to eat was on the top floor here. The table they booked was next to the floor-to-ceiling window, which was just right for overlooking the night view of Jiangcheng.

This is a French restaurant with a relatively high cost-effectiveness, with prices starting from 300 per person.

Although Xia Qingdai had become a millionaire in a short time after owning the castle, she was frugal in her nature and would never spend money in revenge like ordinary nouveau riche. She decisively chose the cheapest set meal in the restaurant at 328 per person.

None of the roommates had any objections, and even Xia Shishi didn't say much. They were all students, and even if it was the cheapest meal, she would feel bad if she was asked to treat them.

Shi Yan didn't dare to say anything when she saw the price list. A meal for these four people was equivalent to her living expenses for a month. She felt sorry for Xia Qingdai.

After Xia Qingdai ordered the food, she asked them what drinks they wanted. Shi Yan said first, "I don't want any drinks. I think this lemonade is delicious."

"Ahahaha, Shi Yan, are you saving money for Qingdai?" Xia Shishi laughed, "Then I'll drink lemonade too. It's Qingdai who's spending money today!"

Cheng Xiao followed up with, "I'm fine too."

Xia Qingdai said generously, "Since we're here, we can have a drink. How about everyone have a glass of lemon coke?"

"Okay, it's your treat, you have the final say."

The first dish served was a complimentary plate of fried peanuts. Although they didn't buy any wine, the restaurant still gave them as a side dish.

"Ha, this dish has Chinese characteristics." Xia Qingdai commented with a smile.

"Who said it wasn't?" Cheng Xiao replied.

Next came a small cup of raw marinated salmon with caviar. Xia Shishi joked, "Do you think the caviar at this price is real caviar or domestic caviar made from kelp?"

Shi Yan was surprised and said, "Ah, kelp can be made into caviar? Isn't caviar fish roe?"

Xia Qingdai said casually, "Isn't this obvious? Real caviar costs more than 200,000 yuan per spoonful, and our set meal is only over 300 yuan. Is this enough for one spoonful?"

"Is it really made of kelp?" Shi Yan tasted it and exclaimed, "It's quite delicious. I can't even taste the kelp."

Cheng Xiao said: "Our Chinese agricultural scientists are really awesome. They drive foreign capitalists crazy and force the high-priced caviar into the homes of ordinary people."

"Yes, that's right. There are also watermelons. Mrs. Wu Mingzhu let us have the watermelon freely." Xia Shishi took pictures at chosen angles and then started eating.

"Today's good life is hard-won. Chinese people are indeed blessed. There are always heroes at the forefront. I will never regret choosing China in this life, and I will choose to choose a flower-growing country in the next life. Come, let's toast to the delicious food!"

Xia Qingdai had finished her meal, and now another exquisite mini cold dish was served: burrata cheese mousse with avocado shreds and seasoned basil oil at the bottom, which looked quite delicious.

Just as she was about to put down the steel fork, Xia Shishi stopped her: "Wait, wait, let me take some nice photos first."

"Okay." Xia Qingdai smiled and raised her hand, allowing her to pose for the photo.

This was followed by black truffle mashed potatoes, chilled abalone slices with okra sauce and eggplant puree, fried red devil prawns with curry sauce, fried snapper with bell pepper sauce, and lamb.

The plates are large but the ingredients are very limited. Just one portion per person, and those with a bigger appetite will not be full.

Xia Qingdai needed more energy, so she didn't eat enough. The main course was a M9 wagyu topside, which was only half the size of a palm, and the main focus was on eating it delicately and presenting it on the plate.

"Hiss, these plates are so hot." Shi Yan had been accidentally scalded twice.

It was her first time to eat such high-end French food in a place like this, so she felt a little restrained.

Xia Shishi laughed and explained to her: "When serving hot dishes in French cuisine, the plates must be hot, otherwise it would not be professional. If the temperature is not right, the dishes will not taste good."

"Oh, there is such a saying." Shi Yan nodded and took note of it silently.

Xia Qingdai spent most of her time eating, not talking much, and not really interested in taking photos. But she had a roommate who loved taking photos, so she had to take a lot of photos with her.

After the main course, Shi Yan and Cheng Xiao began to surround Xia Shishi, taking pictures and photoshopping the pictures they had just taken.

In fact, Xia Qingdai already wanted to go back at this time, because dinner was already over and it would be a waste of time to continue sitting in the restaurant.

As for the night view outside the window, she was not in the mood to appreciate it. Now her mind was full of the castle, but she tried to speak several times, but was interrupted by her roommates who kept taking selfies.

Xia Qingdai took a big sip of lemon water to suppress her irritability. She looked at the time on her phone. It was only half past seven, which was still early. She decided to wait another ten minutes.

At this moment, a familiar voice came to Xia Qingdai's ears.

"Hello, are you Li Bai on the Milky Way?" The speaker was a clear and beautiful female voice, and the voice alone had the temperament of a beautiful woman.

Xia Qingdai looked in the direction of the voice and saw the familiar face at the back of a row of potted plants - her childhood friend, Wang Yanzeng.

Because Xia Qingdai has very good hearing, she can hear the sound over there if she concentrates a little.

After just two or three sentences, Xia Qingdai figured out that this was a scene of a netizen meeting in person. And the boy sitting opposite Wang Yanzeng didn't seem to be enthusiastic.

Xia Qingdai didn't continue listening, but took out her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Wang Yanzeng.

Xia Qingdai: Yan Zeng, guess where I am.

After a few seconds, Wang Yanzeng replied on WeChat: You are not also in this French restaurant, are you?
Xia Qingdai took a photo of the surrounding environment and sent it to her, with the note: Bingo, correct answer.

Wang Yanzeng: Oh my God, what a coincidence.

Xia Qingdai: Have you booked a hotel? If not, you can stay at my house tonight.

Wang Yanzeng: No, I have booked a hotel next door. I want to visit Jiangda tomorrow and will contact you later.

Xia Qingdai: Okay, I won’t bother you anymore (*∩_∩*)
After sending this message, Wang Yanzeng did not reply. Because of her amazing hearing, even if she did not listen deliberately, Xia Qingdai could passively hear the other party talking non-stop, and occasionally she laughed very crisply, which shows that the atmosphere of this online dating was quite harmonious.

Xia Qingdai was a little confused. When she met Wang Yanzeng last year, she had just gotten engaged. Why was she...

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset. Even if she saw her dating a male online friend, so what? She would not judge her casually.

Because Wang Yanzeng's fiancé has a gambling father and is not a good match. She had advised him to think twice last year, so maybe she has already broken off the engagement.
