I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 362 Nothing New Under the Sun
Xia Qingdai took the bus and then the subway home, took a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom, and when she came out she received several WeChat messages from Wang Yan.

She walked into the room while holding her phone: "Brother, I'm going to sleep first, good night, don't write too late."

"I know, little housekeeper." Xia Shanglu waved his hand and continued to immerse himself in his own criminal investigation world.

In the book, he is a national expert who has a system that allows him to easily acquire countless criminal investigation skills, and the more he writes, the more excited he becomes.

Yesterday, the number of daily subscriptions exceeded 10,000, which instantly made Xia Shanglu excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. As soon as he got home and finished dinner, he sat in front of his laptop to read.

If his novels could gain popularity before he bought the improved house, he wouldn't have to rely on others for support!

Xia Qingdai didn't care much about her brother's novels, mainly because she really didn't have time to read novels. She had too many study tasks and was too tight, so as soon as she entered the room, she left her brother behind and sat on the edge of the bed, browsing her phone.

Wang Yan once excitedly told Xia Qingdai that she came to Jiangcheng to meet her online friend and might stay in Jiangcheng to work in the future.

Now she rents a house in Wengshan. Since it is a rented house anyway, there seems to be not much difference between living in Wengshan and living in Jiangcheng.

When I was in middle school, I couldn’t confess my love to the top student I had a crush on, but now I’m an adult and it’s a rare opportunity to meet someone I fall in love with at first sight, so how can I not seize the opportunity!
She wanted to come to Jiangcheng to be brave for love once, and also to take the opportunity to completely get rid of her parents' nagging and her ex-boyfriend's entanglement.

The first time they met, they had a tacit understanding of falling in love. Wang Yanzeng was not opposed to this at all, and even felt a little happy.

Young people in their 18s and 19s are particularly prone to being carried away by love. As soon as they feel a little moved, they think they can be together forever. This is an age when three to five years is equivalent to a lifetime.

Xia Qingdai was really shocked when she saw the message Wang Yanzeng sent her! Such a dramatic thing could actually happen to her childhood friend.

She could only sigh that TV plots are indeed based on reality, and sometimes reality could not be more illogical and dramatic.

Xia Qingdai: So, you have cancelled the engagement with the previous guy?
Wang Yanzeng: It has been cancelled. You are right, gambling is impossible to quit. Although Ah Hui himself does not gamble, his father does. It is hard to say whether he will start gambling after being influenced by him.

Xia Qingdai: Congratulations, you can open the blind box again.

Wang Yanzeng: Hehehe, I’ve already opened it!

Xia Qingdai: What a speed! So, the other person is my Jiangda alumnus? Then you go to Jiangda tomorrow, and I won’t be a light bulb.

Wang Yanzeng: It's up to you. Let's make an appointment next time. I will look for a house in Jiangcheng in the next two days. I will stay in the provincial capital to work in the future, so there will be many opportunities for us to meet.

Xia Qingdai: Very good, very proactive. What is your job now?

Wang Yanzeng: I sell cosmetics, but they are not very good. I plan to go to Jiangcheng to find a job. But I only have a junior high school education, so I don’t know what I can do. I will take it one step at a time.

Xia Qingdai: You have great makeup skills. You will also provide free makeup to customers if you work for Mary Kay, right? Why don't you find a job as a makeup artist? I think it would be a good idea.

Wang Yanzeng: Oh, really! I haven't thought about this direction yet, it's definitely worth a try! Thank you for your reminder ^_^
Xia Qingdai: You’re welcome. We’ll make an appointment when you’ve settled down.

Wang Yanzeng: Okay, I won’t bother you anymore. Good night.

After Xia Qingdai replied, she was about to enter the castle when her cell phone rang again. She clicked it and saw that it was still a WeChat message from Wang Yan.

Wang Yanzeng:!!! I give in! Qingdai! I met the wrong person today!

Xia Qingdai: Huh (⊙o⊙)? Wang Yanzeng: I just opened the game and found that my private mailbox was full. The netizen waited for me for half an hour, angrily scolded me, and blocked me...

Xia Qingdai: ...It's hard to judge. Who did you fall in love with at first sight today?

Wang Yanzeng: I don’t know.

Xia Qingdai: Didn’t you leave a new contact number? Go ask.

Wang Yanzeng: But...I think he is very handsome and humorous.

Xia Qingdai: ...Then just play dumb.

Wang Yanzeng:ヘ(^o^)ノ＼(^_^)
Xia Qingdai shook her head and laughed. She couldn't help but run out of the room to share this misunderstanding about her childhood friend with her brother.

Xia Shanglu shook his head from the perspective of a policeman: "They've only been chatting for a month and they're already going out to meet someone else. The chances of being cheated are dozens of times higher than having a romantic encounter! I really don't know what's in these people's heads."

Xia Qingdai said unhappily: "Oh, the result is good. She met a handsome guy who drives a Range Rover."

"She doesn't know she made a mistake. The other party must know it, but she won't say it... Your childhood friend is pretty?"

"Wang Yanzeng, the one with round eyes, don't you remember?"

"Oh, that slug."

"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to sleep. Bye!" Xia Qingdai was so angry that she closed the door, threw her cell phone away, and lay on the glass tank overlooking the Lilliput country.

Below was still a world of snow, the ground was vast and desolate, no roads could be seen, only wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys of the ancient castle.

There was no sign of children in sight of the villa. It was obviously very cold and everyone was hiding indoors.

This is the off-season for farming, and the roads are blocked by heavy snow, which is a perfect time to sit around the fire, make tea and read.

Xia Qingdai didn't plan to call Owen out. It was so cold, so it was better not to let him go out and freeze.

She turned around and put on the long down jacket she had just taken off, and then she suddenly realized that she was not in the castle, but in Owen's experimental cabin.

Xia Qingdai's appearance interrupted Owen's thoughts. He turned to look at Xia Qingdai and saluted: "You are here."

"What's wrong? You don't look well."

Owen said, "Today I found that the cheap tea that the servants in the castle drank was a bit strange, so I took it here and tested it with chemical reagents. I found that the tea labeled "Huaxia Tea" was just worthless blackthorn leaves that were dyed with copper sulfate and dried."

Xia Qingdai was surprised and said, "Ah, in this era, there are unscrupulous merchants who do this kind of thing?"

"Yes." Owen frowned slightly, "These must be destroyed. But I have to find out the source first. The owner of the department store in town doesn't have the chemistry level to fake it."

Food safety is an unavoidable issue in the 21st century and ordinary people are helpless.

Especially now, there is the disgusting thing that Japan is discharging nuclear wastewater into the sea, and the civilians are lying and dying. But I never thought that such a thing would happen in ancient times when chemistry was not developed. It was so difficult for ordinary people to live!
It turns out that Marx was right. Capital will commit any crime for a 300% profit.
