I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 375 It Snowed in Jiangcheng
A quarter of an hour later, Xia Qingdai pushed open the door of the music room as Owen had expected. She was radiant in a high-end silk Empire dress that had just arrived that day. She stood at the door with a smile on her face.

"Hey, Owen, take my picture."

In the light of the candle, Owen could see the beautiful woman's silk dress fluttering, her skirts swaying in the wind, and her bright eyes. His heart was in turmoil again.

He put the book down and stood up, bowing hurriedly, then adjusted his voice and said, "Okay."

I almost blurted out the word "beautiful", but quickly swallowed it.

Owen was already very familiar with using a phone holder with small wheels to push his phone to take pictures of Xia Qingdai.

Every time a new dress arrived, Xia Qingdai would take a photo. The two of them worked in perfect harmony and were very quick in choosing the scene and angle.

The main scene today is in this music room. The piano, harp, bookshelf, and the unique triangular coffee table for making tea are all the backgrounds for Xia Qingdai's photos. The model is beautiful, and the photographer has good aesthetics. A casual shot looks like a magazine blockbuster.

After taking dozens of photos of the two sets of clothes, Xia Qingdai smiled and waved to Owen, saying good night.

When she returned to her room, she naturally did not go to sleep. Instead, she changed her mind and traveled to the modern era. She reached out and took out her cell phone from her window.

It didn't take her much effort to select the photos, and she didn't need to blur them today because she used an oriental folding fan to cover her face. There were many photos without her face showing, so she could just pick them out and use them directly.

This time, she also planned to sell the Empire Dress at a high price. After all, this dress was not an assembly-line item that she had just bought from a small tailor before, but a high-end custom made by a court tailor. It was extremely exquisite from the fabric to the workmanship.

In the 18th century, these were the prices of luxury goods, and in modern times they would naturally be sold at a high price that matches their status.

That is, the decorations such as pearls and gems cannot grow along with the fabric. Otherwise, if she could get a bug, it would be easier for her to get rich.

Every time she customized a piece of clothing, she would request that no other decorations except the fabric be allowed on it, which in turn allowed the tailor to spend more time and effort to improve the design and sewing level.

Luxury goods in the 18th century were not as shameless as those in later generations. A paper clip could be sold for thousands of dollars, and the brand premium was staggering.

In the 18th century, if you wanted to sell for a good price, you had to have some real stuff. After all, the gentry who could afford to spend money at that time had not yet been brainwashed by advertisements and formed brand worship.

After posting the photos online, Xia Qingdai put her phone aside.

At this time, the castle was completely silent. There was no point in her going in, so she simply took the medical book, sat at the desk and started studying.

As long as her sleep needs are reduced, she will have more time. She can spend her weekends traveling around the 18th century without interrupting her studies.

When it was just getting dark during the study, Xia Shanglu, the grassroots worker on duty, came back looking exhausted.

Xia Qingdai had been reading medical books for the whole afternoon, and her head was a little confused. She put down the book in her hand, walked to her brother and asked, "Brother, what are we having for dinner?"

Xia Shanglu was preparing dinner, and he replied, "I bought you a few hairy crabs. How about cooking them tonight?"

"Okay, I like it!" Xia Qingdai leaned on the side, watching her brother brushing the crabs with a brush, and said lazily: "Brother, I was so focused on reading that I forgot to cook. Do you still want me to cook?"

Xia Shanglu waved his hands in disdain: "Let's go, let's go, go and have fun. I'll leave the cooking to your brother."

Xia Qingdai smiled brightly: "Hehe, okay, that's what you said, I'm not being lazy! Brother, you are busy, I'll play with my phone for a while to change my mind!" After saying that, she jumped back to her room. She didn't really pick up her phone to play, but lay on the mouth of the glass jar and looked at the Lilliput Kingdom for a while.

It was a non-still time, even the servants who woke up earlier than the chickens every day had not yet gotten up. The night patrollers also went back to the gatehouse to rest at this time.

Xia Qingdai looked at her Empire dress lying on the bed and suddenly thought of something. She squatted down and took out the bag of scraps of cloth from the drawer of her wardrobe and picked out some nice pieces of cloth.

These silks, which would be very expensive if sold as whole pieces, become cheaper than cabbage after being turned into scraps of cloth. You can buy several kilograms for just a dozen or twenty yuan.

Xia Qingdai has bought quite a few of them. It’s not that she actively looked for them online, but the big data saw that she was interested in this kind of thing and kept pushing it to her, so she placed orders several times without realizing it.

Christmas has just passed and New Year’s Day is coming next week.

The Gregorian New Year has begun. Xia Qingdai is thinking that in the new year, she must give some cloth to the little people in Lilliput as New Year's goods.

These scraps of silk fabric are of little use and worth little money in modern times, but they would be a huge piece in Lilliput.

Think about it, a little person is only the size of a finger, and these pieces of cloth are at least the size of a palm.

After sorting out some relatively good-looking scraps of cloth, Xia Qingdai enthusiastically sorted them by color and pattern so that both men and women could get the right ones.

The villain under her nose must not be dressed too poorly. As the saying goes, everyone's well-being is the real good.

Just as Xia Qingdai was distributing the cloth with great interest, Xia Shanglu's voice came from outside.

"Look, sister, it's snowing outside. Heavy snow!"

Xia Qingdai looked out the window and saw that the sky had turned completely dark without her noticing, and that heavy snow was actually falling.

However, Xia Qingdai, who experienced the snow scene every day in Lilliput Country, is now very calm when facing the snow in Jiangcheng - at least she looks much calmer than her brother Xia Shanglu.

Xia Shanglu was halfway through cooking when he excitedly turned off the fire and ran to the balcony to watch the snow!
"It's finally snowing for the second time in Jiangcheng. The snow is really heavy. I wonder if it can accumulate."

"I think it's difficult. When has there ever been snow in Jiangcheng?"

"There were some when you were a kid. One year, there was a lot of snow all over the country. Many roads were closed and several high-speed trains were suspended. But I haven't seen such heavy snow in the past ten years."

"Really?" Xia Qingdai tilted her head to look at her brother, "How come I don't have any impression of it at all! Isn't it just a little rain and snow in Jiangcheng?"

"You definitely don't remember. After all, you were only this old at that time, and you were the first one."

"Okay, you're old, and you have the final say." Xia Qingdai retorted casually.

The brother and sister were lying on the balcony talking, and soon they found that the originally quiet old building had become lively.

Many children ran out from below, and were playing crazy in the snow, running and jumping, screaming, just like the Monkey King when he was released from the Five Elements Mountain. They were so excited.

People in the South really have no resistance to snow.
