I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 376 Feeding Chocolate

After dinner, Xia Shanglu typed while Xia Qingdai washed the dishes. While washing, she shouted, "Brother, when will the transfer procedures for our new home be completed?"

Xia Shanglu replied absentmindedly: "What, can't you stay here anymore?"

"Yesterday I saw a new kitchen with an under-sink dishwasher, and it has three compartments."

"Ha, after all this time you don't want to wash the dishes."

Xia Qingdai sighed: "Who would like to wash dishes?"

"Don't worry, it will be quick. Now banks can't wait to call you every day to lend you money." The sound of Xia Shanglu typing on the keyboard was louder than his voice.

In other words, Xia Qingdai's hearing is better than that of ordinary people, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hear what he said.

Knowing that her brother was too busy typing to talk to her, Xia Qingdai quickly washed the dishes, then went back to her room, closed the door and played with the castle.

The two siblings are busy with their own things and do not interfere with each other.

Xia Shanglu's subscriptions exploded again yesterday, and he was encouraged, and now his ideas are flowing like a spring. Writing stories that he likes, and there are readers willing to pay for them, can turn his hobby into a career, which is simply a wonderful article shining into reality, and just thinking about it gives him a lot of motivation.

As for Xia Qingdai, she was holding palm-sized pieces of silk cloth, one, two, three or four pieces, and spreading them on the corridor on the second floor of the castle.

The side window safety here was left on purpose by Xia Qingdai. It was not fastened and could be opened with a light push of the finger.

The wooden floor in the corridor is wiped clean every day, so you can put silk fabrics on it without worrying about them getting dirty.

If it weren't for the heavy rain last night that caused the ground in the front and back yards to be wet, Xia Qingdai could have saved herself the trouble and just put it in the yard.

Now I have to hook my fingers and put them on the corridor on the second floor. Fortunately, she is still interested.

At this time, some servants in the castle had already gotten up and started working.

For example, the fire girl who was responsible for changing the firewood for the fireplace every day had just finished changing the firewood in the living room of Irving's suite and came out when she suddenly noticed the "cloth" constantly "appearing" from the side window.

"Oh! My God!" The fire-girl covered her mouth and screamed, at a loss for a moment.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp in the corridor, the scene of flying cloth looked very scary.

But soon, she realized that this was the guardian god of the castle bestowing the divine object.

Her knees went weak and she quickly knelt on the ground, put the bamboo basket filled with firewood in her arms aside, clasped her hands together, and prayed in a low voice.

Xia Qingdai could hear a mosquito-like "buzzing" sound in her ears, and she knew that there were more than one person praying devoutly to her at this moment, and she felt even happier.

Look, they are all believers who give her strength. Her efforts are not wasted at all.

After putting the silk scraps away, Xia Qingdai touched her chin, wondering what other surprise she could give everyone.

He turned his head and looked around the room, and found a snack box, so he stretched out his hand and picked out a piece of loose Dove chocolate from it. This was the wedding candy sent by the parents of the child downstairs who had been scared to tears by Xia Qingdai several times when they re-held their wedding.

Xia Qingdai tore open the small packaging bag, revealing a small piece of chocolate inside. Although this was only enough for Xia Qingdai to eat in one mouthful, if she put it in the Lilliputian country, it would be almost half a person's height, which would definitely satisfy the sweet-loving British people.

Xia Qingdai was just about to put the chocolate down when she suddenly saw a furry and cute blond head appearing by the window.

The proportion of blondes in the UK is not high, especially in adulthood. Many people with blonde hair as children will gradually turn their hair darker or browner as adults.

But Owen was very different. Xia Qingdai always felt that his blond hair was even blonder than when she first met him last year. This went against the rule that hair color darkens with age, and made his skin look even whiter.

In the 21st century, Europeans and Americans probably prefer darker skin, because it makes them look like they travel a lot and are knowledgeable. But in the 18th century, white was the most noble color among the nobility, and the whiter, the better.

In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth got a little tanned in the summer, which caused the Miss Bingleys to laugh at her.

At this moment, Xia Qingdai looked at the blond little Owen and said happily: "Owen, you got up so early?"

Owen saluted from a distance, then raised his head and replied: "Well, I heard some noise outside, so I got up to take a look."

Xia Qingdai put down the chocolate with a smile, then stretched out her finger and said, "Owen, take these silk fabrics and distribute them to everyone in the villa. And here are the chocolates, we can eat them later."

"Okay." Owen thanked Xia Qingdai and waved to the fire-making girl who was praying more devoutly with her eyes closed.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, he laughed and said, "Hey, open your eyes, can you hear me?"

The fire-stoking girl just saw Owen coming over and talking to the air. She knew that the true God was nearby, so she quickly closed her eyes and prayed even harder.

At this moment, he could vaguely hear Owen's voice. He quickly opened his eyes, got up, looked at Owen, knelt down and said, "Mr. Earl, you called me?"

Owen nodded: "Go and inform the housekeeper and ask them to arrange someone to come and deal with these fabrics and this piece of chocolate."

"Yes!" The fire girl looked at the cloth and chocolate, and was secretly surprised. Is this chocolate? What a big piece of chocolate!
There is indeed no hunger in heaven. Just look at the lettuces as tall as trees, cod fillets as big as mats, and triangular cheeses bigger than humans that God gives us every time. This shows how abundant food there is in heaven.

Just a little bit given would be enough for an ordinary person to eat for a whole season.

Compared to the silk fabric that is several meters wide, the half-person-sized chocolate is obviously more visually shocking.

After all, there are many silk fabrics that are larger than the one in front of you, but I have never seen a chocolate bar that big.

Normally, having a piece of chocolate the size of your palm is a big deal.

In the 18th century, chocolate was already on the tables of European aristocrats, but its taste was far inferior to that of later generations.

As for the British who lived isolated on the sea, it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that British merchants introduced chocolate to Britain and added milk to create milk chocolate that suited the British taste.

But Fucui Villa is different. With Xia Qingdai here, we can enjoy future delicacies in advance.

"I wonder what the chocolate from heaven tastes like. I heard that the true God once gave it down, but unfortunately I didn't get any." The fire-burning girl muttered to herself as she went downstairs, her heart full of curiosity about the chocolate.

She didn't think such luxurious silk fabrics had anything to do with her. But the delicacies bestowed by the true God, Master Owen and Cousin Xia Qingdai, would often give some to their servants.

However, as she walked downstairs with her head lowered, she was startled by the housekeeper Lim, who was wearing a large black skirt and stared at her with an unfriendly look.
