I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 505 Big Purchase

While browsing the military forum, Xia Qingdai discovered another great treasure - two mini Gatling cannons.

One of them is made of black powder and steel balls. It is half the size of a palm and has twenty-one trajectories. If the fuse is lit at the same time, although it is small, its lethality is very great.

Of course, what Xia Qingdai saw was a demonstration video shot by the seller abroad. The one sold in China was just a pure model. There were matching steel balls, but the black powder was not sold as a set, so she had to find another way.

The other one is easier to get because its shells are slimmed-down cans and are not controlled items. Even though it is not real gunpowder, it is still powerful and would definitely be a killer in Lilliput.

Without saying anything, Xia Qingdai placed an order for 20 units each, which cost her more than 40,000 yuan. It was really expensive to buy these things, but fortunately she was not poor now.

After buying all the mini weapons available online, it was already dawn in Hyundai. Xia Qingdai took off the makeup she had done the previous night by specially going to the West Lake at the time when people were getting off work.

Just as she was back to her natural look, her brother Xia Shanglu knocked on her door, calling her to get up and have breakfast. Even if it was summer vacation, Xia Shanglu would never allow his sister to skip breakfast because of sleeping in.

After having breakfast with her brother, Xia Qingdai saw him go to work and immediately went out to buy fireworks.

It was July now, and it was still early for the Chinese New Year, so it was hard to find a place to buy fireworks. But Xia Qingdai didn't spend too much time on this, because she quickly thought of a place that would definitely have this business all year round - a wedding company.

Chinese people cannot live without fireworks for both red and white events, so you can find a wedding shop or a funeral shop and you will definitely be able to buy what she wants.

In the end, it was just as Xia Qingdai had expected. She bought a 50-meter-long firecracker on the wedding street. It was said to have 10,000 explosions and looked like a huge round cake. It cost more than 100 yuan each, and Xia Qingdai bought more than a dozen.

In addition, there are also the Gatling fireworks that can be held in the hand, which can definitely be used as heavy weapons for the Lilliputians. This thing is cheap, only a dozen yuan each, Xia Qingdai bought 100 of them directly. She also added the store's WeChat to facilitate restocking next time.

I came home after buying fireworks and had just moved everything into my room when the doorbell rang.

She walked to the door and opened it, only to find that it was a property staff member pushing a cart. The cart contained the takeaway she ordered from JD.com, which was also filled with daily necessities she bought from the supermarket, such as rice, flour, oil, meat, etc.

Now that she had arrived at her mother's hometown in the eighteenth century and had seen the poor ancestors, Xia Qingdai would of course show her spiritual power in a magnanimous manner and collect the power of faith at the same time.

The property management fee for their community is eight yuan per square meter, which is quite high and almost as high as that of top luxury homes. Therefore, the service they provide is also five-star.

For the safety and privacy of the owners, the community implements a closed management system. External express deliveries and take-out meals are generally not allowed to enter. They are placed at the entrance of the community and then redelivered by the property management.

"Hello, owner. This is your takeaway. I saw there were a lot of things, so I loaded it on a cart."

"thank you."

Xia Qingdai opened the door and was about to move the things herself, but the property manager quickly helped her move them and said with a simple smile, "It's very heavy! Let me help you."

"Thank you for your help." Xia Qingdai didn't just stand there and watched, she started to move the things, "Just put them by the door for me, I'll sort them out later."

"Okay." The young man helped her swiftly and asked her with a simple smile, "Owner, I see you have stockpiled so much food. Has the epidemic started again recently?"

"Haha, that's not the case." Xia Qingdai replied with a smile without further explanation. The other party was also tactful and did not ask any further questions.

After the property manager left, Xia Qingdai looked at the supplies that covered half the floor, smiled, and said to herself, "So much rice, I'm afraid it's enough to feed the 500 million people of the Qing Dynasty for ten years!" In order to prevent her brother from finding out, she moved all these things into her cloakroom. Fortunately, she didn't have much clothes, otherwise there would be no place to put the Gatling fireworks and the 50-meter-long 10,000-bang firecrackers.

She didn't prepare all these things for Dinghai Island, some of them were gifts for Qianlong.

After a shopping trip outside, Xia Qingdai, who was sweating all over, went to the bathroom to take a shower first. Then she was not in a hurry to go to the Lilliput Kingdom, but went out again and took a taxi to the ancient costume makeup store in West Lake yesterday to do her styling, and by the way, she returned yesterday's ancient costume and changed into a fairy dress.

When I came back, I happened to meet Wang Yanzeng who was coming back from shopping for groceries with her boyfriend at the gate of the community.

"Qingdai?" Wang Yan once called Xia Qingdai a little uncertainly.

Xia Qingdai looked in the direction of the voice and smiled: "Yan Zeng, did you just come back from buying groceries?"

"Ah."

Wang Yanzeng took Yan Shaohua and walked quickly to Xia Qingdai's side. She looked her up and down and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Qingdai, are you cosplaying Little Dragon Girl? You look so fairy! Did you do this makeup yourself?"

"No, I did it in a shop in West Lake for fun."

"Hey, you asked someone else to make it, how much did it cost? Ask me next time, I'll make it for you for free, just treat me to an ice cream! Hehe! I'll be staying here for the time being, so feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"Yeah, okay!" Xia Qingdai said this, but in fact she would not really bother Wang Yanzeng.

She knew that if she went to ask Wang Yanzeng to do her makeup, Wang Yanzeng, a makeup artist, would definitely help her, but she would definitely not charge any fees. Free things are sometimes more expensive than paid things, and even though they were childhood friends, Xia Qingdai was not used to bothering others.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Yan Shaohua next to them politely invited, "It's quite hot outside, why don't you come to our house for dinner today? You two can chat more."

Xia Qingdai declined the offer, saying that she was about to go out, so the two sides waved goodbye and went home.

After walking a few steps, Wang Yan couldn't help but look back at Xia Qingdai's fairy-like figure, and asked Yan Shaohua with a smile: "Shao, do you think Qingdai is particularly beautiful today? Like a fairy."

Yan Shaohua asked nonchalantly, "Is there?"

"Yes, I have."

"Oh." Yan Shaohua showed a disinterested look, lowered his head and looked at Wang Yanzeng with a slight smile, "Not as good as someone."

As a veteran in the business world, how could Yan Shaohua make the mistake of praising other beauties in front of his girlfriend?

Sure enough, after he said that, Wang Yanzeng couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips and changed the subject: "I don't know if your cousin Yan Shixian still has hope to be with Qingdai. If they do, we will be relatives in the future."

"I don't know." Yan Shaohua shrugged.
