I was a god in the 18th century

After simmering over slow fire, Xia Qingdai naturally didn't have the energy to wait for the medicine to be cooked. After telling the two sisters what to pay attention to, she left first and went to find lessons with Owen, Gauss and others.

Barbara didn't have the patience to wait in the kitchen. She felt that the kitchen was a place for low-class people, and the smell inside was tormenting her every minute.

So after Xia Qingdai left, she said to her sister Caroline: "Just leave the rest to the servants. I believe they are better than us in the kitchen."

Caroline knew what her eldest sister meant and replied: "I have nothing to do now, just let me wait here. You can go read to your mother or play the piano to keep her company. You don't have to wait in the kitchen with me." "

Barbara followed the trend, said a few words casually, then turned and left.

She first went to the room where her mother was lying, and found that the latter's face was indeed much better than yesterday, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.

After saying a few words to her mother, Barbara left the room and walked to the large living room, where she sat and chatted with Mrs. Brutner and Owen's other cousin Connie.

After the Chinese medicine was almost gone, Caroline got up and went to the study to find Xia Qingdai.

She knocked on the open study door and said with a stunned look on her face: "Sorry to bother you. Miss Xia, the medicine is ready. What should I do next?"

Xia Qingdai put down the quill in her hand, nodded lightly to Owen and others, and then followed Caroline out.

The medicine was poured out into just one bowl. Xia Qingdai put the medicine bowl on the tray and said to Caroline: "This is a bowl like this. Give your mother the medicine and let her drink it in one go." The remaining medicine can be boiled twice with water, and tomorrow the medicine residue will be replaced and new medicine added."

"Okay, thank you!" Caroline saluted Xia Qingdai, then picked up the medicine and left.

"Hey, wait, bring another bowl of water, drink the medicine and rinse your mouth." Xia Qingdai called to her.

"Okay." Caroline said calmly.

Xia Qingdai had been studying for almost a class when the wool merchant came, so she simply took a rest.

First, go to your bedroom on the second floor, return to modern times, and take out the medical kit that you put in the room before. It contains alcohol disinfectant gel and disposable medical masks.

Squeeze some alcohol gel into a mini ceramic jar and put it in the castle. One jar can be used for a year.

The mask is made of non-woven fabric and melt-blown fabric, and it should become smaller when worn on the face.

After getting ready, Xia Qingdai pressed the button on the roof of the castle. The scene in front of her eyes changed, and she had returned to the castle room.

There was a "bang" sound.

A human-like white metal bar fell to the floor along the bridge of her nose, almost scratching her nose.

I almost forgot that there was this easy-to-shape metal strip in the mask, which shocked Xia Qingdai. Fortunately, after becoming a villain, the curvature of the metal bar has become large enough.

"Duh!" There was a knock on the bedroom door, followed by the voice of the maid Mary.

"Miss, did something fall? Do you need help?"

Xia Qingdai came back to her senses and said: "No, it's okay." She touched the mask on her face. Except for the metal strip, the rest shrank with the person like her clothes and shoes.

"Fortunately, I never wear bras with steel rings." Xia Qingdai diverged her thoughts and muttered to herself in a low voice. Xindao, you have to be careful when you transform in the future. Don’t wear metal jewelry, otherwise you will become a villain and get crushed!
After being prepared for protection, Xia Qingdai opened the door and went downstairs to check on her patients!

Caroline and old Mrs. Irving were now facing this bowl of dark concoction, staring at each other with big eyes.

Old Mrs. Irving frowned slightly, already feeling nauseous before she even had her entrance.

The image of a witch burning poison in the flames and the gurgling black water popped up in her mind, and she didn't dare to speak.

Xia Qingdai walked in, saw her hesitation, and said, "If you want to survive, you have to drink medicine. This medicine costs ten pounds a bag. After the disease is cured, you have to pay."

In modern times, the cost of buying a pair of such medicines is less than 100, and the biggest cost should be the cost of time. In order to calculate the amount suitable for the villain, she cut and wrapped the medicine bit by bit, but it took Xia Qingdai a lot of effort.

You must know that she is now a senior in high school, and every day is precious!
So she didn't feel guilty at all when she made a random offer to the mother and daughter. The most important thing is that the emotional value they give is too low, so they have to collect money and use small amounts to balance their psychology.

Not to mention ten pounds, she said a hundred pounds is too little to take the medicine that can keep her alive.

When they heard that the concoction in their hands cost ten pounds, both old Mrs. Irving and Caroline were shocked, and their hands almost shook.

This is more expensive than the antipyretic powder given by a regular doctor!

Old Mrs. Owen had never saved any money in her life. Since her husband's death, she had only an inheritance of four thousand pounds with an annual interest rate of four cents. And her youngest daughter only received an inheritance of one thousand pounds as a future dowry.

In other words, based on the money the mother and daughter have now, they can only get two hundred pounds of interest income every year. Compared with their previous living standards, their living standards have naturally dropped significantly. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have dropped by a level.

Under such circumstances, a ten-pound pair of medicine is so expensive that it hurts. It is higher than the annual salary of a cook!
And what's worse is that the mother and daughter, who can only rely on their capital to earn a living without producing, have limited ways to increase their income in the future. However, since the late 18th century, with the development of the industrial revolution in full swing, food prices and labor wages have increased dramatically.

Under such a situation, old Mrs. Irving didn't feel much yet. She only spends her whole life thinking about food, clothing and pleasure, and doesn't like to think about anything else. But Caroline, who has not yet married the man she wants, is quite sad!
Thinking that this bowl of medicine was so expensive, Caroline solemnly put the medicine on the small table in front of her mother, picked it up, and handed it to her mother silently.

Old Mrs. Owen had to take it, hold her breath, and finish the ten pounds in one breath! Don’t waste a drop, even if it’s bitter!
After the old woman finished rinsing her mouth, Xia Qingdai stepped forward to feel her pulse, and then did a simple physical examination. She found that the recovery was as she expected, and she left the room. And promised the other party to give her another massage and cupping.

After the massage and cupping last night, old Mrs. Irving felt relaxed all over, so she kept thinking about it.

Xia Qingdai regarded it as a practical training and did not find it annoying.

Coming out of old Mrs. Owen's room, Owen just saw off the wool merchant.

Irving alone is responsible for the wool in the farms of Fucui Villa and Wanghe Villa, and Xia Qingdai is completely the hands-off shopkeeper.

Fortunately, Owen doesn't have to do everything himself. He just signs a contract, and the details are finalized by the farm accountant and steward and the wool merchant.

The set automatic update time is wrong, resulting in confusing chapters. This will be adjusted later.
