I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 158 Huge Ice Cream

On a rainy afternoon, Jane Austen sat in front of the wide open window and read a book. There was no wind in the hot summer, as if the rain just now was just a dream.

Shenlong likes the sun to rain, and this will surely become a known fact after today. Just looking at the excited crowd, they didn’t even say any serious prayers, they were just busy running around telling each other.

The area where Pastor Austin lives has already rained for the second time in this month. It is the most favored place by Shenlong besides Fucui Villa and Wanghe Villa.

Because of this, the people firmly believe that Shenlong is the dragon of justice from heaven, not the incarnation of evil. Otherwise, how could it dare to get close to the church!

"Jane! Jane! Miss Xia is here for you, come out quickly." Pastor Austin's voice came from the garden. At the same time, Jane also heard the sound of wheels running over the gravel road.

She put down the book in her hand and hurried to the door to greet her good friend Xia Qingdai.

"Hi, dear Jane, I'm not disturbing you, am I?"

Xia Qingdai jumped out of the off-road vehicle with a smile, reached out to take Jane's extended hand, and gave her a kiss and a kiss.

"Nice to meet you." Jane naturally welcomed Xia Qingdai's arrival happily and from the bottom of her heart.

Compared to the reserved happiness of the two girls on this side, Pastor Austin showed his excitement: "Oh, Mr. Owen, did you drive the car yourself? Is this the steam car invented by Mr. Watt?" I have heard about it for a long time, but I just saw you open it today."

Owen bowed politely and slightly, and then replied: "This is a tram. It uses electricity, not steam."

"Oh, electricity, electricity is good, no wonder it doesn't emit smoke. Mr. Marken said that steam engines in London emit smoke, hahaha."

Pastor Austin took Owen to chat, while Xia Qingdai had followed Jane to the swing in the garden to play on the swing.

This is a very small country house. The front and back yards were originally full of flowers. When Pastor Austin is not reading the Bible, his favorite thing to do is to tend his garden, and Jane often helps to prune the flowers.

But unfortunately, due to the drought, almost all the flowers and plants in the garden died this year. Thanks to a timely rain last month, we were able to recover a little bit, and new sprouts appeared on the lawn, giving it some greenery.

At this time, Xia Qingdai was stepping on the green grass, smelling the smell of grass after the rain, and felt particularly relaxed.

In the eighteenth century, the most troublesome thing for Xia Qingdai was that whenever she went out, she had to take Owen with her. Therefore, under normal circumstances, she does not go out and prefers to invite Jane to Fucui Villa as a guest.

The reason why she came out today was just because she wanted to invite Jane Austen and her sister to go to London with her for a summer trip. An invitation in person would be more sincere.

After Xia Qingdai expressed this idea, Jane's sister first thanked her and then declined, saying that she would stay at home with her mother, but she insisted that Jane just go out with Xia Qingdai to relax.

Girls who are in the social season should walk more. But Jane's sister is actually a non-marriage advocate, so she is unwilling to travel far to socialize.

What's more, she knew in her heart that the only friend Miss Xia really wanted to invite was her sister Jane, and she and Xia Qingdai had no common topics.

In the hot summer, Jane Austen was naturally willing to go to London for a summer vacation, not to mention staying at a good friend's house.

Therefore, Jane agreed to Xia Qingdai's invitation without hesitating for too long.

Xia Qingdai happily raised her head and shouted to Jane: "Quick, push me hard, I want to fly."

"Yes, as you command." Jane smiled mischievously, pushed hard on the back of the swing chair, and Xia Qingdai swung out.

"Ah ha ha ha!" The laughter of girls was all under the swing, which made the chirping of cicadas in summer not so annoying.

After playing on the swing for a while, the cook in the room came and called the three ladies and two gentlemen to come and have tea together.

Xia Qingdai didn't want to drink the British tea with added sugar, so she suddenly stood up from the swing and said: "Miss Austin, come with me to Fortress Villa! There is delicious ice cream today, take a bite in the summer. Absolutely comfortable!”

"Let's drink tea first." Jane's sister said.

"Let's go, what kind of tea should we drink? My stomach can't bear the cold and heat." Xia Qingdai took Jane's hand and didn't want to delay for a moment.

Although there are two hundred-year-old trees on the swing blocking the sun, it is still hot. The empty Fucui Villa is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is much more comfortable than the courtyard of the pastor's house!
Both ladies finally agreed to Xia Qingdai's invitation.

Even Xia Qingdai, a wealthy lady who seems to have seen a lot of things, her eyes light up when she talks about this ice cream. It actually arouses their curiosity, how delicious can it be?

Due to the severe drought this summer, the price of ice cream and cold drinks has risen to sky-high prices. Even among the upper class, only the richest people are willing to enjoy it.

The impoverished Pastor Austin family naturally did not know how to consume.

Xia Qingdai was leaving, and Irving acted as the driver. He had nothing to talk about with Pastor Austin, and it was very tiring to stand here chatting awkwardly.

Although Pastor Austin is the pastor of his diocese, there is an age difference between the two and there is a generation gap. Even though Pastor Austin tried his best to cater to Owen, the conversation still seemed dry and it would be best to leave as soon as possible.

An off-road vehicle, it can seat four people without any problem. The Austin sisters sat in the back seat together, Xia Qingdai sat in the passenger seat, and Owen drove in the driver's seat.

Pressing the forward switch, the off-road vehicle quickly rushed deeper into the boulevard.

Jane had never been in such a car before, and it was very novel for a moment.

The car without air conditioning was actually a bit stuffy inside due to the scorching sun for a while. Fortunately, the seats were custom-fitted with summer mats, and the wind blowing in from the window barely managed to dissipate some of the heat.

It's only a few minutes' drive from the pastor's house to Fucui Villa.

Before I had enough of the scenery on the car, the gate of the villa appeared in front of me!
Owen drove the off-road vehicle directly into the garage connected to the stable in the backyard. Xia Qingdai was the first to open the door and jumped out of the car. She turned back to Jane and smiled: "I'll excuse you for a moment."

Jian said understandingly: "Okay."

Xia Qingdai ran to her room on the second floor in three steps at a time, but there was no one inside. Today's hygiene has been done long ago, and Mary is probably sitting in the servants' area on the first floor drinking tea, chatting, and resting.

Xia Qingdai returned to modern times with a thought, walked to the kitchen in the dark, and took out a tub of ice cream from the refrigerator that her brother had just bought home yesterday.

Go back to the room and lock the door, open the lid of the ice cream, use the matching spoon to pry open the layer of chocolate covering it, and break it into pieces. Then he gently put the lid on and stuffed it into the open window of the castle, startling the maid who was cleaning the furniture inside.

"Oh, God!" the maid couldn't help but cross herself.

Although she now firmly believes in the true God, God will always be her white moonlight. When something strange happens suddenly, the first thing that comes to mind is God.
