I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 364: Three Idiots on the Sled
The three sled dogs on the farm were bought and raised by Owen after Xia Qingdai mentioned them last year. He went to Siberia in Russia and Alaska, which had not yet been sold to the United States, to raise them.

The pure-blooded Siberian and Alaskan dogs were less than a year old when they were bought. After more than half a year, these puppies have grown into beautiful and smooth adult dogs.

Today, four Alaskan Malamutes, six Huskies and eight Sayan dogs were all out and were driven out by two farm workers on leashes.

Xia Qingdai loved the snow-white, smiling Samoyeds the most, so these eight Samoyeds were prepared for her sled.

Generally, four to six sled dogs are enough to pull a sled. Owen is tall, big and heavy, so six dogs are used directly, while Xia Qingdai is lighter, so four Sayama dogs can pull her up. The remaining sled dogs are on standby, waiting for their turn.

The place for sledding is a pasture covered with snow. The once endless wilderness has now turned into a vast expanse of white.

Ignoring the cold, the view was stunning.

Xia Qingdai was wrapped in a thick fur robe and wearing a Bonnet hat, which was very characteristic of the 18th century. It had a layer of silk on the outside, fur sewn on the inside, and was tied to the chin with a ribbon.

This style of hat is somewhat similar to China's Lei Feng hat, both of which can keep the ears warm.

Owen was dressed similarly, the only difference being his hat, which was a brown tricorner that was more decorative than practical.

Xia Qingdai asked him to get a Bonnet hat as well, but he quietly changed the subject and pretended not to hear. This was the last act of stubbornness from this gentleman who always obeyed her.

Xia Qingdai doesn't have a strong desire to control, and doesn't force others to do things according to her own ideas.

With a shout from the farm worker, the three sled dogs started running in the snow on the pasture.

Snowflakes were flying under their claws and the cold wind blew on their faces, feeling sour and stimulating. Xia Qingdai couldn't help but let out a "Oh".

These dogs have all been specially trained. Their daily meals are very good, and their nutrition and training are very scientific. They are treated the same as Xia Qingdai and Owen's mounts on the farm.

It costs more to keep a sled dog than a farm worker.

That is to say, on the one hand, Xia Qingdai introduced the KPI assessment system to manage the household, and on the other hand, Fucui Villa was blessed by the "God", and food was piled up like mountains, so even the lowest-level servants could have enough to eat, otherwise there would definitely be servants who stole dog food.

In other estates, it is an unspoken secret to deduct some food expenses from BMWs and hounds.

After running two hundred meters back and forth in the snow, the three sled dogs pulled their two owners back to the original place, and then barked at the breeders. Their excitement was no less than that of the human owners sitting on the sled.

Xia Qingdai patted her red face and quickly took out the mask from her bag. The cold wind penetrated her stomach and she felt uncomfortable.

As a would-be Chinese medicine practitioner, I must not allow cold air to enter my body.

"Owen, would you like one too? Otherwise the cold wind will go into your stomach and you will have a stomachache later." Xia Qingdai said as she reached out and handed a mask to Owen.

"Thank you." Owen stretched out his hand, took it, put it on silently, and touched his ears calmly.

The wind is biting cold and the tricorn hat is really useless.

But in order to look handsome, he had to endure it and would rather die than wear a Bonnet hat.

After putting on masks and rotating several sled dogs, the second round of fun games began.

In addition to Xia Qingdai, Owen and the dogs, there were many children from the farm who were attracted by Xia Qingdai's loud laughter. These little guys were the best fans, standing far away on the sidelines, clapping their hands with snowballs, jumping, and shouting, making the atmosphere just like a stadium.

Xia Qingdai was reminded by the cheers and shouted to Owen in high spirits: "Owen, let's have a competition. It's boring to just run like crazy."

"Okay." Since the goddess wanted to compete, Owen would naturally accompany her.

"Okay, let's get started. The loser will get afternoon tea and snacks later!"

Owen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said calmly again: "Okay."

"Dogs, go!"

Xia Qingdai stood up from the sled and waved her hand, and the three sled idiots rushed out. Due to inertia, Xia Qingdai fell directly on the seat, and she laughed at herself.

This match was a best-of-three match, and the result was self-evident. Xia Qingdai lost all three games. Who told Owen to have six sled dogs pulling the cart? And each of them was a circle bigger than Xia Qingdai's Sayemo!

Even if Owen wanted to be humble, he couldn't do it, because the ones pulling the sled were Dasha and Erha, and they were mainly disobedient.

But Xia Qingdai didn't care about winning or losing, she just played for fun. Otherwise, she would have asked to change the dog when she lost the first game.

After the two finished competing, they even asked the children to play with them. Xia Qingdai was in a playful mood and started to cosplay Santa Claus, using a modern Christmas red sock - which was a giant gift for Lilliputians.

It was filled with small candles, packaged fruit gummies, potatoes, sweet potatoes, jars of blueberry jam, strawberry jam, blackcurrant, raspberry jam, etc.

The children were so happy that even the farm workers were jealous. They only regretted that their own children were too young to join in the gift-grabbing game.

They played until about three in the afternoon, when Xia Qingdai and Owen stopped, still unsatisfied.

However, she did not plan to go back to the castle for afternoon tea immediately. Instead, she turned the car around and drove towards the pastor's apartment next to the church.

Owen is a living map. Once he leaves the scope of the original map, he will naturally be inseparable from Xia Qingdai.

In the parsonage on the other side, Jane Austen bent over her small desk and wrote furiously. She was writing a revised version of Pride and Prejudice, the title of which was inspired by Xia Qingdai.

It has to be said that Xia Qingdai is the friend who understands her best, even better than her dear sister.

At this moment, the maid Utuya's shouting came from downstairs, making it impossible for people to continue writing.

Jane Austen stopped writing, hid her manuscripts, and then opened the door to listen to the noise downstairs.

Utuya's excited voice came up the corridor: "Mrs. Austin, look at the white bread I bought at the market today! What a good white bread! You can buy three for one penny! Only one less than the brown bread!"

"Oh, good job, Utuya, we are lucky to have you." Mrs. Austin's voice was full of joy. "The road is icy. Are there many people at the market?"

"Not many people, but I'm afraid there will be more soon. This is white bread sold at a discount by traveling merchants from London. Once it's sold out, it's gone."

"Well, take another shilling and go get some more cheap white bread!"

"Yes, ma'am!"
