I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 407 I saved a meal for you

The three old classmates gathered in the living room of Xia Qingdai's house, ate some fruit and drank a cup of black tea, and then Xu Yan suggested visiting the house.

It was normal for friends to be curious since they had just moved into a new house. There was no such thing as a boudoir in today's society, and Yan Shixian had already been to her room on the day of the move. Therefore, Xia Qingdai took the two of them around the house in a leisurely manner.

The decoration of the room was standard, of good quality but without any surprising design. Xu Yan didn't feel particularly happy after looking around, but when she saw the huge landscape box on the bay window of Xia Qingdai's room, she was immediately attracted.

"Wow, it's an ancient castle!" She shouted as she rushed forward and leaned over the glass tank to look at it. "Where did you buy this? It looks so good! So interesting!"

What girl can resist a fairytale castle!

Xia Qingdai squeezed nervously next to Xu Yan, fearing that she would do something inappropriate. Upon hearing this, she only said, "This is a birthday present from my brother. Hey, don't put your hands on it. You can only look at it from a distance and don't touch it!"

Sure enough, Xu Yan couldn't help but wanted to fiddle with it, but Xia Qingdai quickly stopped her.

Her casual move could be a disaster for the Lilliput country.

"It's so precious." Xu Yan withdrew her hand that was about to reach out to touch the castle and asked curiously, "These mini flowers are so real, the pasture and the forest are also real, your landscape box is so realistic."

"Haha." Xia Qingdai laughed dryly, "Let's go, let's go to the living room and play cards for a while."

Xia Qingdai pulled Xu Yan out. When the little girl from her second cousin's family came here, she didn't even let her enter her room to see the castle, let alone Xu Yan.

"What cards are the three of them playing?" Xu Yan couldn't figure it out.

Yan Shixian had thought about it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Three people can play poker or Landlord, whatever. How do you think?"

He asked the last sentence while looking at Xia Qingdai. It was obvious that Xu Yan's opinion was not important to him.

Xia Qingdai said indifferently: "I'm fine with it, you decide."

After saying this, he felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawning with his hands covering his mouth.

Yan Shixian asked with concern: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night? You seem to be yawning all the time today."

"Yeah." Xia Qingdai nodded. "The relatives are leaving today, so we talked a little late last night."

Yan Shixian put away the cards he had spread out, stood up and said, "Then you should take a rest and catch up on some sleep. We can get together again another day."

Although he really wanted to be with Xia Qingdai, he couldn't bear to see her yawning all the time.

Since Yan Shixian said so, Xu Yan agreed. The two of them said goodbye together and agreed to come back when she was free.

Yan Shixian thought that since they were neighbors now, it would be very convenient to visit as long as he wanted to, he could just come over with a thick face.

Xia Qingdai leaned against the door, and as soon as she saw the elevator close, she immediately turned her head, yawned, closed the door, went into the room and went to bed in one go. She didn't even have the energy to enter the castle and absorb the scattered power of faith while sleeping. She fell asleep and met Zhou Gong in a second.

At this moment, a crab feast is being held in the castle.

The blue crab legs that Xia Qingdai fed were heated up and placed on a huge plate that took up most of the dining table, serving as the main course for tonight.

There was also a circle of small bowls and plates filled with various side dishes on the side, the most popular of which was the food that Xia Qingdai took down - cucumber.

In modern times, this thing can be found on any ordinary table in winter through high-speed logistics, and the price is not expensive. But in the winter in Britain, it is really a luxury. There is also a plot about cucumbers in "Pride and Prejudice", which is used to highlight the selfishness of Elizabeth's two sisters. The two of them ate the expensive cucumbers in the store first, but only ordered ordinary side dishes for their sisters.

Nowadays, the situation is different in Fucui Villa. A small mini cucumber can be eaten by everyone in the villa, including the horses in the stables and the sheep in the sheepfold.

After the wonderful Cancer dinner, everyone gathered in the living room, some played the piano, some read, and some danced.

As for Xia Qingdai's absence from the dinner, everyone only casually asked about it before the meal started. When they heard Miss Bai and Owen say that she was still in the attic copying Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, no one had any doubts.

Xia Qingdai was often elusive and didn't often hang out with them, so everyone was used to it.

Only old Mrs. Owen talked a lot about Xia Qingdai. The weather had been warm and cold these past two days, and her shoulders felt a little uncomfortable. She missed Xia Qingdai's massage very much.

Xia Qingdai used old Mrs. Owen as an intern tool, and the latter was happy with it, and everyone got what they needed.

But Xia Qingdai didn't come downstairs until the end of the dinner, so Mrs. Owen had to go back to her room to sleep. She was old and couldn't stay up late like the young people.

Owen sat on the sofa reading a book. He looked at the time on his pocket watch several times, but Xia Qingdai didn't come down.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and everyone left the living room one after another and went back to their rooms to sleep. Owen put down the book and decided to go to the attic to take a look.

Pushing open the door of the attic studio, Owen found it empty. He was not surprised at all, because he had long guessed that the goddess might have left this time and space.

Just looking at the empty studio, he couldn't help feeling a little lost.

After a pause, Owen walked forward quietly to look at the sketch that Xia Qingdai had copied today on the drawing board.

Compared with Leonardo da Vinci's original painting, it is of course far from the original, but Owen still looked at it intently, and while looking at it, he was still imagining how seriously Xia Qingdai looked when she drew these sketches.

At this moment, Owen felt the void around him twist. He turned around and saw Xia Qingdai, who had had a good sleep, appear in the attic studio in high spirits.

Xia Qingdai only needed three hours to recover to full health. After waking up, she didn't even bother to eat. She just washed up in the bathroom and went back to the castle.

Seeing Owen standing in front of her sketch, Xia Qingdai felt a little embarrassed. After all this time of practice, her sketch was okay when taken out alone, but the problem was that there was Leonardo da Vinci's original manuscript in front of it, which made the contrast a bit tragic.

However, Owen obviously didn't care about these. When he saw Xia Qingdai appear, he smiled and bowed silently.

"Owen, why are you still awake? It's almost midnight."

"I remembered that you had not had your supper yet, so I came up to see you."

Speaking of eating, Xia Qingdai was indeed a little hungry.

She walked to the attic window, looked out at the dark night sky, and said, "The cooks are probably asleep now, right?"

"Yes, but your favorite stewed chicken feet with potatoes is still being stewed in the copper pot on the fireplace in the living room on the second floor. In addition, there are fresh beef and lamb skewers, as well as crab meat cakes made by the cook Lily using the most tender crab meat."

After hearing what Owen said, Xia Qingdai's stomach was about to growl, and she immediately said, "Then let's take it upstairs as a midnight snack! Let's go to the observatory next door and stop fumigating the paintings here."

"it is good."
