I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 412 Meeting friends

Precisely because of its own strong strength, Fucui Villa is now preaching and teaching, oh no, it is "helping the poor", and it is all carried out openly.

From the perspective of human nature, ordinary people all over the world are the same. Just one egg can attract everyone. It only takes a few minutes for the lower-class people to change their beliefs.

The local parish police officers are Owen's subordinates, and the relationship between the priests and Fu Cui Villa is semi-dependent. Who can check and balance Fu Cui Villa?

The owner of Taole Manor next door?

After the last time they were beaten by the True God Boltun, they had long been keeping a low profile. Who dared to mess with Earl Owen of Fucui Villa who could fly?
This morning's action made Xia Qingdai feel for the first time the hardships of ordinary people in the 18th century. Even in Britain, which was undergoing the Industrial Revolution, the cold winter was still so difficult for ordinary people.

After visiting the last household, Xia Qingdai walked out of the low hut with her skirt lifted up. Her boots stepped on the tattered pedal in front of the hut door. She said to Owen emotionally, "Seeing these people makes me feel that our troubles are meaningless. Compared to them, we are really too happy."

"Indeed." Owen agreed, "With your generous help, Fucui Villa has such a good life."

Xia Qingdai smiled sweetly: "This is also our fate."

After a pause, she continued, "I see that these people's houses are very cold, and their fireplaces can't even burn firewood. I'll put some down later, and you can sell them at a low price. It can be regarded as a subsidy from Fucui Villa to the poor."

"Okay." Owen nodded and helped Xia Qingdai onto the SUV. He was thinking about how to prevent profit-seeking businessmen from smelling the scent and taking advantage of the situation.

Of course, there was no need to explain these things in detail to Xia Qingdai; he just did it quietly.

Xia Qingdai didn't think about it so much. She had never been involved in business before. Strictly speaking, she was not even a beautiful girl who had left the ivory tower. Naturally, she would not consider all these things.

With Owen, a "senior manager" helping her, she has no worries at all.

She only needed to give orders easily, and she could also easily get the supplies. As for the most difficult details, she left it entirely to Owen, who never let her down.

"Hey, let's go to the pastor's apartment. I haven't seen Jane for a long time. I want to take her to the villa to play together." Xia Qingdai pushed aside the car curtain and said while looking at the street that seemed sparsely populated because of the cold.

"Yes, I'll follow your instructions." The driver, Sheridan, immediately agreed, "I'll turn around and go there right away."

Before turning around, he honked the horn twice to alert the carriage leading the way.

In fact, where Xia Qingdai is, there is no need for bodyguards to lead the way. She can easily crush everything.

Besides her fighting ability, Owen himself is not a weakling either. He carries a pistol with him, and there is also a shotgun next to Sheridan's driver's seat.

With the firepower of the three of them, they can easily move around this small town. Why would they need anyone to protect them?

But the butler David, like Owen, came from the battlefield and had the same fear of firepower. He would rather his own military equipment overflow than take any risk.

Why should the master go out to fight the enemy in close combat when he can outnumber the enemy?

Considering Owen and Xia Qingdai's current worth in everyone's eyes, any risk is not worth it - even if they are very powerful, it is not worth fighting with the barefoot.

The carriage and the guards are empty anyway, so why not put them to work?
It was for this reason that Owen did not object to David's arrangement. It didn't matter if it was a big event. Their Fucui Villa was rich now, so they didn't care about this expense at all.

Whether it was the extra fodder that had to be fed to the horses after use, or the electricity that needed to be charged for the off-road vehicle, it was too easy for Owen to get them. All of them were fed and charged regularly by Xia Qingdai.

Two cars arrived at the pastor's apartment one after another, and people here heard the noise from a distance.

Pastor Austin had been standing at the door looking out. When he saw the luxurious carriage with unique tires from Fucui Villa appear, he knew that Owen and Xia Qingdai had arrived.

He didn't even have to wait to see the SUV to make this judgment.

So before the carriage and buggy got close, Reverend Austin turned around and shouted into the house, "Jane, come downstairs quickly, Countess Xia Qingdai is here!"

"Oh, okay, I'll be right down." Then, footsteps were heard on the wooden floor upstairs.

Jane, who was sitting in front of the fireplace in the living room reading a book, put down the book and walked downstairs quickly.

Miss and Mrs. Austin came downstairs with her.

Although everyone understood that Xia Qingdai must not have come here to look for them, as one of the family members, when a distinguished guest came, of course they had to come out to meet him and exchange a few words of greeting to show their courtesy and sincerity.

As soon as the SUV that Xia Qingdai was sitting in stopped, the servant of Pastor Austin's family had already picked up a small stool and ran towards the SUV.

As soon as the door of the SUV was opened, the small bench was placed next to the door for Xia Qingdai to step on.

Normally, without this step stool, Xia Qingdai would jump down directly from the SUV, and she was actually used to it. But since the other party was so attentive, she would certainly appreciate the kindness.

"Oh, thank you. It's been a hassle." Xia Qingdai was not a native British person who had class ingrained in her bones. After feeling the other party's attentive service, she would of course thank him politely and casually take out two coins from her bag to reward the other party.

Tipping is very popular in Europe. Xia Qingdai's behavior was not out of place at all, but rather made people grateful.

This kind of tip can only be received by waiters in coffee shops, pubs and other places outside. It is difficult for servants in the house to have this extra income.

But Xia Qingdai was exceptionally generous, and because of that, even the servants of the Austin family were very happy to serve her, without the need for any compulsory orders from their master.

"Two distinguished guests, welcome to my humble home." Reverend Austin stood at the door and saluted the two, then politely stepped aside to make room.

After returning the greeting, the two men entered the pastor's apartment one by one.

It was very cold outside in this weather, and it took some courage to chat in the garden. So everyone should go inside as soon as possible.

As soon as Xia Qingdai walked in, she saw Jane, whom she had not seen for a long time. She happily walked up to her and gave her an intimate kiss on the cheek.

"Oh, dear Jane, I miss you so much! I want to invite you to have afternoon tea and dinner with me at Fucui Villa. Would you do me the honor?"

"of course."
