I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 5 Lettuce! Lettuce as big as a human

This movement not only shocked the people in the castle, but also the people living in the surrounding small houses. They all looked around.

But because the shock of the previous witch flying incident has not yet passed, they did not dare to run over easily again.

The owner of the castle, Owen, also put down his book and walked out at a leisurely pace, looking at the strange things with his stunned servants.

"What is this?"

"Falled from the sky!"

"It looks like lettuce."

"Ah! How could it be Lettuce? It's as big as Mudleg's little house next door!"

Such a small lettuce, which is 20 to 30 centimeters long, is ordinary to Xia Qingdai, but to little people, it is a Big Mac.

After all, the tallest man here named Owen is only the size of Xia Qingdai's finger, and is completely incomparable to the lettuce she put in.

The servants circled around the lettuce, and the brave ones got close enough to touch and smell it, and then excitedly announced that this was lettuce!
  Oh my God! In the cold winter, you can actually see such fresh and tender lettuce! Or did it fall from the sky? Did it fall from the vegetable garden in heaven?

Everyone knelt down and prayed excitedly, thanking God for His gift.

In this season of frequent snowstorms and vegetable shortages, this lettuce can last them a long time.

Owen looked up at the face in the clouds, as if waiting for God's instructions.

Xia Qingdai thought for a moment and said to him: "This lettuce is given to you."

"Thank God for the gift." Owen's face showed emotion and he bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

Then he announced in public: "This is a gift given to me by my patron saint. Now go get the saw, divide it into several sections and put it in the cellar. Then give a little to each of my tenants so that they can enjoy it too." Divine light.”

"Okay! Dear Mr. Owen!"

"Oh! Mr. Owen is so kind! Those peasants don't deserve such a magical thing!"

"Stop talking nonsense, we will do whatever the master tells us."

The servants quickly united their minds and acted quickly.

The maids were very happy. Just now, everyone was worrying about the evening meal, but now such a big piece of lettuce fell from the sky.

What a miracle! This is a true miracle from heaven!
  The new owner is really lucky, he actually has his own patron saint!

After the servants had divided the lettuce in full swing and dragged it back to the cellar, several more footmen carried vegetable baskets and went to present the cut lettuce pieces to the tenants living near Fukuoka Villa, and put the meat of the new Mr. Owen into it. De informed everyone.

The land in Fucui Villa is now mainly rented to tenants in the village. More than half of the owner's income comes from the land, and he can earn about 2,000 pounds a year from this.

The villagers who were peeping at the activities here from a distance on the edge of the castle heard something about patron saints and lettuce being said inside. They also vaguely heard the owner of the villa saying that he wanted to send them something.

Not long after, they saw the manservant in the villa carrying lettuce pieces that were said to be given by God and gave them to them. They all immediately expressed their gratitude to the new heir of the castle.

This young Mr. Owen is much more generous than the previous old Mr. Owen! Everyone can survive this winter!
  Due to the heavy snowstorm this year, the yield of the crops they planted was extremely low. Many of them froze to death. What they harvested was not enough to pay the rent.

Several families even ran out of food and relied on snow to survive.

Now that the lettuce is delivered, it is really a timely help.

The lettuce that Xia Qingdai gave to Owen on a whim turned into a treasure that won his heart!

This little man is really good at seizing opportunities.

Xia Qingdai touched her chin, feeling quite interesting. After taking care of the lettuce, calm gradually returned to the front of the castle.

I don’t know how long it took, but another carriage suddenly appeared in front of the yard.

An old man with white hair in a black coat got out of the carriage. Paul, who was guarding the entrance of the castle, was the first to notice the visitor.

He immediately shouted: "Mr. Owen, Mr. Scott is here to visit you!"

As he spoke, he ran to the door and opened it.

When Owen heard the sound, he put down the book at hand, stood up and straightened his clothes, and then walked to the door with a relaxed pace to greet the first neighbor who visited him.

After the two gentlemen greeted each other politely, Owen led the visitor into the study and spent about ten minutes chatting with the visiting old gentleman.

Xia Qingdai did not listen to their conversation, but focused on the living room, wondering if the little girl would get better after taking antipyretics.

After that, several little people emerged from the castle one after another. They were cleaning the gravel road in front of the castle with brooms and shovels.

Xia Qingdai watched them working with relish. Among them were old men in their forties or fifties, as well as freckled teenagers like Paul, who were only in their teens.

The maids didn't come out to clear the snow, they were all busy inside the castle.

There are probably more than ten or twenty villains living in this old castle.

In the few small houses surrounding the castle, several little people also appeared, plowing snow, repairing roofs, and from time to time there were people pointing in the direction of the castle and saying something.

Xia Qingdai listened to a sentence or two, which seemed to be talking about witches, patron saints, new masters, etc.

Looking at the pure white snow that had been swept up in the courtyard of the castle, Xia Qingdai couldn't help it. She reached in again and picked up a pile of snow with her fingers. It was ice cold and felt like it started to melt as soon as she pinched it.

But when she wanted to take out the snow to play with, the scene where her arm was suppressed happened again. She couldn't take out the snow from the castle!

It's strange. You can only put it in but not take it out. What's the point?

Xia Qingdai's impulsive actions frightened the villain below, and they ran away to the various roofs of the castle with a shovel in their hands.

"Oh, God!"

"my God!"

"Snow is flying to the sky!"

Only Owen stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at the giant hand retracting from the clouds, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, he suddenly smiled softly and said, "God is a girl."

After Xia Qingdai frightened the little people, she just watched and stopped doing anything.

After all, except for Owen, she can't communicate with other villains, and they can't see her. It's not fun to scare the villains to death.

Just now, several villains were frightened and fainted by her pinching snow. It was really a sin.

Xia Qingdai watched unconsciously until she saw that the light outside the castle dimmed and candles lit up inside.

At this moment, the little girl woke up.

Owen, who had received five neighbors all afternoon, had just sat down. Seeing that she was awake, he stepped forward and touched her forehead, and found that her fever had subsided and was not so hot now.
