Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

The pressure on Jane Eyre is greatly reduced for Thornfield without the owner.Although Mr. Rochester is a generous employer, he rarely comes to the small classroom to inquire about the teaching situation, but his presence always makes people feel like being watched by the head teacher at the back door in class.

Jane Eyre is either attending class or writing articles these days. In Mrs. Fairfax's eyes, she is living a boring and self-sufficient life like a nun, but this is quite interesting to her.Although she also loves to travel, she is by no means restless.She is just sitting at the desk, but her mind has traveled all over the world following the characters in her pen.

After experiencing the sugar-coated cannonballs of candied haws, Adele began to be picky about snacks. However, this season, there are almost no hawthorns.Sugar is even a luxury for ordinary farmers. Although Mr. Rochester owns a vast estate and earns a lot of income, in Thornfield Manor, under the strict supervision of Mrs. Fairfax, it can be used to make snacks The amount of dessert is really not much.

Adela is a smart little girl, she knows that there is no way to make Jane love softly, the best way is to sit on Jane Eyre's lap, look at her pitifully with those watery blue eyes, Acting softly and coquettishly, nine out of ten Jane Eyre has no way to refuse her any request except that she doesn't want to study.Right now, Jane Eyre has encountered this little headache.In addition to bread, the staple food in the UK today is potatoes, and most of the meat is grilled. Because of the lack of seasonings and spices to remove fishy smell, the taste is not very good after all.After seeing candied haws, little Adele knew that Jane Eyre had many good ideas, and now she insisted on coming up with some new ones.

Jane Eyre thought of a simple and delicious dessert like "pudding".There are already puddings in this era, but the concept is completely different from that of 200 years later.The earliest pudding was actually a kind of sausage. The black pudding and white pudding in the Middle Ages were actually sausages with blood and without blood.Later, rice pudding and vegetable meat loaf pudding were derived. In the [-]th century, pudding was divided into sweet and salty, just like rice dumplings and tofu nao.The sweet ones include bread pudding, plum pudding, and the salty ones include liver patch and meat pudding... and meat pudding is simply a crazy dark dish for Jane Eyre!Just like sweet tofu nao!

When she first heard Mrs. Fairfax talk about pudding for dinner, Jane Eyre was looking forward to it. When she saw the "unexplained" liver product in front of her, she lost her appetite for dinner.

Jane Eyre plans to make creme brulee. She loved baking for a while in her previous life, but she has studied it.It’s just that after I came to this world, I once saw the cook in the kitchen laboriously whipping cream by hand, so I gave up the idea of ​​baking.Although the creme brulee has the word cream in its name, it does not need to be whipped. The production method is more like a complicated version of steamed eggs.Speaking of steamed eggs, Jane Eyre's saliva almost flowed down.

So the dessert of the night was creme brulee with a poke and a pop.Steamed eggs also replace the soup.

"Miss Jane, I wish I could eat this pudding every day!" Adele dug a big mouthful with a small wooden spoon and stuffed it into her mouth.She has already started eating the second one.Jane Eyre made a small portion of pudding and put it upside down on the plate, which looked extremely delicate.

"Adela, you are already eating the second serving. If you do this every day, I won't do it again." Jane Eyre put down the spoon in her hand, "Any excessive enjoyment of happiness will soon dissipate. "

Adele hummed: "No! Miss Jane. I will never get tired of such delicious food."

Jane Eyre smiled and said nothing.When she was a child, she especially liked the omelette made by her mother, and she always said that she would never get tired of eating it. However, in fact, after eating it for more than a dozen mornings, she never touched it again in the next ten years.

This kind of words is too difficult for a seven or eight-year-old girl to understand, and Jane Eyre does not intend to argue, and time will tell her the answer.

Jane Eyre went to the small kitchen to study new desserts and dishes with the cook Ellie every one or two days.Although Jane Eyre can do a lot, but now, as an orphan girl who entered Lowood after ten years old and started a life like a nun, she obviously shouldn't have these experiences.So she could only pretend to be a novice and put forward some "whimsical" suggestions. Ellie tried it once half-believed, and was completely conquered by the soft, fluffy and sweet steamed cake.And Jane Eyre really couldn't stand the extensive British rural dishes, so she figured out how to make red meat delicious according to the way of using spices in her previous life, and rewarded her five internal organs temple.Since then, Miss Jane Eyre has become Ellie's teacher and student, and the two can even call each other by their Christian names.

Mr. Rochester has not been back since he went out.In the first few days, Jane Eyre also heard the servants still discussing when Mr. Rochester would come back, and the work he had arranged before needed to be reported.And later, they were certain that Mr. Rochester would not return until several months later, as usual.In fact, he had been home long enough this time.

Since there is no one to disturb, this quiet and comfortable living condition gave Jane Eyre a lot of time to think. She sometimes wrote two strokes while Adele was scratching her head and doing arithmetic, and sometimes accompanied by wheat fragrance and cream on the slate table next to the oven. Xiang conceived the plot, sometimes the weather was good, and when there was no strong wind, he sat in the "secret territory" he had visited before and wrote hard.When a thin layer of ice began to form on the surface of the small pond, her first draft was finally completed.

On this day, Jane Eyre walked through the bare lawn and thorn forest with a notebook and a pen, and when she was about to go back to her room through the kitchen through the side door, she met Mrs. Fairfax with a letter in her hand.

"Oh! my dear, I was going to see you." Mrs. Fairfax came up to meet her. "I've just had a letter from my master. He'll be back in three days. Thornfield is in great company. Mr. Rochester says there's going to be a ball, and there's going to be a lot of gentlemen and ladies coming to live. Oh! He always Temporary assignments like this. We're going to be busy."

"So can I help?"

"Of course, my Jane! Just let the nanny watch over Adele and give her a few days off. I can't do without you. Thornfield has never had a master, and only a few servants are left to keep tidy. This Excuse me, many gentlemen and ladies are coming, all the guest rooms have to be opened, and we have to recruit a few more temporary servants!"

"I sent John to find a few women who wanted to work, and I'll see them later. These newbies are always clumsy, and I have to keep an eye out for them. Honey, I know you have a unique opinion about eating , can you help me? Ellie is familiar with the banquet and catering process, so you can give her some ideas and arrange some new dishes."

"Ma'am, that's perfectly fine. I'm so glad I could help you. It's just that I've never had a job like this..."

"Don't worry, I believe in your ability! As for the ingredients, just tell Ellie to buy them, don't worry about the budget, Mr. Rochester has already told me."

Jane Eyre could only nod her head.Mrs. Fairfax led her into the kitchen, and asked Ellie to draw up the menus for several formal dinners as soon as possible, while Jane Eyre was responsible for the drinks and desserts needed for banquets and dances.The required ingredients have to be purchased and stored in large quantities from the homes of farmers and tenants.After making arrangements, Mrs. Fairfax left in a hurry.

"Ellie, has Thornfield held many banquets before?"

"Yes, although Mr. Rochester has a weird personality, he is very prestigious among gentlemen and is also very popular with ladies. Although Thornfield is not very crowded now, and only Mr. Rochester is left alone, Thornfield used to be quite The famous old family." Jane Eyre found that Thornfield's servants really respected and admired their master.

"I don't know if I have a chance to see the grand scene of the ball?"

"Mr. Rochester will definitely let you attend the banquet, Jane." Ellie took out a large bowl and quickly started to beat the egg whites. "Sir thinks highly of you."

"Oh? How do you say it? I thought I was just an ordinary tutor."

"Before Mr. Rochester left, he specifically asked me to let you use the kitchen if you want to borrow it. Otherwise, how could Mrs. Fairfax let us use ingredients and seasonings at will? She is a good housekeeper. She worked here decades ago, and she manages the whole Thornfield in an orderly manner."

Jane Eyre remembered that she had indeed asked Mrs. Fairfax to deliver a pack of "candied haws" to Mr. Rochester.Mrs. Fairfax is really a wise lady. Without her point, Jane Eyre would never have thought of her employer.Not to mention occupying the small kitchen after that, thinking about new dishes to satisfy my appetite.

During these three days, Mrs. Fairfax led the temporary maids, and opened the doors and windows of all the guest rooms.The curtains in the guest room were all taken down and washed, the carpets were brushed clean, the bedding was replaced with new quilt covers, and Mrs. Grace Poole put up a new pattern of bed curtains.The blind corners in the corridor were cleaned by the servant lying on the floor, and the candlesticks with intricate patterns on the wall were also polished to a shine. There was not a trace of dust in each engraving.

Adele had a holiday and was absolutely ecstatic.Fairfax is too diabolical. She can either watch in the room or read in the classroom. The manor is too messy.

Jane Eyre only went to say good night to Adela after nine o'clock every night. Adela buried her big eyes in bed and asked her about Mr. Rochester and the banquet. Jane Eyre could only say that she also No, she had never been to a banquet, nor knew Mr. Rochester in the social arena.Adele was very surprised. She thought Miss Jane knew everything!

Yes, Adele has become Jane Eyre's little tail!She has never seen such a gentle and intelligent woman as Jane Eyre.When she was by her mother's side, her temper was often hysterical; the ladies always made fun of her, and she was complacent about her singing talent.After her mother passed away, those people ignored her again until she was handed over to Mr. Rochester. He found Sophie, a nanny for her, but Sophie only took care of her as a child and never talked to her. She makes sense.

Adele didn't know what other governesses were like, but she never expected them to talk to her calmly and on an equal footing.When she was playful and did something wrong, she never punished her physically, but analyzed the pros and cons with her in a firm, gentle and serious tone.

Adele felt that she was extremely safe and warm now.

The author has something to say:

Up to now, this article has written nine chapters, and it is still quite difficult.

Today I re-opened Jane Eyre and saw a sentence to share with you:

"To be loved by people of the same kind and to feel that your presence has added happiness to others is the most beautiful and happiest thing in the world."

The data in this article is really poor. The comprehensive masterpiece is not the element of the Jinjiang fire, and I am also a novice author, so the writing skills are really not enough.But I wrote this article very carefully. With the same number of words, it took more than three times as long as another article updated at the same time.Often after writing a few hundred words, I look back and feel that it is all nonsense. I don’t know why, and then delete and rewrite it all.

Although clicking and bookmarking is very heartbreaking, but seeing readers interacting with me in the comment area, I feel that sitting in front of the computer for a few hours every day is worth it.

I hope I can bring this happiness to you!

In addition, I would like to share a good news with you. I applied for a signature when I published three chapters of this article, and it has been passed. I never thought that I could become a signed author.It’s been ten years since I’ve read articles. Although it’s easy to see shortcomings and deficiencies in other people’s articles, it’s not the same thing when I write my own. Thank you for discussing with me~ Every time I see a message, I will have some new thoughts , My thin idea is slowly enriched.The day is even more certain. Considering that the JJ review is a bit slow, I still set the update time at [-]:[-] noon every day to ensure that everyone can see it at night.
