Grasp the farming script in the famous book

The second day of the dance was a sunny day.

Mrs. Foden, Longborn's cook, took the cook and servants outside to clean the dozens of large porcelain jars that Roland had ordered from Meryton.

Mrs Foden was called in yesterday to help by the big kitchen in Netherfield.

For her, this is definitely the happiest day in her life.

In Netherfield, Mrs. Foden had no shortage of compliments.

According to the menu she instructed, the cooks and servants there prepared a feast full of delicacies.

Among them, the "sandwiches" served as snacks are extremely popular because of their variety and delicious fillings, and they are easy to use between dances. Satisfied the curious guests.

A steady stream of compliments and requests for recipes flooded Netherfield's kitchen.

"That's what the cook's wife at Longborn taught us."

That's the way Netherfield's steward always answers whenever anyone asks.This honesty, which pleased Mrs. Foden, drew the whole neighborhood to Longbourne.

During the process of cleaning the porcelain altar, from time to time, housekeepers or cooks from neighbors came to greet Mrs. Foden, hoping to get some "advanced" recipes from Mrs. Foden.

"Mrs. Foden, what are you doing again?"

"According to what the little lady said, I plan to process all the vegetables that Longborn has stockpiled for the winter and make a kind of pickled vegetable called 'pickles'."

"The little lady in the house?"

Nobody believed it--everybody had heard that the youngest lady at Longbourne was the most foolish and ignorant.

"Who said no?"

Mrs. Foden immediately pursed her lips, frowned and said, "If you dare to say something bad about our little lady, you won't be able to share any recipes in the future."

"Don't dare, really don't dare," the visitor was frightened, for fear that he would never be able to get the most popular local trendy recipes from Longbourn in the future, "absolutely dare not, I just sigh... the little lady in the house Really versatile!"

Mrs. Foden felt comfortable: "Of course!"

She tilted her head. "Betty, go get a 'sandwich' recipe."

Longborn's cookbook has already been copied and is waiting for everyone to pick it up.

"Then this 'kimchi'..." The visitor was quite greedy.

"I haven't even made it here, so you're thinking about it!"

Mrs. Foden has long been infected with the bad habit of "arrogance", and she blamed it unceremoniously, "It's really delicious when it's made, it's not too late to give you the recipe, right?"

The visitor thought so, and obediently followed Betty.

Mrs. Foden hurriedly took other helpers to clean together. After cleaning all the jars, she began to clean all kinds of vegetables produced in the garden: radishes, lettuce, cabbage, beans, peppers... and cut them into uniform sizes. block or segment.

These vegetables had just been picked, and Longborn had a good harvest.The cook originally thought that so many dishes would not be finished in a short while, and if they were not sent to another family, they might be ruined.

Unexpectedly, the little lady said that she had a way to preserve these vegetables well, and the taste became better, which was more suitable for serving with meals.

Mrs. Foden never doubted what Little Miss said.Mrs Foden did what she said.

If there is something unclear, Mrs. Foden can ask at any time - because the little lady herself is busy in the greenhouse next to the Longbourn mansion.

Roland didn't bother to think about last night's dance at all, she got up early in the morning to work:

Most of the flowers in the greenhouse have been sold to Netherfield, and Christmas will be in another month, and the demand for flowers will definitely be great, so she has to quickly cultivate another batch;

As for the kimchi, it was something she had been interested in before. When she arrived in Meryton, she ordered a kimchi jar at a porcelain store.As soon as the goods arrived, Roland mobilized everyone in the kitchen to make them together.

In this way, the high-quality vegetables of Longborn can be well preserved, so that they will not be wasted, and they can be taken out and eaten at Christmas.

In addition, she also realized that it might be because of her that the food in the whole of Longborn has improved recently, and the proportion of greasy and meaty food in the diet has begun to increase, so people also need some sour, delicious and appetizing side dishes to match.

Besides, she also uses kimchi in several kinds of sandwiches. The hot and sour vegetables are paired with roast beef or roast chicken legs, sandwiched in the sandwich, that taste...

Roland didn't think about it anymore, thinking about it was in vain.

She was so busy in the conservatory that she hadn't noticed that a gentleman had called on Mr. Bennet that morning.

Mr. Wickham had visited Mr. Bennett, and when he came out of the Longbourn mansion, he happened to see Roland busy in the greenhouse.

But he didn't greet Roland in a hurry, but walked around the greenhouse and took a closer look at the structure of the greenhouse.

He came to the door of the greenhouse, opened the thick curtain, cleared his throat, and greeted the busy girl: "Miss Lydia Bennett?"

Roland turned around, saw Wickham, stopped what he was doing reluctantly, wiped his hands with a towel, then lifted his long skirt slightly, and came to Wickham, pretending to be surprised: "Mr. Wickham , why are you here?"

Wickham flicked the brim of his hat and said softly, "I'm here to visit your father."

There was a gentle smile on his face, and it was clearly written in his eyes: I'm here to see you.

Roland: Huh...

She received a ruby ​​pendant from Wickham last night. She didn't say anything about it, and she didn't reveal it to her sisters. She just kept the pendant carefully, just to see what this guy had in mind for a little girl of her age. .

Just judging from her performance at the dance yesterday, she still hasn't figured out what this Wickham is.

He came to Netherfield with great fanfare, wooed Mr. Bingley's family, and reaped the favor of Meriton residents, but stepped on Mr. Darcy unceremoniously, damaging his reputation.

He invited Elizabeth to the last dance, but quietly gave Roland such a precious gift.

And her agent cat, Luna, has been secretly guiding Roland in the direction of Charlotte Lucas.

This made Roland start to guess: the Mr. Wickham in front of him is probably not a character in the original book, but a "player".

"Are you from the town of Meryton?" Roland asked casually.

"No. At the sincere invitation of Mr. Mengerding, I will temporarily live in Haye Manor. I plan to buy property in Meryton in the future."

Mr. Goulding of Haye Manor is another neighbor of the Bennett family in Longbourne - Roland was relieved to hear the news.

At least Mr. Bingley "stopped his horse" last night and did not really entertain Wickham to live in Netherfield, otherwise he would really offend Darcy to death.

It seems that the proverb I used to persuade Mr. Bingley last night has played a role.

"Then," Roland put on a standard smirk, "welcome to Meryton, Hertfordshire."

"I have just arrived in Hertfordshire, and I am not very familiar with the surrounding area. May I take the liberty to invite you to take a walk with me? Your father, Mr. Bennett, also mentioned just now, that you are particularly familiar with the forests and rivers in this area. familiar."

Wickham took off his top hat, bowed halfway, and greeted him warmly.

Roland thought for a while, and she thought it would be good to use this opportunity to find out about the other party's reality, so she nodded and agreed, and ran back to the Longbourn mansion under the pretext of changing a pair of shoes suitable for going out. ran out.

She was going out just in time to see Wickham pat the oak pillars of her conservatory and laugh--a mocking laugh.

Just this expression was enough for Roland to determine Wickham's identity.

People from the 22nd century naturally don't take this kind of greenhouse built with simple materials and methods seriously.

No matter how gentle and kind Wickham pretends to be, he treats everyone in this plane with a superior view—this is the real arrogance.

Roland remained calm and warmly invited Wickham.Wickham extended his arm to her, and Roland glanced at him, and took it unceremoniously. The two left the greenhouse in front of the mansion side by side.

"If I'm not wrong, you should be like me, a 'player' who pretends to be in the plane in order to win the favor of the audience."

Wickham leaned close to Roland's ear, lowered his voice and said softly.

"To each other!" Roland never showed weakness.

"Miss, don't...don't go out with strangers!"

Before Roland left Longborn, the tenant farmer Thomas Barry had already chased him up from behind.

Wickham chuckled, and whispered in Roland's ear, "I can't imagine that the characters in this plane are still so loyal to you? What kind of original character is this? A servant?"

Roland ignored him, turned around and explained to Thomas, "Uncle Barry, this is not a stranger, but Mr. Wickham. He just came to visit Dad."

"Mr. Wickham has just arrived in Meryton. I'll show him around here, so he's familiar with him."

Roland gave Thomas a wink, and Thomas immediately understood.After Roland and Wickham set off, he followed them at a distance.

"Well," said Wickham, letting Roland take his arm, as he walked, "at last I have a chance to talk to you alone, miss."

At this moment, his free hand suddenly stretched out in front of Roland, and as soon as he let go, a golden necklace immediately dropped in front of Roland.

Roland almost didn't laugh out loud.

She really wanted to ask the other party: Did you mix with those ancient bloody "dominant planes" before?

"Sorry, I only sent you a pendant yesterday, and I will make up for the necklace today."

Wickham's moving blue eyes continued to stare at Roland, as if he wanted to continue to establish a "affectionate" character.

Unexpectedly, Roland let go of Wickham's arm decisively. Instead of taking his necklace, he stood three feet away from him and reminded him, "Please check your pocket."

Startled, Wickham reached into his jacket pocket, and took out the ruby ​​pendant from inside.

It turned out that Roland had returned the pendant to Wickham without anyone noticing - she didn't owe Wickham anything now, and there was really no need to get so close to Wickham.

"Ha," Wickham put away the pendant and necklace, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Sure enough, the contestants from the famous planes don't like this very much. Little beauty, are you trying to be independent? Female characters, right?!"

Roland was really not interested in answering his question.

"I see that your battle is both a greenhouse and a garden. Are you from the farming plane?"

This time Roland nodded politely and replied: "Yes, it's the first time for the farmer to come to the famous plane."

"Then I'm better than you. I used to be from the 'Long Aotian Plane'. This is only my third famous plane."

Roland tried his best not to laugh - although she didn't guess it completely, it was not bad.This person is already on the third plane of famous novels, and he still has a hard-won habit. He wants to deceive the little girl with jewelry and gifts as soon as they meet.

But in fact, she is also the same, as soon as she enters the plane, she thinks about farming.

However, this "Long Aotian" Wickham does have some strength and can build a career in America.Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little "learning from the scriptures", and asked, "Mr. Wickham..."

Wickham also said at this time: "Miss Bennett!"

"I have a proposal—"
