[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

"Take a break, Owen. It's easy to get tired if you lie down here and write, so you need to take a break. Aunt, can I let Owen and Darlene play in the yard for a while? Darlene helped me peel the beans just now, right, Darlene?" Lin."

"Yes Mommy, I peeled a lot." Darlene said happily to Mrs. Gardner.

"You are very capable, dear." Mrs. Gardner was very happy to see that her daughter was energetic. She didn't have much energy to take care of the two older children recently, and she felt very guilty, "Mrs. Pete, take them to the yard Play for a while, and remember to take them to wash their hands before eating."

"...Okay, ma'am." Mrs. Pete squatted down and took the cheering siblings to play.

It is said to read the list, but it is actually an "interview" with Mrs. Gardner.She came prepared, she had already passed her uncle's "interview" before, and she was even more fully prepared for her aunt's "interview".

Jane planned to make a summary of the day's affairs in the afternoon of the previous day, including what was used in the kitchen today, what was left, what to cook tomorrow, what might need to be bought... and so on.Mrs. Gardner would then leave the shopping to the cook or the maid, Jane didn't care.

Regarding the study of Owen and Darlene, Jane is not very familiar with their progress, so we have to look at the situation first, but Jane explained to Mrs. Gardner the study subjects of her sisters, from the other party's expression Look, she's still willing to let Jane take care of it.

Bernard was always in charge of the nanny, and Jane asked in great detail, including when he would breastfeed, when he would stink, the doctor's diagnosis, etc. Mrs. Gardner was not clear about many questions.But Jane also said something about the nanny's hygiene, especially the hands and face, and the bowls and spoons that Bernard used had to be sanitized.

Jian didn't know much about the daily schedule of the Gardner family, but the family must be based on Mr. Gardner's schedule. She asked her aunt about the uncle's schedule, and she basically knew it.As for other daily tasks, such as cleaning, kitchen scrubbing, changing clothes, etc., Jane also asked briefly, so as not to be confused about the situation.

"If you don't have enough milk, you have to cook soup every day, chicken soup, fish soup, and pig's trotters soup. Mommy asked me to bring a whole bag of refined flour to nourish your body. I will make pasta for you every day. Listen It’s good for the stomach. And Mommy said that if you want to breastfeed, you can’t eat too much salt. Bernard doesn’t seem to like milk. You can try goat’s milk tomorrow. In fact, that’s better..." Jane nagging, adding Mrs. Dana was amused for a moment when a little girl said something about not having enough milk.

What Jane said was very detailed, and Mrs. Gardner listened and thought about it, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and there were even some things that she had never thought about. For a while, Mrs. Gardner thought that the elder sister-in-law was really very experienced. .Moreover, Mrs. Gardner still believes some of Jane's statements through Mrs. Bennet's mouth. Don't you see that all five children in the Bennet family are lively and lovely?

After speaking, Jane quietly waited for Mrs. Gardner's opinion.Mrs. Gardner thought for a while and asked, "Will this be too tight? Jane, you are not here to work..."

"Don't worry about Auntie, it's just that everyone is not familiar with it at the beginning. I will teach Bobby to make soup later. After she learns it, I just need to tell her what to do every day." You can go to the streets with Hurley, but you and Bernard are more important now, you should take care of your health first, okay?"

What else could Mrs. Gardiner say?I really envy Mrs. Bennet.

"May I ask you something, Auntie?" Jane said hesitantly.

"Of course, what's the matter?" Mrs. Gardner asked with a smile.

Jane organized her words and asked, "That, Mrs. Pete, was it introduced by an important client of my uncle?"

"She came here by herself, but her letter of introduction was indeed written by one of your uncle's clients... Does she have any problems?" Mrs. Gardner didn't think Jane was a person who liked to sue, so she was very curious about Jane will say anything.

"I don't think she looks like a nanny." Contrary to Mrs. Gardner's expectation, Jane really complained, "I didn't know her before, so I didn't target her. Although she was very rude to me, I was just discussing the matter. "Jane emphasized, "When Lydia was very young, just like Bernard, every time I wanted to hold her, my mother always said that I had to wash my hands and face before holding her, because too dirty would make the baby sick, and she bathes Lydia when the weather is nice."

Mrs. Gardner nodded. She knew that too. Who would like a dirty, smelly baby if it was clean?

"Although I only met for a short while, I found that Mrs. Pete's hands, face and apron were not very clean, and her fingernails were black." Jane thought for a while, stood up and put the nanny aside. Showed Mrs. Gardiner the little bowl that had fed Bernard. "She hadn't even thought of taking the bowl to wash."

Mrs. Gardner was sitting in a bright place, and she could see the milk stains at the bottom of the bowl, which were beginning to smell rancid, and her face turned livid.

No wonder the nanny always said that Bernard didn't like milk, no wonder Bernard always had diarrhea!

"I'm sorry, auntie, I shouldn't have said that." Seeing that Mrs. Gardner's expression changed with anger, Jane stepped forward to give her a break.

"No, it's not your fault, Jane, and I want to thank you." Mrs. Gardner exhaled, "What else do you see?"

"Others... I don't know. After all, I don't know her very well. I just think that Mrs. Pete doesn't like children. Why do you want to be a nanny?" Jane looked puzzled.

"Exactly." Mrs. Gardiner replied absently.

"I'll see if the soup is ready, and wash this up by the way." Jane stood up and went to the kitchen with a small bowl.

They had reconciled a long time ago, Bobby and Hurley didn't know what they were gossiping about, their faces were treacherous, and when they saw Jane coming in, they immediately stopped talking.

Jane pretended not to see, Jane put down the bowl, and asked Hurley to bring in the washbasin by the way.

"Bobby, will it be troublesome if I want to boil water for a shower in the afternoon?" Jane washed her hands again, rolled up her sleeves, picked the thickest rolling pin, sprinkled some flour on the cutting board, and started making noodles.

"No trouble." Bobby replied casually. She was watching Jane making noodles. She always thought that the noodles should be made one by one. Miss Jane is making a big dough?Has she stopped making noodles?

"Can you boil water for me after dinner?"

"Well, of course."

Hurley came in hurriedly, "I'm going out for a while, Mrs. Gardner asked me to buy goat's milk."

"Goat's milk? It's so fishy, ​​how do you drink it?" Bobby rolled his eyes.

"If there is a flower seller, you can buy a little jasmine or rose, and boil it in goat's milk to get rid of the smell, but I think my aunt wants to drink it for Bernard. He doesn't seem to like milk." Jane said, "Noon One duck might not be enough, Poppy, peel some potatoes and we'll fry hash browns." Quick this one.

Bobby used to bake potatoes for mashed potatoes without peeling them. She thought it was a waste, but she was also curious about how to make Jane's potato cakes, so she muttered a few words and went to peel them.

Peel and make mashed potatoes. Bobby knows how to do these. Jane instructed her to add salt, flour, fennel powder, and an egg to the mashed potatoes to form a large pot of mashed potatoes. Then use a pan to heat up and brush some oil. Put half a spoonful of the paste in the pot, and turn it over when it is cooked.

Soon the fragrance wafted out.

It smells good, thought Poppy. It's not difficult to do. She got the hang of it after two tries, from slow to fast.

"You can add cheese or yogurt, or butter when you eat it, and you can eat it wrapped in vegetables. It's very convenient. If you like something sweet, you can add sugar." Jane had already cut the noodles, so she came over to watch Bobby cook By the way, she picked up a piece and tore it into small pieces and stuffed it into Bobby's mouth, "Taste it."

Bobby's words were blocked by the cake.

To be honest, this taste is really good, and the method is also simple, once you learn it, you can have many tricks. The important thing is that Miss Jian taught it to her, which shows that this kind of snack is nothing in her heart.You know, a chef with good craftsmanship is easy to find a job at any time.

"It's not bad, isn't it?" Jane is very satisfied. In fact, she doesn't like to eat the kind of staple bread that doesn't add anything. Only jam can cover it.

"Maybe we can cook a little more, and we can eat it at night." Bobby's tone was full of flattery that she didn't realize.

Jane nodded, "Actually, it doesn't taste so good when it's cold, but if it's too mushy, there's still time to make it now."

It's up to you, Bobby doesn't care.

"Jane, Jane." Darlene and Owen rushed into the kitchen, sweating profusely from playing, followed by Mrs. Pete, the nanny with an unchanging expression.

"You two, don't run away." Mrs. Pitt drove the siblings to the washbasin like chickens, then quickly washed their faces and hands, and then dried them.

"Mrs. Smith, is Mr. Bernard's milk ready?" Mrs. Pitt asked proudly.

"You didn't say you want hot milk." Bobby was also very upset, what does this tone mean, do you call yourself a housekeeper?

"It's about time, too," interposed Jane. "Is uncle back?"

"Daddy's back." Darlene answered first.

"Then you can eat, Bobby, cut the bread and take it out first, where is the milk?"

Bobby pointed to the cabinet, and Jane took out a cloth-covered bowl from the cabinet, and there was a large bowl of milk in it. She scooped up half of the pot with a long-handled pot, put it on the fire, and it boiled after a few effort So I poured it into a small bowl and let it cool.

Bobby hurriedly went to prepare the table. Jane opened the lid of the chicken soup pot to avoid the sudden steam. Just now, when Bobby was making potato pancakes, she had scooped up the oil once. Very satisfied, but there is no way, the time is too tight.

I poked the chicken with a fork and it was stewed, but not particularly bad, so that's it.

Jane brought down the chicken soup and turned off the stove.She filled a bowl of chicken soup, washed the pan where Bobby made potato cakes just now, and put some water in it. The water boiled quickly, and she grabbed half of the noodles and put it down to cook.After it is cooked, put it on a plate, pour a few spoonfuls of chicken oil soup on it, and then take a few pieces of chicken and put it on the side of the plate.
