[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Jane returned to the chopping board to cut something now, she moved neatly, only heard the knife making a quick "aggressive" sound on the chopping board, after a while, the black and white dough slices were piled up into hills.

Anna also started her own training, playing with a small dough on another chopping board to practice making braided buns.The dough should be rolled into a long strip, with a head on the top, cut into three or four even strips below, and then weave the noodles like braiding.

It looks simple, but it is actually quite difficult. First of all, when rolling out a long strip, it must be uniform in thickness. It cannot be thick or thin. When cutting, it must also have the same width. , If the force is too large, the noodles will be stretched, and if the force is small, there will be a hole in the middle of the braid.

Anna has been practicing for a while, and the dough in her hand is no longer white, but grayish in color, but it doesn't affect it.Anna will show Jane a satisfactory finished product, and Jane will tell her "it's okay" if she is satisfied. If Jane is not satisfied, she will tell Anna that there is a problem.No matter what Jane said, Anna would knead the dough again and continue to practice according to the direction Jane said.

Ben comes down the stairs, holding a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Bennet, this is for you. I saw you passing by inside just now. I think you probably came directly to the kitchen." Ben put the coffee by Mr. Bennet's hand.

"Thank you." Mr. Bennet picked up the coffee and took a sip. He couldn't tell the beans, but he could tell how well the coffee was brewed. "Well, Ben, your coffee is pretty good."

"Really! Thank you, Mr. Bennet." Ben rubbed his hands, then suddenly remembered something and said to Jane, "Miss Bennet, let me get some cookies."

"Anna, help me get some up." Jane said without looking back as she cut a small piece of dough.

"Is there no one there?" asked Mr. Bennet.

"There's nobody here right now, but I'll be up right away so it's okay," Ben said.

"Then hurry up." Mr. Bennet waved his hand.

Ben and Anna went up to the counter with spare desserts on the shelf.After cutting the dough slices, Jane pulled down the empty baking tray from the shelf, placed the dough slices one by one on the tray, and put them aside, then took out an old pocket watch from her pocket to check the time, and when she saw that it was almost done, she put it on Thick gloves, and at the same time said to Mr. Bennet: "Daddy, be careful, I'm going to turn on the oven."

"Oh." Mr. Bennet didn't know what happened to the oven.

Jane turned off the fire, opened the oven door, and there was a burst of hot air from the oven.After the heat dissipated, Jane quickly pulled out the baking trays one by one and placed them on the rack.After pulling out the baking tray in the oven, Jane put the dough into the oven again, adjusted the temperature, checked the time, and closed the oven door again.

At this moment, Anna came back with the tray in her arms. Seeing the full shelves, she hurriedly rushed to Jane and gestured for a long time.Mr. Bennet didn't understand what Anna was doing, but Jane did. She said disapprovingly, "It's okay, it'll be fine if you come next time."

"I'll go to the store for a while." Mr. Bennet put down his cup and plate, clapped his hands and stood up. He couldn't help him sitting here, and felt very bored.

"Okay, Dad, do you want to have dinner together later?" Jane asked. There are a few restaurants on this street, and the prices are not expensive.

Mr. Bennet touched his stomach, but he was actually a little full, "Okay."

Mr. Bennet went around to the store, the rain had already lightened a lot, and there were two newsboys squatting on the ground at the door. They stuffed the newspaper under their stomachs and covered it with their clothes to avoid getting wet. Mr. Bennet took out a penny Bought a newspaper from a newsboy.

Pushing the door open, there were quite a lot of people inside, but there were still vacancies, so Mr. Bennet found a vacant seat and sat down. He shook the newspaper and unfolded it.Ben was changing money for a guest, and soon he came over with the menu. He was not surprised that Mr. Bennet appeared here, and he asked Mr. Bennet like other guests: "What do you want?"

"A cup of coffee and a cookie." Mr. Bennet said cooperatively.

Coffee and pastries were promptly served, and Mr. Bennet carefully observed the guests under the cover of a newspaper.Soon he found that although it was raining outside, there were still customers in the store, and the atmosphere was also very good. Ben's movements could not be fast, and everyone waited patiently with understanding.

After a while, Ben went to the kitchen again, and he brought up a basket, which contained black and white snacks, and everyone could smell the tangy aroma, burnt and fragrant.

Ben used a small clip to hold the small noodles and put them in a small plate, and gave each person two small slices according to the number of consumers.Mr. Bennet also got two slices. He took one and put it in his mouth. The freshly baked pastries were still hot, crispy, and had a slight aroma of cocoa. Older people might find the small slices a bit hard. Bite up "creak creak" sound.

The salty-sweet ratio of the small noodle slices is precise and delicate. Those who like sweet taste sweet, while those who like salty taste salty.

For a while, Hogwarts was full of "creaking" sounds.Mr. Bennet swallowed the snack in his mouth and stretched out his hand again, only to be embarrassed to find that both pieces had been eaten.

At this time, Ben took out a piece of cardboard that had been under the basket and put it upright on the basket. On the cardboard was written a big "discount", and below it was written in normal characters: "Everyone who spends in this store can buy at a discount, one penny each .”

The word discount is quite attractive, and soon a young man raised his hand to signal Ben, who took a small plate, inserted it into the basket, and just scooped out the plate, then shook his hand lightly, and put the plate on it. A layer of small dough flakes fell off, leaving a solid portion in the plate, and there is no need to weigh it.

Although it doesn’t look like much, it’s really a huge discount compared to two cookies and one plate!The young man was very clever and ordered two more packages to take away.When other people saw this, they also asked to pack it up, and it would be good for the family to taste it, it was really delicious.A basket of small dough pieces that didn't even have a name was sold out quickly, and there are still people who want to buy them later, so I spread my hands, the discount is over, please come early next time.

Guest: =-=

Mr. Bennet was very worried about whether Jane would lose money if he offered a discount for a while, and calculated with his fingers, Emmm... he didn't figure it out.

In the evening, Jane came back and told Mr. Bennet with a smile on her face that the turnover of Hogwarts was more than four pounds today. She took out a lot of coins and banknotes from her pocket.There were farsings, halfpence, and pence, and there were twopence, threepence, groats, shillings, and pounds, which startled Mr. Bennet.

"I've already gone to the bank to change the whole money." Jane said, otherwise the pile of coins would be several catties.

Don't look at four pounds as not much, but you know, these days, if a single girl earns sixty or seventy pounds a year, she can live well. According to Jane's momentum, she can earn more than 1000 pounds a year, which is more expensive than Banner's. Mr. Te wants more.

In the unbelievable expression of Mr. Bennet, Jane smiled and poured cold water on it, "Actually, after deducting the cost, there are not so many, and the opening of a new store always feels fresher." Jane said, Mr. Bennet immediately felt more normal, but what Jane didn't say was that even after deducting the cost, she didn't count the tip.

Especially the Harbison couple, they are both free employees, how much money can be saved this year~ Jane thinks it is a wise decision to fool these two people, although they will have to pay wages after they become skilled workers Yes, but!Not before!want!money!

Jane: Y ($_$) Y

With the experience of the first day, it became much smoother after that. Three days later, Mr. Bennet had already bought the train ticket back to Longbourn... He couldn't stay here all the time, and there were still many things to do in Longbourn.

After Mr. Bennet left, Jane felt a little melancholy, alas, she is also a person who lives alone in a foreign country~

Gradually, the old neighbors on Antlers Street all know Hogwarts, a coffee shop with mediocre coffee but delicious snacks, and they are used to going to Hogwarts to pack a snack when they are hungry.

Ben and Anna are also getting used to the various aspects of opening a store. They still get confused by mistakes, but they make fewer and fewer mistakes.

After a break-in period, Jane is getting more and more used to her work. Now she goes out at six o'clock every day. After going to the store to check yesterday's account, she and Ben and Anna make three bakes of dim sum. Ben has half an hour to prepare for the opening of the store. After that, Jane There will be a short break with Anna, and then Jane will start teaching Anna the basic techniques of baking.

There were very few people in the store at noon, and the three simply ate lunch with the sandwiches in the store. Jane would make another batch of snacks and then go home.Jane has already been able to roughly estimate the sales volume in the store. Anyway, it must be sold, and the store will be closed as soon as it is sold.

That's how Buddhism is.

What's more, Jane came home early and was able to cook her own dinner... Dwyer's cooking was amazing!difficult!eat!up!Jane believes that Mrs. Wood actually thinks so in her heart, which proves that all the dinners she cooks are basically swept away, and Mrs. Wood has obviously gained weight in the past month.

No matter how busy she was, Jane and Mr. Holmes still kept in touch. On the third day after Mr. Bennet left, Jane received a letter from Mr. Holmes. This was also the first letter she received after she arrived in Cambridge. letter.

Mr. Holmes, as always, congratulated the opening of the coffee shop without Jane's notification.

simple:-________-

Jane thought about it for a while. She only said that she would live in the house of a lady in Cambridge Town for a long time in the future, and she definitely didn't say anything about Hogwarts... The previous consultation should not be counted... right... Could it be that Mr. Holmes guessed because of this?It's not even a dessert shop, it's not a bakery, it's not a restaurant, it's a coffee shop to be precise.

When Jane replied, she asked directly.

Little Mr. Holmes replied quickly. Cambridge is much closer to London than Longbourn. His answer was simple and clear.

Mr. Holmes: Well, my brother happens to be studying there.

Jane: =-=

Wait, little Mr. Holmes' brother?Isn't that the one... Jane quickly turned to the next page of the letter, and sure enough, Mr. Holmes introduced his younger brother for the first time, Sherlock Holmes... only by name.

Jane: If you say a few more words, you will die. Is your brother a princess who will be snatched away by a dragon?
