[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Sherlock also has no resistance to egg yolk crisps. Based on his friendship with Jane... Jane didn't sell him one more, but when Sherlock left, Jane asked Ben to pack five for Sherlock and asked him to take them back. Give the professor couple a taste.

Jane: "Wouldn't you bring some small gifts back when you live in someone else's house? It's very rude."

Sherlock: "A free gift?"

Jane: "... threepence each, thank you for your patronage."

Sherlock: "Isn't there a free gift for every shilling?"

Jane: "You remember it really well, Ben, give it to him."

Ben: "Okay."

Ben handed Sherlock the egg roll as a gift, and Sherlock left satisfied.

Jane: Will Sherlock Holmes be this stingy in the future? =-=?No wonder he has been single all his life.

On the days when she met Sherlock, Jane would go home later than usual. She carried today's snacks and walked slowly along the street alone.Compared with London, the security of Cambridge Town is better, and unmarried girls walking alone on the street are not particularly rare. An unmarried girl walking alone on the street usually gives the impression that she needs to work (poor people).

In fact, I am, Jane thought, she is going to end the sale of meringue, because although it is popular, it is really not worthwhile to earn too little.How much you have earned will be known after the inventory tomorrow. Tomorrow is Jane's monthly inventory day, which can also be said to be a rest day.

Tomorrow Hogwarts will be closed for a day. Jane will be on vacation after finishing her inventory early. Ben can also take Anna for a walk. He has saved some money from tips, so he must have time to spend it.

"You're back, Miss Bennet. I have some letters from you today." When Dwyer saw Jane come back, she wiped her hands on her apron, took some letters from the cabinet and handed them to Jane.

"Thank you, Dwyer." Jane took it and flipped through it. There was a thick letter from Mr. Bennet, which should have been written by everyone in the family and sent in one envelope, as well as Mycroft. a letter from

Jane read the letters from her family first, and this was the first letter she received after Cambridge.

In the letter, Mr. Bennet told Jane that everything was fine at home, and that the children continued to study every day except helping with housework.In the past, Jane and Elizabeth worked together to help Mr. Bennet make the books. Now Elizabeth is taking on the job alone, and she is quite happy.Finally, Mr. Bennet said hello to Jane on behalf of Mrs. Bennet, and told her not to wrong herself, to study hard and make progress every day—Jane felt that this must not be the original words of Mommy.

It seems that life in the Bennet family is completely unaffected without Jane... It's a sad story indeed. =V=

Jane opened the next letter.

Elizabeth also wrote about family affairs in her letter, and she wrote in much more detail than Mr. Bennet.After Jane left, Elizabeth consciously picked up the burden of supporting the family (?), and she said with great emotion that now she finally understands how difficult it is for Jane to be at home.

Jane: =? =

Mary told in the letter that after Jane left, everyone relaxed in their studies. Catherine and Lydia were not obedient at all, and they disliked her nagging, and then reported her study progress barbar...

Jane: =-=

Catherine and Lydia co-wrote a letter. Their letter was so long that it almost wentssip about the latest people and things in the village like a diary. It was a chatterbox, no wonder the letter was so thick.

These two brats didn't fight for three days, and went to the house to uncover the roof tiles. It seems that there is less homework.

While watching, Jane muttered in her heart, but she didn't realize that the corners of her mouth were actually raised all the time.Hey, Jane has been collecting new things here since she came to Cambridge, and she is waiting for a letter from her family, so she can reply, but she didn't expect that there has been no letter from her family for so long, Jane, Jane is a little angry.

Hmph, I don't care, anyway, I only reply when I receive the letter, and Jane is also arrogant.

Jane read the family letter in one breath, it was getting dark, she was not in a hurry to reply to the letter, and had dinner first.

The next day, Jane and Ben took inventory of the warehouse together. There were some materials that needed to be replenished, some of which could not be purchased for the time being, and some that had not been purchased before, which could be considered now. Jane recorded these in the on the notebook.

There are also products such as eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables that have to be delivered fresh every day, and they have to settle the bill at the end of the month. Jane sorts out the bills, gives the money to Ben, and teaches him how to settle the bill with the other party.There were bad eggs in the eggs delivered three times this month. Jane asked Ben to warn the egg deliverers. If this happens again next time, they will have to change suppliers.

After explaining such matters, Jane announced that today's work is over and she can take a vacation.

Today, Jane agreed to Mrs. Wood's invitation to watch a stage play together, Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Dream Night", which is a comedy that is very suitable for watching in summer. Jane "has" seen many versions, but such a classic version is the first time.

...It's really classic~ Such primitive props, exaggerated acting skills, thick makeup...Jane watched with relish.

"Girls need to come out and learn more, so they won't suffer a lot in the future." Mrs. Wood said to Jane, "You can read those novels, but don't take them seriously."

Jane nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wood looked at Jane with satisfaction, and Jane always felt that Mrs. Wood was like a grandmother looking at her granddaughter.

Jane: I am so attractive~O(∩_∩)O~~

On the way home in a two-wheeled carriage, Mrs. Wood asked the coachman to "drop in" to the largest market (vegetable market) in Cambridge Town. If it hadn't been for half of Cambridge Town, Jane really believed that it was a "drop in".

"Of course it's just a drop-in. Usually we seldom come here." Mrs. Wood said confidently.

All right, just be happy.

"The things here are very complete. Some products are sent directly from Liverpool, which are fresher than those in London." Mrs. Wood had special gossip, but Jane noticed that Mrs. Wood herself didn't seem to have been here.

The market was more vibrant than the two ladies imagined. Mrs. Wood took Jane and rushed into the market like a soldier, "We need something different. It's rare for you to rest. We have to cook some special dishes." Wood The wife said again confidently, as if she was the one who did the cooking.

Then Jane discovers a person here who is logically impossible.

"Sherlock? What are you doing here? Why are you dressed so strangely?" Jane looked at Sherlock in shabby clothes and a flat hat with a look of surprise... He looked as if he had just come out of some factory of.

Did you say the word weird?Sherlock looked at Jane speechlessly. In fact, he wanted to say that he was ashamed to call him weird when he came to the market wearing clothes that looked like he just came out of the theater (you guessed it)?

"You know each other?" asked Mrs. Wood, standing by.

"Sherlock Holmes, one of the customers in the shop, the younger brother of a friend of mine," said Jane. "This is Mrs. Wood, my friend and my present guardian."

Mrs. Wood and Sherlock looked each other over.

"Holmes? You can be regarded as Jane's friend. The young man is young and strong, come and help us carry things." Mrs. Wood has always been very righteous, so Sherlock became the porter of the two ladies in a state that he was inexplicable …carried a lot of things that he didn't know what they were into the carriage, and then he was invited to stay for dinner.

Today, Jane specially bought a piece of beef filet, which is the tenderest tenderloin, and she is going to cook a big dish - Beef Wellington.This dish has long existed in the UK. It used to be called Goulash Stew. Since the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, this dish has been renamed Beef Wellington.

In addition to Wellington steak, Jane also plans to cook a dish of crispy duck, combining Chinese and Western, hey!

Both are time-consuming dishes, and both Jane and Dwyer do them at the same time.

Here Dwyer cuts and slices, all kinds of cuts, onion, ginger, garlic, nuts, onions, herbs and mushrooms, and ham should also be sliced. Over there, Jane fried the beef in a pan and cooled it to start making puff pastry.

Here Dwyer cuts the ingredients and washes the duck, puts the duck and the seasoning into the pot to cook according to Jane’s instructions, and over there, Jane puts the spiced mushrooms and nuts in the pot to fry slowly and then take it out of the pot to cool down, and then finds a piece of muslin Spread the ham on top.

The waiting time is a bit long, Jane thought about it, let’s make some peanut candy, this is simple and does not take much time, just fry the peanuts and crush them, melt the sugar over a low heat, add peanuts and sesame seeds, stir well, and put in Just shape and cut into pieces in the container, it's quick and easy.

Jane likes peanuts very much. They are delicious and can be made in many ways. Speaking of which, European peanuts were brought back from the American continent by the Spaniards... Evil colonists, eh!Jane spurned herself for a second in her heart.

After the peanut candy is ready, the duck is also cooked. Jane directs Dwyer to empty the pot, put the duck on the cloth to absorb the water, and start to spread oil and honey. After that, the duck needs to be poured into the oil pan, So you have to hang it up to dry out the moisture first.It's just that this step usually takes a long time. Jane can only roast the duck after half an hour of air drying to dry out the moisture. Although the taste will be slightly worse this way, the advantage is that it is fast.

While Jane was packing the ducks, Dwyer was packing the steaks, and she had to spread the stuffing over the ham and roll the whole steak in the middle, a laborious job.Originally, it is best to keep the steak in the refrigerator to shape, but... now I have to rely on Dwyer's strength to shape it by hand. Finally, remove the muslin cloth and wrap it with meringue, then brush with egg yolk liquid, sprinkle some spice powder, and directly Put in the oven.

"Tired me out," Dwyer said, sitting on the stool.She had to wrap the steak again just now, and she had to be careful not to tear the muslin, which was really hard.

"Drink some water." Jane poured a glass of honey lemonade for Dwyer. Drinking a sour-sweet drink is the most comfortable when sweating.

"Thank you, Miss Bennet." Dwyer was not polite, and drank a large glass in one go.

"Miss Bennet, you know a lot." Dwyer put down his glass and said to Jane, "Mrs. Bennet must be very good at cooking."

"Of course." Jane brags to her mother without blushing, "I started working in the kitchen several years ago. My mother said that girls have some specialties, and I happen to like these."

"You are so lucky to have such a good mommy." Dwyer said enviously.

The job of oiling the ducks at the end was dangerous, and Dwyer insisted that Jane not come.

"How can you come to such a dangerous job, Miss Bennet, I already know how to do it." Dwyer did a good job, but Jane saw it very thrillingly, and she wanted to do it for a long time. , the crispy duck dish will probably never appear at home.
