[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

According to Jane's suggestion, the time for each class is not long, so when Jane came out with water, it happened to be the time for everyone to rest.

"How are you doing?" Jane asked.

"That's easy." Lydia said first.

"I haven't learned a few letters yet. There are 26 letters in total. You have to memorize them all, and the order must not be wrong." Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"Catherine made a mistake too!" Lydia couldn't help screaming again.

"Hush, Lydia, ladies don't scream." Mary put down her glass and frowned.

"Hmph." Lydia drank a few sips of water and gave the glass to Jane.

In fact, Jane thinks that Lydia and Elizabeth are a bit alike. Both of them are very smart, and they like to express themselves, and they are also very strong... At least they seem to be quite similar at present, and probably because of this, they are of the same sex (personality) Repelling each other, the two are very wrong.

"Jane, I want to go to the bathroom," Catherine said suddenly.

"Me too." Lydia followed closely behind.

"My God." Elizabeth lamented loudly, "It's only been a few minutes, why do you two have so much business?"

"Okay, don't complain, being hungry and wanting to go to the toilet is unbearable." Jane thought it was normal, isn't that the case for kindergarten-aged children?

The three older girls helped the little sisters go to the toilet together, washed their hands well, and when they came back, Jane also taught everyone to sing "Alphabet Song".The tune of this song was originally a variation of Mozart's "Little Star Variations". It is catchy and easy to remember. Elizabeth and Mary learned it after listening to it twice. This song taught Catherine and Lydia to learn the alphabet, and the efficiency was greatly increased.

In the kitchen, while the dough was fermenting, Mrs. Bennet decided to teach Jane how to make a simple pudding.

In the UK, pudding can refer to all desserts, and sometimes these desserts are not necessarily sweet...Emmmm, it can be said to be very individual.

What Mrs. Bennet taught Jane to do is of course the simplest one. Just use some sugar, eggs and milk, stir them together, filter them, and steam them in a pot for a while. This is done by using the coagulation of eggs sex.

Jane was a craftsman before, and she has made countless puddings, but she has never made puddings with such a crude tool, and because of the different quality of ingredients, the proportions are different from those she made before.

"What is this?" Except for Jane, the four sisters were in a daze at the bowl of mush.

Guessing from the color and smell... This thing should be a bowl of pudding, but please forgive me for being ignorant, is this pudding that has not solidified pudding?

"I suppose it could be called, Failed Pudding, well, do any of you want some?" Jane asked.

"Me." Catherine picked up the only spoon, took a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

"Actually... it's like pudding, but it's not solidified." Catherine commented, she ate another spoonful, and the "failure pudding" that was not much was reduced by one-third.

"What is like pudding? This is pudding thank you." Jane stood aside and said dissatisfied.

"You've eaten too much, Catherine." Mary cried, "It's my turn." She grabbed the spoon and took a bite. "It's not bad, why is it not solidified?"

"I, I." Lydia reached out to grab the spoon, and Elizabeth took the first step. She first scooped a little into her mouth, and then scooped up a big spoon, "I think it's a bit too sweet."

Lydia was holding a bowl and wanted to cry, QAQ, is she my sister?

Catherine: Don't give it to me.

Lydia: Who said I don't want it!

Plastic flower sisterhood.

"I don't know why it didn't solidify. I think it may be that the proportion of eggs is less." Jane was very pleased with the support of the sisters, and then...she brought out another bowl of "successful pudding" from the kitchen.

"Isn't this done? Why did you give us the bowl that didn't solidify?" Mary asked strangely.Elizabeth glanced at her quietly, "If Jane served this bowl first, would you still want to eat that bowl?" She has seen this kind of routine a long time ago.

Mary: That makes sense...I didn't expect you to be such a Jane.

Because of the age of the students, the study did not last for a few hours, but ended shortly after the snack (pudding).

The four girls couldn't get enough of it, so they went to the living room to play the piano and sing alphabet songs.Elizabeth was very proud, and felt that her idea was really good. It not only allowed the two little ones to consolidate what they had learned today, but also practiced the piano with Mary.

In the kitchen, Jane watched May and Mrs. Bennet put the bread into the oven. At this time, there was no electric oven, it could only be called a stove. It could not only bake bread, but also roast chicken, duck, and meat.This kind of oven is heated by wood burning, the temperature is completely based on experience, and it is not used every day, so Mrs. Bennet will make a lot of bread at one time.

This kind of stove is a big piece of kitchen for a family, and those who can afford it are considered big families. Many people in the village simply buy brown bread to eat. The Anderson family opened a bakery, and the Bennet family occasionally I will also visit it.

Most of the bread is the simplest kind without adding anything, and it has a slightly fermented sour taste when it is done. When eating, spread jam or butter on the bread.The first three days after making the bread, the bread is still relatively soft, and then it will become harder and harder.In addition to eating these breads for herself, Mrs. Bennet will also give some to the pastor in the church or neighbors. If the neighbors make new bread, she will also send some to the Bennet family. Reciprocity is a kind of social interaction.

It is said that they are neighbors, but in fact there are only a few of them. Mrs. Bennet will not do anything to lower her status.

In addition to bread, Mrs. Bennet planned to make a pound cake while using the stove today. This cake was enough for them to eat for a few days. The child's teeth have not yet grown well, and it would be indigestible if eaten too hard.

In addition, Mrs. Bennet had some pies and a roast chicken to cook, and finally baked bread once more in the residual heat after the stove had died down.

So as long as you turn on the stove once, you can't waste it. There are many things to do.

Mrs. Bennet taught Jane what is the ratio of sugar, eggs, milk and flour, how long does it take to ferment, how to estimate the temperature, the distance between the dough in the oven, etc., in short, There is a lot to learn, Jane listened very seriously, and even wanted to take notes on paper, but was laughed at by Mrs. Bennet and May.

"My God, Jane, you're so ridiculous." Mrs. Bennet thought the eldest daughter was so cute, "Don't be so serious, after you watch it a few more times, I'll let you try it out. Of course it will." That's how Mrs. Bennet herself came.

After baking a batch of bread, Mrs. Bennet did not add fire, but prepared to bake with the remaining heat. She put the freshly baked bread on the table to cool, then found a few small baskets, put the bread in, and cut the bread again. After a few slices of cake, the girls were called in.

"These are for the Lucas family, and these are for the pastor, and I'll be back for dinner after delivery," said Mrs. Bennet.

"Okay, Mommy." Miss Bennet*5 replied simultaneously.

The children went out with their baskets. They had done a lot of work, so it was difficult.While they were away, Mrs. Bennet was finally able to sit down and have a good rest.

On the way, several younger sisters rushed to report to Jane what they learned today. In the eyes of Jane and Elizabeth, learning a few letters is certainly not a big deal, but Catherine and Lydia can sit there and study obediently. Already pretty good, so Elizabeth has nothing to complain about.

Catherine and Lydia, however, were in high spirits, experiencing the joy of learning for the first time, and decided to show it off to Mr. Bennet again at dinner.

But everyone always thinks that Jane is the best. Not only did she learn how to make pudding, but she can also sing the alphabet song, which made Catherine and Lydia memorize all the letters at once (although they can't write the rest).Now Catherine and Lydia can't wait to learn all the letters.

Not only Miss Bennet*4 thinks Jane is smart, but Mrs. Bennet also thinks that Jane is very smart and cute. Every time she teaches Jane to make something, she only needs to read it a few times to understand it, and she can master the tricks by doing it a few times.

Especially in the area of ​​cooking, Jane is very talented. Although she does not have enough strength to make bread with dough, she often has different inspirations, making some new combinations, and trying to make some new dishes.Even though the ingredients were still the same, the seasonings were still the same, but on the table of the Bennet family, there were some dishes that had never been seen before and could be used as heirloom dishes.

Mrs. Bennet: As expected of my daughter, like me!

Elizabeth also made Mrs. Bennet very proud.In the past, Elizabeth preferred Mr. Bennet and always made Mrs. Bennet a little jealous. She felt that Elizabeth was hot-tempered and stubborn, and always liked to bluff like a boy. If she It would have been nice to be a real boy, but unfortunately it wasn't.She can't even cook as a celebrity, and she either goes outside to play every day, or reads at home like Jane, and doesn't know how to help with housework.

But now Mrs. Bennet doesn't think so at all. On the contrary, she thinks it's good for Elizabeth to have a boyish temper. Otherwise, how can she control several younger sisters?Although Elizabeth was always vomiting blood and screaming at Lydia, and the two often quarreled, every time Elizabeth would grab Lydia to continue studying, and then under the mediation of Jane and Mary, the two People are reconciled as before.

Mrs. Bennet: As expected of my daughter, like me!

On the other side, the five sisters, the older carrying a basket and the younger holding hands, went to Sir Lucas's house first.

This Sir William Lucas, like Bennet, is one of the few respectable families in the village, and they are the nearest neighbors to the Bennet family, so the friendship between the two families is not bad, especially the children.

The eldest daughter of the Lucas family, Charlotte Lucas, is fifteen or sixteen years old. She is gentle and intelligent, but she looks a bit dull. Mrs. Bennet once said in private, "Poor Miss Lucas It's fine, but it's a pity that I grew up according to my parents' shortcomings."

Although Charlotte is several years older than the Bennet children, her friendship with Jane and Elizabeth is strong.Mrs. Lucas did not encourage her daughters to read too many books, and Charlotte often came to Bennet's house to borrow books. She was usually very low-key, and few people knew her hobbies except Jane.

Charlotte received the five Miss Bennet very friendly, and the maid next to her curled her lips secretly. The Lucas family started out as a business, once served as the mayor, and even won a knighthood. They thought they had superior taste.The family took issue with the fact that the Bennets always took this sourdough bread as a gift, but forgot that their own family returned the same bread.

The Miss Bennets didn't stay any longer, they still had to go to the pastor.

The author has something to say: Do you know the song that every kid who learns English can sing?
