[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Although today is "Lady's Day", the business that opens the door is still for men. Dwyer and Anna didn't express it on the face, but they were always feeling uneasy in their hearts, for fear that no lady would come to the door today.

But the two of them really think too much. In Cambridge Town, or in the whole of England, ladies, especially young ladies, have more and more ideas and needs, and more and more independent.

Just as Jane thought, a few years ago, even country ladies had to follow the rules of going out together, but as more and more female workers appeared because of factories, more and more women appeared alone on the street. stand up.Maybe some people think it's not decent at first, but compared with living, being not decent can't stop women from going out at all.

Ladies who like Hogwarts desserts have known about "Lady's Day" for a long time. They are ready to move, dress up early, meet friends, wear beautiful clothes, and show up in Hogg at nine or ten o'clock. Woz's door.They also pretended to pass by, saw the posters by accident, and deliberately commented on the delicious snacks bought by their fathers, brothers, and servants in the past, to show that they entered the dessert shop out of curiosity.

Today, Jane specially provided another drink, black tea, for the ladies who don’t like coffee, but most of the ladies who came in wanted to experience the same feelings as the men, so they almost ordered coffee.

"It's so bitter, I want to add sugar." A round-faced lady secretly said to her companion.

The round-faced lady's companion has beautiful chestnut-colored hair. She gave the round-faced lady a sneaky look, "Men all drink like that." Then she took a small sip of black coffee reservedly, and swallowed it straight down. In fact, she I don't like black coffee either. 〒▽〒

The round-faced lady ordered a volcanic stone snack, happily divided a small piece with a fork and put it in her mouth.

"But this snack is really delicious. The little butterfly on the plate can be taken off, ah, so cute." The round-faced lady is a loyal customer of Hogwarts, but she has never been here in person. I can only ask my brother to sell them.

Ms. Su Fa ordered red bean cakes. She picked up the red bean cakes and took a bite, then took a sip of coffee and swallowed it after a while. "You can try a sip of dessert and a sip of coffee, it doesn't seem so bitter." Miss Su Fa whispered.

"Really? I'll try too." The round-faced lady's eyes lit up.

Actually it's not etiquette to eat like this, but the two young ladies just want to break the rules.

The other ladies and the two young ladies had similar thoughts. Sitting here to eat and drink is not a proper thing to do. Since these ladies are sitting here, there is nothing wrong with doing something out of line.

At first, the ladies were a little nervous because they had mixed feelings, but they soon relaxed, because the store really felt very feminine and warm.

The female clerk who stood at the counter with a gentle expression was dumb and couldn't speak. Everyone consciously went in to order and pay, and then waited for a while at the counter, and took coffee and snacks to sit down at the seat.And the female clerk who feels very safe can make the men outside wait for her to take out the packed snacks as long as she stands at the door.

The ladies began to look at the layout of the store in a mood, and the small flowers that could be seen everywhere attracted the attention of many people. Only then did they realize that they were fake flowers, because lilies, roses and other flowers cannot be so small.

Just trying to inquire about this flower... The ladies suddenly remembered that they were in a dessert shop.

Cough cough, take a closer look, the store is really carefully arranged, such as the small cushions on the chairs, the half-drawn curtains, such as the flowers on the table... It really makes people wonder what kind of person the owner is.

After a while, three women finished their coffee and were about to leave. Before leaving, they came to the counter to pack some snacks.After handing over the wrapped snacks, Anna stretched out a cardboard box containing many shell-shaped biscuits. There was also a small note on the box, which read: "Fortune cookies, each person picks up one for free."

"Fortune cookies?"

"free?"

The three women glanced at each other and reached for one.

Anna put down the carton and gestured for the ladies to break the biscuits, and the three ladies followed her example and broke the biscuits.

There were three crisp "clicks", and a small strip appeared from inside the biscuit, with a sentence written on it.

The ladies who could walk into Hogwarts for coffee were at least cultured, and they whispered the words from the note.

"Keep your head down when necessary, and only raise your head when it's critical."

"The eyes of people with ideals are bright, because they have hope. No matter how difficult they encounter, they will work hard to create their ideals."

"Some things we know are wrong, but we have to insist on them because we are not reconciled."

The three women were thoughtful, but they all found it very interesting. They asked Anna, "Can I have another one?" Anna shook her head and pointed to the note on the box.

"Fortune cookies, one for each person for free."

Well, the ladies were not disappointed either, they restrained themselves from wanting more cookies.One of the women suddenly put the cracked biscuit into her mouth and began to chew it.

Ah, this is also an act that is not in line with etiquette, but the other two ladies also put the biscuits into their mouths and ate them. Finally, the three of them covered their mouths and laughed softly. After swallowing what was in their mouths, they were serious Make a ladylike departure again.

The behavior of the three ladies has attracted the attention of other ladies from just now. Not long after they left, two other ladies who came with them finished their coffee. Anna got her own fortune cookie there.

"Although I can't change others, I can change myself; although I can't change the result, I can change my mind."

"People born between March 3 and April 21 are lively, optimistic and strong, and red can bring good luck."

The two ladies looked at each other, carefully put away the note, and then threw the biscuit into their mouths like the previous three did, before leaving after eating.

This act seemed to have suddenly become a ritual. Before leaving, the ladies at each table came to the counter to break open a fortune cookie. After reading the note inside, they stood and ate the cookie before leaving.

"What are they doing?" Dwyer asked Anna puzzled, she didn't quite understand the strange way these ladies ate cookies.Dwyer had watched Miss Jane and Mrs Wood spend two days writing the note, so the fortune cookie sign was no mystery to her.

Anna didn't quite understand either. She was illiterate, and she didn't have such a deep comprehension ability. She would do what others told her to do.

During the lunch break, Dwyer told Jane about this, and Jane was also very depressed. She wanted to give some encouragement to the ladies, and she didn't want to engage in any cult! +_+

Well, forget it, let them go.

Jane thought very clearly that she didn't want to be a pioneer of the feminist movement. If someone came up with an official document or the neighbors around her collectively protested to her asking her to stop "Lady's Day", but if not, she would continue, after all, she opened a shop It is to make money.

Today's business is not as good as Jane thought. It's not surprising. There are definitely not as many women who can take care of the business as men, and women don't have as much money as men.

There is no need for manpower to stay to make snacks, so Jane simply asks Ben to go out and buy some goods.

In the past, as the only male employee in the store, I didn’t have much time to go out. Today is a rare opportunity to use a lot of raw materials, such as flour, cheese, butter, sugar, and salt. Communicate, if there are any new products, I can bring back some samples.

Don't think that people in this era are more concerned about credibility than later generations, that's all bullshit.Only when you get involved in it yourself will you know that small businessmen at this level seldom talk about credibility from the very beginning. If you are not strong enough in their eyes, it means that you are weak and can be bullied. They even dare to replace the whole bag of salt with sand.

In terms of reputation, it is the Jews who do better. How else can we say that they have culture and history?It's a pity that people of other ethnic groups in Europe don't seem to like them very much.

The reputation system was probably slowly established after countless people were deceived, and Jane didn't believe in people's hearts at all.

As a woman, Jane is limited in many ways, which is why she values ​​Ben's loyalty so much.As the only man in the store, many things need to be dealt with originally. If he learns to cheat Jane with suppliers... Jane really has no good way. Guidelines that do not tolerate deceit.

Fortunately, after the last beating, Ben's impetuous heart sank again.

Although there were not many things to do today, Jane never left. She sat in the kitchen alone, observing the situation in the store while waiting for news from Ben.She wasn't bored either, she knew it would be like this, Jane came here with letter paper, and was going to write a reply by the way.

The letters to home were soon completed, and it was how to write to Mycroft that Jane was uncertain about.Since this guy proposed to Jane, although he still sent letters in the name of Miss Kubert, the content has become extremely nasty.

Jane doesn't know if it's the same with other men chasing girls, what "Dear Jane", what "our children"... o((>ω<))o

When Jane saw the content of the letter, she thought it was someone else's letter that had been delivered by mistake. She even looked through the address, and it was true, it was her... Nonsense, it said "Dear Jane" at the beginning, why? Not for her?On the second thought, she wondered if Mycroft had lost his mind...(╯▽╰)

And Shakespeare's love poems... Please forgive the men of this era, they generally don't write poems themselves (maybe they can't write them), but only copy the love poems of famous poets. (╯▽╰)

Speaking of Shakespeare, look what kind of men he wrote about, either Mensao, Mensao, or Mensao, it can be seen that he himself is also a Mensao man, isn’t this a British tradition?

The author has something to say: Jane: It is really difficult for a woman to survive in this world, and she is depressed.
