Daily life of world cleaners [Comprehensive]

There is not much difference between British women in this era and Chinese women in the set of obeying the father at home, obeying the husband when married, and obeying the son when the husband dies.From Ji Yue's point of view, most of the time, women here have less status than women of the same status in China at the same time.The dowry of Chinese women has been taken care of by themselves since ancient times, and belongs to women themselves.

Women here want to keep their property only if they don't marry or become widows.Once a widow marries, all her property will be transferred to her new husband.

Like Jane and Elizabeth of the Bennet family, they can find husbands who are united by love.Very few in this day and age.

All right!As an old goblin who has lived for so many years, Ji Yue never figured out the benefits of getting married in this era.There is no benefit to doing it, which shows that women in this world have been married, which is the greatest meaning of their life. This way of thinking has been completely brainwashed.

As a sober person, Ji Yue can't do anything, she thinks she can't be a pioneer.The only thing she can do is to pull the loved ones around her.

Ji Yue felt that she should be thankful that she lived in a wealthy gentry family.Although the original book always says that the sisters of the Bennet family have no dowry, this is compared with the girls of the big landowners and rich merchants in this era.

For the poor masses, the girls of the Bennet family are all the ladies of the noble lord's family!Mr. Bennet's annual income is 2000 pounds. The Bennett family can have a female cook, two maids, two male servants, and a family of coachmen!

During these years at Bennett's house, Ji Yue has never cleaned the room or washed clothes by herself.Even cooking in the kitchen is just learning from Mrs. Bennet.I'm in the mood to make some snacks or something.The staple food has always been made by their female chef.

Over the years, Ji Yue has gotten used to being served by servants.It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.When she can't use her abilities, Ji Yue still enjoys her life with servants.

Even if she moves to this manor of her own in the future, she doesn't want her quality of life to drop.It seems that servants and the like must be found before moving in.

Lydia touched the only sofa in the living room and found that it was cleaned very well. It seems that there are still people in this manor who are still maintaining the basic cleanliness.

Pull the sisters to sit down, although this sofa is an ordinary three-seater sofa, but the four sisters can also sit down when squeezed together.If you want to live in this manor, you must first complete all the furniture.

After sitting down, Lydia realized that she was really tired.Although the sisters are all in good physique, after walking up and down, back and forth, inside and out, their heels are really sore.

"Mary, are you planning to move here?" Lydia asked Ji Yue.Once you have a property, you need to manage it, otherwise it would be a pity to waste it.

"Even if you don't move here, you should come here often to have a look. If you want to spin and weave by yourself, there are enough places here for you to toss around."

Hearing Ji Yue's words, both Lydia and Katie's eyes lit up.Both of them are beauty-loving people, but they are still a bit reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy silk fabrics brought back from the Far East.Even if you are willing to spend money to buy these fabrics, you have to go to big cities to buy them.Meryton, the nearest town to their home, did not have such good fabrics.That is, the color, pattern, and texture are not good.

The girls of the Bennett family, who have been selling fake oriental embroidery for so many years, have developed a sharp eye and are absolutely picky about fabrics.The Bennet sisters, who no longer need to worry about the dowry, spend more time making beautiful dresses for themselves.Now there are fewer and fewer people who can catch their eyes.

Especially Lydia, she has the highest requirements for clothing.And her talent in this area is the highest among the sisters.If placed in the 21st century, it would be a proper fashion designer!And it can be developed in an all-round way.

“I see the newest spinning and looms in the magazines, but they’re supposed to be noisy when they’re running, and it’s not a good idea to have them in the main house.” For new things, the Bennett girls The ability to accept is super strong.

When Lydia had these ideas, she had researched all the machines she needed.As Mary said, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.Since you have an idea, with your own ability, the chances of working hard to realize it are quite high, so why don't you start making preparations when you have an idea?

"There is a large open space next to it, and it is convenient to add a few more rooms." If the things the sisters want to do are spread out one by one, the space needed is still quite large.Ji Yue is very satisfied with this main house and doesn't want to destroy this beautiful house at all.The rooms needed for these machines were built next to them.Ordinary housing costs are very cheap.

The carvings on the ceiling and baseboards on the walls of this house are where the value lies.

"Mary, can I move here to live with you in the future?" As for spinning and weaving, little Judy is not interested in these now.She is more concerned about whether she can live with Mary in the future.Mary is in charge of her studies. If Mary moves here, she must follow her.

"Of course, my dear little Judy. But I probably won't be moving here this year. It will take a while for this place to be ready for people to live in. As you can see, everything is lacking here."

Ji Yue guessed that the previous owner of this Zhuangzi might be in urgent need of money.She wasn't just guessing. Look at this manor, everything that can be cashed out has been dealt with.And those cows were also bought by Mr. Bennett at the market price.This is also a kind of cashing out, isn't it?The original owner must have gone into business!In today's world, many small landlords have professionally become factory owners.Of course, these are Ji Yue's own guesses.

"Then I have to choose the furniture in my room." Like Ji Yue, Judy also lives in a separate room. Unfortunately, the decorative furniture in her current room are all the styles and types that Mrs. Bennet likes.Now that she has the opportunity to choose, she must choose what she likes.

This place was originally bought by Ji Yue as a safe haven for the ladies at home.According to today's average life expectancy, Mr. Bennett already belongs to longevity.Ji Yue saw from the data that the average life expectancy of aristocratic and bourgeois men at this time would only be over 40 years old.Mr. Bennett, who is over 50 now, can be said to have lived a long life.

Mr. Bennet married Mrs. Bennet when he was nearly 30 years old, and Mrs. Bennet was just over 20 years old at the time.Whenever she thought of her husband's age, Mrs. Bennet fell into a state of disquiet.This is one of the reasons why Mrs. Bennet in the original book hurriedly finds a rich husband for her daughters.

Now with Ji Yue's intervention, Mrs. Bennet and the girls in the Bennet family can live smoothly and comfortably even without the care of their husband and father.Mrs. Bennet, who has no worries about the future, is also many times cuter than in the original book.

As soon as the sisters sat down, Mrs. Murray, the housekeeper of the manor, came in and said that the servants in the manor were all due, and asked Mary if she would see her now.

Now that you are here, you must know about the situation of the manor.I just took a look around, but I didn't see a few servants in the manor.It should also be seen.Mr. Bennet told Ji Yue that the manor did not rent out the land, but hired farmers to take care of it.

After seeing all the employees in the manor, Ji Yue realized that there were only three employees left in the manor, which happened to be a family of three.Old Tom the cattleman, Barbara the cowboy, and their son Tom Little.They are regarded as servants of this manor (equivalent to long-term workers).These three will also sign a new employment agreement with Ji Yue.Their employment time will only end at the end of this month.

From Mrs. Morrie, Ji Yue learned that Old Tom was an experienced cattleman.Although he was called Old Tom, he was just over thirty years old.Old Tom is very good at treating some small problems of livestock, especially in breeding and delivering babies.He is a skilled worker, and of course his wages are higher than other cattlemen, at £16 a year, which is £4 a year higher than his peers.

Barbara was in charge of milking the cows, looking after the chickens and ducks.And she is also very experienced in hatching chickens, ducks and geese.The hatch rate is also good.But before Ji Yue took over, all the chickens, ducks and geese were sold by the former manor owner, and now she only has to milk the cows.Barbara's salary is £6 a year.

Little Tom belongs to the handyman category. He not only helps old Tom graze, but also helps Barbara. When spring comes, the work of sowing grass and seeds is basically his job.Little Tom's wages are £4 a year.

Ji Yue guessed that with this family, the manpower problem of her small farm would be basically solved.According to what the family of three said, there were 50 cows, 500 sheep, 300 pigs, 300 chickens, ducks and geese, more than 300 rabbits and a small vegetable garden in the manor.They also said that it would be no problem for their family of three to raise more sheep.

Ji Yue has already visited the manor. On the land of the manor, every hectare of land is separated by fences. These are probably the places where these livestock are raised separately!And with so much land, it would be no problem to take turns to graze the city every month.

Think about driving the animals to the grazing place in the morning and returning before the evening every day.Although the number of livestock is relatively large, it is not very tiring and busy work.

Today almost all livestock and poultry are free-range.Animals need to be fed throughout the year and in winter.The usual work is to clean the place where the animals live.

In the end, they also solemnly recommended their 8-year-old youngest son, John, to Ji Yue.A salary of £3 a year would be enough.It is said that after having their youngest son, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits can be raised at least twice as much, and that is absolutely no problem.

Ji Yue looked at the boy who was only eight years old, the most characteristic child laborer of this era.Ji Yue thought of those girls who lost their parents in the orphanage.Most of their way out is as a maid.It's still the kind of labor exchange for food and lodging.And there are many children who are given delicious rations and abused.Now that she is capable, does she provide these children with a safe and comfortable job?
