Grasp the farming script in the famous book

Before this visit, Miss Bingley had refused to speak to Mrs. Bennet, who she considered herself to be vulgar and unreasonable.

But this time, during the dinner, Miss Bingley kept asking Mrs. Bennet politely: "At this moment, there is nothing I want to ask you more than where the cook is hired. "

She still didn't forget to turn her head and joke to Mrs. Hurst: "I think the easiest way to improve the standard of Netherfield's kitchen is to find a cook like that. Louisa, what do you think?"

Anyone who knew Miss Bingley would have been astonished—she had perhaps the most sincere admiration of Longbourne ever.

Roland has been sitting next to the taciturn Mr. Hearst, so he doesn't need to speak much.

She noticed, however, that Mr. Hurst had scarcely stopped talking since the main course had been served, and when he did stop, it was only a sigh of heartfelt admiration.

It seems that the "salt-baked chicken" served by Longborn really brought an unprecedented experience to the guests, and the effect was even better than the previous "afternoon tea" and "sandwiches".

The method of this salt-baked chicken is very simple. Wrap the cleaned spring chicken with tissue paper, paste a thick layer of coarse salt on the outside, put it in the oven, and roast it slowly at low temperature.

The aroma of the chicken that has been sealed in the salt shell can only be released when the cook knocks open the layer of salt shell that has been roasted until it is hard in front of the guests.

The spring chicken that was sealed in the tissue paper earlier has been roasted until it is crispy and boneless.The cook removed the whole chicken frame with two or three strokes, and the soft and rotten chicken was served to the guests' plates together with the stuffing stuffed in the belly of the spring chicken.

Regardless of the large amount of coarse salt used in cooking, a thick salt crust is formed. In fact, only the thin layer touches the ingredients and plays a seasoning role.The roasted spring chicken has firm and smooth skin, and the chicken has a mild taste and moderate saltiness.

The spring chicken belly has already been filled with various fresh herbs, parsnips and carrots, and a small amount of dried figs and pine nuts are also added.

The seasoning of the whole dish is balanced, the boneless spring chicken skin is golden in color, the meat is delicious, and the ingredients are rich in fragrance, which is not inferior.

In addition to the special cooking techniques of the chef, the excellent ingredients are also indispensable.

During the banquet, Roland heard Mr. Bingley praise and praise the dishes that the Bennett family used for banquets, and he felt proud: In the 22nd century, N3909 is a chicken breed that enjoys a high reputation, and even has the reputation of "the best in the world".In her opinion, Mr. Bingley could not be praised enough.

Faced with Miss Bingley's repeated questions, Mrs. Bennet shook her head slightly like a wise and wise woman, and replied slyly: "Miss Bingley, even if you just hire my cook, I'm afraid you can't do it." Such a main dish!"

The guests continued to ask questions, trying to get some more words out of Mrs. Bennett, but Mrs. Bennett made up her mind to whet her appetite so that Mr. Bingley would come to Longbourn to see Jane more often in the future, so why not Ken said more.

But the Longborn family all knew that the ingredients for this delicious meal came from the chicken farm in their backyard—the chicks there were bought by Roland from Meryton by mistake, and they were raised at home. play.

If it wasn't for entertaining his sister's "potential partner" this time, Roland would never have given away such precious N3909 for consumption.

Now Mrs. Bennett deliberately buys off the seeds, which is exactly what Roland wants. After all, there are only so many famous breeds in this plane, and if you eat one, you will lose one.

But in just one more year, the famous variety of Longborn can increase its production to the point where it can be supplied to the outside world.

Late at night, the guests at Longbourne returned to Netherfield in a carriage.

There was no sleep in the Longborn family—the women were all gathered in the living room.

Mrs. Bennet hugged Miss Bennet tightly: "Jane, my baby, you are so outstanding—I can guarantee that Mr. Bingley will propose to you tomorrow..."

Jane still smiled gently and peacefully, but she really didn't know how to reply to her mother.

Roland tugged at Elizabeth's sleeve and asked mysteriously, "Lizzie, that friend of Mr. Bingley..."

Mr. Darcy's affection for Elizabeth has gradually surfaced, and even Roland can see it.

Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders and said, "You must be looking for something else I can laugh at? After all, I'm just 'okay'."

Roland snickered suddenly, thinking to himself that the stalk of "it's passable" has never been passable.

At this time, Mary was sitting beside Roland, sighed, and said to Roland: "Sure enough, those travel notes and essays that can be read easily attract people's attention more than the books I have read on morality and human nature." .”

Mary's brightest day of the day is the moment when she talks eloquently and introduces the origin of the "sandwich" to others.

At that time, the people in the whole reception room were looking at Mary and listening to Mary, as if she was a woman with excellent insights-this was what Mary had been looking forward to for many years, but it never happened.

Roland replied with a smile: "Isn't it? Because they are more interesting than moral articles!"

Mary sighed deeply, sat up straight and said, "It can be seen that the superficial people are more popular in this world."

Roland was choked speechless, and really wanted to ask Mary: May I ask if you also have a "anti-OOC card" that you hate and get in the way?

But in the end, she still sincerely persuaded: "Mary, whether it is superficial or advanced, it should be up to you to decide in the end. It depends on what kind of books you like more and which contents you find more interesting."

Mary: ...

"The travel essays you have read are so impressive. Once you figure out how to make a sandwich in the kitchen, you can immediately remember its name and origin... Aren't these just what you are interested in?"

Mary was silent. For the first time, she felt that what this "ignorant" little sister said actually made sense.

"Mary, I know that you read books for yourself—not to please others." Roland added deliberately with a smile.

——Aren’t you reading for others?

Mary let out a breath suddenly, the body that was sitting upright finally relaxed a little, and the expression on her face became a little more easy-going.

Indeed, pretending to be unpredictable all day long in order to make others feel unpredictable seems to be...not interesting.

Mary seemed to have figured it out a bit.

Just then, at the other end of the room, Mrs. Bennet suddenly cried out:

"Lydia, my little Lydia... you'll be 15 in a few days!"

Roland immediately held his face in both hands and stood up from the sofa: "Oh mom, you mean..."

Mrs. Bennet clasped her hands and looked at her with a gentle and loving expression on her face: "...Yes, my baby Lydia...you can finally wear all your beautiful skirts, and then Put on your prettiest ribbons!"

"Put on a pair of dancing shoes that fit well, and you can dance with the most handsome men in town at the ball." Mrs. Bennet was incoherently excited when she thought of this scene.

Five daughters, she has five daughters out to socialize!

Roland: ...

this means……

This meant that the character she had drawn had finally reached the age where she could go out and socialize.

In the Bennett family, the eldest sister is not yet married, but the youngest sister has come out to socialize. Five sisters in a family are up for sale in the marriage market at the same time, which is indeed a bit... strange.

However, Mrs. Bennet didn't think it was strange, and the four sisters also rushed forward to congratulate Roland on his upcoming birthday.

Roland didn't feel much joy in his heart.

Is the passage of time in this plane so fast?

She's far from ready to go out into the world - she's still busy "farming" and has a bunch of "plans".

"My dear darling, although you are the youngest, the officers stationed at Meryton must like you the most!"

Mrs. Bennet kissed her little girl on the forehead, and then asked her: "Darling, do you want to stay at Longbourne, or go to your uncle's in London, for your first summer away?"

Roland: ...Is this still an option?

"Stay at Longbourn, Meryton, and Uncle Phillips will help you arrange a ball, and introduce you to all the officers stationed here."

"Oh, by the way, you also know all the gentlemen in Netherfield today. Although Mr. Bingley is Jane's, there is absolutely no problem for you to dance with him."

Roland and Jane: This...

"If you go to London, Uncle Gardiner will take you to see the London social season. They live in Cheapside Street, and they can definitely arrange for you to attend the biggest ball. Oh, and you should also bring your aunt to accompany you." You go to the shops in London, buy the latest fabrics, cut the latest dresses..."

No matter how good the relationship between the sisters is, the Bennett sisters still feel a little uncomfortable seeing the younger sister being so favored by the mother.

Kitty yelled: "Mom, why didn't I get this treatment the year before last?"

Mrs. Bennet: "Who gave you winter's birthday?"

Summer is a season tailored for "socializing".

In this season, the days are long and the nights are short, and the weather is warm. People come out of their homes one after another and hold various activities outside the green grass.

There are endless dances and picnics in big cities, and musicians will play endless happy notes.

And there will also be countless dazzling shop windows, which will make people linger and forget to return.

Of course, this is also a good time for farming - in the countryside in summer, the grass grows and warblers fly, flowers are everywhere, fresh fruits and vegetables are gradually ripening, and people start to prepare for harvesting...

But if Roland had to choose between the two—

Roland thought for a while, and said decisively to Mrs. Bennett, "I'm going to London!"
