[Comprehensive film and television host British and American drama] Zai Su also wants to fall in lov

Colonel Brandon was going to visit Sir John's house to discuss the next hunting time with Sir John.When riding here, he saw such a wonderful scene.

He had heard about this girl, no, to be precise, he had heard too many times from Sir John about the people who were coming to live at Barton Cottage.

He thought it had nothing to do with him, but now, he vaguely felt something was different.His heart was beating hotly again, but now he didn't have the courage he had when he was young.Moreover, that lady probably wouldn't have taken a fancy to him either.He is too old, such a bright little girl, let's leave it to other young men who are more youthful and vigorous!

With an inaudible sigh, he drove his horse towards Sir John's house—

Su Li went back with three big fish, and she was greeted by the happy smiles of her mother and sister.Although everyone is dissatisfied with the poor life now, they are still happy and surprised to be able to eat big fish for free!

Dashwood said with a bit of dissatisfaction with himself: "Eleanor, we can go fishing together tomorrow, catch more, we can marinate it and eat it in winter, so that we can save some money on buying meat..." But said As she spoke, her eyes turned red with sadness: "Oh, we actually need to eat kippers to save money! But when we were at Nolan Manor, we ate good beef for every meal! Oh! Cruel Mr. Dashwood ! Why did he leave us so early!"

Su Li patted her mother on the back helplessly, and persuaded: "Mom, we don't need to eat salted fish to survive the winter. Although we can't eat good beef for every meal, I can guarantee a Beef is available two days a week and other meats are available the other days, fresh. Mom, we need to be realistic, if we eat beef at every meal we will starve to death in the winter...  ..."

Obviously, she was not very good at persuading people, and Mrs. Dashwood cried even more bitterly!

She had no choice but to ask Marianne to comfort Mrs. Dashwood, because the two were equally full of emotion, acted on their own will, and were innocent and stupid.

Of course, it wasn't nice to say that about her mother and sister, but she hoped that after a few days in the cottage they would understand their situation.Instead of taking the habit at Nolan Manor as the standard.

She simply took Margaret to the attic upstairs. The two sisters enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the distance on the carpet in the attic. From time to time, they looked down at the map that Margaret liked, and discussed a certain country. Soon, it was time for lunch.The mother and daughter downstairs have already calmed down and started playing the piano and reading books!

"Mom! Marianne, it's time to eat!" Su Li took Margaret's little hand into the restaurant first, and sat down at the round table.The maids quickly brought over the portioned food.Vegetable salad, fish steak, bread.

Simple to a little rudimentary.

In China, that one fish can make several dishes.

Su Li ate up the food in front of her, looked up at Mrs. Dashwood who was still eating slowly, "Mom, do you still remember me pestering my father to buy me books about China?"

"En. I remember." Mrs. Dashwood looked up, a little puzzled: "What's the matter? Why did you suddenly mention this?"

"I saw a lot of recipes and some Chinese embroidery methods on it. I want to try it. Those foods look much more delicious than these." We don’t need to spend money on the fish caught in the stream, mom, just let me try it! Okay?”

Marianne frowned, with some doubts: "Eleanor, can you really do it?"

"Of course! I'm sure." Su Li picked up a handkerchief and wiped the empty corner of her mouth, and smiled: "You should trust your own sister, shouldn't you? You know, I even brought out the manor under Fanny's nose." Isn't it the usual collection of books?"

"Oh! This is indeed an act worthy of praise!" Marianne laughed happily: "Alright then! I agree!"

Margaret then raised her little hand: "Then I agree too!"

Mrs. Dashwood pinched Margaret's little nose dotingly: "Okay! Then try it once!"

"Mom, I dare say, if I succeed tonight, you will never let me try just once!" Su Liang raised her head, stood up, went to the window, picked up the poetry collection on the window sill, sat down and read it.

In the evening, Mrs. Dashwood and Marianne sat in the living room and smelled the tempting aroma from the kitchen from time to time, and they were a little restless.However, they can be sure that they will be able to enjoy very good food tonight!

It's just not a good feeling to wait!

"Mom! Marianne! It's okay! We can have dinner!" The little angel Margaret, who was staying in the kitchen, brought the good news, which shocked the mother and daughter of Dashwood, straightened their clothes, He walked into the restaurant with a good posture.

The fish was left over at noon. Considering the tastes of foreigners, she didn't make much changes.It's just taking advantage of the whole fish.

The fattest and thickest part of the fish is still fried into fish steaks, and the bones and fish heads are boiled into a soup. After removing the fish bones, put the prepared fish fillets in it, and chop the last remaining fish into minced meat. After adding a part of the fish soup, put it in the prepared dough and knead it into a small fish soup dumpling.It would be great if there were crabs, and it would definitely taste better with crab roe!For the last vegetable, she simply cooked some and mixed it with a cold dish.

She walked to the table and sat down, introducing her results following the maid's movements.There is no way, the materials are lacking, so I can only make it like this. When I buy some chicken and beef next week, I can eat stewed chicken soup and stewed tomato beef.

Margaret was the first to take a sip of the hot fish soup with a spoon, and exclaimed in an unladylike way: "Eleanor! You cook so delicious! And this, what is it called? It looks like white Like flowers!"

"This is a soup dumpling. Be careful when you eat it. You have to poke a small hole in the dough first, then suck out the soup, and then eat the dumpling in one bite!" Su Li said, showing Margaret Demonstrated a bit.

The little girl imitated her sister's actions, and soon all four soup dumplings went into her stomach. She raised her head and looked at Su Li pitifully: "Eleanor, this is delicious, I want to eat more !"

Marian also raised her head: "Eleanor, why do you only cook so much! I really want to eat a few more!"

Su Li had no choice but to share the remaining three on her plate with one for Marianne and two for Margaret: "Don't just eat soup dumplings, eat some of the others too..."

Mrs. Dashwood couldn't see the pitiful look of her beloved Marianne, and hastily shared the uneaten buns on her plate between her two daughters.I ate other dishes by myself.

"Eleanor, it's really delicious!"

Su Li smiled: "Mom, I taught Meggie and the others how to make it. If you want to eat it in the future, just ask them to do it."

Mrs. Dashwood nodded, bowed her head and began to eat gracefully.

After a meal, there were only empty plates left on the table. Margaret clutched her stomach and yelled that she was full. It was rare for Marianne to hold Margaret's hand in the front courtyard instead of playing the piano. walk.

Su Li and Mrs. Dashwood sat at the table and looked at the account book, because they developed a delicious new dish with fish today, and they all felt that they could save some more money, and maybe they could save Barton Township next year. Give it a little makeover.The two living rooms are a bit small, they can be slightly enlarged, and the stairs should be widened, the current stairs are a bit small.

"Mom, let's buy cloth and make skirts by ourselves in the future! We are all good at craftsmanship, aren't we? The same goes for hats. We can decorate by ourselves when we buy plain hats. I brought all the clothes and hats from when I was a child. Some of the lace on them They can be removed to adorn new dresses, gems and feathers can adorn our new hats or be sewn onto ribbons to make new headdresses."

Mrs. Dashwood nodded: "I also have a lot of old-fashioned jewelry in my dowry. We can modify it ourselves. You and Marianne have already started socializing. You can go with Mrs. Jennings this winter. For the social dance in London, we need to make your dresses in these two months. Each person needs to prepare at least three sets!" As she said that, she wanted to go upstairs to find out her jewelry.

Su Li pressed Mrs. Dashwood's hand: "Mom, don't be so anxious. It's getting dark now, and there's still time to start tomorrow. It doesn't take much to make a dress, does it?"

"Yes, you are right..." Mrs. Dashwood sat back slowly, picked up the bill and looked at it: "Eleanor, I have always been proud of you, you have managed this family very well, at least , much better than me..."

"Mom..." Su Li pushed away the ledger on the table, walked up to Mrs. Dashwood and knelt down, and put her head on Mrs. Dashwood's lap: "Mom, we are a family. We should take care of each other. Marianne is innocent and lovely, and Margaret is still young, and your health is not very good during this time, so isn't it normal for me to be in charge of the house?"

"Oh, my dear Eleanor..." Mrs. Dashwood stroked her eldest daughter's hair lovingly, her eyes turned red again.On weekdays, her favorite is Marianne, who has a similar personality to her.But in this case, she clearly knew that Marianne's temper would not help their current life in any way.She began to reflect on whether it was her fault for blindly pampering Marian.However, Marianne is already 17 years old, and even if she wants to change it, it's too late——

Fortunately, fortunately, she still has Eleanor.

What would they do without Eleanor...
