[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

If the side dishes are highly appreciated by Sherlock Holmes, then the main dishes are a bit hard to describe.

pork.

chunks of pork

Big square chunks of pork.

Big square chunks of pork with the skin on.

Da Kuai Fang Square pork with skin on, but shiny and exuding a tempting aroma...×4.

The Gardner cooks prepared it well, and everyone's main course was the same.

Mr. Holmes: "..." Take it easy!But it seems very fat and tender?

Mrs. Holmes: "..." Fat meat!But it seems very Q-bomb?

Little Mr. Holmes: "..." It seems quite delicious.

The Gardners didn't notice the entanglement of the Holmes at all, but Jane felt that the three Holmes on the opposite side started to fly their brain waves again.

Jane: "..." What's the matter?What is the problem?

"Please, Mr. Holmes, please try it." Usually when making meat dishes, people usually remove the skin of the meat, so Mr. Gardner had to explain, "This is my favorite dish. It's not greasy at all. , tastes great." He had stuffed a piece into his mouth as he spoke.

Little Mr. Holmes shrugged and ventured to eat. "It doesn't seem very oily." Little Mr. Holmes' eyes lit up. "It's very good. I've never eaten this. Is this made with an exclusive secret recipe, Mr. Gardner?"

"Uh... yes yes, the exclusive secret recipe, haha." Mr. Gardner laughed dryly.

Jane ate a piece, um...not really satisfied, the taste is always lacking without soy sauce, but this time the color is great and the amount of sugar is just right.

"Ah, but, how can I let this, this." Mrs. Holmes poked at the fat part and whispered to Mrs. Gardner, "Not so..." She gestured.Although she is middle-aged, Mrs. Holmes still retains a little innocence on her face.

"First boil it with water, heat it directly in the pot after boiling, and finally stew it." Although Mrs. Gardner didn't do it, she watched it from the side and knew the general process.

"Sounds complicated." Mrs. Holmes said with an unconscious expression on her face.

"It's complicated, yes, but that's what makes it so delicious," said Mrs. Gardner.

"You are right." Mrs. Holmes nodded.

The first few dishes basically have meat, and the last vegetable salad and boiled fruit in sugar are very popular.Especially for desserts, it seems to be quite simple, just cut the fruit into pieces and boil them in sugar water. In fact, it requires skill to make them soft but not cottony, sweet but not greasy.

After dinner, Mr. Gardner invited Mr. Holmes to have a cigarette, while Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Gardner went to the nursery to talk and drink tea.Little Mr. Holmes took the opportunity to invite Jane to take a walk in the yard to digest food.

"Actually, you made that stew, right?" Mr. Holmes paced back and forth in the yard with Jane on his arm. "I guess you are the hero of today's banquet."

"Well... why do you ask that?" Jane asked.

"It's very simple. If the chef had such skills, he would definitely not work at Mr. Gardner's house."

It seems very reasonable. _(-0-)_

"Actually, this is only one aspect, and your shoes," said Mr. Holmes.

"Shoes?" Jane looked down at her shoes. Is there any problem?

Little Mr. Holmes pointed to Jane's shoes and said: "Your shoes have coal powder. There is no need to light the fireplace in this weather, so the only possibility is that it is in the kitchen, and you need to stand by the stove for so long that your shoes are covered with coal. Fan... It seems that cooking is the most likely option. You changed your clothes, but not your shoes. Haha, do you think it’s quite simple when you say it.”

"How could it be?" Jane gave Mr. Holmes a strange look. "Do most people notice the edges of other people's shoes? It's not easy just because of this power of observation."

The power of observation is really not something to talk about casually. Let’s talk about modern people. Most of them live in high-rise buildings in the city. I want you to immediately tell me how many seconds it takes to take the elevator from your door to the first floor?How many steps are there to climb the stairs?It's not Jian Chuan, this question can pass 90.00% of the people above eight.

What?Do you think it is useless?Well, now you know why you can't be Sherlock Holmes?

Jane now believes that this "Sherlock Holmes" is very likely to be the Holmes of "Sherlock Holmes"... Well, the family must have left.

Little Mr. Holmes looked at Jane seriously, trying to tell whether she really thought so or was just saying it in passing... so she wasn't joking.

"I'm glad you think so." Little Mr. Holmes asked equally curiously, "So it should be the exclusive secret recipe of the Bennet family? To be able to do this, you should have studied it for several years, right? How old were you at that time?"

"It doesn't matter how old you are. I like this, baking, cooking and so on. I heard that British food is quite famous in foreign countries. People call us the 'country of dark cuisine'. Sometimes I think they are right." Jane thought it was necessary to explain, otherwise it would be bad if people thought it was her parents' fault.

"I don't mean to offend." Little Mr. Holmes said very kindly, "Actually, sometimes I also think that the British dinner dishes are really quite... well, but the desserts are not bad. I like desserts the most. Today's desserts are very good. I never thought that just poaching apples and pears in sugar water could taste so good."

"Thank you, I like it too." Jane pretended to be complacent, "I know a lot, and today's performance is considered average."

"Hahahaha." Little Mr. Holmes was amused, "I believe what you said, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to try more of your skills." He suddenly said to Jane: "So we are friends, right?"

"Well... well, for the sake of your attitude is very honest." Jane pretended for a while.Then they both laughed.

Little Mr. Holmes pulled out his hand, straightened his collar solemnly, saluted Jane, and said, "Mycroft Holmes, please call me Mycroft."

Jane also replied, "Jane Bennet, please be sure to call me Jane."

After pretending this wave of coercion, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.Jane also discovered that under the serious appearance, there was a childlike side of Mr. Mycroft Holmes, which was really hard to see.

Little Mr. Holmes made a request for correspondence to Jane while the iron was hot, and Jane readily agreed. It would be great to have a pen pal in London. Jane also enthusiastically proposed whether to use a pseudonym for each other. After all, the two young men and women always communicate. What an inconvenience.

"Then I'll call Ms. Cubert. There's a Mr. Cubert in the office next door. I don't think it would be a surprise if he has a teenage daughter. M Cubert." Little Mr. Holmes was very pleased. It will be decided soon.

"Then I'll be called Mr. Watson." Jane blurted out, and then she was a little embarrassed, and accidentally...

"Watson?" Little Mr. Holmes nodded. "The more common the surname, the less likely it is to attract attention. That's it."

"I think so too." Jane admitted cheekily.

"I hope you are not ready to leave London so soon." Little Mr. Holmes sighed. "In fact, there are many interesting places in London." He blinked slyly. "You must be interested." He thought I was quite accurate in my own judgment, and Miss Bennet was definitely in the same category as him.

"I'm really going home soon." Jane was unmoved, "I've been in London for almost a month, and it's shameful not to go back."

"What a pity, I hoped to have the opportunity to introduce my lovely brother to you." Mr. Holmes made a regretful expression, "He is studying in a boarding school, and he rarely comes back, and you don't know when Only then can I come to London again." This is the truth. "Maybe I can find a chance to go to your place?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Jane said honestly, if Mr. Holmes went to see her, it would be even more shocking... Wait, he just said "lovely brother"?It's not who she thought it was!Didn't she miss a great opportunity?

Jane: (((p(≥□≤)q)))

"Ah, we must go back to the house," said young Mr. Holmes suddenly.So they went to the door.As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Holmes and his wife preparing to say goodbye.It is not so much that Mr. Holmes' timing is just right, it is better to say that the precision is terrifying.

After a warm farewell from the Gardners, the Holmes family rides in the carriage.

"It's more interesting than expected." Mrs. Holmes changed her dignified style, and sat on the seat, leaning against Mr. Holmes.Holmes and his son looked accustomed to it, and they obviously knew her daily painting style for a long time.

"That lady is not a smart person. If she wants to, I can recommend a tutor to her." Mrs. Holmes didn't particularly care about it, and she wouldn't have too much communication in the future anyway.

"Mr. Gardner's brain is still easy to use. If he can maintain this state, he may have better development in ten years." Mr. Holmes conservatively estimated.

Look at my parents, they really know how to pretend.Listening to his parents' unscrupulous evaluation of the Gardners, little Mr. Holmes's heart did not fluctuate.If not in front of recognized people, the Holmes couple would never show another face, even in front of their own son.

So... when will Xiali find out?Little Mr. Holmes once again complained about his younger brother who lives in the school. When Xiali came back last time, he complained in front of him that there are too few smart people in this world, and his parents always can't understand what he said... Xiali, a little idiot, didn't think about it either. , It may be an accident to give birth to one smart person, but can a couple who give birth to two smart people be stupid?

I really don't understand what's the fun in parents pretending to be stupid?

Ah, I really want to see Xiali's expression when he finds out the truth~O(∩_∩)O

The author has something to say: Mrs. Holmes: Ah?~What a cute little girl~The craftsmanship is amazing~ah~? (Hisso's tone is chaotic) I really want to take her home~

Mr. Holmes: Please speak humanly, madam.

Mycroft: My parents are really good at acting!
