[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Ben squeezed his fingers hard, just now he was sweating because of the embarrassment of wanting to borrow money, but now it is panic.Ben was not an idiot at all, but he was a little swollen and lacked consideration in doing things. His greed made him only think about himself selfishly, but he didn't think too much about what Jane would do when he found out.

"I didn't! I, I'm sorry, Miss Bennet. But I really didn't think about it that way." Only then did Ben realize how serious the problem was. Maybe he and Anna would be fired and kicked out of the store because of it. .What would happen if he lost his job? Ben had seen a lot from his brown bread customers in the past fortnight.

Jane stretched out her hand, "Bring it."

Ben looked confused, not knowing what Jane was talking about.

Jane reminded him, "The key to the warehouse."

Ben's heart jumped to his throat and fell back to the same place, and jumped to his throat again. His hand squeezed the brass key hard, as if it was going to draw blood.

"Miss Bennet, Miss Bennet," murmured Ben, his lips trembling and his eyes beseeching.He tried to see softness and kindness from Jane's face, but it was a pity that Jane's eyes did not waver.

Ben knew he had lost the all-important trust from Jane.

Ben Ben, who is a disabled person, knows better than anyone how important it is to gain the trust of the master.

When he was still in Longborn, he worked hard and diligently, even if he got less money, he did not complain. Because of his health, he could only do short-term work, and no one was willing to hire him to work for a long time.

But even so, the people who hired him always looked at him suspiciously. People in the village thought that a disabled poor man was either a thief or a villain. Otherwise, why would he survive?

What was he thinking at that time?How good would it be if someone believed in themselves for once?If this is the case, I will never let down this trust...

But when he really got this trust, what did he do?

Ben hated himself from the bottom of his heart, why would he do such a stupid thing just because he was greedy for the money?

Maybe Miss Bennet is right. In fact, from the very beginning, he felt that the little girl who was not even an adult could easily change his life, entrust her trust, and pass her skills on to Anna. She was deceitful and kind. .

But what he didn't expect was that what can be easily given can be easily taken back, and the Miss Bennet whom he despised... When is he qualified to despise others?

Ben put the key on the table with trembling hands, and watched as Jane pocketed the key he had been so proud of.

At this time, Jane looked a little ruthless, not the easy-talking way before.

"What do you want to do, Ben Harbison? Do you want to leave, or do you want to stay?"

Ben raised his head and looked at Jane expectantly, "But, is it possible? Me, Anna and I can stay? Continue to work?"

"Yes, but you have to pay the price." Jane still said with a cold face, as if these decisions related to the future of Ben and his wife were not worth mentioning in front of her.

In the end, Ben got a sum of money from Jane. This time, Jane no longer provided daily necessities for free. She asked Ben to give the exact amount of money needed for shopping, and then lent the money to Ben at the market interest rate... This made Ben realize again. Realizing how stupid what he had done, he owed a huge debt for the money of a few black bread.

Jane bought a small stove for Ben and Anna to boil water before, and it can keep warm and cook soup in winter. If they want to eat a few desserts in the store, Jane didn't care.

But now it doesn't work anymore, Jane has strengthened management, and all desserts are counted, unless Jane allows, Ben and Anna can no longer eat as much as they used to.

Jane no longer provided consumables such as coal to Ben and Anna for free, and she seemed to become stingy all of a sudden.

If he didn't want to spend money, he could only go outside to pick up cinders in the dark. He was originally bad in his legs and feet, but he couldn't survive the night without a fire in such a cold day.

In Jane's words, people sometimes give too much and don't know how to be grateful. Only when they lose, do they know what they have had.

And Ben finally understands that it doesn't matter what he thinks, because only Miss Jane Bennet decides his fate.

Life suddenly became sad. Ben and Anna didn't blame Jane. It was their own fault that caused the current result.On the contrary, the two of them worked harder, and even worked harder than before. They only hoped to regain the trust and reuse of Jane's boss Bennett, at least they would not be driven away.

Just as Jane thought, she has been working in the kitchen with Anna, which will inevitably give Ben and Anna the wrong impression that Jane is not much different from them, and it is actually not good for both of them to continue like this.

Now Jane puts away the candy and waves the big stick, which makes Ben and Anna realize the difference in identity and status between them and Jane, and awes her. On the contrary, this "labour-management relationship" can be put on the right track. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Jane knew very well that she was indeed not a serious lady.No matter what age, country, race, or skin color, human beings seem to use "no work" to show their unique status and class.

A lady in the upper class can command a servant to make a snack in the kitchen, which is already a virtue worth mentioning, but there are only a few people like Jane who can make snacks and open a shop.Jane didn't care, and even felt that she could contribute.

People near Antler Street found that the owner of the Hogwarts coffee shop had returned, and before it even opened, the shop gave off an annoying aroma again, making it impossible to remain indifferent.

However, the door of Hogwarts has not been opened for a long time, new and old customers are looking in, but the curtains firmly keep the secret inside.Some people heard the sound of "boom, bang" beating inside... Isn't this a dessert shop?It has only been opened for a few months and then renovated?

Suddenly, at some point, people discovered that there was an additional notice on the gate of Hogwarts, the notice is as follows.

"Dear customers, our store launches 'Lady'sDay' every Wednesday to serve all ladies wholeheartedly. At that time, gentlemen please stop. Thank you for your understanding."

Why?

Why?

I don't understand!

Many people who come and go feel very strange when they see this announcement. They have only heard of clubs where women are restricted, but never heard of dessert shops where men are restricted. The owner of this shop cannot be Shi Lezhi, right?

"Is this really okay, Miss Bennet?" Ben was very disturbed in his heart. He had made up his mind to behave well, but Miss Bennet would come up with "Lady's Day ", and also asked Anna to work as a clerk at the front desk every Wednesday, and let him help in the kitchen.

Helping in the kitchen was fine, but Ben was worried that Anna, who could not read or speak, would be bullied in the store.

"Anna is not as useless as you think. Isn't she able to go grocery shopping by herself now? And she has also learned how to be a shop assistant. There is only one day a week. The customers are all ladies, so there will be no big problems." Jane thought of many possible situations. The biggest problem was that Anna seldom communicated with others. She was introverted and timid. However, Anna was not timid. What she lacked was the courage to take the first step.

"I want to try." Anna gestured to her husband and "said".

Anna knew what happened before, and she didn't think there was anything wrong after listening to Ben's words before, but Jane's rage made her understand the seriousness of the matter.Because Jane gave her the flour, now Anna always feels guilty towards Jane. She has already violated Jane's intention once, and she doesn't want to let her down again.

Ben's thoughts are similar to Anna's, except that he is used to putting Anna behind him, and now he wants Anna to stand at the front... Ben is worried like an old hen, and tries his best to stuff his experience as a shop assistant into Anna's mind .

Next to the "Lady's Day" announcement is a notice about the opening three days later. Everyone counted, oh, it happened to be Sunday.If you have time on the rest day, you can come and buy some snacks, it's not bad.

There are not a few people who think this way. When Ben opened the door for business, he found someone wandering around and didn’t care. When he just put up today’s sign and someone rushed to buy it, he still thought it was early today, but When he was busy for a while and found that there was already a long queue at the door, he had no more energy to think about other things other than admiring his boss's foresight again.

Today will be very busy, and Jane has expected it, because she spent a shilling in advance to place a small advertisement in the "Cambridge Times". In fact, the effect is much better than she thought. Prepare.

The shelf life of winter desserts is longer than other times. Jane took her younger brothers (sisters) to spend two days preparing a large number of desserts, and bought a batch of boxes to pack some of them first, which can save a lot of time.

The round flat iron box contains buttery cookies that are crispy at the entrance, the long iron box contains chewy baguettes, and the tubular box made of hard paper contains sandwich biscuits...

Licorice candies, mint candies, fruit candies, and hawthorn candies are wrapped in a bundle of ten sticks in paper, with only one third exposed so that people can see what kind of candy they are.The milk candy, almond candy, pine nut candy made one by one... are all packed in a cardboard box, and the color of each box is different, making it difficult to choose.The most expensive sweets are the fudge in a double box, with chunks of rose-scented Turkish delight and smaller pieces of orange-flavored French fruit fudge with bright colors and sweet flavors.

There are all kinds of cakes and breads on the counter. These don’t need to be weighed, they are measured according to individual quantities, so they don’t need to be packaged in advance, and it’s also convenient for everyone to intuitively choose the varieties to buy.

The best sellers at Hogwarts are chiffon cake rolls, sponge cakes and cheesecakes.For these basic cakes, customers can pour jam, syrup, cream and cocoa on them according to their preferences when they buy them home.

In addition to several basic cakes, Jane has also introduced new sugary maple nut cakes and apple cakes.These cakes are both strong and large, each weighing a full two pounds, and they are bought in half at a time.The price is not cheap, but the taste can definitely pass the test. Although it is a new cake, it is still sold out before noon.

The author has something to say: Jane: I don't want to change the world, I just seize the moment when the world changes.
