[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Dwyer only accompanied Mrs. Wood to the Hogwarts kitchen during the renovation. She was full of curiosity about the work at Hogwarts. In her imagination, Miss Jane's daily work was probably to drink tea elegantly and conduct Ben and Anna were kneading dough or taking out delicious desserts from the oven. The air was filled with a sweet smell, and desserts were neatly placed on the counter.

emmm... Sometimes Miss Dwyer is very romantic in her heart.

However, imagination is just imagination, and the first job every day at Hogwarts is actually...cleaning.

At Jane's request, Dwyer rubbed the mud off the soles of his shoes on the stones in the kitchen doorway, and had to use a stiff brush to remove any loose mud from the sides and soles.After that, Jane gave Dwyer the spare turban and apron. She had to use the turban to wrap her hair firmly without leaking a trace, and then tied the apron.

At this time, you can start cleaning.

Ben and Anna had cleaned the tabletops, floors, counters and utensils in the store and kitchen after closing the previous day, but they still had to start the day with dusting, looking at the utensils, and checking for signs of rats...that's why The reason why Jane allowed Anna to keep cats, but cats are not allowed in the kitchen during business hours.

After that, the ingredients to be used today are moved from the warehouse to the kitchen, such as flour, oil, sugar, butter, cream, eggs, ham, sausage... At this time, the delivery shop assistants will bring fresh milk, fruits, and vegetables.

No wonder it was so early, Dwyer thought.

After simply finishing the work of washing fruits and vegetables, and before directly touching the ingredients, Jane asked everyone to roll up their sleeves to their elbows, wash with soap up to their wrists, and use a small toothbrush to clean the gaps between their nails. clean.

"Oh my God, I've never washed like this in my life." Dwyer brushed his fingernails like Anna in amazement.

"Dear Dwyer, don't you know why Mrs. Wood assigned you to the beautiful bakery and not to the Irish bakery?" Jane joked, "Because you didn't know that Irishman would have fingernails. Mix something in the bread into the bread, and then you eat it."

"Okay, Miss Jane, you don't need to talk about it, I understand completely now." Dwyer felt sick to his stomach just thinking about it, and it would be better to talk about hygiene.This time she brushed more carefully.

Jane still prepared menus and recipes in advance, and she always wrote them down in advance and nailed them to a special piece of wood on the wall.Today Jane is going to make two deep-fried Chinese dim sum dishes... Fried Yuguo and Fried Sanzi.Because it is fast and simple, everyone was very tired yesterday, so I will not do too much trouble today.

Fried oil fruit is sweet, and eggs, milk, sugar and oil are added to the flour to make hard oil noodles, which can then be made into noodles or noodle blocks, and then molded into various shapes.

Because fried sanzi are noodle-shaped, Jane simply found a cup, covered it with a round shape, and pinched it horizontally and vertically to form a four-leaf clover shape.

Fried sanzi are salty, flour, oil, salt and eggs, and make dough, cut into jiaozi, roll the jiaozi into long strips, slowly shake and stretch, fold in half, shake and stretch again, and finally pull into thin slices ring noodles.

In order to ensure the specifications of the products, Jane customized a lot of molds before opening the store, some of which also measured the length.She found out the mold and ensured that each sanzi was twenty centimeters long, and the excess was cut off and remade into zizi.

The next step is to fry in the oil pan, fry until golden, remove and filter the oil, and you can eat it when it is cold.

The British seem to have no resistance to fried things. Jane led everyone to make a lot of fried oil fruit and fried sanzi in a short time.

If it was in the past, Ben and Anna would never worry about not being able to taste it, but now it is different. Jane didn't say anything, and they really didn't think at all.Dwyer was still muttering in his heart, although Miss Jane was young, she was really good at managing people. The two shop assistants were in awe of her and were quite obedient.

Dwyer's cooking skills are mediocre, but she has a lot of strength. With her joining Jane, she decided to try a few things she hadn't done before.

"Dessert bread?" Dwyer hadn't heard of this, but she hadn't heard of it much. Anyway, Mrs. Wood said that she would do whatever Miss Jane asked her to do.

The bread that Europeans eat as "rice" is mainly fermented European bread made of oat flour and rye flour, that is, black bread.It is neither sweet nor salty and has a slightly sour taste. It is hard to tear and chew. This is an indispensable staple food for ordinary Europeans.And the white bread, butter bread, toast, ham bread, small meal buns that Hogwarts usually makes... in the eyes of Europeans, they are desserts.

Jane had Ben and Dwyer split up to make the bread and whipping cream, while Anna and she made the cookies while the other started lighting the oven.

Hogwarts' new tin box of butter cookies is by far the most expensive product sold, with two flavors of original and cocoa cookies costing five shillings for a box full.But even so, the dozen boxes of cookies made yesterday were sold out in the morning.

It sold so well that Jane couldn't help being tempted, so she planned to make some more today.

"You can start making coffee." Jane told Ben.

While Jane was making cookies, she instructed Ben and Anna to make bread. The dough was rolled into even long strips, cut into the same length, wrapped around a cone made of tinfoil and put into the oven.The shaped bread is like a pointed empty conch, with sweet cream and fruit pieces squeezed into it, which looks very unique.

The cookie liquid is squeezed into the shape of a flower and sent to the oven. The baked cookies exude an unusually strong sweet smell. They are placed on the rack to cool, and can only be put into the box after they are completely cooled. .

Dwyer at least whipped a bucket of cream, her arms were sore. "Miss Jane, I think you need to hire another small worker." Dwyer suggested.

"It's hard to find someone you trust." Jane sighed, it's not that she doesn't want to, it's just that her situation is special.

Jane made two more cakes and some puffs, just in time to use up all the cream.There are still some sweets left from yesterday, and Jane directs Ben to arrange the oil fruit and sanzi, conch bread and cookies on the counter respectively... The cake and puffs are still cooling on the shelf in the kitchen, and they will be delivered later... …and then adjusted the tables and chairs.

Open the door, today's Hogwarts officially opened for business.

Today Jane was going to make some bean paste. She asked Anna to wash the beans, and then put them in a high pot to cook.It will take time, just as the rest of the work is almost done.

"Take a break," Jane said to the other two women in the kitchen.

"Okay." Dwyer and Anna straightened up, wiped their hands, and found a stool to sit down.Anna poured coffee for everyone, and coffee and pastries were readily available.

"Thank you for coming to help today, Mary, you can go back later, I will pack some fried noodles (fried oil fruit and fried dumplings) and take them back to Mrs Wood to try, but don't let her eat too much, otherwise it will be easy Sore throat," Jane said to Dwyer.

"Huh? Is it enough to just do this? Is it enough?" Dwyer always felt as if he hadn't done much.

"It's okay, the rest of us, Anna and I, will definitely not have as many guests today as yesterday." Jane thought for a while and said, "You have to go back early to prepare lunch for Mrs. Wood."

"That's true." After all, Mrs. Wood was the employer, and Dwyer was well aware of that.

The three of them rested for a while and chatted. Dwyer took the opportunity to ask how to make fried fruit. She noticed just now that this is not difficult, and you can do it yourself... Probably >ω<

Today, as Jane said, there were not as many people as yesterday. Jane thinks that the main reason is that yesterday was Sunday and today is Monday.

The sun slowly climbed into the sky, clearing away the cold and fog in winter.It's still early, the main customer group of Hogwarts - the students of Cambridge University should be rushing to the classroom at this time, and the people coming and going on the road are people rushing to work or servants who are about to go shopping .

"Good morning, Mr. Carter, Mr. Myerson." Ben heard the doorbell ringing and looked up. It was the owner of the wood shop and glass shop next door.

These two have become loyal customers here since the Hogwarts store opened.The two old men open the shop at about the same time every day. After opening the shop in the morning, the two of them must come to buy two snacks to take away. One will have coffee for a while, and the other will be eaten with tea during the eleven o'clock break.If there are not many customers in the afternoon, the two shopkeepers will let their partners watch the shop, and they will meet at Hogwarts for afternoon tea.

"Are there any fried snacks today?" Carter stared at the two snacks with different shapes for a long time.

"Ah, this one is sweet, and this one is salty." Ben pointed to oil fruit and sanzi.

"I want one of these." Melson turned to look at the blackboard. "Conch bread with butter. One, no, two puffs."

"I want two kinds of fried snacks, one sweet and one salty." Carter also thought about it.

Ben wrapped up the snacks for both of them and handed them over.The old man Melson quickly reached out and stuffed one of Carter's scorpions into his mouth, "Oh, it's quite delicious."

"You old man, you actually ate the dim sum I bought, why don't you buy it yourself." Carter was about to die of anger, he didn't dare to use force with his hands, these two dim sums are very brittle, one accidentally broke into pieces Broken.

Melson was quite proud, "Boy Harbison, leave five of each kind of fried snacks for me, and I'll take them home to give the head of the family a taste at night."

Carter also hurriedly said: "I heard that the cookie yesterday was very delicious. Do you have any left? How much is a box?"

Ben pointed to the tin box on the shelf at the back. "It's sold out long ago. This is new today. Five shillings a box."

Carter clutched his chest and gasped, "Oh my God, it's so expensive." He said very painfully, "Leave me a box, I'll pick it up tonight."

"Okay." Ben took out what Carter and Melson had specified, wrapped them up and put them aside, and the two old men left satisfied.

After filling the shelves and counters, Jane decided to take advantage of today's sunny day to go for a walk with Dwyer. "I'll come back after a stroll." Jane told Anna, "If there are too many people, go up and replace Ben."

Anna nodded.

The author has something to say: Jane: Ah~ it’s time to add some new flavors <(￣︶￣)>
