Comprehensive Victoria's Secret

In fact, in June and July, there is no work that women must do. Generally, at this time, men may go to raise bees and do some activities such as threshing millet. However, Elizabeth and Antonio, a couple with no experience An Jia has lost a lot of energy.

When Yunshao was studying, there was more or less knowledge about agriculture in biology books and geography books, and the "Farm Book" also had a very comprehensive exposition, with the help of machinery and horsepower, although farm work was actually very tiring, but Not completely clueless, Elizabeth's biggest headache is washing clothes. She sweats a lot in summer, and the clothes that Antonio throws in the laundry basket are almost soaked in sweat—although Elizabeth is not too bad.

Summer is the season for sheep to molt, so the sheep that had just been locked in the sheepfold at home were brought out again, and sheep shearers were hired to help them shear sheep——Antonio took charge of this matter, Elizabeth got up Early in the morning, I got into the laundry room.

In the Victorian era, washing clothes was boiled, which sounds good, but when you are sweating like rain in the summer, you have to face steaming clothes. This is simply a job that makes Elizabeth collapse.

The stains on her treated clothes had softened, and Elizabeth tossed them together in the wash tub and began stirring the hot water with the laundry tamper.

"Oh, damn it." Even if there was no one else in the laundry room except herself, Elizabeth couldn't help sighing, her arms were sore, and it was the first time she understood why the ancient farming civilization had more children and more cuts. Tree, because it is too tiring to do this work by myself.

After Elizabeth stirred for more than an hour, the stains were basically removed, and she put the clothes on the machine to wring them dry.

Life on the farm has been fulfilling but not smooth. Finally, the Industrial Revolution gave her some confidence.

If this continues, she will probably miss the modern washing machine.

In 1874, American Bill Blakes invented the wooden hand washing machine.However, this obviously has not yet spread to the farms of the Empire on which the sun never sets, and Elizabeth still has to use primitive means to wash clothes.

Elizabeth's arms were sore, but despite this, Elizabeth was not halfway through the cleaning process, so she decided to give her hands a little relief. She decided to go and see how Antonio was doing with their shearing.

Elizabeth passed by and saw Antonio handling a great heap of wool, and two shearers, one turning the wheel and the other starting to shear off the sheep's head with a tool.

"Wow, that looks like a great job for you guys."

"Yes." Antonio glanced at her: "Come on, after the wool is processed, you will have enough wool."

"The two of us can't use up so much." All the wool of 22 sheep can squeeze them out of the small house.

"Liz, when the wool is sold, we can probably get some money in. Do you want to buy something?"

"Actually, I hope to buy a washing machine..." Elizabeth wiped off her sweat, "but the weather is too hot now. I don't want to deal with those wool for now, let's talk about it in autumn."

Elizabeth rubbed her shoulders while talking: "It's really exhausting to do laundry, and my shoulders are completely sore."

"Do you need my help?" Antonio asked, who had been shearing the sheep all day.

"No need, your work is much harder than mine." Elizabeth rubbed her shoulders: "It's just ordinary housework, and it won't really do anything to me."

"What are you going to get me for my birthday?"

"Birthday gift?" Elizabeth realized her negligence towards Antonio. She didn't even know the other party's birthday, which was an obvious dereliction of duty for his wife: "When?"

"On July 7, sometimes it will be celebrated with the Festa del Redentore (one of the most popular traditional festivals in Venice, Festa del Redentore)."

"I'll prepare it for you." Elizabeth tiptoed and kissed him, and her arms were no longer sore after a while: "Where did I put the fabric I asked you to buy for me?"

"Under the cupboard in the pantry, what are you going to do?"

"Actually, we only have summer clothes now." And these summer clothes are freshly made. For the convenience of elopement, the two of them didn't bring any clothes. "We need clothes and I'm going to make some."

Elizabeth had already prepared a sewing machine when she was making clothes, and this job could at least allow her to work a bit more temporarily and give her hands a rest.

Halfway through the cut, Elizabeth suddenly remembered that she was going to cook for the men who were in the house, so she put aside her sewing and got the bacon out of the pantry.

In the Victorian era, the most popular food was suet patch, which was cheap, delicious, and easy to make. As for the meat inside, Elizabeth used fresh meat that had not been marinated in the summer at home.

Taking a look at the food left in the cabinet, Elizabeth felt that if they still wanted to eat fresh food instead of pickled food, they would have to eat these things in these two days.

At this time, the ancient experience is especially effective. The men who have worked on the farm for a day are obviously not interested in the sweet and greasy tea with milk and sugar (although Elizabeth herself likes sweets), Elizabeth boils it with milk. Tea, and added some salt.

After putting suet pudding and milk tea on the stove, Elizabeth went to the tool room to prepare feed for the family's chickens, ducks, cattle and pigs.

The sheep were usually out on the grass, and besides they were shearing, so Elizabeth left them alone for the time being.

After feeding the poultry and livestock, Elizabeth calculated the time, and it was almost time to ask the men to eat.

Elizabeth went back to the house and prepared the plate and knife and fork, and went to call the men to eat.

"Hey, gentlemen, it's time to take a break and have lunch first. Sheep won't shed all their fur just because you have lunch."

Antonio rubbed his forehead: "But they will all escape."

Elizabeth smiled: "Come on, try the pudding."

Elizabeth is a girl who likes to eat very much. When she was in the Whitechapel area, she would change flowers every day and use all kinds of cheap ingredients bought from the market to make a variety of delicious things. However, she lived on the farm After that, suet pudding was what Antonio ate most—because she didn't have time for those things.

When he saw that although Elizabeth made milk tea, the food he got was still suet pudding, Antonio couldn't bear it and protested: "Liz, can you consider making some other food?"

"Huh?" In fact, every British person can make pudding. Elizabeth's dish is not new, but Antonio's protest was unexpected: "What's wrong?"

"I want a change."

"Okay." Elizabeth cut off a piece of pudding and put it in her mouth.

"Ms. Lancaster's workmanship is very good, and she is very beautiful." The shearer took a sip and tasted it. Among the aristocratic class, they would not praise the dishes by default. However, at this time, the lower class people did not have this concern, and Elizabeth was praised. Finally very happy: "Thank you."

What Elizabeth didn't know was that when she was shearing the sheep, the worker asked Antonio: "Hey, man, how did you marry such a beautiful girl?"

"As long as you are as handsome as me." Antonio replied casually: "She is very shy, don't scare her."

After the men had finished eating, Elizabeth packed up the tableware and went to wash it up.

In fact, as a woman in the family, she is generally not required to do too much heavy physical work. Instead, it is the daily housework that consumes the most energy. These boring and complicated tasks are enough to occupy Elizabeth's whole day. She washes the dishes, and then Continue to make shirts.

Elizabeth's ability to sneak and hide is quite bad, so Antonio is solely responsible for the two people who need to communicate with the outside world.

Doing the same thing every day was boring, Elizabeth asked Antonio to bring her some seeds, and she started a small vegetable garden in the yard.

Making shirts is not as easy as it sounds. Half of Elizabeth’s previous projects were just cut, and then she made clothes while studying the sewing machine.

She knew Antonio's size. After knowing his birthday, Elizabeth wanted to treat him better. She also planned to make a new set of clothes for Antonio before his birthday, and she had to put it on the agenda from now on.Staying up late at night will also delay Antonio's rest.

Elizabeth didn't have time to study too many recipes, but this time since Antonio proposed to improve the food, Elizabeth made roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, the most typical British national dish.

Elizabeth preheated the oven first, then sprinkled some salt and pepper on the roast, put the meat on the grill, and put the baking tray under the grill with the fat side up.

Next, make the pudding while the roast is in...

Take four ounces of flour, eggs, half a pint of milk and a quarter of a teaspoon of salt.

Put the flour and salt in a bowl, then leave a void in the middle.Beat the eggs and pour in the middle of the flour along with half of the milk and a quarter of a teaspoon of salt.Slowly mix this half of the milk and egg salt flour until it is full of bubbles.Stir in the rest of the milk.

It takes about two hours for the beef to be roasted. Elizabeth took advantage of this time to prepare his favorite cider for Antonio. The oven was occupied, so she cooked a pot of soup.

That night, Antonio asked her in surprise, "Liz, why did you think of making such a delicious thing today?"

Not necessarily delicious, but as rich as possible.Elizabeth wiped her sweat: "Well...Actually, because you want to improve the food, I made these food, do you like it?"

"like."
