[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 110 Two

While Sherlock was tinkering with ice, Jenny was not idle. She thought that it would not be good to eat meat all the time in such a hot day, so she simply made some pastries to make everyone refreshed.

There may be many inconveniences in the countryside, but there are many fresh foods in the food.Jenny exchanged some homemade candies for a few baskets of berries and mushrooms from the children in the village. Summer berries may be a little sour, but they are the best for making jam.Jenny asked Fantine to take Mrs. Gwen to make some rice noodles and fillings, preparing to make some unique snacks.

Carrots, spinach, and tomatoes are boiled to make juice and divided into clear rice and flour rice to make batter. Carrots make yellow pulp, spinach is green pulp, tomato is red pulp, and there is white flour pulp without color.

There is no steamer in the country, so Jenny had to find a large soup pot and fill it with water instead of a steamer, put the iron plate from the oven in the soup pot, and spread gauze on it.When the water boiled, she stirred the noodle paste, scooped out a quarter of the white paste, shook it flat, and steamed it for 5 minutes, then scooped a quarter of the red paste, shook it flat, steamed it for another 5 minutes, and then scooped a quarter of it Shake the green slurry, steam for 5 minutes, and finally scoop the yellow slurry, shake it flat, and steam for 5 minutes, it is done.

Fantine and Mrs. Gwynn helped Jenny take out the iron plate, and now the ice cubes sent by Bruce Willy came into play. It was chopped into pieces, and the iron plate cooled completely after a while.Jenny poured out the pastry, and the color was very beautiful, one layer of white, one red, one green, one yellow, but the white side was printed with fine gauze marks, and the yellow side was not very smooth.

"It seems that the first time I did it was not very good." Jenny took a knife and cut a small piece, because there was no sugar or salt, it tasted a little sour, it was the sourness of tomatoes, and A little bit of carrot and spinach, if it weren't for the tip of Jenny's tongue, she wouldn't be able to taste it.

"Try some honey and cream, as well as salt and chili sauce." Jenny directed Fantine and Mrs. Gwen to bring several seasonings to try, and finally Fantine liked the chili sauce with salt, and Gwen Mrs. Wen likes to eat honey dipped in honey.

"Then get some more dipping sauces." Jenny thinks this is always a good solution.

Jenny handed this to Fantine to make, and there is no need for gauze, as long as it is well cooled, it can be shoveled off the iron plate with a little force, so that there will be no gauze marks.Fantine figured out the trick after only making it once. The color of the cake was uniform and smooth. After it was done, it was cut into a diamond shape, and it looked good on a plate when it was ready to be eaten.

On the other hand, Jenny asked Mrs. Gwynn to make some salty mashed potatoes and sweet pumpkin mash, add plain noodles, noodles and rice, and make dough skins, stuffed with butter and jam, and rolled into ping-pong ball-sized ones. Balls, fried in oil until golden brown.

After these two things were done, Jenny washed some strawberries, mixed the rice flour, rice flour and sugar into the batter and steamed it in the pot for 10 minutes to make a sticky dough.Jenny fried some noodles in a dry pan, wrapped the strawberries with the leftover pumpkin puree just now, wrapped them with dough, rolled them in the fried noodles, and put them on a plate to eat Yes, if you think it's not sweet enough, you can dip it in sugar rice and eat it separately.Cut it open when eating, and you can just see half a strawberry inside, which is unique and interesting.

Jenny was creative, Fantine was nimble, and Mrs. Gwen was strong. The three of them worked together and made a lot of pastries in no time.Mrs. Gwen has learned a lot. It turns out that noodles, rice and fruits can be eaten like this. She is indeed from London.

Mrs. Gwen: The city can play!

Because Bruce Willie sent a post in the afternoon saying that he would come for lunch tomorrow, Jenny decided to change the menu and make a brine chicken (actually, the seasoning is not enough) as the main course, and make... gnocchi soup as an appetizer (what? Thinking about it?), then make mushroom stuffed meat and fried potatoes, and by the way, fried corn and peas, and strawberry balls for dessert.

Except for the salted chicken, which needs to be marinated overnight, all other Fantines have been cooked, and Jenny just confessed and left it alone... She is here to play, not to cook, otherwise what is the difference with 221b ?

"Ahahahaha..." Jenny almost died laughing.Although Bruce Willie was coming at noon, the three of Jenny and the others still went fishing early in the morning.

Can you tell her what's going on now?The two smartest men in the world looked like two brats in front of her eyes—the ones without a brain—using their highest IQ to complain to each other: they chose the same fishing rod material, the same bait, and the same fishing rod. at the same fishing spot, cast out the same length of fishing line, and then... their fishing lines were entangled together!

"My God, Xiali, I told you since you were seven years old, don't follow me, don't follow me, why don't you always listen?"

"Are you kidding, Mycroft, don't put gold on your face, that would be a waste. I just chose the best location based on reasoning, and it is you who have been following me!"

The two big boys were tugging at the fishing line while bickering, but the place they were looking at at the same time happened to be a corner, where the current was fast and the water plants were dense.The fishing line of the two was washed by the current, and no matter how careful their thinking was, they could not predict its direction, so it was not surprising that the two lines were entangled in this way.

I don't know where the fishhook is hooked. In short, the current situation is that no one can separate the fishing line, and there is no way to pull it up.

"Ah, pull, hold me," Mycroft yelled suddenly, and he could be seen sliding slowly into the river, and even Sherlock grabbed one of his hands and couldn't stop it, Mycroft Foot stopped with one last foot in the mud beside the river... and now he and Sherlock were both soaked.

Jenny stood aside with no intention of helping, she was already out of breath from laughing.

The final result was that for an hour, the two big boys were only focused on bickering, and the fish was nowhere to be seen. Both of them almost fell into the river. Where did you go...

There is no way to catch this fish!

Even on the way back, the Holmes brothers were still yelling at each other, and Jenny was lucky enough to learn how smart people fight... Seriously, it took a lot of brains.

When Bruce Willie stood proudly at the door of "Sherlock Holmes Manor" again and was about to knock on the door, the door opened by itself.Mycroft and Sherlock stood inside the door, perfectly showing their welcoming state.

No matter how you look at it, why is it wrong...

Bruce Willie quickly went through his attire in his mind, oh, no problem, that seems to be the problem of Sherlock Holmes.

"Hello, Felix." With no more people left, Jenny resumed the address she used in 221b. When they were in a good mood, they would occasionally call each other this way.

"Hi, dear Jenny." Bruce Willie really wanted to give a cheek-to-cheek gift, although it didn't fit the gift.

Sherlock: "..." My wife and a playboy call each other Christian names... What's going on?Confused.

Lunch was still very satisfying to Bruce Willie, and sometimes he wondered why Jenny was so different, so good at what she was good at.Sometimes he even feels pity: why isn't Jenny/Hudson an aristocrat?

After the meal, the men usually go to the special smoking room to smoke a cigarette and chat.But today it was Bruce Willie who offered to invite the two Holmes to "smoke a cigarette" together. Jenny knew that he must have something to talk to the Holmes brothers but didn't want others to know, that's why he "sick lady" incident" and had the cheek to eat... well, maybe the meal was real.

While the men were talking about important matters, Jenny went to take a nap. When she woke up, she found that it was raining outside, and three men were sitting in the living room playing cards: one was expressionless, one was sad, and the other was smiling.

Jenny: ...playing cards?What cards do the three play?

Jenny was about to walk over, but Bruce Willy threw the cards and stood up when he saw Jenny.Mycroft also took the opportunity to throw the cards in his hand back on the table, and deliberately threw them all over the place.Only Sherlock collected the cards leisurely.

Bruce didn't see the lawsuit behind, he said to Jenny: "Oh, dear Mrs. Hudson." Then he warmly hugged Jenny who looked blank, "I think the weather should be fine tomorrow, you don't mind Shall I bother you again tomorrow?"

Jenny: "Oh, uh..."

Bruce Willie: "Great, it's a deal."

Before Jenny could speak, Bruce Willy ran away in the rain.

Jenny: So...what the hell happened when you were playing poker?

Jenny looked at Brother Holmes.

Mycroft: "Oh, I'm going to take a break. Sometimes I don't want to admit my age. I didn't expect that I would be so tired after just playing for a while."

With that, Mycroft also ran upstairs.

Jenny stared straight at Sherlock and asked, "What the hell happened?" I seem to have just taken a nap, why do I feel that I am out of date?

"It's nothing." Sherlock packed up the cards, and stepped forward to hold Jenny's hand, "We just played cards, a small bet for fun."

"So he's coming tomorrow?" Jenny thought Bruce Willie was in a good mood, right?There is not enough meat.

"I think... he was just talking." Sherlock said firmly.

Jenny thought about it and thought it made sense, but she also had a premonition that the vacation was about to end.

The next day Bruce Willie really found an excuse not to come, and Jenny didn't feel regretful.Sherlock did not say that she would go back to London, and Jenny still relaxes and enjoys the country life every day... It is said that buying fresh vegetables in the countryside is really cheap, but the variety is a little less.Jenny managed to collect some mushrooms and wild vegetables, dried them and prepared to take them back to London.Instead, Mycroft went back to London by himself—five days away was probably his limit. Mycroft felt that the vacation of his life was over, and he probably wouldn't leave London again in the days to come.

The day after Mycroft leaves, Sherlock tells Jenny that he needs to go to France.

"Oh, um, something to do with Bruce Willy's last visit, right?" Jenny felt as if that second boot had finally dropped.

"I can't deny it," Sherlock said.

"Well, when?" Jenny asked.

"I bought you a train ticket for noon tomorrow." Sherlock did not answer this question directly, but took out two second-class train tickets and handed them to Jenny.

Jenny took it and took a look. It was the bus at [-]:[-] noon tomorrow. "It seems that you have already thought about it." Jenny put the ticket in her pocket.She wanted to ask how long he was going, but in the end she didn't ask. For some reason, Jenny didn't feel very good.

There is no carriage in the town to go to London, so Jenny and the others can only take a carriage to the town first, and then take the train back to London-in fact, it is more troublesome than going back to London directly by carriage.

When I came here, I only brought a suitcase with me, but when I went back, I had a lot of things.

Jenny sat drowsy on the train, which was supposed to be her lunch break.

Cosette suddenly said to Fantine: "Mother, I want to go to the bathroom."

"Okay, we..."

"I'll take her there. I just want to take a walk and wash my face." Jenny stuffed two handkerchiefs into her pocket.

"Please, Mrs. Hudson."
