Chapter 602: Welcome to the Era of Gentlemen and Ladies

Chapter 2. Welcome to the age of gentlemen and ladies

Before being pulled into the infinite space by the unscrupulous main god system, the original bodies of Jane and Elizabeth were selling a tablet computer specially developed for the elderly to three old ladies in a nursing home, which claimed to be able to play a series of puzzles. The method of playing games to prevent Alzheimer's disease... However, when they demonstrated in front of the three old ladies, what popped up on the screen was not the game startup screen, but a strange dialog box:

"...Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to really...live? YES/NO"

Next, following a curious young female office worker, she clicked YES for a while, and the two professional women and three retired old ladies instantly traveled through their souls and came to England at the end of the eighteenth century, becoming " The five Bennet sisters in Pride and Prejudice...

In addition, there are two seniors who have become Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and claim to be the leaders of their strange combination.

After experiencing the initial madness and confusion, the five newcomers finally calmed down, and roughly figured out the following reality:

First of all, they have to say goodbye to the mediocre and peaceful life in the past, and step into an infinite space full of killing and death;

Secondly, the first episode they entered is the team battle episode, where they will start a bloody and brutal fight with another team;

Thirdly, the great fortune among misfortunes, although they unfortunately fell into this cruel Colosseum, the first story they entered was the British female writer Jane in the early [-]th century.The world of romance novels written by Austin - "Pride and Prejudice", there is basically no danger before the team battle begins.

Moreover, it is still a year before the plot of "Pride and Prejudice" begins, and their opponent team will not come until nearly a year later, when the plot begins for a period of time: that is to say, even if these guys rush to the street If you can’t survive the first episode, then you should be able to live on for a longer period of time and enjoy the “authentic British style” before you die...

Fourth, as a bonus of traveling to "Pride and Prejudice", they have all turned into beautiful European-style girls who are eye-catching!

——According to the description in "Pride and Prejudice", the five Bennet sisters are all famous for their beauty.Even the most mediocre third daughter, Mary, can be called handsome (after all, they are played by first-class actresses with good looks in the movies), and they can do it.Then, at the end of the eighteenth century, the British aesthetics were roughly similar to modern Chinese society.At least the British beauties at that time were absolutely beautiful in front of modern Chinese.Whether eighteenth-century Britons could accept modern non-mainstream hot girls...that's another matter.

Seeing that the battle and fighting have not yet started, but they have received such a big benefit, Jane and Elizabeth both relaxed, thinking that it is easy to be at ease when it comes, and let's appreciate the beautiful new body first... for a while I actually forgot those three "sisters"...

So, the two female traversers walked around the house, and finally found the three old ladies in maiden skins on the small balcony on the second floor, Mary, Kitty and Lydia.At this time, they were wearing nightcaps, each holding a glass filled with cold water, squinting their eyes and sitting on a chair, lazily basking in the sun... They really looked like old people.However, the sun at three or four o'clock in the afternoon in autumn is not scorching, and it shines warmly on the skin. It really makes people want to find a comfortable open space, lie down and take a nap like that without doing anything.

I have to admit that although Jane and Elizabeth have changed from ugly ducklings to white swans, their three "sisters" are not bad in appearance now.Especially the youngest two "sisters" Kitty and Lydia, I saw some baby fat on their delicate and beautiful cheeks, a pair of big blue-gray eyes shining under the brim of their hats, and their delicate noses were slightly Tilting up, adding a touch of playfulness to these two beautiful faces, the brim of the nightcap that looked a little too big revealed a few strands of golden hair, which looked extraordinarily gorgeous under the afternoon sun.

Generally speaking, their appearance is precociously glamorous, with a hint of frivolous cuteness.In the conservative 21th century, it may be regarded as a vulgar and dissolute appearance by some people who say that grapes are sour, but if it is placed in the materialistic [-]st century, it is definitely first-class. Even if she is going to participate in the Miss World beauty pageant, it is probably more than enough.

Then, the little sister Lydia, who is 14 years old in appearance and 79 years old in soul, noticed the noise behind her, opened her eyes, and complained to the two "sisters": "...I said the two big sisters Sister, this room seems to us to be quite rich, but after searching around, there is neither tea nor thermos, and I can't even drink hot water, I can only drink cold water... This is how gringos live Is it a day?"

——As long as these three old ladies in girlish skins open their mouths, the dreamy style of British ladies will be completely destroyed... Although relying on the help of the "Main God System", they have already learned their skills without a teacher. I have mastered fluent English, but I am still more accustomed to speaking my native dialect...

In terms of physical age, Lydia is 14 years old, Kitty is 15 years old, Mary, Elizabeth is 20 years old, and Jane is 22 years old;

In terms of soul age, Lydia is 79 years old, Kitty is 78 years old, Mary is 75 years old, Elizabeth is 29 years old, and Jane is 28 years old;

It is conceivable that this is no longer a cute contrast that can make people's eyes shine, but a contrast that makes people completely insane.

In short, this strange and wonderful feeling really made Jane and Elizabeth want to scratch the wall or throw themselves on the ground.

"...Please! Although your average age is more than twice our age, please be sure to call us sister! We are older than you here!"

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and tried her best to look like a "sister and lord", but faced with three [-]-year-old ladies in girlish skins, she still felt a little guilty, and finally had no choice but to give up. "...about the tea... we can only talk about it later, I think at least you can buy it in London. It's almost time for dinner, how about going down for a bowl of hot soup first?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Thanks to the explosion of Internet knowledge in the 21st century, even ordinary Chinese female white-collar workers have heard of dark British cuisine.

But on the other hand, since everyone has more or less eaten Western food a few times, they feel that this may be an exaggerated rumor.

Then, here, they discovered the huge difference between some domestically produced Western-style meals and authentic products of Western origin.

Well, especially when this Western-origin genuine product is still an antique from 200 years ago...

"...This bread...Damn it! It's so hard that a mouse can grind its teeth! You can't even break it, and you have to cut it with a knife... Well, it is really crunchy when you bite it, and the taste is also terrible. Although it looks white, why does it feel like a Russian Heliba?"

——When Elizabeth picked up a loaf of bread casually and wanted to break a piece into her mouth, she was surprised to find that she couldn't break it at all.She "sawed" back and forth with a table knife that was obviously too blunt for a long time before she got a small piece of this baguette. It tasted like eating a biscuit, crunchy and slightly The slightly sour taste, in short, is completely different from the bread eaten in modern China.

But this is the authentic product that Westerners eat, and the bread that modern Chinese often eat is actually an improved version of Japanese and Hong Kong people. It is characterized by adding a lot of eggs, milk and sugar, and sometimes cream, Ghee makes it very fluffy and sweet.In foreign countries, it is already in the category of dim sum bread.The dinner bread popular in the West and Europe is actually a normal-shaped version of the hard French baguette, which usually requires a knife and fork to cut it off.As for the white bread eaten by British squires in the [-]th century...it seems to be harder than modern French baguettes...

Moreover, this is the white bread eaten by the upper-class rich people. If it is replaced by the black bread eaten by the lower-class people, it is simply pig food in the eyes of modern Chinese.

Of course, no matter how hard the bread was, it was not strong enough to compress biscuits, and it seemed that the experienced Mr. and Mrs. Bennet—or two senior people—were also using actions at the table to give A countermeasure was found: soak the hard bread in the hot thick soup, and wait until it softens before eating.There is also a way to soak bread in beer, Europeans have been doing this since the Middle Ages (the Romans soaked bread in olive oil earlier), but considering that it is October, the staple food seems to be still It's better to eat hot...

Although after soaking the bread in the hot soup to "soften" it, it will not be too hard to chew, but Mary, Kitty and Lydia, as the elderly, at least "psychologically elderly", still I am used to eating softer things... Fortunately, there is a large pot of stewed potatoes in butter sprinkled with minced basil leaves on the table, which is relatively similar to the taste of modern Chinese, so the three of them regard it as a staple food instead bread.

Apart from the hard bread, the rest of the dishes were okay: cheeses, sausages, bisques, stewed potatoes, mixed vegetables, slices of baked ham slicked with oil, and buttery biscuits for dessert.There is no such thing as the notorious "Looking at the Stars" pie, nor the overly greasy and fishy Scottish haggis pudding...Although there is no salt or seasoning in the vegetables or soup, you need to sprinkle salt and pepper yourself , The vegetables are even raw, which makes everyone slightly criticized and unaccustomed, and the method is not very suitable for the Chinese people's appetite, but it seems that it is not so bad that people can't eat it-at this time, they are not still eating. Know the true horror of this dark cuisine country...

What really made them feel a little bit unbearable was that the British were so good at drinking!Beer and wine are served with even ordinary family dinners, even for ladies.And most of the Chinese people, unless they are alcoholics who like to drink things in the glass, most of them only drink a few glasses during festivals, and generally don’t drink at every dinner...

As for other drinks, the tea in Bennet's house has been drunk for a long time, but because the owner is not too keen.Never thought to buy it again.There is some coffee, but right now there is no convenient instant coffee, not even ready-made coffee powder. If you want to drink coffee, you have to temporarily grind the whole coffee beans into powder, add water and cook slowly, there is not one or two Hours of tossing, don't even think about drinking it into your mouth.

So, after thinking about it, Elizabeth ordered her to bring a jug of milk under the surprised eyes of the maid.

Then, after taking a sip, she sprayed the milk out of her mouth, "...Why does this milk smell fishy? Is it still cold?"

"...Uh, the fresh milk just squeezed out this morning tastes like this, miss."

The maid replied in bewilderment, "...if you heat it, the taste of the milk will change and it won't be as fresh. Don't you mind?"

—milk from the cow just this morning?Well, that's really a bit too fresh, my sister is not a Japanese who likes to drink blood and eat sashimi... Elizabeth pouted: "...don't worry about it so much, put it on the stove and heat it up, add more sugar before serving Come up!"

After a while, a pot of hot sweet milk was brought up, which effectively soothed the taste buds of the ladies who had been poisoned by dark cooking, and made the five Bennet sisters very satisfied...but they didn't know that at the same time, They have begun to suffer from mild heavy metal poisoning...

Because there were cooks and maids waiting nearby, in order to prevent leaking of secrets, the "Bennet family" who had just collectively changed their souls did not say anything at the table, but ate in silence.It also made the servants who didn't know why tremble a little... After the unpalatable dinner was over and the cook and maid were dismissed, Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet, or became Bennet Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's seniors called their freshly baked five sisters into the study and announced a new decision:

"...In the past half day, you must have figured out the current situation! And we also used this time to survey the terrain near Longbourn Village. Next, we plan to go to London tomorrow For reconnaissance, do you stay or go with you?"

The next day, the seven members of the Bennet family boarded an extremely crowded private carriage, and embarked on a journey to London unsteadily...
