Chapter 2: Welcome to the Age of Gentlemen and Ladies (Part II)

Before being pulled into infinite space by the unscrupulous main god system, Jane and Elizabeth's original bodies were in a nursing home, selling three old ladies a tablet specially developed for the elderly, claiming that it could be used to prevent Alzheimer's disease by playing a series of puzzle games...... However, when they presented in front of the three old ladies, instead of the game splash screen, a strange dialog box popped up:

“…… Want to understand the meaning of life? Want to ...... Alive? yes/no”

Then, as a curious young female office worker clicks yes for a while, two professional women and three retired ladies instantly travel to England at the end of the eighteenth century, becoming the Bennet sisters in Pride and Prejudice......

In addition, there are two veterans who have become Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, who claim to be the leaders of their strange combination. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

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

First, they had to say goodbye to their former mediocre and peaceful lives, stepping into an infinite space of killing and death;

Secondly, the first plot they entered was a team battle plot, and they were going to start a bloody and tragic battle with another team;

Third, the great luck in misfortune, although unfortunately fell into this cruel Colosseum, the first plot they entered was Jane, an English female writer in the early nineteenth century. Austen's world of romance novels, Pride and Prejudice, is largely undangerous until the team battle begins.

Moreover, it is still a year before the plot of "Pride and Prejudice" begins, and their rival team will not come until nearly a year later, when the plot has begun for a while: that is to say, even if these guys hit the streets to the point that they can't even survive the first plot, then they should be able to continue to live for a longer period of time and enjoy some "original British style" before they die......

Fourth, as a perk that comes with crossing over to "Pride and Prejudice", they have all become European-style beautiful girls who are enough to make people's eyes shine!

- According to the description in the play "Pride and Prejudice", the five Bennet sisters are all known for their beauty. Even the most mediocre third daughter, Mary, is also beautiful in appearance (after all, the people who play them in the movie are all high-class actresses with good shape), and they can handle it. Then, at the end of the eighteenth century, the aesthetics of England were roughly similar to those of modern Chinese society. At least the British beauties at that time were definitely good-looking in front of modern Chinese. As for whether the British in the eighteenth century could accept the modern non-mainstream babes...... That's another story.

Seeing that the battle and fighting had not yet begun, but he had received such a big benefit, Jane and Elizabeth both relaxed, feeling that they would be at peace if they had come, and they would first appreciate the new body that had become beautiful...... For a while, I forgot about the three "sisters......

So, the two female traversers walked around the house, and finally found the three old ladies dressed in girl's skin, Mary, Kitty and Lydia, on the small balcony on the second floor. At this time, they were wearing nightcaps, each holding a glass with cold water in it, squinting in their chairs, lazily basking in the sun...... Sure enough, it is very old-fashioned. However, the sun at three or four o'clock in the afternoon in autumn is not scorching, and the warm light on the skin really makes people want to find a comfortable open space, and just lie down and take a nap without doing anything.

I have to admit that Jane and Elizabeth have certainly changed from ugly ducklings to white swans, but their three "sisters" are also not bad in appearance today. Especially the two youngest "sisters" Kitty and Lydia, I saw that their delicate and beautiful cheeks still had some baby fat, a pair of big blue-gray eyes shining under the brim of the hat, and the delicate nose was slightly upturned, adding a touch of playfulness to these two beautiful faces, and the edge of the nightcap, which looked a little large, revealed a few strands of golden broken hair, which looked gorgeous and unusual in the afternoon sun.

In general, their countenances are in the midst of precocious beauty, with a slight hint of frivolous cuteness. In the conservative eighteenth century, some people who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour may think that they are foxy and debauched, but if they are placed in the materialistic twenty-first century, they are definitely a first-class "national goddess" style, even if they go to participate in the Miss World beauty pageant, it is estimated that it is more than enough.

Then, Lydia, the little sister who was fourteen years old in appearance and seventy-nine years old in soul, noticed the noise behind her, opened her eyes, and complained to the two "sisters"...... I said two big sisters, we look quite generous in this room, but how can we look around, but there is neither tea nor hot water bottles, and we can't even drink hot water, so we can only drink cold water...... Is this how gringos live? ”

As soon as these three old ladies dressed in girl's skins spoke, the dreamy style of the English lady was completely destroyed...... Although they have become fluent in English without a teacher, they are more accustomed to speaking the vernacular of their homeland with the help of the "main god system......

In terms of physical age, Lydia is fourteen years old, Kitty is fifteen, Mary is eighteen, Elizabeth is twenty, and Jane is twenty-two;

In terms of soul age, Lydia is seventy-nine years old, Kitty is seventy-eight, Mary is seventy-five, Elizabeth is twenty-nine, and Jane is twenty-eight;

It is conceivable that this is no longer a 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 hit the ground.

“…… Come on! Even though you're over twice as old as us, be sure to call us sister! We're bigger than you over here! ”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and tried her best to make a "sister" style, but in the face of the three septuagenarian ladies dressed in girl's skin, she still felt a little weak, and finally had to give up helplessly," ...... Tea thing...... I'll have to wait until later, I think at least in London you can buy it. Now that it's almost time for dinner, how about we go down and have a bowl of hot soup together? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

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

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

Then, here, they discovered the huge difference between some domestic Western meals and the authentic products of Western origin.

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

“…… This bread ...... Damn it! It's hard enough to grind the teeth of a mouse! I can't break it, and I have to cut it with a knife...... Well, it's crunchy when you bite into it, and the taste is also terrible, although it looks white, but how does it feel like a Russian black leba? ”

- When Elizabeth picked up a loaf of bread and tried to break off a piece and stuff it into her mouth, she was surprised to find that she couldn't break it at all. She used an obviously dull table knife to "saw" back and forth for a long time before she got a small piece of this rectangular bread, and it felt like nibbling on a biscuit, crunchy, with a slight sour taste, in short, it was completely different from the bread you eat in modern China.

But this is the genuine food eaten by Westerners, and the bread that modern Chinese often eat is actually a modified version of the Japanese and Hong Kongers, characterized by the addition of a lot of eggs, milk and sugar, and sometimes cream and ghee, making it very soft and sweet. In foreign countries, it is already considered a category of dim sum bread. The main bread popular in the West and Europe and the United States is a normal version of the French baguette that resembles the hard one, and it is usually cut with a knife and fork. As for the white bread eaten by the English squires in the eighteenth century...... It seems to be a bit stiffer than the modern French baguette......

And this is still the white bread eaten by the superior rich, if it is replaced by the black bread eaten by the inferior people, it is simply pig food in the eyes of modern Chinese.

Of course, no matter how hard the bread was, it was not firm enough to compress the biscuits, and Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, who seemed to be experienced, or the two veterans, also gave a solution at the table: soak the hard bread in a hot soup and wait until it was soft before eating. Another option is to soak bread in beer, which Europeans have been doing since the Middle Ages (earlier Romans soaked bread in olive oil), but given that it's October, it seems better to eat hot staples......

Although the bread is not nibbled after being soaked in the hot soup to "soften", Mary, Kitty, and Lydia are old people, or at least "psychologically old", and are used to eating softer things...... Fortunately, there was also a large pot of butter stewed potatoes sprinkled with chopped basil leaves on the table, which was relatively similar to the taste of modern Chinese, so the three of them used it as a staple food instead of bread.

Aside from the fact that the bread was too hard, the other dishes tasted just right: cheese, sausages, soups, potatoes, mixed vegetables, slices of roasted ham, and butter biscuits for dessert. There is no such thing as the legendary "stargazing" pie, nor the greasy and bloody Scottish lamb offal pudding...... Although there is no salt or condiment in either the vegetables or the soup, and they need to sprinkle salt and pepper with their own hands, and the vegetables are even raw, which makes everyone slightly criticized and unaccustomed to it, and the method is not quite in line with Chinese's appetite, it doesn't seem to be so bad that people can't eat it - at this time, they don't know the real horror of this dark culinary country......

What really makes them feel a little unbearable is that the British are so good at drinking! Even for a regular family dinner, beer and wine are served to accompany the meal, even for the ladies. And most Chinese, unless they are drunkards who are fond of what's in the cup, most of them only drink a few drinks during festivals, and generally don't drink every dinner......

As for the other drinks, Bennet's tea leaves have been drunk for a long time, but because the owner is not very enthusiastic. I didn't expect to buy it again. There is some coffee, but there is no convenient instant coffee at the moment, not even ready-made coffee powder, if you want to drink coffee, you have to take the whole coffee beans to temporarily grind into powder, plus water to boil slowly, without an hour or two of tossing, don't want to drink it in your mouth at all.

So, after thinking about it, Elizabeth, in the surprised look of the maid, told her to bring a jug of milk.

Then, after taking a sip, she squirted the milk out of her mouth, "...... Why does this milk smell fishy? Or is it cold? ”

“…… Well, that's what the fresh milk I just squeezed out this morning tastes like, miss. ”

The maid replied in confusion, "...... If it is heated, the taste of the milk will change and it will be less fresh. Don't you mind? ”

- The milk that was just milked from the cow this morning? Well, that's really a bit too fresh, and my sister is not a Japanese who likes to drink blood and eat sashimi...... Elizabeth pursed her lips: "...... Don't worry about it, put it on the stove and heat it up, add more sugar and serve it again! ”

After a while, a jug of hot, sweet milk was served, effectively soothing the taste buds of the ladies who had been poisoned by the dark cuisine, to the great satisfaction of the five Bennet sisters...... Unbeknownst to them, at the same time, they had begun to suffer from mild heavy metal poisoning......

Because there were still cooks and maids waiting by the side, in order to prevent the leakage of secrets, the "Bennet family", who had just collectively changed their souls, did not say anything at the dinner table, but ate silently in silence. It also made the unknown servants tremble a little...... It was only after the unpleasant supper had been over, and the cook and maid had been dismissed, that Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, or rather Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's veterans, summoned their freshly baked five sisters into their study, and announced a new decision:

“…… In the past half a day, you must have figured out the current situation! We also used this time to survey the terrain around the village of Longborne. Next, we're going to London tomorrow for a reconnaissance, do you want to stay, or do you want to go along? ”

The next day, the Bennet family of seven boarded a crowded private carriage and set out on their way to London......
