Chapter 56
Ye Ling was surprised and turned his head to look at Tian Cuihua with his mouth open.
The rickshaw driver was pulling in a direction downwind, so what the two men just said reached his ears.
Although the previous misunderstanding about Tian Cuihua had long been resolved, suddenly hearing her asking for help from a woman he had only met a few times made the coachman couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for Ye Ling, a stranger.
After a while, at Ye Ling's greeting, the driver stopped the car and put the two of them down, then turned around and dragged the car away.
Ye Ling didn't know how he agreed to Tian Cuihua's request in such a confused manner.
She obviously didn't know much about this strange girl, and she also knew that she was a beggar of unknown origin who used to beg near Zhiyin Pavilion, but why did she suddenly soften her heart?
However, Ye Ling was not totally unprepared. She just arranged Tian Cuihua into a guest room in her residence and told her not to touch anything here at will.
She also specifically emphasized that if she found a problem, she would definitely drive Tian Cuihua away.
Tian Cuihua climbed up the pole and repeatedly promised that she would abide by the rules and help her with work, so she stayed on.
Seeing Ye Ling turn around and go back to her room, a successful smile appeared on her face.
Finally, she had a chance to contact the target person for a long time. However, she knew that the other person would wake up tomorrow morning and find a way to drive her away.
After all, now that Ye Ling has too much time to take care of himself, how can he have time to bring her, a dragster? But she will not give the other party this chance...
Early the next morning, as soon as Ye Ling woke up from his sleep, he smelled a strong aroma of rice on the tip of his nose.
After she got dressed and left the room, she found that the small table where she usually ate had been set up in the yard. There were two small stools next to the table. The most eye-catching thing was the steaming small pot on the table.
She unconsciously walked forward and took a sniff, and was sure that this was what she smelled before.
I opened the half-covered pot lid and took a closer look, only to find that it was rice porridge. The white porridge rice was also mixed with shredded mushrooms and chopped green vegetables.
Since the fall of the Ye family, the former house of the Ye family has been sold to pay off debts, and all the cooks, maids, etc. have also gone away.
She rents alone in this small courtyard. She doesn't know how to cook and is too lazy to learn. She usually buys food outside. Breakfast is usually steamed buns, cakes and the like, and she rarely has time to drink porridge.
Now that Leng Buding saw what she used to drink, the tip of her nose actually felt a little sour.
"Sister Ye, are you awake? It's time to have breakfast!"
Tian Cuihua poked her head out of the kitchen, looked at Ye Ling in the courtyard with a smile, then retracted her head, and soon came out with a plate of steaming potato slices.
Before Ye Ling could say anything, she returned to the kitchen and brought two pairs of clean dishes, chopsticks and spoons.
"Hurry up and eat. We have to go to Zhiyin Pavilion later! By the way, I bought the vegetables and rice this morning. The remaining rice and vegetables are in the kitchen. You can go and take a look."
Having said this, Tian Cuihua looked at Ye Ling who was stunned, and continued: "Buying these rice dishes cost one silver dollar in total. My cooking wages should be included in the rent and food. Sister Ye, just give me one silver dollar."
"
After saying that, she picked up the small bowl next to her and started to serve the porridge. She filled two small bowls and placed one on each side. She placed the spoons and chopsticks respectively. She put the potato slices between the two bowls and waved her hand for Ye Ling to sit down and eat together.
Ye Ling came back to his senses, "I'll give you the silver dollars later. I'll give you two dollars. You can take it and leave. I don't need a cook."
The original smile on Tian Cuihua's face froze, and she immediately understood that her plan had failed.
"Okay." She stopped talking nonsense and responded before lowering her head to eat.
Ye Ling took a sip of the porridge and picked up potato slices to taste. The potato slices were slightly larger than the thumbnail and went well with the porridge.
Not to mention porridge, even though she had eaten a lot of porridge, she had to admit that the porridge cooked by Tian Cuihua tasted better than the ones made by the cook hired by the Ye family before.
After tasting the taste of this breakfast, she couldn't help but regret her impulse just now. In fact, if it was just Tian Cuihua's accommodation and food, she couldn't afford it. But after the words were spoken, she couldn't bear to take them back.
After she finished her breakfast, she looked up and found Tian Cuihua across the table looking at her.
She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and said quickly: "Wait a minute, I'll get you some money."
Tian Cuihua shook her head. Money in this world is of no use to her. The reason why she mentioned the vegetable money first was just to put the ugly words first, and she didn't want Ye Ling to take everything for granted. But her
The method obviously didn't work. The other party didn't need someone who knew how to cook.
"The money thing is not urgent. Sister Ye, go and wash up. How about I help you put on your makeup later? I'll leave after I finish it."
After being reminded like this, Ye Ling remembered that he had eaten breakfast without washing up. He responded awkwardly and hurriedly turned around and returned to the room.
Ye Ling's foundation is not bad. She usually puts on light makeup when going to Zhiyin Pavilion, and then touches up her makeup when she gets there. After she washed up, she looked much better than before after Tian Cuihua's makeup.
Obviously Ye Lingming's steps were similar to those she used for makeup, but compared with the results of the two, she felt that Tian Cuihua was slightly better.
She was sitting in front of the dressing table at the moment, looking at herself in the mirror after makeup, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.
She quickly recognized the fact that Tian Cuihua's effect was not only slightly better than her own, but far superior.
She saw a lot of elegant and gorgeous makeup in Zhiyin Pavilion.
But techniques like Tian Cuihua's are unique in that they can make people look more dazzling through makeup, yet still look pleasing to the eye and feel like they're breathing spring breeze.
As a result, Ye Ling regretted his direct words to drive people away just now.
She turned around, trying to persuade Tian Cuihua to stay, but found that she was nowhere to be found in the house. She walked to the yard and called twice, but no one responded.
At this time, she remembered that after Tian Cuihua put on her makeup, she took the silver dollar from the small bag on the dressing table and handed it to Tian Cuihua.
Then, what Tian Cuihua said at that time was that she would have something to do later, so she would stay shortly and leave first...
Thinking of this, Ye Ling also knew that regretting it now would not help. She had to simply pack up, go out with her small bag, stop a rickshaw outside, and go to Zhiyin Pavilion.
Although Zhiyin Pavilion was not open early this morning, it will still be open during the day.
It's just that she is a little worried. After what happened last night, Lefang's business must be affected. Although she can get a salary whether the business is good or bad, but if the business is not good, the senior old people and the supervisors will have to pay attention to them.
Those old aunts must take it out on her.
