Chapter 25 From today on, I will support you

The next day, when Hua Ling was playing with cinnabar, she accidentally got some cinnabar on her palm. After it melted with water, it dripped like blood on her palm.

Just at this time, Tao Yue'er walked in with food, causing dust to fall on the door. Hua Ling covered her mouth in the dust and coughed, then opened her palm again, and Tao Yue'er saw the blood in Hua Ling's hand.

Tao Yue'er was shocked: "Hua, Hua Ling, why are you coughing up blood!"

Hua Ling was stunned: "I..."

"Lie down quickly!" Before Hua Ling could explain, Tao Yue'er interrupted him and immediately pushed him back onto the haystack to lie down.

Only then did Tao Yue'er realize that Hua Ling was the one who lost more weight than herself.

His fingers have distinct joints, and his clothes are so empty that only bones are left.

Tao Yuer'er said sadly: "I'm sorry, I have made you suffer these days. Don't worry, I will cheer up, find you the best doctor, and let you live the best life. Your life will not be like A Yin's

If they dissipate like that, you will live a long! A long time!"

Tao Yue'er's face was full of fighting spirit, sweeping away the gloom caused by the fire in the Salesian Bureau the day before yesterday.

Hua Ling fell silent for a moment.

Looking at Tao Yue'er's changes, he suddenly didn't want to explain. Instead, he covered his mouth and coughed harder.

"Cough cough cough..." The cough became louder, his back arched, and there was a hint of mist in his eyes. Such a look that made me feel pity for him made Tao Yue'er full of protective desire, a feeling of finding life again.

A meaningful expression washed over her cheeks.

"From today onwards, it's me who will raise you, okay?"

Tao Yue'er was so confident that Hua Ling's words of rejection came to her lips, but she never said them out.

Hua Ling finally found a way to cheer up Tao Yue'er. Although it was a bit shameless, it worked. So she nodded and said, "Okay."

From then on, he naturally and peacefully began the long journey of pretending to be ill...

In the afternoon, Tao Yue'er ate the leftovers from last night and then went to the city.

On West Street, outside a shop, there was a bustling crowd and it was very lively. Tao Yue'er took a closer look and found a bright red recruitment notice posted on the door.

Miaoxiangtang is recruiting a perfumer apprentice. There are no gender requirements, no age requirements, and no skill requirements. The monthly salary is enough to be one or two silver!

One tael of silver was enough for Tao Yue'er's family of three for a year in the past. Since she had no requirements, she had no reason not to apply, so she immediately walked into the shop.

Miaoxiangtang is a famous incense house in Jingguo, where everything related to "incense" is bought and sold.

As soon as Tao Yue'er walked into the store, she was hit by the aroma that hit her face.

The cabinet on the left is full of spices, each of which is packed in a special wooden box. There are about two hundred kinds. On the wall cabinet are incense burners, incense boxes, and incense fans; on the cabinet on the right are incense compilations and incense powder.

, incense cage, fragrant balls, hanging; in the middle, there are several squares similar to cakes, colorful. After listening to the waiter explain to the guests, Tao Yue'er knew that these were soaps.

The soap is different from the crude soap she usually uses. Each piece of soap has its own name. For example, An Zhidinglan has milk and orchids added to it. Rose Jade Dew has rose petals and sesame oil added to it. It is said that after using it,

, can keep the fragrance on your body for several days...

Tao Yue'er was amazed by the doorway in it. She couldn't believe that the things sold in Xiangtang were so exquisite. It was no wonder that the business here was so good.

She couldn't help but guess that the scent on Hua Ling's body was probably due to the soap she used.

Tao Yue'er didn't understand it in the past, but now it's an eye-opener.

In the backyard, there were many people applying for apprenticeships, but everyone who entered came out dejected.

Tao Yue'er looked at the end of the queue, peeking through the gap in the curtain, and saw a person who looked like a maid sitting in the inner hall. Although she had a charming appearance, her face was expressionless and fierce, which was completely different from Tao Yue'er's gentle demeanor.

It seems difficult to get close to her. Obviously, she is not satisfied with any of these applicants.

When it was almost Tao Yue'er's turn, at the right time, a gorgeous young man in purple clothes walked down from the second floor.

He tied his hair with a golden crown, held a folding fan in one hand, and held a basin of unknown ink-colored objects in his other hand. He almost didn't look at the road while walking, only focusing on the object in the bowl.

He has red lips, white teeth, bright appearance, and a face as beautiful as a woman's, attracting the covetous attention of countless people, both men and women.

Tao Yue'er also opened her mouth like everyone else. She was not surprised by his beauty, because she had already spent time with more beautiful men. Moreover, Hua Ling was younger than him.

But the thing in his hand caught Tao Yue'er's attention.

That’s Zhilan!

Ripe Zhilan!

Zhilan is a kind of spice. The reason why she is so familiar with it is because there are records about it in "Qingjing Drinking Meals" and "Miaotang Xiangshi".

In "Miao Tang Fragrance", Zhilan is a precious spice. But in "Quiet Drinking Meal Book" it is a dish called 'Zhilan Fish Head Stew'. Even through the picture, Tao Yue'er can tell that this dish

The soup must be fresh and the meat soft, and very delicious.

Hua Ling was very good at fishing and had no shortage of ingredients. She pointed at the picture and asked Hua Ling: "Where can I find Zhilan?"

Hua Ling thought for a while and told her: "At least Jingguo didn't."

Tao Yue'er didn't give up and asked again: "Where can I find it?"

"Penglai."

"Where is Penglai?" Tao Yue'er was confused. She had never heard of this place before. It seemed like the name of a fairy mountain cave.

Hua Ling did not explain the specific location of Penglai, but simply said: "I will take you there in the future."

"What are you going to do?" Tao Yue'er asked again, "Is it fun there?"

"It's not fun. But... there are a lot of orchid, you can use it to make fish head stew."

"Ah, that's so good!" Tao Yue'er drooled all over the floor when she saw the Zhilan fish head pot. Every time she turned over it, she would secretly warn herself that one day, she would go to that place called 'Penglai'

place, then find Zhilan and make a fish! Head! Stew!

Tao Yue'er originally thought that it would take a long time for this dream to come true, but she didn't expect that she accidentally bumped into him here today, and she was really overjoyed.

"Are these Zhilan seeds? Can you sell some to me?" Tao Yue'er blurted out, completely forgetting that she didn't even have a place to live, let alone any spare money.

There was some surprise on the man's face. He stared at Tao Yue'er for a moment, then pointed at her and turned to the interviewer and said, "Lan Sheng, let everyone else go. I want this person."

The maid named Lan Sheng was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, nodded, and let everyone disperse.

"We have been waiting in line for such a long time, and we are about to leave just now? How can this make sense?" Downstairs, there were many people booing, and people who were not registered started to make a fuss.

When the man saw it, he frowned and said, "Lan Sheng, give each of them three coins to send them away, and also remove the recruitment notice at the door. They won't be needed in the future."

Lan Sheng nodded: "Yes."

In this way, the crowd dispersed.

The man nodded to Tao Yue'er and said, "You, follow me." After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.

Tao Yue'er looked at him dully, not understanding what he meant, and didn't dare to take a step.

She was actually very excited about the three-cent severance pay, and wondered if she should have it too?

Three coins... enough to feed her and Hua Ling for three days!

When Lan Sheng saw this, he urged again: "Why are you standing still? You have been admitted by my shopkeeper, why don't you follow me quickly?"

"Ah? Admitted?"

"Yes!" Lan Sheng rolled his eyes, feeling that this man was a bit stupid.

Seeing Lan Sheng's eyes burning, Tao Yue'er quickly lifted up her skirt and walked upstairs: "Oh, okay! I'll go right away!"

He actually meant to admit himself! This is simply unbelievable.

She obviously didn't do anything, how could she be admitted?!
