Chapter 2140: Chapter 2142: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
"Yesterday you gave me fish, and today you send me vegetables again. I really feel embarrassed to accept, so I used the fish and vegetables you gave me to make some Hua Country dishes. Although it’s not as good as the skills of a restaurant, there is no Chinese restaurant in Mahali. Occasionally having a taste of hometown dishes might be nice, so... if you don’t mind, can I give this to your gentlemen?"
The Filipino helper had already witnessed her charm yesterday. The master of the house, who doesn’t like eating sweets, surprisingly only ate the cake she bought outside last night, skipping dinner.
For dishes personally made by Jiang Nuan like this, there was no need to think; the master would definitely not refuse.
Just as Jiang Nuan was worrying if her action was too abrupt, the Filipino helper cheerfully accepted the thermal container, thanked her, and then said to Jiang Nuan, "Please wait a moment."
Jiang Nuan had no choice but to stand at the door and wait.
In less than five minutes, she came out again with the thermal container and a bag of dog food, handing them all to Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan was surprised, "What is this?"
The thermal container felt light.
She thought the other party was refusing her cooking, but it turned out they had already emptied it.
The Filipino helper smiled broadly and said, "Our gentleman asked me to thank you; he really likes Hua Country cuisine. He has been troubled by not being able to eat Chinese food in Mahali. I asked Mr. Tom who previously lived here, are you Su Shan?"
Su Shan was the English name Jiang Nuan obtained abroad.
"Yes."
"Miss Susan, if it’s convenient, could you please make an extra portion of food every day in the future? Our gentleman loves Hua Country dishes very much, but I immigrated here with my parents a long time ago and can’t cook Chinese food..."
"?"
Why?
And then?
She was just expressing her gratitude for the bass and fruits and vegetables the neighbor sent. How did it turn into her becoming a free cook?
And their Little Potato, wasn’t that also forced on her?
Now they’re trying to push Little Potato’s ’dad’ on her too. No matter how good-natured she is, Jiang Nuan couldn’t tolerate it. She forced a awkward smile and was about to refuse, "Well, that’s probably not very convenient. I have to work during the day and am quite busy, so I don’t necessarily cook every day..."
This obvious rejection should have been understood, right?
I have no time!
But.
The Filipino helper showed a look of understanding and quickly replied, "Of course, I understand, Miss Su Shan. I was just saying that if it’s convenient, could you make two portions when you’re cooking?"
Jiang Nuan took a deep breath and gave a forced smile, "Not very convenient."
This time, with such an explicit refusal, the Filipino helper couldn’t pretend not to see it and awkwardly pleaded with her, "Miss Susan, is it really not possible? Our gentleman really loves Chinese food. He’s alone here, and there are no Chinese restaurants nearby..."
"I know that, you’ve told me before."
That’s not a reason for her to be a free cook.
To put it bluntly, there are many people in the world who need help. She can’t fulfill everyone’s requests, right?
As for the dog-walking, she agreed because she likes dogs herself, and they’ve been new neighbors and taken care of her to some extent. Even though it was just minor things, she appreciated the gesture, so she agreed.
But now the Filipino helper asked her to cook; Jiang Nuan couldn’t agree to that.
But the gentleman insisted on finding a way to make her agree. The Filipino helper was a bit anxious and spoke hastily, "Um, Miss Susan, the gentleman wouldn’t make you work for nothing. He can pay you for your effort."
