Chapter 138
Marlena bowed her head again and thanked her: "Thank you, sir, thank you for giving me a job."
"There's nothing to thank, I'll pay you for what you do, it's a fair thing."
Lin Yue took out five lira of gold coins.
"This Mrs. Dickens will move this afternoon, and some of the groceries and bedding will be removed. If you don't move it, you throw away all the bedding. Use the money to buy daily necessities and decorate the castle. "
Yes, sir."
Seeing Lin Yue turn around to leave, Marlena plucked up the courage to catch up.
"Sir, can I ask you one thing?"
"Say,"
"Can I advance a piece of bread?" I haven't eaten for two days, don't look at the clothes I wear, these are all bought before I got married, I don't wear these clothes to seduce anyone, I'm just used to dressing like this.
Marlena was afraid that Lin Yue would misunderstand like the others, so she quickly explained to Lin Yue.
"It's okay, you can stop by the market and buy some bread and come back. Also, what I'm trying to tell you is that beauty is not a sin, and you don't have to explain it.
After Lin Yue finished speaking, he turned around and left directly.
He had just seen a small café in the big square in front of the church.
Lin Yue suddenly wanted to drink what the coffee of the 40s was like?
After Marlena left here, she kept looking at the back of Lin Yue, a person from the Celestial Dynasty, with some doubts and surprises in her heart.
This gentleman seems to be a little different from the others.
"It's a good saying that beauty is not a sin."
......
The coffee shops of this period were very shabbyly furnished.
But the coffee is ground pure, the flavor is strong, and nothing is added to it.
Lin Yue sat at a small mottled wooden table outside the coffee shop.
After being busy for a while in a small shop of less than 10 square meters, the shopkeeper walked to Lin Yue's side.
"Sir, it's rare to see people from the Celestial Empire here, and you're the first one I've ever seen."
"The scenery in Sicily is good, and I came here because I like it."
The shopkeeper straightened his clothes, rolled up the sleeves on both sides, and sat down on the opposite side of Lin Yue's table.
"How does the coffee taste, we don't have many coffee beans at home, and it's really hard to buy them in this era."
"It's very strong, the taste is pure, and your craftsmanship is good."
"Thanks for the compliment. There are some things I would like to remind you sir that I have no ill will and that you are my 1st guest today and I have great respect for you.
Lin Yue took a sip of coffee, put the cup on the table, and looked up at the middle-aged coffee shop owner.
As the coffee shop owner spoke, the figure-of-eight mustache on the side of his mouth went up and down.
"Today I saw you standing up for Marlena and teaching that Mrs. Ling Mu, her husband is a mafia, because the government is cracking down on it recently, all the mafia have run out to hide, but I can't guarantee that they will come back one day, so I still remind Mr. to pay attention to safety."
"Okay, thanks."
Seeing that Lin Yue was almost completely unconcerned, the owner of the coffee shop looked a little surprised.
Because no matter where you are in Sicily, as long as you hear the word black party, everyone's first reaction is to be afraid.
Because they are not only stealing things, but more often they are beating and killing people, and doing all kinds of evil.
"Are there any bars in town? Well...... I mean a place to drink. "
Yes, sir. Follow this road all the way to the west, there are three taverns there, and now the wine in it is very good, because everyone has no money, so the wine is sold very cheaply. "
The owner of this coffee shop is obviously very talkative.
He sat in front of Lin Yue, as if he wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Yue and let Lin Yue come to him often to consume.
He told Lin Yue a lot about some big and small things in this town.
Including talking about why there are some good wines in those taverns now?
Because of the implementation of the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, many of the wines that were originally sold far away in the whole of Sicily are now unsold.
Therefore, coupled with the war, many sea and land transportation lines were completely cut off.
Alcohol produced in-house can now only be consumed internally.
......
Seeing the sun set, it's not early.
Lin Yue drank the second cup of coffee and left five lira gold coins on the boss's table.
The owner of the coffee shop looked extremely excited.
"Sir, you don't even have a lira for these two cups of coffee."
"It's okay, the other four lira should be paid for your kindness."
......
Lin Yue returned to Kalin Castle.
Mrs. Dickens and her family have all moved away.
Several other servants had seen Lin Yue's method of beating Mrs. Na Lingmu, and they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and they had already left one after another.
Only Marlena was busy inside the castle.
When Lin Yue walked into the courtyard of the ancient castle, Ma Lena saw it at the window that was cleaned up above, and hurriedly ran down the spiral staircase in the ancient castle.
Her high-heeled shoes rattled on the spiral staircase.
Lin Yue entered the gate of the castle, and there was some food on the table in the hall on the first floor.
"Sir, I've basically bought all the other daily necessities. However, because food is scarce now, it is generally only sold in the morning. I went to the market and bought only these two loaves of bread.
Ma Lena stood in front of Lin Yue, speaking softly, for fear of making Lin Yue unhappy and depriving her of her only source of income.
Lin Yue didn't speak, he didn't even look at Malena.
He picked up the bread and took a bite.
The taste of this bread is not comparable to the bread on the Blue Star.
The hard black bread is coated with a thin layer of olive oil, and it really doesn't taste good.
But even this food in the current Sicily, already belongs to a very good delicacy.
As the sun set down, it was getting late.
A ray of sunlight pours in through the cellophane windows above the Kalim Castle.
The whole castle is golden.
"Sir," said Malena, plucking up her courage, "I will come again to-morrow, and I must go home to-morrow."
Lin Yue waved his hand.
Marlena couldn't help but ask herself about her salary here, she felt that on the first day of work, it seemed a little out of place to bring this up.
Marlena had just walked to the door.
Lin Yue turned his head and looked at the back of the graceful floral skirt.
This woman is really so beautiful!
Lin Yue sighed heartily.
From top to bottom, there is no place that does not reveal sexiness and style.
"Marlena."
"Sir, is there anything else you can do?"
"You said that there are only two loaves of bread left in the bazaar. Did you not eat?
Malena didn't speak, she had indeed been hungry for two days.
She had planned to go to her dad tomorrow to borrow some money.
Since her husband died on the battlefield, all the subsidies in the family have been cut off.
Lin Yue got up and grabbed another piece of black bread on the table.
He went to the door, placed the black bread in Malena's hand, and then turned and went up the spiral staircase to the upper level of the castle.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Malena held the piece of black bread excitedly, and then quickly tucked it into her sleeve and left.
