<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> אמר ריש לקיש והוא שנתן לה שוה פרוטה ובשכר לא והתניא בשכר שהרכבתיך על החמור שהושבתיך בקרון או בספינה אינה מקודשת
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
According to Resh Lakish, the man must also give her kiddushin money. The fact that he will perform a favor for her is not sufficient.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The two baraitot cited here prove that a man can betroth a woman by performing work or some sort of favor for her as long as that work has not yet been done and it is worth the value of a perutah. So this is a refutation of Resh Lakish.
