Chapter 116: Liu Niang and Tao Niang
Liu Niang stammered and said hello, and went to move things, but Tao Niang didn't even dare to lift her head.
Although Banxia is very kind to her subordinates on weekdays, the ones who can get close to her are Mama Su, Ruyi and the nurse of the two babies.
Coupled with the innate awe of the ancient people for the government personnel, it is not surprising that Liu Niang and Tao Niang are like this.
"I invite you here today because I want your help with something."
Liu Niang was shocked: "Madame has something to order, I ...... The slave is very serious. ”
"Don't be nervous," Banxia said, "which village are you from?" ”
"The slave maid is from the Longevity Village."
"Slaves and slaves belong to Yong'an and Ancun." Tao Niang's voice was so small that it seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Have you ever farmed before?" Banxia asked.
Liu Niang replied: "Planted." ”
Tao Niang also nodded.
Banxia pointed to the bamboo basket: "Do you know what is in here?" ”
Tao Niang only glanced at it hurriedly and shook her head, but Liu Niang had the courage to look at it carefully for a while: "The slave maid has never seen it." ”
"This is a grain seed that my father got by chance, and I want you to help me grow it."
Liu Niang hesitated a little: "The way each food is planted is different, and the slave is afraid that it will be ruined for the wife." ”
Banxia said: "My father's books have written about some planting methods, but because the books have been soaked in water, some places can't be seen clearly. ”
Banxia didn't want to put too much pressure on them: "You just have to do your best." ”
Liu Niang, Tao Niang knelt down: "The slave will definitely do her best." ”
Banxia made a look, and Mama Su stepped forward to help them up: "Madame doesn't have to be restrained, you don't have to kneel down at every turn, our Madam doesn't like this." ”
Banxia came to the two of them and began to introduce: "The yellow object that sprouts in the basket is a potato, and the pink one is a sweet potato. ”
Liu Niang and Tao Niang looked puzzled.
Liu Niang scratched the back of her head: "It's the first time I've heard of this slave-eating maid." ”
"Well, it's my first time, let's try to grow it first," Banxia said, pointing to the sweet potato, "its fruit is its seed, and after a while, it will be cut into small pieces, each piece must have skin on it, and then it will be dried, and the skin will be facing up when planting." ”
Liu Niang frowned.
Banxia asked her, "Got it?" ”
Liu Niang had a bitter face: "There are some things I don't understand." ”
Banxia looked at Tao Niang: "What about you?" ”
Tao Niang didn't dare to look directly into Banxia's eyes, but nodded in a panic.
Banxia was helpless: "You don't have to be afraid. ”
"Slaves, slaves, no, not afraid."
"Now that you understand, let's talk about how to grow sweet potatoes?"
A weak voice sounded: "Cut the sweet potato into pieces, with the skin on, and the skin should be facing up when planting." ”
After Tao Niang finished speaking, she asked cautiously, "Madam, right?" ”
Banxia's eyes lit up: "That's right, let's talk about the method of planting potatoes next." ”
"Potatoes are a little tricky!" Banxia said, "The planting method written by my father in the book is missing some parts because of improper storage. ”
Liu Niang said cautiously: "Is it convenient to ask the master?" ”
Master? Her father? Go underground and ask?
Banxia said: "My father has passed away for many years, I'm afraid it's ......"
Hearing this, Liu Niang hurriedly knelt down and slammed her head on the ground: "Madame spares her life, the slave maid didn't deliberately touch Madame's sad past." ”
Tao Niang also knelt down and kowtowed.
Banxia reluctantly made a color at Mama Su, and Mama Su stepped forward to help the two of them: "Get up quickly, those who don't know are not guilty, and Madame doesn't blame you." ”
"In the planting process, if you have any ideas and questions, tell me or Mama Su directly, if you succeed in planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, you are a great hero, I will reward you well, if you fail to plant, you will not be guilty, you just have to do your best."
"Yes, ma'am."
