Ling Xue didn't notice that Xiao Taozi was blushing and lowering her head. She had never seen a master like her so much. Although she knew that the young master was a girl, she still couldn't help blushing.
When she came to her senses, Ling Xue had already reached the field where sweet potatoes were planted, and Xiao Taozi hurriedly followed.
There are many more sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the villa than in the main house. No wonder Ling Xue is so happy!
Ling Xue didn't waste any time and immediately picked up the small hoe and started digging sweet potatoes.
Xiao Taozi was quite observant. When she saw Ling Xue start digging sweet potatoes, she immediately came over to help.
She picked up another hoe and started digging sweet potatoes. It turned out that Xiao Taozi was very skilled and didn't look like a novice at all.
Ling Xue couldn't help but praise her, "Xiao Taozi, you're great!" Ling Xue gave her a thumbs up.
Although Xiao Taozi had never seen anyone else give a thumbs up, she knew from Ling Xue's words that it was a compliment to her.
Xiao Taozi didn't care about blushing at this moment. She probably thought Ling Xue mentioned her strengths, and she started talking nonstop again.
"I started helping my grandfather take care of these exotic flowers and plants when I was five years old. I'm quite good at digging out sweet potato seeds. When I was little, I was even beaten for digging out the rhizomes of these sweet potatoes."
Ling Xue, the supporting actor, still remembered to add, "Why are you being beaten?"
Little Taozi glanced around slyly, then whispered to Ling Xue, "I'm telling you this in secret. I got beaten for eating the rhizome of this sweet potato, but it's really delicious. But my grandfather doesn't allow me to eat it because he's afraid it might be poisonous. He thinks even if it's not poisonous, it might still be bad for my health."
People at that time were like this. They had a natural fear of things they had never seen before and would not dare to eat anything carelessly. It was normal for Xiao Taozi to be beaten for stealing sweet potatoes, so Ling Xue did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Ling Xue found it very interesting to see Xiao Taozi whispering, so she whispered in her ear: "I'll tell you something too. I've eaten this kind of sweet potato before, and it's nothing serious. I really like the taste!"
When Xiao Taozi heard Ling Xue's words, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Perhaps because she and Ling Xue had the same secret, Xiao Taozi's attitude suddenly became much closer to Ling Xue.
"Yeah, I just washed it and ate it raw. It's very sweet!"
Ling Xue nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is very sweet when eaten raw, but it tastes even better when cooked!"
Xiao Taozi opened her mouth in shock. She quietly asked Ling Xue, "How do you make cooked food?"
Ling Xue had nothing to hide, so she explained to her in detail the common ways to eat sweet potatoes: "There are many simple ways to prepare them. You can steam them, boil them, slice them and deep-fry them, cut them into pieces and cook them into porridge, make them into sweet potato cakes, grind them into a pulp and make sweet potato flour, or process them into sweet potato vermicelli."
Listening to Ling Xue's introduction, Xiao Taozi's mouth was almost watering.
She said regretfully, "It's a pity that my grandfather doesn't allow me to eat it. I only sneak one or two raw ones occasionally. I have never eaten cooked ones."
Ling Xue looked at Xiao Taozi's pitiful expression and continued to tempt her: "My favorite way to eat it is to roast it over a fire. It tastes sweet and fragrant, and it's so delicious."
