Chapter 472 The Daily Life of a Little Maid!
"Since it's your first day here, you'll start learning from me."
Xiao Zhuo, holding the little girl's hand, first led her to the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Pointing to the large tree at the entrance, he said, "This is our Dragon City's sacred tree, the Night-Shining Tree. It emits a magical light... It's cool during the day, and at night..."
"No wonder Dragon City is so cool, it's like a fairyland."
Yao Yao looked up in surprise at the endless expanse of trees.
"Remember, you have to water the sacred tree once every morning and afternoon, and the ivy guarding the city lord's mansion too..." Xiao Zhuo pointed to the ivy in the backyard of the city lord's mansion and reminded him.
Xiao Yu's other pets need to be fed every day.
As plants, the glow-in-the-dark tree and the Virginia creeper naturally need to be watered and fertilized.
However, the bioluminescent tree can obtain enough nutrients by absorbing sunlight.
The Virginia creeper, by absorbing the essence of the glow-in-the-dark, can replenish its nutrients, creating a perfect closed loop...
"Huh? The sacred tree is so big, how do you water it?" Upon hearing this, Yao Yao immediately frowned slightly.
It wasn't that she didn't want to work, but she felt the sacred tree was too big for her to manage alone.
What if the glow-in-the-dark tree dies because she didn't water it properly?
"When we water it, we call it Little Slime, look, it's this! It's our most considerate little friend..." Xiao Zhuo said as he summoned the slime over and introduced the new friend to him.
After all, many affairs of the city lord's mansion are inseparable from slimes.
As a maid in the city lord's mansion, Yao Yao must know how to communicate with slimes.
"Wow, what an adorable little guy!" Just like a girl seeing a slime for the first time, Yao Yao was instantly attracted by the soft and cute little slime.
Moreover, Yao Yao was worried that the city lord's mansion would not be able to handle the workload since there were only two maids before.
But now, with Shii's help, everything is much easier.
She also vaguely understood why Longcheng had no shortage of water, and even why it was so luxurious to use water for bathing.
Xiao Zhu pointed to the courtyard not far from the glowing tree and introduced, "This is the City Lord's plantation. This is corn, this is tomatoes, and peanuts... The City Lord's mansion gets its ingredients picked from here every day; they have to be the freshest..."
"Yes, I've got it!" Yao Yao nodded repeatedly as she looked at the plants.
I was incredibly surprised, because I had never seen these vegetables and plants before in my entire life.
"As for how to grow these vegetables, with the glow-in-the-dark trees around, it's quite simple..."
"This is the city lord's studio. Remember to knock before you go in..."
"The backyard...is the residence of the city lord and several other officials, and there's also a hot spring..."
Soon, Xiao Zhuo led Yao Yao on a tour of the entire city lord's mansion.
"This room is for resting. Let's change our clothes here first."
As Xiao Zhu spoke, he led Yao Yao to a room next to the kitchen. Upon opening the door, they found a rest room of more than 20 square meters.
There is a wardrobe and a table inside.
There are also two beds, complete with a full set of quilts and bedding, which looks very cozy.
"Here you go." Xiao Zhu took out two brand-new maid outfits from a small wardrobe and handed them to Yao Yao.
She turned around and gestured for the little girl to quickly change her clothes.
"Okay, okay." Yao Yao took it and immediately changed into a blue and white maid outfit.
"It'll be noon soon, the city lord and the others will be eating." Just then, Xiao Zhuo noticed the sun was high in the sky and reminded them, "Remember, make lunch at this time every day..."
"Okay, Sister Zhuo." Yao Yao nodded obediently and silently remembered.
"Next to the rest room is the storage room..." Xiao Zhuo opened a door next to it, revealing shelves filled with bamboo baskets of various sizes, ceramic jars, shovels and hoes, cleaning cloths, and so on...
"All the tools you need for the work are here. Remember to put them back here when you're done."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhuo picked up two small shovels and two small bamboo baskets and handed one to Yao Yao.
A moment later, when the two left the plantation, the bamboo basket was already filled with ingredients for lunch.
"Is this the new maid?" A clear voice rang out.
Just as the two returned to the city lord's mansion, a figure with short, fiery red hair walked into the main hall.
"Lady Honglian!" Xiao Zhuo immediately grabbed Yao Yao and bowed slightly.
At the same time, she whispered a reminder to the newly arrived maid: "This is our Deputy City Lord of Dragon City... Lady Red Lotus, and also the future City Lord's wife!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao immediately bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Lady Honglian!"
The future city lord's wife, my own mistress!
"No need to be so polite!" Honglian waved her hand casually, glanced at the little maid, and smiled, "Little girl, you're still too thin. With those skinny arms and legs, it must be very hard for you to work."
"I'm not tired, Lady Honglian!" Yao Yao shook her head repeatedly, her voice trembling slightly.
Could it be that this mistress thinks I'm not doing my job well and wants to get rid of me?
"Hehe, look how anxious you are." The red-haired girl couldn't help but shake her head and laugh when she saw this. She stepped forward and patted the little girl's head, saying with heartache, "Don't rush to cook, drink this first."
As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle about the size of a thumb from his spatial bracelet.
Inside was a mass of dark red liquid.
"Yes, Lady Honglian!" Yao Yao nodded and respectfully accepted it with both hands.
Without asking what it was or hesitating at all, he simply opened the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
Honglian nodded in satisfaction. Dragon City was constantly expanding, and the City Lord's Mansion was naturally getting busier and busier.
Especially her younger sister Xinglan has a lot on her plate, having to take care of so many people and prepare three meals a day.
She had heard that a new maid had arrived at the city lord's mansion, so she came back to check on her.
By the way, I gave the little girl a first-tier enhancement elixir to strengthen her body.
After all, that little body is really quite frail!
"It tastes so strange, a bit astringent... Ah, it's so hot!" As soon as she put it in her mouth, the little girl felt a strange taste spreading in her mouth, and then a warm current quickly rushed to her whole body.
Immediately, her whole body began to feel hot, and even her skin turned bright red.
"Ah, Lady Honglian, I feel so bad!" Yao Yao cried out in terror.
"Don't be afraid! This is a strengthening drug, it's strengthening your body!" the red-haired girl reassured her.
"A strengthening elixir?" Upon hearing this, Yao Yao's eyes widened instantly in disbelief.
She had once heard her father say that only powerful forces possessed the enhancement elixir, which was said to be extremely precious.
Unexpectedly, Lady Honglian bestowed such a precious medicine upon me as soon as I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
"Stop spacing out, calm down!" Honglian reminded him seriously. "Sit cross-legged... gather your mind, focus on your dantian, and guide the energy within your body..."
