My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 110 Hot Pot on the Road to Exile

Gu Xingzhao smashed the basin, startling Mo Li. "What happened?"

Did I just say something wrong?

Gu Xingzhao chuckled awkwardly, "I didn't hold it properly, did I scare you?"

Mo Li: "No, no."

"I'll go wash some fruit. Help yourself to the food and drinks on the table. There are also books on the bookshelf. I've taken a number, and we'll go out to eat when it's almost time."

Mo Li nodded with a smile.

Once inside the kitchen, Gu Xingzhao rinsed the basin and then remembered the six baskets of vegetables. He knew he couldn't possibly eat them all by himself, so he decided to send some to Aunt Wang later and take some to the Lu family as well, so that Lu Qing and the others could have an extra meal.

You can't judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought that Mo Li, who looks so small, would be in charge of a thousand acres of land?

She couldn't help but recall what the male salesman at the car dealership had said: that Mo Li was a country bumpkin who wanted to go back to farming. Sigh, it's really hard to say who the country bumpkin is.

At this moment, Mo Li, who was sitting in the living room, was really bored. She went to the bookshelf and found that most of them were medical books, which she probably wouldn't understand.

Seeing that there was a TV in the living room, she simply took the remote and turned it on, thinking she would watch TV to pass the time.

The moment the television was turned on, a tall and upright man came into view. He stood like a bamboo stalk, with slender eyebrows and a humble smile on his lips, exuding both gentleness and elegance, as well as revealing an extraordinary temperament.

Even in simple attire, one cannot conceal the refined talent emanating from within, a result of years of studying the classics. Every gesture reveals the true nature of a cultured person.

Mo Li sensed a scholarly aura emanating from the other person that seemed to wash away the hustle and bustle of the world.

She was stunned; the man had such a refined air about him, and he was handsome too.

When Gu Xingzhao came out with the fruit, she saw that the TV was on and Mo Li was staring at it. Her heart skipped a beat!
She feigned composure, "Why are you watching TV?"

Mo Li then came to her senses, remembering that Gu Xingzhao had only said that the food and drinks were optional and that she could look at the books on the bookshelf, but hadn't mentioned that the TV could be turned on. She immediately felt a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I turned on the TV without your permission."

When she apologized, Gu Xingzhao felt embarrassed instead. "It's okay, you see."

Mo Li watched for a while, then pointed to the man drinking water on the TV and asked Gu Xingzhao, who was eating fruit, "Do you know which actor is the one wearing the red scarf?"

Seeing that she was referring to Lu Xingyao, Gu Xingzhao chuckled awkwardly, "What's wrong?"

Mo Li: "Wen Qiruyu, she seems to have a very elegant demeanor."

Seeing Mo Li's admiring expression, Gu Xingzhao coughed twice. Lu Xingyao, gentle as jade?

She quickly explained, "I don't know which actor it is. This is a DVD I found at home. It must have been something my family made for fun before."

Mo Li suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

I knew it! If someone like that existed in the entertainment industry, they'd probably be famous by now.

Fearing that Mo Li would notice something amiss if she kept watching, Gu Xingzhao quickly changed the subject, "It's almost time, we need to go to the barbecue restaurant."

Mo Li immediately got up and went out with Gu Xingzhao.

That evening, Gu Xingzhao first delivered some vegetables to Aunt Wang and other neighbors, then packed some more vegetables and took a few packets of hot pot base from the supermarket, wrote out the instructions with pictures and text, and delivered them to Lu Qing and the others.

"Lu Qing, I brought some dishes and a few pots. You can cook them later, or share some with others."

Lu Qing was surprised, "Terrible?!"
Because Lu Xingyao was injured, the clansman who took over the responsibility of carrying the bamboo basket felt a weight on his back and immediately perked up. He had been carrying the bamboo basket for two days and couldn't bear to take it off even when he was resting. He was finally able to wait for his ancestors to come and feed him!

He quickly took the bamboo basket off his back and saw that it contained several pots and a few packets of something that looked like water. Several clansmen nearby curiously gathered around to look, wondering, "Why would our ancestors send us pots?"

Just then, several people nearby exclaimed, "What is that!"

Everyone immediately looked over and saw two large baskets placed there. Lu Xingyao was the first to go over and check. When he lifted the cloth on the baskets, he found that they were actually two baskets of vegetables, with a large bag of meat on top!
My goodness, his fascinating and great ancestor actually sent down a divine dish from heaven!
The Lu family members now understood that their ancestors had sent several pots for them to cook. The packages were probably like instant noodles, which needed to be opened and boiled in water.

God knows how many of them have never seen such fresh and vibrant green vegetables before, sob sob sob!
Lu Qing walked over with his cane, and he really didn't expect that the vegetables his ancestors mentioned would amount to so much, two whole baskets, enough to feed a hundred or so people for two days.

Our ancestors even prepared several buckets of water for cooking vegetables.

He ordered in a deep voice, "Divide these vegetables and pots into portions, and send half of them to those officials."

There was plenty of food, and some could have been shared with other prisoners, but it shouldn't have been the Lu family who distributed it. Otherwise, if they stopped giving it to others one day, they would become the ones who committed the crime.

This is a major taboo, and the Lu family cannot afford to make this mistake.

Two people carried a basket of vegetables, two pots, two packets of hot pot base, and water to Du Hangwu and the others.

The officials were dumbfounded by the huge basket of vegetables. The gods of the Lu family were really down-to-earth, actually bestowing vegetables upon them.

They swallowed hard, wondering if eating the food bestowed by the gods would have the effect of prolonging their lives.

Du Hangwu hurriedly expressed his gratitude. After eating dry rations for more than a month, he was excited to see so many dishes. He immediately ordered people to build a stove and cook the fire.

By this time, the Lu family had already started a fire and divided the pots into four. Following the instructions of their ancestors, they tore open the spice packets and poured them into the water. Once the water boiled, they threw in the greens to cook, and after a couple of boils, they were ready to eat.

The mushroom-flavored broth is very rich and perfect for cooking vegetables.

Lu Yang took a bite of the greens and subconsciously squinted his eyes. The crisp greens paired with the rich broth were so delicious they made his eyebrows fall off!

The clansmen nearby also hurriedly picked up some food. It had been a whole month since they last ate such fresh vegetables. As they ate one or two at a time, they were filled with gratitude for their ancestors.

Lu Xingyao sat cross-legged on the ground, placing his scarf on his lap, afraid that eating with the scarf on would affect his performance.

He ate one bite after another, and for a moment he felt like he was back in the days when he was eating heartily at the Lu Mansion. He didn't know if he would have any more to eat after tonight, so he ate and cherished every bite. Every extra bite was a bonus!

The aroma was rich and quickly spread, making the people not far away drool. If it were anyone else, they would have rushed over to grab it and eat it, but that was the Lu family, the Lu family with divine intervention.

They dared not, and could only turn their backs, munching on their dry rations bit by bit, fantasizing that they were eating big fish and meat.

At this moment, the officials were only concerned with their own food and paid no attention to the prisoners who were eating dry rations.

"Boss, this vegetable is so tender, and the soup is delicious too!"

"It's all thanks to the Lu family, otherwise how could we eat such good food and drink such delicious soup?"

"We'd better be more polite to the Lu family from now on."

"And the Liu family, the two families are quite close!"

Upon hearing this, Du Hangwu also scooped up some soup and drank it. The soup coated his tongue, and his eyes lit up. It was indeed delicious!

Just as he was eating and drinking soup, he felt as if something had been added to his arms.

He took it out with a puzzled look, and almost spat out the soup in his mouth. He quickly stuffed it back into his pocket!
Today's update is right on time, hehehe!
