One day, cyber worker Tu Hua woke up to find herself, along with her room, stuck between ancient and modern timelines by a system. She had inexplicably become the family deity worshipped for genera...
Chapter 44: The food given by the family god heats up without fire?
Xu Su shook his head. "I can't see clearly. There are only shadows."
Old Master Xu stroked his beard and sat quietly for a long time. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "The Xie family's family god rarely appears in a hundred years. This time he appeared to save your life. I think it must be because you saved Xie Yuchuan's life in danger. That's why he gave you this opportunity."
Mr. Xu nodded and said, "Father, since ancient times, gods have not intervened in the affairs of mortals. The Xie family god appeared this time, it must be when the Xie family is in great danger. Brother Su has this opportunity to contact the gods. It is not easy."
Old Master Xu stroked his beard and nodded. "There's no way to hide his trip to Songjiang. The Songjiang County Magistrate wouldn't have the guts to keep it secret, so it would definitely be reported. The Xu family, if they're involved with the Xie family, won't get any military credit for the next few years. Even you, you need to be more discreet and low-key in your official duties these days, and don't give anyone else any leverage."
Xu Su: "I'm the one who caused trouble for my family."
Old Master Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't overthink it. The Xu family is not a small family. We can withstand any storm. Just rest and recuperate. Grandfather hasn't even entered the coffin yet. If there are any storms outside, Grandfather will bear them all for you."
Old Master Xu, the pillar of the Xu family, stayed in his grandson's room for a short while before returning to his own house.
It took only a quarter of an hour for Mr. Xu to change his clothes and come over.
At the desk, Old Master Xu thought for a moment while holding his tea, then instructed his son, "Go and ask your wife to see what good things are in the storeroom. Don't take out those tacky things. Pick out some good things for worshiping the gods and Buddhas."
"Father, do you want to send it to the Xie family?" asked Mr. Xu.
"The imperial physician said that Brother Su's stubborn illness is gone. He had sought help from countless miracle doctors over the years, but none of them could cure him. The Xie family's deity took action and he was cured. We, the Xu family, must repay this favor." Old Master Xu took two sips of tea. "If the deity had a temple dedicated to its Dharma body, it would be easy, but this deity is the Xie family's deity. Neither you nor I know how to worship him. We'll send everything to the Xie family. I'm sure the immortal will be pleased to see it."
Mr. Xu felt that what his father said made sense, and he hurriedly said respectfully, "I'll ask Madam to do it when I get home."
Old Master Xu said with satisfaction: "Let's do it first. This is the first time for our Xu family to interact with a fairy. We should be careful and make no mistakes."
Mr. Xu is gone.
Old Master Xu looked out the window and sighed in his heart, if there really was a god in the Xie family, it would be a rare opportunity for Xu Su to have this opportunity.
The day's turmoil in the Xu Mansion in the capital quietly subsided late at night.
While Xu Su was recuperating from his injuries, Madam Xu spent the night in the warehouse picking things, while Mr. Xu was also busy arranging manpower.
At this time, Xie Yuchuan, who was camping far away by the Songjiang River, did not know about these things.
In the firelight, the snowflake salt in my hand was crystal clear, without a trace of impurities.
He lightly touched it with his fingertips, picked up a little, and put it into his mouth.
It's salt!
He was trembling in his heart. Even in the palace, edible salt of this quality might not be available.
The gifts given by the household gods are indeed extraordinary.
As for the other spices, although it was not convenient for him to check them one by one, even if he just picked a few, he was even more surprised.
After taking a quick look at the package, he found that half of it was for keeping warm and the other half was food to fill his stomach.
Three things particularly surprised him. One was the instruction manual written by the family god in his hand. On a piece of snow-white paper were neatly arranged Chinese characters, all written in the same handwriting without any mistakes. However, the writing style of some characters was different from Daliang's usual writing style. Xie Yuchuan thought that the family god might have written it in a hurry.
In fact, Tu Huan typed the manual directly on the computer after drafting it. In order to make it easier for Xie Yuchuan to understand, she switched the simplified Chinese characters throughout the manual to traditional Chinese characters.
Xie Yuchuan had another thing that he was very curious about, which was the heating patch that the family god mentioned.
After reading the detailed explanation, he took out a piece from his bag and tore open the bag according to the instructions. Xie Yuchuan rubbed the plastic bag, but still didn't understand what it was made of.
After taking out the heating patch inside, tear off the white paper side and try to stick it on your waist.
At first, there was no response.
He continued to read the line of words that the God of Home had deliberately highlighted: portable and practical instant rice, compressed biscuits...etc.
He took out one of the bags and sat cross-legged against the tree trunk. Xie Wuying, who had been shielding his sixth brother, saw him taking one from the basket or frowning at the paper.
I thought he had encountered some difficulties, but I didn't dare to disturb him.
It wasn't until Xie Yuchuan took out a bag of instant rice that he finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice out of curiosity: "Sixth brother, what is this?"
Xie Yuchuan didn't understand either, "Food."
"Food?"
Xie Wuying was surprised.
What kind of food is this green? I've never eaten it.
He looked at Xie Yuchuan eagerly, wondering how he planned to eat, and was very curious.
In fact, there were a lot of food in the bundle that Xie Yuchuan could see at a glance, but only the things in the green bags made him unable to stop exploring.
Tu Huan wrote in detail in the instructions how to consume it.
Xie Yuchuan said, "Give me the water."
Xie Wuying handed him the water bag.
Xie Yuchuan looked at the special "water bag" he had been holding in his arms and planned to try it with the water given by the family god.
Xie Wuying lowered his head and handed over the water bag obediently, but when he saw Xie Yuchuan pouring the water, his face was full of heartache.
Do I need to use so much holy water at once?
Before long, Xie Wuying no longer felt distressed.
A pleasant aroma wafted over from Xie Yuchuan's hand. It was so fragrant that it made his mouth water.
"Six, Sixth Brother? Why do I seem to smell the aroma of meat? It smells so good!"
Xie Yuchuan opened the instant food bag and saw the plump rice grains and soft beef inside. The aroma rushed into his nostrils, and his internal organs tightened.
His mouth was watering and he was hungry.
The food given by the household god is so magical?
Just a little cold water to heat food without fire?
Xie Yuchuan stared blankly at the instant fried rice in his hand, having completely lost the ability to speak.
Xie Wuying smelled a strong fragrance next to him, but saw that his sixth brother was staring at the thing in his hand without saying a word, so he didn't dare to disturb him.
After a while, Xie Yuchuan handed him the thing in his hand.
"Hezhi, try it."
Xie Wuying:!!!
"Give me?"
"Yes, it's a reward from the gods."
Xie Wuying looked at the thing in his hand in shock and disbelief, then looked down and said, "!!!"
He stumbled and said in surprise, "Sixth brother! Rice! It's rice and meat!"
Xie Yuchuan's dark eyes swept across the extremely shocked expression on Xie Wuying's face, and his heart finally calmed down.
It turned out that he was not too shocked, but it was a gift from the family god. No matter who saw it, they would be shocked.
Xie Wuying was overwhelmed by the aroma, but he didn't move. He looked up and asked again: "Sixth brother, the food is so precious, is it appropriate for me to eat it?"
Xie Yuchuan nodded and said calmly, "Eat."
Xie Wuying didn't know what was wrong with his mind, and thought that this was his sixth brother asking him to "taste the rice" first, so he took the first bite with a heroic mood and full of excitement.
The next second, his eyes suddenly opened wide, then quickly squinted in enjoyment.
Mmmmm… It’s so delicious! It’s so delicious! How can it be so delicious!
Xie Yuchuan didn't actually ask him to try it, but he hadn't figured out how to bring it to his family. Should he just tell them? Or...
But soon, Xie Wuying gave him the answer.
Such a delicious delicacy that can heat itself without fire, unless it is a gift from God, no matter how high he goes, he cannot make it.
