Gu Jiaojiao waited until it was almost noon. Seeing it was getting late, she headed back early to cook lunch.
The two of them were a pair, so one always had to go back early to cook and bring food over.
She could have actually left the task to Sweet Girl, but Gu Jiaojiao had more free time, so it was more fitting for her to be the one to go back.
Back home, Gu Jiaojiao went to the cellar and took out a marinated wild rabbit, then cut off a piece of roe deer meat.
For lunch: spicy rabbit, braised roe deer, and a cold cucumber salad. Plus some pickles, a few wild fruits, and steamed rice.
It was an incredibly lavish meal.
She started with the roe deer meat. Since it was game, the meat was firm and needed to be stewed for over an hour. Meanwhile, she stir-fried the rabbit. Once the rabbit was cooked, she started steaming the rice.
Sun Yeshu, who was pregnant, was also the one in her family who went home to cook.
