The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Chapter 712: Lots of Meat

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.

Although the Leng Family’s circumstances were considered decent, they couldn’t afford to eat white flour every day. They usually ate coarse grains, only adding some white flour during the busy farming season.

As for side dishes, it was just home-grown vegetables. There was no meat.

She simply made some flatbreads, stir-fried some greens, and fried an egg for each person. This was already considered a very good meal.

When Gu Jiaojiao finished making lunch, Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang had returned. The two of them would eat at home, while Gu Jiaojiao took lunch to Leng Yuan so she could eat with him in the fields.

The wheat field was at the foot of the mountain. By the time Gu Jiaojiao arrived, Leng Yuan was already more than halfway done with his work.

Gu Jiaojiao found a tree that not only provided a shady spot but was also in the path of a light, wonderfully comfortable breeze.

There happened to be a relatively flat stone nearby, so Gu Jiaojiao set out the bowls and chopsticks on it.

There were also four aluminum lunch boxes.

One held the braised roe deer, another held the rabbit, and a third held the cold cucumber salad.

The cucumber salad had peanuts and small chilies mixed in, giving it a beautiful color and a crisp, refreshing flavor that made you want to eat more rice.

Then there were the pickles and wild fruit.

You don’t eat a lot of pickles, so there was just a small amount. The same went for the wild fruit, which Gu Jiaojiao particularly enjoyed.

Besides all this, there was a large pot of mung bean soup. In addition to rock sugar, she had added two kinds of cooling medicinal herbs to help dispel internal heat.
