After dinner, Gu Jiaojiao called for Second Brother Gu to cut up the side of pork from the farm and chop off a leg for Song Zijie.
She also had him pack up some local specialties for Song Zijie. When Aunt Song saw all the things, she was so happy she couldn't stop grinning.
She was especially ecstatic to learn that the Divine Doctor had also come to Qing City. Now there was hope for her son's illness, and she walked with a spring in her step.
After the meal, Mr. Gu walked Uncle Song's family to the courtyard gate. The Song family's driver was waiting to take the three of them home.
Gu Jiaojiao didn't give the river snails and dried snail meat she had bought at the black market to Song Zijie.
Gu Jiaojiao kept the snails in their shells in a container of fresh water. Fresh snails couldn't be eaten right away because they would be full of sand and grit.
After a few days, the snails would have spat out most of the sand and grit, so they wouldn't be gritty to eat.
