Chapter 621 Freshly Squeezed Pomegranate Juice

The bamboo chopsticks in his hand were placed on both sides of the bulging gauze ball. Lu Qiyan held the bamboo chopsticks, clamped the end of the gauze with the chopsticks, and then pushed it little by little towards the gauze ball wrapped around the pomegranate seeds.

The pomegranate seeds were under pressure, and the crystal clear, juicy flesh quickly burst. The juice quickly emerged from the sparse holes in the gauze, forming water droplets.

These water droplets soon grew larger and merged together to form a small stream, flowing down the top of the gauze ball and falling into the white porcelain bowl.

Freshly squeezed pomegranate juice!
And it is the kind of juice that is completely free of water, squeezed by hand, and has the original flavor!
Xia Mingyue was very happy. After Lu Qiyan squeezed all the peeled pomegranate seeds into juice, she couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and take a sip.

It is sweet with a hint of sourness unique to pomegranate, and is extremely delicious.

Moreover, the pomegranate seeds are cool and delicious, and they are even more comfortable to drink in such a dry, warm and toasty house.

The most important thing is that this pomegranate juice was squeezed by Lu Qiyan himself, and it is so sweet that it touches the heart.

Xia Mingyue smiled, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were slightly revealed, showing her sweetness. "Thank you, husband, for squeezing pomegranate juice for me."

"Then does the lady have any reward?" Lu Qiyan smiled mischievously.

Reward...

Xia Mingyue tilted her head, "How about giving the remaining pomegranate juice to my husband as a reward?"

It's just pomegranate juice.

Lu Qiyan suddenly looked a little disappointed.

But it is obvious that my wife likes this pomegranate juice very much, and the fact that she was willing to give it up is enough to show how important he is in her heart?

Lu Qiyan immediately perked up and reached out to take the white porcelain bowl from Xia Mingyue's hand.

But before his fingers touched the bowl, Xia Mingyue handed the white porcelain bowl to her mouth and drank the remaining pomegranate juice.

Lu Qiyan, "My wife..."

What is this going to do?
Before he could finish the second half of his sentence, Xia Mingyue came up to him and interrupted him.

Almost in an instant, his tightly closed lips were pried open, and all the pomegranate juice flowed into his mouth.

Sweet and delicious.

A delicacy on earth.

Lu Qiyan was a little greedy for this delicious taste, so he simply held Xia Mingyue's face with his big hands, intending to drink up every last bit of pomegranate juice.

Suddenly, the door that was originally tightly closed was kicked open with a "bang", and Xia Yunji walked in excitedly, "Sister..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yunji saw the situation in the room clearly. After a moment of shock, he hurriedly said, "I didn't see anything."

Then, he reached out and covered the eyes of Wu Jin, who followed him into the room.

Wu Jin: "..."

Is the light out?
Why is it so dark in front of its eyes?
"Go, go, go, hurry up." Xia Yunji hurriedly turned the now bewildered Wu Jin in a different direction and chased it out, saying as he walked, "Look at you, why are you running around for no reason? What if you get into trouble?"

"If you run around everywhere, it will eventually hurt you. If you look at everything, even a dog will get stye. Do you understand?"

Wu Jin: "..."

Xia Mingyue, "..."

Lu Qiyan, "..."

After Xia Yunji chased Wu Jin outside, he came back with a whoosh, closed the door with his hand, and said with a playful smile, "It's okay, it's okay, you can continue, continue."

Xia Mingyue, "..."

Lu Qiyan, "..."

Keep going! The two of them were immediately embarrassed and sat back on the stools they had just sat on. Especially Lu Qiyan, he coughed lightly and said, "I've finished eating the pomegranate. Peel a pear and share it with my wife."

"No, we can't share this pear. Then let's each have one and eat together?"

"My lady, you only listened to a small part of the storybook last night. Let me continue to tell you. Yes, where did we leave off yesterday?"

When people are embarrassed, they often appear particularly flustered.

Lu Qiyan fully concretized this sentence at this time, which made Xia Mingyue couldn't help laughing and narrowed her eyes.

My husband is a decisive military commander after all. He is always as calm as a mountain when facing things. But at this moment...

Was she too enthusiastic and proactive just now?
Xia Mingyue tilted her head and thought again and again.

"What are you thinking about, madam?" Lu Qiyan asked when he saw Xia Mingyue was distracted.

"I was thinking about what happened just now..."

The rest of Xia Mingyue's words were blocked.

After a long time, until she was having trouble breathing and her face was a little red, Lu Qiyan stood up and kissed Xia Mingyue on the cheek, "Reciprocity is the best way to repay kindness."

Xia Mingyue, "..."

It wasn't because she was too enthusiastic and scared Lu Qiyan, it was obvious that Lu Qiyan was harboring evil intentions and was planning to do something worse!

Don’t underestimate your husband from now on!

Here, Xia Yunji led Wu Jin and continued to complain, "This inn is small and has many people living in it. Although you are a free dog, you are following us now, representing the face of the Great Zhou Kingdom. You must not run away casually."

"You can't just enter this room casually. If you offend anyone, I will have to plead for you. Don't you think this will cause trouble for me..."

Wu Jin: "..."

Suddenly I felt a little heavy on my back, as if I was carrying something for no reason?
Dinner was quickly prepared. In addition to the food prepared in the inn, the braised rabbit meat prepared by Captain Wan was also served on the table.

The braised rabbit meat made under Xia Mingyue's guidance has a rich flavor, a soft texture, and tastes very delicious.

"It's a wild rabbit indeed. It tastes better than the domestic rabbits we usually buy."

"This braised rabbit is so tasty that I feel like I could have eaten two more pancakes."

"Actually, this braised rabbit meat is good in every way, except for one thing..."

"What's wrong?"

"The portion is too small, not enough to eat. It's just a small bowl, not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth. If it were a big pot, I can't imagine how delicious it would be!"

"You idiot, there are only a few rabbits in total, it's good enough to have a bowl, but you actually want a pot, you are so bold!"

"People always have to have some dreams."

"Then you should go to bed early tonight, you can dream about anything..."

The delicious braised rabbit meat sparked heated discussions among the crowd at the dinner that night, and was highly praised by Xia Mingyue and others.

While eating, Xia Yunji sighed repeatedly, "It tastes a bit like the braised rabbit meat my sister made. It's really delicious, but I feel like it's missing something."

What's missing?
Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "It's probably because we were on the road and the spices we brought with us were not as abundant as those at home, so the flavor was a little lacking."

"Probably." Xia Yunji nodded.

What my sister said makes sense, but it seems that it’s not just a problem of spices.

What is missing?
