Chapter 253: Sad Joy
Maybe Li Wenjin said it too easily, or maybe Xu Zhiyan was diverted too much energy after becoming pregnant, so she was successfully fooled by him, and she obediently held Qingmei in her mouth.

"Ok?"

Xu Zhiyan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Li Wenjin's heart tightened, worried that it would be too sour, but before she could say anything, she saw her chewing.

"It's not sour, but I do feel that my stomach is less turbulent."

To be honest, she had never touched sour fruits like green plums in the past. Just licking them would make her teeth taste bad, but today she even licked the cores and they still didn't feel sour.

[Pregnancy is so amazing. Things I didn’t eat before feel good now. Things I like to eat feel off-putting even if I smell them. 】

She couldn't help but lick her lips as she thought about it.

[I really want to eat meat, but I feel uncomfortable when I smell it. 】

Xu Zhiyan felt very wronged.

Li Wenjin also scratched his head and became anxious.

The guardian ate several green plums and made sure she was fine, so he entrusted her to his servants to take care of her. He devoted himself to the research and development of menus for pregnant women. In just one and a half days, he managed to come up with several dishes.

A guard cautiously proposed an idea.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess likes to eat sour food now. Why don't you make the meat into something sour and sweet? Maybe the Crown Princess will be able to eat it."

Li Wenjin's eyes lit up.

"Makes sense!"

He rolled up his sleeves and did it, and the guard who suggested it also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just kidding, if he doesn't say anything, His Highness will definitely prepare a lot of dishes for them to try. Even if he has two stomachs, he can't bear to eat like this. After giving some suggestions, maybe he can eat less.

It turns out that this advice is correct.

Because Xu Zhiyan didn't need to shout, she was attracted by the sweet and sour taste. Like a greedy kitten, she stayed by Li Wenjin's side, watching him cook with her eyes. During this period, she was not idle, saying all kinds of compliments. Open your mouth and come.

Li Wenjin was so praised that she was so excited that when the food was ready, the first bite was cooled and brought to her mouth.

She bit into it with great anticipation, but the meat just passed through her mouth and was spat out.

"It's so fishy!"

Li Wenjin's pupils dilated in shock. She lowered her head and took a sip. She tasted nothing but the smell of meat wrapped in sweet and greasy sauce.

Seeing his dazed look, Xu Zhiyan knew what his answer was. She sat back on the carriage with her mouth depressed and dejectedly.

[Hey, forget it, I will be hungry for a while at most. Anyway, I don’t think I will be happy for too long, a month at most. 】

Some pregnant women are unhappy from the beginning to the end. That kind of thing is suffering, so in her heart, she feels that one month is already a short period of time. But when Li Wenjin heard her voice, her spoon was so anxious that there were cracks in it.

No, if you don't eat meat for a month, you will starve to death.

He had to think of a way to let her eat as much as possible.

Of course, before that, I have to get some green plums for others.

Li Wenjin glanced at Xu Zhiyan eating the green plums as melon seeds, and felt as if her teeth were about to fall apart, so she quickly looked away.

With this posture, there will definitely not be enough left to last for a long time.

He quietly picked up a horse and headed for the nearest town.

Because he was single and was good at equestrian skills, Li Wenjin ran very fast, but even so, it still took him a full hour to reach his destination. This time he bought a lot of green plums and other food.

The store owner sighed while giving him the bag.

"Is my little wife at home pregnant? You are so considerate. I bought so many snacks. Is it because she is so happy that she can't eat? We have a trick, which is to steam rice with these green plums. The steamed rice is sour and sweet. No matter how serious the illness is, it can still satisfy your appetite!"

This nagging got to Li Wenjin's heart. He couldn't help but answer.

"What should I do if I don't eat meat? I can't eat any meat. It's all made into sweet and sour food, and I have to spit it out once it's in my mouth."

The storekeeper clicked his tongue.

"Other people's little daughters-in-law have to do everything they can to eat meat. Your family is so lucky, and they have to be coaxed to eat it. But I really have a trick for this."

"When I was young, I had a very serious case of ecstasy. I couldn't even retain water. I ended up soaking the ingredients in the juice extracted from a green fruit and then cooking them. I could eat some of the food I made. "

"I don't have that green fruit here. I remember that one of the stalls we set up today sells it. It's over there. You can go look for it yourself."

The store owner couldn't remember it clearly, so he could only draw a general circle.

Li Wenjin went looking for it without hesitation.

His hard work paid off and he found it. At that time, the stall owner was only half numb.

Thinking of Xu Zhiyan's uncomfortable look, Li Wenjin wrapped the rest and returned to the camp with various things.

As soon as they entered the camp, they were greeted by Xu Zhiyan's red eyes.

Her voice was hoarse and aggrieved.

"Where were you just now? I can't find you!"

It was not unheard of for her to disappear for a period of time to do things without saying hello, but this time her mood swings were extreme, and her eyelids became lighter. No, after just sitting for a while, she was about to burst into tears.

After finally getting the person back, I couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears.

Xiaoxi was so anxious that her hands shook as she wiped her tears.

Li Wenjin quickly stepped forward and hugged her, patting her back as if coaxing a baby.

"Okay, okay, I just went to buy you food. I also asked experienced people for advice and got you a solution to the problem of not being able to eat because you are too happy."

Like Xianbao, he told people the specific things he bought and their uses.

She originally thought that the little guy in her arms would jump up with joy, but why was she not happy at all when she saw it.

Li Wenjin calmed down her voice little by little, and strengthened the hand that was originally holding her shoulders.

"what happened?"

"It's all my fault. It doesn't matter if others are not as happy as I am. They can't eat as fast as I do."

[If I knew I had to travel so far to buy green plums, I would have eaten sparingly no matter what. 】

Li Wenjin wiped the corners of his lips in a funny manner.

"What are you thinking about? As long as it allows you to eat, it doesn't matter how difficult it is to buy."

Xu Zhiyan was so moved that she was reluctant to let go.

Li Wenjin had no choice but to let her be a mere accessory.

Fortunately, he only needed to pound the green berries to extract the juice, and then soak the cut meat, so that he could free his hands to coax his wife.

But to be honest, since he had time, she didn't need to coax him. She would just chat occasionally, and just wait quietly until the green juice soaking time arrived.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the red flesh, frowned quietly and stepped back a little.

"Can I really eat meat that has been soaked and cooked?"

"You won't know until you try it."

[Okay, just give it a try. The worst result is that you will vomit again. 】
