Episode 16 recap: Chiyue made a cake for Li Zixi.
Chiyue knew that Zhang Dagui owned a tavern, which was not only located in a remote area but also had tasteless drinks. As a result, the business was not doing well. Chiyue decided to take a closer look and brought back two barrels of wine to taste. Confirming that they were indeed bland, Chiyue made up her mind to brew the wine herself. As long as she could revitalize the tavern, she would be able to split the profits with Zhang Dagui fifty-fifty. Li Zixi sat alone in the room and when she saw Li Ziqiang return, she asked if he had anything to say to her. Unfortunately, Li Ziqiang only mentioned eating a large pear from the courtyard. When Li Zichen came in, she also asked if he had something to tell her, but Li Zichen only complained about Li Zixi stealing his blanket the previous night, which made Li Zixi feel disappointed.
Seeing the situation, Li Zichen quickly called Chiyue to come in. Li Zixi's face immediately lit up when she saw the large cake that Chiyue had specially made for her. Following Chiyue's suggestion, she made a wish, hoping to be with Chiyue forever. Chiyue had previously discovered some spicy smartweed on the mountain, so this time she picked a bunch of it and busied herself with the children, finally turning it into new wine by fermenting it with wine starter.
It was Chiyue's first time brewing wine, and she was unsure of the outcome. On the day of uncorking the barrel, she couldn't help but feel anxious. Jihong had never seen Chiyue like this before and encouraged her, saying that it would be fine to start over if it didn't work out. Only then did Chiyue let go of her worries, opened one of the barrels, and immediately a fragrant aroma filled the air. Chiyue couldn't help but feel delighted, and after taking a sip, she was very satisfied with the quality of the wine, and a smile appeared on her face.
