Episode 17 recap: The ingenious plan of Chi Yue opens up a sales route.
Chi Yue brewed a good wine and wanted to give it a catchy name. Ji Hong suggested calling it "Xi Kong Wine" since Chi Yue lived in Xi Kong Village. However, the name wasn't impressive enough, and Chi Yue wasn't satisfied. So, they chose "Jade Spring Pot." But when Ji Hong heard this name, he suggested calling it "Soul-Entrancing with One Sip." Chi Yue was very pleased with the suggestion, and soon they hung up a wine flag in front of the wine shop.
Chi Yue had great confidence in the "Soul-Entrancing with One Sip" wine. However, the wine shop was located in a remote area, and for several days, no one showed any interest. Ji Hong gave Chi Yue an idea by bringing a water sign. Immediately, Chi Yue asked Ji Hong for help and they wrote a stack of flyers. Niu Da Sao and the children took to the streets to distribute them. Soon, a crowd gathered in front of the wine shop, and Chi Yue arranged the wine and made a promise that anyone who could drink three bowls of "Soul-Entrancing with One Sip" without getting drunk would receive free drinks for life at the wine shop.
Among the crowd, there was a man who was very skilled at drinking. Chi Yue specially invited him to taste the wine. The man drank three bowls in a row, and the onlookers cheered loudly when they saw that he could still take two steps without any signs of intoxication. However, to their surprise, the man collapsed from the effects of the wine as soon as he came back. The quality of Chi Yue's wine was truly outstanding, and its reputation soared. The onlookers rushed forward to make purchases.
In the yamen, Chun Niang, who was pregnant, received a lot of favor from the mistress of the house. Not only did she consume various nourishing foods every day, but she was also taken care of attentively. This made Li Yi, who entered the house earlier, feel uneasy. The mistress of the house scolded Li Yi for being incompetent and reminded her to manage the wine shop well. Ji Hong wanted to give a bracelet to Chi Yue, but Chi Yue had been away from home for two consecutive days. So, upon the advice of Li Zi Chen and Li Zi Xi, Ji Hong went to the county to look for Chi Yue personally.
