Chapter 883: Chapter 883 Gains and Losses in Equal Measure Chapter 883: Chapter 883 Gains and Losses in Equal Measure The third and fifth brothers and their wives had opened their shops and had money in hand, so their mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, looked upon them favorably. She and her husband, Gu Baofu, were now poor, and didn’t have as much silver as the third brother’s family. To her, Mrs. Zhang no longer saw them with the same eyes or treated them as she used to.

Mrs. Zhang felt that Mrs. An cared about the money the third and fifth siblings had, but she never considered the horrible things she had done. How could she make Mrs. An like her?

Mrs. An didn’t care what Mrs. Zhang thought.

Once she recovered from her illness, Mrs. An looked after Gu Chengxiang as usual. Xiangxiang and Xiaoshan, the two children who had been scolded for fighting with Su Yunjin last time, had been disciplined by Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang.

Mrs. An warned the two children not to listen to Mrs. Zhang anymore, and whenever they saw her, they would run away. Seeing the two children who were like little tails following Mrs. An, Mrs. Zhang felt a wave of disdain.

Two little devils.

Born to a father but neglected by a mother.

Ever since the Prince Qi Residence had sent over a plaque to Su Yunjin’s family, their business had become better day by day. Seeing the thriving business at Su Yunjin’s shop made the surrounding shops green with envy.

As for the loquat wine and green plum wine that Su Yunjin had brewed last time, they were ready to be opened today. It was Su Yunjin’s first attempt at making other kinds of fruit wines. She wondered how they would taste?

Su Yunjin was somewhat nervous.

Since it was a trial, and she could not get the proportions right, she made five jars of each type of fruit with different ratios to increase the chances of success. If two or three of them were not pleasing to the palate, the remaining two might still taste good. Su Yunjin first tried the loquat wine she had made.

There were five jars of loquat wine, each made with different proportions. Su Yunjin opened the one to the far left first. As soon as she opened the jar, a fragrant aroma wafted out. Just by smelling this somewhat overly sweet scent, she guessed that the wine in this jar would be too cloying without even tasting it.

As expected, upon tasting a spoonful, it was indeed too sweet. This jar was a failure. She then tried the second jar, which tasted too bland and wasn’t very palatable either. Gu Ya tasted the third jar, “Husband, how does it taste?” Su Yunjin looked at him anxiously.

Gu Ya shook his head honestly at his little wife, causing Su Yunjin to feel a sense of disappointment. She took a spoonful to taste for herself. Although this jar’s flavor was neither sweet nor bland, it lacked distinction and couldn’t be considered good wine.

There were two jars left, and if their flavors were also unsatisfactory, then the loquat wine attempt would be deemed a failure. She continued to taste the remaining jars.

The fourth jar’s flavor also fell short, making Su Yunjin increasingly nervous. It was down to the last jar. Gu Ya tasted it, but his expression gave nothing away.

From Gu Ya’s face, Su Yunjin couldn’t tell whether the wine she had brewed tasted good or not. Gu Ya told her, “Yunjin, this jar’s wine is just average.”

After tasting it herself, Su Yunjin found the wine to be neither bad nor particularly delicious–just an average fruit wine. At least there was one jar that was somewhat palatable, which was somewhat comforting for Su Yunjin.

Besides one jar of the loquat wine turning out okay, the other four jars were a failure. Next was the green plum wine, which Su Yunjin handled similarly to the loquat wine.

Starting from the left, she tasted each in turn. Unlike with the loquat wine, as soon as she tasted the first jar of the plum wine, her face lit up with surprise as she looked toward Gu Ya.

“Husband, it’s good! The flavor of this green plum wine is nice.”
