Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Gu Zhi, Are You a Pervert?

"Sister Qin, how about this?"

Mrs. Qin glanced and said, "There seems to be a bit too much sugar, take out about half a bowl, and then cook it. The heat is a bit high, lower the firewood a bit."

As soon as she finished speaking, Father Han and Han Mu immediately followed suit.

A little distance away, Sun’s father and Sun’s mother saw Mrs. Qin willing to speak to them, so they didn’t hesitate to ask her for advice as well.

After all, both Father Qin and Mrs. Qin were honest people, just like them, who wouldn’t lie, so there was no reason not to trust them.

As expected, after Mrs. Qin’s advice, Sun’s father and Sun’s mother felt assured, and the consistency and color of the syrup they produced in the end was just perfect for cooking dates.

Qi’s father, observing this, was somewhat tempted. He looked at Qi’s mother and asked, "Should we go ask them too? After all, this is a livestream, they probably won’t deceive everyone, right?"

Qi’s mother was a bit too proud to do so, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You go, I’ll watch the fire here."

After all, it wasn’t the Qi Family who had a grudge with the Qin Family, she didn’t need to get involved in this mess, she just couldn’t afford to go without dinner tonight.

After saying this, she glanced at Mr. Gu and Gu Mu, "Aren’t you going to ask? The burnt smell is almost seasoned into yours."

Mr. Gu glanced toward Mrs. Qin with a sullen face, and Gu Mu’s face didn’t look too good either, they couldn’t muster up the face to ask.

There’s no way they’d beg the Qin Family for such a thing!

"What’s there to ask," Gu Mu scoffed, "If it doesn’t work out this time, we’ll try again."

They took the burnt pot off the stove, gave it a quick wash, and restarted.

They looked calm on the surface, but inside they were thoroughly annoyed; what a lousy program, with events they were all bad at.

Meanwhile, the audience in the livestream were thoroughly entertained.

[Lol, Jiang Ma’s reliance on Mrs. Qin is just like Jiang Xiangwan’s on Gu Zhi, who gets it? I’ve become a huge fan of both these mother-daughter pairs!]

[Hahaha don’t get too carried away, what about Jiang Dad and Father Qin’s dignity? Morals? Principles? Where’s the Civil Affairs Bureau? Where do I sit?]

[To be honest, the show’s really good at stirring things up. Just as the guests barely "united" for the first time, it seems like there’s a brewing undercurrent among the parents now. The Gu Family didn’t even ask Mrs. Qin for advice after their syrup ended up like that, and Mrs. Qin didn’t offer to help either, hmm, fishy!]

[Although, did the Qin Family forget the main task? Remember the director team needs to eat the most unpalatable candied dates! Can someone remind Zhi Zhi to whip up a culinary disaster?!]

[Thanks for the invite, but I’m totally enchanted by my wife’s beauty, how can someone look so beautiful even while flipping a pot, amazing!]

Soon, the screen was flooded by comments from fans of Little Zhilia.

Just then, Gu Zhi was standing in front of the stove, holding a spatula, and flipping the dates in the pot methodically.

The sugar syrup, boiled on high heat, turned a reddish-brown color, bubbling continuously, like translucent brown diamonds.

With each stir, the syrup soaked a little more into the sliced jujubes, soon fully coating the fruit with a sugary glaze.

The thickened juice, dripping occasionally, looked utterly enticing, making one’s mouth water unwillingly.

Gu Zhi, standing nearby, was naturally drawn to the syrup and the aroma, causing her to steal a few extra glances.

The sweet fragrance is always so appealing.

The audience in the livestream couldn’t resist either.

[Oh my! It smells so good, it looks so tempting, I feel like I can smell it through the screen.]

[Waaah, of course! And it’s made by someone so beautiful, I really want to eat it! Yum yum!]

[I didn’t expect Zhi Zhi could cook too. A bold guess, could it be that she’s also good at it since Mrs. Qin is so talented? I really want to taste the food and candied dates made by my wife’s hands!]

[Amazing, as someone from Shui Town, I’m drooling like crazy. Our local candied dates are truly delicious! When my family cooked them, the aroma would waft for miles, hard-core sweet lovers crave it intensely!]

[Shui Town local +1, I already ordered candied dates when I saw the show yesterday, enjoying them right now hehe. I highly recommend everyone to check out our hometown’s candied dates!]

In the comments, plenty of Shui Town locals began promoting their hometown’s candied dates, and many viewers were asking where to buy them.

The audience couldn’t resist anymore, and naturally, those on set were also incredibly tempted.

Smelling the aroma, the director team’s stomachs began to rumble, but they had to endure it, ensuring not to disrupt the recording atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiangwan and Han Liheng couldn’t contain themselves any longer and headed over to Gu Zhi.

"It smells so good," Jiang Xiangwan couldn’t help but swallow, her eyes glowing with hunger as she stared at the pot in front of Gu Zhi, "Is it done yet? Can it come out of the pot? I really want to eat it, I’m starving!"

Gu Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth but before she could speak, Father Qin commented, "It needs to cook longer until the fruit is soft and the syrup completely soaks in, the texture will be even better then."

"Oh no." Jiang Xiangwan exclaimed in disappointment after hearing this, "Hearing that makes me want to taste it more, I haven’t tried it yet."

Han Liheng was also salivating and couldn’t resist reaching out, but Gu Zhi quickly slapped his hand away, scaring him into retracting it immediately, and forcing him to lick his index finger.

"I just wanted to taste what it’s like," Han Liheng said, glaring at her with discontent, "How can you resist when it’s so fragrant, are you a masochist?"

Gu Zhi rolled her eyes at him in exasperation, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I’ve already eaten."

"!!" Jiang Xiangwan quickly asked, "When?"

"Last night, the auntie next door sent some to my home."

"Oh wow, was it good?"

Gu Zhi paused, recalling the taste and swallowing inadvertently, "It was delicious."

But not too much, it’s too sweet and not friendly for those needing to manage their figure.

Jiang Xiangwan, hearing this, craved it even more. She clung to Gu Zhi’s arm, with her eyes almost falling into the pot, urging:

"I really want to eat it, I’m about to drool to death, Sister Zhi, beautiful sister, my dear Zhi Zhi, please scoop one out for me to taste first."

Gu Zhi: "..."

[Hahaha, wow, Xiang Wan is even acting cute, Zhi Zhi, hurry up and satisfy her!]

[...I’m craving it too, what kind of deliciousness is this that even Gu Zhi can’t resist.]

[I’m so anxious now. When the show does a food event like this but I can’t eat it, I feel personally attacked as if these things are actually happening, the show’s indifference makes me feel heartache, my hand trembles, sweat flows, and my tongue is bitten through, at this moment I truly broke down, broke down completely!!]

Just as Gu Zhi was thinking of ways to refuse her, Father Qin picked up the spatula, stirred the pot, and after checking the softness and color, finally said, "It’s done."
