Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Gu Yiyi Knows How to Pretend

"Ah, hurry, hurry!" Jiang Xiangwan shouted anxiously from the side.

Father Qin took a small plate and scooped some out first.

The freshly cooked honey dates were still steaming, each one coated with syrup, looking like bright amber, crystal clear.

The syrup poured over the honey dates like a sauce, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Jiang Xiangwan couldn’t resist and picked up a chopstick to pop one into her mouth.

The photographer, who was about to take a photo of the freshly cooked dish: "..."

The soft, warm honey date melted in the mouth, the sweetness instantly filling the taste buds, the cooked fruit flesh melting instantly, its skin tender and slightly sweet.

With a gentle press of the tongue, the small date pit was squeezed out, the soft and delicate flesh sliding down the throat.

Jiang Xiangwan’s eyes lit up, feeling unsatisfied, the lingering sweetness in her mouth made her yearn for more.

Han Liheng and Father Qin looked at her: "How is it?"

"Delicious!" Jiang Xiangwan said and was about to grab another, but the chopsticks were snatched away by Han Liheng, who turned them around and popped one into his own mouth.

With the same stunned expression, his eyebrows raised, "Really delicious! Sweet but not greasy, this beats any dessert outside!"

Jiang Xiangwan couldn’t help but glare at him, picked up another pair of chopsticks, and fed one to Gu Zhi, "Zhi Zhi, have a taste, I didn’t expect this to be so good!"

Gu Zhi smiled lightly and graciously tasted one.

Everyone else was tempted but couldn’t leave the pots they were watching, so they could only look on longingly.

Father Qin only scooped out a few, and the two of them finished them off quickly.

Not far away, Gu Yiyi and Qi Yunlin also smelled the aroma.

Especially when the honey dates were freshly scooped out, the scent of dates mixed with syrup, making mouths water incessantly.

There was even a feeling of hunger.

Sun Chaohua couldn’t resist and put down his work to go over and try some.

Gu Yiyi and Qi Yunlin glanced over, swallowing involuntarily.

"Shall we go try some?" Qi Yunlin asked her.

Gu Yiyi hesitated, looked at her work, and shook her head, "You go first, I need to finish cutting these dates."

"Then I won’t go either, I’ll wait for you." Qi Yunlin said hesitantly.

The cameraman following them was inwardly frantic: Why aren’t you going? He wanted to try them too!!

[Really speechless, everyone is eating and not working, only my girl and Director Qi are doing the work.]

[Looks really delicious, I’ve already ordered some, dying of craving in this live broadcast room.]

[If nothing unexpected happens, I mean if nothing unexpected happens, the production team will definitely livestream selling them tomorrow.]

Father Qin scooped up the whole pot and offered it for others to try, and quickly started brewing another batch while the other parents’ dates were almost done too.

Gu Zhi only ate two, then went back to work, Jiang Xiangwan saw that Gu Yiyi and Qi Yunlin hadn’t eaten, so she packed some for them.

Gu Yiyi and Qi Yunlin were grateful, smiling and thanking her.

Jiang Xiangwan waved her hand, "No big deal, Zhi Zhi and I will work, you two should have a few more, they’re really good."

[Aww, Jiang Xiangwan is such an angel, she still cares about Yibao, unlike some people who only care about themselves.]

[The couple worked really hard, doing so much work together.]

[...Gu Yiyi is really good at pretending.]

It took the group a whole afternoon to wash and cut all the dates.

With the help of Father Qin and Mrs. Qin, the honey dates cooked by several families all tasted quite good, authentic.

After the honey dates were cooled, the production team brought out sealed jars for them to package and seal the dates.

The cooled honey dates were also delicious, Jiang Xiangwan couldn’t resist eating many while she packed them until her agent angrily called to warn her, and she reluctantly stopped.

The main point is that these honey dates are really delicious, sweet but not greasy, and very addictive.

The others didn’t dare to eat much, after all, they had to be on camera, still having some awareness of body management.

After cooking all the dates, they packed half of them in sealed jars, and Father Qin and Mrs. Qin fetched many bamboo sieves and drying frames from the village chief to lay the cooled honey dates one by one on the sieves, then placed the sieves on the drying frames, instructing Gu Zhidao: "Zhi Zhi, go get some burnt firewood from the hearths and add some charcoal."

"Okay." Gu Zhi responded, although not knowing what Father Qin and Mrs. Qin intended, she was capable of that task, collecting all the burnt firewood from several stoves and systematically arranging them in the fire pit.

Jiang Xiangwan and a group of people looked on curiously and couldn’t help but ask: "Uncle Qin, what’s this for?"

"This is drying the dates, turning honey dates into dried dates, it’s another way to eat them and easier to preserve." Father Qin explained, "The dried honey dates are crispy, a bit chewy, also very delicious."

Jiang Xiangwan’s eyes shone with excitement, "How long do they need to dry?"

"Overnight, the honey dates dry on these frames until tomorrow morning, and they’ll be ready."

"Wow, that means there will be new goodies to eat!"

"..."

Father Qin silently twitched his mouth.

[hhh Jiang Xiangwan, did you forget you were just warned by your agent?]

[Father Qin’s inner thoughts: This child can really eat. Haha.]

After drying all the remaining honey dates, the work for the day was finally done.

Without realizing it, tallying it up, they had actually made quite a lot of honey dates today, over a hundred bottled.

The director’s team gave a special close-up of all the successfully sealed honey dates and those on the plates.

Each one distinct, like transparent amber soaked in syrup, sparking a screen full of comments from the live broadcast audience:

[Ahhh, I really want to eat the dates my wife personally picked, cut, and cooked!]

[I’ve been craving all afternoon, just one question, will the production team sell them or not? I want to eat the ones Gu Zhi made!]

The production team naturally couldn’t see the live broadcast comments, seeing all the families’ dates were done, they called in the villagers who acted as judges.

"Now, the judges can taste and score, a total score of fifty, each judge has ten points, the one with the highest score is first, and so on."

With those words from the director’s team, the guests finally remembered something, and Han Liheng quickly said: "Wait, didn’t we forget to give the director’s team the worst-tasting honey dates?"

The director’s team: "..."

Sun Chaohua slapped his forehead, "It seems so, but the dates from each family taste pretty good! Giving them would be too good for them."

Even the dates cooked later by the Gu Family tasted quite good because they were afraid of losing, so they got guidance from the Qi Family and Han Family.

The director twitched the corners of his mouth, about to say something when Jiang Xiangwan said: "Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu have overcooked syrup, why not give that to the director’s team?"

The director’s team: "......"
