The task of washing and cutting was still done by the six of them, while the parents were responsible for making the syrup.
The local villagers would teach them during the process, but they would only demonstrate once, and they needed to remember the techniques and content themselves.
The task of washing and cutting was quite simple; just wash with clean water, then place in the date pressing machine to cut slits in the dates so that the syrup could permeate during cooking.
The difficult part was making the syrup, as any deviation in ingredients or heat control could affect the taste of the candied dates.
The director team never missed a chance to stir things up. After announcing the task, they said:
"Today's task isn't about speed or quantity, but the candied dates cooked at the end will be judged by five villagers chosen by the production team. After tasting, they will score each family's product, and the scores will determine each family's dinner tonight.
