The cameraman was filming Matthew up close in order to record his explanation as to why he picked those.

But then Matthew just grinned and said, "What? We are making the same popsicles! Can't I just choose the same ingredients? I don't remember any rules that prohibit it. Ahem! I mean... It just so happened that we have the same idea.

The cameraman was speechless. Was Matthew being serious? Even Maria was a bit stunned.

The director blinked his eyes a few times, as if confirming if it really happened. After a short while, he commented, "I didn't expect this guy to be so thick-skinned."

Matthew still felt a bit awkward about it, so he approached Maria and asked in a low voice, "I actually just rarely eat sweets. As for this bunny-shaped popsicle... Do you have any idea on how to make it?" Maria found it to be surprising.

A man who fried meat with fruit would say that he seldom eat sweets?

However, she had no time to argue with him about that for now.

Maria then walked to the Long table with a blank expression on her face and took water, glucose, some food coloring, flavoring, whey powder, yolk powder, and salt.

“Maria... You sure picked a lot of ingredients. To be honest, I don't understand the function of any of them. But isn't it a little too unusual to use salt in making a popsicle?"

A confused look appeared on Matthew's face. For him, it seemed that Maria had made a big mistake, but he was embarrassed to directly point it out to her.

"The salt? No, that is a must," Maria replied firmly. "It's just like adding sugar to a meat dish to make it tastier. It may not be too known, but a Little salt on desserts can make a huge difference."

Matthew was confused.

However, judging from the way Maria talked, he had a feeling that he could trust her.

“Really?” He cautiously asked again, just to be sure.

"Yeah." Maria nodded. Then, she began to work.

It wasn't very difficult. She just needed to make a paste according to the recipe and put it into molds before freezing them. She was quite skillful in that aspect.

Eventually, she poured all of the ingredients into the pot. She seemed completely in command. Matthew, on the other hand, stood aside and watched her. He became even more shocked as time passed.

“Maria...” he trailed off.

“What is it?" Maria asked as she stopped for a moment. She soon realized that she was in a reality show and that they should be working as a team. She couldn't just ignore Matthew.

“Please give me three hundred milliliters of water, Matthew," she told him.

“Okay," Matthew quickly replied. Now that he had a task at hand, he kept his doubts to himself.

He obediently went to fill the measuring cup with water as he cautiously Looked at the measurement. He didn't give it to Maria until he was sure that the cup was filled with exactly three hundred milliliters of water.

“Thanks. Now could you please blend these ingredients until it Looks like a smooth paste?" Maria asked as she pointed at the pot.

“Sure. I'll be right on it!" Matthew energetically replied.
