Glancing at the students whose expressions had become relaxed, Xu Kangping chuckled.

The simpler the question seems, the higher the requirements are.

Totsuki Academy is not a 'charity house'.

This upgrade exam is also to select the best from the best and screen out those students who are not outstanding enough.

With 'duck' as the theme, it's impossible to pass the test with just simple cooking.

What's more, five students worked together to make a dish.

It is normal to have high demands.

The examiners will most likely make strict judgments on many aspects, including the way the ingredients are handled, cooking techniques, the accuracy of seasoning, the creativity of the dishes, the overall taste, and the way the dishes are presented.

As long as there is a problem in any aspect, the result will be elimination.

Of course, for their group, passing this was not a problem at all.

What if he and Erina Nakiri couldn't pass it even if they joined forces?

Then there is only one possibility, that is, the examiner has a problem with his sense of taste.

Now the biggest problem for this group is what duck dishes they should make.

"What shall we cook next?"

Xu Kangping glanced at Erina Nakiri and the other three people in the same group and asked.

Hearing the question, Sakaki Ryoko's eyes fell on Xu Kangping and she spoke first.

"Uh, why not just make roast duck."

When it comes to controlling the temperature, Xu Kangping is a master, far surpassing everyone else.

During the regimental food battle, the 'Phoenix Egg' was absolutely stunning and breathtaking.

If Xu Kangping were asked to make roast duck, he would be almost certain to pass the exam without any accidents.

"I'm fine with that."

Xu Kangping looked calm.

Then Xu Kangping turned his gaze to Erina Nakiri, paused, and continued.

"But, we still need to see if everyone agrees..."

Xu Kangping's words were not yet finished.

And Sakaki Ryoko also followed Xu Kangping's gaze and looked at Erina Nakiri thoughtfully.

"I disagree. After all, we are a team."

“Naturally, everyone has to play a role.”

Erina Nakiri spoke, her eyes revealing unquestionable seriousness.

Obviously, he is not prepared to compromise on this matter.

After all, Erina Nakiri doesn't want to be led by others to pass the exam.

And since Erina Nakiri objects.

As Erina Nakiri's secretary, Hisako Arato naturally followed suit in opposing it without hesitation.

Xu Kangping shrugged and gave Sakaki Ryoko a helpless look.

In fact, he had already expected this result.

After all, Erina Nakiri also has her own pride.

In fact, if he wasn't there, Erina Nakiri would probably prefer to make a duck dish herself.

After a moment, Xu Kangping said.

"Well, in that case, let's discuss it together."

“What dish should we make that can showcase each of our strengths while ensuring we pass the exam?”

......................................................

After a heated discussion, Xu Kangping and his five companions finally decided to make a dish called "Bu Ya".

Of course, it is not an ordinary "Bu Ya", but an "Eight Treasures Bu Ya".

Now that the decision had been made, Xu Kangping and the other four naturally began to act immediately.

Xu Kangping used a kitchen knife to cut a slit in the duck's neck and drained the duck's blood.

Then remove the feathers from the duck and wash it.

Then go through the incision you just made.

Skillfully remove all the duck bones and internal organs from it, while ensuring the integrity of the duck body.

Then the pickling process begins.

Wait until the duck is marinated.

Sakaki Ryoko brought over the filling they had just prepared together.

The filling is made of glutinous rice, ham, mushrooms, chestnuts, winter bamboo shoots, lotus seeds, red dates and peas.

The glutinous rice grains are plump and have been steamed to be soft, sticky and fragrant.

The ham is carefully smoked and exudes a unique smoky aroma.

The mushrooms emit an enticing aroma when baked...

After Xu Kangping took the stuffing, he stuffed it into the duck, filling every gap.

Then, use the thin thread cut from the duck intestine to carefully sew up the opening at the duck's neck to ensure that the stuffing does not leak out.

Although Xu Kangping is completely capable of making the incision heal completely.

But at least there is no need to do that now.

Then, the processed duck was handed over to Ibusaki Shun.

Ibuzaki Jun puts it into the prepared pot and steams it.

At this time, the steaming net was already filled with dry-fried rice and tea leaves, emitting a faint burnt aroma.

Slowly pour olive oil along the side of the pan.

Then, Ibusaki Shun lit a small fire and began the patient smoking process.

Time passes by every second.

After about twenty minutes, the duck is smoked and cooked through, emitting a charming aroma.

Ibuzaki Shun carefully took out the smoked duck.

It was handed over to Xu Kangping again.

Xu Kangping took the duck and put it into the boiling oil pan for frying without hesitation.

In an instant, a crackling sound was heard in the oil pan.

The duck rolls in the hot oil, the skin gradually turns golden, the aroma fills the air, and it makes you salivate.

................................................

After the final frying process was completed, the "Eight Treasures Duck" dish was served on the table.

The duck body is an intoxicating golden color.

In the light, it shines with oil.

The aroma that hits your nose is like an invisible hand, gently guiding people's sense of smell and making people salivate.

The duck skin was perfectly crispy.

When the teeth touch each other lightly, you can hear the crisp cracking sound.

The duck meat is tender and juicy, and every texture is full of mellow flavor. It melts in your mouth and makes you intoxicated by its delicate taste.

The eight ingredients wrapped in it undergo wonderful changes under the nourishment of duck oil.

At this moment, it becomes sweet and delicious, blending with the deliciousness of the duck meat to compose a delicious symphony.

The dipping sauce is cleverly made by Sakaki Ryoko using mashed garlic, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine, etc.

When the tender duck meat is dipped in this special dipping sauce.

In an instant, various flavors jump and collide on the tip of the tongue, stimulating a richer and more diverse taste.

It's so addictive.

Every bite seems to be able to taste the taste of happiness, making people intoxicated and forgetting all worries.

This dish of 'Eight Treasures Duck' naturally passed the test without a doubt.

However, among the other five groups of students in the same room, one group was directly eliminated.

And this is just the first exam; the next ones will be even more difficult.

Xu Kangping felt that by the time the promotion exam was over, at least half of the people would be eliminated.

But this is Totsuki Academy.

Only the most outstanding, capable and creative students can continue in Totsuki Academy.

If you don't want to be eliminated, you must constantly improve yourself.
