"The assessment time has already started. If you can't find ingredients and make a dish within 2 hours, you'll fail!"
Hinata-ko, eating her shredded seaweed, saw the students standing there blankly, at a loss, and kindly reminded them.
"Can we form teams? After all, we need to find ingredients and cook, so time is very tight for us."
At this moment, Takumi stepped forward and asked Hinata-ko.
"Yes, but a maximum of two people per team."
Hinata-ko gently rubbed her chin, thought carefully, and finally reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, brother, let's go."
Subsequently, Takumi quickly called his brother Isami, and together they went out to search for ingredients.
Time was indeed very tight, as Takumi said, so many students began to team up, then took fishing rods and live fish buckets, and went out fishing!
"As I expected, most people can only think of fishing."
Seeing this, Hinata-ko could only sigh deeply.
...
In European countries, eating duck has always been a high-class choice.
So, it's not that Western cuisine doesn't eat duck, but rather that some Western restaurants lack the skill and confidence to make authentic duck dishes!
While many people focused their attention on the fish in the stream, Takumi and Isami, the brothers, brought back a duck.
"It's a duck?"
Hinata-ko, who was very bored, couldn't help but her eyes slightly lit up.
At the same time, Takumi didn't hesitate or linger.
He gripped a half-moon knife with both hands and forcefully cut the duck on the chopping board.
In an instant, the explosive force was like a fierce beast revealing its sharp fangs, astonishing even the experienced Hinata-ko!
Don't let the heavy and fierce force deceive you; beneath the roughness, there was a touch of delicacy.
In a flash, all parts of the duck were perfectly cut out. Then, he took the breast meat, sprinkled it with salt and black pepper, and spread it evenly.
"Brother, your turn."
Next, Takumi's gaze sharpened, and he handed the half-moon knife to his brother Isami.
"Okay, brother, leave the next steps to me."
After taking the half-moon knife, the usually kind-faced Isami suddenly became very fierce, exuding a chilling aura.
Then, he directly used the fastest speed to chop the rosemary and garlic on the chopping board, sprinkling them on the surface of the duck meat.
He gently pressed, allowing the seasonings to fully penetrate.
Then, he placed the marinated duck meat into a fresh-keeping bag.
He poured in an appropriate amount of olive oil, sealed the bag, and began marinating.
"These two..."
The entire process naturally thrilled Hinata-ko.
The cooking styles of these brothers were always completely different from their personalities; one emphasized strength, while the other emphasized speed.
However, when they cooperated, there was an invisible and profound tacit agreement, making it very perfect and harmonious.
Thus, unknowingly, Hinata-ko's heart began to fill with anticipation.
...
After marinating, it was placed in the oven to bake.
The oven was preheated to 180 degrees Celsius.
It was baked for 40 minutes until the surface of the duck meat turned golden yellow, and finally, a special seasoning was applied after taking it out.
Thus, a plate of Italian roasted duck appeared before Hinata-ko.
"I didn't expect that in less than an hour, you would be able to find ingredients and make a dish."
Looking at the roasted duck in front of her, Hinata-ko's eyes held a hint of admiration, and she said with satisfaction.
"Italian cuisine is different from French cuisine."
"It emphasizes simplicity, freshness, and naturalness, focusing only on the quality and combination of ingredients, rather than excessive seasoning and cooking."
"Moreover, I don't like to drag out a dish and make diners wait for a long time."
Takumi, hearing this, did not show a triumphant expression, but responded calmly and composedly.
"Good, not bad."
"To have such an understanding proves that you are not a pretentious student."
Hinata-ko nodded.
Immediately, under the gaze of the two brothers, she cut a small piece of roasted duck breast and slowly put it into her mouth, savoring it carefully.
