Soon, Instructor Richard finished counting the names. Then he looked at the students and said,"
"Since all the students are here, I'll start my lecture.”
"I've investigated the progress of your class before. In the first and second years of junior high school, the students have roughly learned the theoretical knowledge of western cuisine styles!”
"And in your third year of high school, you will learn these theoretical knowledge more systematically!”
"As a chef, if you want to be able to face any unexpected situation at any time and anywhere in the kitchen, you need to have enough experience, and the theoretical knowledge of cooking is extremely important!”
"In today's class, I mainly want to talk about the evolution and development of French cuisine.”
"Before we officially start teaching, I would like to ask everyone a question. Do you know when the most primitive French cuisine was born?”
Richard glanced at all the members of the class with an expectant look.
He really hoped that someone would bravely stand up and answer this question.
After a dozen seconds of silence, a bespectacled boy raised his hand.
"Teacher Richard, I know this problem!”
"The most primitive French cuisine was born between the end of the 15th century and the middle of the 16th century!”
"From the end of the 15th century to the middle of the 16th century?”
Richard didn't give a right or wrong judgment on this answer, but continued to ask,"
"As far as I know, there is no introduction to this knowledge point in the courses that you have studied before, so I can judge that the answer you gave should be from your extra-cursory studies. Then, may I ask, what is the basis for your answer?”
The bespectacled boy was named Nakajima Tamura. He was a famous top student in Futsuki's class. In terms of practical results, Nakajima Tamura could be said to be ranked in the top five of the class. In terms of theoretical test results, Nakajima Tamura was ranked in the top three of the entire grade.
To be able to achieve such excellent results, it was inseparable from Nakajima's usual hard work.
After class, Nakajima would read a lot of books or magazines about cooking knowledge. Therefore, if a teacher asked a remote question in class, the students would know that it was time for Nakajima to show his skills again.
This time, Nakajima Tamura did not disappoint his classmates.
He quickly explained his understanding of this problem to Professor Richard.
"The reason why I determined that French cuisine was formed between the 15th and 16th centuries is mainly based on the following!”
" In 1492, Mr. Goblin discovered a new continent on the sea. It was also because of this incident that a large number of foods grown in America were imported into Europe in the early 15th century.”
"Chili, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and other ingredients that are very commonly used in French cuisine also appeared in France at this time!”
"And it's worth noting that the history of French cuisine is inseparable from Italian cuisine!”
" In 1600, an important member of the Medici family of Italy, Ms. Mary de Medici, married the then King of France, Henry IV."
" The combination of Mary Medici and Henry II allowed advanced and exquisite Italian food to be introduced to France, such as spaghetti, Asparagus, Basil, Sage, and Marjoram. Of course, there were also Italian desserts and ice cream. In addition to food, Queen Médicchi also brought the use of cutlery to France, especially forks. Before that, French cuisine did not use forks at all.”
"From this, it can be seen that French cuisine should have been formed during the 15th-16th century!”
"Of course, at this time, French cuisine was only a preliminary concept. I think it should be in the middle of the 17th century when it really flourished!”
"In the middle of the 17th century, a very famous chef was born in France. His name was LaVarenne!”
" At that time, Chef LaVarenne wrote a very important book in the history of French cuisine, Le Cuisinier Fran?ois.”
"This book is considered to be the first true French cooking book, and his recipes mark a shift in medieval cooking styles. He had also created new dishes that were not so greasy, not so strong, and were accompanied by vegetables. The book emphasized the importance of the original taste of food, using local herbs instead of exotic spices, and using local ingredients. On this basis, a large number of classic cuisines that laid the foundation of French cuisine emerged: Bchamel Sauce (one of the five major sauces of French cuisine), meatstock meat soup, roux butter flour dough, Sauce Madame (the predecessor of Spanish sauce and American BBQ sauce, one of the five major sauces later), and so on.”
"During that period, French table manners gradually evolved and became more standardized. Unlike the medieval times, where all dishes were served randomly, they were presented separately and orderly. At the same time, the terms appetizer, soup dish, hot dish, and so on were completely defined!”
"It can be seen that the real birth and formation of French cuisine was during this period of time."
After Nakajima Tamura finished speaking, the class suddenly burst into thunderous applause.
Many students were whispering,
" Nakajima is so awesome!"
"I didn't expect him to be able to master such a remote knowledge point!”
"This must be the legendary top student!”
"No wonder he can get such high results in every theory assessment. His knowledge is too broad!”
"Although I like French cuisine, I really don't know much about the history of the creation and development of these French cuisines!”
Hearing the praises around him, Nakajima Tamura was very proud.
His eyes moved to Nagi sitting by the window.
Yes, Nakajima Tamura was also one of Nagi's countless admirers.
The reason why he worked so hard to learn all kinds of knowledge was not only to improve his talent and value, but also to let Nagi Shingo, who ranked first in all subjects in the junior high school, look up to him.
Therefore, every time he answered the teacher's questions in class, Nakajima Tamura hoped that he could get the attention of the goddess.
