Shokuki: My daughter is Erina

Soon lecturer Richard finished the name call, and then he looked at the students present and said:

"Now that all the students have arrived, I will start the formal lecture. "

"I have investigated the learning progress of your class before, and in the first and second years of junior high school, the students have learned a rough theoretical knowledge about the types of cooking styles in Western countries!".

"And in your third year of junior high school, you will learn these theoretical knowledge more systematically!"

"As a chef, if you want to be able to face any unexpected situation in the kitchen anytime and anywhere, you need to have enough experience, and theoretical knowledge of gastronomy is extremely important!"

"In today's lesson, I would like to talk about the evolution and development of French cuisine. "

"Before I start teaching, I would like to ask you a question, do you know when the original French cuisine was born?"

Richard swept his eyes over the class with expectant eyes

He would love someone to stand up and answer that question.

After more than ten seconds of silence in the class, a young boy with eyes raised his hand.

"Mr. Richard, I know this question!".

"The original form of French cuisine was born between the late 15th century and the mid-16th century!"

"Late 15th century to mid-16th century?".

Richard did not give a judgment on whether this answer was right or wrong, but continued to ask:

"As far as I know, there is no introduction to this knowledge point in the courses you have studied before, so I can judge that the answer you gave should be from extracurricular learning, so can I continue to ask, what is the basis for your answer?"

The little boy with glasses is named Nakashima Tamura, and he is a well-known student in Fukiyuki's class, and Shimada Village can be said to be in the top 5 of the class in terms of comprehensive results in practical courses, and the results in the theory exam, Nakashima Tamura is ranked in the top 3 of the whole grade....

Being able to achieve such excellent results is inseparable from Nakashima Tamura's usual efforts.

Outside of class, Nakashima Tamura reads a lot of books and magazines about cooking, so if a teacher asks a question about the outside of the classroom, the students know that it will be time for Nakashima Tamura to show his skills again.

This time, Nakashima Tamura apparently did not disappoint his classmates.

He quickly explained his understanding of the problem to Mr. Richard.

"The main reason why I judge that French cuisine was formed in the 15th and 16th centuries is as follows!"

In 1492, Mr. Gobrun discovered the New World on the sea, and it was because of this event that in the early 15th century, a large number of foods grown in the Americas were introduced to Europe. "

"Peppers, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and other ingredients that are very commonly used in French cuisine also appeared in France during this time!"

"And it's worth noting that the history of French cuisine is inseparable from Italian cuisine!"

"In 1600, Madame Marie de' Medici, an important member of the Medici family, a wealthy Italian family, married King Henry IV of France at the time...."

The combination of Marie Mecchi and Henry II led to the introduction of advanced and refined Italian food, such as pasta, asparagus, basil, sage and marjoram, and of course, Italian sweets and ice cream. In addition to food, Queen Mitch also brought the use of tableware to France, especially forks, which were not used in French cuisine at all before that. "

"It can be seen that the era when French cuisine really took shape was in the 15th and 16th centuries!"

"Of course, at this time, French cuisine was only a preliminary concept, and I think it should be in the middle of the 17th century!"

"In the middle of the seventeenth century, a very famous chef was born in France, and his name was La Varenne!".

At that time, Chef La Varenne wrote a book that played a very important role in the history of French cuisine, "Le Cuisinierfranois". "

"This book is considered to be the first truly French cookbook, and his cookbooks mark a shift in medieval culinary style. He also created new dishes: less greasy, less heavy, and served with vegetables. The book emphasizes the importance of the original taste of food, using local herbs instead of exotic spices, and using local ingredients. On this basis, a number of classic dishes emerged that laid the foundation for French cuisine: BchamelSauce (one of the five major sauces of French cuisine), meatstock, roux butter dough, SauceMadame (the predecessor of Spanish sauce and American BBQ sauce, one of the five major sauces). "

"And during that period, French table manners gradually evolved to become more standardized, unlike in the Middle Ages, where all dishes were served together haphazardly, but were presented separately and in an orderly manner, and at the same time, the terms appetizer, soup, and hot dishes were also completely defined!"

"It can be seen that the real birth and formation of French cuisine is ..... in the time period I am talking about."

After Nakashima Tamura finished speaking, the class suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

Many of my classmates are whispering:

"Nakajima-san's amazing!".

"I didn't expect him to be able to master such a remote knowledge point!".

"This is the legendary Xueba!".

"No wonder he can get such a high score in every theoretical assessment, this insight is too broad!".

"I love French cuisine, but I don't really know much about the history of its creation and development."

Hearing the compliments around him, Nakashimadamura was very proud.

His gaze moved to Nagi Managi, who was sitting by the window.

That's right, Nakashima Tamura is also one of Nagikiri's countless admirers.

The reason why he worked so hard to acquire all kinds of knowledge was that in addition to wanting to improve his talents and values, Nakashima Tamura wanted to let Nagi Shinakita, who ranked first in all subjects in junior high school, take a look at himself...

So every time after answering the teacher's questions in class, Nakashima Tamura hopes that he can get the goddess's side eye.
