Chapter 9
Seeing Richard's expectant and encouraging eyes, Blowing Snow said helplessly
"Okay, then I'll talk about what I think!"
"But before that, I want to say a few words to Nakajima-san!".
"What a person learns is for enriching himself, not for showing off!"
"If you just want to attract attention in front of others, then no amount of knowledge you can absorb
!"
"It can only enter your head, but not your heart!".
"Nakajima-san, I'm disappointed!"
Hearing Blowing Snow's taunt, Nakajima's lungs were about to explode.
If he was taught a lesson like this by someone with better grades than him, he would pinch his nose and admit it.
But now that he has been educated by the tail of the crane blowing snow, then he can't bear it.
I saw that Nakajima looked at Blowing Snow with a sneer.
"I didn't expect Fuyuki-san to be quite reasonable!".
"I'm sorry, what I just said was a bit rude, I shouldn't have commented on my classmates like this in class!".
"But I don't think there's anything wrong with what I'm saying!"
"Every class time is precious, and I hope that every minute and every second of this precious time will be rewarded."
"The question raised by Mr. Richard is originally a remote type, and Mr. Fuyuki has not even mastered the common sense theory, so I am afraid that he is even more helpless for this kind of remote topic!"
"So, isn't it a waste of all of our time to let Fukiyuki-san's answer questions?"
"Waste of time?".
Blowing snow's eyes are still as calm as ever.
To be honest, a guy who wants to desperately show off his talent in front of the goddess, he really doesn't care about it.
However, Fuyuki doesn't want to be provoked unscrupulously like this.
So, Fuyuki glanced at Nakajima-san and said calmly:
"Then, let me say a few words, and Nakajima-san, you can judge if my thoughts are wasting your time!"
"The question asked by Mr. Richard is about the history and evolution of French cuisine!"
"First of all, before answering this question, we should think about why Mr. Richard asked this question!".
"The first thing we should do as chefs is to classify this question as a culinary theory question rather than a history question!"
"In this question, we need to pay more attention to how many cooking methods, techniques, kitchen utensils, and ingredients have appeared in the development of French cuisine..."
"Nakajima-san said that French cuisine was really born in the 15th and 16th centuries, so I would like to ask, before the 15th century, people living in the territory of France lived by gnawing mud and stones?"
Hearing Blowing Snow's words, Richard's eyes lit up.
He looked at Blowing Snow with great interest, and he wanted to see what Blowing Snow could say next.....
Ignoring Nakajima-san's embarrassed gaze, Fuyuki continued:
"I can answer Nakajima-san with certainty, it is a pity that in the French territory before the 15th century, the people did not live by eating mud and stones!".
"This is a culinary theory class, not a history class, so we don't have to go into the question of the origins of the French, just go straight to the moment the concept of cooking in France emerged!"
"Until the first century B.C., when Caesar, the Roman governor of Gaul, occupied all of Gaul, what the people had been eating was food, not cooking. With the occupation of the land by the Romans, their eating habits gradually spread to the region, and from then on, the concept of different forms of food was developed by the people of mainland France. "
The Romans occupied the land for 500 years, until the 5th century BC, when the Franks conquered Gaul and the Frankish kingdom was formed. Therefore, the eating habits of the Franks gradually began to spread. "
"In my eyes, most of the Frankish eating habits were learned from the Gauls, so they are almost of the same origin..."
"In my eyes, if you really want to judge the original form of French cuisine, it must be from the 1st century BC!"
When Fukiyuki said this, Nakajima-san immediately stood up and raised objections.
"Nonsense!".
"Cooking?Chef-san, do you know what cooking is?".
"Cooking refers to the means by which the otherwise plain and tasteless food becomes colorful through different techniques and different condiments, and the food formed by these methods is called cuisine."
"I think it's ridiculous that Fukiyuki-san called the food eaten by the French people in the first century cuisine...... Something that is made by simply cooking or grilling it is not worthy of being called a dish at all, but simply a food. There's no technical element in it.,Does Fukiyuki-san.,Does it deserve to be called a cuisine?".
Nakajima's statement was affirmed by most of his classmates.
In the eyes of the students, the two terms food and cooking can be said to be two kinds of feelings.
Food can be called food, but food is not necessarily called food.
In the earliest days of the European continent, the eating habits of the people living in this land can be said to be quite monotonous, and the meat of the hunted game was only cooked in a way that was roasted over fire, and even at that time there was no concept of salt, and as for vegetarian food, they were simply eaten raw...
Therefore, in the eyes of Nakajima, this most primitive way of eating is not worthy of being called cuisine at all.
Hearing Nakajima's questioning, Chuixue just smiled indifferently, and did not rush to justify, but asked rhetorically:
"Nakajima-san knows what stone cooking is, and does Nakajima-san know what a stone mortar is?".
"Stone cooking?stone mortar?".
Hearing Blowing Snow's rhetorical question, Nakajima-san's expression was stunned...
He didn't know why Fuyuki suddenly talked about this.
