Student: I am going to study in France. I hope the teacher can introduce French cuisine in detail. Thank you!

The expert replied:

French cuisine is a cooking system that originated in France and spread widely all over the world. The French monarch has a strong kingship, which reached its peak in the period of Louis XIV. The luxurious atmosphere of the palace is very particular about food, and various cooking methods flow into the people by imitating nobles. French cooking pays attention to cooking methods and dining etiquette. France is rich in wine (French: vin) and cheese (fromage), which has become an essential seasoning for French cooking. About 450 kinds of cheeses with different flavors are produced all over France, and each cheese is named after the town where it was originally invented. Some villages and towns, such as Camembert, can't be found on any general map, but this word representing the name of cheese can be found in any French dictionary or even English dictionary.

French cuisine has different characteristics in different regions according to its characteristics. Olive oil is used in southern coastal areas, aquatic products are used in southern and western coastal areas, and meat is used in northern and eastern areas. Generally speaking, people in China don't like being vegetarian.

The more distinctive French cuisines are: frog's leg (grenouille), stewed chicken (coqauvin) and French snail (snail); The staple food is bread, and the bread with French characteristics includes croissant and baguette.

French people pay great attention to etiquette when eating. Generally, a long dining table is used, and the male and female hosts sit at both ends of the dining table. Other family members or guests are arranged on both sides of the table in descending order of importance from the hostess side to the host side. Tableware uses knives, forks and spoons of different shapes. There can only be one dish on the table. Only when the last dish is removed can the second dish be served. However, according to the dining situation, all tableware is placed on both sides of the diner's plate and used from outside to inside.

Generally speaking, the first course is soup, then hors-duvre, and then the main course (Prade? Sistance), and finally dessert (dessert), bread is always available, which is more than that consumed by the British and Americans. Drink liqueur before meals, and serve aquatic products and poultry dishes with dry white wine at meals. Meat dishes with dry red wine. The French consume a lot of wine, which is almost essential for every meal. Unlike British and American laws, minors also agree to drink. French dining etiquette has become a classic model of western banquets.

French restaurants are famous for their luxurious etiquette and flavor. Almost all the most luxurious and expensive restaurants in major cities in the world are French restaurants. An Englishman once complained that flying from London to Paris by Concorde for a meal and then flying back, all the travel expenses together, are cheaper than eating a meal in a French restaurant.

France is a famous food culture country in the world, and different regions of France have different specialties. Because the French attach great importance to food, they need a lot of tableware when eating French food.

In foreign countries, we should pay special attention to safety. Try not to walk alone at night. When you see dangerous people taking the initiative to avoid, try not to go back to your residence too late and lock the door after you go out. If you live in a university town, even if you just go to the public kitchen to carry a plate, your room may be stolen. Such examples are not uncommon.

2. Economy

Living in France needs to sign some contracts frequently, such as telephone and internet. However, students who just went to China, unfamiliar with the language, often signed contracts blindly without knowing the terms of the contract, and were fined for breaching the contract everywhere. So don't be afraid of trouble before signing the contract. Ask if you don't understand. Especially when it comes to saving money, many students often admit that they are unlucky when they encounter problems. And be sure to get a receipt when paying the deposit and rent to the landlord. If the landlord refuses to refund the deposit or deducts most of your deposit for various unreasonable reasons, you can sue him through legal means. France has free lawyers. Don't give your bank account number, password or personal information to others (including telephone companies, Internet companies, EDF of France Power Bureau).

work

80% of students studying in China will work after school, and most of them choose to work in restaurants run by French people because of language problems, and wage arrears also occur from time to time. If this happens, don't be silent. You can sue your boss to protect your rights. The employment of illegal workers is a very serious problem in France. However, while working, you should always know what the purpose of coming to France is. As students, our main task is to study. Because students who don't leave campus are often confused by tens of thousands of RMB per month, they gradually lose themselves and give up their studies. In fact, this is not worth the loss. Of course, this is only the choice of a small number of students, but we should also learn from it.

4. House

The contract reached between the landlord and the tenant on the lease term, rent, miscellaneous fees, advance notice period, guarantee amount, extension method and other matters; The cost of signing a lease is usually borne by the lessee. After being signed by both parties, the lessee shall keep an original as proof of his residence and paid rent.

The rent receipt is the proof of paying the rent every month. When you go through many formalities in France, it is also used as evidence of residence, so you should keep it properly.
