During Mrs. Melissa’s ninety-minute demonstration culinary course, Elisa endured her drowsiness terribly hard and kept her eyes wide opened. Elisa could only relive when it was already the last minute of Mrs. Melissa’s lecture.
“Last but not least, I will announce that two other dishes of this dishes that will not appear in our midterm and final exams. Due to the upcoming special holidays, Fish a la meuniere with steamed potato and chicken sauteed to the huntress will not be included on midterm and final exams of this year. On the flip side, any other of the remaining twelve dishes may appear on those two exams. I would suggest you to practice hard and to give all your best on your practices, especially for students who have not managed the basic culinary skills so far. You’d better hurry up in order to not fall behind to other students.” Mrs. Melissa said with a solemn face at the end of her demonstration class

“Congratulations, Elisa! You got the perfect scores in three consecutive Bromatology exams. Elisa? Elisa?” The teacher with black hair and a round face, with black square glasses on her face, who weared in a white large robe, looked at the absent-minded Elisa with concerns.
“Ah! Excuse me, Mr. Oscar?” After Elisa heard her name continuously, she finally recovered from the flashback of the special announcement of Mrs. Melissa’s speech at the end of the demonstration class in this morning.
“Take it, these are your three consecutive score test papers. You did such a wonderful job.” Mr. Oscar said with a benign smile
“Wow!” Elisa took the test papers; she rubbed her eyes to checked those papers in disbelief
“It’s really full marks.” Elisa exclaimed in surprise and put the test papers into an orange folder
Then, she listened to Mr. Oscar lecture with wholeheartedness attention, who stood on the podium
“Whether the yogurt found everywhere in the supermarket is natural or unnatural, there are ways to test it. One of them is using the PH tester. Today, we will compare a yogurt produced from a remote village and a common yogurt from the local supermarket. “Mr. Oscar gushed over
“If you use the PH tester color paper to test the yogurt, which shows the value between PH 4.0-4.6, it means that it has more natural ingredients. On the other side, it is added with more water, additives and pigments in it.” Mr. Oscar explained eloquently
Elisa raised her hand and asked suspiciously, “So, if the yogurt we sally drink is outside of the PH value you mentioned, are we actually drinking yogurt that claims to be natural but not necessarily natural?”
“It can be said that this is a case that few consumers know in the food industry.” said Mr. Oscar benignly
After listening to the explanation, Elisa’s curiosity drove her to use the PH tester color paper immediately to test the PH value of the two bottles of yogurt on the table. She jotted down 4.5 PH value for the yogurt from a remote village. Also, she noted down the 2.5 PH value for the yogurt from the supermarket.
When the one-hour Bromatology course was over, Mr. Oscar approached Elisa who was about to leave the laboratory
“Elisa.” Mr. Oscar said in a benign and a kind voice
“Sorry, I must be taking up your time for the next class.” Elisa got flustered as she heard her name
“Don’t worry, that’s not the case. Do you know even there are many yogurts on the market that cannot be called very natural, a large part of them still have stamp of origin and denomination of origin, which proves that their quality is pretty good?” Mr. Oscar gushed over with a kind smile

Elisa’s eyes sparkled while she got to know this fact, her heart beat and she yearned for something from her inner side, though she didn’t know what it was.
“It’s fascinating! It must had been a long process of patience and time for the producers to produce these yogurts before they got the stamp of origin and denomination of origin, right?” Elisa asked in exaltation, while her heart beat with longing.
“That’s right, and…” Mr. Oscar looked at Elisa, who was already leaving from the laboratory with joys, he decided to take his following words back.
Mr. Oscar sighed with a deep smile and uttered, “She is always the last person who leaves the laboratory.” He carefully scanned around, his brows wrinkled affably, roved around chairs that was re-arranged by Elisa, and the clean tables that were wiped with rag by her, as well as experimental equipment that were placed back in the original spots.
