The French are no less particular about eating than the Chinese, and they pay more attention to the atmosphere and etiquette when eating.

Not only does French cuisine have special utensils for each main course, but there are also special rules for the speed of eating, the placement of utensils during breaks, and even the use of napkins. This is especially true in the homes of the wealthy.

Therefore, as a modern ordinary Chinese who has never eaten Western food, will appreciate the second, but in the face of such a big meal, there will definitely be a little rush.

In such a wonderful dinner, Tang Yunyang, who had just arrived in the treasure land, really couldn't experience that wonderful feeling. Of course this is except for Jane. In addition to Merlin's admiration for her beauty, the rest of the time she just thought silently about Mike. Before Lang came, tell him some details of common sense.

"When you drink soup, you will have bread, don't eat it all, that's enough, just eat some. Also, remember to break it with your hands and break it as much as you eat. No matter how comfortable the stool is, you should sit upright and not lean on the back of the chair. Oh my gosh, I think Jane will regret inviting you to dinner! ”

Mike. Du Lang was clear about Tang Yunyang's way of eating, of course, after knowing his military experience, Mike. Lang also understood that he couldn't be too demanding of Tang Yunyang, just begged him not to have any embarrassing actions on top of dinner.

France is one of the countries in the world rich in wine, champagne and brandy, and the French are very particular about the use of wine in food. Now, they drink some pre-dinner aperitifs, which are said to last up to an hour. Tang Yunyang, who doesn't understand or speak, feels that this time may be very difficult.

Facts have proved that Tang Yunyang's worries are really a superfluous consideration.

In order to make the Chinese who had dinner together not feel restrained, Caser. Merlin used English that he was not so familiar with. And the topic of discussion is to prompt Cather. The main reason why Merlin invited Tang Yunyang to come here.

"Mr. Tang, I heard from Xiaonu that you are very familiar with the Chinese medical tradition, and I am a surgeon myself, I believe we will have a lot of common topics."

Caser. Merlin's impression of China was as follows: "It was a poor, backward, barbaric country, and he could not believe that the Chinese could do anything to the world today, but he did not forget what Napoleon had warned Westerners." ”

"Once China is woken up, the world will be shaken."

In Caser. Merlin didn't necessarily take this sentence to his heart, he was a doctor, and he believed in science more. He didn't believe that a mixture of grass roots and bark could cure a disease.

Listen to Mike. Lang translated, Tang Yunyang nodded: "I also feel very honored to be able to discuss with you the differences between the medical traditions of the two countries!" However, it is a pity that I know very little about Chinese medicine, and only know some knowledge of first aid. ”

Caser. Merlin raised his glass: "Very good, this is what we need most at the moment, especially in this war, this knowledge can save many lives." ”

In the pleasant atmosphere of the aperitif, the conversation began with Chinese medicine, and soon the argument began naturally.

"Mr. Tang, as far as I know, Chinese medicine practitioners have not used stethoscopes until now, but have used their fingers to measure the pulse, and the medicines have basically not been refined. In particular, how do you explain the acupuncture points and meridians in terms of anatomy? Frankly, these techniques remind me of the Indian witch doctors in the Americas, and your Chinese medicine practitioners have many similarities with them! ”

Tang Yunyang, who has almost no knowledge of medicine, especially Chinese medicine, cannot have a technical argument with him at all. However, the slander of traditional Chinese medicine still made Tang Yunyang can't help but refute it.

"Mr. Casser, I don't think I can agree with you. Your words remind me of a question, the needles used in the acupuncture of our Chinese medicine, Western doctors do not use such instruments, can this show that Western medicine is not scientific? I don't think so! In addition, the fact that acupuncture points and meridians are not found in anatomy does not mean that they do not exist. Just as burning Bruno does not stop the Earth from rotating around the Sun. ”

It must be said that Tang Yunyang's rebuttal already contains the smell of gunpowder, and as a modern soldier, it is polite enough to treat him like this when discussing a part of Chinese culture in such a condescending manner.

But in order to cherish the atmosphere of this dinner, Mike. When Lang translated, his words were naturally much more tactful.

"Oh, Caser. Mr. Merlin, I don't think you can question the medical skills of Chinese medicine, after all, some of its methods have been proven to be extremely effective in first aid! ”

Caser. Merlin obviously didn't expect Tang Yunyang to avoid talking about technical details, which only proved that he was not a real doctor. But the fact is that his daughter was saved by the medical skills of China more than 1,000 years ago.

"Yes, the facts can also tell some questions, but as far as I know, the overall level of medical care in China is extremely low, and most people are not able to enjoy effective medical care, what do you think about this?"

Face Cather. Merlin's slander of Chinese medicine, although Tang Yunyang did not have any superfluous expressions on his face. Xiang Cather. Merlin raised his glass, but his words were equally accurate.

"Old Wolf, tell him. The low level of medical care in China is not due to the level of medical technology itself. Just as if Europe had been in the dark ages, would it have been able to develop the level of medicine in Europe today? So, the low level of medical care does not prove anything! ”

Caser. Merlin's answer could not help but make Tang Yunyang speechless, what he was talking about was the current situation in China. It can be seen that when it comes to politics, Cassel. Merlin's words are also very sharp, otherwise how to be a good councilor.

"Yes, Mr. Tang, you have a very reasonable point. So, I just want to know one thing, when will China be able to make it out of the Dark Ages? ”

Yes, when will China emerge from the Dark Ages? That's a very heavy question! This question also made Tang Yunyang, who had just come to this time and space, unable to answer.

The history he knows has changed, so when China will be able to get out of the dark ages, or even whether it can get out of the dark ages of warlord warfare, is an unanswerable question.

After all, there are so many coincidences in history that can change the course of history. But Tang Yunyang's answer this time also made Caster have to admit that he is a very smart person.

"Well, I must admit, Mr. Cather, you stopped me. This is just as unanswerable as when the present war in Europe will end! ”
