Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

Chapter 19 The academic center does not have to be at the center

"Huh?" Kraft was stunned and understood what Kalman was asking. "I thought a medical school with that kind of classroom wouldn't need to be so obscure."

"This is a misunderstanding. Under normal circumstances, the lecture theater with the stone platform is used to demonstrate the treatment of ordinary patients." Professor Kalman explained.

"There are no outsiders here, tell me about something unusual?"

Kalman relaxed a little. It seemed that the new lecturer was indeed a more open-minded person, so he could speak clearly.

"Isn't it unusual? For example, today we have an anatomy course in that classroom tonight." Kalman showed a mysterious smile, folding his hands in front of him, "Although the seminary is right next to it, the church people Never enter our medical school, no exceptions." The last two words are spelled out very clearly.

Kraft really wanted to see the anatomy class at the medical school here. After all, he did not have much experience in anatomy classes at the time.

It may sound like a world separated by several eras. People on both sides still value the integrity of human remains, but their acceptance of such things has changed significantly.

Even for the regular medical majors on the other side of the world, it is not easy to find enough general teachers to teach students. Thinking about it this way, I felt like I was suffocating because I didn't sign a donation before my sudden death.

He still remembers the anatomy class he took. A dozen people gathered around an anatomy teacher, read the oath, and then bowed in thanks. Because there are too many people, usually only half of the dissection table can be used, and the remaining half can be recorded in a notebook next to it. Even though not everyone on the stage had a good view, some of them had to be squeezed to the side and operated in an uncomfortable position.

When he was studying this course, in view of the difficulty of teaching, he even joked that he would donate it to his alma mater after his death. The sign said that this person studied here in such and such a year and studied anatomy here at the same time. It must be very good. Has a dark sense of humor.

In the end, it didn't work out. Who would have thought that staying up all night at such a young age would change one's life in the world? So staying up late is really not advisable.

Thinking of this, Kraft still rejected the professor's invitation this time: "It's a pity. I just didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I have to go home tomorrow. When I get my grandfather's permission, I can stay in Wendeng for a long time. Hong Kong."

"By the way." Before leaving, Kraft remembered the author's mark he saw at the end of "The Structure of the Human Body" yesterday. Out of curiosity, he asked by the way, "I would like to ask about the name of the author who wrote such works as "The Structure of the Human Body". His full name, and his cervical vertebra markings are quite interesting.”

"Oh, you're talking about that. When I first copied this book, I was still studying at Dunling. The original copy of this masterpiece is in the hands of my tutor." Professor Kalman didn't seem surprised by this question. Apparently seeing the fifth cervical vertebra as a smiling face is pretty impressive.

"You know, unlike us, the closer to the center of the kingdom, the more nosy the church likes to meddle. Many times the author just secretly releases his own results, leaving a mark that is different from others. People will find the real name." When talking about this, the professor was not too shy. It didn't matter if he scolded the church a little in private. Everyone was scolding him anyway. "This book is quite old. As far as I know, everyone has been reading it for decades. It’s all about it.”

"Okay, it's been decades. So does he have other works?" Kraft shook his head regretfully. If such a person was given a good research environment, then medicine here would probably be very different.

Kalman spread his hands: "No, otherwise you would have got more than these three books yesterday. I think the author should not have been arrested. If he is found, the Dunling Tribunal will pull him out and burn him with great fanfare for three days. .”

"It would be better to say that he is very smart and does not really think that the meaningless explanation in front of him can make the church look like a fool. At most, it will make the church pinch its nose and acquiesce in the spread of this book. If he really wants to jump out himself, the Inquisition Court has many Find a way to get him to admit to the autopsy.

Not to mention these bad things, I came to Wendeng Port just to get away from it. Do you want to go have lunch together? "

"Of course, knowledge cannot replace bread." Kraft happened to be hungry. From yesterday's delicious biscuits, we knew that Professor Kalman still had a good taste in food.

Unexpectedly, the professor took Kraft to a pub near the college and ordered grilled fish and several large glasses of beer. The whole bar is full of various scholar robes. It seems that this place is very popular among the academic community.

"I have to say, I chose to stay in Wendeng Port because, firstly, this place was suitable for my research, and secondly, I liked the grilled fish here." Kalman had already changed out of his black clothes and moved the plate of grilled fish to Kraft Pushing it in front of Te, finding someone with the same taste made him feel good today, "Especially the mackerel from this restaurant. Not only does it remove the fishy smell, but it also retains the fragrance of the fish itself. The students in the college also like it."

Kraft grabbed one and took a bite on the belly of the fish. It really tasted good. His tongue, which had been tortured by rough bread and hard jerky for many days, had an excellent taste, with a crispy texture on the outside and tender on the inside. This kind of tavern uses the latest catches shipped in, which are really fresh. If not sold out, fresh fish stored without a refrigerator will smell bad in two or three days.

Because the supply is stable, most taverns that serve grilled fish only buy fish for the next day and do not keep any stock until it is used up.

As a seaport, the local diet of Wendeng Port is closely related to the fish caught in the sea. The abundant output of the sea means that this small town is rarely disturbed by food shortages. Human fishing is far from reaching the limit that nature can provide, and many fish species can be caught in large quantities offshore.

Rare and expensive fish like tuna were picked out by chefs from merchants and noble families. The best-tasting common cod and mackerel were sent directly to taverns and served to diners’ tables within a few hours, or at the pier. The nearby fish market sells directly to residents who come to add fresh ingredients to their homes. Others are made into salted fish and dried fish for easy storage and transportation.

There are tourists who come to Woodling regularly every year to sell seafood from Wendeng Port, but the best fresh grilled sea fish can only be eaten in Wendeng Port, and the price is cheap, even for families with unsatisfactory incomes.

Fish is also the most cost-effective local source of nutrition and has long occupied everyone's dining table. With the wisdom of the masses, various methods such as grilled fish, fish soup, and stargazing have been developed.

In the long-term research on fish cooking methods, its level has been continuously improved. Among them, the most classic grilled fish, the craftsmanship has been successfully brought to a level that souls from other worlds would praise in the infinite involution of the local tavern.

However, the local brewing process is really not very good. The beer brewed with hops was improved on the basis of ale, but it was still difficult for Kraft, who was not very fond of alcohol to begin with. Professor Kalman was left alone to enjoy a few large beers.

When saying goodbye, the tipsy Professor Kalman did not forget about the business and expressed that there were many opportunities. He hoped that Kraft would come back to Wenzhou to teach for a long time as soon as possible, so that everyone can work together to promote the development of great causes in this wonderful place far away from the church.
