Ignatz did take a keen interest in the young man.
At first, he just regarded Kawei as a so-called smart person who was forced into a desperate situation and used flattery to get himself out of trouble. He doesn't hate this kind of person, maybe he would do the same thing. In addition, I also enjoyed it quite a lot, so I chose to help.
Of course, Kawei's own innocence is most important. If Witte really had evidence, Ignatz wouldn't be able to mess around.
But after this round of questions and answers, Ignatz needs to make some changes to his evaluation of Kawei.
In order to draw realistic characters, art students need to spend a lot of time learning human anatomy, but that kind of anatomy is only superficial. What they need to master is the proportions, lines and beauty shown by the surface muscles. It is impossible for normal art students to study what is underneath the muscles.
What distinguishes Kawei from them is his special emphasis on blood vessels.
Blood vessels are not even part of the anatomy of fine art, as they do not contribute to the portraiture of the subject. But in the eyes of surgeons, blood vessels are the channels of life. Familiar with the distribution of blood vessels in the limbs, you can control the amount of bleeding during amputation surgery. As long as the amount of bleeding is controlled, the patient's chance of survival will be greatly increased.
The second point that deserves Ignatz's attention is that Kawei's answer was fluent enough without any mistakes or omissions, and he didn't even think too much.
You know, even medical students, those aristocratic students who think highly of themselves, may be able to recite all the anatomical structures and give the correct answer at a certain position on the anatomy diagram pointed by the teacher. But if they were asked to answer Werther's question of practical study and application, few of them would give a complete answer.
Memorization and utilization are two completely different concepts. Ignatz fully understands this and is convinced that Kawei has the talent to apply anatomical knowledge to surgical operations.
So after leaving the police station, he specially stayed with this "student", hoping to have a good talk.
It was past five o'clock in the afternoon, so Ignatz simply took him to a restaurant next to the police station: "Let's have dinner together, I'll treat you."
Kawei is not a novice in this industry, and he knows exactly what the answer he just said will bring. A young man who has not studied in a professional medical school can actually explain the anatomy of the upper arm in such detail. Even in the 21st century before Kawei lived, he could be regarded as a model of self-taught talent.
It was dinner time now, and there was a good restaurant nearby. Plus, Kawei was a poor man, so it was impossible for him to eat such high-end food.
Given the right time, location, and people, eating is definitely Ignatz's first choice when talking.
It's really time for Kawi to have a good meal.
His stomach and intestines had been empty since morning. There were leftover black bread, strange-smelling milk and polenta in the room, but he seemed to have no appetite and didn't know how to eat.
"It's true that I haven't eaten anything for a day."
Kawei complained and followed Ignaz into the restaurant door.
As a well-known French restaurant, it almost only accepts nobles and celebrities. Although there is no explicit regulation on the identity of guests, this has already become a consensus in the high-end catering industry.
Even with Ignatz accompanying him, the waiter at the door still hesitated for a while when he saw Kavi, fearing that the child did not understand the rules and would affect others' dining.
Anyone will find a way to reconcile when encountering such resistance, and Kawei is no exception. It is not a commendable thing to put a baron who has enthusiastically helped him into a dilemma.
"Forget it, Teacher Ignatz, I think we should go somewhere else to eat."
It's nothing more than a meal. Kawei doesn't have high requirements for food. As long as he can eat enough, the taste is normal, and he doesn't have a bad stomach. Moreover, eating is just an accessory to chatting and is just a relatively comfortable space.
But Ignatz insisted on taking him into the store, his attitude was firm, even a little tough.
After struggling for a long time, Kawei was allowed in by the store manager thanks to Ignatz's status as a baron and an excess tip of 10 kronor. In addition, he must maintain absolute silence after entering the store, cannot grab food directly with his hands, cannot speak loudly, and the selected table must also be far away from the center.
He was wearing a "famous brand" and Ignatz was by his side, but the eyes of the surrounding customers and waiters were still not friendly.
Kawi felt like a lone gazelle in their eyes, accidentally intruding into the territory of the big cats. Before tasting the tender grass on the ground, you may have to consider your own survival first.
Ignatz seemed particularly relaxed: "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
"This store is so beautiful. Seeing it with your own eyes is more real than other people's written descriptions." Kawei looked around and did not pay attention to those knife-like eyes. "The chair cushions are very soft to sit on, and they are better than mine. The beds are comfortable.”
Ignatz was a little surprised: "Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Kawei smiled: "As long as I'm not embarrassed, they will be the ones embarrassed."
At this moment, at a dining table not far away, a young man and woman suddenly stood up, seeming to have made some drastic decision. They gently wiped the corners of their mouths, placed their knives and forks, picked up their dress jackets, turned around and walked towards the door.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Kawei and said plausibly: "This restaurant will definitely be disgraced because of this decision. It's just a pity that pigeon breast caramel apple salad... "
Kawei was actually just talking casually. Unexpectedly, some people actually insisted on "principles" and left the meeting. This seemingly irrational behavior obviously caused a chain reaction, and soon two other tables of guests also got up and left the restaurant.
This was the underlying reason why Ignatz insisted on bringing him here.
Surgeons in the 19th century did not have an operating room. Instead, they had a very open place like a theater. Especially in the art palace Vienna, every operation they perform is a gorgeous improvisation, and every decision and action will be exposed to the audience's vision.
It is inevitable to perform badly, so it is a compulsory course for every surgeon to endure public criticism and leave the meeting.
In this lesson of "not embarrassing yourself," Musil failed, but Ignatz succeeded. While learning lessons from each failure, he also developed a face as thick as a city wall. Therefore, when teaching in schools, he often chooses to make those students accustomed to "embarrassment".
"So many people left, the store manager suffered a huge loss."
Ignatz was still fuming, hoping to find a hint of guilt and uneasiness on Kavi's face. However, he didn't find anything. Instead, he laughed out loud at what Kawei said next: "It's a pity that those dishes on their table are missing. Can I pack them up and take them away?"
"This is too exaggerated."
As a noble, Ignatz didn't know what Kawi usually ate. With his monthly salary of 550 Hellers, he can only afford bread, potatoes and polenta. Sometimes he can also eat noodles, but the taste is not very good. (1)
If you want to eat eggs, buy cracked eggs that others don’t want. You can only buy damaged fruits. Kawei rarely buys milk, which is more expensive than bread, because although milk is more nutritious, it is not cost-effective for him and is not as filling as cornstarch.
Meat is also available, but most of the time it’s just some offcuts and offal.
In this way, he may not be able to eat eggs and fruits once a week, and he may not be able to eat meat once a month. His current thin appearance is due to this kind of diet structure.
Classes have existed since ancient times. It is impossible for Ignatz to change it. The only thing he can do is to help him when he is in a good mood and let himself have a god-like addiction: "Don't worry, before leaving I’ll ask the store manager to make an extra portion for you to take back, there’s no need to take other people’s leftovers.”
"It seems that Teacher Ignatz is really rich, and the prices on the menu are not cheap."
"It doesn't matter, I can still afford this expense."
Since the words came to this point, Kawei was not polite to him and immediately ordered the famous dishes recommended on the menu.
Beef salad as an appetizer, fried cod, stewed partridge with red legs as a hot appetizer, creamy salmon pasta as the main course, accompanied by dessert cakes and a few fruits. Just such a French meal cost him a full year's salary from his original gardening job, 62 crowns.
After eating, he didn't forget to bring a set meal from the restaurant for tomorrow's lunch.
The basic style is three dishes, one soup and dessert of your choice within a certain range, with unlimited bread. These include pheasant soup, braised potatoes, pan-seared halibut, sage and red wine braised beef, strawberry crepes and plenty of baguettes.
That alone cost another 35 kronor.
"You're really not polite to me..."
Ignatz looked at his wallet and suddenly realized that the young man in front of him seemed to have no need to get used to being "embarrassed". He might be thicker-skinned than himself.
...
The restaurant sells French food cooked by French palace chefs, but Kawi completely ignores the essence of French food. Instead, he pours everything into his stomach in a flurry of meals, which promotes the deep-rooted sentiment of the surgeon community. Eating style.
Regardless of meal etiquette or sitting posture, Kawei scored zero points. The only thing that can satisfy people is his proficiency in using knives and forks.
"Thank you for your patronage. Please walk slowly and take your belongings with you..." The store manager made a gesture of invitation. After passing Ignatz, he looked up at Kawei who was following behind. , said with a wry smile, "Please Baron not to bring him here again in the future."
"Haha, I really caused trouble for you."
Ignatz also bowed slightly to express his apology, but quickly brought Kavila to his side, "I will not bring him here again, because he will come alone. With the Department of Surgery, Vienna Municipal General Hospital, Come to dine as a doctor."
