Christian. Of course, John wouldn't know about the trivial matter of Ikman writing a paper, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

The contribution of this Dutch military doctor is actually the discovery of the role of brown rice in the treatment of beriberi.

The concept was proposed from the study of beriberi, which led to the Nobel Prize in medicine for Ekman forty years later, but Medaro Suzuki, a Japanese who actually purified vitamin B1 twenty years later, did not win the Nobel Prize. And it is very ironic that the Japanese are one of the biggest victims of beriberi, especially the Japanese army, which is strong in combat. You know, in those days, not many people were able to enjoy vegetables and fruits all year round to supplement vitamins, and being able to have an adequate supply of food was already a symbol of wealth.

It is a pity, therefore, that this paper by Aikman is destined to only test Mr. Huntelaar's theory.

In the early days, the Nobel Prize paid more attention to the proposer of the theory, so Aikman won Metaro Suzuki but it didn't work. Of course, on the other hand, it is also because of the white world's consistent discrimination against yellow people. As a modern American and of German descent, John could not have been overlooked by European awards like Medaro Suzuki or Shibazaburo Kitasato, so if the future Nobel Prize in Medicine was to be awarded to a contributor to the vitamin theory, then John? Mr. Huntelaar is one of them......

……

It's another weekend and it's a nice day.

Heinz Manor was finally lively again, but this time not the rumbling of the workers, but the busy servants. From early in the morning, the servants were busy in the garden and in the main building.

It's a good day, John? The day when Mr. Huntelaar entertained guests for the first time in his new home.

By the time Johann left Würzburg and returned to Berlin, the Heinz estate was finally fully completed. In fact, the work on the estate was completed as early as July. But Mrs. Brister, after taking her future mistress Anna in for a spin, quickly picked out a lot of faults, and then the workers had to start reworking with a bitter face, and it was not until August that it was really finished.

The next step is to stuff things into the empty house.

The home is naturally customized, and the house will be sent in as soon as it is completed. And one of the best things about this day and age is that there aren't that many chemical products. Therefore, most of the furniture is pure natural and pollution-free, but there is less ventilation and drying. Then, because Johann decided to go to Würzburg on the impromptu basis, Anna took over the rest of the work, such as all kinds of bedding, curtains, kitchen utensils, cutlery, etc., and it took a whole week to finally get it ready.

On his third day back in Berlin, John moved into the brand-new Huntelaar estate.

Seriously, the size of the Huntelaar estate is basically the same as that of the Brister estate, and certainly not comparable to the traditional German aristocratic manor with a farmstead. In fact, if it weren't for the insistence of old Huntelaar, plus the fact that it was relatively close to the Brister family. John prefers to buy a piece of land next to the hospital and build a New York-like house.

A large courtyard and a three-storey main building are basically the main body of the manor.

In order to build the Huntelaar family's base in Europe, the old Huntelaar also invested a lot of money, the three-storey main building covers an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, and the hall downstairs is large enough to hold a medium-sized ball, which makes John shake his head secretly more than once: he doesn't feel that he needs such a big house. It's empty, but it looks deserted, unless he will have seven or eight children with Anna in the future......

"How? Are you still happy with them? ”

Glancing at the servants who were busy preparing. Brister asked with a slight smug look in his eyes.

"Hehe, of course satisfied!"

John nodded and said with a smile: "They are all familiar people, and they don't feel strange at all, so what's not to be satisfied with?" ”

John was naturally very satisfied with his new butler, cook, and a few servants. Because these people were all transferred directly from the Brister family. This had to be admired by Mrs. Brister's carefulness, he knew that although the Huntelaar family had a huge estate in Berlin, after all, it was just starting and had no foundation, so it began when his daughter was engaged to John and the Huntelaar family began to build the manor. He proposed, and after obtaining the consent of the Huntelaar family, a group of people were carefully selected to prepare the manor. During this time, these people have been working at the Brister family, and now they happen to be sent directly.

So even after moving here, John didn't feel strange.

But......

"In the future, I still have to change a group of my own people."

Squinting his eyes slightly, John was already secretly thinking about it in his heart.

Although the eldest lady of the Brister family is about to become the mistress of this manor, John still does not feel completely at ease. The servants in his own house, he still prefers to use the ones he has found, rather than be arranged entirely by the Brister family. And......

Turning around slightly, John suddenly asked, "Sir, do you know where to find oriental chefs in Berlin?" ”

"Oriental chef?"

After listening to John's question, Brister was stunned.

"Yes, Oriental Chef."

Nodding, John chuckled softly: "To be precise, it should be the chef of the Qing Kingdom in the East." You should know that I have lived in that country since I was a child, and I liked the food there, so I wanted to hire a chef from the Qing Kingdom to work at home...... Sir, do you know where to find such a person? ”

John's face was calm when he said this.

He also knows that his experience in China is easy to be questioned, after all, what happened to his mother Elizabeth in this life, and who gave birth to him, is easy to criticize. Old Huntelaar had always been secretive about it, but John never cared about it, and never deliberately concealed his experience.

"This ......"

For John's request, Brister could only frown for a while.

Don't look at the later generations of Chinese restaurants almost all over the world, but it is also very difficult to really stand in the position of high-end restaurants in the Western world. In the 19th century, when Chinese were just opening their eyes to the world, it was even more difficult for Westerners to accept it. In fact, Chinese now generally go to England in Europe, mainly for sailors engaged in the maritime industry. Until decades later, the Chinese in Britain were mainly engaged in the seafaring and laundry industries, and even if there were restaurants, they were limited to their own customers.

And in Germany in this era, there are still very few Chinese.

But after thinking about it, Brister nodded and said, "John, I can help you inquire about this matter." Although the foreign trade of the Qing Dynasty was still controlled by the British, I remember that Bismarck seemed to have issued a bill that set a bonus for the German-Chinese route...... There must have been merchants in Berlin who were actively trading with the Qing state, and I think there should be no problem finding a chef through them. ”

"Hehe, that's great!"

Seeing that Brister had a way, John smiled.

In fact, when he was in New York, he wanted to hire a Chinese chef, but because of the fear of old Huntelaar and the rejection of Chinese in the United States, this wish has never been realized. But in Berlin, on the one hand, Wilhelm II's Yellow Peril theory has not yet been introduced, and on the other hand, he can call the shots himself, so it is very necessary to invite one.

Although it was a little strange, Brister still asked seriously, "John, do you have any specific requirements for this oriental chef?" I've heard that the Qing people seem to have divided their cooking into several cuisines...... Which do you prefer? ”

"Ask for ......"

After a moment of silence, John smiled and said, "It doesn't matter which cuisine it is, but I hope that the chef I want to hire is male, preferably younger, of course, it would be better if I could recruit two......" (to be continued......
