(Sorry, I made a mistake in the previous chapter.) When I counted the date, I miscounted the time, and I miscalculated the time between Easter and Chinese New Year by a month. Since it's hard to change, that's ...... According to the time of the Spring Festival, it means that the opening of the forum has been moved to February 3. ）

Princess Marita had good luck coming to Switzerland, with sunny days for a week. It was not until the 21st, the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, that the trip to visit the museum in Bern was canceled due to snow.

The phone between Germany and Switzerland was still not connected, but Yannick and the others also sent a telegram to congratulate Zhou Nan on a happy Chinese New Year. It's not a Western holiday, Yannick is too busy to spend the Spring Festival with Zhou Nan.

However, Vera and O'Ely are currently at O'Ely's home in Basel, so they brought Lily to accompany Zhou Nan.

Jean Nord also took Noble and Melissa to Jonas Farm, and gave Zhou Nan a cart of his own wine.

Switzerland is actually very famous for its wines, and the farms here have always been intensively cultivated, and the wines produced in the regions suitable for grape growth are of very good quality.

It's just that the production is too low, so the wine here has always been priceless, and there is almost no export, because there is not enough to drink it yourself, and you have to import French and Italian wines to meet the domestic demand.

Melissa was originally the youngest, but now she has a two-year-old Lily, she enjoys the feeling of being a sister, is very close to Lily, and takes care of Lily everywhere as a sister.

From Jean Nord's introduction to O'Ely, Zhou Nan realized that the Geigy family was not an ordinary person. In Switzerland, their family is also a first-class family in Switzerland, although now the vitality is greatly damaged, and the assets may not be comparable to Rang Nord, but the heritage is much greater than that of Rang Nord.

Zhou Nan knew about the Geigi family before, but it was because of Vera that he learned about it. Looking at the information, it is very one-sided to understand the heritage of a family, and Zhou Nan didn't expect that the KGI family was so powerful.

He couldn't help but think of the experience of another life, he never found Caroline and Vera in the later life, and Vera was also married to this O'Eli in another life?

Because he doesn't know about the business world, he doesn't know even more. In another life, there was a woman named Villao Elihoffmann, who was once the richest man in the world and for a long time the richest man in Switzerland until her death in 2002.

Let Nord come together with Zhou Nan because of the relationship of interests, but now, the relationship between him and Zhou Nan has changed from a simple relationship of interests to a closer relationship.

Even, he has taken the initiative to give up his equal status and lowered his stature to cater to Zhou Nan. This is not only because Zhou Nan's rise is too fast, and the height has been beyond the reach of Nuord, but also because Zhou Nan uses the health preservation technique of the East to make him feel that his physique is getting better.

For the herbs of the East, he did not treat them as witchcraft like ordinary people. Because herbal medicine, as the most advanced treatment for human health, has been going on for thousands of years before the development of the chemical industry in the West, it cannot be witchcraft.

Even a few decades ago, Westerners were able to conquer Africa, conquer South America, and go deep into the rainforests with the herbs of the East.

However, after the development of the chemical industry in the West, the development of medicine in the West has risen rapidly, and the rapid curing effect of chemical drugs on diseases is ahead of traditional Chinese medicine.

But in this era, Chinese medicine is still a medical skill recognized by Westerners, especially in the aristocratic families in the West, who are proud to have a Chinese medicine practitioner.

Western medicine comprehensively suppressed Chinese medicine, which was only in full swing in the sixties and seventies. On the one hand, because of political reasons, the development and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine have been interrupted due to political reasons, and both the source of medicine and doctors have fallen into discontinuity.

On the other hand, the development of Western medicine is too fast, and it has been able to replace the role of Chinese medicine in most areas. Therefore, in order to dominate the market and comprehensively lead the treatment concept of human beings, Western society has begun to completely deny the role of traditional Chinese medicine.

In a few decades, under the influence of this public opinion, even the Oriental people themselves will not dare to believe in traditional Chinese medicine.

But in reality, these are just two different directions in the development of medicine.

The development of Western medicine has always been a purposeful treatment, while Chinese medicine is a comprehensive regulation of body functions. One is fast, one is slow, one is effective, and one is gradual.

The main reason is that the research of TCM has been limited to the surface and cannot analyze the therapeutic effects of TCM from the root, which leads to people's distrust of TCM.

It's like everyone knows that Coptis chinensis is on fire, but why is it on fire, and what are the ingredients that cause this result? Even though Chinese medicine has been researched in this area later, it has not kept up in terms of public opinion and publicity, and many people do not understand it.

This is the simplest example......

When the effects of different combinations of herbs are not scientifically explained, people's trust in the important is of course even lower.

Another more important reason is that it only takes a few years to train a Western doctor, but it may take decades to train a Chinese doctor.

Western medicine can only study one direction for a person, but Chinese medicine requires a doctor to understand the entire discipline in an all-round way. This kind of difficulty has led to the difficulty of Chinese medicine to become a talent, there are too many quacks, and the decline of Chinese medicine is inevitable.

But is it true that the Western medical community completely rejects Chinese medicine? Of course it can't be, in fact, the vast majority of the drug development of Western medicine, except for chemical synthesis, is carried out according to the plant refining technology of traditional Chinese medicine.

In terms of propaganda, the West's denial of TCM is just an academic competition. In fact, any medical researcher knows that the scientific nature of Chinese medicine has always existed, but there is a lack of corresponding understanding.

In this era when Western medicine has not completely denied traditional Chinese medicine, Nord has trust in traditional Chinese medicine, so Zhou Nan asked him to go to the East to collect traditional Chinese medicine, and he did not hesitate to send someone to buy a large number of medicines.

The equivalent of a truckload of Chinese medicine cost Nord a lot of money, but he felt that it was a good deal. Because of the medicine that Zhou Nan gave him, he felt that his physique was getting better, and for him, life was more precious than anything else.

Being able to prolong his life is an important reason for Nord to truly surrender to Zhou Nan.

In the garden, Melissa pulls a small sleigh on which two-year-old Lily sits. Both of them were wrapped like balls, but they were playing happily in the snow.

Running so fast that the sleigh overturned, and Lily was buried in the snow. Melissa hurriedly went back and pulled Lily out like a turnip, and Lily didn't cry, but was still smiling stupidly, obviously thinking it was very funny.

The adults didn't care about them, only O'Elli felt sorry for her daughter, and went over from time to time to see if her clothes were wet and cold.

Zhou Nan was in front of the desk in the large living room, holding a brush, and writing couplets on a stack of cut red paper.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, but it is a very ordinary day in the West. Zhou Nan gave himself a holiday, and Etinny gave them all a holiday, but they all brought their families to visit.

So today's villa is much more lively than usual, and even the large living room, which is rarely used, has been opened.

The men chatted together, and the women got together to chat. Noble, who has autism, is not alone in the corner today, and seeing Zhou Nan writing couplets aroused his interest, and he has been standing by Zhou Nan's side, watching Zhou Nan write words of different shapes on red paper.

Zhou Nan saw that he was interested, so he asked Kelly to bring another brush, taught him to dip, taught him horizontal and vertical skimming, gave him a few pieces of paper, and asked him to follow behind and doodle there.

The soft tip of the pen made him feel very funny, from the beginning the pen was a ball of ink, and gradually he could write a few crooked Chinese characters.

It was also very exciting for Nord to see that he was so interested, because he had never shown any interest in anything.

Marita also came to join in the fun, but she didn't write a decent word, and finally went back to the couplets with Vera in frustration.

At noon, two palace cooks cooked, cooking for forty or fifty people, which made them tired enough. But in the afternoon, everyone began to prepare their own Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

For tonight's dinner, the food materials were prepared very richly, and there were three women just chopping dumplings filling.

Zhou Nan is the general manager of today's dinner, arranging a different division of labor for each woman. Some specialize in dishes, some specialize in preparing ingredients, some specialize in side dishes, and some specialize in making dumplings.

The dumpling filling was prepared by Zhou Nan, and in order to prepare enough food for these dozens of people, two large pots of dumpling filling alone were chopped.

Although these Westerners usually eat and have enough nutrition, they really encounter the food they like, and their combat effectiveness is also very amazing.

The first time she ate dumplings, Marita liked it, Zhou Nan made her another meal, and she ate more than thirty alone. If it weren't for the preparation of many dishes, Zhou Nan was still a little afraid that the filling of these two large pots of dumplings today might not be possible.

Less than five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Nan went into the kitchen. Only Vera can really help him, Audrey and Kelly helped, and finally at seven o'clock, he made eight large pots of hot Chinese food and a large pot of mushroom bone broth that had been slowly brewed since noon.

The cold dishes were made by Held's mother and two court cooks, and there were also eight, this one is not Chinese, there are German sausages, there are English fish cutlets, and so on.

Thanks to Marita's blessing, the dinner also had seafood specially bought from Italy by the royal family. Switzerland is a mountainous country, and the transportation and logistics at this time are not so convenient, except for some marine fish, there are few seafood for sale in Switzerland.

At seven o'clock, except for the English attendants and guards, who had to eat in batches, everyone else was gathered in the large dining room.

Nearly twenty kinds of various delicacies are put together, and the aroma tempts everyone's taste buds and makes people can't help but drool.
