Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 119

On the school field, Rickon begins to toddle.

Since the little wolf's night walk and sunshine, Rickon has learned to walk unknowingly.

Little Wolf Nocturnal and Sunshine, one on the left and one on the right, guard the little master Rickon.

Night Walk lightly bumped into Rickon's stomach, and Rickon fell to the ground, hugging the two pups and laughing happily.

Domeric, Theon, and Osha, the wild woman, all applauded Rickon on the sidelines of the school field.Sansa and Arya shout Rickon's name.

Mrs. Ballet said to Ed: "Your little son can walk, and your Stark family is now considered to be a thriving population."

"Families with children are lively." Ed said softly, "Mrs. Barbaret, you are not young, you should hurry up and get married, and you will definitely have many children in the future. I think Ferran"

"Ferlan used to be my family's stable boy and was also a horse thief." Mrs. Barbaret interrupted Ed with a smirk. "Stop messing around. I don't think about marrying him right now."

After Mrs. Ballet left, Maester Luwin came over, "Master Ed, are you going to inspect the brewery today?"

The brewery occupied a row of workshops on Craftsman Street outside Winterfell. The manager, Rodri, was fat and tall with a beer belly. He greeted Ed outside the brewery, and Maester Luwin followed behind him.

"Master Ed, with the still, our blueberry wine."

"It's the blue nobleman." Ed corrected.

"The quality of Blue Noble has been significantly improved." Rodri led Ed, Bachelor of Luwin, into the brewery, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of wine.

The flavors of ale, cider, blueberry wine, mead, and beer are intertwined.Many apprentices and workers are busy. The still on the stove is steaming, and the distilled wine is collected in the barrel.

Alcohol is not only a must-have for the northern border to survive the long winter, but it will also become an export commodity in the future in the Ed plan.

Rodri is a resident of Winterfell and the best winemaker in Winterfell. Ed recruited Rodri into the brewery and asked him to be in charge of the wine production in Winterfell.

"Lord Ed, our Blue Nobles choose wild blueberries. I also added some traditional brewing techniques from the north, and with the distiller invented by Lord Ed, the blue nobles brewed are of high quality. Even I, the winemaker, feel intoxicated."

"In addition to blueberry wine, we have also spent a lot of effort on the selection of brewing materials for cider, beer, ale, and mead. We use the best fruits, oats, barley, and honey from our Winterfell beehive. Brewed with care .”

Ed patted Rodriguez on the shoulder, "Do it well, the fine wine of our Winterfell will not only be available to the people in the town of Winterfell and the people in the northern border, but will also be sold well in the Seven Kingdoms and will be sold to freedom." Where are the trading city-states!"

Rodri showed a simple and honest smile, and his beer belly shook violently like a pudding, "Master Ed, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Ed and Maester Luwin walked out of the brewery, bathed in the sun, Maester Luwin stroked the necklace, "Lord Ed, the brewing industry is certainly profitable, but good wine requires a lot of food, apples, blueberries and even honey , can these raw materials be supplied?"

"Don't worry, the Stark Manor is promoting the curved plow, and our productivity will increase." Ed took out a few structural drawings from his sleeve, "The curved plow is not enough, this is a columbine cart, used for sowing , you can manufacture it according to my design drawing."

Maester Luwin looked at the structural diagram and was amazed, "Lord Ed, the amazing wisdom you show always surprises me time and time again."

Before changing it, Maester Luwin would question whether the columbine cart designed by Ed was practical. After seeing Ed’s invention of fine salt refining technology, distiller for wine making and Quyuan plow, they have succeeded in practical use one after another. Luwin The bachelor no longer dared to easily question Ed's invention.

Maester Luwin put the blueprint in his sleeve pocket, and he said, "Major Norman told me that you gave him the prescription for treating wind-cold. He didn't know many herbs, but after he tried them, the efficacy of these herbs was astonishing." I was shocked. Bachelor Norman told me that Duke Ed's medical knowledge is probably not inferior to that of Dr. Ambrose of the Academy City."

"You know, Dr. Ambrose's ring, mask and cane are all made of silver. In the Academy City, silver represents medical knowledge. Dr. Ambrose is considered to be the master of medicine in the Academy City."

Ed lowered his voice, "Low-key! How can I compare with the doctors in the Academy City? Bachelor Luwin, whether it is our medical research or other scientific and technological inventions, must be kept secret."

Maester Luwin smiled mysteriously, "Lord Ed, I can understand that knowledge is wealth. Our bachelor organization must serve the lord of the castle, and we will follow Lord Ed's instructions."

At first, Maester Luwin was worried that Maester Norman, who was good at medicine, Maester Farmer, who was good at agriculture and minerals, and Maester Dost, who was good at mysticism and magic research, would not stay in Winterfell for long. It is not a school city, which is considered to lack knowledge and wisdom.

The original intention of these bachelors coming to Winterfell was only for the unicorns. After the unicorn research was completed, these bachelors would leave Winterfell and return to the Academy.

Today, Ed has shown his strength as an inventor. Bachelor Farmer, Bachelor Dost and Bachelor Norman are all convinced by Ed. They are all willing to stay in Winterfell for a long time, just to witness "Duke Ed's death" The next great invention."

Ed and Maester Luwin walked towards the gate of Winterfell.

"Maester Luwin, Caitlin complained to me a few days ago that the price of soap is too expensive. I think Winterfell should open a soap workshop."

Maester Luwin blinked, "Soap workshop? Lord Eddard, as far as I know, many of the soaps used by nobles and rich merchants in Westeros come from Pentos, Braavos, Myr, Lys and other places. Their soap Better craftsmanship than Westeros."

"In Westeros, only cities like King's Landing and Old Town have soap workshops. The income of soap craftsmen is no worse than that of goldsmiths. It may be difficult to invite them to Winterfell."

Ed shrugged, "I didn't say I would hire a soapmaker, I decided to make soap myself."

Maester Luwin smiled and shook his head: "With all due respect, Lord Ed, it is very difficult for you to succeed. Soap is not the same as inventions such as the plough and the wheel. The soap craft was introduced to the Seven Kingdoms from the continent of Essos. , Many of the soap workshops in the Seven Kingdoms are run by artisans from the Free Trade Cities."

"The soap craft has been handed down, and it has been tested by countless craftsmen before the practice is successful. The Academy also tried to make soap, but it failed. The wisdom of the doctors finally stumbled on a small piece of soap. Lord Ed , For the knowledge of soap making, you lack the most basic understanding, how can you succeed?"
