Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 122 Winter Snow Rose Perfume
Ed has always attached great importance to medicine. In Westeros, where the medical level is backward, if the northern border can take the lead in the medical level, it will be able to gain an advantage in the competition with the major regions in the south.

Now, Ed ordered the hunters of Winterfell, the warriors of the forest clan, and beekeepers to carefully collect herbs in the wolf forest and send them to Winterfell.

In Winterfell, Ed ordered a carpenter to make several medicine racks, each with dozens of medicine boxes. Ed had collected thousands of herbs, such as licorice, wolfberry, cassia, money grass, Honeysuckle, American ginseng, angelica, etc., but these are not enough.

Today, whether it is Westeros or the Free Trade City-state, almost all herbs are collected from the wild, and few are artificially planted. Now that the glass farm in Winterfell is constantly expanding, Winterfell will have the conditions for artificially planting herbs.Ed has begun to pay attention to collecting herbal seeds, and later grow herbs in the glass farm.

The glass farm will also grow jasmine, milanum, tuberose, sweet sylvia, etc. These flowers, once grown, can provide raw materials for making perfume and scented candles.

Fortunately, in Winterfell in summer, there are many flowers blooming in the wild and in the manor. Ed does not need to wait for the flowers in the glass farm to bloom, but he can also obtain petals to experiment with perfume.

Ed chose the winter snow rose, which may be the most famous flower in Winterfell and even the northern border.This kind of flower can bloom in any season, especially in winter, the azure winter snow rose is frosty and snowy, exuding a burst of fragrance.

That year, in the "wrong spring", Prince Rhaegar defeated Ser Barristan Selmy "The Fearless" of the Kingsguard at the tourney at Harrenhal. After the match, he rode around his wife in front of countless spectators Ilia dedicated the crown of ice and snow roses to Ed's younger sister Leanna, and crowned Leanna as the "Queen of Love and Beauty".

This move was considered by later generations of historians as the "death knell of the Targaryen Dynasty". However, the story of Prince Rhaegar dedicating the Winter Snow Rose to Lyanna was still sung by countless singers.

On this day, Ed ordered his servants to collect the petals of Dongxue Rose and sent them to the laboratory.

As soon as Sansa and Arya heard that they were going to make perfume, they followed Maester Luwin to the laboratory.The little wolf's nocturnal walk and sunshine also followed. The direwolf grew very fast. In just a few months, it had grown to the size of an ordinary hound.

The direwolf will soon surpass the hounds in size, surpassing the coyotes.

Sansa wore a red velvet gown with a silver belt around her waist, and her long hair fell to her waist.Arya was dirty with a wooden sword hanging from her waist. She was wearing a white woolen jacket and black wool trousers. She looked like a stable boy.

Maester Luwin took notes with a pen.Sansa excitedly said, "Dad, is Winterfell going to make its own perfume?"

Ed smiled, "Of course, just watch it carefully!"

Arya didn't seem to be looking forward to it as much as Sansa, she curled her lips, "Dad, I don't think perfume is useful! Soap is enough, why perfume?"

Sansa said disdainfully: "Arya, you hang out with Hodor, the stable boy, and the kitchen boys all day long. Of course you don't need perfume. Perfume is for ladies, queens, and princesses."

Arya retorted, "Perfume hides the smell, everyone knows that! I'd rather smell like sweat than perfume."

Sansa was not convinced, "Then why are you here? Go and play with your sweaty friend!"

"If you two still quarrel, go out!" Ed was used to Sansa and Arya arguing all day long, but he didn't want the quarrel between his daughters to affect the production of perfume.

Sansa and Arya became quiet now, and the two daughters held the petals of the winter snow rose and placed them on the table.

Seeing the petals of the Winter Snow Rose, Gentle rubbed his hands excitedly, "Lord Ed, in King's Landing, when people mention the Winter Snow Rose, they think of the love story between Miss Lyanna and King Robert! Lyanna The lady is gone, and her beauty is still sung in the Seven Kingdoms, and it is only fitting that we experiment with the perfume of winter snow rose."

In the laboratory, the alchemist Ginter opened the still with Ed.

This still is similar in structure to the still used in the winery. The still is filled with water. Gentle sprinkles flower petals on the water in the still. The servant starts to light the fire. The water boils quickly. Condenser, drops of plant essential oils, fell into a wooden barrel.

Afterwards, Ed ordered the servant to take out the high alcohol, which was the high alcohol that Ed ordered the brewery to brew for perfume.

"Master Ed, what should we do next?" Gentle frowned.

Ed put the essence, water and alcohol in a certain proportion into the container.Rock Seed's adopted son Paulesson began to stir with a stick.

Rock Seed's adopted son, Paulesson, is the heir of the Stern family in Driftwood Hall. Poleson is done.

After the stirring was completed, Ed covered the lid of the wooden barrel, "After the stirring is completed, it must be left for a few days to allow the impurities to fully settle before filtering again. Before filtering, remember to go to the ice cellar and freeze it once with ice cubes. Follow this process in the future Just make perfume."

Maester Luwin, who had completed notes of the perfume-making process with a quill, stroked the choker.

"Master Ed, you act like a craftsman with decades of experience in making perfume. Where did you learn this knowledge?"

Eddard originally wanted to answer that he read it from a book, but Maester Luwin would definitely ask which book it was.Compelling book knowledge with the bachelor might reveal his identity as a time traveler, so Ed smiled, "I often go to the godswood and pray to the weirwood heart tree. Maybe the old gods gave me wisdom and knowledge."

Maester Luwin nodded slightly, "It seems that I will pray to the old and new gods more and more in the future."

It would be months before the first batch of perfume was filtered and aged, and Ed was able to make time for the perfume glass bottle.

Perfume is a luxury product. The most high-end perfumes are packaged in glass, but some perfumes are also packed in wooden bottles.Today, Winterfell has its own glass workshop. For glass master Ortega, making perfume glass bottles is a piece of cake.

In the glass workshop, Ortega took the glass bottle mold that Ed handed over.

"Perfume bottle? Judging from the mold, this perfume bottle will have a direwolf coat of arms, or a heart shape. Duke Ed, what is the name of your perfume going to be called?"

Ed thought of the ice rose on Lyanna's head and Prince Rhaegar back then. "Just call it 'Winter Snow Love', what do you think of the name?"

Ortega smiled, "Good name, Winter Snow Love will definitely make those noble men and women scramble to buy it! They can't wait to use perfume to cover up the smell of sweat on their bodies!"
