Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 90 The Winterfell Workshop

The glassmaker Ortega lived in a courtyard in Winterfell, and he stayed in Winterfell.With Ortega, a Mill glass craftsman, Ed will be able to continuously produce glass in the future, and his glass farm plan has taken a solid step forward.

In fact, as a time traveler, Ed also knows some glass-making skills. As long as he is willing to spend time on research, he believes that he can develop ordinary glass. However, it is too difficult to produce a work of art like Mir glass. .With a glass master like Ortega in Winterfell, glass panes can be made in the future. You must know that glass panes are expensive luxury goods, and the price is equivalent to gold.

In addition to the glass craftsman Ortega, Ed's craftsman team also includes the alchemist Ginter. In the future, Ed, Ginter, and Ortega can study together to improve the glass craft.

Ed and financial advisor Clare walked out of the gate of Winterfell towards Artisan Street, where there were rows of workshops designed by architect Downs Ayling.

"Lord Ed, from now on, Ortega's glass workshop should be right here on Artisan Street. This place is next to the gate of Winterfell, and there are guards patrolling it every day, so the security is good."

Artisan Street is next to the forge. Many workshops in Artisan Street are assets of Winterfell. There are toy workshops invested by Winterfell, sausage workshops, candle workshops, breweries that produce ale and mead, beer, pressed cooking oil and Workshops for brewing vinegar, etc.

Ed and financial adviser Claire came to the sausage workshop, where the person in charge was Phoebe, a fat, happy middle-aged woman who wore an oily apron and asked Ed to taste the sausage produced in Winterfell. Ham sausage.

"These are all made of pork and beef provided by the Winterfell farm, Lord Ed, you are satisfied with the taste."

Today Phoebe has more than thirty workers, both female and male.

Ed took a bite of ham sausage, "It's delicious. Phoebe, how much ham can you produce in a day in your workshop?"

Phoebe thought for a while, "There must be more than 100 sausages, sausages, and hams of different sizes! Don't worry, Lord Ed, the warehouse in Winterfell is full of sausages and hams, enough to deal with the cold winter."

"It's not enough." Ed chewed on the ham, "Phoebe, take your people and continue to work harder. The more meat we have, the better."

Phoebe let out a burst of hearty laughter, "Master Ed, ham can be preserved for a period of time after adding salt, but if you accumulate too much, it will still go bad. If you produce too much, Winterfell can't finish it. It is impossible for the residents of Dongshi Town to eat so many ham and sausages, the accumulated ones won’t go bad, right?”

"No." Ed threw the leftover sausage casings on the ground, and a dog snatched away the casings, "I have reached a cooperation with the night watchman. In the future, Winterfell will build an icehouse in the fortress on the Great Wall, where It can store a lot of food. In the future, the people on the Impassable Great Wall and even the whole northern region will be able to eat the ham you made."

Phoebe and the workers were very happy, showing simple and honest smiles.

Ed and financial advisor Clare walked out of the sausage workshop and walked towards the toy workshop nearby.Krall said: "In the past, the workshop earned money for Winterfell, but it was all taken away by the black market in Yantun. Now that Lord Ed has implemented a ban on salt, without the bottomless pit of Yantun, I guarantee that I can save money for Winterfell." Every copper plate."

In the toy workshop, Douglas and his children warmly welcome Ed and Claire.

Douglas is a carpenter and toymaker who has traveled all over the Seven Kingdoms. His family has made wooden toys for generations. Many famous knights, such as "Kingslayer" James, Prince Rhaegar, Duke Renly, "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane, both had been Douglas' father or his client.

Back then, Douglas' father was doing business in the Western Territory, and he sold a carved wooden knight to "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane. The younger brother of "The Hound" Sandor, because he secretly played with the wooden carved knight, was forced into the house by his brother Magic Mountain. He fell into the charcoal basin and burned half of his face.

Douglas is a carpenter and toy maker, and his three sons are also carpenters. After Douglas settled in Winterfell, he accepted ten apprentices to teach carpentry skills.Douglas hands Ed a wooden doll.

"Lord Ed, this kind of wooden knight is quite popular in Bai Harbor, and more than a dozen can be sold every month, but very few are sold in Winter Retreat Town and Deserted Mound."

Douglas' woodcarving toys are expensive, often costing a few silver deer. This price is obviously not affordable for ordinary children.

Ed played with the carved wooden knight, "There is a Knights Order in White Harbor, and the Manderly family there also believes in the Seven Gods. They like knights. There are very few knights in the north of the Neck. This kind of toy can be brought to the Reach and the Riverlands. And the Vale of Arryn, they must be popular, there is a world of knights."

"Catelyn's natal family is the Tully family of Riverrun, and they are the guardians of the riverlands. The guardian of the Vale of Arryn, the Duke of the Eyrie, Jon Arryn, is my adoptive father. I will sell products from the north to the south in the future. , including your toys, you can produce them with peace of mind.”

Douglas smiled, "Master Ed, maybe I can make a batch of Dolls of Brandon the Builder. Brandon the Builder is a legend in the North! He built the Great Wall and Riverrun, According to some legends, even Storm's End has Brandon's contribution."

"Northern people may remember the achievements of the 'Builder', but no one will pay a lot of money to buy a doll of the 'Builder'." Ed reminded Douglas, "You don't know the people of the North, and the cold winter always threatens this land. The land, people become resolute and cold, and the people in the north will think that the pleasures and feasts of the people in the south are childish and ridiculous, so they naturally disdain to spend money on toys for their children."

Douglas nodded approvingly after listening, "Master Ed, what kind of toy do you think will sell well?"

"I'll tell you the truth, no matter how perfect a toy we make, it's hard to sell well in the north." Ed picked up a toy of a southern knight on the table, "but the south is completely different, I think we can try to make something similar Dolls for 'Greenhand' Garth, 'Fool' Florian and Jonquil, Rainbow Knight and Miss Sheila, 'Dragon Rider' Aemon, the first knight in history 'Oak' John and others, at the Bend of the River It will definitely sell well.”

"The Reach?" Douglas's eyes lit up, "Yeah, back then I wandered around the towns in the Reach, similar to Old Town, Golden Tree City, Green Pavilion Island, Qinshu Beach, Bitter Bridge, almost every castle Children will buy my toys, the Reach is the hometown of knights, and every child has a dream of being a knight."

"Besides the Reach, there is no doubt about the warrior spirit of the Knights of the Canyon." Ed told Douglas, "You can make a batch of dolls of 'Wing Knight' and 'Falcon Knight' and sell them in the Valley. It can be used as a gift for children in the West. Prepare 'smart' Lann, I'm sure the children of Lannisport will like it."
