Castle Rock City.

Duke Tywin held a cylinder in his hand that was polished smooth inside and out.

The cylinder is wooden.

Originally, it was made of iron, but in response to the Duke's decree of 'replacing iron with wood', the makers changed the iron cylinder to a wooden one.

In the middle of the cylinder there was a thin, round, polished iron plate with many small holes drilled into it.

There is a protrusion at the bottom of the wooden cylinder, and when a thin circular iron plate is placed in it, it is stuck in the protruding position.

A log plank the same size as a thin iron plate is solid and has a long handle on it. Holding the long handle, it is just right to put the solid log into the wooden cylinder.

The wooden cylinder is about forty centimeters long, connected from top to bottom, and has no lid.

Duke Tywin and Fellow Fellows looked at the set, which was simple and made up of three objects: a wooden cylinder, a thin iron plate with holes that could be removed and put into the cylinder freely, and a wooden stopper with a handle that matched the dimensions of the inside of the cylinder.

Cylindrical, thin iron plate, wooden stopper with handle.

Very simple thing, but put together, it was the first time Duke Tywin and Fellow Fellows had met.

The maker of this thing is right next to them.

Tob Mott from the village of Klegane, a renowned master of weapons and mechanics in King's Landing. Standing beside the Master were Alec, a restrained woman from the village of Crega, and Esther, a young girl from King's Landing, who was married to the Polliver Knight, and her grandfather Buzz. Of course, Tywin's youngest daughter, Jenny Westerling, was here, right next to her father.

They were in the Duke's kitchen.

Also watching the cylinder were the duke's cooks, servants, and attendants.

The wooden basin on the side - the iron basin in the duke's house has also been replaced by a wooden basin because of the decree of 'replacing iron with wood' - the dough in the wooden basin has been kneaded, and under the guidance of Alex, the noodle chef of Kregon Village, the dough has been added to the dough for the first time with eggs, vegetable spices, snow salt, and specially prepared condiment packets from the village of Cregaon.

Under everyone's quiet gaze, Master Tob put the thin iron plate that had just been cleaned into the wooden cylinder, which had also been cleaned, and he put the cylinder upright, and Alec put two fist-sized balls of dough from the top of the cylinder, and Tob picked up the wooden cork with a handle, which was round and perfectly matched the inner diameter of the cylinder.

After putting the wooden cork into the cylinder, Master Tobu held the long handle and pushed it down hard, and at the bottom of the cylinder, strips of noodles of the same size and thickness were drilled out of the small holes of the iron plate—from the black technology refined food that was several levels higher than the level of oriental civilization—dried noodles—were produced.

The onlookers all held their breath.

Master Tob pushed the cork hard to the bottom, and the noodles continued to drill out of the small holes.

Alec uses a long bamboo chopstick to pick up the noodles in the center to prevent them from reaching the ground because they are too long.

Two more balls of dough were put in from the top of the cylinder, Master Tobu repeated the same action, the noodles kept getting longer, and Arya raised the long bamboo chopsticks hanging on the noodles: "Lord Duke, the noodles produced in this way can be infinitely long, and when they reach a certain length, cut them with scissors, and put the noodles hanging on the long bamboo chopsticks to dry in the sun, which is dry dried noodles, which can be stored, as long as they are not damp, they can be stored for a long time, and they will not break." ”

The hanging of dried noodles comes from the fact that the noodles are hung on long bamboo chopsticks.

"Lord Duke, wet noodles can also be thrown directly into the pot to cook. Tob said respectfully.

Tywin's iron-plated face is visibly relieved, which is very rare.

The Potter scholars were secretly pleased with the Duke's rare softness.

"That's how the noodles from Kregon Village are made?" the Duke asked.

"Back to the Duke, no. The noodles in Krigan are produced by pure manipulator rockers, and the production speed and output are more than ten times that of this type of cylindrical noodles, and the noodles are all made of iron. This handmade home-style dried noodle is a small machine that Lord Gregor ordered me to design specifically for the Duke. ”

"Family-only?" Tywin said. His tone is also soft, which is also rare. The majestic man has a hint of a temperament that is willing to be approached.

"Yes, it's for the Duke's family. ”

"This noodle tastes good?"

"After drying, it can be eaten raw, crispy, fragrant, hard, with a wonderful aftertaste on the tip of the tongue and mouth. Alec said.

"Good. "Lord Tywin said, "Master Potter, call the clerk to Tob and ...... What's your name?"

"My name is Alec, Lord Duke. Alec scrambled to his feet, bowing his head and bending his knees.

"Master Potter, arrange for the clerk to reward Tob and Alec with two golden dragons each. ”

Tob and Alec hurriedly thanked him!

The duke's cook and servant came up, and the cook learned to put the dough into the cylinder, and pushed the live cork, and sure enough, the noodles came out of the bottom of the cylinder, and the servant, under the guidance of Alec, used the second long bamboo chopsticks to pick up the noodles that were about to touch the ground, and she raised the bamboo chopsticks, and the noodles hung on the bamboo chopsticks - dried noodles!

The composition of this set is very simple, and the production method is very simple, but the wisdom and ingenuity contained in it are very impressive to the Potter scholars.

Very simple stuff, but very practical.

"Where's your Lord Gregor?" Lord Tywin asked about the Magic Mountain.

"Father, Sir Gregor has spoken to the nobles of the north about buying back my land, and he will be back soon. Jenny whispered.

Tywin looked at Janie. In the past, Duke Tywin was staring at people, and his eyes were nails, but this time he used to look, and there was no sharpness in his eyes.

"He won't be in time to come back for lunch. ”

"No, Father. "Jenny is polite and elegant.

The Duke nodded, his eyes softened, and the small machinery and production process of the family's handmade noodles made him feel good.

"Let's go to the study!" said Duke Tywin, glancing at Master Bouz.

"Yes!" said Jenny, Buzz, Esther, Tobb, and Captain Potter in unison.

The woman, Alec, stayed in the kitchen as a noodle chef to teach the chef how to cook somen noodles.

*

The study is a place for the Duke of Tywin to cultivate his mind and discuss top secrets.

The group walked into the study, and Master Potter gently closed the door.

There were seven steps outside the doorway, and the guards stood guard away from them.

There were no books in Duke Tywin's study, and the walls were decorated with only a very fine silk drawing, depicting a stunning woman, looking at everyone with watery eyes and a faint smile on her face, her name was Joanna Lannister, Tywin Lannister's cousin, and his wife who had been dead for twenty-five years.

Duke Tywin sat upright behind his desk, his back straight. The rare softness that had just been in the kitchen vanished, and the cruel and merciless indifference returned to his face and was transmitted from his eyes.

"Master Bouz, get the things out!" said the Duke.
