"According to the orders of Duke Tywin, seize Edmure, we will lose the income of 300,000 gold dragons, as well as the honor of the Westerlings and the Cleganes, and we will be despised by the people of the Seven Kingdoms. "Janie, what do you think we should do?"

"It is the father who gains, and we who lose. Jenny said. Duke Tywin is Jenny's adoptive father.

There are no outsiders here, and Jenny is straightforward enough to speak. In order to prevent Mrs. Hibell from breaking her mouth, none of these core secrets were of her involvement.

"I started following Duke Tywin when I was twelve. "For twenty years now, I have come to know the Duke's character and purpose in life. For the sake of Lannister's interests, the Duke can sacrifice Cersei's happiness, for the honor of Lannister, the Duke can sacrifice Tyrion Lannister's life, and for the development of the entire Lannister family, between Jaime and Lannister, the Duke will only choose Lannister and will not hesitate to give up Jaime. He is a ruthless man who puts the interests and legacy of his family above all else. If I disobey the order, the Duke will not do anything to me now, because he still needs me, but when I am not needed so much, or the other party's interests are big enough, or he finds someone to replace me, he will not hesitate to kill me because of my violation today. ”

The study was very quiet, and everyone's breathing was heavy.

"What is the justification for the seizure of Edmus," said Count Gavin, a pedantic nobleman who valued honor above all else, and who had to prop up the false and noble façade of the Westerlings by selling his land and land, "Earl Edmus and his guards, who had eaten the bread and salt of the Westerlings, who were protected by the ancient guests. I should personally reject Duke Tywin's proposal, he has ruined thousands of years of Westerling's honor in an instant, and I will refuse him!"

"Neither Westerling nor Clegane can withstand the wrath of Duke Tywin, and I don't want 'Casterme's Rainy Season' to play in Westerling's Cragy City!" said the Magic Mountain lightly.

Three days later, a letter arrives in Crag Rock.

The letter came from Riverrun in the Riverlands, Duke Horst sent a letter agreeing to buy Crag Rock's milk sterilization technology for 300,000 gold dragons, and the second thing, Master Weiman mentioned that the Duke's condition had deteriorated, and hoped that Edmure would rush back to Riverrun as soon as possible.

"I need to get back to Riverrun right now. Edmure immediately read the letter and said, "My father is getting sicker, and I must be by his side." ”

Edmure is a drunken bastard and a dutiful son who loves his father deeply.

"Alright!" said the Magic Mountain, "Today, Jane and Master Asaph will immediately hand over the milk sterilization technique to you, and then we will get drunk in the evening, and tomorrow morning, I will personally escort the Lord out of the Westlands back to Riverrun." ”

"Okay. Our 300,000 golden dragons have also been sent out of the riverland, and Lord Demon Mountain personally sent me out of the western realm, just on the way to protect the 300,000 golden dragons sent over from being robbed by bandits. ”

There are more than three in the west, many gold mines, and many bandits.

There are pirates in the sea, and there are many bandits in the mountains! The bandits are mostly the aborigines of the mountains and miners who have lost their jobs and income after some gold mines have been dug up.

In the West, there are fewer and fewer gold mines, and there are more and more idle miners, which is a trend that cannot be changed, and it is beginning to slowly affect the stability of the entire West.

A cauldron, a filter cross, a large vat of snow-white milk, a thermometer with no scales and only two red lines spaced, an hourglass for timekeeping.

Jenny instructed the servant to lift the milk, pour the fresh milk into the iron pot, and make a fire.

A thermometer without any scale, Edmure saw it for the first time.

The whole hermetically sealed thermometer was seen for the first time by Edmure.

Such a tiny thermometer was the first time Edmure had seen it.

As the Grand Lord of Riverlands, Master Weyman of Riverrun had thermometers: both water and alcohol thermometers were open and had thick glass tubes.

The thermometer that Jenny took out was airtight, and the medium at the lower end was neither water nor alcohol, and the color was silver.

However, the liquid silver thermometer medium is also the first time Edmure has seen it.

A small thermometer gave Edmure a lot of surprises.

Edmure asked what the medium in the thermometer was, but neither Master Asaph nor Jane said clearly, and in Edmure's questioning, Master Asaph said, Master Weyman should know what this medium is, and there is one in the school city, and if Master Edmure and Master Weyman can't solve the problem of homemade thermometers after they go back, they can buy one thermometer from Crag Rock City, ten golden dragons for one thermometer.

The most ordinary soldier can buy such a thermometer for about three years' salary.

Edmure was silent!

Ten golden dragons are a small amount of money for a character like Edmure, but they can't hold up the amount of this thermometer. If you want to spread the milk sterilization method to the north and the valleys, hundreds of large and small nobles and hundreds of wealthy merchants of noble families will need about a thousand thermometers!

Master Asaph tied a silver wire to the thermometer and put its end into the steaming milk, and Edmure watched as the silver wire of the thermometer began to rise, and finally the silver wire rose higher than the first red notch.

The servant in charge of the fire began to control the firewood in the stove.

"The temperature should be controlled between the two red nicks, not lower than the lower one, and not higher than the upper one. Master Asaph emphasized.

Jenny turned the hourglass upside down: "Lord Edmus, as soon as the temperature of the milk exceeds the notch under the thermometer, you must turn this hourglass upside down, and the hourglass will leak, and the milk in the pot will be turned off at the same time, and the sterilization will be completed." ”

Edmure looked at the straight line of the hourglass, "How long does this hourglass last?"

"Let's make a little half-burnt incense!" was another vague answer.

But this didn't bother Edmure, and he would easily calculate the hourglass time when he returned. For the specific temperature range of milk sterilization, he can also put in another thermometer at the same time to calculate the specific temperature value.

Of course, all he knew and had at home were thermometers with open mouths and thick glass tubes.

"This is one way to sterilize milk, but there are others that can be stored for a longer period of time. Jenny said.

It turns out that there is no one method, and the time for milk to keep it fresh and shelf life is really important.

At night, Rock Rock revels like a festival.

Lord Edmure is leaving for home tomorrow, and the Westerlings are a famous family, and they refuse to lose their manners, and the wine, food, and beauty are all favored by Lord Edmure.

Wandering singers, troubadours, burlesques, magic and ventriloquists all appeared.

The whole city of Crag Rock is bustling with activity.

Edmure and his brothers have fun with their master's hospitality!
