Chapter 0068 Sinking Bend
Night, late night. Most people have fallen asleep.
Cocoa!
Jenny's room was knocked politely.
Jenny was lazily lying on the bed, today she helped her grandmother test the potion, until her grandmother called her back to rest, she realized that it was dark, and she realized that she was too tired this day, but at that time she was addicted to the miraculous reaction of the potion, forgetting the fatigue of the body.
Jenny opened the door, and in the doorway stood the mature and dignified Lady Allen.
She is a clerk in the Cregan and is in charge of the kitchen's firewood, rice, oil, salt, and food.
Jenny has a crush on Mrs. Ellen.
Lady Allen's husband was a knight during his lifetime, and she had a good upbringing.
"Miss Jenny, Lord Gregor would like to ask you to come and go. β
"Now?" said Jenny, looking outside, it was already dark at night.
"Yes, now. Jazz is waiting for you. Mrs. Allen was smiling and graceful.
"Uh...... All right!" said Janie, "Madame, wait for me, and I'll be right at once." β
"Yes, miss. β

Tomorrow, Ser Gregor will take the Bolliver Knight and ten horsemen to King's Landing's mint to apply for the right to mine gold and the minimum and maximum quantities of ore that must be handed over in a month, and to obtain an official document on the grading of ores.
No one in the Seven Kingdoms had the right to mint coins, nor did they have the right to mint gold, and the gold ore had to be handed over to the mint on the outskirts of King's Landing, and then the treasury officials would give the Golden Dragon a reward according to the grade of the gold ore and the amount of gold handed in.
The king had a monopoly on the minting of gold coins, and all the gold mines in the west were brought into the king's mint. Gold is extracted first, and then coins are minted.
The supreme officer in charge of coinage, the authority to mine gold ore, and the grading of ore was Petyr Berish, known as Littlefinger.
Gregor is going on a business trip, taking the Golden Avenue, a distance of two thousand miles, and it is estimated that it will take twenty days at the earliest. Although a good horse travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred at night, it is difficult to have one out of a thousand good horses.
This is not a rush march in battle, it is not bad that a group of twelve people can walk 300 miles a day.
Jenny didn't know what Gregor was looking for him in the middle of the night, it was a very personal matter, she was his fiancΓ©e, and he had always been notorious for women.

"Sir Gregor, are you looking for me?" said Jane, although she smiled beautifully, but her tone was a little timid.
Almost everyone slept, my father did, and upstairs, Mrs. Allen had sent her into Gregor's huge bedroom room, and she had left.
What Gregor wants to do to her, she can only be a lamb who can't resist.
"Jenny, I drew something, you see. Gregor noticed Jenny's restraint, and he tried to relax his vicious nature, smiling, soft, and with a soft look in his eyes.
"What is this?" said Jenny, picking up a piece of parchment on the table.
Gregor drew a figure with bright lines on parchment. Jenny could tell it was a pipe with a curved middle.
"Sinkbend. Gregor said.
"......" Jenny stared at Gregor with a puzzled look. She didn't understand it at all, and it was the first time she had heard of the name.
"Water comes in from here, because there's an upward bend, and there's going to be water blocking the bend here. β
Jenny listened carefully and looked very seriously: "But there is a little more water, as long as this end is high, the sinking bend can only keep a little water at the bend, and the excess will flow away, because the front and back of the pipe are open." β
"Yes. β
"So what do you want to do with this?"
"Installed in the toilet to replace the straight sewage pipe that we used to use in the past. β
"Toilets?instead of direct sewerage?, won't that garbage get stuck in the bend?" said Jenny, pointing her finger at the bend.
"No, because if you put the other end higher, the garbage stuck in the bend will be forcibly washed away by the water. "The pressure of water is not small. The pressure of water is a simple physical concept.
"But there's always a certain amount of water left in the bend!"
Gregor smiled: "Yes, this is the beauty of designing the curve, install this pipe upright, the distance is high and the water is large, no matter how much garbage in the garbage place will be washed away, and the last clean water will be blocked at the mouth of the curve, and the water will cut off the air circulation in the pipe." The smell and smell in the toilet pit will not enter the room down the sewage pipe. β
Jenny's eyes were already big enough, and this time they widened wider.
She looked at Gregor in a daze, her eyes full of surprise.
"Whether it's the duke's toilet or the king's toilet, no matter how clean it is, there is always that smell in the air. If the septic tank is not well covered in windy weather, the stench will enter the room through the sewage pipe. Even if there is no wind, there is always a foul smell entering the room through the toilet pipes. β
Jenny nodded like a schoolboy.
Everyone is like this, and everyone knows it, this is common sense in life. Therefore, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman's toilet, it is always built in the most remote place, and the door is closed when entering and leaving, for fear of the wind and smelling into other rooms.
"Designing a bend in a straight pipe that doesn't block the garbage, but blocks the odor from entering the room through the pipe, so that even in the bedroom, you can design a separate small toilet, just bury the submersible bend pipe! β
Jenny was speechless by Gregor's whimsy.
She knew that what Gregor said was perfectly doable.
"How did you come up with that?" said Jenny, who heard her voice a little ethereal.
She didn't think Gregor could have come up with something that seemed simple but was actually very clever and clever, and the name of the Sink Bend was the most appropriate.
"I didn't come up with it, you came up with it. Gregor laughed and handed the drawings to Jane, "I'm a rough man, illiterate and dull-minded, and I can't think of anything like this." Well, it's getting late, and it's time for you to go to bed. Tomorrow, you will show this drawing to the master worker, and tell them that the toilets in our village of Klegon, the toilets in the Seven Holy Churches, and the ladies' toilets are all buried in the ground. β
"You want to give me this invention?"
"You're both good-looking, smart, these little things should have been you thought of to be reasonable. β
"I'm not going to take credit from you. β
"It's not about occupying it, it's about helping me. If Sir Gregor had been known to be wiser and wiser, and to be under the patronage of the Light of the Seven, I fear that many would be jealous of me, wary of me, wary of me, and even want to get rid of me. "But you're different. You come from a famous and versatile family, and if you came up with this thing, others won't be wary of me because they're afraid. β
Jenny looked at Gregor with a gleam in her big eyes: "Sir Gregor, you are completely different from the rumored wicked. You are not vulgar, it is the people who are scolding you. On the contrary, you are shrewd and full of wisdom. β
It's not wisdom, it's supposed to be very cunning.
Gregor decided to take the opportunity to sensationalize, after all, he had watched so many bloody dramas in his previous life, and he still remembered some disgusting lines: "Jenny, you are my fiancΓ©e, we are the most important people in each other's lives, I really can't stand the smell gushing out of the passage of the toilet, especially when the weather is hot." Now that I thought of a solution to this problem, I did it. Only this time, it's you who have to bear the false name for me. In front of others, I will hide my clumsiness. β
The implication is that in front of Jenny, he is a confessor.
"Okay, I've got you covered. This sink bend was conceived and invented by me. Jenny's earnest little face looked charming, "Still, I won't take it out the day after you leave, I'll wait a bit." β
"Okay!" Gregor smiled.
