Chapter 0091 Honor
Earl Odd laughed, "Sir Gregor, I gave you the Chiswick you wanted, but you still have to show me a little sincerity!"
Gregor said, "Your Excellency, speak." β
"I want to open a Kerrigan noodle shop in the five major ports. Count Odd laughed, "Lannisport in the west, White Harbor in the north, Seagull Town in the Vale, King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, and the old town in Riverlands." β
Count Ode's vision is really good.
"Deal!" Gregor didn't hesitate, very simply.
Things to make money, must be done.
The five major port cities in the seven countries not only have a large flow of people, but also have the largest population in the seven countries. Wealthy tycoons, noble governors, princes, knights, and giant merchants and swordsmen came and went, and a somen tavern that had never been seen or eaten was born, and business was bound to be booming.
"I'm just worried, Lord Earl. "My reputation is not very good, and in the name of Clegane, the foreign nobles everywhere will not mind, but the nobles of their own country, I am afraid that some people will be dissatisfied?" β
Gregor said that his reputation was not good, which was something that some nobles would rather draw their swords than be humiliated, but it was so natural for Gregor to say it in his own mouth.
This made Count Gavin on the side move slightly.
What the Westerlings valued most was the reputation of the ancient aristocracy.
In order to keep his reputation from falling, vanity and prosperity, the earl sold land and land to maintain the faΓ§ade of the family.
It's all vain.
Gregor, however, wears shamelessness as a badge of honor. He himself said that he had a bad reputation, and he was not afraid of Count Gavin's shame, and he didn't care about Count Ode's jokes.
The Count burst out laughing, which made Count Gavin's face feel hot.
Earl Odd laughed, "Sir Gregor, then use the name of Jane Westerling, how about Jenny Noodles?"
"In the Earl's name. "Gregor said, in an unquestioning tone," Count Odd Hangmen. β
Odd was a man of great power, ecstatic in his heart, and remained silent on the surface, and repeatedly excused himself. When it comes to ancient bloodlines and fame, the Westerlings deserve it.
Gregor didn't care about the family honor and personal glory that these nobles valued, but he knew that they cared very much.
The honor of knights and nobles can be used to swear together with the seven gods, and the oath is as credible as the law and will bind the behavior of the oath-taker, which shows that personal glory in this world is a very important thing.
Since fame brings family honor and personal glory, it is good for Count Odeh.
Gregor said, "Count Ode, so decided, to open the village in the name of the earl." The first one, of course, is in Lannisham. When the business of this noodle shop improves, we make money and accumulate management experience, we can use the money we earn to open a second one. The second one is in King's Landing. β
Count Ode was overjoyed, and naming the noodle village after him was a personal and family honor. It was as if he had seen the day when his name became known in the Seven Kingdoms.
After eating the Clegane somen noodles, the Count was full of confidence in this wonderful somen that he had never seen before.
His intention to show favor to Clegan also has a deep meaning.
If Gregor Clegane were like the 'Thousand and One Eyes' Brindon River, whose life had changed dramatically, and Gregor Cregan had been a theological opener, and Gregor Clegane had been a great opener, then it was unclear what Gregor would have invented in the future that would be both wonderful and practical.
Although the Earl's centurion learned from Dunson and Polivier that the noodle machine was made by some powerful blacksmith, Count Ode did not believe it. He concluded that this was Gregor 's statement. After all, a great demon's wisdom is not something that everyone can accept happily.
Every year, a variety of inventions are announced, which are designed to all aspects of people's lives, from architectural details to weapon innovations, from the winch machinery of the city gate to the siege machinery, from astronomy to medicine, from animal husbandry to farming, and there are special bachelors at all levels to conduct research.
It's just that if you want to get permission to use the new invention in the school, you have to pay a lot of money.
If it is an invention that can benefit the whole country, it is usually paid for by the royal family, and then the technology is promoted throughout the country. It can also be bought separately by a certain nobleman, and then promoted nationwide to make a profit.
Even if Gregor's enlightenment came to an end, his status as Duke Tywin's son-in-law would be real. Earl Odd can't get to know Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion in the palace, but why not get on good terms with an archdemon like Clegane?!
Politically and businessally, this is only good for the Earl.
The Count traded a dying prisoner for the opportunity to work with Gregor, and was given the honor of naming the tavern after himself, as well as the favor of Gregor and Miss Jane, which was definitely worth it.
However, the only person who felt uncomfortable in the field was Earl Gavin Westerling, and Gregor did not use the Westerling family name, and the count felt a little uncomfortable.
Count Gavin's displeasure was not obvious, but Count Ode was a fine man, and he knew Count Gavin's unhappiness. But so what? The self-humility between Count Odd and Gregor is merely a humble remark, not a real shirk.
Gregor added: "There is no problem with the name of the noodle farm, there is still a bit of a problem with the naming of the noodles, so let's replace the Clegane noodles with Westerling noodles." Father-in-law, what do you think?"
"I don't have a problem, the Westerling family is a very old noble!" Count Gavin was quite surprised, but his heart was joyful, and he didn't even say anything humble, but agreed.
Thus, the name of the noodle village was decided: Count Odd Noodle Village, and the name of the noodles was also decided: Westerling noodles.
Everyone's happy!
Miss Jenny looked at Gregor, and with her ingenuity, it would be an insult to her intelligence to think that Gregor was a big boss again.

"Sir, can you take a look at your noodle machine before you go to drink?"
"No!" said Gray decisively.
"Uh, well, can you take a look at your wheat mill?"
"Neither can it. β
"Uh, okay, the master who makes the noodle machine, can you please come over and meet, I really want to have a drink with him. β
"Okay!"
So, the noodle mechanic master was called in, and Count Ode watched the man walk in, and was so surprised that he couldn't say a word.
Indeed, King's Landing's most prestigious weapon master, Master Tob Mott!
