Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

The civilization of the Ice and Fire World is similar to that of the European Middle Ages, and the sanitation is very poor.

Fortunately, although Westeros has developed for thousands of years in the Middle Ages and has not made any progress in civilization, its sanitation has not been without any progress.

You should know that in the Middle Ages of Jack's previous life, it was a sanitation nightmare.

For example, in 1533, at a ceremony to celebrate Anne Boleyn becoming the Queen of England.

The new queen smiled and toasted the guests while swinging her skirt to show her aristocratic style.

But even if Westeros has made progress, it is only limited to the progress of the nobles' residences.

Other places are still dirty, messy and poor, otherwise King's Landing would not stink.

People in the Seven Kingdoms do not use feces to "pollute the land".

Because the church believes that feces will pollute the land.

Of course, this is limited to the city.

Most rural people still use feces for fertilizer, which allows them to harvest more rye and barley.

Many people even go to the city to steal feces to irrigate the land.

But this still cannot change the current situation of the city.

Because the old feces will be filled with new feces as soon as they leave.

A large amount of animal feces mixed with human feces lay on the roadside. After a long time, they would pour the feces into the nearby river, and even the public wells were garbage dumps.

The final result was that people would have diarrhea and die after drinking the water.

The nobles mixed wine with water to drink.

Fortunately, the location of the Last Hearth City was very far north, and it was the northernmost city in the Seven Kingdoms except for the newly added land and the Black Castle.

The cold climate covered up the stench of feces and rotten garbage very well.

In the end, Jack found a hotel that looked pretty good and stayed there.

The simple environment made Jack look sideways again, but fortunately, this hotel had pork sausage and vegetable soup for sale.

Jack also ordered a glass of barley wine.

Wheat wine can only be brewed by nobles. Commoners have no money and are not qualified to brew wine with wheat or eat bread made of wheat.

And although there is rice in Westeros, it has a slow maturity cycle and low yield.

In Westeros, only the great nobles sometimes choose to improve the taste and plant it.

After the pork sausage came up, Jack looked at the dark long object in front of him and frowned.

Suppressing the resistance in his heart, Jack cut a piece of sausage and put it in his mouth.

The taste of "beauty" burst from the tip of the tongue, and the fishy and smelly smell invaded Jack's taste buds.

The taste was like the red sausage that expired because it was not sold in the previous life of Malatang, just like chewing fishy plastic particles.

Don't ask Jack why he knows what the sausage that expired because it was not sold tastes like, because everyone has complaints at all times.

Jack, who had no choice, quickly picked up the wooden wine glass and took a big sip of beer.

A faint sour smell mixed with a lot of wheat husks rushed straight to the top of the head, and the taste of alcohol was very light, obviously diluted with water.

This made Jack's face a little distorted.

He finally understood why the best-selling Poseidon Brewing was the experience version of the Six Golden Dragons.

Because he still overestimated the brewing technology of this era and the consumption capacity of ordinary people.

Even the trial version of Poseidon Brew from Six Golden Dragons still maintains its clear quality.

So as long as you buy a high-proof Poseidon Brew and pour it into a bucket, it will become a large bucket of good wine.

Unless it is for face, the most cost-effective one is the trial version of Poseidon Brew.

Because there is no distillation technology, and the yeast's resistance to alcohol is limited, the alcohol content of the wine is not high.

But even if the alcohol content is not high, it is still wine, and no one can really drink wine as water.

Although the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms or the nobles of the world all drink wine as water, they have to mix it with water.

So the nobles will mix wine and water in a ratio of 1 to 4 or 1 to 5 and then drink it as water.

Even add other spices or honey to the wine.

Therefore, the trial version of Poseidon Brew is more like a seasoning, allowing them to make double the amount of fine wine.

But no matter when, wine, especially noble red wine, is an absolute luxury.

And the lower-class civilians do not have such good conditions.

Barley wine made from barley is mixed with barley husks and then added with water to make delicious barley wine.

Even so, a combination of pork sausage, vegetable soup and barley beer is a very rich meal in the eyes of the common people in the North.

Jack took a sip of the vegetable soup tentatively and found that although the thick vegetable soup did not look good, it had no taste.

Jack was overjoyed and quickly chopped the pork sausage into the thick vegetable soup, and the taste was finally a little better.

After finishing all the vegetable soup in the bowl, Jack drank two sips of the clearer barley beer.

"Finally finished it." Jack sighed.

Jack didn't want to waste food. This was taught by his father in his previous life with the "painstaking persuasion" of the seven wolves, and more importantly, he spent money.

After eating this meal of "common people's food", Jack decided to go back and let the winery develop a cheap beer.

It doesn't require to be like the sea god's brew, at least it must be swallowable by Jack, and the name is called "Dare to the Deep Sea".

Wine is a luxury no matter where it is, even the Poseidon Brew on the Sea King Island is the same, 550 ml costs 6 silver coins.

So Jack decided to pick up the lower-level market that he had given up due to lack of manpower.

At least the drunkards in Atlantis should have wine to drink every meal.

And Jack has also discovered in the past six months that people's demand for alcohol seems to be far beyond his imagination.

Perhaps he can imitate the strategy of a certain Duoduo and capture the sinking low-consumption alcohol market.

It's no wonder that Jack didn't expect that the alcohol culture of Western Europe and East Asia is different.

First, there was a shortage of manpower at the beginning, and it was impossible to increase production. Second, the drinking culture of Western Europe and East Asia is slightly different.

The winemaking culture of East Asia did not develop fruit wine, but used human grain to make wine.

This resulted in the fact that although wine is a necessity, it is not a necessity for civilians. Civilians prefer to drink cold boiled water after boiling water.

There was no habit of boiling water in Western Europe in the Middle Ages. Coupled with poor sanitary conditions and the popularity of fruit winemaking, alcohol became an excellent choice for people to replenish water.

The nobles drank good wine.

The civilians drank barley beer or rye beer, which tasted bad and had many impurities.

But the number of civilians is not comparable to that of the nobles, so when there are enough manpower and production, the profit of the bottom-level alcohol market is also very considerable.

Jack thought about the possibility of the "Dare to Dig Deep" business plan for a while, and then went to the room on the second floor to rest, hoping that the food in the Black Castle would be better.

Fortunately, the wooden stairs were quite solid and did not feel shaky.

Just after Jack went upstairs, the two people eating thick vegetable soup looked at each other, put down their bowls and followed.
