The Mountain of Ice and Fire

Earl Othell said with a smile, "Ser Gregor, I gave you Casterly Rock as you wished, but you still need to show me some sincerity!"

Gregor said, "Earl, speak."

"I want to open Clegane Noodles restaurants in the five major port cities," Earl Othell said with a smile, "Lannisport in the Westerlands, White Harbor in the North, Gulltown in the Vale, King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, and Oldtown in the Reach."

Earl Othell's vision is truly excellent.

"Deal!" Gregor agreed without any hesitation, very decisively.

He must do anything that makes money.

The seven kingdoms' five major port cities not only have a large flow of people, but also the largest population of the seven kingdoms. Wealthy merchants, noble governors, princes, knights, and giant sword masters come and go. A noodle tavern that has never been seen or eaten before will definitely be a hit.

"I'm just worried about one thing, Earl," Gregor said. "My reputation isn't very good. Foreign merchants and nobles won't mind using the Clegane name, but domestic nobles may be dissatisfied? It's possible that it will bring some small troubles."

Gregor said that his reputation was not good. For some nobles, this was something they would rather draw their swords against than be humiliated, but when Gregor said it himself, it was so natural.

This made Earl Gawen move slightly to the side.

The Westerling family values the reputation of ancient nobles the most.

In order to maintain the family's facade, the Earl had to sell land to maintain the family's facade.

It was all caused by vanity.

However, Gregor wore shamelessness as a badge of honor. He said that his reputation was not good, and he was not afraid of Earl Gawen's shame, and he didn't care about Earl Othell's joke.

The Earl did laugh, which made Earl Gawen feel a burning sensation on his face.

Earl Othell laughed and said, "Ser Gregor, then use Jeyne Westerling's name, Jeyne Noodle House, how about that? Hehe!"

"Use the Earl's name," Gregor said in an unquestionable tone, "Earl Othell Noodle House."

Othell was a man of great sophistication. He was overjoyed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, repeatedly declining. When it comes to ancient bloodlines and reputations, the Westerling family deserves it.

Gregor didn't care about the family honor and personal honor that these nobles valued, but he knew that these nobles cared very much.

The honor of knights and nobles can be used to swear together with the Seven Gods. The oath is as credible as the law and will restrain the behavior of the swearer. It can be seen that personal honor in this world is a very important thing.

Since fame can bring family honor and personal honor, then give it to Earl Othell.

Gregor said, "Earl Othell, it's decided, use the Earl's name to open a noodle house. The first one will of course be in Lannisport. When this noodle house is doing well, making money and accumulating management experience, we can use the money we earn to open the second one. The second one can be in King's Landing."

Earl Othell was overjoyed. Naming the noodle house after his name was an honor for him and his family. He seemed to see the day when his name would be known throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

After eating Clegane Noodles, the Earl was full of confidence in this wonderful noodle that he had never seen before.

He deliberately showed his favor to Clegane, which was also meaningful.

If Gregor Clegane was like Brynden Rivers of 'A Thousand and One Eyes' - if his life had undergone a huge change - Brynden Rivers had a theological epiphany; Gregor Clegane had a spiritual epiphany - then Gregor might invent something wonderful and practical in the future.

Although the Earl's centurions learned from Dunsen and Polliver that the noodle machine was made by a powerful blacksmith, Earl Othell did not believe it. He concluded that this was Gregor's excuse. After all, a great demon having a spiritual epiphany is not something everyone can happily accept.

In the Citadel of Oldtown, various inventions are announced every year. These inventions are designed for all aspects of people's lives, from architectural details to weapon innovations, from city gate winches to siege machines, from astronomy to medicine, from animal husbandry to farming, and scholars are conducting research in all areas.

It's just that if you want to get a license to use the Citadel's new invention, you have to pay a lot of money.

If it is an invention that can benefit the entire country, the royal family will generally pay for it, and then the technology will be promoted throughout the country. It can also be bought by a big noble alone, and then promoted throughout the country to make a profit.

Even if Gregor's spiritual epiphany ends here, his status as Tywin Lannister's son-in-law is real. Earl Othell can't get to know Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion in the palace, but why not get closer to a great demon like Clegane?!

Whether from a political or business perspective, this is only good for the Earl and not bad.

The Earl exchanged a dying prisoner for the opportunity to cooperate with Gregor, and obtained the honor of naming a tavern after his own name, as well as the goodwill of Gregor and Miss Jeyne. This is definitely a great deal.

However, the only person who felt uncomfortable in the field was Earl Gawen Westerling. Gregor did not name it after the Westerling family, and the Earl felt a little uncomfortable.

Earl Gawen's displeasure was not obvious, but Earl Othell was a meticulous person and knew exactly what Earl Gawen was feeling. But so what? The self-deprecation between Earl Othell and Gregor was just a humble word, not a real excuse.

Gregor said again, "There is no problem with the name of the noodle house, but there is still a problem with the naming of the noodles. How about this, change Clegane Noodles to Westerling Noodles. Father-in-law, what do you think?"

"I have no problem, the Westerling family is a very ancient noble!" Earl Gawen was quite surprised, but he was happy in his heart. He didn't even say a humble word and agreed immediately.

So, the name of the noodle house was decided: Earl Othell Noodle House; the name of the noodles was also decided: Westerling Noodles.

Everyone is happy!

Miss Jeyne looked at Gregor. With her intelligence, to think of Gregor as a roughneck again would be an insult to her intelligence.

"Ser, before going for a drink, can I see your noodle machine first?"

"No!" Gregor said decisively.

"Uh, okay, then can I see your wheat mill?"

"No."

"Uh, okay, then can you invite the master who made the noodle machine to meet me? I really want to have a drink with him."

"Okay!"

So, the noodle machine master was called in. Earl Othell looked at this person walking in, so shocked that he was speechless and couldn't say a word.

It's true, the most famous weapons master in King's Landing - Master Tobho Mott!
