Because there were too many and the area was too large, Jason Liu couldn't transport 100 large carriages and 100 small carriages all at once, and could only ship them when they were sold.
The next day, Jason Liu sent Kent to Winterfell to inform the nobles of the realm who wanted to buy a carriage that the stock had been delivered and could now be purchased.
The nobles of the king's territory who got the news had their attendants carry heavy purses and rushed to the East Store one after another.
"I'm going to buy a large luxury carriage, Lord Jason—"
"I want a large carriage, and one more—a small carriage…"
More than a dozen nobles from the king's territory bought nearly 30 large and small carriages.
Jason Liu easily earned nearly 20,000 golden dragons.
In the afternoon, Tyrion noticed there were a lot of luxurious four-wheeled carriages in Winterfell and asked curiously, only to find out that the Easter Store in the Winter Shelter market town outside Winterfell—owned by the Earl of Starfire City—was selling them.
Large and small four-wheeled carriages.
This piqued Tyrion's interest.
Compared with riding a horse, it was of course more comfortable to travel in such a well-sprung carriage.
Tyrion planned to buy a small four-wheeled carriage for himself, so he brought money and borrowed some from his brother Jaime, then walked into the Easter Store in the Winter market town, escorted by two Lannister guards.
Seeing Tyrion step over the threshold and walk into the store on his short legs, Jason Liu couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his face. He hadn't expected the little devil to come into his store.
To be honest, he had never taken the initiative to contact him, nor did he intend to have any dealings with the Lannister family.
Jason Liu was very self-aware. He was an ordinary man by modern standards. In terms of cunning and wit, he was no match for the smartest people in Westeros—like the Little Devil, Littlefinger, or the Spider.
His only advantage was his familiarity with the plot of the Game of Thrones world. He had a good understanding of the characters. Although his intelligence and strategic thinking weren't as sharp as theirs, he knew that as long as he followed the general trend, he'd be fine.
Tyrion noticed the look of surprise on the young earl's face and walked over to the long table opposite Jason Liu and sat down.
Jason Liu looked at Tyrion's short frame as he jumped flexibly onto the chair, and couldn't help the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Well, it wasn't a joke, it was just that Tyrion's two short, twisted legs on the chair, plus his big head and stubby arms, looked truly comical.
Tyrion didn't care about the curious gazes of Jason Liu, Lena, Martha, and the other shop assistants. He was probably used to those looks since birth.
"I don't need to introduce myself. You should know who I am, Mr. Jason?"
Tyrion looked up at Jason Liu, his black and green eyes studying the young man's foreign features. "Little Devil, deformed little monkey... what a reputation. It sounds unpleasant, but I have to say, the people who always enjoy giving nicknames and humiliating others are spread all over Westeros!"
"Oh, maybe even Essos across the Narrow Sea has legends about the dwarf son of House Lannister!"
Tyrion laughed at himself in his usual humorous tone.
Jason Liu was puzzled. He didn't understand why Tyrion had opened with self-deprecation. It sounded like he was speaking from the heart.
The thing was, they'd only met once at the king's banquet before, and didn't even exchange a word. This felt too familiar too fast.
They weren't that close!
"Well… your honesty surprises me, Lord Tyrion. I'm a little puzzled—it seems this is the first time we've officially met…"
Jason Liu didn't hide his surprise and directly hinted at Tyrion: Brother, are you alright? Why are you acting like we're old friends?
Tyrion stared at Jason Liu's face for a while with his mismatched eyes, then leaned back in the chair and shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe it's because the first time you saw me, you didn't show that same look of disgust everyone else does. It felt… novel."
"You know, someone like me—plus all the horrible rumors—grown-ups usually look at me with fear or disgust. Most don't even bother to hide it."
Tyrion's tone was calm, and there was even a mocking smile on his face. "So, I thank you, Lord Jason Easter. The first time you saw me, you didn't show that painful expression. People say they don't care, but who really doesn't care?"
As Tyrion talked, Jason Liu smiled on the surface, but cursed inwardly—You're overthinking it!
If I hadn't read the original story and already known who you were, I might've been shocked and disturbed when I first saw you—a little monster with short limbs, a twisted face, and odd-colored eyes! Scared, even!
Of course, he would never say that to poor Tyrion. Since the man had misunderstood him, so be it.
It didn't hurt him, anyway.
Jason Liu ordered Lena to bring fruit and drinks. He looked at Tyrion with a smile, glanced again at his small, peculiar figure, and said casually, "That's true. Since we live in a society made up of others, whether we like it or not, we can't ignore their opinions of us."
Tyrion took the drink from Bella and grinned slightly. "A bit philosophical. I must say, Mr. Jason, my impression of you has changed a lot."
I don't need your impression to change. I just hope you don't trouble me. I plan to stay in the North and build good relations with House Stark. I don't want anything to do with House Lannister, alright?
After mentally complaining, Jason Liu didn't reply. Instead, he directly asked Tyrion about the purpose of his visit. "Let's not waste time. By now, even the whole Winter market town knows you're a busy man, Lord Tyrion. So tell me, what do you need? I've got a lot of good stuff. I'm sure you'll like something!"
Tyrion, of course, understood what Jason Liu meant. Ever since he arrived in Winterfell with the king's party, he'd had quite a good time.
