MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 63 Open the liver, use the chef's knife to clear up the beef

Chapter 63: Opening the liver, the chef cuts off the knife

 Da Chuqing?

Zhou An was stunned for a moment. After searching the memory in his mind, he finally understood.

 The so-called Da Chu Qing is actually a festival.

  But this festival is very important and happens once a year.

 And every place must participate.

 Whether it is a big city or a small county, it is not exempt from customs.

the reason is simple.

 Da Chu Qing is a grand event held once a year starting from the day when Da Chu Kingdom was established.

 It was mainly established to celebrate the founding of the Chu Kingdom.

 At this annual event, there is no need to say much about singing and dancing. There are also various performances, which is very lively.

Both the common people and officials are the most relaxed on this day.

Of course, there are exceptions for the policemen like Zhou An and the others.

 Because maintaining order is what they have to do, so they are very busy on this day.

 “Let’s watch the performance by the way.” Zhou And said.

There is nothing we can do about this kind of annual event.

 And it seems like it’s only two days.

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhou An returned to his home and practiced the Dragon Walk.

 Proficiency growth has slowed down quite a bit, but at least it's still long.

 If it doesn’t rise by then, Zhou An will have to spend time thinking of other methods.

 It's like Dian Wu and Pao Ding trying to figure out how to do it, but it has now come to a standstill.

Hibernating for a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

 The next day, Zhou An got up early again and went to a food stall to eat some noodles.

 The atmosphere today is very different.

Walking on the street, you can see a festive atmosphere. Every house is decorated with lanterns and colors, which is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

The number of vendors on both sides of the street has also increased significantly. This annual Chuqing is also a good opportunity for them to make a fortune.

Even the food stall where Zhou An ate noodles became bustling with people, and he could even hear the excited chatter of many people.

“Sir, I’ll give you an extra omelette.” The boss came over with a happy face, picked up an omelette, and put it in Zhou An’s bowl.

 We often eat here, and the two of them are familiar with each other. The boss also knows that Zhou An is different from other detectives.

Other agents don’t even need to pay for meals, but Zhou An pays the money every time without any pretense, just like an ordinary person.

 As time went by, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other.

Even Zhou An’s bowl has a little more noodles than others.

“Boss, don’t you take a break during the Great Chuqing Day?” Zhou An asked.

The boss scratched his head and said honestly: "We, who are from a small family, don't dare to rest. We just take advantage of this time to earn more."

 Who doesn’t want to take a break these days?

Working less and getting more for nothing is the ideal of many people.

 These things must be spelled out by oneself.

Zhou An didn’t talk much. The boss was also very busy, so he left after saying a few words.

 After eating, Zhou An walked towards the county government office.

 There were people coming and going along the way, and everyone had a smile on their face.

 In the past, we were tired of making ends meet, but today we are all relieved of our burdens.

Zhou An also heard a lot of conversations.

 “Have you heard? The troupe is not leaving.”

“I’ve heard about it a long time ago. It happens to be Da Chuqing. People also want to make a fortune here.”

“Isn’t this the one invited by our county magistrate? On the first day I heard it, I sang about the county magistrate’s praises all day long.”

"My distant relative is the master of the Yamen. I know this. This troupe is really not invited by the county magistrate."

 “Then why should we sing the praises of the county magistrate?”

"Are you stupid? If you don't sing well, how can you sing badly? On the first day here, if you sing the praises of the county magistrate first, it is equivalent to signing up for the family. Otherwise, how can he continue singing?"

 At the intersection, two people were talking.

 Zhou An has a sharp ear and was a little surprised when he heard the conversation. When he heard about the troupe, he really thought it was invited by the county magistrate. Now it seems that he misunderstood and this guy came by himself.

But this was also a misunderstanding, and he didn't think it was anything. The time was approaching, so Zhou An walked faster.

 When he came to the Yamen, he ordered the order just on time, so he was not absent from work.

After finishing the order, he ran to the kitchen again and carefully thought about the next improvement route.

 The only things that can be improved now are Dragon Step and Blacksmithing.

Just go to blacksmithing every day at noon, and practice Longbu at night, and Youlongbu is not far from level 4.

 As for Pao Ding’s ability to solve problems and overturn things, they have now reached level four and new methods are needed.

 Bianwu needed to think of another way, but Chef Ding knew how to do it, and he had an idea.

Didn’t you carve wood before? Now carve something soft and see if you can improve it.

Thinking of this, Zhou An picked up the tofu next to him, took out the long knife from his waist, and tried to carve it.

But after trying it once, he gave up immediately.

  Tofu is not as simple to carve as wood, and it also requires the use of a long knife at the waist.

Isn't it embarrassing for people to use things that they cut off to carve tofu?

 As long as you apply a little force, the tofu will fall apart.

 The most important thing is that after he spent time and effort carving a piece, his proficiency did not change.

“Perhaps, I should compromise.” Zhou An thought.

 He gave up carving tofu and found something soft.

Next to it, there is dough.

 Sometimes at noon, some pasta will be prepared.

This thing is softer than wood and harder than tofu.

 Zhou An thinks he can start from here.

Having said this, he took a piece of dough and tried carving it with a long knife for a while. After a while, he carved out the shape of a green vegetable.

 It's just that this green vegetable is much duller than the one carved from wood, with only a rough outline.

 When Zhou An finished the last stroke, a line of text appeared in front of him.

 【Pao Ding's knife skills lv.4 (speed +2, accuracy +2): 2/60000】

 There is a play!

 Zhou An's eyes showed joy.

He guessed right, carving dough is useful.

He temporarily put down the long knife in his hand and thought about things again.

 In front of his eyes, all his progress appeared before his eyes.

 【Pao Ding's knife skills lv.4 (speed +2, accuracy +2): 2/60000】

 【Banwu lv.4 (Strength +2, Destruction +2): 1/60000】

 【Wandering Dragon Step lv.3 (Speed ​​+2, Dodge +1): 38699/40000】

 【Blacksmithing lv.2 (hardness +1): 1/20000】

 About the matter, he has no idea yet, and he doesn’t plan to do it right away.

Zhou An thought about the current situation carefully and felt that there was no time now, so he asked him to spread his proficiency equally.

The best way is to improve your Dragon Step and Blacksmithing while specializing in the Pao Ding Jie Niu Dao.

 After all, Chef Ding already has a new way to solve his problem, and Dianwu needs to spend time trying it.

 Wandering Dragon Step is about to reach level 4, and there will be a huge improvement by then.

 “Just do it.”

After making up his mind, Zhou An didn’t think about it anymore. He picked up a piece of dough and started carving it carefully.

 …

While Zhou An was carving, a guest came to Zhensi Si.

 Zhang Si County was standing at the door to greet him.

 On the street in the distance, a woman wearing a goose-yellow dress with a veil on her face walked over.
