Chapter 17
With this settled, Zhou An was also slightly relieved, and the tea, which was originally slightly bitter, felt a lot more fragrant.
He just stayed in his room feeling for fish until the afternoon, stopping by to go out for a bite to eat before he saw Chef Liu walk in.
“It’s done.” Cook Liu did not care too much and said two words in front of the other constables.
Zhou An cupped his fists and said, “Thanks a lot Old Liu, I’ll treat you to dinner some other day.”
Cook Liu shook his head, turned around and exited the room, and complained before he exited, “Don’t invite me for dinner either, just do it peacefully, don’t fish for three days and sun-dry the net for two days.”
After Cook Liu left, the constables present all looked puzzled and couldn’t figure out what in the world these two were up to.
Yu Hang and Zhou An relationship is the best, curious came over: “Old Zhou, what are you doing?”
Curious was really curious.
Since he knew that Zhou An was a mysterious expert, his heart felt like a cat scratching.
Now that Zhou An was making strange moves, he was even more curious.
Zhou An put down the teacup in his hand with an indifferent expression, “It’s nothing, it’s just that I want to help the cook.”
When the constables present heard this, they all revealed strange expressions.
They all knew about the matter of helping the chef.
But there was not much money to be made in it, so no one was willing to do it.
Zhou An saw what the crowd was thinking, moved out of the prepared speech: “These days can get a little bit is a little bit of it, although we in the eyes of the people in the eyes of the people, but in fact what is the situation are clear, can not go to the people every day to fish for oil, fishing more, when the time to eat can not be pocketed to go.”
The people then suddenly realized.
In the circle of constables in Anding County, Zhou An and Yu Hang were the only ones who didn’t do anything to fish for oil and water.
The constables thought that Zhou An wanted to make some extra money, but didn’t have the guts to do so, so they could only go through the regular channels.
Thinking about this, they stopped paying attention, only Yu Hang was different.
“Old Zhou, what’s the deal?”
Yu Hang spoke in a particularly low voice.
Zhou An shook his head and said, “It’s really nothing.”
This matter of proficiency was something that no one could talk about.
He had to keep it a secret.
After all, this was his greatest reliance.
Yu Hang had a constipated expression on his face.
He was familiar with Zhou An, so he knew that Zhou An wasn’t telling the truth.
But he didn’t ask much ah, even between good brothers, there had to be some privacy no.
“I’m staying at the government office tonight.” Yu Hang whispered, “You have to be careful.”
Zhou An nodded slightly.
This matter was not out of his expectation.
After all, Yu Hang was still a constable of the Yamen no matter what.
When something happened, the Yamen still had to step in to defend it.
This was also the reason why Zhou An did not quit his job as a constable.
If something big happens one day, then maybe this constable status will come in handy.
“Don’t go out of the courthouse at night.” Zhou An urged.
Yu Hang promised.
The yamen only covered lunch, so there was no need to help the cook at this time.
Zhou An continued to touch the fish, and this time, he touched the fish until it was time to go off duty.
Getting off duty was always a joy.
In the midst of laughter, Zhou An returned home with his long knife.
When he returned home, he ate his meal as usual and then continued the progress of the Liver Knife Skill.
The further back he went, the slower the progress became, but Zhou An wasn’t in a hurry.
These things themselves were to be livered out by time, and impatience was easy to mess up.
Throughout the night, nothing happened, Zhou An was silently livering in the tingling sensation of his entire right arm.
And in the next ten days or so, Zhou An’s life became extremely regular.
Every day was just to light up, then go to the kitchen to help the chef cut vegetables, and in the evening, he returned home to continue his liver knife skills.
I don’t know what was going on, but the entire Settlement County seemed to be safe in an instant, and there were no more incidents of gray rats worshipping people.
Moreover, the people from the Zhen Gui Si seemed to be very busy.
Sometimes when Zhou An just happened to pass by in passing, he could see the hurried figures inside.
“I guess there is an eyebrow, and the other party knows that they are investigating, so they are hiding.”
Zhou An plated the vegetables cut in front of him and looked at the text in front of him.
[Blade Skill lv.2 (Speed +1): 19856/20000]
He was really working on his liver day and night these days, and he only slept for two hours every day during the night.
And he also had to act.
Initially, pretending to be very bad, it was only after these few days that he slowly pretended to be skillful at chopping vegetables.
Anyway, it is the first pretend vegetables, then pretend skilled, and finally more and more skilled.
It was only after this set of processes came down that it made sense.
At lunch time.
Zhou An sat in the dining hall and spoke to Cook Liu while eating.
“Tomorrow, when you patrol the streets, you won’t come over to help.”
In these ten days or so, he had also patrolled the streets, and he would not come to help when he patrolled the streets.
Cook Liu nodded, “You are busy with your own, the rules are like this, if you have something to do, you should be busy first.”
Zhou An hmmmed and took another large bite of rice.
“Right, be careful when you patrol the streets, be smart.” Cook Liu reminded.
Zhou An felt that there was something in the words and asked, “What?”
Cook Liu looked left and right, and only after seeing that there were no idle people around, did he whisper, “When I was picking up goods a few days ago, I passed by the Zhen Gui Si on my way, and guess what? I saw quite a few members of the Zhen Gui Division with gauze wrapped around their bodies.”
Zhou An’s gaze condensed slightly.
This was wrapping gauze only when they were injured.
“It’s the Gray Mouse Worshippers, isn’t it?”
This matter was not considered a secret inside the county office, so Zhou An could safely and boldly say it.
Chef Liu raised his eyebrows, “It should be, that’s why I told you to be careful, don’t patrol the streets to a dead end, when the time comes, if something goes wrong, I’ll have one less helper chef here.”
Zhou An said breathlessly, “Old Liu, if you say this to someone else, you will definitely get two slaps, don’t care how old you are, this slap is set.”
After spending these ten days together, there was a tacit understanding between the two.
Zhou An realized that Cook Liu was a man who spoke without a word.
At the age of more than sixty, in fact, Cook Liu did not have any bad intentions, but he spoke too straight and easily offended people.
“Who dares to slap me? Maybe one day I’ll give you guys some laxatives.” Cook Liu joked.
The two didn’t talk more about this topic, but instead ate while chatting.
After lunch, Zhou An touched fish for the afternoon.
After dispersing his values, he bought some food and returned home.
The proficiency was just a hundred or so points short of being able to reach level three.
Zhou An felt that with the liver coming down tonight, it would probably be almost there.
After simply cooking a dinner and even drinking a cup of tea afterward, Zhou An then went to the cutting board and took out the extra dishes.
“Open the liver!”
Zhou An moved his wrist, lifted the chopper next to him, and began to liver.
Late at night, the sound of this chopping chopper resounded until the next morning.
The next day.
In order to liver this proficiency to its fullest, Zhou An stayed up all night.
When he put down the chopper the next morning, he even subconsciously chopped a bit.
“The Emperor’s Heaven is not responsible for the people who are willing to do it, one point of plowing, one point of harvesting.”
Looking at the words in front of him, Zhou An had a smile on his face.
