Chapter 63.

Da Chu Qing?

Zhou An was slightly stunned, and after searching the memories in his mind, he realized it.

The so-called Great Chu Celebration was actually a festival.

But this festival was very important and was held once a year.

And every place had to participate.

Whether it was a large city or a small county, none of them were exempt.

The reason is simple.

The Great Chu Celebration is a once-a-year event that starts from the day the Great Chu Kingdom was founded.

It was mainly set up to celebrate the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom.

In this annual event, there were songs and dances, and all sorts of performances, making it a lively event.

Whether it was the people or the officials, they were most relaxed on this day.

Of course, the exceptions were constables like Zhou An and the others.

Because maintaining order was also what they had to do, they were busy on this day.

“Let’s watch the show by the way.” Zhou An said.

There was no way to do this for this kind of annual event.

And it seemed like it was only two days away.

The two of them chatted for a while longer, before Zhou An returned to his home and practiced the Swimming Dragon Steps.

The growth in proficiency had become quite slow, but at least it was still long.

In time, if it didn’t go up, Zhou An would still have to spend time thinking of other methods.

Just like the Upside Down Objects and Butcher’s Sword Technique, which had stagnated right now.

After livering for a while longer, he fell into a deep sleep.

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

The atmosphere today was very different.

Walking down the street, one could see a festive atmosphere, with lights and colors on every house, it was simply more lively than the New Year.

The vendors on both sides of the street had also become significantly more numerous, this annual Great Chu Celebration was also a good opportunity for them to get rich.

Even the snack stall where Zhou An ate noodles had become crowded, he could even hear the excited conversations of many people.

“My lord, an extra omelette for you.” The boss came over with a happy face, chucked an omelette and placed it in Zhou An’s bowl.

Eating here often, the two were familiar with each other, and the boss knew that Zhou An was different from other constables.

Other constables didn’t even have to pay for their meals, but Zhou An always paid for his meals and didn’t have much of a presence, just like an ordinary person.

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

Even the noodles in Zhou An’s bowl were a little more than others.

“Boss, on the day of the Great Chu Celebration, don’t you even take a break?” Zhou An asked.

The boss scratched his head and said in a naive manner, “We’re a small door and a small road, how dare we take a break, it’s just that we can take advantage of this time to earn a little more.”

These days, who doesn’t want to rest.

Doing less work and earning more without labor is the ideal of many people.

These things, right, are to be spelled out by oneself.

Zhou An didn’t chat much, the boss was also very busy and left after a few words.

After eating, Zhou An walked towards the county office.

All along the way there were people coming and going, each with a smile on their face.

In the past, they were tired of making a living, but today, they had all unloaded their burdens.

Zhou An also heard quite a few conversations.

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

“I heard long ago, it just happens to be the Great Chu Celebration, so they also want to make a profit here.”

“Isn’t this the one invited by the magistrate? I heard that on the first day they came, they sang the magistrate’s favor for a day.”

“My distant relative is the master of the government office, I know this, this troupe is really not invited by the magistrate.”

“Then why sing the magistrate’s favor?”

“Are you stupid? If you don’t sing good, do you want to sing bad? On the first day of his arrival, he sang the magistrate’s favor first, so he has reported his family’s name, otherwise could he sing on?”

At the intersection, there were two people talking.

Zhou An, who had bright ears and eyes, heard the conversation and was also a little surprised.

When he first heard the theater troupe, he really thought that it was invited by the county magistrate, but now it seems that he had misunderstood, and that this guy had come on his own.

But this is also a misunderstanding, he did not feel anything, the time from the point of time is also close, Zhou An walked a little faster.

He came to the government office, and just punctually ordered the dao, not counting his absence.

After dawning, he ran to the kitchen again, thinking carefully about the next route of improvement.

Right now, the only things that could be improved were the traveling dragon step and ironwork.

Blacksmithing would just go every day at noon, Dragon Walking would be practiced at night, and Dragon Walking was not far from level four.

As for the Butchering Knife Technique and Bumping Objects, they were currently at level four and needed to be used in a new way.

Upside Down Objects needed another idea, but Butcher’s Knife Technique, he had an idea.

Didn’t he carve wood before? Now carve a little something soft and see if it can be upgraded.

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

But after trying once, he immediately gave up.

Carving tofu was not simpler than wood, and one had to use the long knife at his waist.

Something that cuts people, used to carve tofu, isn’t this a difficult task for people?

With just a little bit of force, the tofu would fall apart.

The most crucial thing was that after he took the time and effort to carve a piece, the proficiency did not change.

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

He gave up carving tofu and looked for something soft.

Next to it, the dough was laid out.

Sometimes at noon, some pasta would be prepared.

This thing, was softer than wood and harder than tofu.

Zhou An felt that he could start from here.

Speaking of which, he took a piece of dough and tried to carve it with a long knife for a while, and in no time, carved out the shape of a green vegetable.

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

When Zhou An finished the last knife, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[Butcher’s Knife Technique lv.4 (Speed +2, Accuracy +2): 2/60,000]

There was a play!

Zhou An’s eyes revealed joy.

It was right as he had guessed, the Carved Dough was useful.

He temporarily put down the longsword in his hand and pondered over the upside down object again.

Before his eyes, all the progress about him surfaced.

[Butcher’s Blade Technique lv.4 (Speed +2, Accuracy +2): 2/60,000]

[Bumping Things lv.4 (Strength +2, Destruction +2): 1/60,000]

[Wandering Dragon Step lv.3 (Speed +2, Dodge +1): 38,699/40,000]

[Beat Iron lv.2 (Hardness +1): 1/20000]

Regarding the Upside Down Objects, he didn’t have an idea yet, he wasn’t going to get them right away.

Zhou An thought carefully about the current situation and felt that there was no time right now for him to level up his proficiency.

The best thing to do was to specialize in Butchering Knife while improving Swimming Dragon Steps and Ironwork.

After all, the Butcher’s Knife already had a new method, and Bumpers was going to take the time to try it out.

The Swimming Dragon Steps were also about to be level four, so there would be another huge boost when the time came.

“Let’s do it.”

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

While Zhou An was carving, a guest came to the Zhen Gui Si.

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

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