Chapter 89.

Regardless of the place, there was always a location that sold specialty products.

Even in a small place like Anding County, there were people who specialized in selling specialties.

Even if it was a small county, there would be a few people coming and going from time to time.

Yesterday, Zhou An and Ye Frost had agreed on a time, and today was earlier than before.

When Zhou An arrived at the specialty street, he saw Ye Frost waiting in a gray coat.

This girl was a bit silly, and a bit gluttonous, but there was no problem with this aspect of punctuality.

After all, every time he ate breakfast, he had just ordered breakfast and it was only served on the table when this girl arrived on time.

Sometimes Zhou An even wondered if Ye Frost was specifically catatonic in one place, waiting for the food to be served before coming over.

“Zhou An, good morning!” Ye Frost waved excitedly when she saw Zhou An.

It was only then that Zhou An saw Ye Frost carrying an oversized cloth bag on her left hand.

“You don’t really want to empty this street, do you?” The corner of Zhou An’s mouth twitched.

Ye Frost lowered his head, looked at the cloth bag in his hand, and mouthed, “It’s not to move empty …… load a little bit, and eat on the way, otherwise you’ll be hungry.”

Zhou An held his forehead with his hand and said breathlessly, “I see that your talismans are out of thin air, there should be a place to store things, why do you still carry a cloth bag?”

Ye Frost opened his eyes like a star and moon, “But I can’t just load it in front of the people.”

Zhou An thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was not right, as if he was being brought up to speed by Ye Frost again.

Is this the time to discuss cloth bags?

Zhou An patted Ye Frost on the shoulder, “Let’s go, today is my treat.”

“Any day is your treat.” Ye Frost muttered.

The two of them entered this street that specialized in specialties, and as soon as they entered, they saw a lot of people on both sides of the street, who had already started setting up their stalls.

Everything rolled these days.

Including the people’s lives, which were also rolled up.

You don’t get up early, others get up early, others make money, you don’t make money.

So now although it is early in the day, there are already quite a few vendors starting their business.

“Then …… I started?” Ye Frost looked at this street selling specialties and solicited Zhou An’s opinion.

This street, she had also come to shop.

But she was an outsider anyhow, and strolling here was not as much as the locals would stroll.

Although she was following Zhou An’s opinion, Ye Frost’s two long legs were already out of control, walking towards a vendor.

“Wait!” Seeing this, Zhou An hurriedly lifted the back of Ye Frost’s neck collar.

Ye Frost looked back at Zhou An pitifully.

“Is there any more ceremony?”

Zhou An helplessly said, “There are some things in here that are specialized in cheating outsiders, not considered specialties, come with me, I’ll take you there.”

Even if he was a traveling party, he still had some memories, and was naturally familiar with these.

Ye Frost gave an oh, hurriedly retreated back, obediently following Zhou An’s side.

Next, Zhou An brought Ye Frost and wandered around on this street.

By the time the two of them came out from inside, Zhou An already had an extra oversized cloth bag in his hands.

It was filled with food in abundance!

Zhou An was underestimating this girl’s ability too much, and also underestimating the caliber of this street.

Fortunately, today was early, and now there was still some time before the point.

Ye Frost stood on the street, looking down at her toes.

“Then I’m leaving oh.”

She had to leave, there were still adventures left to do.

Zhou An nodded, “What, you still can’t let me go?”

Ye Frost raised her head with a look of excitement in her eyes, “There’s still a place I want to go shopping.”

Zhou An stroked his chin, “Where?”

Ye Frost pointed in a direction, “The green house.”

Slap!

Zhou An slapped on Ye Frost’s head, “Get lost, get lost.”

A big girl’s family going to a greenhouse, saying it out loud makes people feel funny.

Ye Frost shrunk his neck, “If you don’t go, then don’t go, what’s the point of hitting someone?”

Zhou An’s face instantly darkened.

Just then, Ye Frost threw over an object.

Zhou An subconsciously received it in his hands and realized that it was a money bag.

The money bag was pink in color and had a nice embroidered pattern on it, it looked like it belonged to a lady.

“Nah, you’ve treated me to so many meals, I don’t have anything good to give you, this is what I got my teacher’s friend to practice with, there’s a small space inside.”

Ye Frost compared it to a space of about a cubic meter or so.

“That friend of my teacher’s is a refiner, it’s awesome, I heard that he was originally a blacksmith and entered the profession with his technique.”

“The mouth of the money bag can be contracted, as long as there is enough space inside, it can all fit.”

Zhou An listened with one ear and opened the money bag to take a look.

There really was a space inside.

It wasn’t big, only about a cubic meter, but it was enough to pile up some things.

There were many different kinds of lines in this world, especially inside the Miscellaneous Sect.

Having this kind of ability, Zhou An did not find it unusual.

But this thing, it seemed to be a bit expensive.

Zhou An just wanted to say something.

“Let’s go ah, Zhou An!”

Ye Frost waved her hand, shouldered the oversized cloth bag, and prepared to leave.

“Wait.”

Zhou An called out to Ye Frost.

Ye Frost turned back and said in a tone that pretended to be mature, “No thanks, no thanks.”

“Thank you!” Zhou An said.

“Can’t you give a more masculine money bag?”

Isn’t it amusing to have a pink money bag hanging from your waist?

Ye Frost beamed, “What would I use a masculine money bag for?”

Zhou An pondered, this seems right.

He also looked deeper here, it was good to have something to use.

Men can’t use pink?

Can’t you use fierce man powder?

I’m a fierce man, I use pink, what’s wrong with that?

Does it affect my ability to cut people with a knife?

Doesn’t affect.

“Let’s go.”

It was still early, so Zhou An sent Ye Frost to the entrance of the county town, and only after Ye Frost left carrying the cloth bag did he turn around and prepare to go to the point.

On the way back, Zhou An had already put the money bag on his waist, although it was rather eye-catching, but it was quite nice after looking at it for a long time.

In the morning, he still practiced the Butcher’s Sword Technique.

At noon, Zhou An went to the blacksmith store again.

For some reason, Zhou An felt that Blacksmith Zhao always had an inexplicable emotion when he looked at the money bag around his waist.

Of course, he didn’t pay attention to it and concentrated on beating the iron.

So, according to this rhythm, many more days passed ……

Zhou An’s proficiency, that was exploding by leaps and bounds.

“Today’s proficiency, let’s liver here.”

Looking at the late night outside the window, Zhou An retracted his gaze.

In front of his eyes, the latest proficiency surfaced.

[Butcher’s Sword Technique lv.4 (Speed +2, Accuracy +2): 16668/60,000]

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

[Swimming Dragon Step lv.4 (Speed +2, Dodge +2): 1/60,000]

[Fusion Casting Method lv.3 (Hardness +2, Fusion +1): 12500/40,000]

After so many days, he was literally bursting at the seams, and his proficiency had risen to a great extent.

The Butcher’s Blade and Fusion Casting methods were his main focus.

Right now, both of these abilities had increased significantly.

Especially the Fusion Casting Method, because it was going to be one level lower, it actually had a hidden tendency to overtake it.

Right now, when Zhou An went to make iron, the two iron bars were already able to close a quarter of the way.

He estimated that he would be able to reach the fourth level when the entire iron bar was all together.

“The road is long.”

Zhou An thought of the poem again.

“That said, the new magistrate should be arriving soon, right?”

He thought in his mind.

The night passed quickly.

The next day.

Zhou An got up early, intending to have a meal.

It was the same familiar noodle stall, but this time, he only ordered one bowl.

The owner served the noodles and muttered.

“Lord Zhou, you and your young daughter-in-law are still in conflict?”

“If you ask me, you two don’t have any conflicts, how long has it been and you’re still the one eating here.”

Zhou An expressionlessly ate his noodles and faintly mumbled.

He couldn’t go to explain, and had explained a sentence, but the other party didn’t listen anymore.

These neighborhoods were about a gossip and not listening.

Encountered more, he was lazy to explain.

After eating noodles, Zhou An went to the Yamen as usual.

This time, but did not meet Zhang Si County.

He was probably still busy with the aftermath.

Today’s yamen carried a bit of a different meaning.

Zhou An had just crossed in and felt it.

The constables surprisingly did not touch the fish, and they also pretended to be very busy one by one, working a little here and there.

But the key thing was, what were you guys busy with?

There is nothing to keep you busy.

The most exaggerated is, a constable, even carry a bucket of water to water the flowers.

There are a few constables holding a booklet and flipping through it, and at a closer look, it’s the dossier from the previous years.

Yu Hang was also in there, not reading at this time, and kept making eyes at Zhou An.

Zhou An walked over.

Before he could speak, Yu Hang whispered.

“Hurry up and find something to do, the new magistrate has arrived and is in the inner room, it’s troublesome.”

When Zhou An heard this, he instantly understood.

Hoping that the few of you are working so seriously, it turns out to be the new county official master has arrived.

No wonder.

Usually, everyone is so happy to touch the fish together, this sudden seriousness at this time, there really is something going on!

In fact, this matter is no different from the workplace.

In the workplace, a new leader over, you have to touch the leadership temper.

But how to touch is a problem.

You can’t just go up and touch the temper right away, so you can only do one thing, and it’s the one thing you can’t do wrong.

That is to pretend to be busy.

Even if it was the worst leader, he wouldn’t dislike a hardworking employee.

Zhou An stroked his chin and looked at the dry and clean courtyard.

At this time, there wasn’t even a broom in the courtyard.

One of the constables was sweeping the ground with a broom.

“Here, you go wipe the wall.” Yu Hang tore half of the rag in his own hand and handed it to Zhou An.

Zhou An looked at the wall that had already been wiped three times, and his entire body was speechless.

It was also at this time that a sound of footsteps came from the inner courtyard.

A young man in official clothes, around thirty years old, walked out from inside.

The young man had a good instrument and was carrying a scholarly aura as he walked out.

If it wasn’t for the official uniform on his body, one would really think that he was a person who had been studying hard for years.

In the young man’s hand, he was holding a scroll.

“Greetings, Lord Wu!”

As expected of a person who went up by giving gifts, Constable Sun was still quite resourceful, arching his hand first and shouting out.

Seeing this, several other constables also shouted out Lord Wu.

The new magistrate Wu Youde had a hard time.

Ever since he passed the last imperial examination, he has been an official in the capital, although his official position is not big, but he is still an official in the capital anyways.

But this time, when something happened in Anding County, His Majesty the Emperor sent him to Anding County by a holy decree.

To be honest, his rank had gone up.

Now he is also in charge of a county, but transferred to such a remote place, it’s hard to get out.

There was a lot of competition for selection, and it was a bit difficult to get out of this thing.

He is a reader, and he is a reader who has stepped into the threshold.

According to one of his logics, it was possible to slowly move up the ladder in the capital, but now it was estimated that the difficulty had increased a hundredfold.

The most crucial thing was that when he arrived, the entire crowd was speechless.

The constables in the courtyard were uneven, and one was more of a jerk than the other.

The outrageous thing was that the current constable was still relying on gifts to send him up, a mediocre talent.

Most importantly, he also heard that a constable has become a cook.

Just for some money?

The constable is the constable, but also as what cook?

Thinking about this, Wu Youde was furious.

“For the next selection, we have to work hard anyways, but before that, we have to cure Anding County first.”

Wu Youde was over there just now, and also roughly understood a bit.

Although it was Magistrate Chen who had committed a capital offense, but Anding County didn’t make a mess for him.

It wasn’t bad, it could only be described as a moderate level.

Therefore, if he wanted to reorganize Anding County, the most crucial step would be internal reorganization.

Thinking about this, Wu Youde put his eyes around the circle and coughed.

“Don’t all get busy, what are you all busy with? Hurry up and gather.”

As Wu Youde made a sound, all the constables present also put down their hands and gathered in the center.

Everyone stood up straight, fearing that they would reveal themselves in a bad state.

Wu Youde slowly said, “I know what state you all were in before, but from now on, there will be no idlers inside the Yamen.”

The new official had three fires, and this first fire made the crowd hold their breath.

The first sentence was for them to stop touching the fish.

“From now on, you all have to go out and patrol the streets every day, only a few on duty will remain here, and the ones on duty must be serious.”

The crowd did not dare to speak.

Wu Youde’s gaze went to Sheriff Sun.

Sheriff Sun immediately shivered.

“I know how your constable came to be, but I won’t bother about it, from now on, you have to do what your constable is supposed to do, if there is any half-assedness, I’ll take you to the test.” Wu Youde slowly said.

Sun sheriff wiped a handful of sweat on his face and hurriedly promised, “Yes, yes, yes, I will do my part.”

Only then did Wu Youde nod his head.

Immediately afterward, his eyes roamed among the constables.

“Who is Zhou An?”

Zhou An, who was originally plugging away at the bottom, froze for a moment when he heard this, and then raised his hand, indicating that he was Zhou An.

“From now on, you don’t have to worry about the kitchen, you join their ranks and patrol every day.” Wu Youde said.

Zhou An sniffed and raised an eyebrow, putting his raised hand down.

Wu Youde frowned, “Do you have a problem?”

He looked at Zhou An’s meaning, as if he did not quite agree.

Zhou An nodded, “Yes.”
