Early in the morning, Lin Zhao just woke up from the mist, so he took Lin Zhao to the field to watch.

Because the last time he wanted to grow golden peanuts, the farmland level was insufficient, so Lin Zhao raised the four farmlands to different levels, divided into 5, 4, 3, and 2 in order.

The crops that can be grown are also different. Level 5 farmland can grow sweet potatoes, peanuts, cucumbers, potatoes, white radish, and cabbage; level 4 farmland can grow peanuts, cucumbers, potatoes, white radish, and cabbage; Plant potatoes, white radishes and cabbage, level 1 can only grow white radish and cabbage.

All in all, high-level farmland can grow both high-level and low-level seeds, and low-level farmland can only plant low-level seeds.

What Buer pulled Lin Zhao to see was the level 5 farmland, where peanuts were grown. It was also the reward obtained for building the Zhaitang last time.

Looking at the half-plucked peanuts spread out on the farmland, he realized that it was time to harvest.

"Abbot, look! Is there something special about this peanut plant?"

Holding a plant of peanuts in his hands, Bu raised his hands and let him put it in front of Lin Zhao for him to see.

The freshly pulled peanuts are still stained with soil and are falling down.

Lin Zhao looked at it for a while, and found that among the crowded peanuts, there was one that was very different.

Although it is also covered with mud, its shell is different from other yellow-brown peanut shells.

is golden.

It turns out that this is the golden peanut that "has a certain chance to be planted" mentioned in the system introduction.

It doesn't look like pure gold, but the shell is golden, and it seems to be shining golden under the sunlight.

Only a piece of level 5 farmland can grow a golden peanut, the probability is quite low.

Both Buerbulei and Changmao suggested that they should be placed in the Hall of Heavenly Kings as an offering. Lin Zhao didn't know the role of golden peanuts for the time being, so he readily agreed.

As a result, when the pilgrims who came to worship at the Hall of Heavenly Kings raised their heads, they could see the golden peanut which was very different among the yellow-brown ones.

I don't know if this golden peanut attracted covetousness, but a big event happened in the temple.

Someone is stealing food!

Yes, someone from Lin Zhao's **** farm has come to steal vegetables!

Hearing the word "stealing food", Lin Zhao's subconscious reaction was not anger or worry, but a feeling of "finally here".

He knew that there is no farmland that is not stolen.

When playing **** farm, stealing food is a regular social activity among friends, a means of showing friendship.

I steal your vegetables to prove that your vegetables are grown well!

In real life, I have also heard news about old men and old ladies teaming up to go to other people's corn fields and watermelon fields in previous lives, and driving small three-wheeled corn to pick watermelons.

At that time, I felt that the old man and the old lady were ruining other people's hard work, but also felt a little funny.

Now it was his turn, he was a little dumbfounded.

Steal food into the temple.

The first person to discover is Budu.

He cares most about the growth of the crops in the farmland and takes care of them the most. He knows how much he has harvested today and what he has picked.

So the first time I found out that three Chinese cabbages had been taken away by someone.

There are four farmlands, one is planted with sweet potatoes, one is planted with cucumbers, and the other is planted with potatoes.

The sweet potatoes were planted just after the peanuts were harvested. The cucumbers were harvested last time, and now they are producing small melons, and the potatoes are just blooming.

Only Chinese cabbage was planted in three rows, and the first three plants in the second row that were the most juicy were stolen.

Yesterday, Fuji planned to pick and make vinegared cabbage for Shantong today.

No one has a clue about the suspects.

There are too many pilgrims coming and going in the temple, and it is possible for someone to sneak into the backyard to pick it up while others are not paying attention.

"This person knows where our backyard is, and also knows that the vegetables are grown in the backyard, so he can steal quickly without being discovered!" Bulei analyzed seriously.

"But the lay residents all know it, and it's easy to find out when you inquire about it, and it's easy to find it when you eat vegetarian food. The vegetarian hall is next to it, and anyone who accidentally walks into the backyard can see it."

Bu Er frowned in distress.

In fact, Lin Zhao didn't take this matter too seriously, but this once again exposed the temple's security problems, and he had to rely on the system to get the protection measures out as soon as possible, so he wrote another suggestion letter.

enmergency.

It is useless to be anxious. At present, these vegetables are the most eye-catching in the temple, and there is not much loss of profit.

There is also Huitong who is very capable of fighting. Although he has not witnessed his combat effectiveness so far, Lin Zhao is very relieved.

Usually when I wake up early, I can see Huitong exercising, playing with sticks and sticks so vigorously that the two children follow behind to learn.

And there is Shantong, although he is usually in the kitchen all day, but judging from his appearance and super high stamina, he is also capable of fighting.

Seeing that the two children cared so much and would not stop until the culprit was found out, Lin Zhao commissioned them to investigate the case of stealing vegetables with a half-play and half-exercise mind.

So the Qingquan Temple detective duo was formally established, and their first case was "Who is the vegetable thief?"

Lin Zhao didn't expect that the two of them actually caught the "murderer" in the end after such a playful investigation.

It was Lin Zhao who underestimated the seriousness of the two of them, and also overestimated the vigilance of the vegetable thief. He didn't expect that he would dare to come again in a short period of time after committing the crime just a few days ago.

Since that day, Bu Er Bu Tired has been squatting in the small room next to the kitchen during the lunch break and night when the vegetable thieves are most likely to appear.

The small room was originally a firewood room, and later it gradually became a storage room.

Lin Zhao put the haystack, the reward for completing the daily tasks, inside.

Buer Buti took the bedding, dismantled the haystack and laid it down, and slept on it, which was no less comfortable than in the monk's dormitory.

The two carried the snacks and drinks that Shantong had prepared for them, and while muttering and eating, they waited for the vegetable thief to come again.

Sure enough, three days later, they caught him.

At that time, everyone was taking a lunch break. Seeing that the vegetable thief was about to run away, he shouted loudly, "Brother Huitong", and Huitong rushed over to catch the vegetable thief who had fled to the gate.

The vegetable thief turned out to be a 40-year-old aunt in a silk hairpin sarong.

She had a blue cloth scarf tied on her head and a gray cloth skirt. When she was caught, the basket in her hand fell off, and a few Chinese cabbages rolled to her feet.

Seeing that she was caught, the aunt was a little panicked at first, but then she simply broke the jar.

"Kill me if you have the ability." She had a look on her face that would rather die than surrender.

I don't know if he is sure that the monks will not be too brutal and violent, or if he is sure to report to the officials, and the county magistrate will not pay attention to such trivial matters as stealing vegetables.

In her words:

"It's just a steal, what about it?"

This kind of thing was always picked up high and put down gently in the end. After thinking about it, she became more relaxed and calm.

In fact, she only kept one of the stolen vegetables for her family to eat, and sold the rest. I heard that it was Chinese cabbage from Qingquan Temple, and many people wanted it. She was clever, so she specially selected rich families to sell them, and they sold them for twenty taels of silver.

The Chinese cabbage looked different from ordinary ones, and they took it without her trying to prove it.

With just two cabbage plants, I changed a house, and even had the gift money for my son to marry his wife.

After selling and earning money, the more she thought about it at night, the faster her heart beat. When she woke up, she simply went up the mountain again and sneaked in when everyone was resting.

Aunt Stealing Vegetables rolled her eyes and simply sat down on the spot.

This noisy lunch break is coming to an end, and the laity and pilgrims who come and go see that the influence is not good.

Lin Zhao did not report to the official, and the cabbage is not easy to determine. Although it is very valuable in the eyes of some people, it is only a cabbage in the end. For this reason, going to court with a village woman will leave the pilgrims with the power of Qingquan Temple in their hearts. The overwhelming impression, even if the fault is not on their side.

As the world was like this, Lin Zhao simply let Aunt Stealing Vegetables go, and put her on the blacklist of never interacting with her like Qiu Xiucai.

In the future, they will be safe and sound for the rest of their lives, and it is best to go smoothly. If there is any serious illness or minor disaster, and then ask to go to the temple, Lin Zhao will not soften his heart.

During the night, he wrote a secret letter.

In a funny and humorous tone, he narrates the theft incident between Qiu Xiucai and Auntie Stealing Vegetables, and praises the patience of not being tired enough to catch the "murderer" who stole the vegetables. Stop writing and seal the letter.

Under the cypress tree in the yard, Lin Zhao whistled, put a can of Shantong spicy Chinese cabbage and secret letters on the ground, and entered the house.

He knew that although the emperor was in a bad situation, he would still send people to secretly protect his illegitimate son.

really. Lin Zhao went back to the house and lay down for a while, then opened the window to look, and everything under the cypress tree was gone.

In writing this letter, he not only contacted the emperor, but also reminded him to send as many people as possible.

Although the case of Auntie Stealing Vegetables was small, it also reminded Lin Zhao that there will still be people who are motivated by interests and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

It would be ridiculous if he was kidnapped and exchanged for Chinese cabbage one day when he was not tired.

It would be great if there were eighteen arhats like Shaolin Temple.

Lin Zhao was lying on the bed, suddenly such a thought flashed through his mind.

Yes! Lin Zhao patted the bed excitedly, startling Bu Er who was sleeping soundly next to him.

why not? Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future!

Take in more children and let them practice martial arts with Shan Tong since childhood, so why worry about not having eighteen arhats in the future.

Not only must there be monks, but he also needs to have a special guard at the gate of the mountain, as well as monks who patrol at night and sign up for the time.

There are also supervisors, fans, posting cases, prisons, and intellectuals...

In the dream, Lin Zhao stood at the highest point of Qingquan Temple, looking at the scene full of talents below, and laughed out loud.
