Wang Gui settled down first and stayed until ten o'clock for dinner, but it was dinner with Zhang Hao and others in the academy.

Although the academy is far away from the capital, it is not too remote, and in terms of food, there are still all kinds of chicken, duck and fish.

Moreover!

In order to celebrate, Du Shen also cooked a few dishes himself, including the green cabbage that he had just picked from the vegetable greenhouse.

"Come, apprentices, try the craftsmanship of the teacher, this Chinese cabbage is quite tender, and it tastes very good."

He spoke softly, sandwiched a piece of cabbage for each of his apprentices, and greeted Liu Quan.

Liu Quan is not polite, he has long known about the cabbage in the vegetable greenhouse, and the green one makes people look comfortable.

When you bite into it, your mouth is immediately full of relish, with a hint of sweetness, which opens your taste buds.

While eating the meal, Du Shen was thinking: Now the Chinese cabbage is almost the same, and it will be the winter season in a few days, and the entire north of the Ming Dynasty will be extremely cold at that time.

Not to mention everything, even fresh vegetables are unlikely to be eaten.

And the cabbage in the vegetable greenhouse is definitely impossible to eat, and the original intention is to make some money and supplement the family.

In a few days, I will have to go to the capital and do some business with the rich merchants in the capital.

He thought like this, but he didn't notice that the little apprentice Wang Gui's face was a little pale.

At this time.

Wang Gui finally reacted, why was Senior Brother Xu Pengju so kind and wanted to give himself a cabbage, and he also knew why Senior Brother Zhang Hao's expression was so weird.

You know, where he lives now, a green cabbage is being placed in the corner and planted in the soil.

He looked at Xu Pengju in disbelief, could this cabbage be stolen?

Xu Pengju didn't expect that Shizun, who had always been extremely protective of the cabbage in the vegetable greenhouse, would take one and cook it himself, and he was embarrassed.

Ahem......

Senior brother, don't panic, I won't pit you as a brother.

He gave Wang Gui a reassuring look.

However, where can Wang Gui get up with peace of mind, eating cabbage in his mouth, he can't swallow it if he wants to, so he can only chew back and forth.

Du Shen was not hungry, and after a few bites of food, he discussed with Liu Quan.

"At present, the construction of the academy is progressing well, and it seems that as soon as the year closes, it will be able to open and recruit new students."

Liu Quan put down his chopsticks and said, "It's just that the principal and me are in the academy for the time being, if there are too many new students at that time, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it." ”

Du Shen nodded: "You reminded me, it seems that before recruiting new people, we have to recruit some talented people first." ”

"Talented people?"

Liu Quan was puzzled: "Why aren't you a reader?" ”

Du Shen explained: "Reading and literacy is a necessary condition for recruiting people, but if you are not talented, you can't teach one, two, or three when you enter the academy. ”

Liu Quan agreed with this, nodding his head while eating the food.

Du Shen stopped moving his chopsticks.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to do everything one by one.

He has a lot of ideas in mind, but for the time being, he still focuses on selling vegetables.

Suddenly!

A bright light flashed in Du Shen's eyes, and he looked at a few apprentices and smiled.

Although he has never done such a thing as selling vegetables, he also knows that to do business, you must first build a good reputation.

Several apprentices are all prominent families, if they tell their fathers about the out-of-season cabbage grown in the vegetable greenhouse, wouldn't it be equivalent to a gold signboard?

Thinking of this, Du Shen couldn't sit still, got up and said to Zhang Hao: "You wait to eat first, go to the vegetable greenhouse for the teacher to have a look, and in a few days, you wait to go to the capital with me, and bring some cabbage back by the way, it will be a gift for the teacher to your parents." ”

Zhang Hao thanked him.

And Du Shen finished speaking, and did not stay any longer, he carried an oil lamp and walked towards the vegetable greenhouse.

It was late at night, and there was silence in the greenhouse.

By the faint light of the oil lamp, Du Shenmei counted the Chinese cabbage he planted one by one.

He was even thinking in his heart what it would be like to change all these cabbages into silver.

However, at this moment, Du Shen's face changed suddenly.

"I'm Cao! Who the fuck dug Lao Tzu's cabbage! ”

I saw a whole column of cabbage that should have been erected in the distance, and three big pits appeared coldly, and the green and watery cabbage that should have grown in the pit disappeared.

Du Shen's eyelids jumped wildly, and his heart was extremely angry!

Is this cabbage?

It's money!

Even His Majesty himself could only ask for ten from himself, but now three have been stolen, and his methods are so heinous that they are unbearable!

The four big pits on the ground seemed to be mocking, and the angry Du Shen's face darkened.

Suddenly!

A thought crossed his mind!

It can't be Your Majesty, right?

Hiss......

Quite possibly!

Du Shen thought of this, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

His Majesty had people steal two of my cabbages before, and I had a criminal record first, maybe the ten cabbages I sent before had already been killed by him, so I sent someone to "steal" them here.

It's just that this thief is too powerful!

Unexpectedly, he quietly entered the academy and stole the cabbage out without realizing it.

You know, the door of the vegetable greenhouse is locked.

Can this be done?

Could it be that this thief is still a thief who is good at sliding doors and picking locks?

Other than that, Du Shen couldn't think of any possibility.

He gritted his teeth and roared: "Don't let me catch the thief who stole my cabbage, otherwise, even if you are behind Your Majesty, I will have to let you peel off your skin!" ”

……

Early the next morning.

The rooster crows three times.

Du Shen opened his eyes, and he had insomnia.

Without him, he had never suffered such a big loss, and he never forgot it all night, his mind was full of those four black pits, and he wanted to vomit blood in depression.

And the other side.

Wang Gui and Xu Pengju also had insomnia, after their master came out of the vegetable greenhouse last night, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, so they couldn't help but be afraid!

Even, when Wang Gui was sleeping, he hid the cabbage in the quilt, for fear of being discovered.

And Xu Pengju wanted to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, and gnawed the cabbage overnight, but he stole four last night, one of which was taken to drag Wang Gui into the water, and the remaining three were hidden by him, even if he was allowed to exert his strength up and down, he couldn't destroy the three cabbages!

Therefore, when everyone in the academy came out for breakfast early in the morning.

Zhang Hao, Zhao Xiu and Liu Quan were surprised to find that whether it was Du Shen or Xu Pengju, or Wang Gui who had just arrived, the faces of the three of them were extremely haggard, but the difference was that the eyes of the former were full of malice, as if someone owed him 100,000 taels of silver, which was very scary.

"Let's go! Follow the teacher to the capital! Meet your parents! ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Gui and Xu Peng's faces turned green.

Could it be that the master found out?
