The VIP building has already opened a branch, and Tong Lanying is still considering opening another branch recently.

The 40,000 taels of silver borrowed by Yang Dewen have already been repaid, and it is not difficult to open a few more branches.

The point is that after several years of disaster, all walks of life are not having a good time, especially the catering industry, which has long been limited to the crisis.

In addition to a powerful restaurant like the VIP building, in the face of high-end consumers, the impact is not too great, but the profit decline is also at stakes, mainly because of the high purchase price of various ingredients.

However, this is very inapplicable to the VIP building, because the leisurely residence is special and only sold exclusively in the VIP building.

Not only that, the VIP building is exclusively operated, as well as the Supreme Leisurely Residence, which are all advantages that other large restaurants do not have.

Knowing that Yang Dewen came to the restaurant, Tong Lanying was overjoyed, although the relationship between the two was only the last step.

But because both of them are very busy, there is not much time to meet.

Yang Dewen told Tong Lanying's father and daughter about his situation and his plans.

"Lan Ying, uncle, if you have any ideas, you can also put them forward." Yang Dewen asked after finishing speaking.

"Since you have taken over the order to be the lieutenant of Kangde County, it is also good to let Lan Ying pass through the door as soon as possible, so that Lan Ying can also take over the operation of Leisurely Residence, and the old man has no opinion." Tong Changqing said with a smile.

"Let's talk, the old man will go and let the kitchen make a few drinks, let's eat dinner here, let's have a few drinks." Tong Changqing glanced at him and walked away happily.

As soon as Tong Changqing left, the atmosphere between the two was different.

"Lan Ying, in three years, if I can't go to the capital, you will regret following me." Yang Dewen asked.

"How can Lan Ying regret it, Gongzi will be my father-in-law in the future, whether Gongzi is a scholar or a colt, as long as Gongzi will not abandon Lan Ying, Lan Ying will always follow Gongzi." Tong Lanying said shyly.

"Actually, I mean, what will happen in the future, I don't actually have any bottom in my heart, if you quit now, it's still too late." Yang Devin said.

"Princess, what do you think of Lan Ying? Am I, Tong Lanying, the kind of person who goes back on my word?

What I like is Gongzi, no matter what the identity of Gongzi is, whether he is poor or rich, I Tong Lanying will not regret my choice. Zhong Lanying stood up excitedly and said.

"Lan Ying!" Yang Dewen also stood up excitedly and said.

A woman can be so affectionate to him, Yang Dewen can still bear it, and say anything to reject her, if at this time, he still has to say those words, wouldn't it be too cruel to Tong Lanying.

Yang Dewen stretched out his hands, and Tong Lanying threw herself into Yang Dewen's arms without hesitation.

Yang Dewen hugged Tong Lanying tightly in his arms, and the two hearts were also connected most closely at this moment.

"Xianggong!"

"Lady!"

Yang Dewen let go of the hand that hugged Tong Lanying tightly, the two looked at each other, at this moment, there was only each other in their eyes, and all the words were superfluous.

The two figures under the candle flame approached again, Yang Dewen lowered his head and kissed Tong Lanying's forehead, nose, face, and finally landed on her seductive little mouth.

……

After Tong Lanying passed the door, Yang Dewen's focus was placed in Minghe Village, he grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he studied at an agricultural university.

Under the careful cultivation of Yang Dewen, the growth of peppers is gratifying, and small white flowers have begun to grow.

More than 200 corn plants have been planted, as well as sweet potato seedlings, which are also growing well, and it is time to prepare for transplanting.

"Master, this potato seedling you are talking about, if it is inserted in the ground like this, will it really live? It has no roots, how can it live? Erya asked curiously.

"Don't call me master, have you forgotten what my son said?"

"Yes! Son. ”

"That's how this sweet potato is buried! Have you ever seen a willow tree? If the willow tree sticks to the river, it will grow on its own! The truth of this sweet potato is similar to that. Yang Dewen really couldn't explain this truth, so he had to use willow trees to explain.

"Okay, you take all these sweet potato rattans like mine, cut them into sections, pay attention to the diagonal cut below, so that it is easier to insert them." Yang Dewen commanded.

Erya felt that this master was so strange, the things he planted were all things he had never seen and had never even heard.

However, at noon, the master personally cooked, and the fried plate of Qinglai called Xiaobailai was really delicious!

I didn't expect that such a rich person as the master would also cook Lai, and the Lai, and the Lai, which was delicious.

The longer Erya gets along with Yang Dewen, the more curious she is about Yang Dewen, and Yang Dewen never seems to be a master in front of her.

What is said and done is always something new.

"The children in the village, don't they read?" Yang Dewen said as he cut the branches of the sweet potato.

"It's not easy for people in the village to even have a full meal, and there is spare money to send their children to school." Erya came back to her senses and replied.

"Alas! In fact, farming also requires culture, and a person who does not know how to read and write will not be able to farm well. Yang Dewen said casually.

"Sir...... No, Childe, why do you need to know words for farming? Isn't it all about planting the seeds, weeding, fertilizing, watering, and waiting for the harvest? The people in the village are illiterate, haven't they also grown crops all their lives? Erya said in surprise.

I've never heard anyone say that farming also requires literacy, and the master is really different.

"Then what's the same, you just say, if someone in the village had already made a waterwheel, then in the past few years, it wouldn't have been mixed up without even a full meal, right?

Therefore, knowledge is power, and the gap between the educated, literate peasants, and the peasants who know how to settle accounts is even bigger than the peasants who can't read a single word. Yang Dewen said.

"But didn't you invent those, Childe? How did you get involved with the farmers who farmed? Erya asked suspiciously.

"Then let me ask you, what is Ben Gongzi doing now? Is this called farming? Yang Dewen asked.

"But Childe is a scholar with a reputation for himself!"

"It doesn't matter what my identity is, as long as I'm farming, I'm a farmer, I'm literate, I can be literate, so I can come up with a way to make a watermill to solve the problem of drought.

And the peasants in the village, because they are illiterate and uneducated, they can't think of what kind of water wheel to solve the irrigation problem. ”

"That's because the son is smarter than others, the young master of the landlord's family that I used to study with, he is also a scholar, and he is still an official in the capital now, so why can't he think of it, and he wants a waterwheel to irrigate."

Erya's brain reacted very quickly, which greatly surprised Yang Dewen's expectations, and the topic that he finally talked about was killed by Erya.

Seeing that Yang Dewen stopped talking, Erya thought that Yang Dewen was angry with him, and she was worried that Yang Dewen would fire her when she was angry.

In fact, Yang Dewen was not angry with Erya, but he really couldn't think of what words to answer.

"There are many benefits to reading and writing, you wouldn't deny that, would you?" Yang Dewen changed the subject and said.

"Yes! Like Gongzi, who now has the fame of Xiucai, he can be promoted in the future, and he can have the opportunity to enter Beijing to take the top exam in the future, and then he can become a big official.

But many people don't have the money to study! In fact, everyone wants to read. But if you don't have money, you can't hire a gentleman, and those books are very expensive, even those pen, ink and paper are not cheap.

So there is no way for the peasants to afford to read. If a person can afford to read, he will not be called a peasant. ”

Erya, who knows a lot of words and has secretly read some books, still understands a lot of truths.

"Erya, you know a lot of words, if you were asked to teach the children in the village to read, would you be willing?" Yang Dehua asked suddenly.

"No, no, No, Er Ya only knows a few words, how can he teach well? Childe, don't make such a joke, it will scare Erya. Erya hurriedly shook her head and said.

"Actually, I don't need you to teach too much, just just teach the children and know some words. That's not that hard for you!

How should I teach them how to read, I will teach you how to read, and then I will buy some books for you to read, let you read, and teach you, and then you will come forward and give them to the children in the village, how about it? Is there confidence? Yang Dewen suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Now that you have crossed into this world, you must leave something for this world, and a hundred years later, when people mention the three words Yang Dewen, they will not have no impression at all.

And what can I leave for the world? Soap, wine, these things alone are not enough, because as the years go by, with the passage of time, people will gradually forget.

It's like people in the 21st century, no one will remember who invented soap and who invented laundry detergent, but when they mention electric lights, they immediately think of Einstein.

When people think of gravity, they think of Newton. When it comes to poetry, people will think of Li Bai. When it comes to Song Ci, people will think of Su Shi.

What Heyang Devon wants to leave for the world is a window that opens science.

Even in his lifetime, he could not produce airplanes and cannons. You can't go to the moon, you can't go to the deep sea.

But at least let you know that the place under your feet is round, and the numbers can be replaced by Arabic numerals, in addition to Daqin and the surrounding countries, on the other side of the sea, there are many countries, and some of them are not weaker than Daqin.
