Go back to 1990 to start a business

Xia Chuan and the two walked for less than 3 minutes, arrived at a long and narrow alley, and found an ordinary signboard that said Yuebin Restaurant.

The two walked in and found that there were only seven and a half dining tables in total, but seven of them were full.

Most of the guests were foreigners, and they seemed to be of high status. Everyone spoke in a low voice, and no one made a loud noise.

Xia Chuan and Lao Dao were the only two people, sitting directly in front of half of the table.

The place was obviously understaffed and no one came to greet either of them.

"This is probably the most famous restaurant in Yanjing. You need to make a reservation to come here, do you believe it?" Xia Chuan said with a smile.

"You made an appointment? I don't believe it."

"I didn't make a reservation. Only this half of the table doesn't need to be reserved. I guess it's empty." Xia Chuan smiled proudly.

"Why is it so famous?" Lao Tao asked curiously.

"Did you see the business license on the wall?"

"Liu Guixian."

"No, it's the time when the license is issued. Do you understand? This is the first private restaurant in Yanjing. Liu Guixian was originally a handyman in a kindergarten. There are five children in his family. Because he was really struggling to make a living, he opened this small restaurant. .

It was not easy on the first day of business, because all food - grain, oil, fish, meat, poultry, and eggs were all provided by ticket.

Because it is the first independent restaurant in Beijing, many foreign reporters come to take photos and interviews every day, and they ask the same questions:

Did you open this restaurant yourself or was the government asking you to open it?

Are you worried about being criticized in the future?

Will the money you earn be taken away by others?

In fact, Liu Guixian himself wanted to find someone to ask questions clearly.

On New Year's Eve, the two vice presidents came to pay her New Year's greetings in person, and she was finally completely relieved.

It was from this time on that a new term became popular: self-employed.

It refers to people like Liu Guixian who have no state protection and set up small shops independently. It sounds like they have mixed feelings, including contempt, sympathy, and a little envy of their "freedom".

Over the years, she has made a lot of money, but she has never expanded, never thought about changing to a new sign, or left this alley.It’s just that her meals are getting better and better. "

The old Taoist nodded slightly.

The kitchen door curtain opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out. After serving the guests with a plate in her hand, she walked up to Xia Chuan and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

“We can serve whatever we can, as much as we can, hot or cold, stir-fried or cold. Beer or white wine doesn’t matter,” Xia Chuan said with a smile.

The woman smiled and wondered why I always meet such kind and tolerant customers, while others say that the guests are so difficult to deal with.

She said kindly: "Thank you, please wait a moment."

She walked into the kitchen and quickly brought out two platters and two bottles of beer. She said, "Young people should drink less liquor. They won't be as good as Li Bai."

Xia Chuan and Lao Dao laughed.

The woman left, but the foreign woman who was eating at the nearest table came over happily, bent down and asked in fluent Chinese: "Little brother, what did Liu Guixian just say?"

Xia Chuan asked in surprise: "Are you a reporter?"

"Yes."

"I really wonder, what's there to write about when she talks to guests?" Xia Chuan asked.

The woman said with a speechless expression: "She and the reporter are always serious. It doesn't sound like the truth, but it's different from you two."

Xia Chuan nodded and said, "It makes sense. I just said that foreign women are really scary. They would eat anything for the sake of their skin. I really want to know if feces can be used to beautify their skin. Will they eat it? Liu Guixian said that they will definitely eat it."

The veteran laughed first.

The foreign woman immediately realized that Xia Chuan was playing tricks on her and turned around in anger.

Xia Chuan and the other two took a sip of beer from the bottle, ate a piece of beef, and then got to the point.

"What's going on with Gu Tianjiao?" Xia Chuan asked.

The old Taoist sighed and said: "What you said was wrong at the beginning. Gu Tianjiao and my mother are both KGB. Because they look exactly the same, they were secretly trained by the KGB since they were young, but they were not allowed to appear at the same time. They were always trained by the same person. name.

But something went wrong on the first mission.

My mother was ordered to kill my father, who was Vusa at that time.The reason is that Wu Sa secretly planned to act alone.But it is not possible for the KGB to kill him. He must be a Yakut, otherwise it will easily cause ethnic conflicts.

If my mother successfully retires, Gu Tianjiao will appear in public in Moscow and completely cut off the relationship.

If my mother failed and died, it would be Yakutia's own, and a dead person would not reveal anything.

But I never expected that my mother not only did not kill my father, but was brainwashed by my father and refused to tell the truth, and even made a lot of trouble. "

Xia Chuan smiled, Vusa is indeed strong. The KGB brainwashed them since they were young, and they can be washed back by him. In the final analysis, it is still the free nature of the Yakut people.

"My mother knew the consequences of the rebellion and that her sister was destined to die, so she and Vusa made a plan, and the two of them hid together, making it look like they were both dead.

After I was born, the KGB didn't find out where they were.Not even Wensa was found.

Gu Tianjiao was finally sent out to perform the mission, and the first thing she did was to go to Yakutia to find my mother.

The result, alas, was a mess and everything was exposed.

Wensa completely fell in love with the KGB, used Anna to deceive my father, and then joined forces with the KGB to hunt down Gu Tianjiao and my mother.

In the end, they hugged me and fled to China, and they never saw my father again.

But they didn't have a better time in China.

One time, Gu Tianjiao came back from looking for food and found that my mother and I were missing, and there was an agreed mark on the ground.

She knew that Wensa was chasing him, so she followed the marked direction to rescue people.

However, I was never found again.

But my mother's body was found.

She buried my mom.Knowing that Yakutia could not return, he obtained a set of identity documents and went to serve as a soldier.

In fact, Gu Tianjiao did not deliberately lurk, but was just avoiding the KGB and Wensa.When she later found out about me, she was afraid of exposing her identity to the KGB. Although she was no longer a spy, she had never betrayed any intelligence or done anything to disgrace the Guo family in the past few years. "

Xia Chuan understood and asked again: "Then what are you doing these days?"

"I can't say." The old man said seriously.

Xia Chuan Wan'er: "You've said it to this extent, but I can't guess the rest? The reason why Gu Tianjiao hides is probably because she has a child. This is the real reason why she will never get married.

Like your mother, she gave birth to a child to a man with a family, and she did so willingly.It is very possible that this man was kind to Gu Tianjiao and even saved her life.Moreover, this man has a prominent status, and Gu Tianjiao never wants to involve him because of this matter.Therefore, she would rather leave in pain. "

The old Taoist remained silent, neither admitting nor denying, and said after a while: "I made a promise."

"Understood." Xia Chuan raised the bottle.
