1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 85: No one wants me, I'm a self-employed person

Before preparing for the cultural performance in the summer...

On September 9, in Cuihua Hutong in Dongcheng District, there was a house facing the street. When the door was opened, the words "Yuebin Hotel" were posted on it.

Liu Guixian used to work as a nanny in YEshuai's home, and sometimes she would cook a few side dishes on the side.

She was originally a handyman in a kindergarten. With five children at home, life was really difficult, so she came up with the idea of ​​opening a small restaurant.

Now, due to the huge employment pressure caused by the large number of young people returning to the city, the higher authorities have begun to make adjustments and encourage "self-employed" people.

In the summer, there were some young people in their alley who had nowhere to go. They were connected by the neighborhood committee and set up a "water shop" at the station and other places.

This cannot be considered a normal job, it can only be said that it is a way to make a living.

More young people are forced into a corner and are looking for solutions everywhere.

As the saying goes: If I am not welcome here, I will find other places that will welcome me. If I am not welcome anywhere, I will become a self-employed person!
It is not easy to open a small restaurant these days.

Not to mention the psychological pressure, even the ingredients are difficult to prepare.

Everything requires a ticket. You say you run a restaurant but don’t even have meat, what are you going to do?

But when you are poor you have to change, there is really no other way.

There were not many people in this small restaurant on the first day, and there were not many people on the second day. On the third day, summer came!

Xia Tian also heard about this from a friend for fun, so he excitedly took Da Chun and his friends there, and of course, a camera was indispensable.

How can we not capture such a memorable moment?
In the summer, together with Milan, there will be five of them in total, which is a "big deal"!

The boss Liu Guixian was even a little timid and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Auntie, what do you have here?"

"Uh..." Liu Guixian just remembered that it was indeed nothing that happened to her.

"There are ducks, tofu, and vegetables..." Liu Guixian couldn't continue.

The duck was bought from the pigeon market, the tofu was purchased with coupons, and there was plenty of vegetables.

"Then please cook a few dishes for me." Xia Tian said.

"That's okay..."

Milan looked at Xia Tian, ​​not understanding why he suddenly came to this tiny restaurant to eat?
Xia Tian asked them: "Don't you realize it?"

"Realized what?" asked Glasses.

Dachun slapped his head and suddenly realized: "Is it because the food here is so delicious?!"

Xia Tian: "...This is my first time here too. But, no matter whether the food is delicious or not, this is the first private restaurant in Yanjing..."

You know what, this auntie’s cooking skills are quite good and the dishes are very good.

It’s just that Xia Tian and Da Chun’s appetite was a bit unreasonable, so they ran out of food at the end…

The problem is not big.

Before eating, Xia Tian asked the aunt to help take a photo of the five people, the food on the table, and the background behind them.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, it was delicious.

Dachun only cares about the food being delicious, cooking is not something that Yanjing is concerned about. Xiaodong always has something to say in his heart.

Although Milan guessed that Xia Tian's move must have a deeper meaning, he was so mysterious every day and every move seemed to have a deeper meaning, so he didn't care.

However, on the second day after they went to Yuebin Hotel, foreigners came to the restaurant for an interview. They were American reporters who reported on the first private hotel in Yanjing.

That's a national report!

Now, the whole world knows about this restaurant in the alley.

Now the pressure comes to our body.

The Yanjing Evening News decided to conduct a surprise interview and report on this historic moment, and the newspaper, which had already been sent to the printing factory, reserved space specifically for it.

Then the reporter from the evening paper came again the next day to interview and wrote a more detailed report.

Afterwards, envoys from many countries came to taste the food of this first private restaurant.

At this time, the neighbors in the alley were very pessimistic and thought that Liu Guixian was "doing political activities and running a private business." She was also accused of "collaborating with foreign countries" by receiving foreigners.

After all, this is the first individual restaurant, which is of great significance and everyone is watching.

So the district leaders came to Liu Guixian specifically to remind her: You must drive the car well and never bring discredit to XX.

The authorities did make an effort. In order to help Liu Guixian, they mobilized the labor, food, and catering service companies in Dongcheng District and specially arranged various tickets for Yuebin Restaurant.

It is not easy to establish a positive image.

In the following few months, journalists from various countries came to interview and envoys from various countries came to taste the food - more than seventy people were received in total.

It is said that within a few months, Liu Guixian's family became a millionaire.

Even on New Year's Eve of the second year of opening, the two XXs came in person to wish Liu Guixian a happy new year.

40 years later, the restaurant is still there and has been passed down to their granddaughter.

It is still in the same alley, and the store is still that big, but it is a witness of an era after all, and its significance is indeed great.

Of course, that's a story later.

……

It was October, the golden month of autumn, but Song Huaigui's work was not going well. In half a month, he only found three actors who were interested in modeling.

Although some other young people were quite tempted by the idea, they still refused.

Of these three actors, two eventually gave up. One of them was a name Xia Tian was more familiar with: Zhang Tielin.

If I had chosen to be a fashion model, I wouldn't have had the greasy emperor father later~
Prejudices in people’s minds are mountains. Moving mountains is definitely not an easy task.

What's more, Ms. Song not only has to worry about this issue, but also has to communicate with many departments in the government, and she has to run around in different units for several hours a day.

She was a little exhausted.

Why did you accept this unfortunate job? !

Unexpectedly, when she came out of the Textile Industry Bureau, she saw Xia Tian and a girl walking in.

She had also seen that girl before. They were at the same fashion show last year - in Milan.

Xia Tian and Milan are going to inquire about the system. Although they can get help from Shougang's clothing factory, it is better for them to ask on their own.

Unexpectedly, I met Song Huaijia.

"Ms. Song, nice to see you again." Xia Tian greeted with a smile.

Song Huaijia cheered up: "Yes, we meet again."

How dare you show up in front of me? You're bragging like that without even trying to hide!

Xia Tian pointed at the entrance to the government office and asked, "Are you here to process the documents related to the cloth?"

"Huh? What's going on?" Ms. Song asked.

You are the host?!

Xia Tian said: "Me too."

Ms. Song: Hmm?
"Ms. Song, do you think that I am going to break my promise and treat it as a joke for young people to speak so shamelessly?"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "I considered it at first, but in the end I decided to give it a try."

Song Huaijia's eyes widened: Are you serious? !

Xia Tian saw Song Huaijia's expression and felt that he seemed a little tired. He said, "It seems that you are not doing well either. Good things take time. Let's work hard together and see who is better! Come on~"

After saying that, Xia Tian took Milan into the yamen.

"Ah?" Song Huaijia looked at Xia Tian's receding back and remembered how he was fooled and intimidated by this kid last year.

The more I thought about it afterwards, the angrier I got. How could I have been cheated by that guy?
When I returned to China this year, I specially asked someone to inform him so that I could vent my anger about being cheated!

I didn't expect that he would come?!

Once again, I was stunned by him!
I seem to have seen this scene of the back!
"Young people nowadays... have taught me a lesson! Okay! I can't slack off either, let's wait and see!"

Song Huaijia raised his head and strode away with great momentum.

……

I bought a new magazine in the bookstore in October.

"Mass Television" was founded in Lin'an by the Television Artists Association and the Zhejiang Provincial Radio and Television Bureau.

This is also a highlight of this era.

Another thing is that the cultural and artistic performance is coming.

Xia Tian has been "laying out" at Shougang for about a month, and it is not only for the clothing exhibition, but also has other purposes.

For example, this year’s Shougang National Day Art Performance.

The 1st was not held due to production tasks. Now the factory is under contracting, and everything is based on production efficiency.

But we certainly can’t just miss it, what will happen then?
So the factory decided to "make up" the event on Sunday, the 5th, to give everyone some fun.

Xia Tian, ​​through the influence of his father, made some suggestions and signed up for a program.

The performers in this show are Xia Tian, ​​Da Chun and Milan.

In order to help Milan find a new job...

Dachun was quite dissatisfied with this. First, he didn't like playing drums, and second, he wanted to watch TV.

On October 10st, a TV series was broadcast on TV. Of course, it was imported from abroad.

This is a TV series broadcast in the United States in 67, called "Garrison's Gorillas"~
The film tells the story of Lieutenant Garrison of the U.S. Army Intelligence Department in the late World War II who took over an unprecedented death squad composed of murderers, swindlers, thieves and thieves. They went deep behind enemy lines, constantly established meritorious services and became heroes.

As the second American TV series introduced to China, it was broadcast every Saturday at 8 pm.

Gunfights, fighting, character creation, comedy...

This plot is so exciting! After all, there is no such thing as a TV series in China!

Dachun was fascinated by the show!

As soon as this TV series is broadcast, even if you hit Dachun with a knife, he won't react - as long as you don't block the TV.

Dachun refused to agree because he was worried that the rehearsal would affect his watching TV.

So Xia Tian said, "That's fine. But you know, the TV signal is not stable. If there is no signal one day and you can't watch TV series, that's normal."

When Dachun heard this, his face changed and he immediately smiled flatteringly: "I'll do it! Isn't it just playing the drums? I can play too! Please keep the signal, for the sake of Country D."

Actually, this is Chapter 81. The one about the art performance is Chapter 82. I lost my mind today and got them mixed up! Ah~~~ I feel so bad!
