Cui Liangquan was deceived for the sake of beauty, and a large piece of his family was emptied, he was anxious, annoyed and ashamed, and soon suffered from a stroke and fell into the disease of half of his body. His children are not yet adults, and the business of the cloth shop can only be barely managed by his illiterate wife. After the Japanese occupied Beiping, business became even more difficult, and the store could not be opened within a few years, so it was simply closed. The family's life is only maintained by the silver taels accumulated before, and life is not as good as a year. When the Japanese surrendered, the eldest son Cui Fengming had just graduated from high school, and the Cui family really had no money for him to go to school. Introduced by an acquaintance, he worked in the back kitchen of a restaurant called Juxian Lou.

There are eight or nine people in the back kitchen of Juxian Building, and there are red cases, white cases, pastries, cold meat, and spoons; Cui Fengming only took care of choosing vegetables, washing vegetables and some errands. He was a latecomer, young, and the first to come back to the kitchen were all his masters. In addition to calling him back and forth, those people didn't take this child in their eyes at all, and sometimes scolded Cui Fengming. The only woman here is called Chunxiu, and she is in charge of making pastries. Chunxiu is in her early twenties, with a delicate appearance, a weak figure, and a gentle personality, which makes Cui Fengming feel very kind when she treats people and things. She is the only person in the back kitchen who is good to Cui Fengming. Chunxiu's envoy Cui Fengming always said softly when he worked: "Fengming, come and do my sister a favor!" In everyone's spare time, Chunxiu sometimes sits with Cui Fengming and asks long and short chats, she sees that Cui Fengming's clothes are torn, she will take out needles and threads to sew them, and sometimes she is afraid that Cui Fengming will not be able to eat enough and secretly put one or two hard-boiled eggs in his pocket. When the two were chatting, Cui Fengming once asked Chunxiu why he was so good to himself? Chunxiu said that Cui Fengming is very similar to her younger brother who was raised in her hometown in Shandong, and she likes him from the first day she sees him. However, when Chunxiu talks about her brother, there is always a subtle melancholy in her eyes. After getting along for a period of time, Cui Fengming had a feeling of inseparable from Chunxiu, feeling that she cared about him like his own sister or mother, and always wanted to be with her when he was working, and when he couldn't see her, he thought that this was the first time he had a sense of attachment to a woman other than his mother.

In this back kitchen there was a man surnamed Hu, who was about fifty years old, tall and stout, and his dark face was covered with smallpox scars, and he was nicknamed Peanut Skin behind his back. This peanut skin has old seniority in Juxian Building, and the skill of stir-frying is very good, so it has won the respect and trust of the boss. Peanut skin, tobacco, alcohol, sugar, and tea are all sticky, but he never buys it himself, and he has to pay tribute to his subordinates. If anyone is disrespectful to him, he will scold him when he opens his mouth and beat him when he raises his hand; If he goes to the boss to sue anyone, the person who is accused will be deducted from his salary and dismissed, so everyone is afraid of peanut skin and competes for filial piety. Cui Fengming is a new guy, the boss covers two meals a day, and only has a meager salary in a month, and he has to pay some tea money to peanut skin every month, otherwise he will be scolded and bullied.

Although this peanut skin is domineering, he is very kind to Chunxiu, and almost every time he speaks to Chunxiu, he narrows his originally bell-sized eyes into crooked smiles, and emits a soft voice from his throat that is extremely disproportionate to his huge body, and forcibly makes a gentle expression on his face full of meat, which makes people feel very funny. However, Chunxiu always ignores the peanut skin that often presents him with courtesy. Whenever Cui Fengming saw peanut skin circling around Chunxiu, pretending to be courteous, he always felt that he was like a boar in heat, and he felt very disgusted. The rest of the kitchen also used to mumble and point behind Peanutskin and Chunxiu, and when Peanutskin turned to glare at them, they quickly picked up their work and pretended not to see anything. Later, Cui Fengming spent a long time in the back kitchen, and he often vaguely heard from other guys that there was a leg between peanut skin and Chunxiu, Cui Fengming asked what it meant to have a leg? He was told that there was a dirty thing between a man and a woman!

Chunxiu is a gentle and considerate big sister in Cui Fengming's heart, and she is a decent woman she loves. He was very puzzled when he heard these rumors, and one day when Cui Fengming told Chunxiu about the rumors about her, Chunxiu's face turned red and said, "It's all nonsense!" What do you know about this hairy boy? Don't get involved with these things in the future! If you talk nonsense in the future, I'll ignore you! Chunxiu, who has always been mild-tempered, became very stern when she spoke to Cui Fengming. Chunxiu saw that Cui Fengming was too frightened to speak, so she coaxed him in a pleasant voice: "Fengming, do you believe the words of those people?" You don't want to think about it, can my sister fall in love with that old and ugly peanut skin at such a young age! Cui Fengming felt that what Chunxiu said was reasonable, he shook his head vigorously, he really didn't believe that Sister Chunxiu would have a leg between that annoying peanut skin. He looked down on those who said bad things about Chunxiu, thinking that they said bad things about Chunxiu when they saw that Sister Chunxiu was good-looking and couldn't get her, and said that grapes were sour when they couldn't eat them. However, an accidental encounter completely shattered Chunxiu's image of a good sister in his heart.

One afternoon, Cui Fengming didn't have much work to do, and he didn't sleep well all night in order to take care of his sick father, so he wanted to find a place where no one was there to lie down and rest for a while. He remembered that the grocery warehouse in the backyard was a clean and cool place, so he slipped out of the back kitchen to the storeroom. He was afraid that others would see him, so he slowly opened the door and quietly walked in, trying to find a hidden place to lie down. As soon as Cui Fengming slipped into the house, he heard a slight but rapid wheezing sound coming from the room in the warehouse, he curiously tiptoed over and looked at it without making a sound, he never expected that there were two naked people lying on the ground in his arms behind a pile of broken tables and chairs, and he took a closer look at it and it turned out to be Peanut Skin and Chunxiu: Peanut Skin's strong and hairy body pressed against Chunxiu's body, and his mouth gasped and hummed like a pig. Chunxiu turned her face to the side, frowning and closing her eyes, allowing the peanut skin to rub her white and tender body wantonly, and she kept letting out small moans under the rough movements of the peanut skin.

Cui Fengming, who saw the affairs of men and women for the first time, was completely stunned by the scene in front of him, and his whole body was as numb as electricity. The sight was too much for him to accept, and he closed his eyes in shame. Curiosity drove Cui Fengming to find out, but he was afraid of alarming the two people, so he hid behind a pile of broken belongings in the outhouse without making a sound, covering himself with a broken blanket to reveal only a gap looking out. After a while, he heard Peanutskin let out a long breath, and then the sound of the two of them getting dressed.

Peanutskin and Chunxiu came out of the inner room, Peanutskin looked like he was still in the mood, he happily hugged Chunxiu's waist and said, "Chunxiu! You're such a nice bitch, my wife's waist is as thick as a bucket, and her fucking face is wrinkled, she's an ugly bastard, how can you compare to your tender and smooth water! ”

Chunxiu said with his head down: "Tell you, you can't take advantage of me for nothing!" Ming'er, you go to the boss and give me a few kind words, and I should also raise my salary! ”

Peanutskin patted his chest vigorously with his hand and said, "No problem! You've got that covered. I won't do you any wrong! After saying that, he took out a piece of ocean from his pocket and put it in Chunxiu's hand. Peanut Peel pulled Chunxiu to a corner, took away the miscellaneous things piled together, and revealed a large vat in the corner of the wall. Peanut skin opened the lid of the tank and took out a large piece of bacon from it, he handed the bacon to Chunxiu and whispered: "I have bacon and ham in this tank, which I secretly took out from the back kitchen, and the weather is hot, which means that these things can be put away, take them home and eat them!" The place where I hide is a secret, you can take whatever you want to eat, but you can't tell anyone! With that, he covered the vat again with tattered debris. Then the two of them peeked out through the crack in the door, and after confirming that there was no one outside the door, they slipped out of the warehouse one after the other. All this was heard and seen by Cui Fengming.

Seventeen-year-old Cui Fengming was at the beginning of his love, and he was surprised when he saw the scene of male and female copulation for the first time. He couldn't understand that the woman who had a good impression in his heart was shameless and naked for the man to press under him and be at the mercy of him. Is this the kind of thing that should be done between men and women? Are women born to be at the mercy of men? It shocked him! From that day on, Cui Fengming hated peanut skin and looked down on Chunxiu, he felt that Chunxiu had deceived him, and Cui Fengming, who inadvertently peeked into the affairs of men and women, also seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and it was a few days before the Spring Festival, and the owner of the restaurant paid the guys in advance, which was considered a reward for the guys' hard work for a year, and this month's salary has increased for everyone. Cui Fengming also received an extra piece of ocean from Mr. Bookkeeper, and he was going to use this ocean to buy some New Year's goods for his family. He took advantage of his free time in the afternoon to sneak out of the restaurant and went to the nearby Yueshengzhai to buy two catties of his father's favorite sauced beef. Who knew that when he was about to walk into the back kitchen with the sauced beef, he happened to bump into Peanut Skin, who crossed his hands on his chest and blocked Cui Fengming from the door like an iron tower. He said to Cui Fengming angrily, "Who told you to sneak out while working?" ”

Cui Fengming knew how powerful he was, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Master Hu, isn't it almost the Spring Festival, I'll take the time to buy something for the family!" I'll go out for a while, and I'll do more work for you later." ”

"Xiao Cui, did my master let you call him in vain? It's almost the Spring Festival, you know that you honor your parents, but you don't know how to honor your master? Give this to me!" After the peanut skin finished speaking, he snatched the things from Cui Fengming's hand.

"This is the sauce beef I bought for my dad! You give it back to me! Cui Fengming hurriedly rushed back.

The peanut skin pushed Cui Fengming away and scared him and said, "I also love sauce beef!" Tell you, master and apprentice are like father and son, and honoring me is the same as honoring your father! ”

He saw that Cui Fengming was going to snatch things back, so he grabbed Cui Fengming's neck and said, "If you mess around again, I will go to the boss to accuse you of being lazy, you said that it is better to let the boss deduct your salary?" Or would you give me the sauce beef? Peanutskin asked with a wicked smile.

Cui Fengming heard Peanut Skin say this, so he had to admit that he was unlucky, but he was really uncomfortable in his heart, and he had already held back his strength to play a good trick on this bastard. Cui Fengming pondered while washing vegetables, he thought for a long time and finally came up with a ghost idea to take revenge on peanut skin.

In the evening, after the hotel closed, Cui Fengming quickly took off his greasy apron and sleeves as usual, washed his face and walked out of the back door of Juxian Building. Instead of walking home, he wandered aimlessly through the streets. At the end of the lunar month, there was no moon in the sky, the night was thick, and the cold air hit people. The arrow tower at the front door looked very ghostly under the shroud of cold air. Cui Fengming, who was wandering around under the arrow tower, thought about the story of the rebel swallow Li San, and he heard that the high front door building was where Li San used to hide. He counted the rows of black holes in the windows of the arrow tower, wondering if there were still Jiang Yang thieves like Li San hiding inside. Cui Fengming sat on a stone pier under the gatehouse, killing time in a cranky manner, when two night patrol policemen came over to interrogate him and urged him to hurry home. Cui Fengming estimated that it was already dark and it was time for the night shift to fall asleep, so he stood up and walked to Juxian Building to start his revenge plan.

Cui Fengming quietly climbed into the back wall of Juxian Building, he tiptoed to the window of the back kitchen, gently pried open the window, and jumped into the kitchen with both hands on the windowsill. He lit a small candle he carried with him, went to the stove with the peanut skin spoon, picked up the bottle of rice wine, poured the wine into the drain, poured it into the drain, poured a soak of urine into it, closed the lid and put it back in its place; Then he grabbed a large handful of alkaline noodles and mixed them in starch, salt, and sugar, and mixed a lot of vinegar and salt in the soy sauce. Cui Fengming is very satisfied with his masterpiece, and his next goal is to smash the small warehouse of peanut skin.

Cui Fengming jumped out of the kitchen, looked around vigilantly, and then quietly touched the warehouse where the miscellaneous items were kept. The warehouse door was locked, Cui Fengming took out the prepared cone and picked the lock, dodged in, and covered the door casually. He walked to a corner full of miscellaneous items, and after removing the things that were stacked randomly, a large clay jar was exposed, Cui Fengming opened the cylinder cover and saw that there were a few chickens, ducks, several pieces of bacon and two fish in the tank, he took out a big pocket from his body and put all the things in the cylinder into it, picked up the pocket and walked out, he just walked a few steps and stopped, looked down and thought about it, and then a bad smile fell on his face, Cui Fengming returned to the clay cylinder and squatted on the edge of the cylinder, covered his nose and pulled a bubble of inside, after finishing the cylinder cover to restore the original appearance, he slipped out of the warehouse and turned out of the wall.
