「歡迎歡迎。」一頭紅髮的衛太太熱切地和他們打招呼,凱帝掛著一如往常的笑容回應,漢賽爾隨意點了下頭。「暝暝,吃飯前洗過手了嗎?」259Please respect copyright.PENANAClma7zJ16E
259Please respect copyright.PENANA8OBdH2Y0Mo
「洗過了啦,一回家就洗了。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAYlmgWqCYk1
259Please respect copyright.PENANAsXGjqwocBs
衛命暝不太耐煩的說,隨後跟母親一起招呼客人入座。259Please respect copyright.PENANAxC4QnCxuY2
259Please respect copyright.PENANAiapVwugSsY
衛家的飯廳整體成紅、橘、黃三種色調,佈置看起來與一般家庭無異,圓桌從左至右的座位分配依序是衛先生、再來是凱帝、然後是漢賽爾、接著是衛命暝、最後是坐在衛先生旁邊的衛太太。259Please respect copyright.PENANA5RpvXKDP1H
259Please respect copyright.PENANArNgbAt8Kgw
「你們能來真是太好了,真的很謝謝你們上次幫了那麼大的忙。」259Please respect copyright.PENANA1K5MFVDNDc
259Please respect copyright.PENANAAO1u44Wdlp
衛先生對著來自糖果屋的兩人說道,雙方客套了幾句,期間漢賽爾仍是偷偷想著那些東西到底能不能吃的問題,魔法世界中怪模怪樣的料理不在少數,但氣味大多都還算正常或美味,可眼前這整桌菜聞起來都很怪異。259Please respect copyright.PENANAbVYBzePHVT
259Please respect copyright.PENANAefQBGbCsd8
「那麼,就開動吧──」交談幾句後衛先生如此宣佈,說是這麼說,手卻沒有伸向餐具,而是朝坐在他對面的獨生子說道:「暝暝,你前面那道菜的成份是什麼?」259Please respect copyright.PENANAVYerMPorxm
259Please respect copyright.PENANARFjXnjGwoe
漢賽爾跟凱帝聽這問句都愣了一下,吃飯前竟然還要考試?而且衛家又不是開餐廳的,把小孩訓練成只聞氣味就能判斷原料的聞香師有什麼用?259Please respect copyright.PENANABMFPkF9AEx
259Please respect copyright.PENANASLxJGKzP3P
「櫻蘿蔔、跳跳羊角鱗粉、貝拉拉紅葉、貝拉拉黑葉,」衛命暝一面講一面扳著手指,離他最近的碗公裝著紅色的粥狀物,「還有萬臭果跟糙米。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAtmFUkYT59u
259Please respect copyright.PENANAOPH6R6p4bs
「沒錯,那再隨便舉一種需要用到貝拉拉葉的魔藥?」259Please respect copyright.PENANA8kJAlUh3tQ
259Please respect copyright.PENANAqA5J1QCNmZ
「腸胃保健藥丸。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAXfQ92aUuxY
259Please respect copyright.PENANAFKJXFKO113
「很好,那你右手邊那碗的基底跟什麼魔藥相同?」259Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0cJAfkK5L
259Please respect copyright.PENANAez4A2UU90Q
「除痘藥水?」259Please respect copyright.PENANAebki7N93Bz
259Please respect copyright.PENANAxkBmtIZfvi
「對,再來,你左手邊那碗包含哪些魔藥材?」259Please respect copyright.PENANA0KY17IKnLe
259Please respect copyright.PENANAxyQ2e8h9TU
「黑蒲、墨草、軟布豆、甜蒜、哭疏瓜……」259Please respect copyright.PENANAbwGKCrxLXZ
259Please respect copyright.PENANAa6qwJEnXLu
衛命暝頓了一下,一時間想不出來剩下的答案,衛先生竟看著手錶計時,三十秒後衛先生道:「警告一次,喝一口再回答。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAWIOcykbLsh
259Please respect copyright.PENANAy0HspyWrWi
淡橙髮男孩心不甘情不願地舀了一匙羹湯到自己碗裡,那玩意兒烏漆抹黑的,旁觀的漢賽爾跟凱帝根本看不出究竟是什麼做的,衛命暝啜了一小口,砸砸嘴,繼續答題:「是莫藍凍。」259Please respect copyright.PENANA2nT1WXPhnf
259Please respect copyright.PENANAHmG1Qjgfsj
「還有一樣。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAcQatBbJZde
259Please respect copyright.PENANA5IMqEvwAnf
「唔……垮耳草?」259Please respect copyright.PENANABYQpIVGOGd
259Please respect copyright.PENANAjSnWwR5MeE
「錯。」259Please respect copyright.PENANABnwFB6lZPj
259Please respect copyright.PENANA7cAsDlH06K
「釷蔔薯?」259Please respect copyright.PENANAauJOUJZlcN
259Please respect copyright.PENANAKuPlBj44CM
「不是,你真的有認真作答嗎?暝暝。」259Please respect copyright.PENANA1l2QGk9jYY
259Please respect copyright.PENANAozoKf9uAJ9
「我想不到啦!」衛命暝自暴自棄地說,衛先生則是嘆了口氣,用一副恨鐵不成鋼的語氣公佈正確答案:259Please respect copyright.PENANA99joKiTB81
259Please respect copyright.PENANAj7zJfLN3Ud
「是深吉尼葉。警告兩次。」橙髮男子望著自家兒子的眼神彷彿收到後者人生第一次期末考的成績單,上頭統統寫著零分,他語重心長的說道:「不是跟你說過了嗎?暝暝,深吉尼葉的味道很淡,要仔細品嚐才行。連這麼簡單的藥材都分不出來,你長大後該怎麼辦呢?你可是要繼承衛家藥店的人吶。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAT8QfalPqkr
259Please respect copyright.PENANAcwvALNSXu9
語畢,衛先生又盛了好幾匙黑羹湯給衛命暝,要他全部吞掉感受一下自己所說的是怎麼回事,然後又繼續下一道菜的問答,直到衛命暝全部回答完畢,眾人才能正式用餐。259Please respect copyright.PENANAfEhBa1InyX
259Please respect copyright.PENANAV4dqJj7ZP0
看小男孩那副悶悶不樂的模樣,凱帝真想給一個安慰的摸摸頭,可惜漢賽爾卡在他們倆中間、而漢賽爾絕對不會讓他那麼做。259Please respect copyright.PENANA7q3m1sdKc4
259Please respect copyright.PENANAqw8HNLCs1q
滿桌的食物全參了魔藥材要不就乾脆是魔藥,吃起來倒也沒有聞著看著那麼可怕,漢賽爾秉持著要撈夠本的原則更是吃了好幾碗,成為把整桌菜掃光的最大功臣。259Please respect copyright.PENANAw3lTGwa261
259Please respect copyright.PENANATccSGWgp82
「欸,」吃完飯,漢賽爾趁著「大人們」收餐盤的空檔偷問衛命暝,「警告一次兩次那是什麼意思?」259Please respect copyright.PENANAcNX7PrbgK6
259Please respect copyright.PENANAxUkFMtD0C3
「就是警告啊,」衛命暝沒好氣地回答,「超過三次的話我今天的晚餐、明天的早餐、午餐都只能吃答錯的那碗料理,還要用答錯的魔藥材練習調藥。超殘忍的吧?」259Please respect copyright.PENANAKgBDQI9sMY
259Please respect copyright.PENANAWTqvHdoGUM
「吃個飯還要問東問西是挺麻煩的,」漢賽爾算是同意,「當魔藥店的獨子也不容易嘛?」259Please respect copyright.PENANARKo3zgu4au
259Please respect copyright.PENANAjqFvZDkXmR
「哼,我以後絕對不會繼承家業。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAVbeRyoGBKx
259Please respect copyright.PENANAYyDOXjHV4O
漢賽爾挑眉,「喔?不然你長大以後要幹嘛?」259Please respect copyright.PENANATTF65Bk1yg
259Please respect copyright.PENANAuhfuCpzKk4
「我覺得我可以當情報販子,很厲害的那種,」衛命暝假裝推了推不存在的眼鏡,挺起胸膛說出腦海中的妄想,「有點像偵探,可是更酷,不用別人委託我,我就會先收集好情報,然後等有需要的那一天賣給需要的人,想要跟我買情報的人會從米唐一街排到十二街。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAPfreVhmH1x
259Please respect copyright.PENANAr9icx0xCE6
「我還以為你會想當發明家咧。」259Please respect copyright.PENANAhoyd5RtHDQ
259Please respect copyright.PENANAhIym2XfiYi
「那個也想啦,我可以一邊當發明家一邊當情報販子嘛,然後因為我是偉大的發明家,所以依靠我自己創造的魔法道具,就可以蒐集到別人沒辦法拿到手的情報!像是軍事機密、祕密景點還有哪個藝人養了多少小三。」259Please respect copyright.PENANASpI8gFKma7
259Please respect copyright.PENANAnaiDVLDjyw
「軍事機密哪有那麼容易取得啊?還有抓藝人緋聞的是狗仔隊吧!」259Please respect copyright.PENANA8DBHCJ56rC

一會兒後,餐具收拾完畢,衛先生表示還要邀請他們去其他地方,眾人便離開住宅區。259Please respect copyright.PENANAsRlDIeNIvB
259Please respect copyright.PENANAyNJjg7UM5D
衛家既然有開連鎖店,那麼,他們家的人自然可以將自家店面當作小型轉運站來使用──正確來說是衛先生和衛太太理所當然有這份權限,年幼的衛命暝尚不被允許這麼做──透過店門,他們可以毫無阻礙地前往任何門上的傳送魔法連結的地點。259Please respect copyright.PENANAXMUALPt6rD

「歡迎光臨衛家酒窖!」259Please respect copyright.PENANAzxL5h8Y49k
259Please respect copyright.PENANAoyWT0pMWNn
衛太太興致高昂地在眾人面前張開雙臂,在她背後有條漂浮於半空中的酒之河,結構就像在美食展看見展示鮮魚的攤商一樣、只是溪水全換成了各式各樣的酒,酒河左右兩側還有成千上百顆的酒水球──顧名思義就是裝在透明圓球裡的酒──依照種類、釀製年份、產地等等分門別類地在酒窖中組成一排排酒牆。259Please respect copyright.PENANAsOwAIhgTkm
259Please respect copyright.PENANAA2BY8ca4ij
濃烈的酒味刺激鼻腔,空氣中的酒精濃度高到彷彿只要在這裡多待幾分鐘便會被燻醉。
