孫望連一身日本和服,穿著木屐,以標奇立異的姿態在繁忙的街道行走。405Please respect copyright.PENANAVIjwUEyhu1
405Please respect copyright.PENANAZF35xnj8NU
踏上一條長命鈄百級階級後,他來到了一間門可羅雀、無人問津的傳統士多鋪頭。405Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ3tAvELmi
405Please respect copyright.PENANA40uzZFLora
“今時今日,還在鋪面售賣七八十代的玩具嗎?”405Please respect copyright.PENANAc3FYcTe7yi
上一次孫望連到訪店舖的時候已經可以推算至二十多年前,但外部配置至今近乎沒有作出任何轉變,鋪面對出位置依舊售賣著彩色發泡膠玩具飛機。405Please respect copyright.PENANAOFHSEStEZs
405Please respect copyright.PENANA681DkmwPDO
「老闆,三罐冰鎮黑色可樂!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAvN1HqBj3wR
孫望連在店舖前大嚷一聲。405Please respect copyright.PENANAAfY1JUMv6g
405Please respect copyright.PENANApXPQkLiDFf
「雪櫃壞了,沒有冰凍黑色可樂,就只有室溫選擇而已。」405Please respect copyright.PENANAJuynJL80ny
一道虛弱及老邁的男人聲音從店舖內部發出。405Please respect copyright.PENANAm0oc8tRQbI
405Please respect copyright.PENANAAiw99wJN1f
「嗯,我不管,我就是要三罐冰凍黑色可樂!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAMTKs64LVJK
孫望連只是往店舖裡頭踏進一小步,一股沉重的冤氣隨即從內部陰暗的環境散發出來,剎那間迫使孫望連身體各組肌肉僵硬了起來。405Please respect copyright.PENANAa7HshHtCYr
405Please respect copyright.PENANAl5mh3Umaqs
「我不是已經說了,雪櫃......405Please respect copyright.PENANAOaob9XGaPy
哦,原來是你?可真的是稀客呢!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAf1vfDZo9xl
士多老闆彎下腰,用著柺仗支撐著自己的身體走到店外。405Please respect copyright.PENANAWJT5cEsJ9J
405Please respect copyright.PENANA2j5Wtf67WS
「沒錯,我想要三罐冰凍黑色可樂。」405Please respect copyright.PENANA0dhpeKLXHs
孫望連打算拿出銀包之際,那名老闆頓時揮手示意不用,轉身引領孫望連走進店舖內頭。405Please respect copyright.PENANA26bkLy0h01
405Please respect copyright.PENANAV2X9yTiL1k
「我認得你是誰,不用交出證明文件了!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAu91KcRpo2R
老闆打開了一道暗門,展露通往地下街道的樓梯。405Please respect copyright.PENANAEwKIVSO9EM
405Please respect copyright.PENANAK9iN4m8eah
405Please respect copyright.PENANAr3e3Sh9as3
「歡迎再次光臨,世食會香港區地下大街!」
世食會是遍佈世界各地的龐大組織,除進行正式搜羅美食的任務之外,成員們大多聚集在各個國家的地下街區域進行交流及搜購珍貴食材。405Please respect copyright.PENANAY83LXfv79Q
405Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ5IKEmeuJ
香港十八區每一區均有著一個連接地下街的據點,每一個據點也有守門人看守及查察闖入者是否屬實世食會的成員,杜絕任何非相關人士闖入的可能性。405Please respect copyright.PENANAYr1z1kBzxR
405Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ajhea6hia
那間士多鋪頭的雪櫃運作實情是一切正常,該名老闆之所以訛稱店舖沒有冰鎮黑色可樂,原因是「三罐冰鎮黑色可樂」乃是進入地下間的一道關鍵密語,他為免有陌生人碰巧說出密語繼而釀成誤會,所以才特意說出沒有冰鎮這個選項。405Please respect copyright.PENANA942pN5J7NC
405Please respect copyright.PENANAw3hjCSe8HF
若然對方真的是「有心之人」,那自然便會強硬再度道出「三罐冰鎮可樂」這個要求,正如孫望連剛才所做的一樣,到這時候守門人才會露真身親自作出接待,否則的話便會交由替工進行如常應對。405Please respect copyright.PENANAHGmThUsb8v
405Please respect copyright.PENANAmlYXvfnbKm
按照正常程序,守門人會要求對方出示世食會的個人證明,加以核對後才會放行,但基於他對孫望連此人有著深刻的印象,故此便省卻了繁複的行政手續,為他打開了連接世食會地下街道的樓梯。405Please respect copyright.PENANA1jU7VNyYUN
405Please respect copyright.PENANAlRZJSVbD1J
「嗯,沒來二十年有多,不知道那間商鋪是否還健在呢?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAZUWftuCXOQ
地下街的規模與時並進,而且人流亦相當之國際化,有著各地而來的人士到訪,周遭亦充斥著孫望連不太聽得懂的語言。405Please respect copyright.PENANAOzn0p92Xwl
405Please respect copyright.PENANADpjiKoD4Y0
他亂打亂撞走到地圖告示牌前,驚見他想到訪的地方依舊還在原地,心裡亦順之然地安定了下來。405Please respect copyright.PENANAZNBOOzwTx7

距離親子丼比賽時間只剩下不足三個月的時間,孫望連將會抵達日本作最後備戰的準備,而他的老婆陳芸及女兒孫旗在較後時間亦會飛往日本,一同暫居在日本一段時間。405Please respect copyright.PENANAkjWr2oW7Yf
405Please respect copyright.PENANAT36itFyg4a
當天比賽大會將供應廚具及各種烹飪設備,唯獨是比賽的所需食材,大會一律不會提供,故此選手們當日需要自備材料進入會場作賽。405Please respect copyright.PENANAESgduuOY1w
405Please respect copyright.PENANAHAxTr3YrEl
這一次他親身到訪香港世食會地下街,就是希望預訂親子丼最為傳統的雞肉食材–鬥雞。405Please respect copyright.PENANAVirvxiWchC
405Please respect copyright.PENANAyaAo1yJrsR
鬥雞泛指兩隻公雞互相一起打鬥,當中涉及大量殘忍的互啄及距劈的畫面,直至某一方乏力倒下後比賽才會宣告結束。405Please respect copyright.PENANAWl6TKEJMyB
405Please respect copyright.PENANAX2XqmG25SD
如此不人道的舉動,現今的道德規範自當然容不下來,唯有世食會的地下街區域還保留著這個傳統。405Please respect copyright.PENANAFHZ7axvGZU
原因無他,鬥雞的雞肉比市面雞肉更為厚實、耐嚼及多汁,非常適合用在講求肉感的雞肉料理之內,對美食有著高層次要求的世食會自當有責任堅守著鬥雞這個「良好」傳統。405Please respect copyright.PENANAhfFkbNyjDD
405Please respect copyright.PENANAUEZRooeSLa
要培養一隻公雞變身成為鬥雞,基本上有四大要點。405Please respect copyright.PENANAs3pV4Ll09p
養飼員會把公雞放在由稻草堆成的「山丘」之上,強迫牠們不斷走動,從而培養出強橫的腳骨力。405Please respect copyright.PENANAIx1NUp6LXv
而早午晚餐的食糧則會特意放在較高的地方,誘使牠們日夜伸長頸部,增大攻擊對方的範圍。405Please respect copyright.PENANAquzQrlX1mX
405Please respect copyright.PENANAhR4224T50D
至於雞冠方面,大多數會被強行剪短,減低對方能夠攻擊的身體範圍。同時間為了培養牠們好勇鬥狠的精神,養飼範圍均會不斷重覆播放雞鳴叫聲,誘發他們身體產生更多的雄激素,加強肌肉發達發展。405Please respect copyright.PENANAH9Khfsxjne
405Please respect copyright.PENANA8BhLkana6H
有時候,有一些喪心病狂的飼養員更會在雞爪下暗藏金屬利刀,從而增加自己的鬥雞勝率,藉此賣出一個更好的價錢圖利。405Please respect copyright.PENANALuwYoizScD
當然,這點對雞肉的口感和味道並不會帶來任何的改進。405Please respect copyright.PENANA5irkc2MWYf
405Please respect copyright.PENANAi2lNsUoqY7
“眼神銳利、腳瓜起墊、威武之餘亦不失穩重,他日應該會變成一隻上等鬥雞。”405Please respect copyright.PENANAXpqZi8MvhA
眾裡尋牠千百道,孫望連在雞海之中找到了一隻理想的存在。405Please respect copyright.PENANAapjt2myVY3
405Please respect copyright.PENANATUWod61Dn5
「老闆,那隻綠色腳帶A340的鬥雞,可否在三月一日空運到日本裡頭呢?」405Please respect copyright.PENANArh3gum7So6
孫望連對森友雞鋪的老闆作出詢問。405Please respect copyright.PENANA3R2HZ4KoQU
405Please respect copyright.PENANAOT0wzFaFxs
「空運日本自當然沒有問題,不過我要檢查一下牠是否被其他人預訂了。」405Please respect copyright.PENANA8RWGdM5wJb
雞鋪老闆把自己的他媽哥池放在桌上,開始利用電腦系統查找預訂記錄。405Please respect copyright.PENANAH73KazmqwW
「噢,不好意思,這隻鬥雞......」405Please respect copyright.PENANAK1LwrCVX0m
405Please respect copyright.PENANANxmiPjGyiX
405Please respect copyright.PENANAYrjXC7JBNS
「剛剛在十分鐘之前已被我預訂了!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAHjMZs0mon2
默記總裁克深臨雙手插著口袋,一臉悠然自得的吹著口哨出場。405Please respect copyright.PENANA3rtg16t62E
405Please respect copyright.PENANAFrdEXBYqE7
「克深臨?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAR3eThZ1D0V
孫望連顯然對克深臨的出現感到萬分驚訝。405Please respect copyright.PENANArEGQO1Xrx4
405Please respect copyright.PENANAQzYfNd2J7p
「望連哥,很久沒見了!真是想不到,我們同出一轍看中了那隻鬥雞呢!」405Please respect copyright.PENANA40dgviD9FA
克深臨深感榮幸的模樣,微笑道。405Please respect copyright.PENANAKNy547A70e
405Please respect copyright.PENANAf5isxBWWbi
「嗯,我有一些事情急需運用那隻鬥雞,這次你可否......?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAq1qriHhbhf
孫望連意欲游說對方把軍雞轉養給予自己。405Please respect copyright.PENANA1u8NySREGn
405Please respect copyright.PENANALK8GQCz6JM
「你所指的事情,是不是三月所舉辦的全日本親子丼大賽?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAYCCyEGZ2Hz
克深臨心知肚明地作出詢問。405Please respect copyright.PENANAO0KF7jHiDt
405Please respect copyright.PENANArjXvKMKarQ
「你......你找人調查我?為何你要這樣做?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAqjn22hdP6z
孫望連隱約感到一股來者不善的氣息,彷彿就是克深臨故意預先扣留了那隻鬥雞,正在盤算著不懷好意的計劃。405Please respect copyright.PENANAfxjFcIS5Hz
405Please respect copyright.PENANALNqyhaYWYj
「望連大哥你果然風趣,五十步笑百步。405Please respect copyright.PENANAuKambJqDjc
若不是你派遣你的未來女婿畢時調查新城市默記分店在先,我可是絕對不會貿然派人調查望連哥的!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAQIPJVoizth
克深臨把事實作出陳述,反指是孫望連出手在先,他才迫不得已作出反擊。405Please respect copyright.PENANAJddTmYv6A0
405Please respect copyright.PENANAi9vANXoge6
「當天你跟畢時裡應外合,動用新城市分店的金錢大量購入板長壽司店的米飯,這一點我還沒有跟望連哥你計較呢!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAqsuSEIuIyC
405Please respect copyright.PENANAlG0tBghtvD
405Please respect copyright.PENANAXwTvMUF9l6
「你......應該是有所誤會了,我並無意打擾默記運作,我純粹只是想調查一下為何新城市廣場分店的默樂雞銷量自從上一年起突然飄升的原因,因而才派畢時調查一下。」405Please respect copyright.PENANAB8posRSv3P
孫望連不想讓誤會繼續加深下去,只好實話實說道出真相。405Please respect copyright.PENANAPRGL29Gvpa
405Please respect copyright.PENANA0voam1zfv4
405Please respect copyright.PENANADtHpTWCy8b
「哦,是嗎?那你現在找到答案了嗎?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAQCQhDluv1t
克深臨強顏苦笑,明顯對孫望連的這個解釋並不信任。405Please respect copyright.PENANAqTPSwztLx7
405Please respect copyright.PENANAjvsKKfRDs2
405Please respect copyright.PENANAvrDFEV76Zp
「答案上個星期已經找到,而以我所知,畢時自從默趣日起已經再無踏進新城市分店默記半步,不是嗎?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAf9EU9f9bq1
孫望連並不想就這次事件與克深臨作出交惡。405Please respect copyright.PENANAh6voNjGseb
405Please respect copyright.PENANAg8Vmko0NdZ
「沒錯,當日他在希爾頓分店,用上你所贈下的善良之刀救了間時妹妹間芬一命,間時為報答其救命之恩,所以把默樂雞的秘密全數告訴了他,而畢時自那天起亦的確辭退了默記的職務。」405Please respect copyright.PENANAjfsCzqND33
克深臨點頭數下。405Please respect copyright.PENANA41js4AhAp6
405Please respect copyright.PENANA8csCV7x7zf
405Please respect copyright.PENANAUDtN4lSGrm
「慢著!你這句話的意思......405Please respect copyright.PENANApikhKyWhIo
即是你一早便知道了新城市分店一直在用著誘惑之刀催谷生意額?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAOW4opuXHQj
孫望連一臉難以置信的模樣,他沒料到克深臨竟然會默許這種事情持續發生一段這麼長的時間。405Please respect copyright.PENANAkfIw1YKpTf

「這裡耳目眾多,我知道附近有一間較為隱僻的酒吧,你嘗面的話,我們可以到那裡繼續討論這些敏感話題。」405Please respect copyright.PENANAdca34PlmdT
克深臨沒有正面回答問題,反邀孫望連到酒吧繼續深入討論話題。405Please respect copyright.PENANA5PQS3CVbPX
405Please respect copyright.PENANAPFl08zgv5h
「那裡的炸魚薯條非常可口,配上琴通寧簡直就是一絕,望連哥你絕對不能錯過呢!」405Please respect copyright.PENANASJAWfDYv0f
