人多好辦事,人多手腳亂,往往總是一念之差所致。465Please respect copyright.PENANA9KZofromKd
465Please respect copyright.PENANAnrMSqGYjQH
雖則這場「炸魚薯條」比賽並無設有任何參賽人數限制,但烹飪終歸不是比拼勞力的比賽,胡亂召集成員組隊的話只會造就人多手腳亂的場面,得不償失。465Please respect copyright.PENANAh5uqAspqg1
故此,是次比賽隊伍的組成必須是重質不重量,每一位成員也應該要是精英之中的精英,獨當一面的存在。465Please respect copyright.PENANAUgYfOYQKXx
465Please respect copyright.PENANAoG1U72IaW3
這次比賽關乎到自己日後在默記的掌管權,克深臨責無旁貸自當親身上陣。465Please respect copyright.PENANAPN90Z2Behc
而選構隊伍成員方面,他的方針是側重選取他最為看好的新城市分店員工,間時為自己的心腹,自當是必然的選擇。而在間時的極力推薦下,之旦亦被納入在隊伍之中,不過她在團體裡的角色並不是主打在廚藝之上,而是在於資訊科技戰上,收集實時數據加以分析,為團隊制訂對策應對多變的局勢。465Please respect copyright.PENANAX3a6mZ9Ep3
465Please respect copyright.PENANAD12AAhLEnv
本來冥叔亦是心水之選之一,但因其去向未明的關係,克深臨只好屈就選取在新城市分店裡頭主管薯條部門的友朋以作替代,希望透過他平日在分店內磨練出的煮製薯條技巧為菜式的薯條部份出一分力。465Please respect copyright.PENANAOgROP1qLf6
465Please respect copyright.PENANAycjhUfKevE
而之於為何會選取畢時我本人,那就純粹是他一系列的偏執及「誤會」所致,不值一提。465Please respect copyright.PENANAFL8lXuYjmO
465Please respect copyright.PENANAsMLIkhez8P
除新城市分店外,克深臨亦有把金鐘分店的凱歐及陽江撥入隊伍之內,這二人是實力和默契高企的組合,能靈活運用武學在廚藝之上,早前比賽的「國際都市」作品、集各家之大成的漢堡包亦是相當出色之作。465Please respect copyright.PENANA1VqrYVJsxc
唯一的隱憂就只有是二人長期視新城市分店成員為競爭對手,有可能會與他們發生摩擦和不合的地方,但克深臨認為二人會曉得顧及局勢放下不必要的成見,因此對這一方面亦沒有過份的憂慮。465Please respect copyright.PENANA4jDBgRX7c9
465Please respect copyright.PENANAm5LvcIMAYJ
最後,經過審視的考慮之下,希爾頓分店的麥默宋亦被邀請納入在隊伍之內,主要原因是克深臨品嚐過東方芝豬作品後,認可了默宋在魚柳處理方面的獨特見解及卓越成就,深信她在炸魚薯條的魚柳部份上定必會幫上不少的忙。465Please respect copyright.PENANAQsL22NvsoS
465Please respect copyright.PENANAqmfmgyhzr1
原定的隊伍組成本來就只有上述八人,克太的加入並不在早期的計劃之內。465Please respect copyright.PENANAElCH8393NF
這並不是對克太的實力給予否定的意思,只是歸根究底整件事也是因她而起,若然她沒有擅自暗中簽下柑紅門合約的話,根本就不會有「炸魚薯條」這場比賽的發生。465Please respect copyright.PENANAjose8f4T7s
465Please respect copyright.PENANAr3iDBnXrTR
對此,克深臨的內心是藏有相當程度的不滿及不悅。465Please respect copyright.PENANAsQQQwbxKAI
465Please respect copyright.PENANAheGNrS4Opx
不過正如俗語所說,兩公婆床頭打架床尾和,二人之間的糾紛很快亦隨之熄滅。465Please respect copyright.PENANAcxmcp7VIfM
465Please respect copyright.PENANAEzVxanzHSN
「臨,為何你要冒這樣大的風險參加比賽?」465Please respect copyright.PENANAq6FrPKIWa3
對於克深臨堅決參加比賽的決定,克太大感不解。465Please respect copyright.PENANAqHdw6jDQmq
465Please respect copyright.PENANAgUqwvb2bmX
比賽取得勝利的話,情況便會一切如常。但倘若失利落敗的話,那就等同於免費把香港區的默記經營權拱手予人無異。465Please respect copyright.PENANAKqpiu9EW84
465Please respect copyright.PENANASwl5h0nGfv
輸掉比賽的損失實在是太過巨大,反之勝出比賽卻沒有相應的報酬。換作是克太本人作話事人決定的話,她定必會果斷選擇放棄參加比賽,不會冒險。465Please respect copyright.PENANASijapYzFYY
465Please respect copyright.PENANAgn64Qpmw5a
「他們在收購合約上的匯款,你用了多少?」465Please respect copyright.PENANAkCAz4x90d7
克深臨沒有回答她的問題,而是拋出一道反問。465Please respect copyright.PENANAwqqAdoHTEb
465Please respect copyright.PENANA4i7wZm0PCc
「我一分錢也沒有用過,那全都是屬於你的金錢,由你來決定如何使用。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAMIHvosozwi
克太微微搖頭。465Please respect copyright.PENANADJ6UWapUDE
465Please respect copyright.PENANAi9A72DJFtp
「嗯,那便好了。比賽過後便把全數完整匯返給他們吧!」465Please respect copyright.PENANAkTEEiPOMfe
克深臨瞄向了郭獅及塗世傑二人那方。465Please respect copyright.PENANABRkzo1IaeZ
465Please respect copyright.PENANAon7zQkZUSH
「那可是整整五十億港元哦!臨,你真的是一點也不心動嗎?465Please respect copyright.PENANAGBn07NFvJ1
你大可把五十億港元用在投資另一盤生意,同樣亦能達成你所追求的願望呢!」465Please respect copyright.PENANADe1iHiiH7G
克太在此實在是沒法讀懂老公克深臨的邏輯。465Please respect copyright.PENANAa6aRshZqpN
465Please respect copyright.PENANAzCLrlWzjMQ
「不,你錯了,喪失香港區默記掌控權的話,我就等同失去達成願望的機會。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAWEDyjMTNEt
克深臨剎那間展露出一副落漠的嘴臉,上顎的牙齒緊咬著下唇。465Please respect copyright.PENANA0MGNSkj8sH
465Please respect copyright.PENANAuhI6mrlFEB
「怎麼會呢?你大可用上那五十億港元建設另一道飲食事業,同樣可以......」465Please respect copyright.PENANANVkH3ZMDa1
克太說到中途之孫,克深臨把食指放到他的嘴前,示意她不要再說下去。465Please respect copyright.PENANAoBO80AwX50
465Please respect copyright.PENANA5vKJxFbp6L
「的而且確,那五十億港元可以用作建設主力售賣魚柳包的事業之上,招來那人的目光及注意,但我所指的願望並不是這一個。」465Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZV6dCA4lx
說罷,克深臨雙手插在褲袋之內,抬頭望向大會舞台上的默記招牌。465Please respect copyright.PENANALXvRgfW4SO
「還記得我第一次到你家中跟你雙親吃晚餐的情形嗎?」465Please respect copyright.PENANA7ARHAwVxdf
465Please respect copyright.PENANABdwFieX4di
「記得,當日你打算盛湯給我阿爸的時候,卻不慎手滑把整碗熱湯淋在他身上,把他弄得非常氣憤呢!」465Please respect copyright.PENANAJqSBTuC27V
克太掩嘴吱笑了一聲,不禁回想起父親當日的不悅模樣以及克深臨的「淆底」神情。465Please respect copyright.PENANANGdy4WoRFX
465Please respect copyright.PENANATYpjrkhpH3
「嘿,的確是,當時我真的是手足無措,不知道應否替他抹乾衣服還是拿取紙巾毛巾才好。」465Please respect copyright.PENANA0odQtgath3
回想起當日不堪回首的醜態,克深臨同樣偷笑了起來。465Please respect copyright.PENANA7ftOmmqEOs
「不過,事情還是有後續的。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAy4bDC5NcPH
465Please respect copyright.PENANAftOP5bAPkc
「嗯?」465Please respect copyright.PENANANFpO7s31ux
克太從來沒有聽說過事情有後續的發展。465Please respect copyright.PENANA1wYwUlXTQY
465Please respect copyright.PENANAbacN6rjk69
「飯後你跟你母親在廚房洗碗的時候,你父親在露台上跟我說過一番話,我至今還非常的深刻。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAIoSf5QfZ4t
克深臨收起了笑容,一臉凝重的望向默記招牌。465Please respect copyright.PENANAC8Mx9FZsWi
「他看得出我倆是真心相愛的,但同時亦看得出我的家境及財政狀況非常不濟......」465Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y1OHHzwxh

十年前,一棟三層高半山豪宅的二樓露台上。465Please respect copyright.PENANAaJF0RIeqod
465Please respect copyright.PENANAmiPGlCBA7N
「外父,剛才的事情,實在真的是非常不好意思。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAUe8W4TQbdo
克深臨臉露尷尬望向外父。465Please respect copyright.PENANA95ikq49QHf
465Please respect copyright.PENANAVgD77PQW47
「臨仔,不妨告訴你,當日我第一次到我現時老婆家中與她雙親吃晚飯的時候,因為過於緊張的關係不小心被魚骨啃到,最終更是要送至醫院急症室弄了好一大輪才能平息事件。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAG4euJveWxR
外父雙眼直視著露台外一望無際的風景,輕笑一聲。465Please respect copyright.PENANAxmUIPblwIf
「對比起來,剛才的事根本不值一提。」465Please respect copyright.PENANA7wWSWbOWDN
465Please respect copyright.PENANALZHNCEndBX
「噢。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAjANohE2c55
感覺到外父的善意後,克深臨剎那間放鬆了下來,早前湯水失誤的尷尬感一消而散。465Please respect copyright.PENANAXmRa1SpCnj
「你別介意就好了。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAH1W4UXnvXu
465Please respect copyright.PENANApW5tyudlbN
「我從我的女兒口中聽說,你在默記擔任見習經理職位?」465Please respect copyright.PENANAtN8svd0KW7
外父沒有在晚飯中談及此事,故意把這話題留在二人獨處的時候討論。465Please respect copyright.PENANAyz1rsEym95
465Please respect copyright.PENANAk8sHrNILU1
「對。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAZnWdWDy3KW
回到「嚴肅」話題後,克深臨的神情再度繃緊起來。465Please respect copyright.PENANAxqyghpGr6Q
465Please respect copyright.PENANAuS3W756FOK
「放心,我沒有甚麼的意思。正所謂行行出狀元,除非你是擔當香港警察,否則的話我並不會看不起你。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAUzZqVilyzJ
感受到克深臨的神情轉變後,外父用上右手輕輕拍打他的肩膀,著他大可放鬆一點。465Please respect copyright.PENANAZurelpvdr7
465Please respect copyright.PENANALqfFa9oQ0y
「不過呢,假設,假設你是我當日的外父,眼見未來女婿竟然在首次會面上如此不濟地弄出急症室鬧劇,你又會否放心把女兒交給他呢?」465Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ2gAxRUU3
465Please respect copyright.PENANArKk5Sjvu6v
無疑,這是一道史詩級刁鑽的問題。465Please respect copyright.PENANAlS9kk95xSu
465Please respect copyright.PENANAExyEyi8t68
答不放心的話,這等同是在冒犯著現時的克爸,同時亦是在貶低著自己早前在晚飯上的過失。但答放心的話,這又好像顯得自己在處事方面上不夠謹慎,對自己珍重的人毫不在乎。465Please respect copyright.PENANA2s4gF6TmI4
465Please respect copyright.PENANAflwObVhq9l
「我看......不應該單憑一件事來斷定一個人是否值得信任吧?」465Please respect copyright.PENANAV8CM9nf5hE
克深臨用上第三選項政策,消解問題的正當性。465Please respect copyright.PENANAAzN2sbQrIK
465Please respect copyright.PENANAK1xVdqE6Dp
「沒錯,說得非常之好。465Please respect copyright.PENANAbeAC5MCqvt
雖然我當日給予外父的第一印象並不為好,但日後我憑著努力證明自己的本事,闖出了一番事業創立雷鰻魚店並弄得聲聲有色後,才讓他放心把自己的女兒交託予我。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAzRDbmU7CHW
外父挺起胸膛,一臉自豪道,並往露台的落地玻璃位置輕敲數下。465Please respect copyright.PENANAVZmQAFC0g1
「所以,臨仔,你應該明白我的意思吧?」465Please respect copyright.PENANAsxIizqUTdS
465Please respect copyright.PENANAy1nOu5UaRO
「你的意思是......?」465Please respect copyright.PENANA1k1KPMb0wm
克深臨大概亦能夠領略外父的了弦外之音,但為了確保自己沒有理解錯誤,他索圖一道更清晰的指示。465Please respect copyright.PENANAdBBTG3Rud9
465Please respect copyright.PENANAoAJRW5FI7g
「我需要一道確實的保證,我並非把女兒交付予一名無能的男人。」465Please respect copyright.PENANAhIWMZxwB96
外父的雙眼甚為凌厲及尖銳,板起一副嚴肅的臉容,用上食指用力朝克深臨的心臟位置戳了數下。465Please respect copyright.PENANAT2WMDK6Y4f
