為了盡快清除青蘋果大量存貨,默記創立人接近以成本價的方式把蘋果批銷售出去,只求不蝕,不求圖利。466Please respect copyright.PENANAYgRdovaEtL
466Please respect copyright.PENANA7YgmbKQUAy
奈何,普通大眾對蘋果批始終興趣不大,銷售量慘不忍睹。466Please respect copyright.PENANA0ii4eHKeDk
466Please respect copyright.PENANACu1XZEu7TZ
有見及此,創立人在榨盡腦汁底下想出了「默默食蘋果批大賽」這個鬼主意,重金禮騁召集世界各地的大胃王前來,以一對一的方式比鬥誰能先行吃下五十件蘋果批,採用淘汰賽方式決定誰人能夠奪下蘋果批之王的寶座。466Please respect copyright.PENANAZMizrOdaPt
466Please respect copyright.PENANAdHrV98Eymg
比賽規模搞得有聲有色的關係,人群裡牽起了一股蘋果批的熱潮,觀賽者更是接近以一人一蘋果批的方式入場,使整個比賽的氛圍均充斥著蘋果批氣味之餘,青蘋果的存貨亦能夠一掃而空。466Please respect copyright.PENANAfKqZpLioNe
466Please respect copyright.PENANAoUf5VWFadv
而更讓創立人意想不到的是,扣除一切開支及舉辦比賽所花的金錢後,最終的盈利竟然達七位數字之多,簡直就是名利雙收。466Please respect copyright.PENANAX9OaJ29XkC
466Please respect copyright.PENANATqZPLdzoWd
隨後的每一年,創立人均有舉辦「默默食蘋果批大賽」賺取暴利,直至第五屆中有選手不幸地被蘋果批噎至窒息而死才因而告終;466Please respect copyright.PENANAdbo5GtVGLY
這亦是為何默記全球分店的蘋果批製作比賽每五年才舉辦一次的原因,某程度上蘊含著悼念死者的意味。466Please respect copyright.PENANAUBzYvQUhJZ
466Please respect copyright.PENANAw8Vkt6IASZ
「麥經理,若果你並不是前來光顧的話,我看你還是請回吧!466Please respect copyright.PENANA1kKpKYjMxg
我完全看不到有甚麼理由我們要接受貴店所提出的『默默食蘋果批大賽』無理請求!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAdK6pUXBcWD
間時伸出右手,臉露笑容請示麥默明離開。466Please respect copyright.PENANAiDY43hxDG6
466Please respect copyright.PENANA5Divel3C4s
「間經理,請你放心,我是以個人的身份向畢時提出挑戰。466Please respect copyright.PENANAR8mVfjWg8V
這場比賽並不會納入在官方記錄裡頭,勝負結果亦不會影響我們兩店之間的聲譽。」466Please respect copyright.PENANAFfD5Pu7A1z
麥默明並沒有離開的意思,只是往廚房內部左顧右盼,試圖找出新面孔的存在,亦即是畢時本人。466Please respect copyright.PENANAJzt4MaiHem
466Please respect copyright.PENANAcQNboxyS8Y
「麥經理,你還是死心吧,畢時現時並不在這裡。466Please respect copyright.PENANAdHvpEzS2gg
就算他真的是在這裡,我亦不會允許他接受你的比賽呈請。」466Please respect copyright.PENANAjppW3N9ndC
間時的態度非常強硬,言行之間亦顯示出自己為本店經理的強橫氣勢。466Please respect copyright.PENANAXhZKEGTqq7
466Please respect copyright.PENANAEjTSpF21vC
「間經理,你慢慢聽我說下去才下定論也不為遲!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAnfg3n1yuTn
麥默明把身後的背囊放到收銀機旁,並拉開拉鏈讓間時窺探裡頭的景況。466Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0XbVRMz0j
466Please respect copyright.PENANAOII23Xs9I0
「我的背囊裡頭藏有一百件蘋果批,只要誰能夠先行吃下五十件蘋果批便為勝方。466Please respect copyright.PENANAsAoPDbI5dF
466Please respect copyright.PENANA01e8TwgtnO
畢時輸掉比試的話,他便要親身前來希爾頓分店在我妹妹面前下跪,叩三下響頭大叫對不起!466Please respect copyright.PENANAG726jiEARs
466Please respect copyright.PENANA477CQKzlte
若然是我輸掉的話,我便會把希爾頓分店的蘋果批樹拱手相讓予本店!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAx2P19TT7rE
466Please respect copyright.PENANAjcBSOotaBV
店舖的九位核心成員聽到比賽的罰則後,無不駭然一驚,心想自己究竟是否聽錯了甚麼。466Please respect copyright.PENANACN9PF02c2J
466Please respect copyright.PENANAQdwmIiAfxY
「蘋果批樹?我沒有聽錯吧?466Please respect copyright.PENANAW27KYGVmBf
麥默明你有必要玩得這樣大嗎?」466Please respect copyright.PENANAnlfsqwH6kt
受她所押下的賭注影響關係,間時的思緒錯亂至直呼她的全名,而不是以經理銜頭作稱呼。466Please respect copyright.PENANA2mMVeg2gNf
466Please respect copyright.PENANAAreJQkduXd
「你沒有聽錯,就是貨真假實的蘋果批樹,我並不是在玩捉字蚤的遊戲!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAEiGbusR3d5
說著的同時,麥默明從背囊裡拿出編號為003的「蘋果批樹認證證書正本」,以明正身。466Please respect copyright.PENANAKMf2HKZea1
466Please respect copyright.PENANAgkCKIRdllz
「蘋果批樹?很具紀念價值的嗎?何以大家表現得這麼驚訝的呢?」466Please respect copyright.PENANAOi9bloEPVc
一直躲在暗角偷聽對話的畢時,洽時現身在眾人面前。466Please respect copyright.PENANAOCOJjRcHLK
466Please respect copyright.PENANAjEdurZYMuo
「哦?原來你就是畢時?466Please respect copyright.PENANAclsVSmecrW
想不到你生得好眉好貌,竟然會折墮至欺負我那名十三歲的可愛妹妹!466Please respect copyright.PENANA3neVavlDps
是男人的話,就站出來跟我一決一,別做縮頭烏龜!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAXXW4lme5SP
麥默明右手食指直指畢時,大聲喝斥。466Please respect copyright.PENANAJkyDgOfxeF
466Please respect copyright.PENANAT2NkMtmpz7
「畢時你退後一旁,這裡並沒有你的事!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAkPiD3gO9NZ
間時一手推開他,確保麥默明及畢時二人相隔著至少兩米的安全距離。466Please respect copyright.PENANAZX7xmEHOME
466Please respect copyright.PENANAd3MZuP5r3F
「麥默明,只是為了賭上一時之氣便貿然賭上你辛苦取來的蘋果批樹,這值得嗎?」466Please respect copyright.PENANAMoS6DLzXe6

畢時被推後三尺之際,冥叔一手擋下他的背部使他沒有跌倒在地上,並順道解釋蘋果批樹的奧妙之處。466Please respect copyright.PENANABN4HwyKYQA
466Please respect copyright.PENANAwXpYuqUiir
在每年一月二日的年度會議中,全年銷售額最高的二十間分店將會被獲發嘉許和獎勵。466Please respect copyright.PENANAq2sFWRuoK8
466Please respect copyright.PENANAQcZY106JeI
而為了增添分店互相之間的競爭氣氛,總部特別設定每年的十二月一日為『默趣日』,當日的銷售額將會以乘一百的方式來處理,好讓一直落後的分店在最後一個月裡頭還有逆轉狂瀾的機會,隨時更大有機會從後居上列入二十大排行榜。466Please respect copyright.PENANA51Kp4tijOt
466Please respect copyright.PENANAet5e8BawYW
然而,為了鼓勵香港各分店踴躍參於每五年一度的全球默記蘋果批製作大賽,擁有蘋果批樹的分店在默趣日的銷售價將會加碼至乘五百倍之多作處理。466Please respect copyright.PENANAPG9hBZtHgD
466Please respect copyright.PENANATCVjB75fTo
得樹者,基本上可以說是穩入全港二十大排行榜,尤其是香港十八區分店現時就只有旺角新世紀廣場及沙田希爾頓分店坐擁一棵全球數量只有一百的蘋果批樹。466Please respect copyright.PENANAp1OrevCOuU
466Please respect copyright.PENANAscVuMmDlhN
麥默明竟然會把如此珍貴之物用在這無關痛癢的對賭之中,在場的九名員工會感到費解亦屬常情。466Please respect copyright.PENANA4MUm3VeXvJ
466Please respect copyright.PENANAUnz2pZoiiU
「間時,若果我能夠替分店取下蘋果批樹的話,你會否答應我不再流放我到公海裡頭,而是讓我接手廚房的工作呢?」466Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sc2BA5Yh1
得悉蘋果批樹的效用後,畢時果斷地中斷間時與麥默明的二人對話,把間時拉到一旁去作悄悄話。466Please respect copyright.PENANAnKTmXOJIof
466Please respect copyright.PENANAcXTfURxHil
「哈,能夠取得蘋果批樹的話,何止廚房位置,直情有足夠資格取代我現時的經理位置!」466Please respect copyright.PENANACn8ztQ5O5n
間時聳肩一下,嗤之以鼻一笑。466Please respect copyright.PENANAfFsgdIHza1
「但在這之前,你能夠說出帝國、加拉以及蜜翠果三者的分別嗎?」466Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ4omsO9o4
466Please respect copyright.PENANAsUvh7Cw8UT
「吓?你在說甚麼?帝國、加拉?你是在說著電腦遊戲術語嗎?」466Please respect copyright.PENANAMMpdkIbq8B
畢時疑惑道。466Please respect copyright.PENANA9wTlbU4Dnc
466Please respect copyright.PENANAq6meDcHej0
啪!466Please respect copyright.PENANAGkcU4EHh37
466Please respect copyright.PENANAaUew2zyTzu
間時右手拍打遮蓋自己面部,低頭苦笑。466Please respect copyright.PENANAda1tIqCKhM
「你連蘋果中最為基本的三個品種名稱也毫不知情,試問又有甚麼本錢能夠贏取勝利?466Please respect copyright.PENANAcwUlqaWB3w
我勸你還是不要衝出去丟人面子好了!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAgdW6RI0MMy
466Please respect copyright.PENANAVNYBcb8ZK8
466Please respect copyright.PENANAkbHtZgDXYE
「喂,現在可是鬥快吃蘋果批大賽,而不是蘋果批常識問答比賽。466Please respect copyright.PENANAEhfajIkfL5
我是否懂得這些知識,根本就與比試勝負亳無關係!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAbOFkbPFKn0
說罷,畢時搶先走到收銀機前,向麥默明表示將會參加是次比試,且要求給予他作十五分鐘的事前準備。466Please respect copyright.PENANA27S35N27Re
466Please respect copyright.PENANAUm75fSImzc
466Please respect copyright.PENANAU54MJ2wS51
「傻仔,你實在是太低估對手的實力了!466Please respect copyright.PENANADF8HPOcbJ6
對方可是擁有澱粉之手的蘋果批高手,又怎可能會被你這名連帝國蘋果也不知為何物的門外漢擊敗呢?」466Please respect copyright.PENANA0PcojGDw8P
間時雙手叉在胸前,倚在牆邊,亮出一道不屑的笑容。466Please respect copyright.PENANA52xn3xmk0v
466Please respect copyright.PENANAIxiKJlQ5n2
「能夠用上蘋果批樹作抵押,足以證明她是有著百分百信心前來的。466Please respect copyright.PENANAJV24DOnvG6
這很明顯是一場必輸的比試,你還硬是要自投羅網,唉.......」466Please respect copyright.PENANAWy1GI3Hl5x

「距離上一次足足有兩星期有多,應該不會有任何大礙的!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAgyxSr32URG
畢時把兩顆藥丸伴上清水送進肚裡後,隨即步出男更衣室,步往餐廳裡頭的最大一張長方形桌子。466Please respect copyright.PENANA88KTZDZhmi
466Please respect copyright.PENANAndIEl8KyHo
一百件蘋果批早已十乘十的排列方式整整齊齊放在桌上,麥默明一臉自信的坐在一方,靜候畢時的來臨。466Please respect copyright.PENANAOgThgSeK4P
466Please respect copyright.PENANA4ks4fHl6l0
街坊們雖然並不太暸解事件的來龍去脈,但因著感覺到大氣間存在著濃厚的比賽氣氛關係,均有著共識的在比賽長桌旁圍上大圈,等候好戲來臨。466Please respect copyright.PENANAifoPrscJ5u
466Please respect copyright.PENANANn3ss3lFrT
「默宋年紀還小,所以才會讓你得逞用上牛扒理論戲弄了她,但這些偽科學對我來說是不會有任何效果的!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAEN4LIviTxW
在比賽將正式舉行之際,默明對畢時說。466Please respect copyright.PENANAIc4hZsZb4X
466Please respect copyright.PENANAgwU6Etcknw
「我要你在比試過後,連本帶利好好跟默宋道歉!」466Please respect copyright.PENANAkugah9VJfb

466Please respect copyright.PENANABuoKES05qd
