375Please respect copyright.PENANAvKEH8qzXrw
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAvU1834OwET
375Please respect copyright.PENANAxDCMRngsh4
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAEGdM1OBEok
375Please respect copyright.PENANAbO8s3gbNWT
“今時今日,還在鋪面售賣七八十代的玩具嗎?”375Please respect copyright.PENANAEe4lBp5XHm
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAvTbEjnzDXO
375Please respect copyright.PENANAzsDlFZo7VF
「老闆,三罐冰鎮黑色可樂!」375Please respect copyright.PENANANQW50pTRor
孫望連在店舖前大嚷一聲。375Please respect copyright.PENANAPwaEm9Fu44
375Please respect copyright.PENANA3EzupoYbtJ
「雪櫃壞了,沒有冰凍黑色可樂,就只有室溫選擇而已。」375Please respect copyright.PENANA5IXfdbyPbe
一道虛弱及老邁的男人聲音從店舖內部發出。375Please respect copyright.PENANApBSl01QwUn
375Please respect copyright.PENANAv2YZ3PR7a0
「嗯,我不管,我就是要三罐冰凍黑色可樂!」375Please respect copyright.PENANACqvgBPX1uv
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAIrtaKOvCeQ
375Please respect copyright.PENANATtCElnkEFc
「我不是已經說了,雪櫃......375Please respect copyright.PENANAwswy3RJXUa
哦,原來是你?可真的是稀客呢!」375Please respect copyright.PENANABO56PsMw3h
士多老闆彎下腰,用著柺仗支撐著自己的身體走到店外。375Please respect copyright.PENANAlo3gyw40yx
375Please respect copyright.PENANAtIDVkM8Im4
「沒錯,我想要三罐冰凍黑色可樂。」375Please respect copyright.PENANAWtoAp20nUo
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAOd798NDNdD
375Please respect copyright.PENANAEV4OEO0uCd
「我認得你是誰,不用交出證明文件了!」375Please respect copyright.PENANAHL5Zv9NkfQ
老闆打開了一道暗門,展露通往地下街道的樓梯。375Please respect copyright.PENANACvdICQkH7V
375Please respect copyright.PENANAJrHs8yYE4m
375Please respect copyright.PENANAVyCsWUYi5A
「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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAmprGUZ27Zf
375Please respect copyright.PENANAbvOeCzRefK
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAohRkkPVhCb
375Please respect copyright.PENANAnfzZZI8QWU
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAunrrO5gkok
375Please respect copyright.PENANAysO9TCdsSi
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAjiAf9kcvBL
375Please respect copyright.PENANAk5TmyE4Ppi
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANA4DUrZe1AZq
375Please respect copyright.PENANAUFPP8wYI0t
「嗯,沒來二十年有多,不知道那間商鋪是否還健在呢?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAdLbM5Vl9zD
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANACqopYhtUhc
375Please respect copyright.PENANAdSGD4VWs3f
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAqbILIpWM8U

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。375Please respect copyright.PENANA5D4HYg1JLR
375Please respect copyright.PENANA9D0epdtF1H
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANA4ND4vBUex1
375Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ6J44jypS
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAgFTbZhS1G4
375Please respect copyright.PENANAIPe1TBwTrw
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANApioWFkEMyg
375Please respect copyright.PENANArzKBy8jU9h
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANA79Hg7QTORR
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAA7CHRRXYGT
375Please respect copyright.PENANAwg06VOyYJJ
要培養一隻公雞變身成為鬥雞,基本上有四大要點。375Please respect copyright.PENANARMc7F8hF0W
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAGZMprpjrRc
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAReqxshjSL6
375Please respect copyright.PENANAZEWB1pfXUd
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAex0XXsQlVk
375Please respect copyright.PENANAcn6Cz8LIhL
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAAdO1S3XJfr
當然,這點對雞肉的口感和味道並不會帶來任何的改進。375Please respect copyright.PENANAOh7Gc3Q9hJ
375Please respect copyright.PENANA187TXo6YaB
“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。”375Please respect copyright.PENANAjE9eeUBK4T
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAidQ3H8wZee
375Please respect copyright.PENANAQai3uYgC5W
「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?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2qr9hQ5iF
孫望連對森友雞鋪的老闆作出詢問。375Please respect copyright.PENANA7xpsdgAmJq
375Please respect copyright.PENANAhf6X17DInB
「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。」375Please respect copyright.PENANAZNI72TjQDW
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANA5TrdG0aRNj
「噢,不好意思,這隻鬥雞......」375Please respect copyright.PENANA4reIeow0fE
375Please respect copyright.PENANAGFObphNkCl
375Please respect copyright.PENANAEG6UJHx2P2
「剛剛在十分鐘之前已被我預訂了!」375Please respect copyright.PENANAHPswEquEUO
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAhHbh85ru1O
375Please respect copyright.PENANA51odEsKGLF
「克深臨?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAIBgARjsJfF
孫望連顯然對克深臨的出現感到萬分驚訝。375Please respect copyright.PENANA3UncrvTPO3
375Please respect copyright.PENANAq0b7X7qvfT
「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!」375Please respect copyright.PENANASOy8q1gCCR
克深臨深感榮幸的模樣,微笑道。375Please respect copyright.PENANAtlBivIv0gU
375Please respect copyright.PENANATmHRp87Qee
「嗯,我有一些事情急需運用那隻鬥雞,這次你可否......?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAGaiVncw01C
孫望連意欲游說對方把軍雞轉養給予自己。375Please respect copyright.PENANAIi0QRTHQRA
375Please respect copyright.PENANAKWrto38HWB
「你所指的事情,是不是三月所舉辦的全日本親子丼大賽?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAAFzqM4WoiV
克深臨心知肚明地作出詢問。375Please respect copyright.PENANAzk5v168lHB
375Please respect copyright.PENANAuPm9Dom9yO
「你......你找人調查我?為何你要這樣做?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAVrDcZ59JNO
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAys4yZKau35
375Please respect copyright.PENANAznLj9IScir
「望連大哥你果然風趣,五十步笑百步。375Please respect copyright.PENANAmeFkzqOhL2
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!」375Please respect copyright.PENANAPagFVdTkEY
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAXDu1W5xjLj
375Please respect copyright.PENANAck10RulJvo
「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!」375Please respect copyright.PENANAu7YSybqvKh
375Please respect copyright.PENANA0GsTfB25O6
375Please respect copyright.PENANAK6QvVWBbZy
「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。」375Please respect copyright.PENANAHDVmfMMGzj
孫望連不想讓誤會繼續加深下去,只好實話實說道出真相。375Please respect copyright.PENANA0FgPsPAGIE
375Please respect copyright.PENANAmQIjyqC5ZQ
375Please respect copyright.PENANAMNx7v6QToF
「哦,是嗎?那你現在找到答案了嗎?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAM9v5FOcn49
克深臨強顏苦笑,明顯對孫望連的這個解釋並不信任。375Please respect copyright.PENANAHpGEur61QR
375Please respect copyright.PENANA68EsWX1bM8
375Please respect copyright.PENANAgiugZyfBqI
「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?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAFvI2Lj0FKU
孫望連並不想就這次事件與克深臨作出交惡。375Please respect copyright.PENANAixrAj64LlN
375Please respect copyright.PENANANVdFdFTSor
「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。」375Please respect copyright.PENANAf1UhSi7cYr
克深臨點頭數下。375Please respect copyright.PENANAdgaLdoRPoI
375Please respect copyright.PENANADt1ZRFQTtd
375Please respect copyright.PENANAoP8F1sqiOA
「慢著!你這句話的意思......375Please respect copyright.PENANAmVZc5QJUJZ
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?」375Please respect copyright.PENANAhsmWGXLa1I
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAp6c0gulhtk

「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。」375Please respect copyright.PENANAaOIftFJZ6Q
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。375Please respect copyright.PENANAK66OCNSbHd
375Please respect copyright.PENANAlPkgFX2K5U
「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!」375Please respect copyright.PENANAAW6ytC4inS
