「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?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAWmAzfJUVs0
224Please respect copyright.PENANAuPg5Zun2bF
「洗過了啦,一回家就洗了。」224Please respect copyright.PENANAUEKyHTL4jU
224Please respect copyright.PENANAR9QHtSkvaD
衛命暝不太耐煩的說,隨後跟母親一起招呼客人入座。224Please respect copyright.PENANAHdLqO5l3Nu
224Please respect copyright.PENANAlT6elOvTcw
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。224Please respect copyright.PENANA95iXi3XVLM
224Please respect copyright.PENANAzF8gGLyFYk
「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。」224Please respect copyright.PENANAbeIII0sArz
224Please respect copyright.PENANAwaVfECQiFm
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。224Please respect copyright.PENANAi8sIP0Y8BX
224Please respect copyright.PENANAw9BNY9zphL
「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?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAzTbr7hUbYd
224Please respect copyright.PENANA2zX9wctMcO
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?224Please respect copyright.PENANAsXIXVHPfZV
224Please respect copyright.PENANAPMk4aErCOa
「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。」224Please respect copyright.PENANAZGEQA3s8vM
224Please respect copyright.PENANAfCccPBe4RF
「沒錯,那再隨便舉一種需要用到貝拉拉葉的魔藥?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAfiwIf5zyFa
224Please respect copyright.PENANA2UzU4QUMsO
「腸胃保健藥丸。」224Please respect copyright.PENANASlJ7gKY8be
224Please respect copyright.PENANAX2hUhsCL1b
「很好,那你右手邊那碗的基底跟什麼魔藥相同?」224Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z8y5FqJ7I
224Please respect copyright.PENANAksFq0Hbz4b
「除痘藥水?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAzc9SAuTnTo
224Please respect copyright.PENANAYYARe0n3nv
「對,再來,你左手邊那碗包含哪些魔藥材?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAgpk7zljTAF
224Please respect copyright.PENANAs5dRscP3oB
「黑蒲、墨草、軟布豆、甜蒜、哭疏瓜……」224Please respect copyright.PENANAOxShhVaHkv
224Please respect copyright.PENANANmKdTrjtLx
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。」224Please respect copyright.PENANARY0s3sxL8F
224Please respect copyright.PENANAxJT6ePylD6
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。」224Please respect copyright.PENANA7jJjFkrtMT
224Please respect copyright.PENANAHdiXjjlbAz
「還有一樣。」224Please respect copyright.PENANAkMIv3ymAyM
224Please respect copyright.PENANACxcXDrdSHr
「唔……垮耳草?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAr2TiWFHOXj
224Please respect copyright.PENANA0x0pVJgckD
「錯。」224Please respect copyright.PENANA9aHl4Hh02d
224Please respect copyright.PENANA6gu2KlNElX
「釷蔔薯?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAQloi9wJy4F
224Please respect copyright.PENANAiNV6uIfvmd
「不是,你真的有認真作答嗎?暝暝。」224Please respect copyright.PENANABcs30ylgTo
224Please respect copyright.PENANA9dqQD7nFug
「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:224Please respect copyright.PENANACjEq7Zm3eS
224Please respect copyright.PENANAvbVhugb1pQ
「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。」224Please respect copyright.PENANALg1vekd6yE
224Please respect copyright.PENANAslbR5MPAmu
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。224Please respect copyright.PENANAzkw2yWcTs5
224Please respect copyright.PENANA9bNqGCmG9H
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。224Please respect copyright.PENANAwwwuTF7NbC
224Please respect copyright.PENANAkhnCdCvxBb
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。224Please respect copyright.PENANAlLjiVBuRBP
224Please respect copyright.PENANAimx8XCSJ8k
「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?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAbmUMmIrWcV
224Please respect copyright.PENANAKNtxWXvGaC
「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?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAterr2vplcj
224Please respect copyright.PENANA5xMx9QFYIn
「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?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAt7S4zOEJpt
224Please respect copyright.PENANAhgvQ11CeyQ
「哼,我以後絕對不會繼承家業。」224Please respect copyright.PENANAH6zo3spex0
224Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ9P2bidaU
漢賽爾挑眉,「喔?不然你長大以後要幹嘛?」224Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2dMmL3yEP
224Please respect copyright.PENANAOGjVFCxSf9
「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。」224Please respect copyright.PENANA2NB0uwmRHr
224Please respect copyright.PENANAotg8y4AWFR
「我還以為你會想當發明家咧。」224Please respect copyright.PENANA0NqnJVxf1n
224Please respect copyright.PENANAxvBtx8iHPR
「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。」224Please respect copyright.PENANAjhO1TprDRB
224Please respect copyright.PENANAobXzHCWiTS
「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!」224Please respect copyright.PENANArKSKhZh4PS

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。224Please respect copyright.PENANAkqqxbYPxOW
224Please respect copyright.PENANA7haNBHvA1l
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。224Please respect copyright.PENANArsxkHRwkXv

「歡迎光臨衛家酒窖!」224Please respect copyright.PENANAPUJH39SkhS
224Please respect copyright.PENANA6d2XXcIs1N
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。224Please respect copyright.PENANAbWlNLgN4dy
224Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Bqe7rREB
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。
