「俾條魚望住我點食?」我暫時把壽司放回碟上。253Please respect copyright.PENANAqg8XdtZe87
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZrsnxopp1W
這時師傅拿起黑布,立即蓋起那幾個白漆盤與那個魚頭,而小妺妹則豎起手指要我收聲。我覺得莫名奇妙。253Please respect copyright.PENANAlenrc5OWBL
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmB1biR6jE1
「點解我唔講得野?」我問。253Please respect copyright.PENANAeMxxnDqvU4
253Please respect copyright.PENANAevU7qOSbjs
「一陣你講多咗,佢聽到又知咗,就會死。行下好心唔該!」小妺妺細聲講。253Please respect copyright.PENANAT5H2JAHJjK
253Please respect copyright.PENANAa5iN09Oqzo
「聽到都會死?無照鏡喎!」我也跟住她細聲。253Please respect copyright.PENANA281kWSYENS
253Please respect copyright.PENANAF9ljgvFvIb
「會!比干就係咁衰多口問人先死!」253Please respect copyright.PENANAuRvQCjlkJA
253Please respect copyright.PENANASaIwOikqWh
「哦⋯⋯」香港人都睇過封神榜,比干和無心菜的故事我知,但不知又關魚師事,我有一秒想開口追問故事,但不想在這刻顯得太無人性。「咁我係咪食埋呢碟就走得?」253Please respect copyright.PENANAGfPjnRQd0B
253Please respect copyright.PENANAE9HqipECza
「仲有一盤刺身,但你要快手食咗呢碟先,魚師切嘅魚肉唔會氧化,但放耐咗有菌,塊肉發炎就唔食得。」253Please respect copyright.PENANAvGnaIqZ0r8
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnQrVWe2vt1
呢個時候我突然想起一個必須要搞清楚的事,便問道:「點證明?」我不是在問上一個話題的事,但小妹妹一定明白。253Please respect copyright.PENANACnGe9N88AA
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvd2NXnwe5a
「你食到最後一道菜咪知!」253Please respect copyright.PENANA5DlcI2NSiF
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9mVVO20v7B
上星期小妺妹說過,如果想求魚師幫忙,就一定要食到最後,食完為止,我好像明白她的意思,但不敢去明,心中祈求自己心多。253Please respect copyright.PENANAM71720CrN3
253Please respect copyright.PENANAay4pprjkJC
事到如今,我不敢得罪魚師,就算不安,也只能遵守承諾。253Please respect copyright.PENANAwNNVyNZr5W
253Please respect copyright.PENANAq2d7NNwiSf
我把壽司放入口中嘴嚼,魚腦碎在我的上顎散發住冰涼,我食不出腥味,只嚐到魚脂香,而魚肉更是油脂飽滿,在入口的一刻,軟肉就融入飯中,不分你我,好似一層薄魚肉網住了飯,又在裡面生根,每嚼一下,飯團裡面都會食到鰤魚肉的纖維。253Please respect copyright.PENANAhrLomAS5AB
253Please respect copyright.PENANADNPQYfHUKk
「好好食!你食咗未?」有一剎那味覺的迷惑了我,我對住小妺妹的另一邊說話,突然想起,Sally不會答理我,我就在小妺妹和師傅的注目中尷尬低頭,望住檯面吉碟,沉默良久。253Please respect copyright.PENANA5jL2VoGl8G
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjOfvzuVRE5
師傅開始準備最後一道菜,他蹲下打開雪櫃,取出一截鮮紅的刺身,一手抹淨砧板,把肉放在上面,拿起一支圓木棍,在刺身的一端輕輕滾動,竟捲下一片薄如紙的肉膜來。253Please respect copyright.PENANAyApeY6quvb
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYXdMBRNhU8
「嘩!師傅唔洗用刀嘅?支棍係咩嚟?」我裝作驚訝,以趕走心中的胡思亂想。253Please respect copyright.PENANAnNptBvTEVu
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9ftsQQA8qx
「只係普通棍,魚師用眼解魚,用刀用棍都只係掩眼手法啫。」小妹妹答得平淡,神情倒很得戚。「以前魚師宮本武藏就用船槳幫有緣人兵解,揩一下額頭就可以將頭骨解開,後來佢徒弟權之助悟道之後,就用棍解人。長庚果時係江戶學整早鮨,啫係宜家嘅箱壓壽司,咁啱遇到魚師權之助,就學咗用棍解魚嘅技巧。」253Please respect copyright.PENANA3NJWch52Lr
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0swSezKDDY
「終於講到日本!我以為中國先有魚師,但唔明點解你地又會做日本菜。」253Please respect copyright.PENANAkhUEdrQZmw
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYqCfUb3pBU
「咩中國?大唐宋國大邑商,我無講過中國啊?況且我都提過善無畏啦,佢係烏荼人嚟架喎,至於中國,文革時期好多人比人批鬥,魚師就暗啞底幫人兵解,如果成為批鬥對象,就跳入長江水解變魚,等人食咗再奪舍,宜家共產黨一日存在,我一個名都唔提得。」253Please respect copyright.PENANA89c6YSBfLZ
253Please respect copyright.PENANApXORMF8md8
「咁仲有其他遠少少國家嘅魚師?」253Please respect copyright.PENANArXJEhE1VKm
253Please respect copyright.PENANAattmQFGC5B
「有啊,不過各地文化唔同,未必會叫魚師咁解。」小妺妺越講越興起,又開始講故事:「以前有一支民族叫馬薩革泰,住係宜家嘅阿富汗附近一帶,佢地食生魚,解海豹,好多都係魚師,當族人老果陣,就會將老人家解開,放出牲口形相嘅元神,煮嚟比大家一齊食,在世嘅人就可以同先人同在。253Please respect copyright.PENANAek587rrHOr
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJPCQISVGCq
你又有無聽過居魯士二世?」253Please respect copyright.PENANAHO2yUi7L9H
253Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ8236LmdO
我無鑽研歷史,所以誠實搖頭,小妺妺講故事幫我分心,我求之不得。「你講啦!聽緊。」253Please respect copyright.PENANASXk97kkzLo
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtIhsq2ty1f
「居魯士二世,猶太經書講法譯做古列,猶太先知以賽亞就預言過佢變成鳥從東方來,當時居魯士以為係比喻佢打贏巴比倫,釋放猶太人回國建聖殿。253Please respect copyright.PENANAYLWThwPYji
253Please respect copyright.PENANAevfyBQKJHw
後來居魯士係攻打馬薩革泰時,就逼到馬薩革泰嘅王子兵解,王子嘅元神化成鷹,飛返去將件事話比女王知,女王托米莉斯就同居魯士決鬥,將佢個頭解落黎裝落袋,唔比佢見到自己身體,然後日日餵佢飲人血。253Please respect copyright.PENANAiy81VLcMAp
253Please respect copyright.PENANA26mYDCXpIh
後來日子耐咗,居魯士歸化咗,都成為咗一位魚師,輾轉之下變成一隻白蝴蝶,飛咗去東方世界。」253Please respect copyright.PENANAi9A3ZDzbRK
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAnDEDQrXsD
小妺妺講故事點到即止,眼甘甘望住我。253Please respect copyright.PENANAqRzrR8XsBQ
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlz0zxVUhQq
「即係點?哦⋯⋯」突然想起她講的上一個故事,原來兩個故事是接埋的。253Please respect copyright.PENANATK8mVVJgmU
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2WLmAtFVA7
「哈,即係上菜囉!」小妺妺一笑,跳落櫈子,鑽過壽司吧檯的橫板,經過過廚房,揭起竹簾。在她走進走火通道前又轉過頭講:「呢道菜食嘅係無腸魚嘅刺身,等我拉佢出黎比你見見。」253Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ68OOtibe
253Please respect copyright.PENANAiXPgMBN9kh
聽到是魚,我鬆一口氣,看住師傅將刺身一棍一棍捲下來,再用手指棉力將薄片推出棍的未端,擺在盤上如同盞盞嬌艷紅花,誘惑著我的口舌。253Please respect copyright.PENANAVPe7GRSRWu
253Please respect copyright.PENANAErJMP96s9c
「我帶無腸魚出嚟啦,你睇下!」253Please respect copyright.PENANAu2aKzTFeo9
253Please respect copyright.PENANAA9s34hF7Kp
竹簾揭起,把我嚇到連人帶櫈反落地。253Please respect copyright.PENANAQoOs3gK6eX
253Please respect copyright.PENANAO7s35jEFHT
「屌你老母!屌你老母!屌你老母!」我失控大叫。253Please respect copyright.PENANAydZrBEiW7s
253Please respect copyright.PENANA76fICQdYFK
小妺妺牽住無腸魚,魚眼位置被白布帶綁住,兩個耳朵位置都插住一手掌長的長針,魚的腹部是一個挖空的大洞,甚麼內臟都沒有。無腸魚著住豔紅色的龍鳳裙褂,頭戴黃銅鳳冠,在小妺妺的牽引帶領,朝我碎步走來,每走一步,魚頭上的翠珠金釵都在搖擺。253Please respect copyright.PENANALmTzhxvO3U
253Please respect copyright.PENANAhG4ArQxJKA
「我唔會食架,你無講過最後一道菜係咁!我淨係知你地幫到我,但我根本唔知你地係咁幫人!」253Please respect copyright.PENANAZfqll16KUj
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMpBhvuI8GP
「幫人?哥哥仔!幫你又係害人架啫!」小妺妺蹲下來看我。「不如幫人,幫埋你啦!」
