稽查員帶來的兵士們,見兩名憲兵走了過來,有些士兵因為心虛,不禁開始你看我、我看你!畢竟他們都知道,自己曾幹過哪些見不得光的勾當!219Please respect copyright.PENANAoenmvdw5c7
219Please respect copyright.PENANAzPeEBy8Kbc
「這裡......咋會有憲兵?」排長嘴裡嘀咕。219Please respect copyright.PENANAKV02RQtQUm
219Please respect copyright.PENANAkwfffrOjaD
稽查員:「怕啥子呢,放心,這裡有俺在!」219Please respect copyright.PENANAhEJUq5lIe8
219Please respect copyright.PENANAv877s0td6Q
弘爺模仿去年老瓦自介時的動作,先拱手作揖,然後字正腔圓地報上自己的姓名、軍銜,及所屬部隊番號。219Please respect copyright.PENANAIEZMljoD3L
219Please respect copyright.PENANAGXknMx5YuC
稽查員仔細打量眼前這名陌生憲兵,瞧他年紀雖大,卻是個二等兵!加上舉手投足間,還有幾分江湖範兒!他在心裡琢磨著:此人若不是以下犯上,遭降階懲處,就是高深莫測的落難英雄!看來......在摸清他的來路以前,還是先禮讓三分微妙!219Please respect copyright.PENANANqeSNBaEHi
219Please respect copyright.PENANAzNQcQj5DFU
於是稽查員先賣弘爺一個面子,也拱手作揖,回敬一番。219Please respect copyright.PENANAVKm7p1mUtd
219Please respect copyright.PENANAtACueyY5R9
排長聽到弘爺所屬部隊的番號後,趕緊湊到稽查員耳旁,怯聲提示:「他是『狄隊長』的人!」219Please respect copyright.PENANA0tB1Ao1xCL
219Please respect copyright.PENANA1xbFTj3xZ1
「哪個『狄隊長』?俺怎沒聽說過!」稽查員語帶不屑地說。219Please respect copyright.PENANAZuD9GGyJYT
219Please respect copyright.PENANAER83iqPCYj
弘爺見狄隊的名聲不管用,於是又問:「神機百總-楊文釗、楊站長,您可認得?」219Please respect copyright.PENANAvRi1wlDHDJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAuwsHNWqMdh
一聽到楊站的名字,稽查員剎時就楞住了!再加上排長剛才在耳邊提及大輪車的事蹟,這下換他心裡開始沒底了!219Please respect copyright.PENANAatmILXFeVW
219Please respect copyright.PENANA25MyUeRjtV
弘爺察覺到稽查員的臉色略有異樣,接著再問:「瓦上孔明-邢雋祺、邢主任,您可認得?」219Please respect copyright.PENANA8eYxzgiZkn
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4u649rGJeq
「哈哈哈哈,原來您認得『神爺』和『瓦爺』!唉唷,不早說,失敬失敬!」稽查員立馬換了張笑臉,變得和顏悅色起來!219Please respect copyright.PENANA6lJw2XXeYA
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwkCbqjvsxl
經過一番虛情假意的客套寒暄後,換由弘爺代表出面與稽查員交涉。219Please respect copyright.PENANAImNLRf27ID
219Please respect copyright.PENANAygkg5zw3qE
弘爺模仿外省人的口氣,說道:「能否賣莊某一個面子,還望大人高抬貴手,網開一面,放過身後這群鄉親父老一馬?」219Please respect copyright.PENANAwi0M4r9Vln
219Please respect copyright.PENANAjeXA8KbJr0
「哈哈哈......既然是神爺的人,那就是自己人!好說......都好說。」稽查員話雖如此,卻面有難色。接著又說:「可您也知道......上峰有令,每天要查扣多少頓量,那都有數,您也別給俺太為難!」219Please respect copyright.PENANAeoKj9ECeMp
219Please respect copyright.PENANAB32LGI9hfQ
幾番來回討價還價,雙方最終取得共識;稽查員答應只押走今天查緝商貨的一半量,另一半悉數返還攤商!219Please respect copyright.PENANAWOX9Nlq962
219Please respect copyright.PENANAnOZkaDh1zU
稍晚,待兵士們把商貨搬上卡車後,稽查員隨即收隊走人!等卡車徹底消失在視野範圍後,大夥這才鬆了口氣!原本還繃緊緊的肅穆表情,瞬間岔了氣,全都笑了開來!219Please respect copyright.PENANAP5hU3b6tLQ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAHEosQSS5Zo
阿偉故意模仿一遍弘爺拱手作揖的動作和口氣,笑讚:「還有模有樣呢!」219Please respect copyright.PENANADDt0rxJzjW
219Please respect copyright.PENANAv1Sqaqb6ve
廟口攤商們,對大輪車一行人的仗義解圍,無不表示感激與佩服,紛紛誇口讚頌!219Please respect copyright.PENANAt2KkfsUV32
219Please respect copyright.PENANA69ZQdWxkzj
糧行雖被帶走一半的米糧,但至少不是顆粒無剩。稍晚,阿丁扶著外婆,特地來向浩克致謝,還拎著一大瓶清酒要贈與他們!219Please respect copyright.PENANA8PXj6w4CSh
219Please respect copyright.PENANAitlrjNjvtn
一早就有驚無險的遇上這麼攤事,今天也沒心思做生意了,乾脆早早打烊;趁弘爺、阿偉難得來一趟江仔嘴,大夥拎著清酒,再帶上幾隻沒來得及售出的烤鴨,回到平房小聚一場。219Please respect copyright.PENANAnmXECA4jX9
219Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1pMFeNb9l
自查緝風波後,廟口菜市的熱鬧氣氛大不如前,攤商們都不敢在自家店舖裡擺滿商貨,就怕哪天稽查隊又回來搜刮一波!219Please respect copyright.PENANAhXF3mayoxe
219Please respect copyright.PENANANpZuluIn1Z
話雖如此,但生意還得做,只是得藏著、偷著做。小額交易尚且能在菜市進行,量大一點的,就得去到附近較隱蔽的倉庫進行。像菸、酒這類奢侈品,市場上幾乎絕跡!要真想買,還得找到熟人引路,走完三關四卡後才能買到。219Please respect copyright.PENANAKDLsFfqFAr
219Please respect copyright.PENANA9LZjdUdkRc
除了生意難做外,通貨膨脹更是可怕!當前一包香菸少說也得準備個五、六千才買得到,進口菸甚至破萬的都有!好些地方甚至不再使用貨幣交易了,而是乾脆以物易物!219Please respect copyright.PENANA9vMuDMDxLR
219Please respect copyright.PENANAYAWdKqsyn7
農曆七月半後,湳仔溝的新鴨場開始動工、整地,大夥白天幾乎都在那裡忙活工程。219Please respect copyright.PENANAWqAaw7RRYw

好在羅排帶來一匹馬,算是解決了此前獸力不足的運輸問題。但一則以喜,一則以憂;蔡蓉身體出現微恙,海川說她最近沒天沒夜的吐!不得已,只好告假在家休養,而顧店的工作就交給羅排和花子兩人暫代。219Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8HAAZcrKD
219Please respect copyright.PENANApQ9G56vyf3
羅排雖不懂閩南話,但好在花子會日語,能用流利的日語和客人交談;也多虧最近生意不是很好,二人守在店鋪裡幫襯,勉強還湊合。219Please respect copyright.PENANAivXGKP61NV
219Please respect copyright.PENANAq1llepFLPM
查理的私塾也在這幾天開業,但門可羅雀;畢竟鄉親們飯都吃不飽了,哪還顧得上讀書!即便收費再低廉,也是乏人問津。219Please respect copyright.PENANA9PBfETD1J1
219Please respect copyright.PENANAShkFRKcPOa
後來在海川的引薦下,找到幾個大戶人家,聘請查理前去擔任家教,教他們的孩子學習英語。219Please respect copyright.PENANAgYkHtFqufl

轉眼間,時間來到九月。一天早晨,和往常一樣,開店前,浩克和俊泰先烤好十隻鴨。219Please respect copyright.PENANAxPqpQEN5QB
219Please respect copyright.PENANArsYP6mesuo
「不烤太多,怕賣不完......我估計今天要能賣出五隻就算不錯了。」浩克對羅排說道。219Please respect copyright.PENANAMAF9kKWpjC
219Please respect copyright.PENANAR3wAKzSvqX
羅排:「放心吧,有花子在,我看能賣六隻!」219Please respect copyright.PENANA4I0KemYEW4
219Please respect copyright.PENANAPRAVfJ418Y
聽羅排幽這麼一默,浩克先會心一笑,然後說:「你們就這麼點志氣?不挑戰看看十隻全賣掉!」219Please respect copyright.PENANAlU3Do0Wgo9
219Please respect copyright.PENANA8lqwjnp4Vl
羅排擺了擺手,笑道:「都賣光了,我們晚餐吃什麼?」219Please respect copyright.PENANAIE1nnlxdav
219Please respect copyright.PENANAomfwl1SXyO
浩克作勢飛踢羅排屁股,懟道:「原來你在惦記著今天的即期品!」219Please respect copyright.PENANApAx6fkoWQ4
219Please respect copyright.PENANAPjnC3Vld0L
把店舖交給羅排和花子後,浩克便駕著馬車,和俊泰一起往湳仔溝工地趕去。219Please respect copyright.PENANAUWz97q0xvK
219Please respect copyright.PENANAWl0vpysx2p
原以為今天會像前幾天一樣,又是站櫃、顧店、趕蒼蠅的一天。上午10點剛過,突然來了八名年輕人,年紀都不大,甚至有幾個看起來還是未成年!他們上門來也不買東西,就東看看、西瞧瞧,時不時還隨手翻翻排列整齊的商品!219Please respect copyright.PENANADvhUdquSdJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANATqRewfuEX7
帶頭的年紀稍長,但看上去還不到二十歲;一副痞子德性,腳踩著木屐,頂著山本頭,還對羅排說了一大串閩南話!但羅排聽不懂,只好讓花子用日語試著與他們溝通。219Please respect copyright.PENANAzRd5s1Ezwo
219Please respect copyright.PENANAMBhoypeUMv
「他們想知道我們是誰?還問原本顧店的大姊怎麼沒看到人?」花子用客家話對羅排說道。219Please respect copyright.PENANAtPuCofE42l
219Please respect copyright.PENANAeel70Sx9x4
帶頭少年一聽到客家話,當場就懵了!還特地退到街上,再確認一遍有沒有走錯攤。他嘴裡嘀咕:「『嘸毋對啊』(沒有錯啊),確定是『大輪車烤鴨舖』,是安怎會換作客家人在這顧攤?」219Please respect copyright.PENANAQRIwtr8S6y
219Please respect copyright.PENANA6q1LyGr8gD
不過少年才懶得管那麼多,因為後面還有其他攤販等著對付,不想在第一家耗太久,於是按慣例,直接向他們索要這個月的規費!219Please respect copyright.PENANAvcKE4W9G4R
219Please respect copyright.PENANAB1XkPSqeSy
可少年話還沒說完,一個小跟班就湊到花子身旁,用輕蔑的眼神上下打量,還頻頻出手騷擾!羅排見狀,趕緊把花子拉過來身後,以迴避他們無禮的調戲!219Please respect copyright.PENANA1JB0QcGr1K
219Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Pv6Ug8E9
以往這些地痞、流氓,都是蔡蓉在應付;按廟口規矩,交錢就能了事,彼此也就圖個和氣生財。219Please respect copyright.PENANACIua1hh9sO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAHNYA12n8bG
可偏偏蔡蓉告假不在,而羅排又沒有應對這類社會事的經驗;他看對方不過是群小屁孩,加上花子還在一旁看著,說什麼也不能讓自己漏氣!219Please respect copyright.PENANAAb7wZBgjHQ
219Please respect copyright.PENANARPKrfLK69K
雙方幾番推嚷之後,雄性激素爆棚的羅排,竟模仿起浩克上回挑釁稽查員的強硬姿態,透過花子翻譯,堅決表示:「我們分文不交,半步不讓!」
