下午時,店裡只有一名點湯麵的客人,外帶的單子卻已經接到手軟,身旁的店長喋喋不休地在煩惱要進幾罐蜂蜜檸檬、幾箱菠蘿,讓我不時望向玻璃門外難得回暖的陽光。227Please respect copyright.PENANAkoPaFUzIxl

影子裡,走進一個女孩子,綠色襪子、桃紅色髮箍,抬起蒼白的臉看向菜單,失焦的眼睛顯得有些迷惑。送走了Uber與foodpanda,我才有空招呼她。227Please respect copyright.PENANAaNZ7H8r9qY

「內用外帶?」我說。227Please respect copyright.PENANAxdeAtEa5HK
227Please respect copyright.PENANA2L7JaLmKQt
她指了桌子,說:「豬腳飯。」227Please respect copyright.PENANADUTGav3DoU
227Please respect copyright.PENANAPq9EmTnBEk
「豬腳飯?豬腳飯在隔壁喔。」227Please respect copyright.PENANACJ6d8XhkoB
227Please respect copyright.PENANAnvRgnf0XLS
「啊?」她四下望了一圈,「那……你們最貴的是什麼?」227Please respect copyright.PENANA7ArSpGCWGk
227Please respect copyright.PENANAZtS8sxTn7K
「是『馬來椰漿飯咖哩雙拼』,兩百五十元。」227Please respect copyright.PENANAPSjI73iNJg
227Please respect copyright.PENANAvxWpNkQNxs
「好,就點那個。」她立刻拿出皮包掏錢。227Please respect copyright.PENANAhXf9HbKTBN
227Please respect copyright.PENANAyQhNBGHy5t
我按開收銀機,「內用要加一成服務費喔,可以嗎?」227Please respect copyright.PENANAQZDwAKOKtM
227Please respect copyright.PENANAyWxKmMWyZo
「啊?那我外……」她的臉一皺,顯得有些嚇人,「……可以,當然可以,我又不是花不起,飲料我也喝得起,我要那個。」她往牆上一指,是加十五元就有一杯的蜂蜜檸檬。227Please respect copyright.PENANAcmckWhWmLQ
227Please respect copyright.PENANAPH4gBQrCUj
我收錢,找錢。她緩緩找了位子坐下。我先倒了杯水,再送上飲料,廚房的人都在忙,我自己拿了個竹編盤,墊上牛皮餐紙,塑膠膜的一面向上,盛一碗椰漿飯扣下,放上黃瓜條,淋上咖哩醬汁,夾入雞腿和牛肉,一匙炒花生,一匙炒小魚,半個白煮蛋淋上辣醬,沒有兩分鐘就端餐上桌。227Please respect copyright.PENANAj6FsMw7q5K

「……」她沒有動餐具,只是瞪著桌面直瞧,臉色愈來愈難看,突然五官緊皺,眼睛一紅,哇一聲,大大小小的淚珠溢出來,「怎、怎麼連個碗都捨不得用啊?難道我不配嗎?你們每個人就真的那麼看不起我嗎!啊?啊!啊──!哇啊啊啊啊啊啊!……」227Please respect copyright.PENANASwUJIQmqLD

我和店長解釋了半天,連點湯麵的客人也忍不住插嘴談民俗、講設計,愈扯愈遠,換了大盤子、換了大碗也沒用,直到端出免費招待的冰火菠蘿油,她才逐漸消停。227Please respect copyright.PENANAif8Jo6c6Dc
