正當兩人轉身要走，水哥又叫住他們，硬是疊了一包捆了好幾層的袋子、壓在原本的紙箱上。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRHz2BW2og
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHenZsU1mOU
「招待的龍蝦！正式的那一批再跟你收錢。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ERjcjqE39
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNwyZH3HbZ
水哥嘴裡還是刁著菸，視角瞟了孟瑤函一眼。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRCnOouqWN
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa7n8ROEew
「給妹子當見面禮，好好照顧人家。不要讓好女孩，總是看不上我們鯨鰭灣。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnDL6PLCHA
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsllSK3AS8j
話中有話。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWDUV55xBd
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WBMW4sPZx
「別說得我好像虐待她。謝謝招待，東西我幫她收下便是。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSufRaAbZyY
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AtpWROilv
水哥笑開，「今天沒跟你喝幾杯，就得放你走，太不甘願了！」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnBoAiLM96
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrzizBz9pr
「以後有的是機會。」侯邦彥立刻婉拒，「我要騎車，何況還載著她。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslp0S0DWWe
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFV34B7XaU
「也是，車後座的女生，男人得負責，今天先饒你。」水哥眨眨眼。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLkOuM8Wf4
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy9Zq8hm9P
孟瑤函跨上機車，離去前，對水哥揮揮手道別。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu0SR1erPH
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63hoFDE0Is
「抓好！天上雲很厚，有可能會下雨，我要加速騎。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqa2oJLpOF
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz8DOpyRnu
「喔。」後方置物架全滿，她只能扶著侯邦彥的腰。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdF0U8jTfL
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFftDNGSKAj
侯邦彥用力踩踏油門，野狼一聲長吼，排氣管冒出些白煙，兩人的身影逐漸消失在下一個彎道。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xs1RcedFA
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVrZR58eyi
水哥望著他們，微笑，用力吸了一口菸，把菸灰往旁邊一撢。
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy84RWfdNd1
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATy3fxKRaY
回到六絃，兩人的晚餐出奇簡陋，僅僅是泡麵，什麼配料都沒加。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx1kAgKvCd
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZuhCOcsI3
但阿逃的晚飯依舊豐盛，是一大碗手撕雞胸肉加紅蘿蔔丁泡飯。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSyo93chM7
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrGG9Wlpxb
當孟瑤函放下狗碗，阿逃一臉不敢置信，用試探的眼白望著她，不敢開動。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtURx488RH6
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGosCH24Kk
狗食比人食豐盛，這位工讀生是不是送錯餐？121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MMWN0d6sI
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7LHdIsDUp
「欸，你放心吃吧！等一下大叔要教我殺龍蝦，所以今晚的宵夜一定是五星級的！泡麵雖然簡陋但也可口，平衡一下人生唄。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPccswnl1K
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx36AHE5kJ
想到自己至少可以獨佔一隻龍蝦，孟瑤函笑容燦爛，揉了揉阿逃的頭頂。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEizEMz92J
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPVHkBGoJd
她認真地解釋原委後，阿逃確定自己沒誤解指令，就放心開動了。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkZW1Gdqpu
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mvEnYT2pd
但，這世界上總有些事，想像起來很美好；自己經手時，卻完全不是那一回事。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt5XyWlklV
開始處理龍蝦五分鐘後……121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4jTsuHrXm
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVK7PyszDX
「我的媽咪呀，太恐怖了吧！」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnDiIXYO3a
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0jOR2FLRN
孟瑤函帶著厚厚的防護手套，緊緊按住龍蝦，固定在流理台上。她臉色慘白、雙手顫抖，努力把眼淚噙在眼角，不讓它低落。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl74zzdRjX
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3VfYNDDfu
但是侯邦彥還是不滿意，他拿著一支細鋼條，正戳進龍蝦尾部的泄殖腔，那鋼條還要繼續往龍蝦的頭穿刺。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS5SBMBJb1
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDNtIUTwHR
「再用力一點，一定要把龍蝦的身體拉直！現在這個步驟最重要，龍蝦烹飪前，一定要趁活把它的沙腸取出、血尿放乾淨，不然蝦肉留有腥臭，再貴的食材也是白搭。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ftQEh8Me
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGMQyAbDWT
孟瑤函雖然勇敢獨立、但生活技能上還是溫室裡的小花，在家家務都由母親操手。偶而挑個菜蟲、就已經犯嘀咕。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DEcc2tBg3
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyfzpV3Nhy
現在要她眼睜睜地看著大龍蝦被剝奪生命，還是用殘忍的手法。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegMYVUzBsN
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDmAJ1YbHX
在極端壓力下，人們常戲稱『眼前出現跑馬燈』，但孟瑤函的腦子不知怎麼跳到奇怪的畫面，出現的是電影『滿清十大酷刑』中蕩婦騎木馬遊街的一幕……121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI8N7D5oqC
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFCsLsbfth
「這隻龍蝦又不淫蕩，為什麼要用這麼殘忍下流的方法虐殺它？」說完，眼淚也跟著滑下來。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsUc1GhFdr
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RwlsSyh3a
聞言，侯邦彥翻了一個超級大白眼，無奈望向自己挑的幫手。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q1Ows9pLO
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7jwVZnmb0
「雖然滿十八歲，可以觀賞限制級電影，還是要慎選。否則garbage in、garbage out，OK？」想必大叔也猜中她腦海的截圖。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaL9hzgbgx
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1ObWTY8z8
「又不是我選的！失眠的夜晚，就只有後面頻道的老電影能看呀！」孟瑤函聳起肩膀，用肩膀的衣服勉強吸掉淚水。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS8d5BuulF
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICrbPwzrDz
看著手握半死不活的龍蝦，她恨不得在佛祖耶穌阿拉下跪，用力懺悔。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbbtZzbXvX
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMMJivEuL0
所謂『婦人之仁』正是如此，侯邦彥嘆了一口氣。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBluEwokYRg
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Z4Z64mCe
「妳動作再不利索一點，是要害我慢慢戳死它、還是賞它一個痛快？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLVJo5yLrH
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbSgOQVxbm
「好啦，我知道啦。」她很不甘願應聲，用力吸鼻子。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHwwZmBzvF
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiis7n8dCk8
「心腸這麼軟。還是我們只殺這一隻？妳就別吃，都拿回海邊放生？」他故意試探。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y65uzl0d7
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMtcLMKO8g
「不行！」孟瑤函嗓門立刻大起來，態度也瞬間果決。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OUgAutmUy
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH0RmzEb1A
「反正大錯已經鑄成，我有幫忙，我是共犯。我要吃，不准把我那一份A走！」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXA04Rv8KY
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFVNYUrjwK
哭歸哭，DNA裡的吃貨基因，不會因為幾滴眼淚就被洗刷。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaafEhUpLzU
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghyFONkwwR
「呵呵。」侯邦彥從喉頭深處發出冷笑。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9i4daX2Xg
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQSKueIbhb
即使是來意不善的嘲笑，那低沉的嗓，緩緩的震動，撓得孟瑤函的耳根子癢癢。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIsaIXCe4u
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9hlF9Wrpg
但，知道和做到，向來都是兩碼子事。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ250huD5V
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFhAMvkzby
「都叫妳使勁壓了！」孟瑤函的動作還是無法達到要求，侯邦彥嚴厲斥責，有些真動氣。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPKqCYLGZa
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj5YyCWEbm
扭來扭去的龍蝦處理不好、浪費食材不說；萬一操作時他使勁過猛，鋼條戳傷孟瑤函，事情才嚴重。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0KJUAlvD0
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFnIKvXTRA
「我有！但這隻龍蝦實在太大，我摁不住牠。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwEnjikwJt
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHpCIUWx3r
孟瑤函用全身的力氣試圖制伏與死亡搏鬥的龍蝦，滿頭大汗。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTdbKUHcv7
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMhdn9oG8W
「真是的！」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRVDg3RRQi
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYX0F44xa9
眼看孟瑤函Hold不住，侯邦彥往後一個滑步借位、繞到她身後，長臂一攬，左手直接覆蓋在孟瑤函的手背。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSaGm9u85O
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxycpKd8iPq
不理會自己的手緊貼孟瑤函，侯邦彥的掌加強施力，並且同時指導她。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uTHuZ7lSV
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd94WyxjFj
「好好感覺！這樣按著龍蝦的身體，跟砧板之間不能有空隙。透過觸覺，食材的一切妳都能感受到……」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGA5cUS2gG
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx7MLinyt9
他專注在教學上，完全沒注意兩人的身體貼得有多近，但孟瑤函注意到。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7kqTR4QDA
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtxoqtq3VK
心臟跳動的速率，立刻加速，害她原本就在顫抖的手，就更抖。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiHJHxRLly
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHWtf0yxqK
侯邦彥只以為她害怕，把她手握得更緊。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnKmTUsxA8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwafz1k8x04
「當妳與它合而為一，才能真正掌握。我們不是故意要傷害它，所以動作一定要俐落，讓痛苦減到最低。烹飪是一種轉化，過程要心懷感謝與謙卑。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8fFNG83ho
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGP1FnInSo
當侯邦彥低沉的嗓音在耳際緩緩響起，她的後背感受到他身體散發的溫度，說也奇怪，孟瑤函原本慌亂的心情，反而漸漸平靜下來。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGW81WtU47
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb0fBlkr7e
他的手掌覆蓋著她的，溫度透過手套傳給她。緊握鋼纖的那隻手大而有力，手指卻是那麼修長好看……121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ecVb6dCX4
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JjErZmLhD
一瞬間，她有點懵，自己的注意力到底是放在手心的龍蝦？還是手背上的撫觸？121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxY4xvPxPd
回神哪！121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6n48eskCM
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XNqlweyTD
還好，手掌下的龍蝦終於安靜下來。侯邦彥也在她面前示範了挑沙腸、放血的過程。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSfY9Pm5LZ
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4TA66PJS7
處理一隻大龍蝦至少需要十五分鐘。好不容易搞定，孟瑤函卻在此時提出要求。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVpMjotQrS
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7knb6Sybe
「我想自己練習一次完整殺龍蝦、放血的過程。」她鼓起勇氣。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxkWO1lu5Y
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvk3aeoMu3
侯邦彥奇了。「妳不是害怕嗎？」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h9owJGYeU
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq09o5jvO2B
孟瑤函不否認。「可是這是個難得的技能，我這輩子搞不好只有在你身邊時，才學得到。所以我想自己操作看看，如果我做錯，拜託你糾正我！」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPvnSsrSby
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpd9yn2Gq2
看她有心，侯邦彥就挑了最小的龍蝦遞給她，交由她處理。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFwXfM7yq4
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqx5zv7A4o
孟瑤函的手法偶而失準，侯邦彥在旁見狀立刻糾正。她的悟性不差，略微提醒，加上稍早的見習，立刻能把要訣掌握。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTvtwybC5I
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vGsm6I8cR
孟瑤函手裡還緊握龍蝦，放血的過程接近尾聲，侯邦彥望著一臉認真的她，眼神突然有些遙遠。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUjalyNfDN
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZPukVZJXR
「以前，我也跟妳一樣，在家裡從來沒有做過家事，更別說烹飪。出國留學回報家裡我要修餐飲管理，他們都跌破眼鏡。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXSP3tuBG
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvwMy5GqPI
侯邦彥很少主動談起家人。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWsQHTfmv8
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3YsODNDI6
「你的廚藝超讚的！回國後有做給家人吃嗎？他們一定會以你的廚藝為榮！」孟瑤函一臉天真。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nK9VP31bt
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3wdmSYGas
侯邦彥只能苦笑。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfaWoHT0Ij
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vfVMJkEhz
「我家送我去留學，歐美名校聯盟的文憑，是基本門檻。他們希望我至少拿到大企業管理階層的資格、或是結交名流，讓家族地位晉升。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeF6LqakU9
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAZjlw9FUe
孟瑤函注意到他臉上表情的微妙變化。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa46qDeVWCE
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIUTmuMlak
「烹飪這種事，對老一輩來說，是下人的工作，難登大雅之堂。高中時我只是偷學吉他，被我爸發現，立刻把吉他摔爛，丟進垃圾車。我從英國回來，帶回這個廚藝資格，他們只覺得丟臉。」121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLK8UyAyZE
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpEcN38twq
「啊？」她完全沒猜到是這種結局。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUggu9tC1T
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJuxPeOcNt
大家族的壓力，這話題對孟瑤函來說太沉重。她不知道該如何回應侯邦彥，只能繼續完成手上的事。121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDr4GSgyff
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg4EQPLWH2
而侯邦彥，除了指導她操作烹飪，再也沒有提及其他事。
