Chapter 17: Being Bullied (Part II)
Early the next morning, He Lan was woken up by Feng'er, "He ...... Sister, it's time for us to make breakfast. ”
"What time is it?" He Lan stretched and asked, after all, the sky is still dark now.
"Two a little more." Feng'er replied cautiously.
"What time did the deputy head ask us to go yesterday?" He Lan asked with a smile.
"Three watches, but this is ...... than the imperial dining room" Feng'er seemed a little puzzled.
"Feng'er, you seem to have forgotten the cat cave where the mouse took us yesterday? It was the backyard of the Imperial Dining Room, and it was much closer to it than from the main entrance, so it couldn't be delayed. He Lan said with a smile.
"Yes. Feng'er forgot for a while. Feng'er nodded hurriedly.
"However, now that I'm awake, I'm not resting. Let's wash up. He Lan is a person who can't sleep anymore when she wakes up, so she doesn't sleep anymore, but pulls her to find a place to wash her face, but after looking for a long time, she can't find a place to wash her face, except for the empty basin last night, there is no place to wash.
It seems that this is also Huo Sihui's intention, that is, to make her not only untidy, but also miss the time. Thinking of this, He Lan suddenly had a plan in his heart, and then picked up the basin, and then pulled Feng'er and hurriedly ran towards the cat cave.
Luckily, the basin could pass through the cat hole, or she really didn't know if she would have the strength to throw such a high wall.
"Feng'er, I'll go first and take a look, and in a while, you hand me the basin." He Lan said.
"That's, let the slave ...... I'll go first. Feng'er felt that this was a bit inappropriate, He Lan was obviously an imperial chef, if he was seen, would he be regarded as a thief, at that time, He Lan could not justify, after all, this is a cat hole.
"No, if I meet someone and want to ask you, you cowardly will probably be scared and cry a long time ago, after I go in, even if someone asks me, I have a reason to answer. All right. With that, He Lan tucked the placket into his pants, then bent over, knelt down, supported his body with both hands, and then slowly stretched his head inward, then pulled his hand forward, and then slowly climbed in with the hand in front of him, and it took only a small amount of time.
Just when she was just out of the cat hole, she suddenly heard a cat call "meow", and then two cats rushed out, rushing towards her, she was stunned at first, and then hurriedly took out a bag of things and handed it to the two cats, "I know, I occupy your place, but for my future career, I also hope that the two of you will borrow a way, otherwise, I will die." ”
Maybe seeing that it wasn't a mouse, the two cats glanced at each other, then looked at the food in He Lan's hand, ate two bites, and then wagged their tails and left.
He Lan shook his head helplessly, this is really a tiger falling Pingyang being bullied by a cat, and then called, "Feng'er, basin." ”
After hearing this, Feng'er handed over the basin, took the basin, and He Lan asked Feng'er to tie her clothes into her pants like herself and climb in.
Seeing Feng'er come in, He Lan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then came to this backyard, just when she saw a pond, she immediately scooped a basin of water with a basin, and was about to wash her face, when suddenly a voice sounded, "Who trespassed into the backyard of the imperial dining room?" ”
The voice was extremely unfamiliar, something she had never heard before, but the tone was extremely majestic.
"Back to this ......" Feng'er was just about to speak, but He Lan spoke, "I am a new imperial chef, but yesterday I was embarrassed by Deputy Chief Huo, and I was given a resting place where there is no place to wash my face, and I have to go from the main gate, and I will mistakenly make breakfast for today's saint, so I ran in from this cat hole, if I really offend this gentleman, I hope to forgive me." ”
"Hehe," hearing this, the people inside laughed instead, "In that case, you can wash your face, you can't let your imperial chef be unclean, but it's best to pull your shirt out of your pants, otherwise, Huo Sihui can still make you guilty." ”
"Don't worry, sir, I'm not so bullied, and yesterday the rat and centipede were scared away by me." He Lan smiled, then scooped up the water, and then washed her face, because there was no place to brush her teeth in ancient times, so she could only make do, at most she rinsed her mouth.
"Sister He, it's going to be the third watch soon." After washing her face, Feng'er reminded again.
"Sister He? Why don't you call Miss? The voice came out again.
"Sir, don't meddle in your business, okay? As for what I want her to call her, besides, she is not my maid, she is my sister, so I won't let her call me Miss. He Lan was originally grateful to this person, but when she heard this, she immediately became angry, how could such a person talk about others at will.
"Ben...... Am I nosy? The man seemed to hesitate and asked rhetorically.
"Why not, you just need to deal with your own affairs, why bother with a royal chef, or are you also being bullied by Huo Sihui? If that's the case, then show up so I know who's bullying me. He Lan asked repeatedly.
There was no sound in the "......".
"Sister He, don't miss the hour." Feng'er was in a hurry, hurriedly pulled He Lan's clothes, and then pulled her towards the kitchen.
"Lord Wang, Miss He has gone away." Through the window, a man in brown clothes, bowed his head, and said very respectfully.
"Lao Jiu really has a vicious eye, it seems that this Miss He is really a little pepper, even this king can't say anything about her. It seems that Huo Sihui is killing himself. I saw a man with a silver ring on his hand, looking down at the ring as he spoke, "Maybe this is the purpose of Lao Jiu, let her be the insider." ”
"Lord, do you want to tell the emperor?" The brown-clad man asked softly.
"No, this king wants to see how this little pepper solves this problem, Ma Sen, you go and keep an eye on her, and come back and tell this king."
"My subordinates understand."
Entering the kitchen, He Lan was immediately angry, after those people finished their work yesterday, the board was not washed and cleaned up, and even the knife and the board were stained with all kinds of cut vegetables, thinking about it, this was also deliberately arranged by Huo Sihui.
In that case, then I'll show you a show, and it's hard to say whether it's wrong or not. He Lan thought for a while and said, "Feng'er, you go and clean the board, and I'll sharpen the knife." "Fortunately, there was no shortage of whetstones in ancient times, and it was not a waste of time.
"Yes." Feng'er nodded, then walked out with the board, scooped out a basin of water in the pond, and washed it carefully.
It was about the third o'clock, Huo Sihui yawned and came out, he wanted to see He Lan who was embarrassed at this time, but he didn't expect that when he walked in, He Lan was already busy in the kitchen, and he was extremely leisurely.
He rubbed his eyes, almost incredulous, that place was so far from here, where the hell did she come from?
After seeing Huo Sihui, He Lan smiled, "Deputy head of the house, you came just in time, I am trying to make a new dish, because I am afraid that after dedicating it to the emperor, some people will say that the dish is poisonous, why not the deputy head of the house taste it first?" ”
"You seem to have found the wrong person, but the miscellaneous family is the head of the house, how can you be the one who tastes." Huo Sihui retorted.
"That's not right, as far as I know, the deputy head of the house is from the fifth grade level, and the head of the house is at the fifth grade level, could it be that the emperor has promoted the deputy head of the house? Since it has been upgraded, why is it that in the information I read, Deputy Chief Huo's level is still from the fifth grade? Could it be that the emperor has logged in incorrectly? Or is the deputy head of the house hiding that the emperor has promoted himself? He Lan blinked deliberately, and then pretended not to understand.
Huo Sihui was dumbfounded for a while, indeed, his level was not promoted, but he felt that the deputy was not good, so he directly asked people to call himself the head of the house, and because he was used to it, he deliberately said that he was the head of the house, but he couldn't answer this question no matter what, after all, it was wrong to say anything.
Feng'er covered her mouth and laughed, she didn't expect Sister He to be able to say so, it seems that it is really unnecessary for her to worry.
