Chapter 327

The carriage moves slowly, stops twice in the middle, and someone specially gets on the car to check Xia Yi's luggage. Xia Yi knows that it's going to enter the palace.

After entering the palace, he walked for a long time and was checked twice.

Xia Yi is lucky that she just brought some clothes to change and didn't bring the set of knives that Xiao Linmu made for her. According to this posture, it's estimated that she can't bring them in anyway.

"Miss Xia Yi, here we are."

The carriage stops again to meet Xia Yi's bodyguard.

Jumping down from the carriage, Xia Yi looks up and sees an old wooden sign. The handwriting on the sign is not very clear, but it can also be seen clearly.

"Tang Yuan?"

This place doesn't look like a cooking place. It looks like a garden that has been abandoned for a long time.

Just want to ask the bodyguard is not the wrong place, the bodyguard has turned the carriage away.

Left and right, there are high walls. I don't know which side to go.

It's not safe to intrude in this deep palace compound.

Xia Yi thought about it and knocked on the door of Tang yuan first.

As soon as the door knocked twice, it was opened and a little eunuch ran out of the door.

The little eunuch ran to Xia Yi in a hurry and bent to the bottom. Xia Yi was extremely respectful. "Miss Xia Yi, you are here. Please come in. I have cleaned the yard."

"This garden is for me?"

"Yes, Miss Xia Yi, please tell me if you need anything. My name is Xiao Anzi." The little eunuch replied.

This arrangement always makes Xia Yi feel strange.

"I'm the only one in the yard?" Xia Yi asks again.

"Well, Miss Xia Yi."

More strange

"If I remember correctly, I'm here for the meal contest... Right?" Xia Yi asked uncertainly.

Xiao Anzi was still nodding and bowing, and carefully replied, "if you go back to Xia Yi, yes. The meal competition will officially start in two days. You will live here first in these two days. "

"What about the others?"

Since it is open to folk cooks, it is impossible for Xia Yi to be the only one to participate.

It is said that in addition to Xia Yi, there are also five cooks who come from the major restaurants in the capital. According to the truth, it is time to arrive.

Xiao Anzi shook his head and said, "if you go back to Xia Yi, I don't know. I should live nearby. Miss, this residence is specially arranged for you by Mr. Dou. "

Seeing that Xia Yimian was confused, Xiao Anzi explained, "you must have seen it. It's the edict that Duke Dou went out of the palace to announce."

Summer is clear.

"Are you also sent by Duke Dou?"

"Yes, it's up to me to take care of Miss Xia Yi's food and daily life these days. If you need anything, just tell her."

"Come on, go in."

Although Xiao Anzi was not very old, he was smart.

Xia Yi just a step, he immediately followed up, "I help the girl take the burden."

Xia Yi toward him with a smile, "no, it's not heavy."

Xiao Anzi quietly took back her hand and followed Xia Yi quietly.

Tangyuan is not big, but it is also much bigger than the new courtyard bought by Xia Yigang.

Although it was summer, there was no green in the whole yard, and the sun was hanging in the air. A gust of wind came, carrying some sand and heat, and the taste was not good.

Xia Yi can't help squinting.

The yard seems to have been really deserted for some time.

"Duke Dou said that his ability can only be up to this point, and I hope the girl won't give up." Little Anzi said something sorry.

Xia Yi reaches for her skirt, strides over the high threshold, shakes off the ash on the skirt, and says, "no harm, thank Mr. dou for me."

She still dare not easily put down her guard.

As a matter of fact, she has seen Dou Gonggong twice, and they are not even friendly.

So why did Duke Dou go to so much trouble to help her?

Xia Yi really can't figure it out.

Xiao Anzi led Xia Yi to one of the rooms and said, "this is the girl's bedroom. I live next door to you. If you have any orders, please call me at any time. You should have a rest here for a while, and I'll prepare some food for you."

Xia Yi gently nodded, "thank you, little father-in-law."

Push the door in, the scene in the room is to let Xia Yi slightly surprised.

The room was cleaned clean and tidy, and there were all kinds of things. The inside bed and the outside space were separated by a wooden screen.

The space inside the screen is not too small, and there is a pink veil hanging on a wide bed.

Incense is burning in the censer above the short table at the head of the bed. It tastes fresh and pleasant. It can even feel the coolness. After being steamed by the hot wind, the irritability will be dispelled instantly.

Xia Yi turns on the censer and checks it, then makes a few rounds in the house, and finds nothing wrong.

Xia Yi climbed up to the window to check the doors and windows. Behind the back window, it seems that there is another yard full of crabapple trees, but there are some weeds under the crabapple trees, which are not often taken care of.

Looking from the window to the courtyard, the doors are all closed, and it's hard to see if anyone lives in them. Xia Yi just wants to jump over and have a look, when she suddenly hears a knock outside the door.

Xia Yi immediately jumped down from the window, because of the action range is too large, carelessly will bedside stool to bring down, make a dull sound.

Outside the door immediately came the voice of Xiao Anzi, "girl, what can I do for you?"

"Nothing."

Xia Yi lifts up the stool, straightens the clothes, and then opens the door.

Xiao Anzi has a wooden tray. The dishes on the tray don't look very delicate. They are just ordinary home dishes, but the color is pretty good.

"You did it?" Xia Yi slightly picks eyebrow to ask a way.

Xiaoanzi embarrassed way: "yes, xiaoanzi do not do well, also please don't dislike the girl."

"It looks good." Xia Yi takes over the tray with a smile in her eyes.

"Girls don't dislike it." Xiao Anzi felt his head and said that he knew that Xia Yi came to the palace to take part in the meal competition. If he could take part in such a competition, Xia Yi's cooking skills would surely be top-notch in the capital.

Xia Yi shakes her head and says, "thank you."

Xiao Anzi cuts vegetables of different sizes. He should be a green hand in cooking, but the rare taste is OK.

After about half an hour, Xiao Anzi knocked on Xia Yi's door again.

Xia Yi tidies up the tray and sends it out. Seeing that the food in the bowl is basically finished by Xia Yi, Xiao Anzi's face is full of surprises.

Xia Yi asked, "do you have any plans for the afternoon?"

Xiao Anzi immediately replied, "well, you wait for me first. I'll take you to the imperial kitchen when I put these in the kitchen."

"Good." Xia Yi nodded.
