Chapter 332

Different from yesterday's desolation, there were many people standing in the courtyard of the imperial dining room.

In twos and threes, it's very busy.

Looking at the dress up, it should be the imperial chef who will take part in the meal competition.

At a glance, there were almost hundreds of people.

Xiao Anzi said to Xia Yi, "Miss Xia Yi, go in. I'll wait for you outside the imperial dining room."

Xia Yi waved and said: "don't wait, a few steps away, can I still miss the way back?"

"But..." Xiao Anzi hesitated. Duke Dou told him to take good care of Xia Yi.

"It's so hot that you can wait outside. It's nothing but heat. You'd better go back and boil some mung bean water, don't you think?" Xia Yidao.

"Well, I'll go back and get ready." Xiao Anzi didn't insist any more.

Xia Yi stands in the outer part of the crowd, waiting for the arrival of manager Niu.

As soon as she got to her stop, she saw a man coming from one side.

"Miss Xia Yi, long time no see. I didn't see you yesterday. I thought you didn't come."

Xia Yi said, "long time no see, master Tang. I lived elsewhere yesterday."

Master Tang patted his head and said, "no wonder, I said..."

Master Tang is the chef of yipinju, who was specially hired by manager Yin. He is also familiar with Xia Yi.

At this time, the bustling imperial dining room suddenly quieted down.

Xia Yi stands on the outside and is blocked by the imperial chefs.

Even so, Xia Yi also guessed the situation in front.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard the voice of manager Niu.

"Everyone, are you all here? Everyone gathered here for the meal competition, so I don't waste time talking about it. I just want to repeat the rules of this year's meal competition. "

"The number of participants in this year's meal competition is the highest in all previous years, so great adjustments have been made to the rules of the competition. In order to save time, the first competition will be conducted in groups."

Hearing the word "group", the next person began to whisper.

In previous years, the competition was all on its own. The form of grouping was too novel. The level of chefs was uneven. How to group was also a difficult problem.

"Be quiet."

As soon as the voice of the cattle manager came out, everyone was quiet.

"A total of 130 people participated in the competition, including 124 royal cooks and six cooks from outside the palace. After business discussion, they decided to divide them into 26 groups, with five in each group. Only the top six team members can be promoted. "

"As for the form of grouping, people who draw the same number will be automatically grouped by drawing lots."

There was another uproar when the grouping method came out.

Bold people put forward their own different views, "manager Niu, I'm afraid this way of competition is unfair, isn't it? If there are one or two laggards in a group, it's unfair to the strong people in the group. "

As soon as the words came out, someone immediately echoed them.

"Yes

"Yes

“……”

Manager Niu balked around for a while, then slowly said: "first of all, this competition system is thought by the masters. If anyone thinks that the competition system is unfair, they can choose to withdraw from the competition, or you can tell the masters yourself?"

One sentence choked all the discontent.

After all, none of the masters who supervised the competition dared to offend.

It's a small game, it's a big loss.

"Is there any objection?" Niu general pipeline said, "if you have any objection, you can raise it. If you have no objection, you will start to draw lots."

From front to back, the eunuch took out small paper balls from the box.

Xia Yi stands on the outside. When the eunuch comes to Xia Yi, there are only two small paper balls left in the box.

Xia Yi looks at master Tang, who says, "you come first."

Xia Yi twists one of the small paper balls.

After master Tang took the last small paper ball, he couldn't wait to open it and look at it. Then he stretched out his head to look at the number on the Xiayi paper ball.

"You are eighteen!" Master Tang handed his paper ball to Xia Yi.

On master Tang's paper ball, the number "Eighteen" is written impressively.

He was happy, two moustaches were flying up: "we are a group! It's just that we can take care of each other. Ha ha ha, you said we were just giving in to each other. "

"Good." Xia Yi is also a hook.

It's better to get to know someone who is a stranger. Besides, Xia Yi has eaten the dishes made by master Tang. She is really a good person.

Otherwise, shopkeeper Yin would not spend a lot of money on him. According to shopkeeper he, in order to keep him, shopkeeper Yin would give him a monthly bonus.

People with the same numbers on the paper have already begun to look for their companions.

The yard is full of people walking back and forth, there are many people walking while shouting the number on the paper ball.

The fate of the same group of people is closely related, we all want to know the first time who their teammates are and whether they have the strength to help them advance.

For a moment, the yard was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Tang Shifu also hooked his head and looked ahead. "I don't know where our other three teammates are."

"No hurry, it will come out." Instead of going forward, Xia Yi takes a step back.

Master Tang said, "you are a girl with a big heart."

Xia Yi just shakes her head and doesn't say anything else.

She thought... Their teammates may not expect both of them that much.

After a while, most of them found their teammates.

"Eighteen! Who's number 18! " Xia Yi's teammates also appeared.

Master Tang immediately echoed, "the 18th is here."

A man in his thirties crossed the crowd and came up to master Tang. He looked him over and asked, "are you number 18?"

Master Tang nodded and said, "yes."

The man's eyebrows slightly invisible wrinkled, said: "come with me."

Master Tang quickly beckons to Xia Yi, "Xia Yi, let's go. We've found our teammates."

The man originally walked two steps, heard master Tang's words suddenly stopped, "what do you mean, she is also the 18th?"

The man's tone rose suddenly, which attracted the attention of many people around him.

If you think about it for a moment, you will know what is going on.

"Tut Tut, what evil has this team done? There are two folk cooks. They must be finished."

"Yes, look at that little girl. She's too young to cook."

Of course, many of these imperial chefs have heard of Xia Yi's deeds.

"You can't judge by appearance, don't you know? She is the one who was invited by the king of Jin to cook for the princess of Nanyu. "

"Oh? Is that her

"Yes, Nanyu princess, who can't manage the whole imperial dining room, is full of praise for her food. It's said that hunting has taken her to be her private chef."

Naturally, some of them are not satisfied, "these only show that the taste of the princess of southern regions is strange..."

"Shh... How dare you say that?"

"OK, OK, don't say it. It's not very good. If you lose a group of opponents directly, the chance of promotion is also higher."

"It is..."

These people you a word I a language, speak time also don't cover, the words all fall into the summer Yi three people's ears.

The man's face will be red and green, and his fists are tightly held.
