Li Mumu had obviously thought of this a long time ago.

  Besides, Li Mumu is in the food business, and the saint loves the fresh dishes made by Li Mumu.

  It was inevitable to present the food to the palace. With Li Mumu's wisdom, she must have thought of this a long time ago, and would have thought of ways to deal with it before it happened, so as to avoid being in a panic and having no time to think of a solution when the time really came.

  In addition to being busy with military affairs, Gu Shangqing would also make some plans in advance in his spare time.

  In these aspects, he may not have thought as thoroughly as Li Mumu.

  But as long as he can think of it, he will think of ways to deal with it.

  "What do you think? Why don't we go directly to the palace and do it in front of everyone? As for the materials, we can use those from the palace. Is that okay?" Gu Shangqing suggested.

  Li Mumu nodded, "I have also thought of this method, or I can directly present the recipe to the palace."

  "However, there will be many new foods in the future. It is not realistic to submit the recipe to the palace as soon as there is a new food." Li Mumu said, "It is safer to use the method you mentioned."

  "I will go to the East Palace tomorrow to discuss this matter with the Crown Princess and see how to propose it to the Saint." Li Mumu said.

  It must be approved by the saint.

  If you want the saint to agree, you must first tell the saint.

  But you can't just go in front of the saint casually.

  If the saint does not summon you, how can you meet him at will?

  Gu Shangqing nodded, and the two of them went into the hall.

  "You just came back. Can you have dinner now?" Li Mumu asked.

  "The Saint kept some for himself, but how could we really eat as much as we wanted in front of him? We had to be cautious, so we didn't eat much." Gu Shangqing lowered his voice and said, "Besides, the food in the palace is really not as good as the food at home."

  In the past, there were not so many servants in the house, and Li Mumu worked together with the cook.

  Most of the time, it was Li Mumu who taught the cook how to cook.

  Although Li Mumu didn't do it herself, with Li Mumu's guidance, the cook could do it almost well.

  However, even if the recipe is the same and it is made exactly as it is, the taste will be quite different when cooked by different people.

  There is still some difference between what the cook at home makes and what Li Mumu makes.

  There are more servants in the house now, and there is also a cook in the kitchen.

  The cook followed Li Mumu's instructions.

  The ones made according to the recipe instructions are slightly different from those made by the cook, but neither is as good as Li Mumu's.

  But even so, Gu Shangqing felt it tasted better than the food in the palace.

  The cooking skills of the imperial chefs in the palace are naturally impeccable, and the food they cook is exquisite and beautiful.

  What is presented to the saint is naturally fresh and hot.

  Even though it went through multiple procedures, had to be tested for poison by eunuchs, and had been eaten before being given to the saint, the dish was still served warm.

  But compared with the delicacies from big restaurants and home-cooked dishes, Gu Shangqing still prefers the taste of home.

  "Then have some more. My eldest and second sister-in-law haven't had time for dinner yet." Li Mumu said. She was the only one who was full.

  Gu Shangqing nodded, and the cook brought the dishes. Since they had just eaten barbecue not long ago, they did not eat again tonight.

  Just at this time, Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei also came back.

  The two of them were able to use some of the food at Gu's snack bar, but they were not very confident in using it and had to go help after eating just a little.

  I ate a little more after I came back, but it was so intermittent that I always felt hungry.

  So I used some of them as well.

  "Thank you for your hard work today, elder brother and sister-in-law, and second brother and sister-in-law." Li Mumu said.

  "Although I am tired, I am satisfied." Gu Shangyong said with a smile, "On weekdays we are always idle and have nothing to do, and we feel uneasy. It's a rare opportunity to be busy again. I feel that it's good to have a place where I can be useful."

  Gu Shangwei nodded, "Besides, it's only because we've launched new dishes today that we're so busy. Let's see how things go tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Once things stabilize, we'll have some free time again."

  Wang Cuizhen said, "It's the same with Caiping and I."

  Gu Shangyong spread the hot sauce prepared by Li Mumu on the steamed bun.

  He likes to eat it this way, and he can just chew two steamed buns without any side dishes.

  Gu Shangyong took a bite of the steamed bun with hot sauce and said, "I have discussed with Shangwei and Youkang. After the Gu family snacks have settled down after a few days, we will set off to other families and arrange for barbecue skewers and fruit tea."

  Every time Gu's snacks have new ones, they are naturally released first in Beijing where they are located.

  But it will be promoted nationwide soon.

  This requires Gu Shangyong, Gu Shangwei and Li Youkang to go to various places for training and introduce these new products.

  At that time, the chef of Wangyou Xiaoxi will also be invited to go to Gujia Snacks to learn, so that Wangyou Xiaoxi can also serve these new foods.

"That trip, my little brother and seventh brother will have to work hard again." Li Mumu said.

  Gu Shangwei shook his head and smiled, "Just like what Big Brother said, we are happy when we have something to do. Otherwise, we will feel useless if we are idle all the time."

  Li Youkang has also sent his father and mother back home.

  However, this time, Li Youkang secretly found Li Youcai and promised to secretly give him another one or two taels of silver every month.

  Tell him to keep an eye on Mr. and Mrs. Li.

  If Mr. and Mrs. Li were the same as before, if someone came to them to frame Li Mumu, they would come if they were given some money, and then Li Youcai would not get any money.

  But if Li Youcai can take good care of Li's father and mother, he will give Li Youcai money every month.

  If Li Youcai wants to get more money, he should look to Li's father and mother.

  Li Youkang saw that Li Youcai was a greedy person, so he gave the money to Li's father and mother. Naturally, Li's father and mother would keep most of it and only give a little to Li Youcai.

  They are saving it for giving to Li Youcai in the future, but Li Youcai can't get it now, so he will not be satisfied.

  But Li Youkang's proposal was different. He actually wanted to secretly give all the money to Li Youcai.

  Moreover, while Li Youcai gets the money, his father and mother will also get a lot of money, and they will give him another part.

  No matter how Li Youcai thinks, it is more profitable to cooperate with Li Youkang.

  As for Mr. and Mrs. Li not being able to get more benefits from others, what does it have to do with him?

  Every time before, Li's father and mother collaborated with others to frame Li Mumu, they never really got the money back.

  It's all in vain anyway.

  Even if they could really get the money, they would not give it to Li Youcai. They would only say that they were saving it for Li Youcai, and when they passed away in the future, all of it would belong to Li Youcai.

  But Li Youcai thought that they didn't know when they would die. Anyway, they looked very healthy and lively now.

  When they die, they will give him the money. It is still uncertain whether his health will be good by then.

  To put it bluntly, he may not even live longer than Mr. and Mrs. Li.

  So Li Youkang didn't care about the future and wanted to get the money in front of him first, so he happily agreed to Li Youkang.

  Li Youkang also warned Li Youcai that if he failed to take care of Li's father and mother, he would never get the money again if he failed to do so even once.

  This made Li Youcai tense up and nod.
