This is not a lie.
It is something that the royal family would eat.
It is also cheap, and ordinary people can also eat the food that the saints and goddesses eat.
It's such a waste to leave such good publicity unused.
But don't use it rashly.
After all, this was in ancient times, and it's not like in modern times where one can just take advantage of the popularity.
If I fail here, I might not be beheaded, but I'm afraid I'll lose my favor.
Li Mumu thought about it and decided to ask Li Zhiyin.
So the prince returned to the East Palace. When Li Zhiyin came to ask the prince, the prince couldn't help but twitch his lips twice.
Li Zhiyin suppressed her laughter and said, "Mumu's point is that the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner will use Gu's snacks' grilled skewers. This is a fact. She is not lying by using this promotion."
"So she asked me to ask His Highness if she can use this selling point as a promotion?" Li Zhiyin asked, "Will it interfere with the Saint and His Highness's business?"
"That's not a problem." The prince pinched his eyes, "Anyway, this matter is no secret in the palace. Everyone in the palace knows that the Gu family's barbecued skewers will be used for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
It's no secret that Li Mumu's skewers are used for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
What was kept secret was which ingredients were needed, what materials were used, and whether Li Mumu brought them into the palace or prepared them herself in the palace.
Because you always have to leak some information to the other party so that they can take action and reveal their true colors.
If the secret is kept too well, how would the other party have the space to act?
"It's this Madam Gu..." the prince said helplessly, "She really has a business mind."
Hasn't even the royal family become her living signboard?
If the royal family eats what the common people can afford, then her shop will be demolished to the ground.
Li Zhiyin smiled and said, "If it doesn't matter, it would be good to let the people know that the royal family also eats the same food as them, and not all delicacies from land and sea as they think."
"There is a feeling..." Li Zhiyin said, "of sharing joy with the people."
"That's good indeed." The prince nodded with a smile, "But I can't agree to this matter on your behalf. I will talk to my father about it tomorrow."
The reason why the prince can sit firmly on the throne of prince is not only because of his close relationship with the sage, but also because the prince never makes decisions on his own and always reports everything to the sage.
This made the sage feel that he was still very important and that the prince had not interfered in his duties.
Even though what the prince did was of great merit, it was also because of the instructions of the saint.
There is no rush for Li Mumu's matter, so the prince does not need to go to the saint immediately.
On the second day, the prince went to court, and after the court session, he told the emperor about Li Mumu's request.
The saint was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and finally said: "This Li family is really willing to take advantage of anyone."
"But it is true that we will use Gu's snacks' grilled skewers for our Mid-Autumn Festival banquet." The prince said, "Although I was speechless when I heard the Crown Princess and I talk about Li Mumu's request yesterday."
"It's not that I'm angry or unwilling, I just think that Li is really bold, as if there is nothing she dares not to think about." The prince said with a smile.
The saint laughed twice and said, "This Li is a brave woman, otherwise she wouldn't have run to the border to rescue her husband."
People like Li Mumu who are affectionate and righteous are what saints admire.
"Go and tell her that I agree." The saint said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. Just make your own decision."
"After all, this concerns father's plan, and I dare not make a decision on my own." The prince lowered his head slightly.
The saint seemed very satisfied that the prince came to him for advice on everything and listened to his opinions. He was in a very good mood at this time. "After Li's publicity is spread out, come back and tell me whether her shop's business has become more prosperous."
The saint still wants to know.
"Yes." The prince smiled.
Li Mumu learned from Li Zhiyin that the saint had agreed, and immediately began to publicize it.
She didn't have anyone handing out flyers.
Customers who come to the shop to eat will inevitably chat for a while.
We would chat with the shopkeeper and the waiter in the same store.
Gujia Snacks and Wangyou Xiaojie used such a natural way of chatting to let the guests know that their barbecue skewers would also be served at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace.
"Is this true?" the guest asked in surprise, "In the palace... those nobles also eat this?"
"How could this be false?" the waiter asked, "We dare not talk about such things. Do you want to die by making up rumors about the royal family?"
"Not only the nobles, but also the saints, the crown princes, the princes, and the queens, all want to eat it!" The shopkeeper came over to join in the fun, smiling and joining in the conversation, "It was designated by the saint that he should taste our skewers at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with the nobles and court officials."
"The saint has always loved our food. He has eaten Gu's fried chicken before and asked people to buy it many times." The waiter said with a smile, "You know this, so it's not surprising that he eats our barbecued skewers."
"If the saint just ate alone, it wouldn't be strange, but to eat skewers at such a large palace banquet is really... I never expected it." The guest said in surprise.
"We dare not speculate on the saint's thoughts. Maybe the saint thinks it tastes good and wants everyone to try it?" The shopkeeper said, "Our saint is always willing to promote good things for everyone to know, right?"
"I didn't expect that the saint would not be disgusted by our skewers. What about chicken feet and pig stomachs? Would the saint and nobles also eat them?" a guest asked curiously.
"We don't know about that." The shopkeeper said, "Maybe the menu will be changed? Anyway, the saint wants to eat our barbecued skewers, but as for what they will eat specifically, we don't know."
"But meat like pork, beef, mutton and chicken must be available," the customer added.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "We dare not guess what the nobles are thinking. But if you ask me, there should be one, that is, not eating those offal that don't sound so good, but meat must be eaten."
The shopkeeper chatted with everyone for a while and then left.
But he went to a room on the second floor.
Li Mumu was in the room. She had just been standing quietly at the stairs and heard the conversation between the shopkeeper, the waiter and the guests.
Seeing the shopkeeper coming up, Li Mumu went up the stairs without being noticed and returned to the room on the second floor.
After the shopkeeper went in, Li Mumu asked, "The one who just kept asking you what kind of skewers the saints and nobles in the palace wanted to eat, is he a regular customer of the store?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "He is not a regular customer, but a new customer who came in the past two days."
The shopkeeper recalled and said, "He came here the day before yesterday and again today. I have only seen him twice."
"He came again today. I thought he enjoyed the meal the day before yesterday and came again today." Although the shopkeeper didn't know the plan, he thought the question asked by the customer was indeed strange.
The other guests' attention was focused on the nobles who also ate kebabs, so that they could eat the same food as the saints and nobles.
