Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Miles' smile faded slightly as he stared intently at Li Xingyu, who was chewing carefully.

Yin Lian and Ling Meng finished up the dishes they were responsible for, and brought their two plates to the kitchen counter, their eyes also fixed on Li Xingyu.

After chewing and swallowing the meat in his mouth, Li Xingyu began to comment under the somewhat nervous expressions of Miles, Yin Lian, and Ling Meng. He first nodded to the three of them in affirmation: "Very good, your initial learning has already yielded good results."

However, the blanching process wasn't handled well in terms of the seasonings and heat control, leaving a slight fishy smell. The meat was also a bit overcooked. The braising time was insufficient; the meat near the bone wasn't fully flavored. Also, too little water was added during braising, resulting in a slightly dry surface.

Yin Lian and the others visibly looked a little disappointed. Li Xingyu put the ribs she was holding on her chopsticks into her mouth, then spat the bones into the bowl. She glanced at the expressions of the three of them, swallowed the ribs in her mouth, and continued what she hadn't finished saying.

“However, you have already learned very well. You just need to practice more. The accumulation of time and the experience gained through continuous practice cannot be made up for by other means. No matter how you evaluate it, it is very good, and I will definitely like it.” Li Xingyu then reached for the next dish with her chopsticks, which was a plate of dry-pot potatoes.

These past few days, Li Xingyu has demonstrated all the basic cooking methods she knows: pan-frying, stir-frying, cooking, deep-frying, steaming, braising, stewing...

It's just that some people have it more often than others. This is related to the ingredients prepared, but more importantly, it depends on what she wants to eat that day.

Tonight's dinner used about half of the cooking methods. Li Xingyu ate and commented, without feeling uncomfortable because of her age or seniority. After all, strictly speaking, she was the best cook here.

If she were to worry about trivial matters, she'd probably have to bring her own food every time she went out in the future. There's no need for that. Besides, the people around her are all open to other people's opinions; they're not stubborn and they won't be intolerant of others, because the overall situation in interstellar space doesn't allow it.

"Alright, you don't need to be so nervous. I think your learning results are very good. The rest just needs time and a thorough understanding. After all, the methods for making many dishes are very similar, with only slight differences in the seasonings." Li Xingyu picked up a piece of food from a plate and tasted it. Seeing the serious expressions on Yin Lian and the others' faces, she placed the chopsticks and the small bowl she was holding on the counter.

"Besides, you've only been learning for less than a week, to be precise, four days. To achieve this is already very impressive. My evaluation is based on my own standards; if it were someone else, the evaluation would be much higher. You can see for yourselves if you don't believe me." As Li Xingyu spoke, she enlarged the previously shrunk bullet screen, showing Yin Lian and the others the comments in her livestream.

Warranty Card Unknown: [Ahhh, why are Princess Xingyu's brothers-in-law such good cooks too? Waaaaah, is this what they call talent?]

At this moment: [Mr. Yinlian and the others are already very good cooks. Princess Xingyu is using her own skill level as the standard. There's definitely no one like her in the interstellar world. I'm sure Princess Xingyu's cooking skills are number one in the interstellar world.]

Wash to the Fourth Power: [Princess Xingyu's cooking skills are undoubtedly the best in the interstellar space~ We're using holographic viewing, but news has leaked from within the Star Network that the taste of the food perceived through holographic data is completely incomplete.]

Creation time modified: [Did Mr. Yinlian and the others really only study for four days? Why are they progressing so quickly? Is it a matter of their levels?]

………………

"See? I told you you've done a great job, don't be so modest." Li Xingyu pointed to the bullet comments floating around the four of them, smiling as she looked at Yin Lian and the other two who had returned to normal.

"Besides our own family, I haven't tasted anyone else's cooking yet. At first, I just had Grandpa and Xinghe and the others help out. I didn't specifically teach them, so I can only use myself as a reference." Li Xingyu explained to Yin Lian and the others what to refer to.

Watching the rapidly scrolling comments in Li Xingyu's live stream, and hearing Li Xingyu's slow and clear explanations, Yin Lian slowly exhaled, "Little Feather is really amazing. She managed to recreate such a complicated recipe. Grandpa and the others are also very impressive. They not only learn quickly but also teach very well."

'Is it complicated?' Li Xingyu looked at the stir-fried dishes on the counter, thought silently for a moment, and then chose to give up thinking: 'Ah~ it's not as complicated as you think. Can we eat now?'

Li Xingyu was quite adept at changing the subject, and this time she succeeded.

"Okay, we've finished cooking all the dishes. Oh, right, there's still some soup. I'll go get it." Lingmeng nodded when she heard Li Xingyu's words, then suddenly remembered that there was still some soup in the casserole, so she turned around to get it.

"What kind of soup are you making today?" Li Xingyu's gaze followed Lingmeng, then she looked curiously at Miles, who was putting vegetables on a tray. Yin Lian went to get the rice, leaving only her and Miles by the kitchen counter.

"Radish and pork bone soup, Huahua likes to drink it." Miles said the name of the dish, and then added the last sentence with a gentle expression.

"...I feel like my stomach, which wasn't full just now, is suddenly not hungry anymore. You really know how to make this, Brother-in-law Miles." Li Xingyu was happy when she heard about the radish and pork bone soup, but then she was choked by the PDA Miles was showing her.

Li Xingyu also likes to drink bone broth, and she decided to drink two big bowls of it later to make up for the hurt she suffered from being flaunted by other couples.

"You guys carry on, I'll go out and wait." Li Xingyu looked at the dishes they had placed on the tray, weighed them in her hand, and then walked towards the kitchen door. These were dishes she couldn't carry.

"Okay, we're coming right now." Lingmeng carried a bowl of soup to the counter.

When Li Xingyu arrived at the restaurant, she found that everyone had arrived, and each person was holding a piece of paper of a different color in their hand, fiddling with it over and over.

"Great-grandmother, grandmother, grandfather, father Lost..." Li Xingyu called out to everyone, and then Qin Fengshi called her to the seat she had just been sitting in.

"Come on, Little Feather, see how well we folded them?" Si Zian saw Li Xingyu walk over, waved the off-white origami in his hand, and his happiness and excitement were clearly visible.

"Wow~ Grandpa Zian's handicraft skills are pretty good too, very beautiful, amazing!" Li Xingyu took the off-white snowflake origami from Si Zian's hand, looked at both sides, and immediately became the leader of the praise group.

"Oh, it's not that amazing. I think Little Feather is more impressive. She can come up with such an exquisite origami design." Si Zian smiled, pursing her lips, speaking modestly, while her heart-shaped tail swayed so much that it almost left a blur.

"Hehe, it's not that amazing. I just saw it in a book and recreated it. We're just as good." Li Xingyu smiled a little embarrassedly. It wasn't her idea; she just learned it and didn't forget it.

In Li Xingyu's memory, the origami classes at school were all about letting them do it on their own. The teachers just made sure they didn't get hurt and didn't specifically teach how to fold a particular object out of paper. This was also to train their hand-eye coordination and thinking skills.

"Then you can have the one in Little Feather's hand, and these are for you too, as a small return gift for the clay figurines." Si Zian pushed a large pile of origami in front of him toward Li Xingyu, his smile innocent, cheerful, and incredibly charming.

"Clay figure?" Delas, who was inside Qin Fengshi, caught the key word, put the black origami in his hand on the table, and turned to look at Li Xingyu, who was sitting between Qin Fengshi and Xifeier.

"Ah, I made these yesterday at noon when I was roasting beggar's chicken, and then I forgot about them after lunch. These belong to Grandpa Deras." Li Xingyu brushed her hair back apologetically, took out all the clay figures of the people present from her storage space, checked their positions, and then began to pass them around.

After handing out the clay figurines, Li Xingyu tidied up the pile of origami in front of her. It was all folded by others and given to her; she had been busy handing out the clay figurines and hadn't had time to tidy it up yet.

Li Xingyu looked at all the origami as she put them into her storage space. These colorful origami included, but were not limited to, fruits, small animals, vehicles, and all sorts of decorations...

After Li Xingyu had almost finished tidying up, Yin Lian and the others brought out the food, followed by two robots that helped carry the dishes.

All the dishes were placed on the table, and the trays were taken back to the kitchen by the robot to be washed. Everyone sat down in their chairs. Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi had their own stools and utensils, since it was a bit difficult for them to eat with chopsticks and bowls like humans.

Haoyue and the others were always there when they ate, and after they finished eating they would go off to do their own thing. However, they all seemed to enjoy staying by Li Xingyu's side, but she didn't feel anything special about it.

The food for Haoyue and the others was served to them by the people sitting next to them. After eating, they would jump into the laps of the people next to them to rest for a while, lick their paws, wash their faces, and brush their fur... It couldn't be more pleasant.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious and joyful. Li Xingyu's family did not follow the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping. After all, they had all received special etiquette training. They would not speak if they had food in their mouths, and there would be no flying of words when they did speak. They did not have any unnecessary concerns.

After dinner, everyone sat down on the sofa in the living room.

In fact, Li Xingyu felt that the distance from the kitchen to the living room sofa was enough to aid digestion, and then sitting for a while before going back to the room would be another form of exercise.

No wonder there aren't many particularly voluptuous women in interstellar space. Li Xingyu suspects it's because there are so few people and the houses are all so big that even if you stay at home, you get enough exercise every day.

The above describes Li Xingyu's feelings as she slowly walked from the dining room to the living room sofa and sat down. Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi all ran to her and lay down in her arms when they saw Li Xingyu sitting on the sofa.

Li Xingyu was happily petting the two cats and Bai Xi, while the projection screen was still playing "Journey to the West," specifically the fifty-fourth episode, the Kingdom of Women.

Seeing the familiar plot, Li Xingyu forgot to pet her cat and became completely engrossed in watching. Although she had watched it many times and even reviewed it in her mind, it still captivated her, especially the beauty of the Queen of the Women's Kingdom. Actress Zhu's face and acting skills were both captivating.

Everyone says that the fifty-fourth of the eighty-one tribulations is the most difficult, and Li Xingyu agrees with their opinion. There are also some people who watch TV dramas with a microscope. They have carefully analyzed Tang Sanzang's small actions and micro-expressions and believe that he has already fallen for the Queen of the Women's Kingdom.

Mandarin ducks swim in pairs, butterflies fly in pairs

Two birds flying together fill the garden with spring colors that are intoxicating.

Quietly ask the holy monk

Daughter is not beautiful

…………

愿 今生 常 相随

Always by your side

(Lyrics for "Daughter's Love": Yang Jie; Music: Xu Jingqing; Original Singer: Wu Jing.)

The projection wall displayed the dignified, beautiful, and gentle Queen of the Women's Kingdom, while the gentle and melodious female vocals of "Daughter's Love" filled the air, creating a truly delightful experience for both the eyes and ears.

The four floating spheres that were originally flying above the living room were now motionless, and the camera was focused on the projection wall.

"As expected of the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, she's really beautiful. But no matter how many times I watch it, as soon as Monkey King appears, all the attention is focused on him, and all the beauties are ignored." Li Xingyu couldn't help but complain as she watched the images on the projection wall switch to other characters.

The others were pulled back from their wandering thoughts by Li Xingyu's voice. Just now, their eyes had been glued to the images displayed on the projection wall, and they had even unconsciously softened their breathing.

"Huh? Little Feather, what did you just say? What Monkey King? And what great beauty?" After receiving the clay figurine from Li Xingyu, Li Xinghua sat down with her. Hearing her words, she was still a little confused and asked directly.

"Ah~ For example, the White Crane Fairy at the very beginning, Chang'e, the Seven Fairies, Tang Sanzang's mother, Gao Cuilan when she subdued Zhu Bajie, and the Apricot Fairy, the village girl who was transformed by the White Bone Demon in the Three Battles with the White Bone Demon... You didn't miss any of them, did you? Hahahaha." Li Xingyu recalled all the actresses who appeared before this, counting them one by one.

Seeing the increasingly confused expressions on everyone's faces, Li Xingyu mercilessly mocked them. Although she hadn't paid much attention while watching the TV series, she had seen other people's lists online, and these actresses were indeed beautiful and had great charisma, so she had a bit of an impression of them.

Even though the names and faces don't match, it doesn't matter, they're all equally good-looking. I remember which episode the others are in, so it's not a big deal.
