Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 139 The 139th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"Seriously, that's why they say you fouled~" Xinghe turned to look at Li Xingyu, who looked bewildered, her voice so soft that only she could hear it, and the blush on her face and ears seemed to be deepening and spreading.

"Hmm?" Li Xingyu felt Xinghe's hand being held tightly, tilted her head, and looked puzzled. She seemed to have just heard Xinghe say something.

Li Xingyu could always hear Xinghe's inner thoughts, which were exactly the same as his own voice, even more distinct in tone and content. Well... bolder, because no matter what, what comes out of one's mouth is thought through by the brain, so although it is not much different from what one thinks, one will still subconsciously restrain oneself a bit.

Ever since she was able to hear Xinghe's inner thoughts, Li Xingyu has been unable to process what Xinghe is saying and what he is thinking. She always has to spend some energy to decipher it, which is a little bit of a hassle for her.

Even at their leisurely pace, Li Xingyu and Xinghe had already arrived in the kitchen.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Everything we prepared is here. Little Feather, take a look?" Xinghe coughed lightly, without letting go of Li Xingyu's hand, and the two stood together by the kitchen counter.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Xinghe, Tianshu and Liyue. You've prepared very well, and there's nothing missing." Li Xingyu didn't let go of Xinghe's hand, first thanking Xinghe and the others for their hard work, and then looking at the items prepared on the cooking table.

Soybeans, water, grinder, filter cloth, tofu rack, large bucket...

"Actually, it wasn't too tiring. Did you rest well, little star?" Tian Shu shook his head a little embarrassedly after hearing Li Xingyu's words, and then received a pat on the head from Li Xingyu.

"Yes, we're happy to be able to help Little Feather, and we're really looking forward to making the food together this afternoon." Li Yue nodded in agreement with Tian Shu, her spirits clearly lifted.

Li Xingyu patted Li Yue's head in the same way, and no longer deliberately avoided the fox ears on Li Yue's head. Then he successfully gained a pink silly fox, the kind with nine tails.

"Let's go call Great-Grandma and the others now, it feels like it's about time." Li Xingyu shook the hand she was holding with Xinghe.

After finishing their meal, Li Manzhou and the others still need to organize the data and submit it to the alliance. Their lunch break shouldn't be too long. Based on their pace, they should be able to rest for about an hour. It's just the right time to call them now.

"Okay." Xinghe looked at Li Xingyu's gentle eyes, estimated the time, nodded, and then led her out of the kitchen.

"Okay." Tian Shu quickly walked a few steps to Li Xingyu's side, took her other hand, and the three of them walked outside together.

"Hmm." Li Yue hadn't quite recovered from the sensation of Li Xingyu rubbing her ears yet, and nodded blankly, slowly following behind Li Xingyu and the other two.

It's estimated that most people resting now have their personal computers on Do Not Disturb mode. The four of them quickly divided the tasks and went to call the others:

Li Xingyu was in charge of calling Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue. The two of them lived in adjacent rooms, which was more convenient for Li Xingyu.

Xinghe was responsible for calling Xifeier, Si Zian, who lived near the living room, and Lost, who lived on the fourth floor;

Tian Shu went to call Ryan, Rice, and Qin Feng;

Li Yue was responsible for calling Delas and Hu Yu.

After the four of them divided up the tasks, they headed to their living quarters on the first floor.

Li Qingyue and Qin Fengshi do not live in the same room; they each have their own separate rooms.

One reason is that there are too many people. Although there is space folding technology, it inevitably looks strange and there are some inconveniences.

Another point is that everyone has different preferences and is suited to different environments, or rather, environments that are suitable for their rest:

For example, Hu Yu, Ryan, Rice, and Xifeier prefer and are more comfortable with a style closer to nature, while Delas and Si Zian prefer a darker environment, and Li Qingyue and Qin Fengshi prefer a more ancient blue planet style of decoration, so it is more convenient for them to live alone.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Grandma? Are you awake?" Li Xingyu stood at the door of Li Qingyue's room and knocked on it. She planned to call Li Qingyue first, and then the two of them would go together to call Li Manzhou.

"Little Feather, I just woke up. Come in first." Li Qingyue's voice rang out in the room, slightly hoarse from just waking up.

Li Xingyu pushed open the door and went inside. She didn't see Li Qingyue in the living room, so it seemed she was still in the bedroom.

When Li Xingyu walked into the living room of Li Qingyue's room, she didn't stand there or think about going to Li Qingyue's bedroom to find her. Instead, she took two cups, poured two cups of warm water, and placed them on the coffee table.

Then Li Xingyu opened the bullet screen and looked at the bullet comments in her live stream. As for the floating ball, she put it in the kitchen.

She ostensibly asked them to help watch the ingredients, but really she just wanted to give her viewers more time to prepare. After all, quite a few people were following along, and she hadn't told them in advance what she was going to do or what to prepare, so they should at least pay attention to those aspects.

"Little Feather, sorry to keep you waiting." Li Qingyue came out of the corridor from the bedroom and immediately saw Li Xingyu sitting on the sofa with a glass of water in her hand. The car drove over to her.

"It hasn't been long, Grandma~ You look like you've rested well. Have some warm water to calm down." Li Xingyu took a small sip of warm water, looked at Li Qingyue walking towards her, and shook her head with a smile.

When Li Qingyue sat down next to her, Li Xingyu pushed another glass of warm water on the coffee table toward her, so that she could drink a couple of sips to moisten her throat.

"Thank you, Little Feather. You're as thoughtful as ever." Li Qingyue took a couple of sips from her cup and then used one hand to ruffle Li Xingyu's hair.

"Grandma, stop touching my head all the time, it'll stunt my growth." Li Xingyu shook her head after Li Qingyue withdrew her hand, her tone feigning complaint.

"Oh my~ Our little feather's hair is so smooth and thick, it feels so good to the touch, Grandma can't control herself at all~" Li Qingyue held the cup in both hands and teased Li Xingyu with a smile.

"Alright, alright, I'll reluctantly let you touch it, but don't be too rough~" Li Xingyu reluctantly allowed Li Qingyue to rub her head.

"Pfft~ Okay, I feel much better now. Let's go call your great-grandmother, otherwise if you sleep too much now, you won't be able to sleep tonight." Li Qingyue couldn't help but chuckle, put the half-finished warm water on the coffee table, rubbed Li Xingyu's head, and stood up to look at Li Xingyu who was looking up at her.

"Okay, let's go then." Li Xingyu put the empty water glass on the coffee table, stood up and followed Li Qingyue toward the door.

"Knock knock knock~"

Stepping out of the room, they saw no one in the hallway. Li Xingyu and Li Qingyue walked to the door of the next room, and Li Qingyue knocked on the door: "Mom~ are you awake?"

"I've been awake for a while now. I just finished getting ready and was about to go check on the kitchen." Li Manzhou's voice grew closer and closer, and then the door opened from the inside, revealing Li Manzhou to Li Qingyue and Li Xingyu.

"Mom, why don't you rest a little longer?" Li Qingyue heard that Li Manzhou's voice was no different from usual, and seeing her clear eyes, she knew that she had woken up a long time ago.

"Great-Grandma, you need to take good care of yourself, or we'll eat all the good food ourselves next time." Li Xingyu saw Li Manzhou's clear eyes and heard her voice, which was not hoarse at all, and threatened her fiercely.

"Oh dear~ Little Feather's threat really hit the nail on the head. Alright, alright, Great-Grandma will listen to Little Feather from now on." Li Manzhou nodded and smiled at Li Qingyue, then looked at Li Xingyu with a sly smile, even pretending to be frightened.

"Hmph, I'll remember that. If something like this happens again, I'll cook a bunch of delicious food and then eat it all for you." Li Xingyu sensed Li Manzhou's indifference and looked fierce (and shrewish).

"Alright, this kind of thing probably won't happen again in the future, Little Feather. You can rest assured, Great-Grandma won't give you that chance." Li Manzhou's expression became a little more serious. This "threat" from their Little Feather was indeed something she could do, but there was nothing she could do, since her cooking was so delicious.

"Let's hurry to the kitchen. Xinghe, Tianshu, and Liyue have already prepared everything we need. We can make a lot and store it for later. We can also make many different kinds of food." Li Xingyu said, pulling one of the arms as they walked towards the kitchen.

Li Qingyue watched Li Manzhou and Li Xingyu with a smile the whole time, without interjecting at all, because her thoughts were the same as Li Xingyu's. She was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Manzhou for not resting properly at her age, but she didn't know how to make her listen, and she had already given up on changing her mind.

Li Qingyue and the others had tried to persuade Li Manzhou many times about her not resting properly, but she relied on her high level of mental strength to act recklessly, leaving them speechless.

Now that Li Xingyu can finally be "controlled" a little, she's overjoyed.

When Li Manzhou, Li Qingyue, and Li Xingyu arrived at the kitchen, they found that only the three of them were missing; everyone else had already arrived.

Lost originally planned to finish some more design drafts, but then he thought that since the design drafts weren't urgent, he might as well take this opportunity to spend more time with his family. So he asked Li Xingyu and Xinghe to invite him along when they were making tofu.

Xinghe and his group prepared a lot of soybeans, and they also made three more grinders. Li Xingyu and his group simply split into groups, and now there are 14 of them in total.

Li Xingyu and Li Manzhou were in charge of the overall situation and were responsible for guiding the others. Their main task was to tell them the basic steps and some precautions, and to supervise the others in order to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.

Li Qingyue was grouped with Ryan, Rice, and Hilfier;

Qin Fengshi, Xinghe, Tian Shu, and Delas form a group;

Fox Yu, Si Zian, Lost, and Li Yue form a group.

One group was responsible for making two slabs of tofu because they only had eight tofu racks.

As Li Xingyu explained the tofu-making steps to everyone, she thought to herself, "Tsk tsk tsk, those two perfectly good blacksmiths have been turned into carpenters by her. It's really a waste. It seems I'll have to have Mom and the others talk to the Alliance another day."

Li Xingyu had already explained the steps and precautions. Looking at the neatly arranged wooden racks on the counter, she realized that she was no longer the same Li Xingyu who was as tall as the counter. At this moment, she was not standing on the floating platform and touched the freshly made tofu rack with her hand.

The tofu rack mainly consists of three parts:

At the very bottom is a single, flat, square wooden pad;

A rectangular frame, 20 centimeters high and with square top and bottom sides, is made of four wooden boards joined together by mortise and tenon joints.

There is a square wooden cover with two handles on one side, which is about ten centimeters shorter than the side of the bottom pad.

The process is not complicated, and there are plenty of tall and vast trees in the interstellar space. Two square planks can be made with just a little cutting and polishing. As for making a rectangular frame from planks, that is even more common.

After Li Xingyu explained the steps, everyone began the enthusiastic preparation: grinding the beans with water into pulp, filtering, and boiling...

When the beans were turned into soy milk, Li Xingyu and the others kept 1/3 of the soy milk, planning to pack it up and put it into their storage space later.

Now, Li Xingyu and the others each have their own dedicated storage space for food, but they don't put all their food in one place, since you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

At least for Li Xingyu, each of her storage spaces contained odds and ends of food and seasonings, all of which were unremarkable and easy to prepare. For example, she had both raw and cooked beef jerky and dumplings, as well as a little bit of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other condiments in each storage space.

Originally, Li Xingyu's storage space was only used to store items of one type, but when she started putting things in it every day, her hoarding nature, which was ingrained in her DNA, suddenly kicked in.

Li Xingyu ordered a large amount of seasonings online and placed them in each of the storage spaces. She even put several portions in the spaces that were empty. As for the other food, it was all leftovers from previous meals.

Besides food and seasonings, Li Xingyu also prepared a lot of kitchen utensils in her storage space: pots, pans, knives, spatulas, chopsticks, spoons...

Although we don't need it now, we might need it someday.

Whatever is in the Li family's kitchen, Li Xingyu's storage space will soon have it too, perhaps even better and in greater quantities.

Although she was somewhat confused as to why she suddenly hoarded these things, Li Xingyu subconsciously followed her own thoughts. Not only were these supplies prepared in her storage space, but the mustard seed space given to her by the main system was also now piled up with a lot of things.
