Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

After adding the slurry made from ground gypsum powder to the soy milk, wait about 15 minutes for the tofu pudding to begin to form.

"You can add sugar or make a sauce to your tofu pudding. Different ingredients will result in very different flavors." Li Xingyu actually eats all kinds of tofu pudding. As long as she thinks it tastes good, that's fine with her. So the "sweet vs. savory" debate is meaningless to her. As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters.

"Okay, here's white sugar and honey, and here's the sauce I just prepared. You can put it in the tofu pudding and try different flavors~" Li Xingyu explained to everyone while holding a bowl of tofu pudding with two spoonfuls of amber honey.

"Also, we can't eat too many soy products, otherwise our bodies won't be able to process and digest them properly, and we still have dinner tonight." Li Xingyu took a couple of bites of tofu pudding before remembering that soy products shouldn't be eaten in large quantities. She quickly swallowed the smooth and sweet tofu pudding in her mouth and reminded everyone who was putting tofu pudding into their mouths.

Because soy products contain substances that require a long time to digest and absorb, eating too much at once can lead to indigestion and potentially cause illness.

Although I don't know if interstellar travel has any restrictions on the amount of food we can eat, and I know that there are now technologies to cure most diseases, it's always better to avoid getting sick. Being sick is so uncomfortable, there's no need to get sick. It's always good to take care of yourself.

Upon hearing Li Xingyu's words, the members of the Li family paused for a moment while stuffing tofu pudding into their mouths, but then continued stuffing it in without changing their expressions. It was alright; they were of high rank and had the right to be capricious.

After everyone except Li Xingyu had eaten nearly two bowls of tofu pudding, they started packing up the tofu pudding and savory sauces, since they still had some sugar and honey in their storage space.

After all, hypoglycemia also exists in interstellar space. It is mainly caused by excessive energy consumption without timely replenishment, extremely irregular work and rest, etc. They are aware of their own bodies and generally keep some high-calorie food in their storage space. After all, a person can die, but not social death.

Even now, there are still jokes and blunders caused by low blood sugar on the StarNet every day, so they still have some sense of shame.

Li Xingyu and the others divided out nearly half of the tofu pudding, still using the time-stop device. Up to now, making tofu doesn't actually take very long; they spent most of their time dividing it into portions.

The next step is to wet the prepared clean cloth with water, then place the widest side of the tofu rack on the prepared stool, and then place the rectangular frame on top.

They had already installed a water-absorbing device in a corner of the kitchen so that the floor wouldn't be wet everywhere, and cleaning would be much easier.

"Okay, now stir the tofu curd in the bucket a little to break it up a bit, so it will be easier to press the tofu." Li Xingyu instructed Rice, Xinghe, and Hu Yu, who were holding large soup ladles, to stir the tofu curd in the bucket.

“Yes, that’s it. Then the others should lay the wet white cloth inside the frame. Remember to align the four corners of the cloth with the four sides of the frame so it will be easier to lift it later.” Li Xingyu didn’t let the others just watch and told them to lay the cloth to line the tofu.

"Alright, you can scoop the tofu curd from the bucket into the tofu rack now. Be careful not to spill the water everywhere. Even with a water-absorbing device, it shouldn't be too messy." Li Xingyu continued to direct the tofu-making process.

The white cloths that Xinghe and the others prepared were the kind that were relatively breathable and had slightly larger gaps. Of course, this was also because Li Xingyu specifically reminded them, otherwise, if the equipment had been waterproof...

How embarrassing.

"Okay, this is the second to last step. Watch my movements. Pull each corner inward to slightly fix the shape of the tofu, like this." Li Xingyu walked to the slab of tofu that was placed in the middle and demonstrated to everyone.

Xinghe and the others prepared a lot of soybeans. When Li Xingyu saw so many soybeans and far from enough tofu racks, she had already made a plan. She packed a lot of soy milk and tofu pudding, and now these few tofu racks were just enough.

"Wow, you've all done a great job!" Li Xingyu tucked the cloth away and then went to watch the others work. Seeing the few people skillfully tucking the white cloth in, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Then just put the cover board in place, and then put something with a little weight on top of it, ha~ about five kilograms is fine, not too heavy and not too light, and then you can leave it to time." Li Xingyu yawned, becoming lazy all over.

"It's 16:48 PM now, plenty of time. We don't need the time accelerator. Anyway, we won't be eating that soon, so let's leave them here. We'll have a tofu feast tonight, so we can look forward to it." Li Xingyu glanced at the time and found it to be a good time. Everyone could go out and have some fun for a while, and then they could start preparing dinner.

Everyone stared expectantly at the tofu still being drained in the kitchen, swallowing hard in unison. Their thoughts were all in unison: 'Little Feather/Little Star said it was dinner to look forward to; it must taste amazing! Can't wait!'

After Li Xingyu finished speaking, she walked out of the kitchen. Although she hadn't done any physical work that afternoon, she had used her brain a lot. She was tired, so she decided to lie down on the sofa and think about what to cook for dinner.

Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue glanced at the tofu, then at Li Xingyu's retreating figure, and decided to go have some tea and rest. They were already looking forward to the evening.

After glancing at the tofu, everyone chose to go to the living room to rest. There was nothing they could do staying there: the robot was almost done cleaning, so they didn't need to do anything; and watching the tofu while it was ready wouldn't make it jump into their mouths, but would only make them feel hungry faster, so they decided to wait outside.

While everyone was still pondering their decision, when they arrived at the living room, Li Xingyu had already brewed a pot of tea. She was slowly sipping it with one hand while constantly operating her personal computer screen with the other.

"Phew~ Little Feather's tea-making skills have improved again. Is today's tea Biluochun?" Qin Fengshi poured himself a cup of tea and then poured one for everyone else. He was the first to go to Li Xingyu's side because he saw what was being displayed on Li Xingyu's computer screen.

"Drinking Alone Under the Moon," "The Song of the Pipa," "Ode to the Epang Palace," "Bamboo and Rock," "A Young China," "Snow on the River," "Slowly, Slowly"...

These were all names that Qin Fengshi had already memorized, but they were in audio format. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he could only take a sip of tea to calm down.

"Ah~ Grandpa... I brewed... jasmine tea." Li Xingyu stopped operating the computer, glanced at Qin Fengshi with concern, then looked at the ceramic teapot on the coffee table. Her nose twitched twice, and she spoke hesitantly, pausing twice before finishing her sentence.

Almost everyone else went to the living room, found a seat, and listened to every word of Li Xingyu and Qin Fengshi's conversation.

"Pfft~ cough cough cough..." "Cough..." "Ha..."

Immediately, the living room was filled with sounds of people trying to suppress their laughter.

The fragrance of jasmine is so delicate yet undeniably permeates the air of the living room that anyone who has smelled it would recognize it as such.

Qin Feng was so overwhelmed with disbelief and surprise that he subconsciously ignored the smell in the air and the taste of the jasmine tea in his mouth.

"Ahem, Little Feather, are these songs you've reconstructed? And they're all based on ancient poems!" Qin Fengshi was incredibly excited as he looked at the now-static interface on Li Xingyu's computer screen.

Li Qingyue sat down next to Qin Fengshi, rubbing her temples helplessly. She found it amusing that he was acting like a child: "Alright, Fengshi, calm down."

"Ahem, sorry, Yue, I got a little excited and couldn't control myself." Qin Fengshi composed himself, still staring intently at Li Xingyu... and her personal computer screen.

"Hmm, if Grandpa wants it, I'll send you a separate copy?" Li Xingyu glanced at his personal computer screen and casually clicked on a song.

"The rising sun shines brightly."

The river flows out and flows into the ocean

A dragon rises from the abyss, its scales and claws flashing.

The young tiger roared in the valley, and all the beasts trembled in fear.

......"

Suddenly, a clear and powerful male voice rang out in the living room, attracting everyone's attention. For a moment, all sounds except for the song that was playing disappeared.

"Youth has its own youthful exuberance"

Body like mountains and rivers, spine straight

Dare to measure the sun and moon again

Today, only I, a young man...

............"

(Lyrics for "Ode to Young China": Liang Qichao and Ershui. Music: Xu Song. Original singer: Zhang Jie.)

His voice became firm and powerful, giving people the feeling of a confident and energetic young man.

The song continued, but everyone felt a surge of emotions and an indescribable feeling, which brought tears to their eyes. Whether it was Li Manzhou and the viewers in the three live streams, they all felt the same way at this moment.

The song "Ode to Young China" is truly awe-inspiring.

The song is over.

"Ah~ it's this song, really..." Li Xingyu listened to the whole song quietly, then leaned back on the sofa, her eyes slightly warm, her voice a little hoarse and with an indescribable feeling.

“This song is very good.” Li Manzhou’s voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but the emotion it contained made those who felt it feel that her words were deafening.

“It’s very good, but it’s only a half-finished product. I look forward to presenting it to everyone in its entirety one day.” Li Xingyu raised one hand, covered her eyes with the back of her hand, and answered Li Manzhou while composing herself.

"This is only a half-finished product! What will the finished product look like?" Li Qingyue's shock was undisguised; she was muttering to herself, but everyone heard her words.

"Little Feather, is there anything we can do to help? We're really looking forward to seeing it all together." Xinghe, sitting next to Li Xingyu, slowly exhaled and pulled Li Xingyu closer to her.

Because of the influence of the Chosen One, even though Li Xingyu is still a minor, Xinghe can still sense some of her emotions.

Li Xingyu's current mood is definitely not good; it can only be described as highly volatile, with sadness, nostalgia, and a sense of loss making up a large proportion of her emotions.

"It's nothing, I just felt a little sad thinking about the origin of this song and their story." Li Xingyu shook her head, put the cup in her hand on the coffee table, turned to the side and buried her head in Xinghe's arms, her ear right next to his chest.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Listening to the strong, powerful heartbeat beside her... and feeling a mix of complex and intense emotions, Li Xingyu couldn't help but nuzzle against Xinghe's chest: "Part of the lyrics to this song comes from Mr. Liang on Blue Star in 1900..."

Li Xingyu did not continue speaking, because this part of history still exists in the compulsory history books. As long as a race has seriously completed 90 years of compulsory education, then this time and this name will not be unfamiliar to them.

…………

The living room fell silent upon hearing Li Xingyu's words.

It's obvious that this location, this time, and this name...

Even though Li Xingyu didn't continue, they all understood why Li Xingyu's feelings were so complicated. Their feelings were even more complicated than Li Xingyu's, and they even felt a bit more empathetic towards her.

"Moreover, the song wasn't finished because of time constraints, and also because the effect I wanted to achieve wasn't something only I could accomplish alone. I need to think about it carefully." Li Xingyu looked up and smiled at Xinghe, her smile radiant, yet upon closer inspection, it also revealed gentleness, resilience, and a sense of relief.

Only Xinghe saw that smile, and he was completely stunned, his mind going blank.

Li Xingyu felt Xinghe's heartbeat skip a beat and then beat faster and faster, the sound so loud it felt like drums were pounding in her ears. The emotions that had been swirling in her mind became even more turbulent after a few moments of stillness, making her feel somewhat dazed.

Subconsciously raising her hand to ruffle Xinghe's soft hair, Li Xingyu slowly moved away from his embrace: "Some of the lyrics to this song are in the book my grandfather gave me. I suddenly remembered it while making tea just now, so I plan to check how many songs and dances related to ancient poems, as well as related films and TV series, etc., I have in my StarNet space."

Li Xingyu's voice was still a little hoarse. She awkwardly picked up the cup that she had just placed on the coffee table, took a sip of the still warm tea, and moistened her slightly dry throat.
