Me and My Two Bosses' Systems
Chapter 142 The 142th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person
“Of course you can. Grandma, Mom, Dad, Xinghe, Tianshu, and Liyue, please feel free to do as you please. Xiaoyu and I will go over to the table to chat for a bit. If you have any questions or need anything, just call us.” Lost nodded, letting Limanzhou and the others go on their own to explore.
Li Manzhou and the others looked around at the layout of Lost Studio and then walked towards the places that attracted their attention.
Lost then pulled Li Xingyu to the desk: "Come on, let's each draw a draft first."
“Okay.” Li Xingyu nodded and focused on drawing the design.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xingyu finished the last stroke and looked up to see if Lost had finished drawing.
"Whoa!" Li Xingyu leaned back and shrank into the beanbag chair, still quite shaken.
"Grandpa, what are you doing? You scared me!" Li Xingyu patted his chest.
Qin Feng and the others, who had been watching Li Xingyu draw, touched their chins/backs of heads/nose/backs of necks embarrassedly and smiled apologetically at Li Xingyu.
"Ahem, sorry, did you scare us? We were so engrossed in watching that we didn't pay attention to the distance. Here, let me pat your head." Qin Fengshi coughed twice and gently rubbed Li Xingyu's head.
"It's okay, isn't it beautiful?" Li Xingyu asked Qin Fengshi with anticipation as he gently patted her head.
Li Xingyu drew one set of designs for both boys and girls:
The girl's outfit is a suit with a touch of spy elements: a pure white short stand-up collar shirt and a black leather short jacket with metal buttons.
Her lower body consisted of a pair of black leather shorts with a fold-over of about two centimeters at the cuffs, adorned with small gold metal ornaments, and a silver chain-shaped belt.
The socks were black stockings that covered ten centimeters above the knee, and the shoes were a pair of black leather thick-soled high-top boots with silver studs, reaching up to the middle of the calf, and decorated with thin silver chains at the back.
The men's outfits are simpler and more sophisticated than the women's: a navy blue shirt, a black tie with a rectangular silver tie clip in the middle, black trousers resembling combat uniforms, pure black military boots, and a black trench coat with a dark blue inner layer.
"It is indeed quite good-looking. Anyway, it's meant to be worn as everyday clothing, so practicality isn't that important," Qin Fengshi commented, stroking his chin.
Li Xingyu's outfit was inspired by the game she is currently working on building – Miracle Nikki.
Although I keep complaining about how cool it is, I have to admit that its clothes are really good-looking. Each style has some outstanding pieces, and they look amazing when mixed and matched.
Li Xingyu has been immersed in the world of Miracle Nikki lately, and subconsciously referenced some of the outfits in the game, adding her own understanding and innovation to create these two sets of clothes.
"Ha, why are all the lights on? What time is it?" Li Xingyu nodded in agreement when she heard Qin Fengshi's comment. Then she covered her mouth and yawned, only to realize that the lights were on inside. She glanced out the window and saw that it was already dark.
"Hmm... Blue Star time 18:53." Xinghe, who was next to Qin Fengshi, glanced at his personal terminal and said with some surprise, as if he hadn't expected time to pass so quickly.
It felt like I had only seen some of the sketches of clothes that Lost and Li Xingyu had made over the past two days, and watched them draw up designs, and then it was already time for dinner.
"Come on, come on, it's time for dinner! I'll show you my skills today and make a tofu feast with tofu as the main ingredient." Li Xingyu became excited when she heard the specific time.
"Eat, eat, eat. Foodie, I'm here~" Li Xingyu snapped the design drawing to a close, turned off the computer screen, and dragged Qin Fengshi and Xinghe outside.
Qin Fengshi and Xinghe followed Li Xingyu's lead and walked out of the room, their expressions full of doting affection and tenderness. Little Feather was still so full of energy.
Lost finished a little later than Li Xingyu. He had just put down his pen when he heard Li Xingyu call for dinner. He then turned off his personal computer and walked out of the room with everyone else.
There's no harm in exchanging design drawings anytime; he has plenty of time lately anyway. Right now, eating is more important. I wonder what delicious dishes can be made with tofu. Looking forward to it.
The above is a summary of Lost's inner thoughts.
Looking at the tofu that had already been made in the kitchen, everyone except Li Xingyu looked on in amazement. How could soybeans become so smooth and delicate after going through several processes? It's amazing.
Soy milk and tofu pudding are delicious, and they're incredibly easy to make. Soybeans are truly a wonderful thing.
The above reflects the thoughts of everyone, including all the viewers in the ongoing live stream.
When Li Xingyu and the others were drawing the design sketches, they did not turn off the live stream. They just blurred out the basic sample garments in the studio. Life always needs some surprises, doesn't it?
They are not worried about copyright, plagiarism or theft issues. The Li Group's public relations department and legal team are not just for show. Moreover, the copyright of everything produced in the form of live streaming has been automatically registered to the person who displays it.
This is a rule that everyone knows. If someone is not very bright or has not been educated and has any inappropriate ideas, they will be subject to legal sanctions. However, if the streamer clearly states that it can be used for private and commercial purposes, then there will be no problem.
"Hmm... let me think about what dishes to make? It's getting a bit late, so let's make something simple and easy. We can make some other kinds tomorrow." Li Xingyu held a kitchen knife in her hand, cutting a large block of tofu into roughly equal-sized rectangular pieces while thinking about what dishes to make tonight.
Others were also cutting the tofu in the same way as Li Xingyu, while everyone listened intently to Li Xingyu's mutterings.
When Li Xingyu is thinking about things she feels she doesn't need to hide, she subconsciously mutters the questions, directions, and possibilities to herself, creating a sense of self-questioning and self-answering.
Hearing Li Xingyu's mutterings to himself, the Li family members and Tian Shu were aware of some of Li Xingyu's little habits. They listened attentively, looking at the tender white tofu on the wooden board, and subconsciously swallowed.
"Mapo tofu, tofu with scallions, tofu and crucian carp soup, braised tofu, pan-fried tofu, tofu wrapped in egg, tofu with minced meat, stir-fried soybean pulp, tomato tofu, fried tofu balls, that's all for now, slurp~ hehe, I'll make some more complicated ones tomorrow, Wensi tofu and Diaochan tofu would be good." Li Xingyu read the recipe while separating the tofu, still unable to help but suck in her saliva and laugh foolishly twice.
"Glug~" "Gurgle~"
As Li Xingyu spoke, sounds of swallowing and stomach rumbling echoed from the kitchen. The people in the three live-streaming rooms were not spared either. Although they did not know what Li Xingyu was talking about and had never eaten it, their bodies were already producing saliva, and their stomachs were sending hunger signals to their brains.
"Alright, tofu cooks relatively easily. Let's split into two groups. One group will handle the ingredients, and the other group will be responsible for cooking. First, prepare the ingredients for a few dishes that are easier to make, and then we can start cooking at the same time. I'll list all the ingredients we need, and we can prepare them in order." Li Xingyu put the knife down, wiped the corner of her mouth to make sure no drool was coming out, and then began to assign tasks.
Li Xingyu first divided the people into two groups: one group prepared and processed the ingredients, and the other group was responsible for cooking.
There are quite a few people in Li Xingyu's family who can cook: Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue are naturally good cooks, and Qin Fengshi, Ryan, Hu Yu and Xifeier are also quite good cooks.
Lost only knows how to make sashimi, so I didn't have high hopes for him and sent him to prepare the ingredients.
After observing and learning from Li Xingyu and Qin Feng, Xinghe and Tianshu have made great progress in their cooking skills. Moreover, due to their strong learning and control abilities, their cooking skills are now second only to Li Xingyu's.
However, there were too many people, so Li Xingyu only selected Qin Fengshi, Ryan, Xinghe, Tian Shu and herself as the cooking team, while the others went to prepare and process the ingredients.
Anyway, the kitchen is big enough that it doesn't feel crowded with so many people. On the contrary, it's quite well-organized. Also, there are quite a lot of kitchen tools, since they are needed for the research on the nutritious paste.
Li Xingyu first explained the order and quantity of the ingredients to everyone, and then proceeded to explain the recipe and the people who would be cooking. Everyone listened attentively, as it concerned their own stomachs, and this was the first time they had all been cooking together in the kitchen.
It was quite novel for Li Manzhou and his group. They had never known that there were such fun things to do together besides fighting. It was truly amazing.
After saying what needed to be said, Li Xingyu prepared to begin. Each dish was not very complicated, and the techniques and methods used in making food before could be used again, so there was no need to talk about too many related techniques and precautions.
"Phew~ Last dish, all done, time to eat." Li Xingyu scooped the meatballs out of the pot, placed them in a colander to drain the oil, and then poured them onto a plate lined with lettuce leaves.
Upon hearing Li Xingyu's words, Delas walked over to her side: "Thank you for your hard work, Little Feather. Is it ready to be served?"
Just as Li Xingyu finished packing the meatballs and was turning off the heat, Delas's voice rang out from the side. Turning her head, she saw Delas's dark red eyes shining as he looked at the delicious-looking meatballs on the plate.
“It’s ready, but I’m thinking about making a sauce. Grandpa Delas, if you don’t mind, could you try one for me first? I’ll clean up the oil in the pan.” Li Xingyu looked at Delas with a smile.
"Okay, then I won't be polite." When Delas heard Li Xingyu's words, his dark red eyes almost turned bright red. He took a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, picked up a meatball, but did not immediately put it in his mouth. Instead, he looked at it in front of his eyes.
"Grandpa Delas, the meatballs are fresh out of the pot, be careful not to burn yourself." Li Xingyu quickly reminded Delas before he could put the meatballs in his mouth, so he wouldn't get burned.
"Okay, mmm! Delicious." Delas responded, then carefully took a small bite, his eyes widening instantly, revealing a somewhat adorable blank expression.
Although tofu is the main ingredient, the meatballs also include many other ingredients: pork, mushrooms, eggs, shrimp...
Because it's not easy to cook through and the proportions are hard to control, Li Xingyu left it for last and made it herself.
Although she is confident in her cooking skills and the abilities provided by the main system, she is still exploring the ingredients here, and she is not so sure about the taste, so she needs to try it before serving it.
"Hmm! It tastes delicious and has a rich texture. Not bad. Next time, you can improve the seasoning ratio." Li Xingyu heard Delas's comments and had just finished processing the remaining oil. She picked up a piece of meatball with chopsticks and placed it in front of her. After observing it briefly, she took a bite, her eyes narrowing in enjoyment. After swallowing the meatball, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Then?" Delas blew on the remaining two-thirds of the meatballs, stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, and looked at Li Xingyu with his eyes asking if she wanted some dipping sauce.
"That's fine then, let's eat first. After all, it's the first time I've made this, and it tastes pretty good." Li Xingyu shook her head, stuffed the remaining meatballs into her mouth, and gestured for Delas to take the meatballs out.
Although it was the last dish to be finished, it didn't take long, only about a minute or two. Just in time, we still needed to prepare bowls, chopsticks, rice, and chairs, so the timing was perfect.
"I never imagined that tofu could be used to make so many different dishes. It's truly an eye-opener," Hu Yu exclaimed, looking at the dishes on the table.
"How about making spicy tofu buns for tomorrow morning? They'll be fresh, fragrant, and hot—absolutely delicious!" Li Xingyu hadn't even started dinner yet, and she was already planning tomorrow's breakfast.
"Great, that sounds really good." Everyone agreed with and looked forward to Li Xingyu's idea.
"Ahem, let's talk about tomorrow morning's matters tomorrow morning. Let's eat first, it's getting late." Li Qingyue quickly changed the subject.
Upon hearing Li Qingyue's words, everyone turned their attention back to the dining table in front of them. Grandma/Grandma was right; the most important thing now was to eat quickly, as everyone felt like they were starving.
As always, everyone waited for Li Manzhou to pick up his chopsticks before starting to eat.
Because there were many dishes this time, the portions were reduced accordingly to avoid wasting food. Although they accepted all the dishes regardless of the quantity, it was still necessary to control the amount for the sake of their health.
