Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"smell good!"

When Li Xingyu demonstrated and fried the first batch of chicken drumsticks, the entire kitchen was filled with the unique aroma of fried chicken.

Xinghe and the others were studying intently when their attention was gradually diverted by the aroma of fried chicken.

Xinghe and the others shook their heads vigorously, trying to focus their attention on Li Xingyu's actions and the precautions he mentioned, but their Adam's apples kept bobbing up and down as they swallowed the saliva that secreted from their mouths.

"...This is the first time. To help the fried chicken set and lock in moisture, let it rest for a little while before frying it again. This will make the outer crust even crispier."

While using chopsticks to stir the fried chicken in the pot, Li Xingyu explained to everyone.

When discussing the division of labor, Li Xingyu and Xinghe had already determined the minimum portion size for today's dinner.

The actual amount of ingredients prepared will be slightly more than the amount agreed upon by them.

Because of the energy required for their own growth and the consumption of high-level abilities, Li Xingyu and the others had incredibly good appetites. With the added benefit of their cooking skills, it was not surprising that they ate more than usual.

Tonight, Li Xingyu and his friends prepared five whole chickens and a large basket of fruits and vegetables, mainly to indulge themselves.

……

"Okay, have you remembered all the steps for making fried chicken and the things you need to pay attention to?"

If you're not very confident in your cooking skills, then help coat all the chicken with the batter and potato chip crumbs; that will speed things up.

"Hey~ want to try some freshly fried chicken? It's made with our own secret recipe~" Li Xingyu held up a plate of fried chicken, gesturing for Xinghe and the others to follow, and placed the fried chicken on the counter.

It's not a good place to have a conversation in front of a hot pot; it's better to keep a little distance.

The freshly fried chicken was still steaming hot, and the crispy potato chip coating on the outside had a golden color. With the addition of red chili powder sprinkled on top, it was simply irresistible.

"Hmm, we've noted down the requirements for making the fried chicken, but right now all my attention is on this plate that's already fried." Xinghe stopped the robot that was walking towards the pot, otherwise, after they finished eating the fried chicken, the pot would be spotless.

'Sure enough, these programs and systems are still too rigid. I'll discuss it with Tian Shu when I have some time and see if there's any way to improve them.' Xinghe sighed inwardly and turned off the robot.

What a joke! There are so many of them here now, what would they need this robot for? To steal Little Feather's attention?

"Pfft, come on over, everyone. It should taste pretty good. If you get tired of it, you can eat some vegetables and fruits to cleanse your palate." Li Xingyu was amused by Xinghe's words and urged them to come over quickly.

When Li Xingyu saw that they had all come over, she took the chopsticks that Cain handed her, picked up a fried chicken wing, and then her attention was drawn to the potato chip crumbs on the crispy skin.

These potato chips were fried by her, Li Yue, You Fennar, Che, and Cain the day before yesterday.

As for Xinghe and Tianshu, they were summoned by a communication message saying there was an emergency.

After reminiscing, Li Xingyu gently blew on the chicken wing roots twice, then suddenly remembered something, and was about to look up at everyone when she said, "Ah~ right, be careful..."

"Hiss! Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~"

"Sigh~"

"Aww~@%..."

Before Li Xingyu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Yufinal, Che, and Elnes from the other side: "Hot... Oh... Yufinal, Che, Elnes! Are you alright? Water, water..."

The others didn't have any major problems because their hands and mouths weren't as eager as Yufinal and Elnis's, nor were they as afraid of high temperatures as Che.

Startled by the reactions of Yufinal, Che, and Elnis, he quickly put down the fried chicken he had just taken a bite of and hurriedly went to pour water.

After what could be described as a chaotic and disorganized affair, everyone was left feeling somewhat bewildered and amused.

"Pfft~ Hahahaha... You three... Hahahaha"

"Ahem, hehehe...sorry..." "Hahahaha..."

After Li Xingyu and the others exchanged glances, and then saw the miserable state of Yufinar, Che, and Elnis, they all burst into laughter.

Although it wasn't very pleasant, watching Yufinal and the other two eagerly sip the water, occasionally sticking their tongues out to cool them down, was quite a sight.

Even Qingqi and Michael, whose expressions weren't usually very rich, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Under the somewhat resentful gazes of Yufinal and the other two, Li Xingyu and the others coughed twice and slightly suppressed their laughter.

"Ahem, how are you feeling now? You can't rush things. This fried chicken just came out of the fryer, it must be super hot, and it's still juicy inside..."

As Li Xingyu spoke, she carefully examined each one. It seemed that only the tongue and mouth had turned a little red, and there was no swelling. The problem seemed to be the same as what Xinghe and the others had said, not very serious, and there was no need for a small home treatment device.

"Ahem... Do you three need my help? Although it's not serious, I can't bear to see you looking so pitiful that you can only look but not eat. As for home therapy devices, it's too much trouble to carry them around, sterilize them, and recharge them."

Like Li Xingyu, Qingqi was also carefully observing Yufinal, Che, and Elnis. Seeing the three of them staring longingly at the fried chicken, she felt a little sorry for them.

Xinghe and the others were also watching the three of them, but they didn't pay particular attention to some of the small details.

After all, it's not very polite for a large group of people to be staring at the mouths of three people. If it's just Li Xingyu and Qingqi, Yu Fenar and the others won't be in a very good mood... cough cough...

Xinghe and the others have already gotten to know each other. Qingqi is a god-level healing ability user who can directly use his ability to heal and restore wounds.

Since it was only slightly burned, and her tongue and mouth were a little red, but there were no other symptoms, she didn't go to get the healing device or ask Qingqi to use her ability.

This includes Yufinal, Che, and Elnis, though it's possible they felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Li Xingyu is currently live streaming. Although the viewers in the live stream are not paying attention to them, and both sides seem to be in similar situations, that's another matter.

"Ah~ thank you Qingqi o((*^▽^*))o, but it's no need, we're basically fine now, we were just too hasty. There's a saying, 'Haste makes waste,' right? I'm so sorry to have worried you."

Che shook his head, thanked him first, and then returned to his usual self, except that the tips of his ears and cheeks were flushed.

Yufinal and Elnis reacted in the same way, smiling apologetically at Li Xingyu and Qingqi, and nodding slightly to everyone.

To be fair, the recovery ability of a god-level ability user is truly remarkable. The red burns that Li Xingyu saw earlier have now returned to normal.

Xinghe and the others saw it too, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After catching their breath, everyone picked up their chopsticks again and continued eating the fried chicken.

After this little incident, the atmosphere among everyone became more harmonious, and for a while, only the sound of "click-clack" echoed in the kitchen.

"Hey everyone... Hahaha, how come you all got burned too?"

While munching on fried chicken wing roots, Li Xingyu manipulated the barrage of comments to enlarge it in front of him to a size that everyone could see clearly:

More from ancient times: [Waaah, Your Highness, this fried chicken is perfect except it's a little hot.]

Reply to Holiday: [Your Highness, um... could you tell me about this earlier next time? Waaaa, it was so unexpected! But, the fried chicken was really delicious, hehehe.]

The extent of the burn should be: [Hehehe, I didn't get burned at all. This is the first time I've been so grateful that I was slow. Fried chicken is really delicious, and its aroma is especially tempting.]

So lonely: [Your Highness, when will this be available? As someone who's terrible at cooking, I have to admit I'm not very good at it. *forces a smile*]

…………

Li Xingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud again as she looked at the barrage of comments praising her and asking for new food items.

I have to say, watching the live comments while eating fried chicken is just so much fun, this is what life is all about!

Ok……

I'll make some fruit tea sometime when I have time.

Li Xingyu was subtly pondering this in her mind.

After all, Li Xingyu isn't particularly picky about food, but she doesn't dislike any particular kind of food either.

Aside from bitter, raw, and tomato-based foods, Li Xingyu eats almost everything else. She has a wide range of tastes, including spicy, savory, and mild flavors.

But if you can eat what you want, or rather, if you can have what you want to eat, then why bother with things you don't really want?

Aside from plain water, Li Xingyu prefers fruit tea. After all, it's sweet and sour, and whether you just like it or want to try something new, fruit tea is a great drink.

If it's a carbonated drink that Li Xingyu doesn't particularly like, she'll still have a cup or two, but it's more likely to cause bloating and burping.

Xinghe and the others naturally knew some of Li Xingyu's preferences, but they couldn't hear Li Xingyu's thoughts right now and didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise...

"Ah~ ah~ Do you guys have any drinks you'd like?" Li Xingyu skillfully shrunk the barrage of comments, then waved it aside, never looking at it again.

"Hmm? Drinks? Juice? Little Feather, don't even think about it, alcohol is out of the question." Xinghe seemed to have suddenly gained some superpower, interrupting and arranging things for Li Xingyu before she could even finish speaking.

Li Xingyu's personality has been seen through by most people. After all, apart from Li Yue, You Feinaer, and Qing Qi, the others are not yet adults, but they are all quite old and have experience.

In addition, Li Xingyu basically wears her heart on her sleeve, making her very easy to understand.

"Alright then, shall we continue?"

No, you come here, let me see what kind of drink to make.

Drinks aren't just alcoholic beverages, are they?

By the way, how are carbonated drinks made again?

I can't remember. Oh well, I'll just have juice for now.

Li Xingyu happily made a decision about what drink she would have later, and then met a bunch of expectant eyes.

Li Xingyu's skill in cooking had already deeply etched Xinghe and the others into his/her mind.

After all, it was a uniquely delicious food, and... even if it were just a simple glass of juice, they believed that Li Xingyu would make it even more delicious.

"Alright, we can get started now. Let me see what drinks we can make. Even if it's just fruit tea, the flavors can be mixed and matched." Li Xingyu muttered to herself, then said something to everyone before walking towards the fruit.

"Xingyu, I'm not very good at cooking, and there are quite a few people over there. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Qingqi's noble and ethereal voice carried a slight hoarseness and shyness.

Li Xingyu looked over following Qingqi's words and couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, they didn't seem like people who had just met. They were frying chicken so happily and smoothly.

Their level of understanding is so high that it's impossible for them not to have known each other before.

"Wow~ Did Xinghe and the others know each other before? How come they work together so well?" Li Xingyu looked at Xinghe and the others working so hard and felt a little tempted to join in.

Xinghe and his group of eight worked in pairs, their teamwork was incredibly seamless.

One person coats the chicken with batter and potato chip crumbs, while the other person doesn't even look away, and then simply takes the chicken that's ready to be cooked.

"Xingyu, I'd like to trouble you to take a look at our steps and the heat control." Xinghe was still a little worried that she might mess it up on her first try, so she couldn't help but send a signal for help to Li Xingyu.

“Okay, I’ll look around. Xinghe, don’t worry. I’ve already said that you and Tianshu are already quite good cooks. It’s no big deal to be a little more confident in these things.” Li Xingyu replied to Xinghe while picking out fruit with Qingqi.

It must be said that, as a race of elves who are close to plants, Qingqi is exceptionally professional and skilled at selecting fruits and vegetables.

With just a glance, Qingqi can tell whether the plants and animals in front of her are fresh, taste, and quality—that's a very impressive ability.

Although almost all the ingredients in Li Xingyu's family are covered by a time-stopping device, making it unlikely that the ingredients will be stale, when choosing vegetables, you can always tell at a glance that they look and taste better.

Please see the peach in Li Xingyu's hand that it took two bites from and then started daydreaming.

This peach was given to Li Xingyu by Tao Yao when she went to the back mountain with Xinghe, Tian Shu, and Li Yue.

Li Xingyu didn't finish eating; she still had at least one basket left in her storage space, and although she could finish it all herself.
