Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 176 The 176th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"Wow~ Qingqi, you're amazing!" Li Xingyu exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the peaches that Qingqi had divided into two piles.

'Hmm, one soft and one hard peach a day, that's great, no need to open blind boxes anymore. It's a waste not to use this ability to cook.' Li Xingyu thought to herself as she munched on a peach.

"Ahem, not really. Maybe my only skill is in selecting ingredients. As for cooking, I tried it when I saw Xingyu's live stream, but... it didn't turn out very well." Qingqi lowered her eyes a little embarrassed as she listened to Li Xingyu's praise. Recalling the time she almost set the forest on fire after watching Li Xingyu's live stream, she hesitated slightly before saying the last sentence.

After all, his ability to select ingredients was like having a cheat code, but for the safety of Xingyu, himself, and Xinghe, he should stay away from the kitchen... no, the pots and pans.

"Oh, it's alright. If Qiqi isn't good at cooking, there's me, Xinghe, Tianshu, Youfinar, and the others. Ah~ Or should we just run away?"

Besides, Cain wasn't very good at cooking, but he was perfectly capable of helping out; he was quite skilled.

The soup that Li Yue makes is delicious! Che can also make sashimi. Although I haven't tried it yet, Qi Qi, can you help us choose the ingredients in the future?

"By the way, does Qiqi's ability work on meat and eggs?" Li Xingyu put the peach back into his storage space, noticed Qingqi's somewhat disappointed expression, and quickly comforted him.

"Okay, Xingyu, then leave the selection of ingredients to me from now on. As for meat, it won't play a very big role, sorry." Qingqi couldn't help but blush when she heard Li Xingyu call her Qiqi, which was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the emerald green.

"It's alright, Qiqi, no need to apologize. Being able to identify plants is already quite impressive." Qingqi is only about 15 centimeters taller than Li Xingyu, so Li Xingyu can easily reach out and touch Qingqi's head. After all, the other party's disappointed expression is really hard to bear, and it's not something that needs to be apologized for.

Feeling the warmth and pressure coming from above, Qingqi's ears turned even redder, and her face flushed as well, but her body betrayed her by lowering her head even further.

Seeing that Qingqi's mood had clearly improved, Li Xingyu happily pulled him towards Xinghe and the others. Li Xingyu was quite concerned about dinner and her friends.

Qingqi followed Li Xingyu's footsteps. Li Xingyu was very careful to only hold his sleeve and did not make direct contact with him. This made Qingqi feel relieved, but also a little disappointed.

Li Xingyu had no idea what Qingqi was thinking. She watched Xinghe and the others frying chicken with a serious expression, occasionally offering a few words of reminder.

The eight people working on the fried chicken were divided into two steps: four people were responsible for frying, and four people were responsible for coating the chicken with batter and potato chip crumbs.

It's worth mentioning that Xinghe, Tian Shu, Youfengal, and Michael were in charge of frying the chicken, while Li Yue, Che, Cain, and Elnis were in charge of coating the chicken with batter and potato chip crumbs.

Li Xingyu looked at Michael, whose movements were elegant and swift, with a somewhat surprised expression. She hadn't expected that the other party, who seemed so otherworldly, would be so skilled on his next outing.

"Michael's movements are really efficient. Was your cooking skill already good before?" Li Xingyu had already seen Xinghe and the others' operations and there were no problems. Then she came to the last group, Michael and Che.

I don't know how they ended up as a couple, since one is an angel and the other is a mermaid, one from the sky and the other from the sea.

However, the two worked together very well, and their appearances were both excellent, no, top-notch, making their cooking a feast for the eyes.

After observing the two of them, Li Xingyu and Qingqi planned to prepare drinks; they couldn't just wait to eat.

There's no need to wash the dishes; there are robots available, so why would you want to take their jobs?

"Xingyu, Qingqi, um, I started practicing when I first saw your live stream, and there's still a lot of room for improvement. Can I ask you, Xinghe, Tianshu and the others about cooking in the future?"

Michael first greeted Li Xingyu and Qingqi who were walking towards him, and then answered Li Xingyu's question.

Since arriving at Michael's house, this was the first time Li Xingyu had heard the other party say so much at once, and her attention was strangely diverted.

"Hey Michael, your voice is so beautiful, it's like jade stones striking each other."

Ahem~ I welcome you to ask me anytime about cooking. As for Xinghe and the others, you'll have to ask them for their opinions yourself.

"But they have unique training methods! If you want to learn, you can ask them." Li Xingyu's attention was drawn to Michael's voice, after all, it was really pleasant to listen to and very calm, before she remembered the other person's question.

"Okay, I understand. I'll ask them after we finish eating." Michael's little halo suddenly turned a tiny bit pink, but he didn't notice it at all. He just looked down at the pot of boiling oil and gave a soft reply.

"Alright, you guys did a great job with the steps and the heat control. Qingqi and I are going to prepare the drinks for tonight. Good luck to you guys~" Li Xingyu looked at Michael's Fried Chicken for a while, didn't find anything wrong, raised her voice a little, and greeted them.

After confirming that Xinghe and the others had heard, Li Xingyu led Qingqi toward the kitchen door, leaving the floating ball that was broadcasting live inside the kitchen.

"Xingyu, what should we prepare for drinks? Tea?" Qingqi followed Li Xingyu all the way to the living room before stopping, looking at Li Xingyu who was looking for tea leaves with some confusion.

"It can be considered a type of tea. I plan to make some fruit tea, a beverage made by mixing fruit and tea leaves. It has the fragrance and flavor of tea, as well as the taste and texture of fruit." Li Xingyu took out a box of Pu'er tea from the cabinet where the tea was stored and turned to explain to Qingqi.

"Oh, that sounds like a really nice drink." Qingqi imagined the combination of tea and fruit and felt it was a beverage he would like.

The elves not only have a high affinity for plants, but they also eat plants themselves. They don't have a great need for protein and fat like meat and eggs, and only need to supplement their diet with a little bit of these foods from time to time.

Moreover, due to their taste, texture, and preparation methods, all kinds of fruits are loved by the elves.

After all, some vegetables need to be processed before they can be eaten, and the elves live in forests filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Those who know, know that cooking in the forest is not a very safe thing.

“Indeed, Qingqi must really like eating fruit and the taste of fruit, right?” Li Xingyu chatted with Qingqi while deftly making tea.

This is the kitchen.

After Li Xingyu left, Xinghe and the others were a little curious about what they were drinking, but they didn't react otherwise. After they became more skilled at controlling the movements and the heat, the eight of them chatted and laughed.

This is the living room.

Li Xingyu and Qingqi are processing the fruit. Although both fresh and dried fruit can be used for fruit tea, drying the fruit now would be too troublesome. So, no matter which one it is, the first step is to peel the fruit that needs to be peeled and cut it into pieces.

Fresh fruit tea doesn't require complicated steps. Li Xingyu and Qingqi brewed several kinds of fruit tea, including peach pu-erh, green grape tea, and even prepared iced lemonade.

The lemons in the interstellar world haven't changed much, except that the fruit has gotten much bigger, and the taste... is even more sour.

Recalling the two people's faces contorted with sourness just now, Li Xingyu looked at the colorful and somewhat dreamy lemonade and felt that she couldn't control her drooling.

As for why lemonade is colorful?

Because Li Xingyu used the colorful fruit honey that she had exchanged with the person who had colorful fruit honey when she was making candied hawthorn and sugar painting in the live broadcast room.

Li Xingyu exchanged quite a few with him. Besides keeping the honey in her own storage space and mustard seed space, she also put a few bottles in the kitchen and living room on the first floor. It's nice to drink some honey water when she has nothing to do.

To make lemonade, you only need three ingredients: lemons, water, ice cubes, and honey. You can omit the ice cubes.

After all, the taste of lemon juice squeezed from fresh lemons is not something that most people can stand. One lick and your face contorts from the sourness, and you can't control your drooling. Who understands?

"Let's take this tea to the dining room. It'll be perfect for us to put it away and then we can go check on Xinghe and the others in the kitchen to see how their frying is going," Li Xingyu suggested, looking at the tea she and Qingqi had prepared.

"Sure, we can also pour them a few glasses of lemon water so they can rest for a while." Qingqi nodded in agreement with Li Xingyu's suggestion.

Li Xingyu found several large trays, placed the brewed fruit tea on them, and then called over several robots to help put the tea on the restaurant tables.

Li Xingyu and Qingqi brewed fruit tea and lemon water in a transparent 2.5L glass teapot. It's better to brew more than you need, and you can put any leftovers in the storage space.

Li Xingyu also carried a tray, and as she and Qingqi walked towards the restaurant, she secretly planned in her mind: 'It's time to make some plans for that mustard seed space, Qingyao, Hanqing.'

"Little Xingyu, what's wrong?" Qingyao's somewhat lazy and hoarse voice rang in Li Xingyu's mind.

Qingyao was so engrossed in reading the materials that she didn't realize how much information she had received until it had taken a little too long.

After finishing at 2 PM, Qingyao basically fell into a deep sleep and was only woken up by Li Xingyu's voice just now.

When one enters a state of sleep, regardless of abilities, guardians, or any other relationship or bond, the thoughts of both parties are in a state where they cannot be heard.

"Hey, Qingyao, were you sleeping? Did I wake you up?" Li Xingyu naturally heard Qingyao's sleepy voice and felt a little embarrassed.

"There is something I need your and Han Qing's help with. Isn't our mustard seed space a very large area?"

Then it can use its mental power to adjust the local weather and temperature. Let's plan the land properly and plant some crops while we're at it.

Ideally, it should form a cycle or a food chain, which would make it more convenient to travel there later. Li Xingyu placed the tray she was carrying on the table and took some disposable cups from the cabinet by the wall. Each pot of tea was unique and individual.

"Hmm, what Xiao Xingyu said makes a lot of sense. Then please wait here a little longer. After Han Qing finishes reading this part of the data, we'll discuss it in detail. We can't let so much good land go to waste." Hearing Li Xingyu's words, Qingyao immediately came to her senses.

Recently, Qingyao has been reading about the difficult years in Li Xingyu's past. Her first reaction upon hearing Li Xingyu's words was that he planted all the land with harvested crops, and she spoke her mind without hesitation.

But then Li Xingyu realized that there were still not enough people. Could they keep them busy one after another?

"Hmm, Qingyao, can't you and Hanqing exchange energy points for things? How about we just buy or copy a batch? Including things like farming robots." Li Xingyu poured lemonade into a glass while making plans for the other space with Qingyao.

"That's fine, but let Hanqing and I try it out first to see if we can operate on a large scale using mental power directly. If it works, mental power is more convenient. I don't really want to store tools and stuff, and I'd have to build a few more warehouses or something." Qingyao's voice was full of eagerness.

"Okay, but don't rush, let's discuss it again tonight. I'm telling you now because I'm afraid I'll forget later." Li Xingyu was slightly embarrassed, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Well, there's still plenty of time, we can take it slow. I'm going to rest now, we'll talk again tonight." Qingyao nodded in agreement at first, then realized that Li Xingyu couldn't see her right now, so she quickly said a few words and then logged off.

While chatting with Qingyao in their mental sea, Li Xingyu poured lemonade, filling it only about five-sixths full, making each cup roughly the same size.

Qingqi and Li Xingyu poured about ten cups in total. The cups weren't very big; they were just ordinary, inexpensive disposable cups.

However, Li Xingyu didn't know what the disposable cup was made of. After a brief examination, he could only conclude with certainty that it was not paper.

Before Li Xingyu and Qingqi even stepped into the kitchen, they could smell the aroma of fried chicken filling the air.

The two carried the trays into the kitchen. Actually, it was mainly Qingqi who carried them, because Li Xingyu's fair and slender hands were too easy to leave marks. Even carrying a little bit of heavy objects would easily leave red marks.
