Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Seafood is delicious and low in fat, but it's too troublesome to prepare and takes a lot of time.

It wasn't that Li Xingyu didn't want to help, but among the seafood that needed processing were:

She couldn't handle shrimp and crabs; the former were too energetic for her to handle, and the latter's claws and shells were too hard, and the spines on their legs were too sharp—the robots were the ones dealing with them.

Shellfish only need to be soaked in oil and salt to remove sand;

As for the fish, Xinghe and Tianshu took over, saying that they would handle the task of processing the ingredients.

Now that Li Yue and the other seven have arrived, there are even more people to do the work, making it even harder for Li Xingyu to get involved.

However, Li Xingyu was quite happy, since she wasn't just there to eat; she was the one who decided how to prepare the seafood.

The current situation is good; no one is idle.

While watching Xinghe and the robot process the ingredients, Li Xingyu was thinking about what to do.

As Li Xingyu pondered, a faint, suspicious, glistening drop of water flashed across the corner of her mouth.

"Pfft~ Hehe, what's Little Feather thinking about? Are you already so impatient?"

"If Little Feather likes it, I'll have Uncle Lost send some more from Luoshui Star." Xinghe was diligently preparing the seafood while keeping an eye on Li Xingyu.

After all, based on the conversation just now, it was clear that Li Xingyu was not used to having so many people around her all of a sudden, and she still needed to be a little more careful about her emotions.

Then Xinghe looked at Li Xingyu with a mixture of helplessness and amusement, wondering what he was thinking, with a trickle of... drool escaping from the corner of his mouth?

Although after Li Xingyu gained the "inherited memories", she would have a similar expression every time she announced the names of the dishes or had something she wanted to eat, it always felt cute and funny.

"Huh? Father Lost?" Li Xingyu was startled awake by Xinghe's voice, but she could only vaguely hear Lost's name and couldn't make out anything else. She could only look at him with a confused expression.

“You know, if Little Feather likes seafood, you can send a message to Uncle Lost and ask Luo Shuixing to send some more over.” Xinghe looked at Li Xingyu, who had a blank expression, and spoke in a doting and gentle tone.

"Oh, are all these produced on Lost's private planet? There's no need to send them; there are plenty more in the storage room." Li Xingyu thought the seafood was bought from the StarNet, but she didn't expect it to be products from Lost's private planet.

Luo Shui Xing, one of Lost's private planets, is a planet with an 8:2 ratio of sea to land. Two-thirds of the land area on this planet is a single landmass, while the rest consists of scattered islands and reefs.

"Yes, now all the ingredients for our family come from our own land; the fruits and vegetables are all supplied by the plantations here."

"As for meat, the beef and mutton are raised on our family's farm in Mengzhou, the pork is raised on our farm in Chuanzhou, and the other meats are sent from Grandpa Fox's private planet—Yu Nanxing." Xinghe looked at Li Xingyu's expression of sudden understanding, then thoughtfully explained to her in a soft voice.

In Xinghe's eyes, the Li family's ancestral home was more transparent than a bubble; almost any foreign item would be inspected by him.

"Oh, I see. Then we can try other meats tonight. I saw quite a lot. We can change the ingredients for each meal." Li Xingyu listened to Xinghe's words with excitement.

Although Li Xingyu is not yet an adult and lacks economic independence and administrative ability, each of the elders in the Li family has prepared at least one planet for her, and they are all quite different.

Li Xingyu was naturally unaware of these things. She was simply happy because she could eat different ingredients every day. Although she still had to think about what to eat, the range of choices had narrowed considerably.

"Little Star's idea is great, I agree with it." Tian Shu handed the freshly prepared fish to Yu Fenal, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

Yufinal took the pre-prepared fish from Tian Shu and skillfully and quickly marinated it, not forgetting to agree with Li Xingyu's suggestion: "Little Feather's idea is very interesting. If we have seafood for lunch, what are you planning to eat for dinner?"

The others also had expectant and thoughtful expressions, after all, they were all still young and had never been away from home for a long time.

As for food, including Xinghe, apart from nutrient solution and nutrient paste, they mostly eat their own race's food, and they have very little contact with other races.

Occasionally, there would be a few elders from other races, just enough to let them have a taste of something new, since there really wasn't much interaction between races and regions in the past.

"Little Feather, can we make chicken the main dish for dinner? Glug~ I'm craving beggar's chicken." Li Yue said, swallowing hard, clearly remembering the taste of beggar's chicken.

It must be said that Li Yue's words provided Xinghe and the others with excellent ideas and topics, and the atmosphere gradually became lively, although it was not quiet to begin with.

After everyone had prepared all the ingredients in a lively atmosphere, it was time for Li Xingyu to take the lead.

"Some crabs, shellfish, and fish can be simply steamed and topped with a prepared sauce."

Then, I stir-fried some of the remaining seafood with scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and garlic sprouts. I'll demonstrate this with one pot first, so you can learn carefully.

"The rest will be divided into two portions, one for braising and the other for stewing." Li Xingyu divided the seafood into four portions, more or less, and then began to arrange them.

First, she prepared some sauces for steaming seafood. Different methods require different proportions of sauces, but there are also proportions that are universally applicable and foolproof. Li Xingyu explained these proportions to everyone while preparing the sauces.

The levitating ball adjusted the camera angle according to Li Xingyu's movements, because Xinghe and the others were watching her movements intently and learning from them.

Xinghe and the others who knew how to cook even brought out their personal computers to record videos and take notes, almost making Li Xingyu feel like she was back when she was teaching Yin Lian and the others how to cook.

"...This is roughly the ratio. You can adjust it according to your own taste. This is the ratio I think tastes good."

"Uh! What are you guys doing? You scared me." Li Xingyu had just finished mixing the sauce when she looked up and met several floating spheres that were filming her, as well as Xinghe and the others' slightly burning gazes.

"Little Feather, you seem to be glowing when you're making food." Xinghe paused filming his levitation ball first, smiling a little embarrassedly at Li Xingyu.

Seeing Xinghe's embarrassed expression, Li Xingyu's expression was somewhat helpless, mainly because the other party was not in a calm mood at the moment.

So, can't this telepathic connection of the chosen ones really be turned off? Even blocking it would be better, but how are socially anxious and introverted people supposed to live?

Waaaaah~ X﹏X~

Li Xingyu lowered her eyes, her expression somewhat helpless, but a shy smile appeared on her lips: "Really? Xinghe, you're exaggerating a bit."

"No, no, no, Xingyu, Xinghe is absolutely right. And it's not just when she's making food. When she's making clothes, playing the piano, or singing, Xingyu's whole demeanor changes. She really does glow." Elnis's originally thin, vertical golden pupils have transformed into round spheres, and his tone and expression are filled with excitement.

As a dragon who loves sparkling things, Elnis has a fondness for anything that shines.

When Li Xingyu is focused on her work, she radiates light from her very soul. Elnis couldn't contain his excitement, and his eyes were overflowing with affection.

"Hehe~ Elnis has always been dazzling, and so has everyone else." Li Xingyu was a little afraid to meet Elnis's gaze, but she still looked around at everyone seriously and answered Elnis with a serious expression.

Xinghe and the others stared at Li Xingyu's serious expression, and were stunned for a moment. Then they all blushed. Except for Xinghe and Tian Shu, the others all showed some racial characteristics to varying degrees.

Just now, to make it easier to film and observe, Xinghe and the others were either standing next to Li Xingyu or opposite her, so...

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?" Li Xingyu looked at the nine large tails that appeared behind Li Yue, the sharp horn on Yu Fenar's head and the tail behind him, the scales and ear fins that appeared on Che's forehead, the large wings behind Cain... with a face full of doubt and confusion.

"No, no, Little Feather is right. Shall we start preparing the remaining ingredients?" Li Yue had just been standing next to Li Xingyu, and several of her tails had unconsciously moved closer, so he was the first to come to his senses.

"Yes, yes, yes, Li Yue is right. Little Feather didn't say anything wrong. We were just too surprised and didn't quite react." Che tried hard to control his tail, which was itching to move, and nodded repeatedly in agreement with Li Yue's words.

Everyone else reacted similarly, and Li Xingyu was even more confused, but her hand still honestly went to the tail that Li Yue was offering: "Oh, shall we continue?"

"Keep going, keep going. I've almost memorized the steps. Can Little Feather give me some guidance from the side?" Xinghe blinked gently, her smile becoming even more tender, and her tone incredibly soft.

"Ahhh, Little Feather is so gentle and cute." "Ah~ I'm so happy! Little Feather praised me." "Little Feather really considers everyone's needs, that's so kind."

“…Okay.” Li Xingyu was a little taken aback when Xinghe’s empty heart suddenly surged up after she finished speaking. She paused for a moment before answering.

Everyone went to the agreed-upon location and began doing their assigned tasks, though their movements and expressions were somewhat subtle and stiff, and they hadn't yet reverted to their racial traits.

"Wow~ Are you all so amazing? I did it once and you all remembered it!" Li Xingyu looked at the group of people who did it so well and was full of admiration.

Then Li Xingyu received a bunch of wagging tails, flapping wings, and reddened cheeks and ear tips.

"Little Feather, is our work alright? Is there anything wrong with the steps or the seasonings we added?" Li Xingyu had been moving around because the kitchen utensils were all a bit far apart. She had just walked up to Yu Fenal when she heard his question.

What followed was the other party's slender, heart-shaped tail intimately wrapping around her wrist.

"Hmm, you did a great job. The steps and the added ingredients were all correct." Li Xingyu let Yu Fenar's tail wrap around her wrist, noticing the others' perked-up ears, her voice filled with subtle laughter.

Upon hearing Li Xingyu's answer, everyone visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really! But it's still not enough compared to Little Feather. I'll keep working hard." Yufinal blushed and spoke to Li Xingyu with great excitement.

“Okay, I look forward to it, and I will always be with you.” Li Xingyu gently patted the tail that Yu Fenar was wrapped around her wrist, her eyes curving slightly.

"Hmm." Knowing that Li Xingyu wanted him to let go, Yufinal struggled to control his tail and nodded seriously.

Li Xingyu smiled and reached out to ruffle Yufinar's hair before taking a step toward the next person.

Seafood cooks very quickly, and the dishes we decided on today are all relatively simple to prepare, so they don't take much time.

"Alright, lunch is done. Shall we rest for a bit before eating? I've prepared some drinks. Thank you all for your hard work." Li Xingyu looked at the seafood feast enveloped in the time-stopper's range and turned to Xinghe and the others who were carrying the last batch of dishes.

The seafood in the interstellar restaurant is so large that even if there aren't many pieces, it still takes many attempts to cook them all.

After confirming that everyone had mastered the method of preparing seafood, Li Xingyu, along with Cain, Qingqi, and Elnis, prepared drinks on the other side.

“It’s not tiring to do this, Xiao Yumo, don’t worry too much. You can have the drinks with the meal. Shall we take the dishes out now?” Xinghe put the dishes in her hand on the counter and asked Li Xingyu to take a picture of the whole scene.

Following Xinghe's actions, Tian Shu and the others basically shared the same thought regarding the audience in Li Xingyu's live stream.

Li Xingyu successfully "corrupted" Xinghe and the others. The ten of them went further and further down the path of teasing the viewers in Li Xingyu's live stream, and they never tired of it.

“Okay, let’s take the dishes out now. Hmm… didn’t we cook rice?” Li Xingyu controlled the floating ball to spin around on the counter, then turned to Xinghe and the others and nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

"Uh..." The group looked at each other in confusion, and then fell silent.

"However... with so much seafood today, it shouldn't be a problem if we don't eat any staple food." Li Xingyu looked at the seafood that filled the entire kitchen counter, her tone slightly hesitant and uncertain.
