Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Okay, what do we need? We can prepare it first." Xinghe looked at Li Xingyu's face, which was filled with a surprised smile, and her tone became gentle and cheerful.

Everyone else was eager to try it out; teenagers are always curious about new and exciting things.

Moreover, it felt like Li Xingyu possessed some kind of magic, always able to easily stir up and soothe their emotions.

"Hmm, we need glutinous rice, a sealable container about half a person's height, and some yeast. However, we haven't gathered all the necessary materials yet, so we can use yeast instead for now." Li Xingyu recalled the materials and tools needed to brew rice wine in her mind.

As for yeast, Li Xingyu used to be quite interested in traditional culture. Every time she came across a related video, she would watch it all, so she learned how to make a lot of strange and unusual things.

After all, chefs are more confident with readily available raw materials, but brewing wine is a science in itself.

However, the skill of "superior medical skills" does mention the method of making Chinese medicinal wine yeast, since both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are medicine.

It must be said that Li Xingyu used to have a very good alcohol tolerance and would often accompany his family to try different kinds of wine.

Everyone in the family has different preferences. Li Xingyu, although she doesn't like the taste and smell of alcohol, can drink it and isn't picky.

Thinking of sweet and refreshing rice wine, fragrant flower wines, distinctive fruit wines, fiery and strong baijiu, mellow and full-bodied wines, cocktails with rich flavors and colors, and beer that is suitable for all ages and can also be used in cooking...

Li Xingyu felt that she didn't dislike the taste of alcohol as much anymore.

It just goes to show that what you get too easily is not cherished.

Li Xingyu now feels that sometimes having a few drinks is quite nice; a slight buzz is the best.

"Little Feather? Little Feather..." Seeing Li Xingyu's blank expression, Yu Fenar couldn't help but call out a few times.

The attention of others was also drawn to it.

"Huh? Nar, what's wrong?" Li Xingyu was brought back to her senses by Yu Fenar's voice. As soon as her eyes focused, she met the worried faces of the crowd. She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and asked Yu Fenar.

"Little Feather, I called you so many times, but you didn't seem to hear me. Is there some lingering effect?" Yufinal's beautiful eyes were overflowing with worry.

It's not that I don't believe in Qingqi's medical skills, but the brain of any living being is the most complex, mysterious, and unknown entity. Even now, its structure and the distribution of nerves are not fully understood.

When Li Xingyu bumped his head, everyone was actually a little worried, not because of anyone's medical skills, but because of their own emotions.

"Ah? No, I was just thinking about some brewing methods and types of wine, and I got so engrossed in it."

"Qingqi's abilities and medical knowledge are amazing. I don't feel uncomfortable at all right now, so this is all over. There's no need to worry." Li Xingyu looked at everyone's expressions and understood that they were all thinking the same thing. She felt a little helpless but also very happy.

After all, only those who care about you would worry about you this much.

No matter who it is, being cared for so earnestly must make them very happy, right?

Qingqi blushed at Li Xingyu's praise and lowered her head shyly.

Upon hearing Li Xingyu's explanation and reassurance, the others' worries disappeared, but they secretly resolved to take good care of her.

Such a good person deserves to be cherished and pampered.

She has the qualifications, and they have the ability.

"Oh, I see. Then we can try both in the future. But is the wine the same kind of drink as monkey wine?" Although Xinghe didn't quite know what the wine Li Xingyu was talking about tasted like, it sounded like it was the same as monkey wine from the name.

"Is it a condiment like cooking wine?" Michael added from the side.

“Yes, different types have different uses, depending on how they are used. They can be drunk directly or made into delicious dishes with other ingredients.” Li Xingyu said, poking the magnolia meat that Che had cut out.

The texture is no different from ordinary raw fish. If I had to make a comparison, the magnolia's texture is more delicate and soft.

Li Xingyu looked at what appeared to be flesh from Yulan's abdomen, which Che had cut off along with the large fish bones.

The more she looked at it, the more awkward it seemed. Li Xingyu picked up a clean knife and began to debone the magnolia meat that was showing a few fish bones.

Xinghe and the others left Qingqi and Michael with Li Xingyu and went to prepare the materials and tools that Li Xingyu had mentioned they would need.

So far, Michael's speed and reaction time are the fastest among the nine, not to mention Qingqi, the healer!

Che continued to observe the actual situation of the two groups of magnolias from his previous position, and occasionally took a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

The Li family has a lot of containers like jars, and they can't always use the ones from Li Xingyu's own storage space. It always feels like their family is struggling and they have to rely on the pocket money of their youngest child to make ends meet.

This feeling was not pleasant for the family heads, so they discussed and purchased another batch of suitable items.

"Hmm... Che, didn't you just say the odor inside has gotten much better? How about we try making some fish balls and fish tofu?" Li Xingyu looked at the fish meat that had already been deboned and remembered two cooking methods.

(This is what the author calls "fish rot" in their hometown; please don't take it too seriously. You might figure out what it is as you read on, since this is the only name the author knows, and it's a translation from their local dialect.)

"Hmm? Yes, after marinating for ten minutes, the legendary magnolia flavor is starting to emerge. But what are fish balls and fish tofu? How are they made? They sound delicious." Che adjusted the time ratio with the time accelerator while observing. Hearing Li Xingyu's words, he nodded affirmatively and then became curious again.

“Yes, but both of these require separating the fish bones and meat, then chopping them into very fine fish paste before proceeding to the next step. I'll debone them, and you guys will be in charge of chopping the meat.” Li Xingyu watched Yulan eagerly holding the knife.

Deboning a fish that only has one main bone is so relaxing, isn't it?

Although the magnolia didn't look good at first and was sticky, once the skin was peeled off, the inside was all flesh, so how could it not look good?

Li Xingyu likes this job.

“Okay, but we’ll still need Little Feather’s guidance then.” Che, Qingqi, and Michael exchanged glances and agreed at the same time.

It's just chopping meat, no big deal.

"Okay." Li Xingyu responded and began to remove the bones from Yulan with a swift motion.

Li Xingyu's bone-removing movements were fluid and efficient, with a touch of elegance and naturalness, making them incredibly pleasing to the eye.

At least Che and the other two were stunned. It was a little feather that was different from usual, but it was still just as dazzling and mesmerizing.

Really...

It makes me like it even more.

Che, Qingqi, and Michael were practically clutching their chests with hearts bulging in their eyes.

However, Li Xingyu was completely focused on removing the bone and was oblivious to what was happening outside.

Magnolia's bones are a pinkish-white color that is almost eerie. At least in Li Xingyu's knowledge, neither animals nor humans have pink bones.

At most, they are the kind of jade-colored stones that are somewhat lustrous or translucent, except for Buddhist relics, of course.

This pink color looks really weird.

Li Xingyu didn't throw it away as kitchen waste. Instead, she scanned it with her personal computer. She was really curious and had to see what this pink bone was all about.

"Beep! The composition of the scanned object cannot be confirmed. Please wait patiently or send it to the relevant department for more comprehensive and professional testing."

"Beep! Preliminary confirmation that the scanned sample contains toxins."

"Beep! The toxic components have not been identified. It is not recommended to touch or consume this product."

"Beep! Please send the unknown item to the nearest testing facility."

"drop!……"

"..."

Li Xingyu, Che, Qingqi, and Michael stared blankly at the constantly beeping optical scanner in front of them, then looked at the pink bones on the cooking counter.

"Hiss! Little Feather, quick, disinfect your hands."

Qingqi, can your ability cure poison?

Michael went to find Xinghe and Tian Shu and quickly sent the news to the Alliance to make it public.

"Let's not touch these bones yet. I'll isolate them with an isolation shield." Che was the first to react and quickly made arrangements.

“It’s useful, Little Feather. Let me disinfect your hand first, and then I’ll test it.” Qingqi grabbed Li Xingyu’s wrist and took out a series of medical disinfection items from her storage space.

"Okay, I'll go now." Before Michael could finish speaking, he disappeared from Li Xingyu and the others' sight.

"No, Che, has no one ever tested Yulan's bones before? How come there's no record of this in the StarNet or related data?" Li Xingyu looked at Che, who was putting an isolation shield over a pile of bones, with a speechless and puzzled expression.

Li Xingyu really couldn't figure it out.

How did the people here eat fish before the recipes were still available?

If you say that no one could have thought of these two methods, Li Xingyu wouldn't believe a word of it. Never underestimate the power of foodies and lazy people, okay?

Moreover, this thing wasn't mentioned in the information that Qingyao and Hanqing gave us.

"Little Xingyu, the information we've collected only covers important news from the last ten thousand years. Collecting information from too far back or in too much detail would be too troublesome, and it would be even more complicated for you to receive it." Qingyao and Hanqing, who had been following Li Xingyu's line of sight the whole time, had a god-like perspective. Sensing Li Xingyu's confusion, they quickly came out to explain to her.

Originally, he thought that collecting nearly 10,000 years of general information would be enough. After all, there were just too many related things. If the history were any more distant or detailed, it would be difficult for Li Xingyu to digest.

Who knew this would happen? How come the fish wasn't detected as poisonous when the flesh and bones weren't separated?

Besides, who would bother to thoroughly scan a pile of oddly colored bones from an unpalatable fish?

Shouldn't we never look at something that tastes bad again after we've eaten it?

The interstellar man felt somewhat wronged.

There are still many things left to do. With the abilities and intellect of interstellar people, what can't they do?

Studying unpalatable fish bones and other kitchen waste is a complete waste of time and life, okay?

Li Xingyu let Qingqi clean and disinfect her hands, being incredibly obedient.

Hilarious! You still need your own hands, okay?

What if something is overlooked during a single movement?

Then they got poisoned directly. Isn't that even more terrifying?

However, although she managed to keep her hands still, Li Xingyu's mouth couldn't stay still.

When Li Xingyu panicked, she couldn't help but try to do something to distract herself, so as not to let her overactive imagination lead her to think of things that would scare her.

Li Xingyu was in a panic, talking to Qingyao and Hanqing in his mind for almost two minutes, rambling on about nothing in particular.

Then Li Xingyu calmed down and asked Qingyao and Hanqing for their opinions and suggestions: "Qingyao, Hanqing, can you find all the detailed information about magnolias here now? Starting from the beginning of the records."

Of course, I won't accept it. Just let me know after you've looked at it. If that doesn't work, you can use energy points to exchange for detailed and complete information about the magnolia.

While Li Xingyu was rambling on and on, Qingyao and Hanqing were already multitasking by researching information.

They could roughly understand Li Xingyu's current mood, so neither of the two systems showed any of the negative emotions that would make Li Xingyu panic, even though their eyes were tired from looking at the data and their brains were a little swollen from receiving so much information.

After all, finding records of a biological species that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years is an extremely difficult task.

But that's about the biggest reaction we've had.

Qingyao and Hanqing are the second batch of beings to exist in time and space, and their abilities and methods are beyond doubt.

"Alright, all the information about Yulan has been found. There is a lot of detailed information about Yulan's bones..." Han Qing said to Li Xingyu as she organized and compiled the information.

Data synchronization is the fastest way to understand information.

Then, just as Han Qing was about to read the summary they had compiled to Li Xingyu, her eyes first fell on the text displayed on the document, and the words she wanted to say immediately stuck in her throat.

'Why are you stammering? Let me see...' Qingyao was cleaning up some unused documents when she heard Hanqing's hesitant words. She waved her hand to make the documents clear automatically, then leaned closer. After seeing clearly, she also stopped talking.

Li Xingyu's hand was still in Qingqi's hand, and he didn't know how much longer he would have to clean it. He was puzzled when he heard Qingyao and Hanqing suddenly stop talking.

Li Xingyu is not feeling unwell now, so her previously panicked heart has calmed down.

Qingqi is performing the final step of disinfecting Li Xingyu's hands: ultrasonic disinfection.

Just to be on the safe side, Qingqi had already used chemical and biological disinfection methods on Li Xingyu's hands, and now they were doing the final step of physical disinfection.
