Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

In the end, Li Xingyu and the others still didn't use the time accelerator on the porridge because they were busy making pickled vegetables and kimchi. If it weren't for the time accelerator, they wouldn't have been able to make these side dishes.

Aside from adding different ingredients to the porridge, the group spent the rest of their time preparing side dishes.

Li Xingyu only planned to do some less troublesome things, since time was indeed a bit tight right now. She would do some different types later when she remembered them.

Today's simplest recipe is pickled radish: slice the radish into thin slices or cubes, add salt and rub and stir, wash it with clean water, and then add vinegar, chili and a little lemon slice.

A slightly more complicated one is the simplest pickled vegetable:

Wash the greens and air-dry them until they are about half-dry. Cut them into thin strips and air-dry them again until they are completely softened. Then, put them into a jar and seal it for fermentation.

Under the corresponding climate, it requires a long period of three months to undergo baptism.

When the shredded greens were poured out of the jar again, their color had changed from bright green to dark green, and their taste had changed from sweet and juicy to sour and slightly moist.

At this stage, it still needs to go through a cooking process of adding chili peppers before it can become a formal dish.

"Hmm, Little Feather, is this dish ready?" Michael's voice, which was originally somewhat cold, was now full of heavy nasal sounds.

When Li Xingyu was cooking, the chili peppers were really potent, and everyone couldn't help but sneeze several times.

The viewers in Li Xingyu's live stream felt both pitiful and amused. Li Xingyu and her group only had this one dish left, and they didn't want to go through the trouble of wearing masks.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream, knowing that they could simply turn off the holographic view temporarily, still endured the spiciness, even with tears and snot streaming down their faces, just to stuff more mouthfuls of this never-before-seen dish into their mouths.

Even so, it couldn't slow down their speed and enthusiasm in feeding themselves.

Looking at the scattered complaints on the screen, Li Xingyu rubbed his nose with a hint of malice. See, isn't this the fun of live streaming during mealtimes?

"What do you guys think? Should we launch a series of dishes at Shiwei Huaxia? I feel like opening more windows and menus would be a good idea, or maybe we should open more shops?" Li Xingyu suddenly turned to Xinghe next to her and spoke, her expression thoughtful with her head down.

As soon as Li Xingyu said this, the comment section immediately became lively:

[What? What need to be added? What need to be launched?]

[Your Highness Hoshino, what is the series of dishes?]

[Your Highness Xingyu, shall we add new dishes and to the menu?]

[Your Highness, my account is ready. Where would you like to spend the money?]

[………………]

"Hmm...it seems like a good idea. As for the shop, we can start right away once the oven is ready. As for what to sell? I think everyone probably has an answer by now." Li Xingyu wasn't just teasing her audience; she had already come up with this idea when she was preparing the fried chicken.

The information I gave Li Shihhan and Fu Jinzhou this morning also included relevant details, such as a Western fast food restaurant, serving fried chicken, hamburgers, fries, and the like.

I always felt that interstellar people preferred these high-calorie foods, and even the elves and Eldar, who liked to eat vegetables and fruits, were no exception.

"As for the oven, who has the blueprint again?" Li Xingyu picked up a piece of the stir-fried pickled vegetables with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, her eyes squinting slightly from the sour and hot taste.

The stir-fried pickled vegetables have a particularly prominent sour taste on the first bite, but as you continue eating, you'll only experience the sour and spicy flavors and the crisp texture. It's simply an appetizer.

Li Xingyu squinted, savoring the taste that was different from what she remembered, before turning her gaze back to Xinghe and the others.

This pickled vegetable dish is Grandma Li Xingyu's specialty, and it's a dish she's loved since she was a child. Every time she eats this dish, it's at home. So for Li Xingyu, this dish is not only her favorite dish, but also a symbol of her connection to home.

Xinghe and the others had the same expression as Li Xingyu, but they not only tasted the flavor, they also felt a sense of sadness and nostalgia.

In fact, Li Xingyu is slow and has difficulty perceiving and empathizing with emotions, but she remembers these emotions and events very clearly.

She said she would live a good life here, that she was herself, but she wasn't herself either. Feelings aren't something that can be erased or forgotten in a short time.

Li Xingyu simply lacks empathy and understanding; it's not that she can't perceive or has no feelings.

Maybe she was thinking about more than just this dish?

"Little Feather, what happened?" Xinghe and the others exchanged glances, and finally Xinghe asked.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something related to this dish, I'll be fine in a bit." Although Li Xingyu didn't know why Xinghe asked this, she still shook her head.

Although Xinghe and the others didn't know what was going on, they could only give up after hearing what Li Xingyu said.

"Oh, Little Feather, the blueprints for that oven are with me. They've been modified and are currently in the experimental stage. Maybe Little Feather will have time to come and take a look tomorrow?" Because she had food in her mouth, it wasn't easy for her to talk, so Xinghe answered Li Xingyu's question now, which could be considered a way of changing the subject.

“Okay, send me a message when you’re doing your experiment tomorrow, and I’ll be there.” Li Xingyu nodded.

Compared to Chinese pastries and breakfasts, Li Xingyu doesn't like Western pastries as much, especially bread, because she can always taste the alcoholic fermentation in bread.

Many types of Western pastries use bread.

However, the deliciousness of the cupcakes, the sweetness of the cream, and the crispness of the cookies cannot be denied.

Li Xingyu has no resistance to Western desserts such as small cakes and cookies, especially those that look good and smell sweet.

"Once the oven is ready, we can bake some cookies and make some small cakes." After hearing this good news, Li Xingyu was already planning in her mind what kind of small cakes and cookies she would make.

"Okay. But what is the series of dishes? And what are the cookies and cakes?" Although they couldn't quite understand what Li Xingyu was saying, it didn't stop Li Yue and the others from agreeing and asking questions while looking at the barrage of comments.

Looking in the direction Li Yue was pointing, half of the comments on the bullet screen were discussing the new store news and series of dishes that Li Xingyu had mentioned, while the other half were discussing the desserts that had just been mentioned.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to explain to you guys."

A series of dishes refers to the specialty foods from different regions, which can also be called a cuisine. For example, among humans, especially the Chinese, we have eight major cuisines and many other cuisines, each with its own unique characteristics.

The eight major cuisines are Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Anhui cuisine.

Shandong cuisine is famous for its light fragrance, tenderness, and mellow flavor, and it emphasizes the preparation of clear broth and milk broth.

Sichuan cuisine is characterized by its numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors.

Cantonese cuisine emphasizes cooking methods such as pan-frying, deep-frying, braising, and stewing, and its flavor characteristics are refreshing, light, crisp, and fresh.

Jiangsu cuisine is known for its stewing, braising, and simmering techniques; it also emphasizes the preparation of broths to preserve the original flavors.

Fujian cuisine is mainly seafood and has a light flavor.

The characteristics of Zhejiang cuisine are its tender and smooth texture, rich and mellow flavor, and refreshing and non-greasy taste.

Hunan cuisine is known for its spicy, numbing, and fragrant flavors, as well as its rich taste.

Anhui cuisine often uses ham for flavoring, rock sugar for freshness, and is skilled in braising and stewing, emphasizing the art of cooking over a high temperature.

These differences in lifestyle are due to regional variations. However, the fact that they are called the eight major cuisines is simply because they are more famous, not because the food in other cuisines is not delicious.

Cuisine styles like Jiangxi cuisine and Northeastern cuisine each have their own unique characteristics and are very delicious.

"Haha, it seems everyone figured it's related to the state. You're absolutely right. After all, everyone in StarCraft knows why we humans call ourselves 'the Flower Family'." Li Xingyu smiled and turned to look at the barrage of comments, putting down her chopsticks as she explained.

In fact, the states on Blue Star are not much different from the provincial-level administrative regions and municipalities that Li Xingyu remembers; some are even just abbreviations.

However, Li Xingyu felt that, given the current territory of the Blue Star, using states to divide it was a very correct choice.

After all, previously four continental plates occupied 30% of the planet's land area, but now a single, continuous continent occupies the same proportion. One can imagine how vast its administrative regions would be.

After briefly marveling at the vastness of the planet's land area, Li Xingyu stopped paying attention to the viewers in the live stream, because the porridge was ready.

One characteristic of earthenware pots is their good sealing properties, preventing steam from constantly escaping.

But when you lift the lid of the casserole, the aroma that wafts out is truly intense, a fresh and savory fragrance that hits you right in the head and is simply irresistible.

Although the flavor is a bit complicated, and several pots of porridge have been cooked, it doesn't significantly affect the sense of smell or the immersion in the soul.

Sweet pumpkin and millet porridge, refreshing vegetable porridge, savory lean meat porridge, sweet eight-treasure porridge, and fresh and sweet fish porridge.

The five flavors are all equally delicious, making it dazzling to the eye and overwhelming to the nose.

"It smells so good, Little Feather, is this our dinner tonight?" Just as Li Xingyu and the others lifted the lid of the casserole to check if the porridge was cooked and turned off the heat, Li Shihan's voice reached everyone's ears.

"Mom? Dad Fu, Dad Lan, you've come at the perfect time. This is our dinner, just finished." Li Xingyu turned around at the sound of the voice and saw Li Shihan and the other two walking over from the kitchen door.

Li Shihhan and her two companions exchanged brief greetings with Li Xingyu and his group, and then everyone started chatting in the kitchen.

It was mainly Li Shihhan and the other two who asked the questions, and Li Xingyu and Xinghe who answered them.

Afterwards, Li Shihhan and the others felt as if they had missed many, many days in that hour.

However, considering the time it takes for kimchi and pickled vegetables to ripen, this doesn't seem wrong, does it?

After Li Xingyu and the others agreed to cook more side dishes for Li Shihan and the others after dinner, everyone packed up their things and prepared to eat.

As for the hovering ball that flew in after Li Shih-han, it had already been left behind by everyone, along with Li Xing-yu's hovering ball.

What live stream? What kind of joke?

Nothing is more important than eating.

Let them be. There's not much in the restaurant and kitchen anyway, and they can't steal the food, so there's nothing to worry about.

It's fortunate that the levitating ball operates silently, otherwise Li Xingyu and the others would definitely not have had this idea, and might not even have opened it.

how to say?

She had a feeling that someone had predicted her prediction.

Kimchi is tangy and refreshing, and even its texture is crisp and refreshing; pickled vegetables are sour and spicy, and they go perfectly with savory porridge.

"Little Feather? So, will the formulas, patents, and copyrights for these things still be registered under the group's name, just like before, and will the group control all the cooperation matters?" After finishing the last sip of fish porridge with pickled vegetables, Li Shihhan wiped her mouth with satisfaction, her expression relaxed and casual, as if it was just a casual question.

"Hmm, is there something wrong?" Li Xingyu picked up another piece of pickled radish and put it in her mouth. She looked a little puzzled, but she still answered Li Shihhan's question after swallowing the food.

Although Li Shih-han's tone, posture, and expression were all very casual, Li Xing-yu still felt that the other party wanted to discuss something with her, otherwise she wouldn't have asked this question.

After all, Li Xingyu has been doing this for quite some time now, so his sudden question must mean he has some other plans.

"Yes, you've awakened too, and Xinghe and the others have become your guardians. According to your and Huahua's wishes, it would be better if you had your own businesses."

"Although you also have shares in the Li Group, you still have to take responsibility when Xinghe and the others come." Li Shihhan's tone and expression were as if she were chatting about something trivial, only her words were more tactful.

Although Li Shih-han's words were tactful, Li Xing-yu still understood the subtext: someone is here to protect you, and although they provide food and lodging, you still have to pay them a salary and support them. Now, besides the dividends from your family's shares, you should start your own business.

"Hmm, Mom is right. We'll discuss it later. I won't send you these yet." Li Xingyu nodded in agreement, seemingly lost in thought.

If I remember correctly, Cain and Elnis seemed to have a pretty good talent for business.

Never mind, I'll just ask later.

Although Li Xingyu felt that the money she earned from live streaming and copyrights was enough, her mother must have her reasons for saying that; of course, the more money the better.

How can you be a lazy bum if you have no money?

Although Li Xingyu's dream is to live a carefree, leisurely life, that naturally requires having enough money to make someone happy.

Even if Li Shih-Han hadn't told Li Xing-Yu about this today, she would still have been trying to earn more money.

It's just that now there are nine more people to support, so the goal is a little bigger, but it's not a big problem.
