Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Little Feather, are you going to livestream while you're cooking?" Xinghe glanced at the time and turned to ask Li Xingyu beside him.

The group has now reached the first floor and is heading towards the kitchen.

"What time is it now?" Li Xingyu asked, puzzled.

"10:48 AM, Earth Time".

They just spent almost two hours in the dance studio.

"Hmm... then let's do a live stream. Although I did a little more exercise this morning than usual, I also ate breakfast a little later than usual. But are you guys hungry now?" Li Xingyu tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking a question.

In fact, Li Xingyu and Xinghe were discussing whether or not to use the time accelerator that was not yet available on the market. The main point was that you could use it, but you couldn't use it in public.

Even if both parties are fully aware of the truth, they cannot leave behind any substantial evidence.

The food I'm going to make today isn't very complicated, it's just that there are a few different kinds.

However, Li Xingyu and his group were quite large, consisting of five head chefs and five apprentices, which was sufficient.

"Good morning everyone! Today's food live stream is about to begin. Are you all ready?" After greeting Xinghe and the others, Li Xingyu released her floating ball and started the live stream.

Li Xingyu casually brought up the bullet screen, glanced at the string of greetings and eager comments, and then swiped it aside. She had to cook later and wouldn't have much free time to interact.

"Because yesterday was a bit eventful, we're treating ourselves to a big meal today, and we wanted to show it to you all," Li Xingyu joked with her viewers as she set up the camera's field of view on the levitating sphere.

"What flavor of hot pot would you like to have for lunch today?" Li Xingyu looked at the kitchen, which was full of ingredients, and turned to discuss with everyone.

Aside from tomato broth and some more unusual flavors, Li Xingyu isn't picky about food; each has its own appeal.

"Hmm... how about a hot pot with spicy butter and seafood/mushrooms?" Yufinal excitedly raised his hand.

Both flavors are an ultimate treat for the taste buds, and both are classic flavors, making it impossible to choose between them.

While it offers more flavor options, considering the number of diners, a half-and-half hot pot is the best choice.

These two flavors cater to everyone's dietary preferences, and there are also dipping sauces to enhance the texture and taste.

Therefore, both flavors were unanimously approved.

The viewers in the live stream were chatting happily, and some were even urging Li Xingyu and his team to get the company up and running quickly, saying that their stomachs and wallets were ready.

Previously, Li Xingyu had already announced on the StarNet after Li Shihhan and Fu Jinzhou stated that they would only manage Food Flavors China, so these urgings were within their expectations.

Although Li Xingyu doesn't read the comments much, Elnis and Yufinal are lively people who like to watch fun things, so they read out all the funny comments in the live stream.

Especially Elnes, who will be one of the head chefs later, is currently mentally simulating the cooking steps.

"Pfft, the company is currently under renovation, and we might hire a new batch of employees later."

"The employee benefits are quite generous, you can keep an eye on the news on StarNet if you're interested." Li Xingyu was amused by the comments read out by Elnis, and thinking that since they were going to be recruiting soon anyway, she might as well give a heads-up.

Li Xingyu and Elnis were in charge of making the hot pot broth, and she mentioned it briefly. They would start working on the recruitment later.

Although Elnis is usually quite cheerful and lively, he is very serious and efficient when it comes to work, and he works very well with Li Xingyu.

The two of them first prepared the seafood and mushroom hot pot base. Apart from having too many ingredients and needing to pay attention to the timing of adding them and whether the mushrooms were cooked, there were no other precautions.

Of course, this applies to Li Xingyu.

Elnis was only responsible for handing things to Li Xingyu and stirring them from time to time. He listened to Li Xingyu's words the whole time, doing exactly what he was told.

"Next up is the spicy beef tallow hot pot base. El, put this on your face, or you'll feel uncomfortable for a long time later." Li Xingyu handed a white air filter, which looked like a mask, to Elnis next to her.

This air filter was custom-made by Li Xingyu from the research department. She ordered a large batch and stored them in her own storage space, specifically to deal with overly irritating air.

As for why it was customized by the Alliance's Research Department?

The main reason is that they own the copyright and their reputation is trustworthy.

Don't think that customizing this air filter is difficult. As long as you have the money, anything is possible. Moreover, the research department does have a business license.

Otherwise, relying solely on the funding approved by the alliance, their research wouldn't be as free as it is now.

A normal air filter is like a bodysuit, completely covered from head to toe, with not a single hair showing.

However, since Li Xingyu only needs to filter the air she breathes, the research department has not yet sold any similar products.

So Li Xingyu went directly to the shop she had been following when she bought the rolling pin.

"An air filter? Little Feather is so thoughtful." Elnis took the mask from Li Xingyu and raised an eyebrow.

"It's alright, because the smell of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers spreads too quickly in the air, and I didn't want to be forced to cry." Li Xingyu nodded, accepting Elnis's praise.

Air filter: True to its name, it can filter any air that is not suitable for breathing into oxygen that can be breathed.

Li Xingyu took out a bunch of air filters from her storage space, gave some to Elnis first, and then walked over to the others.

Although only Li Xingyu and Elnis were closest to the pot, there were more than just the two of them in the kitchen, so their safety still needed to be considered.

Turn on the air purifier made by Xinghe, and the preparations are complete.

Fortunately, the ingredients were all prepared, otherwise Li Xingyu and the others might not have been able to enjoy their big lunch today.

"Crack!"

The sound of chili peppers hitting the oil filled the air. Li Xingyu was incredibly grateful that she was wearing an air filter, otherwise she might have turned into a sneezing machine.

Although I certainly wouldn't hit the pot, just thinking about it makes me feel like it will affect my appetite later.

Li Xingyu and her team were equipped with air filters and air purifiers, but the viewers in her live stream did not have these devices.

Moreover, in order to clearly capture the production steps, the floating ball is not far from the pot.

In an instant, sneezes echoed throughout the interstellar space.

The culprit behind this scene is now intently watching the chili peppers in the pot.

Yufinal had just finished grilling a round of small skewers and, during a break, turned her gaze to the barrage of comments in mid-air, her bright, watery eyes curving into crescents.

"Little Feather, you're so kind." Li Xingyu poured the roasted peppercorns that Elnis handed over into the pot, and then heard Yufinar's muffled voice.

"Hmm?" Li Xingyu uttered a sound of confusion, his hands continuing to stir, his gaze fixed on Yu Fenar.

“Little Feather must have always been thinking about us, otherwise she wouldn’t have prepared so many air filters for us.” Yufinal touched the air filter on her face and looked at Li Xingyu earnestly.

The others also shifted their attention slightly, as they all took Li Xingyu's matter very seriously.

"..." Li Xingyu glared at Yu Fernal with a mixture of embarrassment and resentment before turning her head away.

Li Xingyu's reaction proved that Yu Fenar was right. However, his words were too blunt, lacking any restraint or tact, as he was too thin-skinned and wanted to protect the protagonist.

One-sided severance for one second.

There are many races in the interstellar world, and different races have different habits and ways of expressing emotions.

Some races are more reserved and subtle; others are more straightforward and generous; some are romantic and gentle; others are passionate and courteous...

Unfortunately, succubi are always straightforward and passionate in expressing their feelings, while humans are reserved and introverted.

Therefore, this situation also falls under the category of racial clashes.

However, having established diplomatic relations for so many years, both sides have some understanding of each other's ethnicity.

"Oh, thank you, little feather! I'm so happy." Yufinal knew that the human girl, who was reserved and shy, was embarrassed, but she still expressed her feelings earnestly and directly.

If I don't say it now, I won't be able to keep it inside any longer.

Humans are great in every way, except they are just too subtle and indirect in expressing their feelings.

This was the shared thought in Xinghe and the others in Li Xingyu's live stream, except for the human race.

Although the angels and elves, who are primarily pure and romantic in expressing their feelings, are not as straightforward as other races, they are still quite direct and bold compared to humans.

The manufacturing specifications for air filters are quite strict; even custom-made ones require detailed data.

The air filters that Xinghe and the others wore on their faces seemed to be custom-made for them, fitting perfectly to the lines of their faces.

"Mmm." Li Xingyu lowered her eyelashes, watching the ingredients constantly bubbling in the pot. Her voice was barely audible, and her fair ears under her hair were completely red.

I received your messages; you're welcome.

A faint yet clear voice rang in Xinghe and the others' hearts, drawing everyone's attention to Li Xingyu.

Li Xingyu seemed oblivious to the gazes Xinghe and the others were giving her, and gestured for Elnis to give her the chili flakes.

If you look closely, it's not hard to see Li Xingyu's stiff posture and her eyes that are avoiding everyone's gaze.

The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became subtle.

The adult viewers in the live stream could roughly guess what had happened, but they didn't really care.

Everyone has their own way of getting along with others, and although I may not fully understand it, that doesn't prevent me from respecting it.

Besides, the Terran race's reserved way of expressing emotions is already well-known in StarCraft, so it's not too surprising.

In such a vast world, who doesn't know one or two Terrans?

"Little Feather, our drinks are almost ready. What do we need to do next?" Michael broke the awkward silence in the kitchen.

I guess that heartfelt sentiment was something Little Feather had gathered up all the courage and shyness she'd been holding onto. In that case, let's change the subject.

"Our barbecue is almost finished. What are the plans next?" Cain's thoughts coincided with Michael's.

"Alright, El, could you scoop out some of the broth from the pot?"

"Just keep what we have for lunch today, about one-fifth. I'll go prepare the ice cream." Li Xingyu composed herself, savoring the unfamiliar emotions for a moment, and then made arrangements for what to do next.

"Okay, you can leave Little Feather to me without worry. I've been looking forward to ice cream for a long time." Elnis's face was beaming with a bright and cheerful smile, like a radiant little sun.

"Thank you for your hard work, El. I'll prepare your favorite cantaloupe flavor." Li Xingyu was infected by Elnis's smile, and a smile also appeared on her usually expressionless face.

“Okay.” Elnis’s smile brightened even more. Humans are truly a race that makes people feel both gentle and powerful.

"Next, we'll prepare ice cream and fried rice. All the ingredients are here." Li Xingyu walked with a smile towards the ice cream machine.

The braised dishes were already being prepared when Xinghe and the others were gathering the ingredients, because they had left over some braising liquid. All they had to do was set up the pot, put in the ingredients they wanted to eat, and then turn on the heat.

So all that's missing for lunch is ice cream.

This ice cream machine was improved by Xinghe and Li Xingyu. Except for the initial step of putting in the ingredients, which requires manual intervention, all other steps can be automated.

"This is our newly restored ice cream machine. As long as you put in the corresponding ingredients, you can make ice cream."

"Ice cream is a dessert that's perfect for summer and hot weather. I'm sure you'll like it." Li Xingyu looked up at the floating sphere and explained.

"Put milk and cream here, and you can put your favorite fruits or flavors here."

"However, if the ice cream machine is to be sold publicly, the mechanical race should use only materials they can accept, otherwise there may be internal problems." Li Xingyu gave some reminders to the viewers in the live stream while pouring milk into an ingredient storage box.

Since Li Xingyu witnessed the diversity of interstellar races on the StarNet, she has taken the time to learn about the characteristics of each race.

To avoid causing problems for others, at least it might be a matter of carelessness on both sides, but at worst it could escalate into racial issues.

Although the possibility is not very high, it's still good to mention it; it doesn't take much effort.

Strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, cantaloupe...

"Let's make these flavors for now. We'll add other flavors after we've tried them." Xinghe and the others selected a few fruits that they all ate and put them into the other empty ingredient storage boxes.

"Alright, let's start making it now." Li Xingyu glanced at the raw materials in the food storage box, then looked up at Xinghe with anticipation.
