Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Hiss hiss hiss~ (Little one, little one, Mommy's here, Mommy's here.)" The adult bamboo viper kept hissing. Li Xingyu didn't say anything, but silently moved the little green a little closer to the big snake.

Xiaoqing had been burrowing in Haoyue's fur and crawling on Li Xingyu's hand, so her scent was a bit mixed up. Li Xingyu had Xiaoqing blown around in the wind to help dissipate their smells.

"Hiss~ (?)" Xiaoqing tilted her head, indicating her confusion about Li Xingyu's actions.

"Aww~ If nothing unexpected happens, she is your mother. You just smelled of me and Haoyue. Get closer so she can recognize you." Li Xingyu explained, sensing Xiao Qing's vague thoughts.

Since Xiaoqing had just hatched, she mostly relied on instinct and couldn't clearly express her meaning, so Haoyue helped her explain things at first.

"Hiss hiss hiss~ Baby, my baby, Mommy has finally found you! How did you get here? Mommy was so worried." Little Green's mother shrunk her body to about two meters long, crawled in front of Li Xingyu, raised half of her body, and finally confirmed that the baby in Li Xingyu's hand was the one she had been searching for for several hours.

"Ahem, well, Little Green's mom, don't get agitated, it's like this...blah blah blah." Li Xingyu explained Haoyue's explanation to Snake Mother.

"Sisi~ (Oh, I'm so sorry to trouble you all so late in coming to visit. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I'm sorry to have bothered you so much tonight. I'll take Xiaoqing back now.)" Xiaoqing's mother flicked her tail and pulled out a bunch of bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots from somewhere, placing them in front of Li Xingyu.

"It's alright, I won't bother you. Xiaoqing is very well-behaved and beautiful. Are you taking Xiaoqing back now?" Li Xingyu took Xiaoqing's mother's things.

After confirming that they were leaving soon, I sent a message to Xinghe after receiving a positive reply.

Li Xingyu asked Xinghe to pack one-fifth of the braised pork into a thermal container, intending to give it to Xiaoqing and the others. Fortunately, they made a lot of braised pork today, and the rest was enough for them.

"Please wait a moment. We originally invited Xiaoqing to have dinner at our house, but since you're in a hurry to go back, and the food is almost ready, let's pack some as a return gift." As Li Xingyu spoke, Xinghe came out with a thermal container.

The braised pork was already cooked; the long simmering only made the meat more tender and flavorful. Anyway, the snake was swallowed whole, so it didn't matter whether it was tender or not.

The insulated box had excellent heat insulation properties. Li Xingyu took the box from Xinghe and held it in her hand without feeling any heat.

Li Xingyu placed Xiaoqing on the lid of the insulated box and gently tapped Xiaoqing's head: "Goodbye, welcome to come again next time, but remember to tell your parents."

After uttering a question, Xiao Qing fell silent. Sensing his mother's presence, he nodded upon hearing Li Xingyu's words, indicating that he understood.

"Little Qing's mom, here you go. You're welcome to visit my home next time." Li Xingyu said as she pushed the insulated box toward the snake mother.

Haoyue meowed beside her, expressing her apology and goodbye: "Meow meow meow~ (Mommy Xiaoqing, I'm sorry about today. Xiaoqing, see you next time, I'll come to play with you.)"

"Hiss hiss hiss~ (Thank you, human cub and kitten cub. It seems Xiaoqing has made two very good friends.)" The snake mother glanced at the three people behind Li Xingyu and gently swept her tongue across Li Xingyu and Haoyue's faces.

Then the mother snake gently rolled up the insulated box with her tail, and the box disappeared. Little Green was carried by the mother snake, who flicked her tail and then darted into the nearby jungle.

"Goodbye. Let's go, let's go back too." After saying that, Li Xingyu put the things left by the snake mother into her storage space, picked up Haoyue who was only a little taller than her ankles, and stood up to greet the three people standing behind her.

Carrying Haoyue back to the living room and sitting down, Li Xingyu briefly explained the situation to the others, then rubbed Haoyue's soft belly and asked, "Did you finish exploring the neighborhood this afternoon?"

Haoyue purred contentedly, making soft "hmm hmm" sounds: "Mmm~ (Yeah, I've gotten bigger, and I'm super fast now.)"

"Did you encounter anything interesting?" Although Li Xingyu had lived here for many years, she only had a general understanding of the surrounding area, apart from where her relatives lived.

"Meow~ (There are lots and lots of bamboo, and round, big leaves and pretty flowers in the water, and lots of strange grass, fragrant fruits and lots of animals growing in square plots.)" Haoyue tried her best to describe what it saw to Li Xingyu.

"Wow~ You remembered so much! Then let's go play together sometime." Li Xingyu listened to Haoyue's description and had a general idea in mind.

Hmm... it should be bamboo groves, lotus ponds, rice paddies, orchards, and the animals that live nearby. Wow, I can go to so many places this holiday! Just thinking about it makes me happy.

"Meow~ (Okay, okay.)" Haoyue responded by hooking her tail around Li Xingyu's wrist.

"Little Feather, it's almost time for the braised pork." Li Xingyu was engrossed in petting the cat when Xinghe's gentle voice came from beside her.

"Ah~ it's almost done, it smells so good." Li Xingyu petted Haoyue again and then put it on the sofa. To be honest, even though it had been running around outside for several hours, it wasn't dirty at all.

Hearing Xinghe and Li Xingyu's conversation, everyone immediately perked up. The aroma of the braised pork had been tempting them for almost half an hour, and they were finally going to get to eat it!

Li Xingyu and Xinghe walked towards the kitchen, followed by a bunch of big tails.

Li Xingyu and Xinghe skipped the restaurant and went straight to the kitchen. The big tails set out the bowls and chopsticks and sat down in the restaurant.

Li Xingyu first instructed Xinghe to turn up the heat of the braised pork and stir it constantly until the sauce thickened, then it was ready to be served.

Xinghe washed her hands clean and, as Li Xingyu had instructed, went to adjust the heat and get a spatula.

She took out the suspension board, which was still 60 centimeters high, washed her hands, and began to put the rendered lard into containers.

Li Xingyu sighed inwardly at her own memory, she had almost forgotten, but Xinghe asked her about it and she remembered that she had added some water and started boiling it before leaving the kitchen.

Vegetables look and taste better when stir-fried with lard. Li Xingyu thought to herself as she scooped out the cracklings from the oil.

Then pour the oil into a covered bowl and leave it there, leaving a little in the pan for stir-frying.

Pour the eggplant into the pan and sauté over low heat until softened, then remove and set aside.

Pour a little oil into the pan, add diced scallions and ginger, sauté until fragrant, then add the minced meat and stir-fry.

Add some chopped chili peppers and stir-fry a few times.

Next, pour the reserved eggplant into the pot, add salt, stir-fry over high heat for two or three minutes, and it's ready to serve.

Xinghe had already served the braised pork on the counter; it was a bright red color and glistening with moisture. It looked delicious.

"Xinghe, help me smash the cucumber, then cut it in half, and then cut it into pieces about three centimeters long." Li Xingyu put the minced meat and eggplant on a plate and took a small bowl to prepare a sauce for smashing the cucumber.

Li Xingyu stared blankly at the floating ball that flew in front of her, then remembered that she seemed to be live-streaming. Her hand holding the seasonings paused for a moment before she began to explain.

"Add some salt, vinegar, light soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix the four seasonings in a ratio of 2:6:1:1. This sauce can also be used to dress other boiled vegetables or meats. You can adjust the flavor to your liking."

Just then, Xinghe brought over a bowl of sliced ​​cucumber.

Li Xingyu handed him the sauce: "Pour this in, then stir well, and that's it."

Xinghe took the small bowl from Li Xingyu's hand, glanced at the minced meat and eggplant next to Li Xingyu, and seemed to see Xiaoyu adding millet peppers to it: "Okay."

Li Xingyu noticed Xinghe's gaze and assumed he wanted to eat. She took a clean pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, picked up a piece of eggplant, caught it with her hand, and handed it to Xinghe: "Try it?"

Xinghe looked at the eggplant in front of her. It smelled delicious and looked pretty good. She opened her mouth and ate a piece of eggplant with her chopsticks. After chewing for a moment, her light blue pupils lit up: "Delicious!"

"That's right." Li Xingyu puffed out her chest proudly, her pride practically overflowing. "There's no dish in my great China that's not delicious, except for personal reasons, haha."

Xinghe chewed on the eggplant in her mouth, her eyes shining as she looked at Li Xingyu.

Li Xingyu felt that the Milky Way looked especially like the bright moon, both ethereal and adorable.

She patted Xinghe on the shoulder, signaling him to get back to work, and then turned the barrage of comments back on. The sparse comments slowly scrolled by, still incomplete. She raised an eyebrow: "Is... nobody here?"

He glanced at the number of online viewers with a puzzled look, then quickly looked away, startled by the long string of numbers: "Why are the comments like this?"

As soon as Li Xingyu finished speaking, a large amount of "wailing" and garbled text rushed out, interspersed with a few lines that looked slightly normal.

[Aa ...

[Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh X﹏X]

[So delicious! So delicious! So delicious!]

[%&*%唠@*&$吼吼次*@$*&……]

[Awwwww~ This braised pork and minced pork with eggplant is so delicious! I love it! Your Highness is amazing! I love this Your Highness the most!]

Li Xingyu finally figured out the reason amidst a bunch of messy comments. She turned on holographic sharing, and her viewers, captivated by the aroma of the dishes, immediately began their feast.

Holographic sharing allows them to touch everything except people, including smells, temperature, wind, etc.

However, these are just data and cannot be converted into energy for them to use. So, although they can eat food, they only have taste and touch; their bodies do not actually experience the sensations of eating food.

For example, as long as there is braised pork in the live stream, and holographic sharing is enabled, the viewers in the live stream can keep eating braised pork, experiencing taste, smell, and touch.

Li Xingyu sighed and asked Xinghe to put the minced meat and eggplant, braised pork, and the cucumber salad he had just prepared on the counter: "Then you guys can 'eat' slowly, I won't turn the camera around."

Why should Xinghe put the dishes together?

Because Li Xingyu couldn't carry the dishes, the portions were too big, and she was afraid she would eat them all by herself, plate and all.

After adjusting the levitation ball, Li Xingyu began preparing the next dish—shredded pork with green peppers. She also asked Xinghe to sprinkle salt on the pork cracklings, chop the tomatoes, sprinkle a layer of white sugar on them, and place them all on the counter.

Wash the pot clean.

First, add cooking wine, salt, and a little starch to the shredded pork and mix well. Add salt to the green peppers and mix well as well.

Heat oil in a pan, add some chopped chili peppers and minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the marinated shredded meat and stir-fry until it changes color.

Add cooking wine and soy sauce and stir-fry evenly. Then add the salted green peppers to the pot and stir-fry evenly. Finally, add a little vegetable oil and you're done!

Remove from the pan and plate.

Just as Li Xingyu was about to call Xinghe over to serve the dishes, a pair of slender, fair hands with distinct knuckles reached out and picked up the dishes from the side of the pot.

Li Xingyu turned her head and met Xinghe's bright, sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, Xinghe."

"You're welcome. It's my honor to be able to help Xiao Yu Mao." Xing He looked tenderly at Li Xing Yu, who was smiling brightly at him.

Li Xingyu's ear tips turned slightly red. Why did she feel a little embarrassed and her heart was racing?

Smelling the increasingly rich aroma of the dishes in the air, Li Xingyu cleared her mind of all the random thoughts and began preparing the next dish—stir-fried green beans.

As usual, wash the pot first.

Add a little more oil than before, and when the pan starts to smoke, put the drained green beans into the pan and stir-fry until the skin of the green beans wrinkles slightly. Then set the green beans aside.

Leave a little oil in the pan, turn the heat to medium, add the dried chili peppers, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the green beans, salt, and soy sauce. Turn the heat to high and stir-fry quickly to mix the ingredients evenly.

The dried chili peppers were obtained by Li Xingyu and Xinghe from Ryan.

After Xinghe took the stir-fried green beans away, Li Xingyu asked the robot to help wash the pot and started preparing the last dish.

Washing the pots myself is out of the question; there are robots now, so why bother doing it manually? If I did it myself, what would be the robot's purpose?

The last dish was stir-fried water spinach.

This is probably the simplest dish tonight.

Heat the wok and add cold oil. Li Xingyu used freshly rendered lard. When the oil was about 60% hot, that is, when it started to smoke, she added minced garlic to the wok and sautéed it until fragrant.

Quickly put the water spinach that has been picked, washed, and drained into the pot and stir-fry over high heat.

Stir-fry until the leaves and stems are wilted and soft, then add salt and continue stir-frying. Once evenly mixed, remove from heat and plate.

Li Xingyu looked at the large plate of water spinach and shook her head. She almost couldn't fit it all in the pot at first, and after cooking it, there was only half a pot left. The water had shrunk so much.

Xinghe stood to the side and behind Li Xingyu, which allowed him to observe Li Xingyu's cooking process without getting in her way.
