Me and My Two Bosses' Systems
Chapter 52 The 52th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person
Upon hearing Jingyuan's reply, Yushan nodded: "Could another batch of these rolling pins be produced immediately?"
"It's possible, but how many do you want to produce? Why the rush?" Jingyuan looked bewildered, but still answered Yushan's question. The production of rolling pins only required modifying the program on a wooden product production line.
"Alright, I'll apply for a production line to manufacture rolling pins as soon as possible. As for the reason, you can check the comments on our official website. I'll head back to my office now." After saying that, Yu Shan hurried back to his office. His personal computer was indeed not very good at handling official website affairs and was about to break down.
Jingyuan stared blankly at Yushan's retreating figure, opened his StarNet, found his own official website, and then said, "Oh my god, this is scary. I'd better report to the team leader first."
The official website of the research department is about to be overrun with comments, all asking about rolling pins.
Over here, Li Xingyu looked at their comments, stroked his chin, and tentatively made a suggestion: "Since everyone else is already making them, why don't you wait? My live stream has a replay, or you can find something similar to replace it for now?"
[Your Highness, how do you use this rolling pin? What should I be careful about when using substitutes?]
Seeing a bunch of similar comments, Li Xingyu looked at the dough that Xinghe and Tianshu had rolled out and told them to continue and roll the dough out a little bigger.
Then, in response to the question in the comments: "Well... a rolling pin is used to roll the dough evenly into a thin sheet. As for a substitute, a cylinder that is about the same thickness as a rolling pin, with a smooth surface, will do."
Upon hearing Li Xingyu's answer, the group of people in the live stream who had been following Li Xingyu looked left and right. Some broke off tree branches and used their supernatural abilities to smooth them out, some removed the legs or arms of their own robots, some took out their own weapons, and some even broke off their own legs...
"This thickness is about right. Just fold it up and then cut it into thin strips with a knife." Li Xingyu had already rolled out the dough and was folding it.
"Tian Shu, Xing He and I will cut this. Could you go and boil two pots of water for me? Fill both pots two-thirds full, is that alright?" Seeing that Tian Shu's knife-wielding posture was really clumsy, Li Xing Yu took the knife from his hand and asked him to boil two pots of water to cook meat slice soup and noodles later.
Li Xingyu held the knife, adjusting its weight. Xinghe, Tianshu, and the people in the live stream watched in trepidation, fearing she might accidentally stab herself.
Xinghe and Tianshu rolled out quite thin dough sheets. Li Xingyu picked up the knife and, with a "choo choo choo choo," the long strip of dough she had folded into noodles in no time.
Xinghe was cutting a little too slowly, so Li Xingyu used the hoverboard to go to Tian Shu to check if the water had boiled, and sprinkled some salt into each of them.
Seeing that the water was almost boiled, Li Xingyu poured the marinated meat slices into a pot, and then asked Xinghe and Tianshu to bring over the cut noodles and put them into the pot to cook in several batches.
Hand-pulled noodles only need to be cooked for 3-5 minutes. Li Xingyu told Xinghe and Tianshu to keep an eye on the time and take them out and put them in a bowl when the time was up.
She cooked a pot of easy-to-make meat slice soup, which she would then add to the noodles. She would just add oil and chopped green onions to the soup.
Li Xingyu also put Shanghai bok choy into the meat soup to blanch it together.
"Hey~ Grandpa Fox Yu, what brings you in?" Li Xingyu saw a red-haired figure beside her, turned around and saw that it was Fox Yu who had come to the kitchen at some point and was watching Li Xingyu cook with great interest.
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just curious." Hu Yu sniffed and then continued to watch Li Xingyu's movements.
Li Xingyu chuckled and waved his hand in front of Hu Yu: "Since Grandpa Hu Yu is so curious, why don't you do me a favor?"
"Hmm? Sure, Little Feather, what do you need Grandpa Foxy's help with?" Foxy asked, somewhat surprised and puzzled, as he rubbed Li Xingyu's head.
What help do they need at this point? Help carry it out? Aren't Xinghe and Tianshu already there? He just wants to see Xiaoyu cook with his own eyes.
"Hehe, then you have to watch carefully." Li Xingyu put the meat soup in the pot, planning to scoop it directly into a bowl later. She also opened another pot, filled it with about three centimeters of water, and then took the egg that had been sitting on the counter.
The egg was in a transparent box lined with a thick layer of hay. It looked about the same size as before, but the shell had turned a light pink.
Li Xingyu specifically bought unfertilized eggs because eggs are very easy to obtain, so the price was unbelievably low.
After glancing at the size of the pot, Li Xingyu took two.
Hu Yu looked at Li Xingyu walking over and understood: "Little Feather, do you want to boil eggs? I know how to do that."
"No, Grandpa Fox, have you ever heard of fried eggs?" Li Xingyu held two eggs and looked at Fox with a smile.
What goes best with noodles? It's definitely meat broth and a poached egg, the kind that's boiled, clean, and bouncy.
Seeing Hu Yu's puzzled look, Li Xingyu shrugged before he could answer, "Watch closely~"
The water in the pot had already boiled. Li Xingyu adjusted the temperature to prevent the water from boiling too vigorously, then cracked the eggs and poured them directly into the pot.
The egg in the pan quickly solidified into a flat poached egg. Li Xingyu then cracked another one into the pan and flipped the first one over with a spatula.
After the egg solidified, Li Xingyu turned up the heat a little. She didn't really like soft-boiled eggs, and she didn't know if others liked them either. But since it was her first time eating poached eggs, she decided to cook them thoroughly, since she had eaten boiled eggs before.
After waiting for two or three minutes, Li Xingyu scooped the two white and tender poached eggs out of the pot and placed them on a clean plate.
Li Xingyu bought eggs at a rate of two per person, so someone was needed to help cook the poached eggs. Xinghe and Tianshu were still watching the second batch of noodles when Grandpa Huyu arrived and they were conscripted.
Hu Yu looked at the poached eggs that Li Xingyu had cooked, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement.
Li Xingyu looked at Hu Yu beside her: "How about it? Do you understand now? Isn't it simple?"
Foxy nodded: "Yes, I understand. It just feels so amazing."
"Alright, now you can start too. Let's hurry, the two of us. I'm hungry, let's eat early." Li Xingyu rubbed her stomach and looked at Xinghe and Tian Shu's side. They had already scooped out the second pot of noodles.
Hu Yu walked over and took all the eggs from the kitchen counter, placed them next to Li Xingyu, and poured water into a pot next to her.
Li Xingyu and Hu Yu started cracking eggs. Li Xingyu cracked the pot full at once, and the eggs were almost a third of the way gone.
Hu Yu tried it out first and found it quite simple, so she started to learn how to do it from Li Xingyu, but she didn't do as many as Li Xingyu at once.
Li Xingyu scooped the poached eggs out of the pot and placed them on a plate. She glanced at Xinghe and Tianshu and noticed that the noodles were already cooked. Then she looked at Hu Yu, who was cooking poached eggs next to her: "Grandpa Hu Yu, the noodles are cooked. I'll go prepare them. After you finish cooking the remaining poached eggs, take them to the counter, okay?"
Fox Yu chuckled to himself. What was with Little Feather's tone of coaxing a child? Although he did find it amusing: "Okay, okay, I understand."
Li Xingyu picked up the plate with the fried eggs and went towards the kitchen counter.
"Xinghe, Tianshu, please bring the noodles and meat soup to the kitchen counter. Be careful, they're hot!" Li Xingyu instructed the two to bring the food over so she could start assembling it.
"Xinghe, do we have a really big bowl at home? About eight centimeters bigger in diameter than the bowl we used for the nutritious porridge yesterday," Li Xingyu asked Xinghe, turning to look at the noodles and soup in front of her.
When Xinghe heard the words "our home," the tips of her ears turned red again. She didn't say anything, but silently took out a stack of beautifully patterned bowls from the cabinet under the kitchen counter and placed them on the counter.
Li Xingyu took one, looked at it, and said, "It's good, perfect for eating with noodles."
Then the three of them each took a few and went to wash them.
Back at the counter, Li Xingyu took a large bowl and demonstrated to Xinghe and Tianshu: fill the bowl two-thirds full with noodles, add a little meat and vegetable soup about three centimeters from the rim, and then top with two poached eggs. A simple bowl of soup noodles is ready.
When they were halfway through serving the noodles, Hu Yu cooked the poached eggs and brought them over. The four of them then served ten portions of noodles.
Li Xingyu then asked Xinghe for a basin slightly larger than the large bowl and a bowl slightly smaller, and filled them with noodles.
The larger one is for Elentas, as I mentioned yesterday. The smaller one is for herself; she knows her own appetite.
Looking at the noodles that almost filled the counter, Li Xingyu said to the floating ball that kept flying around the counter, "Alright, if you don't bring them soon, we'll eat them all in the kitchen."
Just as Li Xingyu finished speaking, footsteps came from the kitchen doorway, along with Delas's voice: "Hey~ Little Feather, don't be so restless, we're here, we're here."
Li Xingyu was just joking. The group took out the bowls of noodles that had already been served, and Xinghe packed up Allentas's portion and sent it over.
Looking at the remaining soup and noodles, Li Xingyu asked them to come in again and take these out as well, so that anyone who needed more could add more.
After watching Xinghe put the things he was carrying on the restaurant table and walk towards the door, Li Xingyu remembered that she had just asked him what time it was in Allentas.
Xinghe remained calm: "According to the time flow on that planet, it's morning, just like us."
Li Xingyu was curious about when the insulated box arrived at that place yesterday. Xinghe, holding a bowl of noodles, explained to Li Xingyu, who was still on the floating platform, "Yesterday was noon there. Because the flow of time on that planet is faster than here, the time will be different."
Now, Li Xingyu and the others have already divided the noodles and are just waiting for Xinghe to come back so they can eat.
Today, Li Xingyu is sitting next to Tian Shu on one side and Xing He on the other.
This position was arranged intentionally or unintentionally by Grandma Li and the others. Li Xingyu knew why, because she had already confirmed the two's status as guardians.
When Xinghe returned after sending the package, he saw the group of people waiting for him to have dinner together and the empty seat next to Li Xingyu. His previously indifferent eyes warmed up, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Xinghe, come here." Li Xingyu was facing the restaurant door when she saw Xinghe walking towards her and quickly called him over.
After Xinghe sat down, Grandma Li picked up her chopsticks, took a few strands of noodles, and then the others began to eat.
The levitating ball kept flying around the restaurant. Li Xingyu also prepared an empty bowl and placed it next to the noodles and meat soup, which was for the people in the live broadcast room.
This was Xinghe and Li Xingyu's suggestion, because they also needed to eat. Once they finished eating, the people in the live stream wouldn't be able to "eat" anymore. Anyway, there were still quite a few noodles and meat soup left, so they put a bowl there and at least they could "eat" for a little longer.
As for Qingyao and Hanqing, Li Xingyu also had them scanned, and whether or not to send it to the Time Management Bureau was up to them.
The first thing Li Xingyu ate was the noodles. They were chewy and springy, and salt was already added when the noodles were made. They were also covered with the broth from the meat slices, making them incredibly delicious.
Then Li Xingyu tasted every food item in the bowl. The meat slices and eggs tasted good. Then she ate the noodles, vegetables, and soup in small bites.
"Ah~" Li Xingyu wiped her mouth with a tissue and leaned back in her chair with satisfaction.
Looking at the bowl in front of her with only a little soup left, Li Xingyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Sure enough, her appetite is just as I expected. I'm really amazing."
Looking at the others still eating, Li Xingyu lazily turned on the live chat. She had just turned off the live chat to concentrate on eating.
There are usually very few comments during meals, as everyone is engrossed in eating and can't tear themselves away, but the number is still considerable.
Li Xingyu glanced at the comments in front of her and replied casually.
Some of them reported their cooking progress to her and complained about the research department.
[Your Highness, I've made noodles too, they're delicious! It's just that my meat soup doesn't taste as good as yours.]
[Your Highness, that egg dish is so delicious! My little one really enjoyed it; he never used to like it.]
[Your Highness, the research department has only stocked a few rolling pins so far, and they're always gone in seconds. Luckily, my home is in the forest, with lots of trees around, so I made one myself.]
"Are you guys that good? You managed to replicate this just like I did? That's great. I hope you can open a restaurant soon."
"Hmm? You did pretty well too, although this fried egg wasn't that difficult. Little one? Well, you need to be careful, you can't eat too many eggs a day, or you won't be able to digest them."
"You made your own rolling pin, that's pretty good! Have you made your noodles yet?"
When Li Xingyu saw the last comment, he curiously glanced at its location and race: [Lin Mengxing, Elf].
Very good, the Elven homeworld certainly has many trees.
