Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Little Feather, we're all done."

Li Xingyu was looking at meat on his personal computer when he heard Xinghe and Tianshu's voices. There was still some seasoning left over from yesterday, so there was no need to scoop out so much today.

Li Xingyu dug up one clump of ginger and then stopped. The clump she just dug up was too big, so she probably wouldn't need to dig any more ginger for the next couple of days.

"Is Little Feather looking at meat?" Xinghe moved closer to Li Xingyu and came to her side as she stood at the edge of the field. He saw her browsing the interface. Because the screen was a bit too big, and Li Xingyu's personal computer screen was semi-transparent, it was hard not to see it.

"Hmm, I'll take a look first. I can buy it when I get back. Anyway, I still need to process those vegetables." Li Xingyu glanced at Xinghe and then gestured to the cabbage that Li Xinghua had just put down at her feet.

“Yes, is this enough?” Xinghe nodded in agreement with Li Xingyu, and then lifted the scallions he had dug up a little higher.

"Hmm, that's enough for tomorrow and the day after. Oh, and enough garlic too. We just need to pick vegetables for the next two days." Li Xingyu said halfway through when she saw Tian Shu walking towards her with the basket in his hand.

"Little Feather, can I have your personal terminal? I'll activate the home access for you; Great-Grandma and the others have agreed." Xinghe looked at Li Xingyu's personal terminal and smiled as Li Xingyu, who was still looking at the dishes, said.

"Hmm? What kind of permission?" Li Xingyu asked, somewhat puzzled. He still handed the computer screen back to Xinghe, who could operate Li Xingyu's computer. This permission was granted by Li Xingyu.

The quantum computer can only be used by the bound user or by someone the bound user has authorized. This authorization means that the bound user can enter other people's information into the quantum computer.

If the binder and the licensor use the optical computer at the same time and issue different commands, the optical computer will prioritize executing the binder's command.

Li Xingyu has granted access to his family's personal computer, so they can all use it. However, they generally won't look at Li Xingyu's personal computer unless Li Xingyu allows them to. This is to respect the children's right to privacy and also to instill confidence in them from the environment of the interstellar world.

Xinghe took the quantum computer and operated it for a while under Li Xingyu's curious gaze, then moved the screen back in front of her: "Okay, I've approved your right to use the family's public funds. Now this part of the funds is open to you. You can use it directly. Just write down how you want to use it."

"Huh? Why are you giving me this?" Li Xingyu looked at the light brain screen that Xinghe had moved in front of her, somewhat puzzled.

"You used your own pocket money to buy groceries on StarNet before, right? Our family has a special fund for food, so we don't need yours." Delas had almost finished picking all the peppers and was just about to switch to another kind when he came out and heard Li Xingyu and Xinghe's conversation.

As Delas approached Li Xingyu and Xinghe, he said, "You only have a little bit of the gifts from the live stream in less than two days and your usual allowance. You can keep it and buy whatever you like. Our family hasn't reached the point where we need to use your allowance. Once is fine, but if it happens twice more, your grandpa Delas will be upset."

"Your great-grandmother and grandmother are already discussing with your mother how to make your little stash bigger. After a couple more times, they'll be stuffing money directly into your storage space and your personal terminal." Delas moved to a different chili pepper patch, still teasing Li Xingyu.

"Huh? This can't be that bad." Li Xingyu was looking at the interface on her personal computer, while Xinghe was guiding her through the operation.

Li Xingyu let the hovering ball fly to a secluded spot where no one was around; it was best for her personal computer to stay out of the frame for now.

Following Xinghe's guidance, Li Xingyu arrived at the family funds page. Looking at the dozen or so figures on it, Li Xingyu couldn't help but feel glad that she had let the levitating ball fly away.

"These amounts are transferred to my family after my monthly salary is settled. It's only one-seventh of my salary. The reason it's so much is because we don't usually have any major expenses," Xinghe explained to Li Xingyu, seeing her surprised expression.

"It's just food, clothes made by the family for each season, water and electricity, and maintenance supplies for some machines." Xinghe explained while teaching Li Xingyu how to operate the system and guiding her to look at the income and expenditure details.

"Wow~ My tuition is also paid for here?" Li Xingyu flipped through the pages and saw her name.

“Yes, all our tuition fees are deducted from this.” Xinghe glanced at where Li Xingyu was looking and nodded.

"Okay then. Hey, Tian Shu, I even saw your name!" Li Xingyu tugged at Tian Shu, who was about to leave, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm?" Tian Shu stopped walking to the side when he heard Li Xingyu's words. He had only come to meet up with Xiao Xingxing and Xinghe, so he came over with a basket. He didn't expect Xinghe to be explaining these things to Xiao Xingxing.

Tian Shu originally wanted to leave, but Xing He gestured for him not to avoid it, saying it was nothing and he could learn about it. However, after listening for a while, Tian Shu still felt a little uncomfortable, so he planned to move a little further away. He didn't expect Li Xing Yu to see his name on it.

"Oh, this is because I had just formed my physical body not long ago and was a little unaccustomed to it. Since the only system with a physical form was Xinghe, I stayed here for quite a while. I couldn't just stay here for nothing, so I gave Xinghe my living expenses here, and he transferred them here in my name." Tian Shu looked at the message that Li Xingyu was pointing to, thought for a moment, and then explained to her.

"Oh, I see." Li Xingyu looked at the income and expenditure details, seemed to be deep in thought, then exited the interface and went back to looking at her dishes. Fine, she'll use them.

It's like your mom giving you a hundred dollars and asking you to buy some groceries. Except now the money is a huge sum. So what? You can't starve yourself, can you? Isn't it better not to use your own money?

Xinghe and Tianshu watched Li Xingyu's actions without saying anything, only admiring her good attitude.

"Um... this, this, this, and this, okay, that's enough for now." Li Xingyu waved her hand, summoned the floating ball over, and had it tap her personal computer screen.

Li Xingyu bought a pomfret on Xingwang. This fish is perfect for braising. It is not only delicious but also very nutritious. It is a Fujian dish.

I also bought spare ribs, beef brisket, pre-processed chicken and duck, beef chuck, pork tenderloin, pork rump, and pork belly (real pork belly with three layers of fat and lean meat), as well as dozens of chicken feet.

Those special parts were cut out only after Li Xingyu drew a diagram for the merchant. The chicken feet were a gift from the merchant where she bought the chicken, because she thought chicken feet didn't taste good, with neither meat nor tendons, and they basically ended up in the robot's fuel tank.

"These are all the ingredients I bought. They don't necessarily have to be exactly the same; the same varieties are fine too. If you want to follow along, just make three to five dishes. Making too many is a waste of food, which isn't good." Li Xingyu looked at the newly displayed comments and interacted with her viewers in her live stream by pointing to her personal computer screen.

Xiao Yuli: [Don't worry, Xiao Xingyu, we don't have the capacity to serve too much anyway, and don't underestimate our appetite, okay?]

It's a duck~: [Your Highness, don't overestimate us. We're lucky if we can even cook one edible dish, but don't underestimate our appetite either.]

Wolf, Not Dog: [Anyone interested in a partner? I can handle all the ingredients. I'm located on the main planet of the Beast Star. Looking for someone who can cook. We'll split the profits 50/50.]

It's Tiger Brother: [Selling fresh pork and beef. Click my profile picture if interested.]

………………

"Wow~ It's so lively." Li Xingyu exclaimed as she looked at the diverse barrage of comments.

"Alright, then you guys prepare yourselves. If you want to follow along, I'll try to explain in as much detail as possible. Also, you need to eat vegetables too. Even if you don't like them, you still need to have a balanced diet." Li Xingyu mentioned a balanced diet again, and then stopped looking at the comments.

"Little Feather, I'm back!" Li Xinghua ran excitedly towards Li Xingyu, followed by Lost, who was carrying a basket full of amaranth with green edges and purple center.

"Little Feather, is this enough?" Lost asked, holding a basket and handing it to Li Xingyu.

“Okay, Mr. Lost, that’s enough, thank you for your hard work. Grandpa Rice, Grandpa Delas, are you done?” Li Xingyu glanced at the amaranth in Lost’s basket, nodded, then looked around and, not seeing the two grandfathers picking chili peppers, called out.

"Hey~ Little Feather, we're here. We've finished picking them." Delas, carrying a basket, walked over from behind Li Xingyu's left and right, calling out to Li Xingyu.

"Wow, Grandpa Delas, Grandpa Rice, you picked so many!" Li Xingyu looked at the baskets the two were carrying. Different varieties of peppers were piled up in heaps, and different colors were even placed next to each other. It was amazing.

"It's alright, not too much. Has Little Feather already bought the meat?" Li Xingyu's personal computer screen was still lit up, and she hadn't exited the shopping interface. She was wondering whether to buy a big bag of rice all at once, since the dishes today seemed to go well with rice.

“Little Feather, we have a lot of this rice at home, but it hasn’t been husked yet. You can buy a bag to eat first, and tomorrow we’ll see if we can husk the rice in the storage room, then we won’t need to buy any more.” Rice saw Li Xingyu’s computer interface and recalled how Ryan had processed the rice he used to grow.

Ryan grows a lot of things, but he keeps most of them for himself. After all, they are the fruits of his hard work in researching and cultivating, and it wouldn't be good to sell them. So he puts a small portion in his own storage space and the rest in the underground storage room of the Li family's ancestral home.

Beneath the ancestral home of the Li family lies a vast underground storage room, occupying almost a third of the Li family's land centered around the ancestral home. It extends dozens of meters underground and does not affect the existence of basements in other households.

This storage room used to be a strategic location, and now, apart from the older members of the alliance, almost no one else knows much about it.

Because of the Li family's deliberate arrangements, they did not want their family to be constantly under public scrutiny. Therefore, they intentionally or unintentionally kept the Li family away from the public eye. The presence of the Li family in the interstellar world was enough through the presence of Great-Grandma Li and Grandma Li. The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it.

Because of Xinghe and Tian Shu, the alliance was quite cooperative, or rather, it was the situation they wanted to see.

Hearing what Rice said, Li Xingyu nodded and bought a 50-kilogram bag of rice, the same one from last night. It tasted pretty good, so she chose that one. She hadn't tried the others yet, but they should all be alright.

"Are you all ready?" Hilfiel walked slowly out from the depths of the plantation, holding a pumpkin in one hand.

"Um, Grandpa Hilfiel, this pumpkin?" Li Xingyu looked at the pumpkin in Hilfiel's hand with some surprise.

Are interstellar pumpkins this big? Li Xingyu looked at the pumpkin that was about the same length as her in Xifeier's hand, and compared its width. Hmm, it was much wider than her hand when it was fully outstretched.

"Hmm? Is it too small? Then I'll go pick a bigger one?" Hilfiel looked at the pumpkin in her hand, glanced at Li Xingyu with some doubt, and was about to put down the pumpkin and walk back.

"Hey, Grandpa Hiffel, you've misunderstood. I just think it's too big for us to finish." Li Xingyu quickly stopped Hiffel, afraid that he would pick an even bigger one later.

"Oh, it's alright. Aren't we going to surprise your fans tomorrow? Then let's just give away the rest of the pumpkins. There aren't many anyway." Li Xinghua shrugged, indicating that it was a small matter. There were definitely a lot of people in Xiaoyu's live stream, so giving away a couple more wouldn't be a big deal. They'd probably be overjoyed.

“Okay.” Li Xingyu nodded when he heard Li Xinghua’s words. Anyway, it was just packing a few more portions, so it wouldn’t be a big problem.

"Alright, we've finished picking them and we'll head back now. Zi'an should be home around 8:30 tonight. We'll cook dinner and surprise him." Seeing that everyone was there, Delas decided to go home. He'd already done his afternoon exercise; it was time to go home.

"Mmm, let's go home~" Li Xingyu was picked up by Li Xinghua once again and ran towards home.

Upon hearing this, Haoyue appeared out of nowhere and nimbly followed behind them.

The others looked at the vegetable baskets left behind by Li Xingyu and Li Xinghua, and helplessly watched their retreating figures, shaking their heads with smiles.

Lost and Xinghe picked up two baskets. Xinghe glanced at Li Xingyu's basket containing a piece of ginger, put the ginger into her own basket containing garlic, and then took the basket containing cabbage from Lost.

Lost nodded to Star River, picked up the empty basket, and walked towards the plantation entrance. As he passed the place where the baskets were kept, he placed the basket in the area that needed cleaning.

You can take the baskets from the plantation home. After you're done using them, a home cleaning robot will clean the baskets and return them to the plantation.
