Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Little Feather/Star, what's wrong?"

Xinghe and Tianshu quickly turned their gaze to Li Xingyu and asked in unison.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just startled by the floating ball. You guys continue." Li Xingyu patted her chest, reassuring herself. Don't be afraid, it's okay, I wasn't scared.

"...Why are you so close? You scared me." Speechless, she glanced at the three hovering spheres, then glared at them with a smug look before proudly controlling the hoverboard and flying towards the Milky Way.

In the three's live stream, countless viewers clutched their rapidly beating hearts, their minds filled with exclamations of "Ahhh~ So cute~".

After stir-frying the chicken feet, she started braising them, leaving Xinghe to handle the rest. Li Xingyu then flew to the cooking station on her hoverboard to prepare the next dish.

"Hmm... let me see, braised fish will do." Li Xingyu moved the necessary ingredients to the side of the pot. Xinghe and Tianshu only needed to keep an eye on the time now, so they came over to help her get the ingredients and then stood next to Li Xingyu to watch her cook.

"First, we need to prepare pomfret, ginger, garlic, dried red chili peppers, scallions, white sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine, oil, and salt. The ingredients will be sent tomorrow. If you're just following along now, it's fine as long as it looks about right." Li Xingyu first introduced the ingredients needed.

"After cleaning the pomfret by removing its internal organs, make a few cuts on the side and marinate it with a little salt and cooking wine for 15 minutes. If you don't have wine, you can use ginger and scallions. Then slice the garlic and ginger, chop the scallions, and cut the red chili peppers into rings." Li Xingyu showed the marinated fish.

The fish was also marinated after it was processed, but the time was stopped after it was marinated.

A time-stop device was placed on the countertop, covering half of it, and it was mostly filled with ingredients that needed to be marinated.

"Heat oil in a pan, add the pomfret, and pan-fry both sides until golden brown over low heat. Then add garlic slices, ginger slices, and red chili rings, along with cooking wine, soy sauce, and enough water to cover. Simmer over low heat until cooked through. Season with sugar and salt, and sprinkle with chopped green onions before plating," Li Xingyu explained while watching the fish in the pan.

“Fish cooks pretty easily. Just insert a chopstick about a centimeter behind the fish’s head. If you can easily pierce through the flesh, the fish is cooked.” After saying that, Li Xingyu thought of the strange people and abilities in the interstellar space, and then came up with another method.

"You can also observe the changes in the fish's eyes. Because the muscles of a live fish contract significantly when heated, the fish's eyes will bulge outwards after it's cooked, and the color of the fish's eyes will turn white, which means the fish is cooked." Li Xingyu glanced at the fish in the pot and found that it was cooked, so he took a large plate and put all the fish in it.

Seeing that Li Xingyu had already cooked the fish, Xinghe stepped forward, picked up the plate containing the fish, and placed it on the counter.

Xinghe and Tianshu kept a certain distance from Li Xingyu just now, afraid of scaring her. Little Feather/Star is easily frightened, so we need to be careful.

"Another one done, impressive. Next, let's make sweet and sour pork ribs, they're delicious." Li Xingyu led Xinghe and Tian Shu toward the cooking station.

"Prepare pork ribs, preferably with cartilage, sugar, vinegar, ginger, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, and you know what the wine is for." Li Xingyu placed the ingredients on the side of the pot.

I must say, this kitchen robot is quite useful. It washes the pots and pans spotless, without a trace of dirt. It's a godsend for people who don't want to wash dishes.

"After blanching the pork ribs, cook them for another thirty minutes. Don't throw away the broth; you can use it to cook noodles. It tastes pretty good." Li Xingyu set an alarm for half an hour later, noted "pork ribs," and then went to prepare the ingredients for the next dish.

"Next, let's make stir-fried beef. First, prepare the beef, preferably beef tenderloin, green chili peppers, and red chili peppers. These three can be in a 2:1:1 ratio. Then, prepare the side ingredients." Li Xingyu took out the amount she needed from the prepared seasonings and packed them away.

"Garlic, cooking oil, minced ginger and garlic, soy sauce, cornstarch, baking soda, oyster sauce, salt, and chicken bouillon. The specific weights will be sent out tomorrow; for now, just follow along and adjust accordingly." Li Xingyu placed all the ingredients by the pot. Xinghe and Tianshu had just gone to check on the dishes they were in charge of.

"Before cooking, remove the tendons and membranes from the beef and slice it thinly. Then, add a small amount of starch, baking soda, salt, cooking wine, and cooking oil to the beef, mix well, and marinate for 15 minutes. Take your time. Mine is already prepared and can be directly stir-fried."

"Then finely chop the green and red chili peppers into rings, and peel and mince the garlic. Hmm, mine is done too. Next, heat the pan, add cooking oil, and stir-fry the beef slices until they change color. Remove them and drain the oil." Li Xingyu straightened her sleeves. They had slipped down a bit earlier. She should have known better than to change them, but they really looked so good.

Li Xingyu straightened her sleeves and continued cooking, explaining as she went: "Leave some oil in the pan, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add green and red bell pepper rings and sauté until fragrant. Pour the beef into the pan, stir-fry together, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon and a little salt and stir-fry until well combined."

"Look, doesn't it look delicious?" Li Xingyu waved his hand casually, and three floating spheres flew over, giving a close-up shot.

Li Xingyu glanced smugly at the ever-present live chat comments, then immediately felt a mix of amusement and exasperation:

Xiao Yuli: [Mmm, it not only looks delicious, but it tastes really good too.]

German: [Mmm, delicious, super delicious, oh my~ it's just a little hot.]

Sheep: [Prince Xingyu is so amazing! He's so handsome, I love him so much! The food is so delicious! Waaah, why isn't Prince Xingyu my little one?]

........................

She almost forgot, she had turned on holographic mode, so her viewers in the live stream could taste it. She wondered if her great-grandmother and sister had turned on holographic mode too. Li Xingyu thought to herself, "If they haven't, wouldn't that be terrible?"

Li Xingyu forgot that the quantum computer could open multiple pages at the same time. Now, many people have three live streaming rooms open at the same time, and they are also recording the screen. At the same time, they are recording the ingredients, weights and steps that Li Xingyu said in voice-to-text, while the person is experimenting in the kitchen.

"How is it? Is it delicious? There's rice in here, you can eat it with it." Li Xingyu had the robot bring the dishes to the time-stopping area on the cooking counter, while she took out a set of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard and then gestured to the rice cooker.

After placing the bowls and chopsticks on the counter, Li Xingyu looked at the three dishes that had just been prepared and then took out the ingredients needed to make the next dish.

"The ribs will take a while, let's make some tiger-skin green peppers first. This dish requires green peppers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sugar, light soy sauce, oil, and salt." Li Xingyu grabbed the ingredients and flew towards the pot. This time, there weren't many ingredients, and they weren't heavy, so she could carry them all in one trip.

"Wash the green peppers, cut off the stems, and remove the seeds with a knife. Crush the garlic cloves, peel them, and mince them. Put the light soy sauce, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and salt into a bowl and mix well to make a sauce." Li Xingyu took a bowl and mixed the sauce.

"Pour oil into the pan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches about 90°C to 120°C. Then, arrange the green peppers in the pan. Gently press the green peppers down with a spatula and turn them over from time to time to ensure they are heated evenly," Li Xingyu said as she turned the green peppers in the pan.

"Hmph~"

"Ah sneeze~"

"Sneeze~"

When the green peppers were stir-fried, the spiciness was brought out, and the three people in the kitchen were choked and started sneezing.

"Little Feather, what's this?" Xinghe sneezed a few times, her voice slightly nasal, and her eyes were brimming with tears.

"Huh? I was making tiger-skin green peppers, but I didn't expect these peppers to be so pungent." Li Xingyu wasn't much better off; her eyes were full of tears, her eyelashes were wet, and her voice was much more nasal than Xinghe's.

"Achoo~ Little Star, why is this tiger-skin green pepper so pungent?" Tian Shu looked at Li Xingyu with teary eyes, a tear falling onto his eyelashes, which he wiped away with his fingertip.

"Ugh... Achoo~ Is there anything that can let the air out or isolate it?" Li Xingyu didn't know the chili was so spicy; she subconsciously assumed there would be a range hood in the kitchen.

However, Li Xingyu overlooked one thing: making nutritious porridge doesn't produce any oil fumes, so...

"Cough cough, achoo~ Use this, it should work." Xinghe took out something that looked like an exhaust fan from her storage space and stuck it on the outer wall.

The kitchen is connected to the dining room on two sides, and there is a room next to another wall.

"Cough cough, achoo! And this, put it on." Li Xingyu took out a few masks from her storage space and handed them to Xinghe and Tianshu.

The three of them put on their masks, and Xinghe turned on the small exhaust fan.

"This is an air purifier I made. It can absorb polluted air and turn it into fresh air. It's still in the second experimental stage, but there are basically no problems." Xinghe, wearing a mask, had a slightly muffled voice as he introduced the product he had taken out to Li Xingyu and Tian Shu.

"Oh, Xinghe is amazing! This air purifier is quite efficient." Li Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief as she felt the air gradually becoming fresher.

Taking a quick glance at the comments, Li Xingyu's lips twitched:

Wolf, Not Dog: [Your Highness, is this chili pepper absolutely necessary? I'd like to eat the dishes you've already prepared, but this chili pepper is just too spicy.]

Laiyuan Erte: [General Xinghe is the best! Thank you, General Xinghe.]

………………

Holographic viewing can be adjusted in intensity, usually at 100%, allowing you to experience the same senses as the streamer. The further you go, the less you feel.

Li Xingyu was surprised that they had endured the pungent smell of chili peppers and kept eating in order to experience the best flavor of the food.

"Sigh~ Alright, let's see if we can work on writing a program to cook for robots after we've organized the recipes. We don't need to do that now; sooner or later, we'll be able to eat three meals a day under normal circumstances." Li Xingyu turned to look at the three floating spheres, her face, covered by a mask, revealing only her fair forehead and a pair of golden eyes, which were now looking at them with a smile.

The people in the live stream were stunned for a moment, then hesitated, and finally stopped stuffing things into their mouths.

Actually, when they first tasted the food in Li Xingyu's live stream, they couldn't believe it and even thought they were being poisoned and hallucinating.

It wasn't until the next morning, when they tasted the unparalleled flavor and wonderfully rich texture again, that they truly believed that Li Xingyu had actually created food that only existed in history books and legends.

Then the entire interstellar community was in an uproar. Li Xingyu only glanced at the number of viewers today and then stopped paying attention. At the time, the number of viewers seemed to be only a small part of the interstellar community, but as time went on, the number of viewers increased, not to mention the women who were watching Li Xingyu's live stream.

However, Li Xingyu had no idea that she was still waiting for the viewers in her live stream to answer, because she could only see the comments in her own live stream. It wasn't that she couldn't open three live stream pages on her personal computer, but she found it too troublesome.

As the petals drifted by, Li Xingyu nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it~ Let's continue."

"Fry the green peppers until wrinkled on both sides, then move them to one side of the pan and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the prepared sauce, stir-fry until the flavors are absorbed, and once the sauce has thickened, it's ready to serve." Li Xingyu placed the dish on a plate.

"Now let's look at the ribs. After the ribs are cooked, add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar and marinate for 20 minutes." Li Xingyu had just finished plating the tiger-skin green peppers and had the robot take them to the kitchen counter to put them with the other dishes when she heard the alarm clock she had set.

The pork ribs are cooked.

After explaining the next step and setting a 20-minute alarm (note: ribs), Li Xingyu flew to the counter where the ingredients were placed to prepare the next dish.

"Hmm, let's cook all the dishes that need chili peppers while we have this. Next, let's make bamboo shoots with pork. It should be about time." Just as Li Xingyu was about to have the robot come and fetch the ingredients she needed, a pair of slender, fair hands reached out from the side, picked up the ingredients Li Xingyu had chosen, and walked towards the pot that the cleaning robot had already washed.

"Thank you, Xinghe." Li Xingyu followed behind Xinghe on the hoverboard, her eyes crinkling with joy.

"You're welcome, Little Feather." Xinghe's gentle eyes and voice could melt away the years.

"To make stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, you'll need pork, bamboo shoots, scallions, lard, salt, soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Lard is made by rendering pork fat with water; I still have some from last night, but you can use other oils instead." Li Xingyu arranged the ingredients, with Xinghe and Tianshu standing beside her. The dishes they were looking at weren't ready to be eaten yet.

"Blanch the fresh bamboo shoots in boiling water, then slice them. Slice the pork as well, and marinate it with light soy sauce, salt, scallions, and ginger. Chop the scallions as well," Li Xingyu introduced the ingredients to the viewers in the live stream.

"Put the lard in the pan, sauté the white parts of the scallions until fragrant, then add the pork and stir-fry for two or three minutes. Remove from the pan, then add the fresh bamboo shoots and stir-fry to remove moisture. Add a little salt, soy sauce, and dark soy sauce and stir-fry until evenly seasoned. Add the pork back in and stir-fry. Add the scallion segments before serving." Having finished another dish, Li Xingyu felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
