Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 80 The 8th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"Okay, this is what Little Feather said herself. No matter how many people end up, you have to accept it." Li Manzhou took the documents from Li Xingyu and teased her with a smile.

"I know~" Li Xingyu replied listlessly to Li Manzhou's teasing.

"It's okay, Tian Shu and I will stay with you." Xing He, who was next to Li Xingyu, patted her forearm to comfort her.

"Aww~ I knew it, Xinghe is the best, and Tianshu is good too." Li Xingyu nestled in Xinghe's arms, her voice slightly recovered.

"Alright, little feather, did you forget something? Hmm?" Xinghe patted Li Xingyu's back gently.

"Huh? What is that?" Li Xingyu raised her head from Xinghe's arms, looking completely bewildered.

"Aren't we supposed to give the people in the live stream a treat today, and also release the recipes and the later parts of 'Journey to the West'?" Xinghe pointed to the floating sphere above the living room and reminded Li Xingyu.

"Aww~ Right, the recipes are ready. I'll post the ones from the day before yesterday and yesterday at once, and the others three times a day. For business inquiries, please contact the official Li's Star Network. Film and television works will be posted every day, and I've already set the time." Li Xingyu waved her hand, causing her hovering ball to fly down.

"Breakfast should be almost ready. Let's go to the restaurant first." Li Manzhou stood up and walked towards the restaurant. Although they didn't need to cook, they couldn't wait for the food to be ready and then have to come and call them.

The others who were still chatting responded and followed Li Manzhou, walking towards the restaurant while talking and laughing.

After everyone was seated, Hu Yu and the other person were almost ready and declined their offer to help. Li Xingyu then sat in a chair and fiddled with the light brain, trying to see if he could build Miracle Nikki in the Star Network.

Li Xingyu tried it and found it quite simple, so she decided that she didn't need Tian Shu and the others' help. She could handle it herself, and if not, there were always Qing Yao and Han Qing.

After trying it, Li Xingyu didn't immediately put it into practice. Instead, she first went through it in her mind to sort out her thoughts. Besides, breakfast was already ready, so she ate first.

"Thank you, Grandpa Fox Yu. You've worked hard, Grandpa Fox Yu." Li Xingyu thanked Fox Yu, who was serving her noodles, and received a pat on the head in return.

"It's alright, it's not hard work. Little Feather, try it and see if it's good." Hu Yu gently patted Li Xingyu's head. 'Oh dear~ his little Feather is so considerate, wanting to give her all the good things.'

"Mmm, delicious." After Li Manzhou started eating, Li Xingyu picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it in her mouth, her eyes immediately lighting up.

The noodles were springy and smooth, the soup was perfectly seasoned with a hint of spiciness and the aroma of scallions, which suited Li Xingyu's taste very well, except...

"It's so hot. Let's have dry noodles for breakfast tomorrow. Soup noodles aren't suitable for this hot summer day." Li Xingyu blew on the noodles on her chopsticks and muttered to herself.

Although the Li family ancestral home has central air conditioning, for health and other reasons, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house in summer will not exceed 15 degrees Celsius.

Li Xingyu was sweating profusely while eating breakfast; she had only eaten a few bites of noodles and hadn't even had the soup yet.

"Hmm? Little Feather, what is mixed noodles? Is it good?" Li Shihan, who was sitting next to Li Xingyu, swallowed the noodles in her mouth after hearing Li Xingyu's mutterings and asked softly.

"Huh? Mixed noodles are another way to cook these noodles. Besides mixing, you can also stir-fry, steam, or braise them. Each method has a unique flavor, and they're all delicious when cooked properly." Li Xingyu slurped up another mouthful of noodles, chewed them, and swallowed.

"I see, then..." Li Shihhan didn't finish her sentence, but instead gave Li Xingyu a wink.

"Mom~ Don't you have to go to work today?" Li Xingyu asked in a low voice, glancing at Li Shihhan.

"Hmph, you want me to go to Jingzhou with you? What's so fun about that? I already explored almost the entire area when I was in school. Besides, it's so much more comfortable here at home. I'm not going."

"Oh? We're going to be late, Jinzhou." Li Shihan glanced at the time, finished the last few bites of noodles, and turned to look at Fu Jinzhou, who had already finished breakfast and was wiping his mouth.

"Alright, Ah Han, don't worry, you won't be late." Fu Jinzhou stood up and followed behind Li Shihan, who was rushing out.

"Little rascal." As he passed by Li Xingyu, Fu Jinzhou gently tapped Li Xingyu's forehead with his finger, his tone indulgent.

"Hehe." Li Xingyu smiled at Fu Jinzhou without saying anything.

In fact, Li Shihhan didn't need to be in such a hurry, since the group was her own. However, because she had recently set up a clock-in/clock-out system, even the chairman and general manager would have their attendance recorded if they didn't arrive or leave work on time.

The working hours at the Li Group are very humane: work starts at 8:30 am and ends at 12 pm; get off work resumes at 2 pm and ends at 5 pm; evenings are considered overtime and are paid overtime wages and travel allowances.

The attendance system was created by Xinghe at Li Shihhan's request because some employees tend to forget the time and work very late, and Li Shihhan cannot always keep track of them, so this attendance system was created.

Because Li Shih-han has a slight perfectionist streak, she can't stand being late for work, so she and Fu Jin-zhou go to and from work on time every day.

"Mom, Dad in Jinzhou, have a good day at work!" Li Xingyu waved to the two men as they turned around after hearing her voice, watching their backs as they walked away.

The two waved to Li Xingyu at the same time and walked out of the house.

After finishing his meal, Li Xingyu sat on the sofa with his personal terminal, pondering how to cook the pumpkin while also checking the live chat comments:

[Good morning, Your Highness Hoshino.] xN.

[Your Highness Xingyu, the song you sang earlier was so beautiful, what was it called?] xN

[Your Highness, I also ate noodles this morning~] xN

[Your Highness Xingyu, what's today's surprise? Is it a pumpkin?] xN

"Good morning. Today's song is called 'Warmth,' which is an older song. You guys can make noodles by yourselves now? That's great! Today's surprise isn't pumpkin; you'll find out soon enough." Li Xingyu leaned back on the sofa, answering questions from the live chat.

“Xingyu…”

Yu Fernal's voice came from in front of Li Xingyu, with some reluctance and trepidation in it. Li Xingyu looked up when she heard the voice.

Yufinal stood before her, his body slightly tense, his eyes lowered as he looked at his toes, his voice low: "We're going back soon, I've come to say goodbye to Xingyu..."

"Huh? You're going back already?" Li Xingyu asked, somewhat surprised, as she ignored the comments on the screen.

“Yes, I have some things to take care of in the clan, so I need to go back early. We’ll meet again.” Yufinar said to Li Xingyu with a smile.

"Hmm... what's the exact time? I'd like to give you some gifts." Li Xingyu inquired about the specific time. She had a good impression of Youfinar after spending the day together and planned to give them some return gifts, since they had given her quite a few things as well.

“Little Feather, our starship is at 10:30~” Silan Lisa’s voice rang out next to Li Xingyu.

They came by private airship; the flight path had been applied for long ago and couldn't be changed now.

Private starship voyages require booking routes a week in advance to prevent unnecessary accidents and incidents during interstellar travel.

Because of the presence of the Alliance and the Li family, Yangzhou did not have a starship port, only a spaceship field. However, the surrounding states all had starship ports, so the route that Silan Lisa and her companions applied for was the Yuezhou starship port, which was closest to the Li family's ancestral home and could be reached in ten minutes by hovercar.

"10:30? There's still time." Li Xingyu muttered.

"Hmm? What does Little Feather want to do? Is there anything Grandpa can help with?" Qin Fengshi asked Li Xingyu curiously from the other side.

"Grandpa~ could you help me pick a pumpkin from the plantation? I'll make you some snacks." Li Xingyu asked Qin Feng, who looked at her expectantly.

"Of course you can, Little Feather just wait for Grandpa." Qin Feng straightened his sleeves and walked towards the door.

"Huh?! Snacks? Little Star, I'll have some too, I'll have some too." Li Xingyu's voice wasn't deliberately lowered, and everyone heard her. Tian Shu was eager to try.

"Me too, me too, I want some snacks too!" Li Xinghua jumped in front of Li Xingyu, her face full of excitement.

"Alright, come on over, the more the merrier." Li Xingyu turned around and saw that everyone, including Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue, had expectant looks on their faces, and shrugged.

Now, smiles appeared on the faces of Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue.

Now that I'm retired, I have nothing to do all day. Little Feather is so much better. My mood has improved a lot these past few days. Indeed, the cubs are the most important thing in the world. Without cubs, the world wouldn't turn.

"By the way, Grandpa Ryan, do you have any glutinous rice flour at home?" Li Xingyu suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Ryan, who was all smiles. You can't go wrong asking Ryan about anything related to plants.

"Ah~ I don't have glutinous rice flour, but I do have glutinous rice that has already shed its husk. Can I grind it into powder directly?" Ryan thought for a moment.

"Okay, then I'll leave the glutinous rice flour to Grandpa Ryan and Grandpa Hiffel, is that alright?" Li Xingyu looked at Hiffel; his ability seemed quite useful.

"Okay." Hiffel nodded, it seemed quite fun. Well, I'll listen to Little Feather then. I wonder what that little snack is.

Hiffel and Ryan left the living room to get the glutinous rice from the storeroom.

"I plan to make pumpkin pancakes. When Grandpa comes back, we need to peel the pumpkin, slice it, steam it, mash it into a puree, add glutinous rice flour and knead it. Then it needs to rest for a while. We'll use a time accelerator for this. After that, we'll divide the rested dough into small portions, just a small ball, roll it into a ball, flatten it, and finally fry it. That's all the steps. You can make whichever you want." Li Xingyu told everyone the steps for making pumpkin pancakes.

"Okay, Little Feather, what steps do you want to take?" Li Xinghua wanted to participate in every step. She had already decided, and she wanted to know what Li Xingyu wanted to do.

"Oh~ This should be the last step, right?" Li Xingyu glanced at Li Xinghua and said with a smile.

"Oh~ I know, the last step is to fry pumpkin cakes, right?" Li Xinghua suddenly realized.

"Huh? Isn't the last step eating?" Li Xingyu tilted her head, feigning ignorance.

"Huh? Little Feather! You're kidding me." Li Xinghua's smile turned to confusion, then she pounced on Li Xingyu and hugged her tightly.

"Oh dear~ what should I do? My sister found out." Li Xingyu was hugged, shrugged, and admitted with a smile that her sister was really fun to be around at home.

"Little Feather~" Li Xinghua reached out and cupped Li Xingyu's face in her hands, rubbing it incessantly, but carefully controlling the force.

"Oh dear~ Sister, I was wrong, it really was the last step, I was watching the heat." Li Xingyu leaned back, dodging Li Xinghua's hands that were pinching her face.

"Hmph, Little Feather... I'm not talking to you anymore, Grandpa's back." Just as Li Xinghua was about to "threaten" Li Xingyu, she looked up and saw Qin Fengshi returning with a big pumpkin.

"Grandpa, you're back! You picked the pumpkins so quickly! Are they this big?" Li Xingyu asked as she followed Li Xinghua to the door after she let go of her hand.

Li Xingyu spotted the pumpkin immediately because it was taller than Qin Fengshi and almost spherical. Although she knew that ability levels would bring corresponding enhancements to the body, she had never felt it so clearly before.

"Alright, now that Grandpa's back, well... hey~ Grandpa Hiffel, are you all ready too?" Before Li Xingyu could finish speaking, Hiffel and Ryan walked over, each carrying a cloth bag.

"Hmm, is this enough?" Hiffel lifted the bag in his hand slightly.

"That's enough, let's begin now." Li Xingyu glanced at the shape and size of the bag, then looked at the pumpkin Qin Fengshi was holding, and nodded.

"Okay, let's go, let's get started." Li Xinghua pulled Li Xingyu towards the kitchen.

The others followed in the footsteps of the two.

As Li Xingyu watched Qin Feng walk into the kitchen carrying a large pumpkin, she thought to herself, 'Luckily, the door to our house is big enough, otherwise I'd have to cut the pumpkin open to get into the kitchen.'

In interstellar society, houses are built very large because of the spirit animals and orcs. Otherwise, if you invited a friend to your house, he/she wouldn't even be able to get in.

Everyone began making pumpkin cakes following the steps Li Xingyu had instructed them to take.

"Hey, Uncle Bixiao, wait a minute. We'll add it one bowl at a time. It won't taste good if we add too much." Li Xingyu stopped Bixiao, who was about to pour the glutinous rice flour into the basin after picking up the bag.

Silan Lisa, Bi Xiao, Yu Fenal and the others found it interesting and joined in making pumpkin cakes. Because Bi Xiao was quick and strong, she was the first to mash the steamed pumpkin into a puree.

"Pour a bowl, stir it, and wait until it can be kneaded into a soft dough." Li Xingyu watched as everyone added glutinous rice flour.

"Alright, put on the time accelerator, five hours." Li Xingyu turned on the time accelerator with the time flow rate adjusted, enveloping all the kneaded and sealed dough.

"Alright, we can move on to the next step. Don't make the dough balls too big, or they'll be hard to fry later." Li Xingyu reminded everyone again, looking at them who were eager to try.

"Alright, alright, we know. We'll take care of Little Feather." Li Xinghua said confidently, and the others nodded in agreement.
