Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 126 The 126th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

After Li Xingyu finished speaking, Tian Shu released his hand that was holding Li Xingyu's hair.

Li Xingyu casually rubbed the head of Li Yue, who was facing her and looking at her with concern, before walking towards her small stove.

After silently finishing the sugar painting, Li Xinghua moved closer to Li Xingyu to watch her paint.

Then, Li Xinghua's exclamations of surprise echoed from the kitchen from time to time.

Li Xinghua is a very energetic person. She prefers hobbies that involve physical activity, such as wandering around the mountains and fields or going to the training ground... In short, she can't sit still.

Li Xingyu's hobbies are the opposite of Li Xinghua's; she prefers quieter activities: reading, drawing, listening to music, doing crafts... or you could say she's too lazy to move.

However, the two of them have one thing in common: when it comes to activities they don't like, they simply don't want to do them or don't enjoy them, rather than being unable to do them.

The reason why Li Xinghua and Xinghe's sugar paintings were a bit strange before was simply because it was their first time trying them. If they were to paint on a computer or paper, they would all be painters with their own style and proficient skills.

After watching for about ten minutes, Li Xinghua was called away by a message on her personal terminal. Before leaving, she gave one of the four sugar paintings she had drawn to each of Li Xingyu and the others. She kept one in her mouth and put the rest into her storage space.

Li Xingyu also gave half of her drawing to Li Xinghua. Anyway, she had plenty of free time and could make another one. Besides, eating too much sugar at once is not good and can easily cause cavities.

Even though we're interstellar beings, we still get cavities. The only problem is that the treatment is very quick and convenient, with no side effects.

"By the way, Little Feather, what are these fruits for? To make another delicious dish?" Li Xinghua had asked Xinghe and the others before, but they didn't know what Li Xingyu wanted to do, so she didn't get an answer. Now that she was about to leave the kitchen, she suddenly remembered.

"Yes, I'm making candied hawthorns. I'll call you when they're done~" Li Xingyu replied without looking up as she painted the sugar picture.

"Okay, I knew Little Feather was the best, mua~" When Li Xinghua saw Li Xingyu put the spoon back into the syrup, she immediately hugged her, spun her around, gave her a big kiss on the cheek, put her down, and ran towards the kitchen door.

"Little Feather, leave my levitation ball here. You have the authority to do so. Just let it follow you. I'll bring it back for dinner, okay?"

Li Xinghua's figure disappeared around the corner, but her voice echoed in the kitchen.

Li Xingyu skillfully took out a pack of makeup remover wipes from her storage space, smoothly pulled out a wipe, and wiped her face.

"Sister..." Looking at the makeup remover wipe stained with red, Li Xingyu only managed to call out "Sister" before swallowing the rest of her words as the sounds echoed from the kitchen.

"...I've almost finished drawing. How are yours? I'm planning to start making candied hawthorns now." Li Xingyu wiped her face clean and turned to look at Xinghe and the other two beside her.

"I'm almost done here, just a little bit more." Xinghe answered Li Xingyu, her eyes fixed on the countertop and her hands moving non-stop.

"I'm done. Should we string all these fruits together?" Tian Shu put the spoon back in the stove and watched them string a little bit of fruit together.

"I'm done too. Shall we string all the fruit together?" Li Yue's gaze first fell on Li Xingyu, and then fell on the fruit on the counter.

Most of the fruit on the counter was still in plates, with only a small portion skewered and set aside.

Half of them were strung together by Li Xingyu, Tian Shu, and Li Yue while Xinghe went to get the candy, and the other half were strung together by Xinghe when Li Xinghua was drawing the sugar painting.

It is estimated that only less than one-fifth of all the fruit was already strung up.

“Yes, we need to connect them all. We can get the robots to help.” Li Xingyu found it somewhat amusing to see the three of them looking so tense.

It's fine to do a short-term hobby out of interest, but if you turn your interest into a job, it won't be as motivating or fun.

Li Xingyu's words made Xinghe and the other two look a little uneasy, because natural food robots cannot make it. What robots make is just food. Only when it goes through human hands will the energy in the food become more active. Therefore, the three of them subconsciously ruled out the idea of ​​having robots make it.

"That's right. If we just let the robots process the ingredients, the food will be made by humans and won't affect the energy contained in the food." Xinghe and the others looked like they understood, though they hadn't quite grasped the concept yet.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought of this, but mainly because Li Xingyu usually cooked by herself, and the robot only helped with washing pots and pans, so they subconsciously assumed that the robot couldn't help.

I happily released two robots, programmed them, gave them a demonstration, and then let them start stringing fruit.

After all, some fruits are really hard to string together, and you have to carefully control the force and angle. It's okay for a short time, but it gets really tiring after a while. Robots don't have this problem at all.

Li Xingyu demonstrated the technique and explained the thickness of the syrup needed for different fruits, and then let them do it themselves.

There are many tricks to making candied hawthorn skewers. Different fruits have different levels of sweetness. If the fruit is already sweet, a thick coating of syrup will make it too cloying. If the fruit is slightly sour, a thin coating will not suppress the sourness...

Xinghe and the others, along with the viewers in Li Xingyu's live stream, listened with great interest. After all, the ingredients for making candied hawthorn are really simple; all you need is sugar, fruit, and a pot—materials that almost everyone has at home at all times.

Many people followed Li Xingyu's steps one by one. Considering this situation, Li Xingyu used more specific values ​​when explaining, instead of words like "appropriate amount" or "a little" which are easy for her to use but not so friendly to the listeners.

After explaining the precautions and some tips, Li Xingyu casually zoomed in on the bullet screen. It was too big and would be in the way, and it would easily distract her. She just became interested and wanted to see what the people in her live stream were doing, and also see if any of the people following along had any questions.

And there it was again, the familiar barrage of comments flooding in like a tidal wave:

Swift Wind and Strong Grass: [Your Highness, the beggar's chicken for lunch today was so delicious! Will there be any new dishes on Food of China? I really can't make it myself. It was definitely better than the first time. Your Highness was right after all, sob sob~]

Feeling annoyed, I thought: [Your Highness Xingyu, you've fully awakened so quickly, when are you going to start accepting applications for relief?]

While driving: [Your Highness Xingyu, your songs and dramas need updating! I've listened to the songs you release so many times, I listen to them on repeat every day, and two episodes of the drama a day aren't enough!]

A user commented: "[Your Highness Xingyu, could you please open more branches of Shiwei Huaxia? It's always packed, and we can't get a seat!]"

Prince Xingyu is the best: [Prince Xingyu, um... could I possibly ask for the novel and manga? Working is tough, I can only watch replays every day.]

Statically indeterminate structure: [Your Highness Xingyu, look at me! Look at the sugar painting and candied hawthorn I made! They're a success, aren't they?]

………………

"Ahem... Everyone is very enthusiastic. Let me see. Regarding the 'Taste of China' product, please consult the Li Group. I always said the revised version would definitely taste better than the first one."

Um... it's still uncertain whether we'll accept the relief application, but it's time to put it on the agenda.

As for those cultural and entertainment works, I'll plan them out later.

Oh dear~ Speaking of which, what should I watch today? Anime? Manga? Novel? TV series? Or a movie?

"Oh, this viewer, your candy is quite special, what kind is it?" The barrage in Li Xingyu's live stream was rich and varied, covering almost every aspect.

Upon seeing the colorful syrup, Li Xingyu immediately became interested. Good heavens, what kind of candy is this? How come the syrup looks like a rainbow?

want to.

Statically indeterminate structure: [Ah~ Your Highness Xingyu, this is candy made from five-colored fruit. If you like it, I can send it to you. I made a lot.]

The Five-Colored Fruit is one of the unique fruits of the Elven race. Although it is called the Five-Colored Fruit, the fruit actually has more than five colors; a single fruit can display up to ten colors. The fruit is very fragile and inconvenient for bulk transportation.

However, the taste of each bite of the five-colored fruit is slightly different, depending on which color you bite into. It is very popular among interstellar people, but the price is somewhat expensive due to the trouble of transportation.

The candy made from five-colored fruits is very sweet and refreshing, and its colors are also very vibrant.

Looking at the address of the statically indeterminate structure, Xia Hong Star, Li Xingyu remembered that this was the territory of the Elven race. It seemed that what the other party said was correct. However, she said, "Could you send me more? I'll buy them, or I can exchange them with you for something else."

Statically indeterminate structure: [Okay, I have a farm at home that specializes in growing multicolored fruits. How many would Your Highness Xingyu like?]

Five-colored fruit is one of the favorite fruits of the elves. Even if they don't sell it, they can produce and sell it themselves. Moreover, the five-colored fruit tree, its flowers, and its fruit are all particularly beautiful. Even if it is only used as an ornamental plant, it has high economic value, so there are quite a few elves who cultivate it.

Other races also wanted to plant them, but because the Five-Colored Fruit Tree only favored elves and needed their careful care during its growth, each one was very small, so small that it wasn't even enough for their own family to eat.

"...Or you could tell me what you want to exchange first? I'll see how much I can offer in return, and then we can determine the quantity of the colorful fructose you want to send?" Li Xingyu choked for a moment. She didn't know how much the other party had. What if she asked for too much and the other party didn't have enough? She decided to let the other party decide.

Statically indeterminate structure: [I need to think about it some more. There are so many things about His Highness that I'm really interested in. We can chat privately later.]

"Okay~" Li Xingyu's voice was full of joy. It was worth the effort she had just put in to find the other person's comments in the barrage wall, which had almost made her eyes blurry.

Let's chat in private messages, how could I have forgotten?

Li Xingyu and the others stayed in the kitchen for three hours, using up all the syrup they had made. After coating all the skewered candied hawthorns, they still had a lot of syrup left, which they used to make all sorts of strange sugar paintings.

Li Xingyu also took out several pastry molds and poured in all the remaining syrup to make delicate sugar bricks. Because they couldn't finish making them, the four of them complained about why they had made so much syrup.

Even Li Yue, who has the best personality and temper, was getting a little impatient. Xinghe and Tian Shu, those two cunning people, if it weren't for Li Xingyu, their expressions would have looked like they were about to tear the syrup in the stove to pieces and destroy the evidence at any moment.

Right now, Xinghe and Tianshu are just moving like robots with blank expressions. It's not that they haven't tried letting the robots do it, but the program is inanimate.

They also had to keep a close eye on the syrup in the oven. The robots' programming didn't allow them to multitask. Since they were already doing it themselves, they figured a little more time wouldn't make a difference, so they might as well finish it.

Li Xingyu was exhausted in the end, still clutching Li Yue's big tail tightly in her arms.

As Li Yue drew, he couldn't even control his tail anymore and let it out. After Li Xingyu finished making all the syrup and tidied up himself and the kitchen, he hugged his tail tightly, feeling utterly exhausted.

The happier I was when I started drawing, the more frustrated I became when dealing with the remaining syrup.

The main reason is that Li Xingyu did not expect that the sugar from the interstellar process would produce more syrup than before.

Originally, Li Xingyu had calculated the amount carefully and put the same amount of sugar in everyone's stove, but she forgot that there were differences between the two worlds, which resulted in the syrup being almost half as much as she had expected.

However, these differences need to be tested gradually, so it's to be expected that you'll lack experience the first time you do it.

"Ah~ Is it time to start preparing dinner already?" Li Xingyu and the others hadn't even left the kitchen yet. Because they were really tired, they lingered for a while, and then they ran into Yin Lian and the others who were walking into the kitchen.

"It feels like I've been eating non-stop all day long. Are you preparing dinner this early?" Li Xingyu muttered under her breath, since she really didn't feel like she had done anything special today, and it was almost dinnertime.

"Hmm, you've only just finished your sugar paintings?" Yin Lian naturally knew what Li Xingyu and the others were doing in the kitchen; he still had a few pieces of candy that Li Xinghua had given them in his storage space.

"Ah~ Brother-in-law Yinlian, the syrup I made turned out much more than I expected, so it took a lot longer. Do you want some candied hawthorns?" Li Xingyu explained, not surprised by his question, and took out a handful of candied hawthorns from his storage space, holding them out in front of them.
