Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 197 The 197th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

God knows how close I came to death when I saw Li Xingyu clutching her head and falling to the ground.

Qingqi had no idea how she got to Li Xingyu. When she came to her senses, she was already transferring her abilities into his body.

Although I get excellent grades in every course, I always feel a sense of panic and helplessness when something unexpected happens to someone I care about.

After carefully examining Li Xingyu's current physical condition, Qingqi nodded to Xinghe and the others, indicating that everything was fine.

Upon receiving Qingqi's message, Xinghe and the others immediately surrounded her, with Che even throwing himself into Li Xingyu's arms.

Suddenly, Li Xingyu was pounced on by a huge Che. Che, who had already reduced his strength, took a step back and returned to Michael's arms.

Li Xingyu gently patted Michael's arm with the hand that was on her arm, then moved it away and hugged Che, who was trying to snuggle into her arms: "Okay, I'm fine now, Che, don't cry anymore, or your eyes will get swollen."

"Little Feather, Che, what just happened? You two were so agitated. If Michael and Qingqi hadn't acted quickly, and if Qingqi hadn't been healing you, who knows what would have happened to you now." Xinghe asked everyone except Li Xingyu and Che.

I was so worried about Li Xingyu that my attention was entirely on Qingqi and Li Xingyu, and I forgot to ask Che what happened.

Now that the matter is resolved, we need to find out the reasons behind it.

Facing the intense gazes of the crowd, Li Xingyu unconsciously tightened her grip on Che, clearly recalling her freshly made embarrassing moment with Che: "Ah~"

cough cough...

It's nothing serious, it's just..."

Li Xingyu stammered awkwardly, avoiding eye contact with the group surrounding her.

Che pressed his eyes against Li Xingyu's shoulder and pretended to be dead, as if he could get away with it as long as his name wasn't called.

In fact, Che's heart was in turmoil ever since he learned that Li Xingyu was alright.

Should I say it or not?

Although what I said was a little embarrassing and might lead to some punishment, what was more important was the thought of Little Feather and Xinghe.

If they don't tell, Xinghe and the others are so worried about Xiaoyu, and they haven't been spending much time together yet. If they keep Xiaoyu's situation a secret, it will make things a little awkward when they're together in the future.

"Ugh! This is so annoying!" Che couldn't help but roar inwardly, and then Michael's words rang in his ears like heavenly music.

“I actually know roughly what happened, but do Xiao Yu and Che not want Xinghe and the others to know when they are there?” Michael sensed that Li Xingyu and Che were somewhat evasive, and his expression and tone were full of doubt.

Michael had been watching Li Xingyu and Che ever since they arrived in the kitchen, mainly focusing on Li Xingyu.

Therefore, he saw almost everything that happened between Li Xingyu and Che without any errors. It can be said that, apart from the two people involved, he was the only eyewitness.

Hearing Michael's words, Li Xingyu and Che nodded hurriedly like chickens pecking at rice.

If only one of Xinghe and the others were here, or if the other person involved in the incident were not present, Li Xingyu and Che would not be in this state where they cannot utter a single word.

As for the nickname "Michael," Li Xingyu said it was bound to happen sooner or later. Xinghe and the others seemed to have some inexplicable obsession with calling her by her nickname, so she would just let them be. Anyway, they were just friends now.

Yes, it's another day of Li Xingyu being stubborn and argumentative.

"Okay, let's talk about it tonight. But I still hope Che can be there too, is that alright?" Xinghe glanced at the three of them hugging and cuddling, showing great understanding.

"Okay, I can do it." Che lifted his head off Li Xingyu's shoulder and looked up to meet Michael's face, which showed a hint of pleasure. He paused for a moment before turning around casually, looking at Xinghe standing behind him, and nodded.

"Now everyone go about your business. Qingqi, please take good care of Xiaoyu. We'll go prepare the other necessary items first." Xinghe said to Qingqi earnestly, then glanced at Li Xingyu, who was smiling at him like a quail, with a hint of helplessness.

"Hehe, Xinghe~" Li Xingyu met Xinghe's helpless yet doting gaze, couldn't help but smile at him, and called out to him in a coquettish manner.

"Okay, come on, Little Feather, what were you doing just now?" Qingqi looked at the posture of Li Xingyu and the other two, which she felt was a bit of an eyesore for a moment, and seriously agreed to Xinghe's arrangement.

Qingqi still feels a lingering fear about Li Xingyu. With him by her side, she can at least handle many unexpected situations.

"Thank you, Michael. It's really reassuring."

Che, it's okay, I'm fine now. Qingqi has already confirmed it.

"My clothes are all wet. Don't your eyes hurt?" Li Xingyu first turned around and thanked Michael. After the other blushed and lowered his head, he straightened up and gently patted the other's back with the hand that had been stroking Che's hair.

"Waaah~ I know, but I'm still worried. (Sobbing) If only I had reacted faster. (Sobbing) Little Feather, Little Feather wouldn't have been so badly injured." Che's voice was heavy with sobs, and he would occasionally sob, but he still managed to get his point across.

"Sigh~ Okay, it's not entirely your fault. I also bear some responsibility. Che's reaction was quick enough. Don't blame yourself. Besides, I'm fine now, aren't I? Let's continue, okay?" Li Xingyu nodded to Michael to indicate that she was okay. After the other raised his hand to rub her head and turned to leave, she sighed, lifted Che's cheek, and lifted her off her shoulder.

"Da~ Da da~"

Che's tears never stopped after touching Li Xingyu. As soon as she left Li Xingyu's shoulder, the tears turned into beads and fell to the ground with a series of crisp sounds.

It unintentionally attracted the attention of everyone in the kitchen.

Seeing Che's eyelashes, which were now wet with tears and clumped together, Li Xingyu turned her pleading gaze to Qingqi.

Faced with Li Xingyu's pleading gaze, Qingqi spread her hands and shrugged, indicating that she didn't have any solutions either. However, she then smiled and took out a pack of tissues from her storage space.

"Alright, alright, I'm here, what are you worried about? Dinner is more important now. As for what just happened, we'll have plenty of time tonight." Qingqi wiped away Che's tears and patted his shoulder after his gaze shifted to her.

"Okay, let's continue dealing with the magnolia. Little Feather, you can guide us remotely, don't get too close to us." Che agreed with a heavy nasal tone, straightened up, wiped away his tears, and picked up the mermaid pearls that had fallen to the ground.

It's all from my own tears, so it's my own stuff, it's still useful, I can't let it go into the trash.

Li Xingyu nodded and agreed. Goodness, his head was still throbbing slightly, but thanks to Qingqi, he had actually recovered.

Glancing at the pale blue mermaid pearl in Che's hand, Li Xingyu silently exchanged a glance with Qingqi.

After cleaning up the mermaid pearls on the ground, Che turned around and walked towards the cooking station where they had just processed the magnolia, with Li Xingyu and Qingqi following behind him.

Seeing that Che was already planning to take action, Li Xingyu and Qingqi stood opposite him very consciously.

"Gently pat the fish's back, and the fishy line will slowly come out. Don't use too much force." Seeing Che's somewhat helpless look, Li Xingyu gave him instructions.

"Alright, shall we try the taste of raw magnolia now?" Che looked at the thin white thread that he had painstakingly pulled out, and instinctively felt that it was not a good thing, so he threw it further away.

"Ah, if it's possible, I'll trouble you, Che." Li Xingyu was still in a daze, staring at the bloody line that was also over 1 meter long. Hearing Che's words, she reacted and nodded slightly.

"The taste is much better than before, but there is still a noticeable bitterness and stench." Che cut a small piece of meat from Yulan's belly, put it in his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and quickly swallowed it.

Although Che still complained about the taste of Yulan, he had to admit that Li Xingyu's methods were effective. His taste buds had become too picky, and even the slightest bitterness or stench would be very stimulating.

At least now, the taste of raw magnolia is palatable; it's a slightly unpleasant taste that most people can accept.

If the fish is marinated and cooked in the same way as before, the magnolia's original flavor will probably be preserved.

Heaven knows how people in the past tasted the true flavor of magnolia. Did they use the same method?

I wonder if this is recorded in history books?

Once you get used to it, go read more books; you might learn some new and interesting knowledge.

"Thank you for your hard work, Che. Now take a small piece of meat, marinate it with scallions and ginger for about fifteen minutes, and then please try it, Che." Li Xingyu looked at Che, whose face was a little wrinkled with sympathy, and reluctantly told him the next steps.

“Okay, let’s marinate two batches at the same time. One batch will be marinated with scallions and ginger, and the other batch will be marinated with scallions, ginger, and cooking wine. This will also make a comparison.” Che opened his personal terminal, recorded the current situation, and then thought for a moment before proposing a comparative experiment.

Speaking of cooking wine, we have to mention the research department of the Alliance. After Mo Lichen acted as an intermediary, Li Xingyu officially connected with the researchers in the research department.

Under Li Xingyu's description and subtle guidance, MSG, chicken essence, cooking wine, and various kinds of soy sauce have been developed, and their sales far surpass those of other products sold at the same time.

Mo Lichen has opened a special account to store the profits from the condiments Li Xingyu sells in the research department, waiting for her to come of age.

Before this, Li Xingyu had never thought that growing up was a good thing, but now, she was eagerly looking forward to time passing quickly so that she could get some money sooner and become a rich woman.

Although Li Xingyu is now a wealthy woman, who would complain about having more and more legitimate income?

nobody!

"Sure, Che, could you please send me a copy of these records later? I think they'll be made public." Li Xingyu looked at Che recording the data with a serious expression and belatedly realized that she was supposed to send these things out.

Magnolia is indeed very nutritious, but its taste is really hard to swallow.

Knowing that Li Xingyu was going to target Yulan, a large portion of the interstellar population, especially those living in areas with seas and merfolk, were now anxiously awaiting Li Xingyu's live stream.

There are only a few ways to process ingredients, and some of them may take a long time.

However, with the help of time accelerators and environment simulators, the time can now be shortened to within one hour.

Therefore, no one was worried about the possibility of failure.

If His Highness Li Xingyu failed in his approach to dealing with Yulan, then the chances of others succeeding would be even lower.

This is a situation that everyone is well aware of.

Li Xingyu wasn't nervous at all. Firstly, she wasn't really good at empathizing with emotions, and secondly...

If the Chinese people can't even handle and cook ingredients properly, how can you expect other cuisines and ethnic groups to do it well?

Are you kidding me?

"Food is the first necessity of the people." This is no joke.

Given the dedication and effort that the rabbits of China put into food, once they learned that something was edible, they devised all sorts of ingenious cooking methods to prepare it.

In Li Xingyu's mind, there is no ingredient in Chinese cuisine that cannot be made delicious.

"Oh right, Che, cut me three more pieces of magnolia meat. I want to try making preserved fish and fermented fish. Also, let's brew some rice wine first, and then I'll try making fermented fish." Li Xingyu looked at the large piece of magnolia meat that was still left, stroked her chin, and asked Che to cut her a few more pieces of meat so she could try other ways to cook the fish.

"Little Feather, Che, Qingqi, is there anything we can do to help?" Xinghe's voice came from behind her as soon as Li Xingyu finished speaking.

Xinghe and Tianshu had just arranged for the robots to take out some things they didn't use often but would need later from the warehouse to set up in the backyard when they entered the kitchen and heard Li Xingyu's words.

"We've got everything sorted out here. Little Feather, is there anything else you need?" Michael and Tanuki Moon had also finished their tasks and were now coming over.

"Yes, the more people the better. Rice wine can be used to make a lot of delicious things, and it tastes especially good." Li Xingyu turned her head and saw that everyone else had come over, and she immediately had an idea.

Brewing is hard work, and in interstellar space, especially now, it has evolved into a job that requires both eyesight and strength.
