Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 225 The 225th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"Tian Shu is really amazing, but this is just a general outline."

The New Year, specifically, begins on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, people cook Laba porridge with eight different ingredients and pickle Laba garlic.

Then the whole family starts a thorough cleaning, prepares items for worshipping the Kitchen God, and makes things like maltose candy. This is when they begin preparing for the New Year.

Fried dough sticks, sweet cakes, sesame balls, braised pork, fish... making lanterns, writing couplets, cutting paper snowflakes, making new clothes... buying all kinds of snacks, firecrackers, candles, incense, fireworks, and paper money...

On New Year's Eve, December 31st, the last day of the year, preparations for the most sumptuous dinner of the year began in the morning.

After lunch, everyone except those who need to prepare dinner should first tidy themselves up and put on new clothes.

Then prepare the offerings and tools needed to worship the ancestors, and at the same time start preparing the dishes for dinner.

Then comes pasting couplets and paper-cut window decorations, and hanging up big red lanterns.

As evening approaches, the family first pays respects to their ancestors, and then the whole family gathers together for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Before or after the New Year's Eve dinner, elders in the family will give lucky money to the younger generation, wishing them peace and safety in the coming year.

Some young adults also give their elders lucky money, which is also a way of praying for peace in the coming year.

After dinner, it was mostly about having fun, reflecting on the past year, and looking forward to the new year.

They also set off fireworks and firecrackers, making it lively and beautiful.

Staying up until midnight is called "keeping watch over the year." Of course, people who are too young or too old should also prioritize their health and rest.

Long, long ago, China would broadcast the Spring Festival Gala at 8 pm on the eve of the Lunar New Year. It was a gala consisting of many programs, and everyone would ring in the new year together.

Around 12 o'clock, the dumplings are cooked. Dumplings also symbolize wishing for family reunion, good fortune, and health. However, in some places, dumplings are also eaten for breakfast the next day.

This is mainly because the Earth's surface area is too vast, and people's customs and habits are also different.

At 12 o'clock, firecrackers and fireworks are set off to mark the arrival of the new year before people go to rest.

The following days were also a time for bonding and relaxation.

Since it had been sitting for almost 16 hours, the fish strips weren't exactly hard, but they weren't easy to cut either.

In particular, it is important to slice it as thinly as possible, otherwise it will be undercooked and lack flavor during cooking.

Li Xingyu slowly sliced ​​the fish, her mouth never stopping as she calmly introduced the New Year customs to everyone, all of which were memories of her own New Year celebrations.

Because her memories were filled with so much warmth and joy, Li Xingyu's smile never faded as she introduced the story.

The audience became so engrossed in listening that they couldn't even begin to imagine the scene Li Xingyu was describing.

Because there are many things they have never heard of before, they naturally cannot imagine the corresponding scenes in their minds.

However, that scene must have been very harmonious and heartwarming.

That's great! I'm a little envious of the seniors.

"Alright, just cut it roughly like this. Be careful when cutting, because it's a bit hard, so be careful not to cut your hand." Li Xingyu looked at the fish strips she had cut and turned to instruct everyone.

"Huh? Oh, okay, Little Feather, can you restore those things you just mentioned?" Yufinal and Li Xingyu were standing close by, and Yufinal excitedly approached her and tugged at her clothes.

“Sure, these aren’t anything too complicated, but our breakfast is more important right now, don’t you think, Nar?” Li Xingyu poked Yufinar’s soft, smooth cheek with a hint of helplessness.

"If we don't have time to recreate what Xiaoyu said right now, could we upload a video or footage? That would also be a good opportunity to test Xiaoyu's training results." Xinghe was rationally on Li Xingyu's side, but emotionally...

The scene described by Li Xingyu was so beautiful that he couldn't even imagine it.

"Ah, that's a good idea, perfect for giving it a try. Speaking of which, how about we go straight for an immersive holographic video?" Li Xingyu naturally knew what Xinghe and the others were thinking, but Xinghe wasn't wrong either.

All that practice during this period wasn't for nothing, especially since Xinghe and Tianshu were brought in later, making the results even more outstanding.

"Then you guys..." should wait until I finish building it before looking at it, or should we build it together? Li Xingyu said, somewhat hesitantly.

"Let's get to work now. It should take about the same amount of time. We can watch it after we finish cutting." While Li Xingyu hesitated, Elnis had already made arrangements for himself and Xinghe.

"Huh? Okay, I'll go to the restaurant first. Good luck to you guys. You guys stay here and wait for me. I'll be live-streaming later and posting it on the StarNet." Li Xingyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on. She left the floating ball in the kitchen and went to the restaurant.

When doing her own thing, Li Xingyu prefers a quieter environment, which helps her think and calm down.

Since the quantum computer followed her, Li Xingyu simply turned off the bullet screen and walked towards the restaurant alone.

When Li Xingyu arrived at the restaurant, she casually found a chair and sat down. Instead of immediately starting to build content on the StarNet, she sorted out her thoughts and the content she needed to build.

Because of the relevant memories and images in his soul, Li Xingyu didn't have much trouble building them up in the StarNet space; only some details were a bit blurry and needed to be filled in.

Twenty minutes passed by quietly.

Li Xingyu is now in the examination stage. Constructing something with a mental image feels a bit like shooting a video, where you can still choose to speed up, zoom in, and delay.

Because he had already recounted a lot of things, Li Xingyu followed the timeline he had just described, and the experience felt like he had actually lived through that month and a half.

It was just a month and a half of cuts and acceleration.

If there are no activities in the evening, I just skip it; and during the few days of spring cleaning, I speed it up.

However, since he planned to make it holographic, Li Xingyu still took great care to ensure that all five senses were in place, and he spent most of his time on this.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Xingyu finally finished checking and filling in the gaps.

"Phew~ It feels pretty good. We can start planning the big games now." Li Xingyu gave it one last check, slowly exhaled, and had a relaxed smile on her face.

The daily exercise wasn't for nothing. Compared to before, when he felt completely drained after building just a small part, Li Xingyu still had mental energy left to create this nearly two-hour holographic video.

Although part of the reason is that Li Xingyu is constantly growing.

As for the people who stayed in the kitchen...

After Li Xingyu left, he also started to seriously do his own task, otherwise what?

Even if they longed for, were curious about, and were eager to see the scene described by Li Xingyu, they still had to finish what they were doing first.

Furthermore, Li Xingyu made a very insightful point:

Breakfast is still the most important meal of the day.

After exercising, you always have a better appetite, especially when it's close to mealtime.

Some people in the live stream quickly called their friends, while others recorded Li Xingyu's words and posted them online.

The number of viewers watching Li Xingyu's live stream reached a terrifying number, to the point that it made her socially anxious just by looking at it.

However, Li Xingyu hadn't paid attention to the online viewership data since she was shocked when she glanced at it last time.

Anyway, there are already so many people, as long as I don't look at the data, I won't have any thoughts.

While Xinghe and the others were cutting fish into strips, the bone broth was almost ready.

The kitchen was filled with a rich yet refreshing aroma, which was constantly tantalizing to people's senses and appetite.

The new audience members were initially a little confused and eager, but after a while, their attention was completely focused on the bone broth.

If Li Xingyu hadn't appeared in the frame just as Xinghe and the others were finishing cutting the fish, everyone might have forgotten why they came to this live stream in the first place.

"Wow, you guys are so fast! You're almost done cutting everything?" Just as Li Yue put down the knife, she noticed the person next to her and the faint breeze brushing past her ear.

"! Little Feather?" The fox ears on the top of Li Yue's head twitched uncontrollably.

"Haha, it tickles! I've already finished the video. How about we watch it after breakfast?" Li Xingyu couldn't help but laugh at the ticklish sensation on her cheek.

"Okay, what's next?" Michael asked, looking at the slices they had already cut on the counter, from Li Xingyu's other side.

Because the moisture in the dough had not completely evaporated, and Li Xingyu and the others had used a little more force when rolling it, the fish floss was now cut into grayish-white oval pieces with patterns.

"Take out the ingredients for this morning's breakfast according to the amount of noodles. Let the moisture evaporate from the rest of the ingredients, then store them away." Li Xingyu stepped onto the hoverboard, and it was time to show off her cooking skills.

The suspension plate has a self-cleaning function, cleaning itself after each use, or it can be operated manually.

Otherwise, Li Xingyu wouldn't have been stepping on and sitting on a hoverboard. Although she doesn't have to do laundry, she still has a slight case of OCD.

"Whether in terms of shape, preparation method, or feeling of fullness, fish floss and noodles are quite similar, so the preparation methods are also similar."

The only difference is that the fish floss has an extra step of soaking in water. Remember not to soak it for too long; just soak it until it's slightly loose. Li Xingyu estimated that it was enough for one bowl and grabbed a handful of fish floss pieces, putting them into cold water to soak.

Xinghe, Tian Shu, Youfengal, and Michael followed Li Xingyu's actions, while the others were tidying up the cut fish strips on the cooking table.

"After soaking and separating the fish strips, take them out, drain the water, and set them aside for later use."

Put cold water in a pot and heat it. Once the water boils, put the fish strips in and cook them with a little salt. After two minutes, take them out.

If you want a slightly more substantial meal, you can also blanch some greens and boil an egg.

Put the fish strips, greens, and egg into a large bowl, and add the prepared bone broth.

Because the bones we chose all had meat on them and were already cut up, we put the soup and bones into the bowl together.

A simple bowl of fish noodles is ready. How does it look? Doesn't it look delicious? Li Xingyu placed the floating ball on the final product, tempting people who had just gotten up or were still in bed early in the morning.

However, Li Xingyu had no intention of bringing up the bullet screen to watch everyone's lamentations about being able to watch but not eat, as she was busy cooking.

Because she had to explain while demonstrating, Li Xingyu deliberately slowed down her movements and steps.

There was no need to worry about so much now. Working together with Xinghe and the others, we quickly finished the rest.

"Alright, alright, let's eat." Li Xingyu sat in the main seat, with a bowl in front of her that was bigger than her head, and her chopsticks were already eager to be picked up.

Picking up a piece of fish and putting it in her mouth, the rich and fresh flavor, along with the tender and chewy texture, instantly won over Li Xingyu's heart.

Because the raw material is magnolia, a subtle floral fragrance has been added to the original flavor, making the taste even better.

Li Xingyu ate happily and with satisfaction.

The others were equally impressive, eating quickly yet elegantly.

After finishing the last sip of soup in the bowl, along with the meat, bone marrow, and vegetables that were in it, Li Xingyu looked completely satisfied.

Ah, if only I could have breakfast like this without having to get up so early and cook for myself.

However, it seems that this is indeed the case after today?

Li Xingyu wiped her mouth. Her mind was always a little sluggish after eating, and her thoughts seemed to wander freely.

Not even knowing what she was thinking, Li Xingyu looked at everyone who had finished eating, got off her chair first, and walked towards the living room.

Xinghe and the others exchanged a glance and followed Li Xingyu's steps, each of them with excitement, anticipation, and anticipation on their faces.

If they hadn't been genuinely hungry, they would have definitely asked Li Xingyu to watch the video first.

"Alright, I've invited you." Li Xingyu knew that Xinghe and the others were eager to come, especially Xinghe.

Because Xinghe's inner thoughts are still running through his mind, Li Xingyu felt rather helpless.

Each person's StarNet space is independent. Apart from those who have granted the owner access and those who have invited them, no one else, including official personnel, can enter. Of course, some illegal individuals are an exception.

StarNet administrators also have the right to open, block, or enter a person's StarNet space under certain special circumstances.

Li Xingyu has not granted any permissions to anyone yet, but he did invite Li Manzhou and the others before.

This is the respect that Li Shih-Han and the others show to Li Xing-Yu.

They wouldn't ask Li Xingyu for permission to enter her StarNet space, but Li Xingyu would invite her family members in to check on her at least once a year.

StarNet is not an absolutely safe place, and not everything on StarNet is harmless.
