Chapter 231 The 231th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person
"I see. Since Minister Shi has already expressed his intention to visit me, I suppose the Ministry of Education should have already prepared a plan and scheme." Li Xingyu nodded to indicate that he understood.
There is no reason or necessity to refuse.
This is a fact that both sides understand.
"Yes, I'll send it to you now. Your Highness Xingyu can take a look first." The two had exchanged contact information since their last meeting, and Shi Chengqing sent the prepared contract to Li Xingyu.
"Okay, but let's not rush this. It's getting late, let's have dinner first." Li Xingyu nodded, and at Xinghe's reminder, decided to talk about it after dinner.
how to say?
Suddenly, being able to hear the voice of the Milky Way doesn't seem so unacceptable anymore.
Xinghe reminded Li Xingyu through his thoughts. Although he couldn't quite understand why Xinghe was able to control his mind so easily, Li Xingyu was extremely grateful.
The preceding words were all thought up by Li Xingyu himself in a rapid process of thinking; even Qingyao and Hanqing did not participate.
Of course, we can check the contract now, but lunch might be delayed, and most importantly, this all happened quite unexpectedly.
Eating lunch is both a way to replenish energy and a way to clear your mind.
Otherwise, you might get scammed without even realizing it. Although the possibility is small, it doesn't prevent you from seeking greater benefits for yourself.
“Great, I just heard that Xiao Yu Mao gave some pointers to the head chef here before, and the food has improved a lot since then.” Whenever Shi Chengqing has free time, he usually has lunch at Shiwei Huaxia.
The suggestions for improving the cooking were given to the robot along with the requirements for the private room design when Li Xingyu came here last time. Today's meal here is also a way to test the results.
However, due to his busy schedule recently, Shi Chengqing has been eating natural foods less often, and most of the time he mainly consumes nutrient solutions.
I chose to eat here today because things have come to a slightly better end.
Meeting Li Xingyu and the others was purely a coincidence.
“Uncle Shi, you’ve worked hard. Let’s take a seat first. Xinghe, you can tell us to serve the dishes now.” Li Xingyu and Shi Chengqing stood up at the same time and gestured for each other to sit down.
As soon as everyone sat down, Dorje brought over a robot to serve the food.
Why did we let Dorje make the arrangements just now?
One reason is that as the person in charge, he must have a certain understanding of the preferences of these important figures, so it is unlikely that he will make any mistakes in preparing the materials;
Li Xingyu and the others ordered dishes according to their own preferences. Putting aside the portion sizes, what if they accidentally offended someone?
Another factor is speed. You should know that even in private rooms, food is prepared in order.
Li Xingyu didn't know how long it would take for Shi Chengqing to finish eating the dishes, so she had to ask someone to make arrangements.
"Miss, Minister Shi, and all the young masters, all fifteen dishes have been served. I wish you all a pleasant meal." After arranging the dishes, Dorje saw Li Xingyu nod slightly to her, bowed to everyone, and then left.
Li Xingyu sat in the main seat with an elegant and natural demeanor, with Shi Chengqing on one side and Xinghe on the other, while the others sat down in order.
"Uncle Shi, would you like a beverage or alcohol?" Li Xingyu, as the host, politely inquired.
Waaah, let whoever wants to be the boss take over, she's still a baby, why treat her like this?
Li Xingyu was inwardly crying her eyes out, but her face remained elegant and calm.
"Hmm? Is there some new product? Little Feather has any recommendations?" Shi Chengqing's attention was on the drinks.
It's lunchtime now, let's put work aside for now and talk about it when we're seated at a table other than the main dining table.
"Hmm, Uncle Shi, are you going to continue working this afternoon? Then I recommend you have some fruit juice or fruit tea. I've been preferring iced fruit lately. Do you have any favorite flavors, Uncle Shi?" Li Xingyu asked about the other person's afternoon schedule before making recommendations.
It's better to drink at night, as the chances of making a mistake are lower. What if someone gets drunk in the middle of the day?
Shiwei Huaxia does have some drinks and alcohol, but Li Xingyu doesn't really think much of them. Although it's his own business, the craftsmanship is nowhere near as good as that of his family.
It seems I should visit more often in the future and try to improve the taste further.
"Hmm... Could I have an iced grape fruit tea?" Shi Chengqing hadn't been paying much attention to Li Xingyu's live streams lately and assumed that Foodie China had also started offering drinks.
"Then let's have fruit tea, Uncle Shi, this is for you." Li Xingyu waved her hand, and a dozen or so colorful cups of fruit tea appeared on the table in front of her and Shi Chengqing.
"Hmm? It's actually Little Feather's cooking? Then I'll have to savor it properly." Shi Chengqing was surprised for a moment, then his expression turned to delight.
Although she had a good relationship with Mo Lichen, that was a matter of the previous generation, and Li Xingyu didn't have a deep impression of him. This was only the third time Shi Chengqing had tasted Li Xingyu's cooking.
Shi Chengqing and Mo Lichen are good friends. However, in the past, because both of them were busy with work and Li Xingyu also had to go to school, Li Xingyu would stay at the ancestral home during holidays.
Mo Lichen had only mentioned Shi Chengqing to Li Xingyu; the two had never met before, and their first meeting was during the registration ceremony.
As for the relationship between Mo Lichen and Shi Chengqing, Li Xingyu only learned about it from Mo Lichen on the second day after they registered.
Otherwise, Li Xingyu wouldn't have called the big shot she was meeting for the second time "uncle" so readily; she wasn't that lively and outgoing.
"It's alright. It's just that the weather has been quite hot lately, so we've brought out some of the summer refreshments we used to make." Li Xingyu divided the chilled fruit tea she had brought out according to everyone's preferences.
Although all ten of them had some, it wouldn't look very good if everyone took them from their own storage space, so she could take them all herself.
The tea was a little too hot, and even though there was air conditioning in the private room, she only drank small sips. But that didn't hide the fact that Li Xingyu didn't want to drink hot tea.
"These are some new dishes that were recently added to the menu. Uncle Shi, you can try them. I've also given you some pointers on the other dishes." Li Xingyu first took a sip of fruit tea before introducing the large table of dishes to Shi Chengqing.
After all, the dishes that Li Yue and the others ordered were only recently added to the menu. Seeing Shi Chengqing's curious look, let's give them a brief introduction first.
After the introductions were finished, Li Xingyu finally picked up her chopsticks. This meant that in private, one didn't need to be so formal; being addressed as "Your Highness" was really embarrassing.
And why is gender listed before age and seniority?
This kind of etiquette is really too much for a baby like her to handle.
Li Xingyu shoved food into her mouth while mentally complaining.
Overall, everyone enjoyed the meal quite a bit.
They were all teenagers, and after a short observation, they gained a little understanding of Shi Chengqing's personality, which immediately made the atmosphere more relaxed.
In addition, Shi Chengqing had a high degree of tolerance and affection for cubs, and he remembered most of the cubs in the house.
There are only so many god-level offspring among the various races in the interstellar space, and Shi Chengqing's memory is quite good, so he didn't put on any airs of an elder.
After dinner, it was time to get down to business.
"Therefore, the Ministry of Education wants to borrow some of the chefs who have already been trained for pilot teaching. Xinghe and I also need to go to the pilot schools at various stages to teach from time to time."
After training a group of talented individuals, they can then serve as instructors for culinary courses, employing a learn-by-doing teaching strategy to teach culinary techniques on a large scale.
At this moment, Li Xingyu had finished reading the documents sent by Shi Chengqing.
After obtaining Shi Chengqing's consent, Li Xingyu sent the document to their group of ten people, since the document also contained information about Xinghe and the others.
"Yes, Your Highness Xingyu, this is the current plan, and it is one of the plans that can produce results relatively quickly."
In addition, we have consulted with other departments regarding honorary teacher positions in pilot schools during the pilot teaching period.
Once the cooking courses are rolled out across the entire galaxy, instructors will receive a teaching certificate issued by the Alliance, which is valid for all cooking courses at all learning stages.
Salaries are calculated based on the official teacher salaries of the teaching school.
In addition, the industry and commerce department also offers some benefits, such as speed, efficiency, and green channels. Shi Chengqing entered work mode, his expression serious and focused.
Despite being locked onto by Shi Chengqing's Ruili-like gaze, Li Xingyu wasn't too flustered. She even had the leisure to consult Qingyao and Hanqing in her mind.
There was no other way; Li Xingyu's previous identity was just a student, at most a student who had been a music teacher for half a year.
I have very little experience with contracts, let alone contracts for specially appointed teachers.
Why not use foreign aid when you have it?
If someone exploits any loopholes in the system, you'll have nowhere to turn for help.
After receiving confirmation from Qingyao and Hanqing that there were no problems, Li Xingyu turned his gaze to Xinghe and the others beside him.
It has to be said that the person who wrote this report must have studied Li Xingyu and his team for quite some time, which is reflected in the fact that they even wrote down what dishes they are good at.
Besides Che, Cain, and Elnis, everyone else, including Li Xingyu, had their names on this document.
Li Xingyu was naturally aware of Xinghe and the others' culinary skills, since they were considered his apprentices. However, the fact that others could figure out these skills from their infrequent cooking livestreams showed that they had put in a lot of effort.
It's true that Li Xingyu likes to livestream while eating, but many times she only starts livestreaming after the food is cooked.
Don't ask Li Xingyu why she didn't livestream the entire cooking process when she originally intended to spread food culture and cooking skills.
The reason for asking is because I forgot.
I was busy preparing my own meal, how could I possibly think about live streaming?
Live streaming isn't Li Xingyu's main job.
As Li Xingyu's thoughts suddenly diverged, she felt a faint sense of guilt. Something felt off.
My conscience is killing me.
Forget it, at worst, I can just have Xinghe or Qingyao remind me to do a live stream when I'm cooking. Online teaching is not bad either.
"By the way, Minister Shi, have you considered online teaching?" Li Xingyu's mind was wandering all over the place when the idea of online teaching suddenly popped into her head.
Hehehe, online classes.
Since I've been here for two years, you guys should have a good experience too.
"Hmm? No wonder Team Leader Mo often praises Princess Xingyu. It seems it's not just a subjective opinion, but also an objective fact." Shi Chengqing looked at Li Xingyu in surprise.
It wasn't that they were surprised that they hadn't thought of it, but rather that the ideas Li Xingyu expressed were quite incongruous with her current age.
Li Xingyu is only fifteen years old. He's still a young cub who has just awakened and is still growing. How come his thinking is already so fast and so broad?
Another plan of the Alliance's Education Department is a document about online teaching, but Shi Chengqing hesitated whether to send it to Li Xingyu and the others.
Shi Chengqing sent the document about online teaching to Li Xingyu, and slowly savored a small, exquisite Black Forest cake.
The oven, Galaxy, was made more than a week ago, but everyone was too busy with company matters to use it.
A few days ago, when things were a bit more relaxed, everyone did a live stream of making Western-style desserts.
how to say?
Decorating cakes is truly addictive, especially when you're spreading buttercream frosting and decorating with fruit—it's incredibly stress-relieving.
So engrossed in the game, the group even resorted to using food stored in the kitchen for lunch and dinner.
The final product consisted of a large pile of cookies and various kinds of cakes.
Three thousand portions of cookies were given away.
Because the oven is big enough and there's a timer, pressing the molds is really addictive. Before I knew it, I made too many, so I just decided to hold a giveaway.
As for the cake, I only sent some to family, relatives, and friends along with the cookies; the rest I kept.
There was nothing on the coffee table in Li Xingyu's private room except for tissues, a vase, and a basket of fruit.
Xinghe and the others simply each took some exquisite and beautiful food and decorated the place, instantly creating the atmosphere of afternoon tea.
Li Xingyu was looking at documents and contemplating life when she came to her senses and saw the well-arranged coffee table.
Forget it.
They seemed quite happy.
So be it.
Li Xingyu consulted Shi Chengqing again, and after receiving a positive response, she also sent the document to their group chat.
"Hmm... Minister Shi, it's not quite right to arrange a subject so directly online. Perhaps you'd like to hear my suggestion?" Li Xingyu had only one thought after reading the document.
Fortunately, she was the teacher who gave the lesson.
Because it's an online course, the alliance's education department directly created a new subject called cooking, which includes some very minor subcategories.
Li Xingyu also expressed her understanding, saying that as long as she recorded the video, it would be fine for online classes.
For slightly more complicated cases, classes can be taught directly in the StarNet space, without being greatly affected by time and location.
