Chapter 145

"By the way, I bought beef today. Shall we fry steak?" Guo Xiang asked while eating an apple.

"I won't." Gu Zhennan shook his head.

"I'll teach you." Guo Xiang smiled. She had a recipe in her mind, but she couldn't control the heat well and didn't want to spoil the beef.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded.

"Wash the beef, cut it into two centimeters thick, don't cut it into small pieces, just a large piece, and then fry it in the pot. Just fry it until medium cooked." Guo Xiang said.

"Don't marinate?" Gu Zhennan asked.

"There are two ways. What I just said is not pickled. In this way, thicken it with black pepper and mix a sauce. Then pour the sauce on it." Guo Xiang said.

"The other is to marinate with garlic and seasoning in advance, and then fry it directly in the pot. It's more delicious, but the marinating time should be longer. I'm afraid it's too late now." Guo Xiang said.

Although both methods are easy to say, she can't do well.

"Yes!" Gu Zhennan nodded as if he understood.

"But our domestic beef is not fat enough and may be a little hard. Can you make it tender?" Asked Guo Xiang.

Gu Zhennan thought and nodded, "there's a way."

Great. The person who can cook is good. It's OK at one point.

Gu Zhennan first lit the coal stove, cut two pieces of beef, washed them with warm water, and then took a clean dishwashing towel to suck up the water.

Patted the beef with the back of the knife, took a toothpick and pricked a small hole in the beef, then made some baking soda and water, evenly wiped it on the beef, and massaged it for a while. This is to destroy the beef fiber. The meat will be tender and smooth.

Open half the window and raise the exhaust fan.

Wash the pot, wipe dry the water, and dig a piece of lard down.

Guo Xiang noticed that he didn't buy butter and didn't know if there was butter to sell at this time. Forget it, lard is the same. After all, it's also animal fat. Maybe it's delicious unexpectedly?

The white lard rang and melted gradually. Gu Zhennan shook the pot, spread the oil evenly at the bottom of the pot, put in two cloves of garlic, smell the garlic and put in two pieces of steak.

The meat fragrance slowly floated out of the pot. Guo Xiang stood by and looked at it, swallowing saliva. It was so fragrant!

After frying, turn the steak over, fry the other side, pour some wine on it, and it smells delicious.

"Don't fry it too well. It's not delicious when it's old." Guo Xiang said.

"Yes." Gu Zhennan nodded and kept looking.

When it's almost done, you can see that there's a little pink in the middle of the steak. It's almost medium cooked. Start the pot and put the steak on the plate.

It's best not to cut the steak immediately after it's cooked. Let the juice come into the meat, otherwise everything may bleed.

Just take advantage of this time to mix black pepper sauce.

"Make more sauce. You'll have some noodles later. I'm afraid you don't have enough." Guo Xiang said.

He eats so much that I'm afraid this steak is not enough.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded and began to make sauce.

After a while, the spicy smell of black pepper came out. Guo Xiang moved his fingers and wanted to eat quickly.

When the black pepper sauce was ready, Guo Xiang thought he didn't buy a knife and fork. Alas, the preparation was still insufficient.

"I can't cut this..." Guo Xiang was a little embarrassed.

"Just use a knife." Gu Zhennan said, holding the plate and pressing the meat with a spoon, he sliced the steak into strips.

Then pour the sauce on it.

"It smells good." Guo Xiang licked his lips and couldn't wait.

He took a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "well, it's good!" Guo Xiang gave a thumbs up.

Gu Zhennan hooked his mouth and boiled underwater noodles.

When the noodles were fished out and mixed with lard to prevent the dough lump, they brought steak and noodles to the Kang.

"I forgot to buy knives and forks today. This is western food. We should eat with knives and forks, but we used chopsticks." Guo Xiang smiled.

"Who says you can't use chopsticks for Western food?" Gu Zhennan said.

Guo Xiang was stunned. In fact, he was right. There are Chinese restaurants abroad. Can't foreigners eat with chopsticks and forks? Why can't we use chopsticks if we can't use forks?

"What you said makes sense." Guo Xiang smiled, "but if you go to a western restaurant and have no chopsticks, you won't be laughed at with knives and forks, so it's better to learn. Foreigners also learn to use chopsticks! "

Gu Zhennan nodded. It's not that he didn't learn. He doesn't use it flexibly now.

"By the way, I went to the city today to buy textbooks and some problem sets for senior three. We can start reviewing in the evening." Guo Xiang said.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded. He was happy to study with his daughter-in-law.

Gu Zhennan finished his steak and began to eat noodles. He poured a little black pepper juice on the noodles and scooped a spoonful of chili sauce to combine China and the West.

"Do you want it?" Gu Zhennan mixed the noodles.

Guo Xiang looked at the noodles in his bowl. It looked delicious. He nodded, "I'll have a bite."

Gu Zhennan took a chopstick and a roll of noodles. She handed the roll of noodles to Guo Xiang's mouth. She opened her mouth and ate it. She didn't realize that it was the chopsticks Gu Zhennan had used.

"Well, it's delicious." Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows.

"More?" Gu Zhennan hooked up the corners of his mouth.

"One more bite." Guo Xiang nodded.

After another mouthful of noodles, Gu Zhennan couldn't finish the steak on the plate. Gu Zhennan poured them all into his bowl.

Guo Xiang looked straight and smiled, "you can eat so much. You must not have enough at home before?"

"OK, just eat two more sweet potatoes." Gu Zhennan said.

It's better to have a daughter-in-law. The family can eat meat now.

He knew that Guo Xiang was capable. He kept her efforts in mind and would be kind to her a hundred times in the future.

"So did you choose to come to the oilfield because you could eat enough here?" Guo Xiang said jokingly.

"Yes." Gu Zhennan nodded very seriously.

Guo Xiang was stunned and laughed. Is that true? But seriously, it was a wise move to choose an oil field, which gave him a place to use.

After dinner, Guo Xiang competed to wash the dishes. The men cooked and washed the dishes themselves, which matched well.

Seeing that she was so positive, Gu Zhennan didn't insist. He took a rag and wiped the Kang table clean. Later, he can review his lessons together.

Guo Xiang wiped his hands and came back. He took out the silver needle from his bag. "From today on, acupuncture will continue. I want to cure your facial paralysis."

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded, raised his face, looked at his little daughter-in-law half kneeling in front of him, wiped his face, and then acupuncture. He enjoyed the time very much.

"Daughter in law, it will be my birthday in a few days." Gu Zhennan said.

"Birthday? When? " Asked Guo Xiang.

"January 10th." Gu Zhennan replied.

"January 10th..." Guo Xiang thought. It's Capricorn. Capricorn men have a strong sense of responsibility, mature and steady, firm willpower and calm judgment, but they are a little introverted and a little rigid.

It's really like Gu Zhennan.
