Chapter 145: Capricorn Man

"By the way, I bought beef today, can we fry the steak and eat it?" Guo Xiang asked while nibbling on an apple.

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

"I'll teach you." Guo Xiang smiled, she had a recipe in her head, but she couldn't master the heat well, and she 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 slice, and then put it in a pan to fry, and fry it until it is medium-cooked." Guo Xiang said.

"Don't pickle?" Gu Zhennan asked.

"There are two methods, what I just said is not pickled, so that you can thicken the sauce with black pepper, and then pour the sauce on it." Guo Xiang said.

"The other is to marinate garlic and seasonings in advance, and then fry them directly in the pot, which is more flavorful, but the marinating time is relatively long, and now I'm afraid it's too late." Guo Xiang said.

Although both methods are easy to say, she can't do it with her hand.

"Hmm!" Gu Zhennan nodded, as if he understood.

"But our domestic beef is not fat enough, it may be a little hard, do you have any way to make it tender?" Guo Xiang asked.

Gu Zhennan thought for a moment and nodded, "There is a way." ”

Great, people who can cook are good, just a little bit of it.

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

I patted the beef with the back of a knife, took a toothpick and made a small hole in the beef, and then got a little baking soda mixed with water and evenly smeared it on the beef and massaged it for a while, this is to destroy the beef fiber, and the meat will be tenderer when eaten.

The window was opened halfway and the exhaust fan was raised.

Wash the pot and wipe it dry, dig up a piece of lard and go down.

Guo Xiang didn't buy butter at this time, and I don't know if there is butter for sale at this time, forget it, lard is the same, after all, it is also animal fat, maybe it is unexpectedly delicious?

The white lard sizzled and gradually melted, Gu Zhennan shook the pot, let the oil spread evenly at the bottom of the pot, threw in two cloves of garlic, and put in two slices of steak after smelling the garlic.

The aroma of meat slowly floated out of the pot, Guo Xiang stood aside and watched and swallowed his saliva, it was so fragrant!

After frying, turn the steak over on one side, fry the other side, and drizzle a little wine, which is fragrant.

"Don't fry it too well, it won't taste good when you're old." Guo Xiang said.

"Hmm." Gu Zhennan nodded and kept watching.

When it is almost cooked, you can see that there is still a little pink in the middle of the steak, almost medium-rare, and then remove the steak and put it on a plate.

It is best not to cut the steak immediately after it is cooked, and let the juice enter the meat, otherwise everything may cut into the blood.

Take advantage of this time to adjust the black pepper sauce.

"Get more sauce, and you'll have some noodles later, I'm worried you won't have enough to eat." Guo Xiang said.

He has such a large amount of food, and this piece of steak may not be enough.

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

After a while, the spicy and fragrant taste of black pepper came out, and Guo Xiang's index finger moved, so he wanted to eat it quickly.

When the black pepper sauce was ready, Guo Xiang thought that he hadn't bought a knife and fork, oops, the preparation was still insufficient.

"There's no way to cut this......" Guo Xiang was a little embarrassed.

"Just with a knife." Gu Zhennan said, just on the plate, pressed the meat with a spoon, and neatly cut the steak into long strips.

Then the sauce was drizzled over it.

"It smells so good." Guo Xiang licked his lips, a little impatient.

I took a piece of chopsticks and put it in my mouth, "Well, that's good!" Guo Xiang gave a thumbs up.

Gu Zhennan hooked the corners of his mouth and put noodles under boiling water.

When the noodles were fished out and mixed with lard to prevent the noodles from clumping, the two served steak and noodles to the kang together.

"I forgot to buy a knife and fork today, this is a Western food, and it should be eaten with a knife and fork, but we used chopsticks." Guo Xiang said with a smile.

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

Guo Xiang was stunned, in fact, it is also right, there are also Chinese restaurants abroad, foreigners don't use chopsticks to eat with forks? If we don't need a fork, why can't we use chopsticks?

"You have a point." Guo Xiang smiled, "It's just that if you go to a Western restaurant to eat, you won't be laughed at with a knife and fork, so it's better to learn it." There are also foreigners who learn to use chopsticks! ”

Gu Zhennan nodded, it's not that he doesn't learn, he can't use it flexibly if he doesn't have it now.

"By the way, I went into the city today to buy textbooks for the third year of high school and some exercise books, and 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 eating the steak and started to eat noodles again, poured a little black pepper juice on the noodles, and scooped a spoonful of chili sauce, combining Chinese and Western.

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

Guo Xiang looked at the noodles in his bowl, which looked delicious, and nodded, "I'll take a bite." ”

Gu Zhennan sandwiched a chopstick noodle, a roll, and handed the noodle roll to Guo Xiang's mouth, she opened her mouth to eat it, completely unaware that this was the chopsticks used by Gu Zhennan.

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

"A little more?" The corners of Gu Zhennan's mouth hooked.

"One more bite." Guo Xiang nodded.

After another bite of noodles, the steaks on the plate were inexhaustible, and Gu Zhennan poured them all into his bowl.

Guo Xiang looked at it and smiled, "You can eat so well, you must not have eaten enough at home before, right?" ”

"It's okay, just eat two more sweet potatoes." Gu Zhennan said.

It's good to have a daughter-in-law, and the family can now eat meat.

He knew that Guo Xiang was capable, and he remembered her dedication, and he would treat her a hundred times better in the future.

"So you chose to come to the oil field because you can eat here?" Guo Xiang said jokingly.

"Hmm." Gu Zhennan nodded very seriously.

Guo Xiang was stunned for a moment, and laughed, is it really? But seriously, it was a wise move to choose an oil field, and it gave him a place to play.

After eating, Guo Xiang rushed to wash the dishes, and the man cooked and washed the dishes by himself, which was just right.

Gu Zhennan didn't insist when he saw that she was so active, he took a rag and wiped the kang table clean, and they could review their homework together later.

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

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded, raised his face, and watched his little daughter-in-law half-kneel in front of him, helping him wipe his face and then acupuncture, enjoying this time very much.

"Daughter-in-law, it's my birthday in a few days." Gu Zhennan said.

"Birthday? When? Guo Xiang asked.

"January 10th." Gu Zhennan replied.

"January 10th......" Guo Xiang thought about it, it is Capricorn, Capricorn men have a strong sense of responsibility, mature and steady, firm willpower, and calm judgment, but their personality is a little introverted and a little rigid.

It's really similar to Gu Zhennan.
