Chapter 581: Atmosphere
"Boom la la ......"
As soon as the sound of water next door sounded, Tang Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. Imagining the beautiful scenery in the bathroom, Tang Chen felt his heart pounding.
To be honest, after being together for so long, Tang Chen also thought about letting the two go further. But every time he saw Zhou Xuanying's strange eyes, Tang Chen was "stunned". It's not that he doesn't dare, it's that Tang Chen really loves her, respects her, and takes care of her as the most precious thing, and can't bear to let her be hurt a little bit, even if the person who hurt her is himself.
"Looks like you're going to have to put up with it...... Brother, you've been putting up with it for more than 20 years, don't you care about putting up with it a little longer?"
Tang Chen laughed at himself in his heart, and then focused on washing vegetables. Make the sound of the water louder so that you don't think about it.
After the dishes were washed, Tang Chen was ready to cook.
In fact, the dishes were also very simple, Tang Chen wanted to make a candlelight dinner by himself, so he bought candles, steaks, fruits, and salad dressings. Of course, Zhou Xuanying's favorite spaghetti with meat sauce was also packed.
Frying steak is actually not difficult, although Tang Chen rarely cooks, he has tried to do it a few times, which is relatively successful, and it is also his best dish. It should be noted that steak is a traditional Western diet, and the biggest difference between China and the West is that there is a fundamental difference in meat quality due to the different breeds of Chinese and Western cattle. The main reason for using domestic beef to make steak is that the beef used in European and American steak is a special variety, which is very delicate and can be very tender without pretreatment. Chinese steaks are not good and need to be processed upfront.
The so-called treatment is actually sprinkled with salt, black pepper, oiled, and marinated for about an hour. Marinated steaks can be pan-fried or grilled, but the most effective way to make them tender on the inside and fragrant is to divide them into two sections. The first time the steak is fried in the pan, it must be on high heat, when the surface of the beef is dehydrated and hardened, the color changes to dark brown, and the aroma of frying is exuded, and one side is turned over before the beef is browned, and the other side is also fried to a dark brown. At this time, it is enough to change one side after frying, and it is enough to turn it once, and there is no need to turn it over. This stage is to create the flavor of the steak.
The second stage is to let the inside mature, and try not to make the temperature of the outside too high before hardening, resulting in too much difference between the surface and the inside of the meat. Switch to low heat and continue frying, but turn the dough frequently, about once a minute, to let the heat slowly enter the beef. This stage allows the internal temperature of the meat to become higher and the juices to seep out.
The next step is to adjust the sauce, use the remaining oil from the fried steak, add the minced onion and fry until fragrant, and add the minced tomatoes. Because steaks should be eaten hot, the more chopped the tomatoes, the shorter the time to cook them, the better. Then pour in the red wine, add the chopped black pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix in the gravy from the steak and the sauce is ready.
Finally, blanch some broccoli and carrots, cut a few tomatoes, and put two slices of lemon to complete the plating.
A piece of steak is okay for Zhou Xuanying, after all, girls don't eat too much. But for boys, it's just forty percent full, so Tang Chen specially bought spaghetti with meat sauce and snibbled it in the microwave.
The dessert is a fruit salad, but the fruit is cut into pieces and drizzled with salad dressing, and a dessert is ready.
At this moment, a voice came from the bathroom: "Tang Chen, I forgot to take my clothes, on the sofa outside, you can help me take them." Tang Chen, Tang Chen, did you hear that?"
"I heard you!"
After Tang Chen washed and dried his hands, he walked into the hall, and sure enough, he saw a pile of clothes on the sofa.
"It's a bathrobe, it's a bar?!, and ......"
Although Tang Chen was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be careful of his liver pounding. Carrying a triangular object in his hand, he was at a loss for a moment.
"Tang Chen, are you alright?"
At this time, Zhou Xuanying was urging again, and Tang Chen clearly saw that there was a snow-white lotus arm that was still dripping with water, waving lightly in the air.
After swallowing his saliva, Tang Chen said, "Okay, okay, let's ......"
When he came to the bathroom door, Tang Chen really wanted to push the door open so that he could have a glimpse of the "beautiful scenery" in the bathroom. However, it took him a long time to restrain his evil thoughts, silently wrap his underwear in a bathrobe, and gently hand it to Zhou Xuanying. However, the ghost made the god worse, Tang Chen still rubbed the oil on Zhou Xuanying's slender fingers, and his heart was refreshed: "It's still a bit of a harvest after all!"
"Bang !!" After the bathroom door was quickly closed, Tang Chen slowly stretched out the hand that had just rubbed the oil to the end of his nose and smelled it, faintly smelling the aroma of shower gel.
"Alas, I don't know when and when I will get what I want, I will get what I want, I will get what I want, I will get what I want......"
Tang Chen hummed a small tune and returned to the kitchen, where he was busy again.
"Tang Chen, what are you doing?"
I don't know when, Tang Chen's waist was suddenly hugged, and a fragrance after bathing penetrated his nose. The sudden softness made Tang Chen stunned in place, and he almost didn't crash.
"I ...... I'm making steaks and making a candlelight dinner......" Tang Chen muttered.
"It looks like it's quite delicious, Tang Chen, didn't you say that you haven't cooked much?" Zhou Xuanying asked in surprise.
Tang Chen couldn't help but didn't hold her hand, after all, there were still oil stains on his hands, and he said, "Your man is a genius!"
"Fart!" Zhou Xuanying couldn't help but laugh and scold, before letting go of Tang Chen's waist: "Then the princess will go to the restaurant and wait for your good dishes!"
After that, Zhou Xuanying tilted her head, rubbed her undried hair with her hands, and walked out of the kitchen humming a song. Tang Chen said in his heart: "I have practiced this dish several times, specifically to create a romantic atmosphere...... It turned out that Tang Chen had read a book when he was young and ignorant, which taught Tang Chen how to create a romantic atmosphere, and how to proceed to the next step after creating a romantic atmosphere - that is, an indescribable fragment......
"Next, do you want to follow the rhythm of that book? No, no, no, if you do this, Xiaoying will hate me to death...... Forget it, bear with it a little longer......" Tang Chen sighed, slowly picked up the steak, wiped the moisture under the plate with a rag, and then brought it to the restaurant.
"Steak debut......
"And your favorite spaghetti bolognese sauce ......"
"Fruit Salad ......"
"Red wine...... By the way, there are candles missing......" After Tang Chen turned off the lamp, he slowly lit two candles and placed them on the dining table. For a while, there was an indescribable charming atmosphere that lingered in the restaurant. Tang Chen saw that Zhou Xuanying had already begun to be intoxicated, and looked at Tang Chen with misty eyes, with a look of affection in his eyes. Tang Chen said in his heart: "Haha, this trick really works!"
