The daily garden of rebirth

After unloading and tidying up all the things he bought, Tang Qianhe began to prepare dinner.

Because he bought beef and various spices, including prickly ash and chili, and the temperature at night was relatively cool, Tang Qianhe planned to cook a Sichuan dish—boiled beef.

Although Tang Qianhe in his previous life studied lighter cuisines such as Fujian cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, because he personally likes spicy food, he also has a little research on Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine.

Tang Qianhe sliced ​​the beef he bought into thin slices, marinated it in the prepared sauce for a period of time, and took out the dried chili, onion, ginger, garlic, etc. he just bought today, cut them up, put them in the Set aside.

After preparing all the ingredients, Tang Qianhe lit the fire with a flint to evaporate the original water in the cauldron to dryness. Immediately, he poured some oil into the pan, put the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic into the pan, and stir-fried , and then put in dried chilies and peppercorns. After the aroma comes out and the red oil is fried, pour in the water that has been prepared, and then add salt, soy sauce, sugar and other condiments.

After the water boiled, Tang Qianhe put the marinated beef into the pot, covered the pot, and stood aside quietly waiting for a quarter of an hour.

After the chili and prickly ash were fried, the smell was so pungent that Gu Zhaoyang did not dare to approach the stove, so he could only stand far away in the yard, but he still kept sneezing, his nose was red, and the corners of his eyes were also red. It is the physiological tears that flow out automatically when you are choked by the spicy taste.

Gu Zhili hugged the little brother in his arms and went back to the room as early as after smelling the choking smell, because although it smells good, it smells too choking, it makes it really uncomfortable to smell, and there is a feeling of wanting to shed tears impulse.

Gu Zhaoyang looked at Tang Qianhe who was also choking uncomfortably standing in front of the stove, and couldn't help asking, "What are you cooking? Why does it taste so choking?"

Hearing this, Tang Qianhe turned around and smiled mysteriously at Gu Zhaoyang: "Secret."

After speaking, Tang Qianhe turned his head back again, and then lifted the lid of the pot. The aroma came rushing towards him with a choking spicy taste, which made the corners of his eyes redden instantly.

He hasn't eaten spicy food for a long time. Since he came to this world, he has eaten very light dishes every day, which made him feel that his mouth was about to lose the taste, so smelling the smell now, Tang Qianhe felt that he was really miss.

The beef in the pot was already cooked, so Tang Qianhe took the big bowl that had been prepared and started to fill the bowl. After filling the bowl, Tang Qianhe washed the pot with clean water again, and poured it in again after the water evaporated. Oil, put Chinese prickly ash and dried chili and stir-fry. After the red oil is fried, pour the hot oil into the bowl with the beef just now. After this step, the boiled beef is considered complete.

It was obviously not enough for three people to eat a dish of boiled beef, so Tang Qianhe made another dish of fried corn kernels, and then turned off the fire, and the steamed rice on the side was already cooked, exuding the fragrance of rice.

When dinner was ready, Tang Qianhe was sweating all over. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then called Gu Zhaoyang, who had been standing in the yard watching him from the beginning to the end, to come and help.

Gu Zhaoyang walked to Tang Qianhe's side, looked at a pot of vegetables covered with chili peppers, and asked, "Why did you get a plate of chili peppers?"

Tang Qianhe smiled mysteriously: "It's not chili peppers, it's just that there are more chili peppers on it." As he said that, he had already picked up a bowl of boiled beef and walked into the room.

Gu Zhaoyang followed Tang Qianhe with fried corn kernels, curled his lips, thinking, what are you doing so mysteriously?

Putting down the bowl, Tang Qianhe said to Gu Zhaoyang, "Xiaoyang, go ask Xiaoli to come and eat with Lele in his arms."

Hearing this, Gu Zhaoyang turned around obediently and walked out. After a while, he came back with Gu Zhili, holding in his arms Gu Yule who was playing with his brother's hair with his eyes wide open.

As soon as Gu Zhili saw Tang Qianhe, he trotted over, followed him around like a little tail, and asked curiously: "Big brother, what were you cooking just now, it smells delicious, but it's choking Man, both Lele and I sneezed several times."

Tang Qianhe put his chopsticks away, touched the limp hair of the little tail with his free hand, and said with a smile: "I'm making boiled beef, and I felt choking just now because I was frying Chinese prickly ash and pepper."

When Gu Zhaoyang saw Tang Qianhe who was talking happily with his younger brother, his eyes were a little dissatisfied. He also asked just now, but why didn't he answer him.

This dissatisfaction continued until he sat on the bench and Tang Qianhe put a bowl full of white rice in front of him.

When Tang Qianhe found out, he glanced at Gu Zhaoyang. After finding that the other party didn't even look at him, he was a little depressed. How did he provoke the child?

Adhering to the idea of ​​'if a child is angry, he must be coaxed regardless of whether it is your fault', Tang Qianhe asked aloud: "Xiaoyang, what's wrong with you, what did I do wrong?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhili also looked up at his elder brother, blinking his eyes, he found that in recent days, his elder brother always gets angry from time to time, and the expressions on his face are much richer.

——But this kind of brother is more like the previous brother.

"Don't care about your business." Gu Zhaoyang's tone was not very good, and a pimple was formed between his brows.

Tang Qianhe: "..."

Since Gu Zhaoyang didn't want to say anything, Tang Qianhe didn't ask anymore. He stretched out his hand and hugged Gu Yule from Gu Zhaoyang's arms. He lowered his head and teased the child in his arms for a while, then raised his head and said in a warm voice, "Let's eat, vegetable." It won't taste good when it's cold."

Gu Zhili was very interested in the boiled beef in Tang Qianhe's mouth, so he stretched his first chopsticks there, picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, he was sucked in softly by the spicy, but his eyes were very bright .

A piece of beef was swallowed, and Gu Zhili continued to pick up the second piece, his cheeks were bulging, and he ate another piece with a big mouthful of rice.

Gu Zhaoyang saw that his younger brother was eating happily, and he looked at the pot full of peppers. He was actually a little scared. The taste of Linshui Village is not heavy, and he doesn't like spicy food. Therefore, Gu Zhaoyang only ate a dish made of peppers once when he grew up to this age. And this time, it's the second time.

Eating the side dishes in the boiled beef, when Tang Qianhe raised his head, he saw Gu Zhaoyang's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, hesitating whether to put them in the bowl——

So, Tang Qianhe stretched out his chopsticks, quickly picked up a piece of beef and put it into Gu Zhaoyang's bowl, and said with a smile, "Try it, I guarantee you will still want to eat it."

Gu Zhaoyang stared at the beef in the bowl, as if he was about to poke a hole out of it, and he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.

Seeing his brother's tangled appearance, Gu Zhili laughed shamelessly, his lips were red and swollen, and said with a smile: "Brother is a coward, what big brother said is right, it's really delicious, why don't you try it."

Gu Yule, nestled in Tang Qianhe's arms, seemed to understand, and turned his head in the direction of his elder brother, babbling, with rich facial expressions and body language.

Hearing Gu Zhili's words, Gu Zhaoyang finally made up his mind to stuff the beef into his mouth. He originally planned to chew a few mouthfuls before swallowing it. However, after the beef entered his mouth, the tender and smooth taste, accompanied by the spicy taste, directly conquered his sense of taste. The pair of eyes that were originally staring narrowed straight away, and the chopsticks in his hand turned quietly and reached over the bowl of boiled beef.

After dinner, all three of them had red lips and red eyes, but their stomachs were round.

Gu Zhaoyang burped, and had already forgotten the depression just now. He looked at Tang Qianhe and asked curiously, "How did you cook this beef so delicious?"

He used to eat beef. After the cattle in the village died of old age, the family would slaughter the cattle. He couldn't bear to eat them, and then distributed them to every household. However, he remembered that the old cattle's meat was very old and not delicious, but today This boiled beef dish broke his concept, and Gu Zhaoyang discovered that beef can be so delicious, even better than pork.

"Because this meat is a little old, it will be tough if it is directly fried, so I will put the sliced ​​beef into the sauce I made earlier, this sauce has starch in it, so it tastes tender Quite a lot." The starch was made by Tang Qianhe himself before.

"What is starch?" Gu Zhaoyang listened, then asked.

"It's a powder made by grinding potatoes and then drying them in the sun." Tang Qianhe thought for a while and gave such an explanation.

Gu Zhaoyang listened, nodded, and then stopped talking, but lowered his head, rubbed his stomach, and digested food.

Because I ate a lot for dinner.

Slightly stretched.

After resting for a while, Tang Qianhe looked at Gu Zhili who was already yawning, then stood up, gently patted Gu Zhili's head, and asked him to rest.

Gu Zhili rubbed his eyes, nodded obediently, then turned his head and blinked at his brother.

Seeing this, Gu Zhaoyang had no choice but to stand up too, and said to Tang Qianhe, "Then I'll take Xiaoli to rest first, and I ask you to clean up these things." After finishing speaking, he reached out and took it from Tang Qianhe's arms. Gu Yule with his own thumb.

Tang Qianhe waved to him with a smile: "Go, I'll just come here, if you're sleepy too, go and rest too." He saw that Gu Zhaoyang also yawned, after all, he had walked all day today.

"Okay." After finishing speaking, Gu Zhaoyang thought for a while, turned his face away, and quickly added a sentence: "You should also go to bed early, and you have to get up early tomorrow."

After finishing the words, he hurriedly turned around and left the room, as if such a simple word of concern would embarrass him very much, leaving only Tang Qianhe standing in the dim oil lamp, shaking his head helplessly.
