Shen Ning thought about it, figuring that Gu Hong deliberately wanted to show off, so she gave him this opportunity.
Anyway, she has already prepared the seasonings, so it’s just a matter of frying the meat.
After hearing what Shen Ningsi said, Gu Hong blinked and quickly flipped the pot with the spatula.
He stared at the meat in the pot, as if he wanted to see through the iron pot with his eyes.
"General Gu... General Gu!"
Looking at the man's vicious eyes, Shen Ningsi's heart skipped a beat. He called out twice before he saw Gu Hong turn around.
Shen Ningsi forced a smile and said, "General Gu, if you find these things troublesome, you don't have to do them at all. Why not leave it to me?"
After saying this, Shen Ningsi hesitated for two breaths, and shook his hands repeatedly, saying: “General, please don’t misunderstand me. I definitely don’t mean that you dislike the trouble of these things.”
She looked at Gu Hong's bitter and resentful face with a frown on his face, and her heart tightened.
I don't know what Gu Hong is thinking, but Shen Ningsi thinks it's better not to leave these things to him. This is the family's food. If Gu Hong gets angry and secretly puts something unclean in the dish, it will be hard to guard against.
"I'm not unhappy..."
He saw what Shen Ningsi was worried about, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell what it means for the flesh to change color.”
In the past, Shen Ningsi had seen people who couldn't cook complain about the difficulties they encountered in cooking on the Internet. She never thought that she would meet such a person one day.
She waved her hand and explained, "General, you see, those meats are the ones that have been marinated but not stir-fried. Their color is different from the meat in the pot now, right?"
"You're right, but doesn't the meat slowly change color while it's being stir-fried? Besides, the piece of meat is so big, how can I tell if the meat inside has changed color?"
“…”
Shen Ningsi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't want to discourage Gu Hong's enthusiasm, so he continued to explain.
"The texture of meat also feels different when you press it with a spatula, doesn't it? Once it's cooked through, the texture won't change. Besides, meat is only cooked through when it doesn't change color. If it changes color slowly during the cooking process, you don't have to worry about it at all."
Perhaps he realized that Shen Ningsi really wanted to explain to him what it meant to fry the meat.
Gu Hong also decided to get to the bottom of it and resolve all the doubts in his mind.
"But won't the texture of the meat change if it's fried for too long? Since I'm doing this, of course I want to do it right and achieve the best taste!"
"So I need an exact cooking time to determine when the meat is done."
Shen Ningsi laughed angrily, and she crossed her arms in front of her.
"General Gu, the road is walked step by step, and the meal is eaten bite by bite. You still haven't figured out what it means when the meat is cooked, and you want a precise cooking time?"
Hearing the anger in Shen Ningsi's words, Gu Hong coughed lightly.
"Aren't you still by my side? With you here, of course I can have an accurate time. Besides, you only need to tell me once and I'll remember it."
Shen Ningsi couldn't bear it any longer and took a deep breath. She took the spatula back into her hand and glanced at Gu Hong coldly.
"It's impossible to have an exact time for cooking. It's all based on a feeling. The heat is different, and the meat in the pot is also different. How can there be a definite time? It's better not to trouble you with these things, General."
Shen Ningsi found it ridiculous. How could she think that Gu Hong could handle these things?
Gu Hong didn't expect Shen Ningsi to take action directly. Caught off guard, he actually let Shen Ningsi take the spatula away.
"No one is born with these skills, I'm still learning!"
Gu Hong was furious, but Shen Ningsi gave him a cold look and forced all his next words back.
"General Gu, do you want to go out on your own, or should I ask you to go out myself?"
Gu Hong gritted his teeth viciously, snorted coldly, and turned around.
Who wants to stay in a place like the kitchen!
In ordinary families, it is uncommon for men to cook.
Although he was full of dissatisfaction, Gu Hong's action of closing the kitchen door could still be described as gentle.
Looking at the little rascals standing in front of him, Gu Hong snorted coldly.
"Your mother feels sorry for me and says a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so she doesn't let me get close. From what I know, you guys have been helping out in the kitchen quite a bit."
Gu Xiuwen grabbed his brother who was about to rush forward to defend himself, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"From what Dad said, you mean that Mom loves you, but can arbitrarily arrange for us to do work. Mom cares more about you than us?"
Gu Hong couldn't suppress the slight curl of his lips. He pretended to be calm and said, "Gu Shi didn't allow me to say this in front of you and specifically told me to keep it secret. This is the conclusion you all came up with cleverly. Don't go confront your mother about it."
"Oh~"
Gu Xiuwen nodded with a half-smile, and Gu Hong finally realized something was wrong. He stared at Gu Xiuwen coldly.
"What do you want to say?"
Gu Xiuwen just smiled gently, "Yun'er said she wanted to come and see how Dad and Mom get along, so we were standing here almost as soon as Dad entered the kitchen. We heard all the conversations in the kitchen."
“…”
All the expressions on Gu Hong's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. He looked at the young man in front of him in silence with a cold face.
Gu Xiuwen was calm and said, "Dad, we didn't mean to deceive you. You just said it yourself. We didn't deliberately guide you."
Gu Hong was the one bragging in front of them, but he didn't expect that they heard the entire conversation between the two people in the room.
No matter how strange this matter is, it cannot be blamed on them.
Sanyazi was no longer surprised by Gu Hong's frustrated look.
He finally realized that no matter how powerful a general was outside, he had to bow to his wife and children when he returned home.
He pretended to have just returned from outside and went over to greet her.
"General, Lord Fan Xing has already made arrangements. Once Madam is feeling better, you can go and inspect her anytime."
Gu Hong waved his hand, "I understand, go down."
Sanyazi was delighted and tried to retreat quickly, but before he could take a few steps back, Gu Hong's voice rang out again.
"Wait, go ask someone to build a small kitchen for me in a nearby open space, and then find some cooks to make snacks."
Gu Hong gritted his teeth, "I just don't believe it. Shen Ningsi can cook and make dim sum? Does she really know everything?"
