"No problem, no problem, I'll make sure you get the best ingredients."
「Back at the store.」
Xie Baomin glanced and said with a smile, "This chicken is indeed good, and the quality of the thin-skinned chilies is nice as well. Just wait, it will be ready soon."
After saying that, he took the chickens to the sink and carefully washed off any remaining pinfeathers, as well as the outer membranes from the Chicken Feet, wings, and combs.
Then he snipped off the tips of the Chicken Feet.
After washing everything, he chopped the chicken into pieces, placed them in a basin, and rinsed them twice to wash away the blood.
"Actually, the standard Zaozhuang Spicy Chicken isn't washed; they cook it right after slaughtering. But that requires free-range chickens from Zaozhuang, which we can't get here, so I rinse them twice to clean off the blood."
Xie Baomin's mother grew up in the southwestern Shandong region and was best at making Spicy Chicken.
