Gu Yi and Ye Qian went to the market two days before the opening to buy three pounds of chicken, five pounds of pork belly, two pounds of cartilage, five pounds of chicken wings, and some small dried river fish.
Gu Yi originally wanted to buy some beef and mutton, but there were none for sale in the county yet.
After returning, the two of them got busy right away.
They washed all the purchased items thoroughly.
The chicken and pork belly were cut into small pieces, the cartilage into sections, and the chicken wings were scored.
Once everything was ready, they added seasoning, mixed it well, and covered it with a lid to marinate overnight.
The next day, the Gu Family Brothers delivered the bamboo skewers.
Gu Yi and Ye Qian washed all the bamboo skewers clean and boiled them once more.
