Moreover, if your hand slips while chopping, it's easy to get injured.
In comparison, slicing horizontally is much safer.
The chicken is pressed down firmly, preventing any instability that might cause the knife to slip; the force of the blade won't be so excessive as to pierce into the inner cavity.
Lin Xu placed a chicken sideways on the cutting board, and following his senior's example, used a knife to cut along the backbone, slicing from the neck to the tail.
After making the cuts, he carefully removed the chicken's innards.
The innards included the chicken liver, heart, kidney, gizzard, intestines, and more.
Carefully plucking the gallbladder attached to the liver, he set the liver aside in a separate spot, followed by the kidney, and finally grouped the intestines and gizzard together.
The young assistant noticed the innards and curiously asked:
"Boss, should I send the chicken liver downstairs?"
