In an open-air market, a woman in a pink shirt and black apron uses a blowtorch on a small, plucked chicken. The chicken hangs from a metal hook among other chickens. The woman wears transparent plastic gloves and holds the chicken by its feet as she applies the blue flame of the torch along its body. Behind her, customers are buying and packaging fruit at a counter. Banners with Chinese characters are visible in the background. The chickens are pale yellow and pink. The overall lighting of the market is bright, provided by overhead lamps.
