slack: narrow — thirty-five minutes at a shiver and never a boil, or the skin splits and the breast dries while the thighs come up

washing-up: the stockpot, a sieve to strain the lou sui, a jar to keep it in

keeps: 3 days — meant to be eaten cool, so it loses almost nothing; keep the master sauce in its own jar

step: rest in the pot 20 min, brush with sesame oil, chop
