Finely chop the ingredients, then simmer them in 2 sheng of good-quality water until the liquid is completely reduced; alternatively, placing them in a silver vessel over a double boiler to dry them thoroughly is even more effective. First, select the soft and tender parts, cut them, and bake them until half-dry; then combine them with the dry parts and bake until completely dry. Pound and sift into a fine powder.
