This image captures two individuals engaged in food preparation within what appears to be a communal kitchen or preparation area in China, evidenced by visible Chinese text "花生粉" (peanut powder) on a spice jar. The precise location within Daxing District is not visually ascertainable. On the left, a male subject with a dark complexion stands facing the counter, looking downwards. He wears a black baseball cap, a dark blue varsity-style jacket with cream sleeves over a dark grey sweatshirt featuring a white graphic of three running figures and accompanying text. His hands are clasped behind his back. On the right, a female subject with a dark complexion is actively working at the counter. Her hair is styled in cornrows pulled back into a bun adorned with a pink scrunchie. She wears a light green short-sleeved top and dark blue denim. Her right hand is visible, positioned over a small wooden cutting board, with green fragments suggesting chopped ingredients. She appears to be using a dark implement, possibly a knife. The metal counter surface between them is laden with various objects: * A large white mixing bowl containing a light brown mixture, with a wooden spoon and a second wooden utensil inserted. * A smaller dark brown ceramic bowl containing a substance, also with a wooden spoon. * Two small yellow-capped plastic jars, one clearly labeled "花生粉" (peanut powder). * A clear spray bottle. * Scattered small red fragments, likely chopped onions or shallots, on the counter surface. * A black plastic container with a lid. * A clear plastic bottle of water. * A clear rectangular plastic container. * A black speckled pot with red handles, positioned near the female subject. * Partially visible below the counter are a red-orange spice jar and a green manual slicer/grater. The background features a plain white wall with light grey tiled wainscoting. Several white sheets of paper with text are taped to the wall. To the far right, a brown wooden door frame is visible, leading into another room.
