Cut the oranges à vif *.

* à vif: when you have to cut fruit à vif, it is mainly to cut the skin off the flesh in a structured way. You start by cutting off the top and bottom of your fruit, so that your object stays firmly on the table. Then take a sharp knife and cut the skin from top to bottom. Always try to place the knife just behind the skin and follow the shape of your fruit. After removing the peel, take the fruit in your hands and make one grain per slice of fruit (there is usually a membrane between the different pieces, go along with a sharp knife) so that the pieces of fruit come loose nicely.
