I have been to Chongqing twice, and I feel the charming amorous feelings of the mountain city and the generous character of Chongqing people. However, what impressed me the most was the hot pot in Chongqing.

The pot is full of rolling red soup, and there are peppers, peppers and some unknown condiments floating on the noodles. The bottom of this red pot looks hemp and spicy, which often scares us foreign tourists. But after experiencing Chongqing hot pot several times, I gradually like it and feel that there are many benefits. First, hygiene.

There are many stresses about eating hot pot in Chongqing. Nowadays, most of the pots are replaced by stainless steel washbasins, which are divided into two compartments, called "Yuanyang Hot Pot". One compartment is filled with red soup, and the other compartment is filled with clear soup for those who eat spicy food and those who don't. You can't eat hot pot without an oil dish, that is, put sesame oil in a small dish, add seasonings such as garlic paste, and dip all kinds of scalded dishes in the oil dish to eat, which can not only improve the taste, but also is said to have the effect of cooling and reducing fire.
The history of Chongqing hot pot can be traced back to the ancient Bashu period, and the local special geographical climate and natural conditions have formed unique eating habits. Chongqing, commonly known as the foggy city, has a humid climate. In order to drive away the cold and dampness, manual workers such as trackers and farmers use local materials, build a fire on a stove made of several stones, set up a crock, boil boiling water, put a lot of peppers and peppers into the boiling water, and cook the food before eating. This is the embryonic form of hot pot. Eating habits formed over thousands of years, following the historical development trend, gradually evolved into today's Chongqing hot pot.
Nowadays, with the development of food culture, Chongqing hot pot business is booming. Chongqing hot pot, with a long history of Bashu culture, is spread all over the country and even out of national boundaries.
