"Chuanchuanxiang", also called "Mala Tang", is actually another form of hot pot, so people often call it a small hot pot. Chuanchuanxiang first appeared in Chengdu in the mid-1980s. At that time, Chongqing hot pot had just entered Chengdu catering market, and some unemployed people in cities and towns set up stalls near some bustling places such as shopping malls, theaters and video halls to make a living. At that time, "stringing incense" was very simple. Operators only need to prepare a small honeycomb briquette stove with a aluminum pot on it, a homemade "mala Tang" marinade in the pot, a small table or a small square stool next to it, and a tray on it. There are some "fragrant" raw materials strung together with bamboo sticks in the tray, and there are a handful of salt, dried Chili noodles and flowers next to the raw materials. When customers patronize, the stall owner who runs "Chuanchuanxiang" picks up the ground raw materials with bamboo sticks, scalds them directly in the marinade in the pot, and then hands them the Chili noodles and pepper noodles in the dish to let them eat while walking. This is the original of "Fragrance". At that time, the preparation of "Chuanchuanxiang" marinade was very simple. Just stir-fry Pixian watercress and ginger with vegetable oil, then add dried pepper, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, fennel, salt and monosodium glutamate, and then add fresh soup to boil. At that time, the variety of raw materials for "chuanchuanxiang" was still relatively single, generally only rabbit waist and dried tofu; Moreover, the price of "string incense" is absolutely cheap, mostly a dime a string. Therefore, "Chuanchuanxiang" was very popular with the masses as soon as it came out. With Chongqing's "beef omasum hotpot" entering Chengdu's catering market in a big way, some savvy merchants suddenly found that "chuanchuanxiang" is not much different from hot pot, but there are more varieties of hot food in hot pot. As a result, merchants began to carry out a major transformation of "Chuanchuanxiang" and soon made a major breakthrough on the original basis. Merchants put all kinds of raw materials that can be scalded on bamboo sticks after processing, and then let customers scald their food. Moreover, since the late 1980s, "Chuanchuanxiang" has been invited into the store, becoming a small hot pot with heavy taste, and the production of "Mala Tang" gravy has become more and more exquisite. Finally, just like the red soup hot pot, a dish of garlic paste and sesame oil was added while dipping the Chili noodles. At present, there are many kinds of raw materials for skewering incense, including beef, chicken, diced yellow meat, crucian carp, squid, quail eggs, beef tripe, yellow throat, meatballs, ham sausage, chicken gizzard, crab roe, dried bean curd, bean curd skin, bean bran, potatoes and taro. As mentioned above, "Chuanchuanxiang" is basically the same as the red soup hot pot in many aspects, but the difference is that the raw materials are put into the pot, cooked and dipped in rapeseed, while "Chuanchuanxiang" is to put the raw materials together with bamboo sticks into the pot, and then scoop up the dipped dishes, mostly dried vegetables. When eating hot pot, except for the hot pot buffet, the dishes ordered are generally priced according to the plate, while the "string" is priced according to the number of bamboo sticks. In addition, the "Chuanchuanxiang" shops are generally low tables and benches, and most of the tables and benches are painted red, which is quite similar to the "menstruation Banquet" for children. It should be said that it is these "exquisite" that increase the warm atmosphere of eating "chuanchuanxiang". In addition, every raw material of "Chuanchuanxiang" is dressed in small strings, so people can naturally choose more varieties when eating "Chuanchuanxiang" than when eating hot pot. Therefore, "Chuanchuanxiang", a small hot pot, has always been very popular with people and was once popular in Rongcheng. (Landlord, this is my own hard work. I hope I can help you.
