My friend, your worries are a bit unnecessary. Why do you say that? Don’t be unhappy. Hot pot is not a low-grade delicacy. Do you know why hot pot is so popular in China recently? Hot pot has a long history in China. Why was it not famous in the first place? Now it has become extremely popular in recent decades and is deeply loved by the common people. Let me analyze it for you and you will know how luxurious it is to have a good hot pot meal.

In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a female politician named Empress Dowager Cixi. You should have heard that she especially loved hot pot in her later years. Because it was very cold in the north, the imperial dining room in the palace would think of it. Make her hot pot with various flavors. Since then, Chinese hot pot has spread all over China. Looking at history, hot pot is also a delicacy that has been served in the hall. His noble origin can be seen from his origin. So don’t underestimate the quality of hot pot.

Nowadays, with the reform and opening up, everyone’s living conditions are getting better and better, and there are more and more choices to eat. Gradually, everyone will regard hot pot as a kind of consumption for the poor. In fact, it is not the case. High-end restaurants in first-tier cities There are plentiful hot pots, which are very common and cost thousands per person. They are really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Of course, there are also low-end hot pots, the kind that ordinary people can eat for a few dozen yuan.

In fact, it is quite nice to serve hot pot to guests at home, which makes them appear friendly. If your guests are rich and you want to look rich for fear of being looked down upon by others, that’s fine. It just depends on the ingredients you cook and how rich you want to be. A hot pot can cost thousands of dollars. Very normal, such as shabu-shabu dragon, geoduck, red hair crab, Eastern star spot, blue dragon, and the beef from Little Japan. etc. They all show off your wealthy attitude.

The other way around. It's normal for you to serve guests with a hot pot. No one will say anything. It just depends on what you put in the pot. If all you put in the pot is cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, I guess it's hard to say that you're not cool, so the food is dead. Yes, the key depends on how you use it. Hot pot is used in everyone from the imperial palace to ordinary families. The real problem is not with hot pot, but with our ideas, which need to be changed. When making friends, you have to be attentive and cater to your friends' preferences. It also depends on what your friends like to eat, so you can feed them accordingly.

Friends are happy when they eat together. Friends who are truly close to each other are happy even when they eat pickles together. These are true friends who don’t care too much about what they eat. Friends eating together is just an introduction. Who hasn't had a meal now? It's mainly through the introduction that everyone can get together to chat, talk about life, and talk about the future. This is the theme.

There is another kind of friend who can bring benefits, and you need to like them. You need to know what kind of food your friends like to eat. You can’t just buy what you like, regardless of your friends’ preferences. Feelings, because you are entertaining others, you have to buy some dishes that your friends like. The hot pot is filled with everyone’s favorite dishes. How can I call you stingy? They are all dishes you carefully selected, who can say anything else, so don’t worry about hot pot, just go and find out what dishes your friends like to eat.

We live in a rural area, and my family has invited people to have hot pot during the Chinese New Year for several years. No one said they were stingy, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

Why? Because there are many people. Your dishes are served the same way, but before you finish half of them, they are already cold. If something happens to delay it, the food will be cold by the time it's on the table. The guests couldn't enjoy their meal, and the host also felt bad.

Hot pot doesn’t have this problem. As long as you prepare the shabu-shabu in advance, you can eat whatever you want when the time comes. There won’t be too much food left, and the cook doesn’t have to be in the kitchen all the time. Everyone can have a lively meal.

If you think it is still very simple, then work on soups and dishes. For example, local pig bones are used as the soup base, and shrimp, fatty beef, fish balls, sausages, beef offal, tender mutton, etc. are used for shabu-shabu. There is nothing wrong with using home-grown vegetables as long as they are fresh.

In fact, if you put enough effort into hot pot dishes, the cost will be no less than that of stir-fry dishes. If you can’t prepare so much at once, order two portions of hard dishes, such as braised chicken, sweet and sour fish, or add more side dishes to go with wine.

You can add several portions of seasonings according to the other person’s preference. More wine. Everyone had a great time eating. You have paid attention to every detail and everyone feels your sincerity. What can be wrong?

If you are still accused of poor hospitality at this time, then it’s okay not to have such a friend.

Hello everyone ~ I am food writer Huizi, and I am very happy to answer this question

First of all, if you can invite him to your home for dinner, it means that you have a certain emotional foundation. If you are a normal friend, then as a friend, of course he won't care what you do to him. After all, feelings are there~~

However, nothing is absolute. Some people will think that when I come to your house and you entertain me like this, you must be looking down on me. In order to avoid this embarrassing thing happening.

We should be more prepared to show our respect

When we entertain friends in Chongqing, they all eat hot pot, so how can we look grand? That is to prepare more ingredients. You can refer to the list of ingredients when I entertain friends for hot pot.

Ingredients list:

Meat dishes: tripe, squid, yellow throat, luncheon meat , duck intestines, beef rolls, mutton rolls, scallops, eels, crispy meat, etc.

Vegetarian dishes: enoki mushrooms, cabbage, cauliflower, lotus root, vermicelli, etc.

Dessert: pumpkin cake ( You can buy them in supermarkets and steam them once.)

If there are a lot of people, you can add some dumplings. It’s okay to prepare more portions. I would rather have some left over than tighten my belt, then this is definitely It is high-end and classy.

Hello, I am very honored to participate in answering your questions.

When entertaining friends in the countryside, making hot pot is very good and will not make people feel stingy. Below I recommend how to make hot pot.

1. Prepare side dishes. The side dishes must be rich, both meat and vegetable. For example, beef rolls, lamb rolls, prawns, seafood meatballs, duck intestines, tofu, tofu skin, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, lettuce, fried croquettes, etc. Or know your friends’ preferences and prepare dishes.

2. Stir-fry hot pot ingredients. Prepare the onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, pepper and star anise. Heat the oil and add a spoonful of bean paste to stir-fry until red oil is produced. Then add a large piece of hot pot base and continue to stir-fry. After frying, add water, preferably pork rib soup or chicken soup. After boiling, you can rinse the vegetables.

3. Make sesame sauce.

4. The spicy and fragrant hot pot is finished. The hot pot is very lively and atmospheric for entertaining friends. I hope it can help you.

Since we said we are friends, why should friends care about this? What friends eat is not about the quality of the ingredients, but also the atmosphere and mood.

Simply eating 100 yuan pickled fish with the cheapest beer with my friends. Everyone can eat and talk and laugh all night.

On the contrary, at some hotel banquets, some people who are not speculative eat delicious food for thousands of dollars in the hotel, and they are not necessarily very happy. The fake smile was eager to end and go back to meet a few pig friends and eat barbecue on the street. . .

I believe many men can understand this feeling.

In short, if you are not short of money, hot pot also has many high-end ingredients, such as seafood.

If you don’t have much money at the end of the year, just eat whatever you want. Friends who care about these face issues are not good friends anymore. Friendships don't depend on this.

Making a hot pot feast alone is indeed a bit too monotonous. You can pair it with other side dishes, such as cucumbers, peanuts, or other cold dishes! The overall lack of monotony makes him feel very proud

No. Hot pot is suitable for eating in winter. It is warm and has more varieties of dishes. It is enough to make sure you are full and you can drink enough wine to accompany it. It is already very interesting. Friends don't care about each other, and those who care about you and criticize you are not true friends. Everyone has different criteria for choosing friends.

Eating hot pot is not cheap. Not being stingy.

Prepared Side Dishes When cooking hot pot, the key is that the food will not be cold. In winter, you will lose your appetite when the food is cold. Hotpot is different. And you can cook whatever you want. If there are people who drink, I am preparing to order some braised duck neck. Waiting for the braised vegetables, I will serve food and drinks in the shop. Since we are friends, we don’t care so much. The most important thing is to have fun eating, and it’s also important that the food tastes good.

The happiness of being together with friends has nothing to do with eating and drinking, and you will not lose face because of simple meals

Everyone gathers together to have fun!

It is a good choice to eat hot pot together on a cold day, and it also solves the problem of being difficult to agree on!

If the poster is afraid that his friends will feel stingy, he can make some fried chicken or steam some crabs to go with it, so that everyone can eat well without being misunderstood as being stingy.

Of course, if a friend feels stingy, in fact, such a person can be removed from the friend list in his heart!
