Chongqing is a hot pot city, not only because of the smell of hot pot that permeates the streets, but also because the scenery here is as old as hot pot soup. Micari, Chongqing people's personality is a bit as spicy as hot pot soup, wrapped in a little silk.

Chongqing Pictures: Yellowing photos in memory.

Chongqing in my memory is an old photo with a yellowed background: this is the Jialing River where I lived when I was a child. The cargo ship sailed across the Green River and pulled out a long whistle. In the distance, the majestic outline of Jialing River Bridge is clearly visible. My grandmother called me home for dinner at the end of the stone road, and the neighbor's house with blue bricks and gray tiles was lit and smoke rose.

Rows of tall buildings, bustling streets and avant-garde crowds are the present scene of this city. Standing on the streets of Chongqing, I will also sigh that the city has made rapid progress. It is estimated that few people remember the plum blossom in Nanshan, the Liangjiang Pavilion in Erling, the Yangtze River cableway on Xinhua Road and the bench surface of Shibanpo, flying kites at Coral Dam in spring and digging trouser legs to move crabs by the river in summer. On the last spring outing of primary school, the school organized a picnic to eat hot pot at Coral Dam. The hot pot meal was really simple, but now when I meet my primary school classmates, I will occasionally mention the different experience of facing the river wind and boiling hot pot on the beach.

Chongqing Hotpot: That's what I want.

Chongqing people are addicted to eating hot pot. Calling friends, getting together to eat a hot pot and drink a box of beer is the daily life of Chongqing people.

Northerners call hot pot "shabu-shabu". A copper pot is filled with clear water, with a few pieces of onion, ginger and medlar floating on it, and a few pieces of mutton and beef as thin as paper are sandwiched with chopsticks. Wrap it in sesame sauce and fermented bean curd before the entrance, add a few cloves of sugar and garlic, and eat it fresh and tender. Chongqing's hot pot is bright red and sparkling, with bubbles churning. Put a plate of yellow throat hairy belly, pour a basket of bean sprouts and green bamboo shoots, order a large bottle of Wei Yi soybean milk, open half a dozen beers and serve with a shiny garlic dish. The important thing is to be bold and carefree.

Needless to say, the origin of hot pot is not as elegant as instant-boiled mutton or the emperor entertaining centenarians. To put it bluntly, it is the creative move of the boatman at the dock to satisfy his hunger after work. The hometown people's obsession with hot pot is also because they eat and drink equally, regardless of the price, and they are hearty and hearty when eating hot pot.

Chongqing's hot pot pays attention to the old oil and old soup, the old oil is cooked with butter, and the old soup is slowly stewed with old hen soup. This old oil soup has been criticized for its hygiene in recent years, but it tastes better. There is no doubt that if you occasionally get a guest's "leftovers" at the dinner table, you should not take it too seriously.

Chongqing people are very talented in studying food. The old family used all the ingredients to rinse the hot pot, the most famous joke on the Internet. When something comes out, Chongqing people laugh, "Use it to rinse hot pot!" Although exaggerated, it also stems from the love of hot pot. Cann't get used to Chili? You can eat Yuanyang pot. Red soup pot is boring to eat, as well as fish hotpot, beef hotpot and rabbit hotpot.

You can eat hot pot in the open air or in rainy days. It is unusual to set a table in the river ditch to eat hot pot, and to open a "hole hot pot" in the air raid shelter, just like in the movie "Hot Pot Hero", a greasy and dark bench, a white tile stove and a pot of old shady tea. This is what you want.

Chongqing people: honest and frank Zhanyi brothers.

Some people say that Chongqing people's personality is like this boiling hot pot, burning, honest and frank, full of enthusiasm. In Chongqing dialect, close friends are called "brothers". After drinking several glasses of beer and eating a hot pot, we got acquainted, met briefly, grabbed the bill, and made an appointment to have a drink and dinner together next time. Chongqing people often say "non-existent" and "very flat", which is similar to "a piece of cake" and "can do it" in Mandarin. It shows the honesty and boldness of Chongqing people and exudes a simple and heavy Jianghu atmosphere.

I used to think that the character of Chongqing people was deeply influenced by the dock culture, so I was informal and straightforward. But I gradually found that my hometown people are optimistic, frank, open-minded and cheerful, and prefer this pot of hot pot with red oil. It is warm and spicy, and it is our familiar life. Therefore, we can be busy for the livelihood of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and laugh at the helplessness of life; We laughed and teased our parents, but we got into trouble with our relatives and friends and immediately let bygones be bygones. Afterwards, I shouted "Let's eat hot pot together", and then we made up.

Beijingers are always a little smelly and poor when joking, but Chongqing people are really humorous, and spicy "words" emerge one after another, making fun of life. "life malatang" and "Night Talk in Fog City" are must-see for every household in Chongqing. I've been away from home for a long time and I'm worried about others gossiping, gossiping about them in dialect.

Folklorists trace the character of Chongqing people back to the tradition of Ba people's martial arts, loyalty and pragmatism, which is also influenced by modern fashion and foreign culture. I regard the personality of my hometown party more poetically as the two rivers at Chaotianmen Wharf, with the Jialing River surging and the Yangtze River gentle. However, thanks to the intersection of the two rivers, the Tongqu Wharf is full of weather. Therefore, whether it is the blending of ancient and modern times or the internal and external shocks, it has nurtured the inclusive personality of the ancient family and made the city present such diverse charm.

I have been to several cities and met some people since I left the mountain city for more than ten years. I occasionally call home and say that I want to eat hot pot recently, but I still can't say it. I am homesick.

Chongqing, reunion after a long separation, warm and festive. The son of Xiaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty sealed the king or emperor here, giving the city originally called "Duke of Zhou" various auras. He didn't expect that in the past thousand years, this quaint and fashionable city has become the concern of many wandering wanderers, and has also accepted and tolerated many strangers who have come here. This concern and affection is the Chongqing complex. They are just like me. (End)
