Some time ago, I went to Chongqing to play. It was said that Chongqing's hot pot with red oil could make you doubt your life, so I went to eat it on the first day.
But I didn't expect to meet a couple. What they did was really puzzling. I always thought that I went to Chongqing and Chengdu to eat hot pot just to feel spicy and delicious, so I couldn't understand what the couple did.
They ordered a mandarin duck pot. The mandarin duck pot in Chongqing was clear soup with red oil in the middle, but they didn't even want the red oil in the middle, so they took ice to remove the red oil in the middle. At that time, I was shocked. I remembered the bottom line of Sichuanese. Slight spicy is the limit, and Yuanyang pot is a disrespect for Sichuan hot pot. I smiled instantly.
However, for people who are not spicy and unhappy, they really don't understand their practice. They prefer to eat hot pot but don't eat spicy food, so just cook with water. But maybe you really can't eat spicy food, but why do you want to remove the red oil? You can just eat clear soup.
However, I have my own preferences, and I just want to respect the food. If I don't like red oil, I don't need to order it at the beginning. Of course, some people want to try some new tricks after watching online celebrity's video. If so, it only shows that you don't respect food.
