What is Lupai Hotpot?
Lupai Hot Pot: Hot pot boiled by caravans in wells on dry roads. In the old society, Nanshan Huang Jue Ancient Road was quite busy. It connects the ancient tea-horse road in Yunnan from Chongqing via Yelang, Guizhou, and is the only way for merchants to transport goods. Many years ago, the caravan came to a clearing near the wellhead to rest. In order to drive away the cold as soon as possible, the horse's feet drew well water and set up a pot to start cooking. While cooking the soup for dispelling cold, the girl in charge of cooking accidentally dropped the cloth bag containing various seasonings into the pot. Because the water temperature was too high, she didn't dare to reach for it, so she simply let it cook in the pot. After a while, the red waves in the pot rolled and the fragrance was overflowing. The girl subconsciously poured the "pig into the water" and "cow into the water" into the pot. The smell attracted other clowns and they couldn't wait to eat. Hemp, spicy, fresh and fragrant make everyone feel hearty and comfortable.

Since then, this kind of dried ginger, pepper and pepper spice, which can remove cold and dampness, relieve fatigue and refresh the mind, the iron pot carried by the horse for filling and warming the stomach, and the way of cooking and eating have gradually become popular in the caravan and Nanshan old factory, forming the most representative and unique Nanshan Lupai hot pot.

The bottom of Lupai hot pot is boiled with the sweet well water in Nanshan, and it is scalded with fresh offal and fresh tripe slaughtered in the farm cattle slaughterhouse that day. But more importantly, Lupai hot pot is mainly in the open air. With the help of the natural environment of trees and flowers in Nanshan, diners can enjoy spicy and delicious hot pot while overlooking the night view of Chongqing. This way of eating was quickly recognized by the public.

The local pie on the mountain and the water pie on the river belong to the category of Chongqing hot pot. Although the concept of "Lupai Hotpot" is not taken seriously by outsiders, it has attracted the attention of relevant departments of Nan 'an District Government. After the Nan 'an District Government organized experts and professors from all walks of life to offer suggestions collectively and read a lot of historical materials to make textual research, the official finally recognized this statement and changed "Nanshan Hot Pot Street" to "Lupai Hot Pot Street". Since then, there has been a saying that "invite people to eat hot pot and go to Nanshan to eat Lupai hot pot".
