As a delicacy with Chinese characteristics, hot pot is very popular in various parts of the country.

However, under the management of some unscrupulous merchants, some unreasonable behaviors have gradually become "hot pot assassins", seriously affecting consumers' consumption experience.

Let’s take a look at some common “hot pot assassins”.

Potato and pork bones Many hotpot restaurants will put potato and pork bones at the bottom of the pot to increase the umami flavor at the bottom of the pot.

However, some unscrupulous merchants will mix pig bones into potatoes to reduce the number of potatoes and increase their profits.

In this way, consumers will find that the number of potatoes is very small, but the number of pork bones is large, resulting in a bad consumer experience.

Shao-ing hot pot restaurants often put less ingredients when serving, such as mushrooms, duck blood, vermicelli, etc., in order to reduce costs and increase their profits.

However, not only does this reduce consumer satisfaction, it can also lead to food waste.

Price increase routines: Some unscrupulous merchants will increase prices through various means, such as erasing the price on the menu and adding a higher price on it; or privately increasing the number of dishes without consumers paying attention, so that

Consumers' bills have increased significantly.

Few Seasonings Seasonings are a very important part of hot pot. For consumers, the taste of hot pot mainly depends on the quality and quantity of the seasonings.

However, some unscrupulous merchants will mix some cheap ingredients into the seasonings or reduce the quantity of seasonings to increase their profits.

Deliberately increasing time limits Some unscrupulous merchants will deliberately increase time limits when serving, such as starting to clear the table before consumers are full, or urging consumers to leave when it is almost over.

As a result, consumers' dining experience will be greatly affected, and merchants will also lose some loyal customers.

In short, while enjoying hot pot delicacies, consumers should also pay attention to possible bad behaviors of some businesses.

Choose a regular hot pot restaurant and pay attention to the menu and bill to avoid becoming a victim of the "hot pot assassin".
