Ever since it became popular due to its unique terrain and urban style, Chongqing is now becoming an Internet celebrity city.

In the 8D Chongqing, it is difficult to find the road. There are tall buildings above your head and tens of thousands of cliffs under your feet. Electronic navigation systems blame each other. Riding the light rail is like experiencing a roller coaster. There are often irregular dances in front of the Jiefang Monument.

Tourists are already used to it, such as group dancing and filming.

Also, Chongqing is a city of gourmet food, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to the spicy and heavy taste.

But what I’m going to talk about today is another “habit” that is common on the streets of Chongqing. I wonder if you can get used to it? The old rules, let’s get straight to the point.

1 There is a food street in Chongqing called Bayi Road, right next to the Liberation Monument. There are many snacks and the street is full of fragrance.

All kinds of classic snacks in Chongqing, as long as they can be named, can be found on this street. The famous Internet celebrity Sour Cow is also popular all over the country from this road.

It was also on this street that I discovered an interesting phenomenon: Chongqing people, both male and female, old and young, like to sit on the curb to eat, or just carry a simple paper lunch box,

Squat down there with a pair of ordinary chopsticks, and eat very deliciously? There is a trash can next to you.

I often see Chongqing people driving their private cars and stopping at a century-old store to buy a bowl of hot and sour noodles. They squat on the curb like this, cleaning the food with three strokes and using disposable tableware.

He threw it into the trash can next to him and drove away in a hurry.

Later, I traveled all over the mountain city and found "foodies on the curbs" all over the riverside and alleys.

2. After having many contacts with friends in Chongqing, and studying the humanities and history of Chongqing, I understand this phenomenon.

Although there are many delicacies in Chongqing, they are generally divided into two types: snacks and hot pot.

In the early days, Chongqing hot pot was not eaten together by many people like it is now, because at that time, Chongqing Bangbang people liked to eat a cheap hot pot around the stoves of food stalls on the riverside and roadside every morning.

The pot is called shabu-shabu shabu-shabu. From the Qing Dynasty to the present, this habit of "sitting on the curb to eat" must have been passed down from that time to this day.

Later, Chongqing hot pot has been continuously upgraded after a hundred years and moved into the "Elegance Hall". However, all kinds of snacks have always been scattered on the roadside in small portions and small bowls. People still sit on the curb, just

It tastes particularly delicious when eaten like this.

3 Next, let’s take stock of what Chongqing looks like to me as a tourist. When traveling in Chongqing, there are several types of snacks that are particularly suitable for eating while sitting on the roadside.

Hot and sour noodles.

This can be said to be a world-famous Chongqing delicacy. It has even evolved into "Northern Hot and Sour Rice Noodles" and "Southern Hot and Sour Rice Noodles". The ingredients vary depending on the region.

But no matter how it tastes? Improved?, only the hot and sour noodles eaten locally in Chongqing are the most authentic. They are sour and spicy enough, and they also have a little staying power. The more you eat, the number they become, and the fragrance lingers in your stomach for a long time after eating.

When I return from Mount Tai, I don’t see Yue, and when I return from Chongqing, I don’t see my fans.

Bobo Chicken.

A snack called "chicken", but not exactly chicken.

Bobo is an earthen pot. More than a hundred years ago, people in Sichuan and Chongqing cut chicken into slices, skewered them with bamboo skewers, soaked them in spicy soup, and took one skewer after eating. It was very convenient.

It’s perfect for eating on the side of the road or while walking.

Today's Bobo Chicken is mostly vegetarian, but still has the taste of chicken. It is one of the favorite street foods of young people in Chongqing.

4 Let’s talk about some unique sweets in Chongqing.

Cold shrimp.

A popular dessert on the streets of Chongqing, these "little lumps" floating in it are like shrimps, hence the name.

I have never seen any kind of rice noodles and brown sugar juice mixed with such a sweet taste. Girls who like sweets must not miss it.

Cold cake.

Friends who don’t like sweets can order this cold cake to eat. It is glutinous, smooth and soft. The sweet juice of the brown sugar is separated from the cake body. If you want it sweeter, just scoop a little more juice into the mouth.

If you can't eat sweets, just eat less.

5Chongqing is a livable and interesting city.
