Hot pot is a delicacy that many of us like to eat, and for Sichuan and Chongqing people, the hotter the weather, the more they like to eat hot pot.

They enjoy the feeling of two worlds: the heat and spicy taste of hot pot on the one hand, and the coolness of ice beer on the other.

Among the many hot pot pot bases, apart from Yuanyang pot, Jiugongge is the most popular.

This kind of nine-square hot pot first emerged in Chongqing.

Regarding the origin of Jiugongge hot pot, there are several different theories as follows: 1. The dock theory. In the past, many poor people would work on the dock to earn some pocket money to subsidize their families and support their families.

At that time, Chaotianmen Pier was also a place for livestock slaughter.

Those butcher vendors, when they are eating, will wash the beef leaves that cannot be sold and use them to cook in spicy pots.

I think this is also the earliest prototype of hot pot!

When everyone thought this way of eating was beautiful, they all imitated the hawker's approach.

But there were not that many pots for cooking, so they came up with the idea of ??dividing a pot into several portions. This way, even strangers could eat their own food without taking advantage of each other.

2. Temperature, easy to distinguish. In the Jiugongge hot pot in many places, different temperatures and butter concentrations exist in different grids.

This can also differentiate hot pot ingredients in a targeted manner.

Use the high temperature of the middle grid to place dishes that are resistant to cooking; or cook dishes that are very easy to cook, such as tripe, yellow throat, etc.

In addition to this, there is another advantage; that is, you can cook different dishes in different grids, which can also avoid the occurrence of mutual flavor contamination, and at the same time, each dish can be fished out.

In addition to the above two statements, there is another statement that is clean and hygienic.

In order to prevent the appearance of "saliva hot pot", each person has a small grid and each cooks his or her favorite dishes.
