Hot pot is a delicacy we often eat, but in recent years someone has invented a word to describe it: hot pot assassin. On February 22, according to media reports, a woman ordered hot pot at a Banu hot pot restaurant in a SEG mall in Xi'an, Shaanxi.

I ordered a portion of potato chips. When the waiter brought the dish, he found that there were only 5 slices in it.

The woman took out her mobile phone and took a video on the spot. From the video, we can see that there are 5 potato slices stacked in a small bowl. They are neither thin nor thick. It is estimated that the total amount is only half a potato.

But its price is not cheap!

This one costs 18 yuan.

There is also a label on the side of the small bowl containing potato slices with text descriptions such as selenium-rich potatoes and cooperation with Dr. Potato.

It can be seen that the main feature of this potato is the word selenium. It is understood that selenium is a life element needed by the human body and is known as the king of anti-cancer.

The Dr. Potato on the label once appeared on CCTV's "Getting Rich" channel and introduced the colorful potatoes he cultivated. In some supermarkets, they can be sold for 6 yuan per pound, which is several times more expensive than ordinary potatoes.

Five slices of potatoes were sold for a high price of 18 yuan. After this matter became a hot search, Banu Hotpot Restaurant responded that the potatoes were selenium-rich potatoes, not ordinary potatoes. They contained more trace elements. According to the food procurement situation,

To set the price.

The hot pot restaurant also explained that the potato slices are divided into large and small portions, with a large portion of 240 grams and a small portion of 120 grams. The bowl may be larger to make the potato slices smaller and thinner.

In response to the merchant's explanation, netizens generally believed that selenium-enriched potatoes are no better than ordinary potatoes and complained that most hot pot restaurants are like this. A few pieces of vegetables sell for more than ten yuan, and a few pieces of meat dare to sell for tens of yuan.

, very expensive.

In fact, when we eat, we not only buy potato chips, but also the service facilities, in-store environment, etc. in the hot pot restaurant. However, it is indisputable that hot pot is indeed getting more and more expensive nowadays. Snacks cost hundreds, and large meals cost thousands.

It hurts in the mouth but hurts in the heart, but as long as the merchant clearly marks the price and quantity, it is not a scam because it is expensive and we can choose not to eat there.
