Writing idea: Write about hometown food, take Chongqing hot pot as an example. First introduce the origin of Chongqing hot pot, then write about the characteristics of Chongqing hot pot, and finally write some stories about Chongqing hot pot.

When people mention Chongqing, they will think of the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Weishui River, a city with rolling mountains and a hot personality. Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been a new business card - hot pot.

Hot pot originated from the Liao people’s mutton-shabu cooking. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty army entered the Central Plains and captured six counties and eighty-one states along the Yangtze River. Since then, hot pot has spread from the Central Plains. Later, the Ming Dynasty army defeated the Yuan army, but the hot pot was passed down.

Today’s hot pot is very different from that of the past. In addition to the previous ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, and pepper, auxiliary ingredients such as watercress, cloves, star anise, fennel, and cinnamon are added to make it more delicious. Moreover, it is divided into more than ten flavors such as spicy pot, soup pot, mandarin duck pot, etc. It is really a delicious dish suitable for all ages.

The making and eating of hot pot are extremely simple. Prepare the soup, then add the raw food to cook. Instructions to cook until cooked, you can fish it out and eat.

The most tempting thing is when the food in the soup is cooked. The red and oily spicy pot and the fragrant soup pot are boiling at the same time. One side is extremely warm, while the other side is extremely hot. Round, golden shrimp balls and meatballs; slippery, bright vermicelli and rice noodles; shiny yellow, crispy and fragrant raw bran and yuba.

The shiny and pink beef, lamb, and fish fillets are all floating on the soup surface, making you salivate. The incomparable aroma hits your face, making it hard for you to refuse. Pick up a piece of tender mutton and put it into your mouth, and your taste buds will be completely touched. The rich aroma, hotness, sourness and sweetness will all come to you, making you unable to stop.

Once when I went to a hot pot restaurant, I said I must eat spicy hot pot once, and my father readily agreed. After all the dishes were served, I picked up a piece of mutton and put it in the soup to scald it. After a while, I picked it up and started eating it. The spicy food immediately made my eyes water and I couldn't even drink three glasses of water to get rid of the spicy food. But I still love hot pot. Who told me that I am a descendant of Chongqing people?

In the cold winter, when you are shivering from the cold, you might as well come to a hot pot restaurant. After eating a pot, the hot and fragrant taste will definitely overflow your whole body, making you sweep away the cold and feel warm all over your body.
