Chinese cuisine is profound and rich in regional specialties, including Shaanxi's bashful noodles, Shandong's pancakes and Henan's hot and spicy soup. ...... Thankfully, there's finally a documentary that can chronicle and spread the word about these cuisines, and it's called "Tongue Tip of China".

Many local cuisines have become famous through the documentary, such as Juying's noodle shop, but Henan's hot and spicy soup, which is featured in the latest season, has always faced an embarrassing situation.

The status of huzhi soup in Henan's culinary world is similar to that of Elvis Presley in the 1980s in the United States in the hearts of the people. No Elvis, no music, no hu spicy soup talk about breakfast.

Henan people's breakfast, whether it is the roadside stalls, or high-grade star hotel, can be seen in the figure of Hu spicy soup. In the eyes of Henan people in Zhoukou Xihua County town of Hu spicy soup is the most well-known, which the town of Gao Ji spicy hot on the tongue of China on the "tongue".

While it was only a four-minute appearance in the documentary, the crew spent 10 days filming in the town. As Tip of the Tongue introduces in the opening credits, "A bowl of hot pepper soup reflects the feelings and character of the people of Henan. Deep-rooted food preferences give wanderers a place to stay, and the flavor of hu chili soup warms the hearts of wanderers every time."

The simmering of a bowl of Hu Spicy Soup involves nearly thirty kinds of seasonings and ingredients such as pepper, peppercorns, star anise, fennel, tofu and vermicelli. A variety of ingredients between the strong complementary advantages and disadvantages so that the Hu spicy soup in the spicy base glowing food unique flavor, the soup is rich, spicy and delicious. The drowsiness after waking up in the morning and the fatigue after working are all melted away in a bowl of Hu Spicy Soup.

Through the "Tongue on the China" we learned that in the town of only 50,000 people, there are 4,200 families of more than 20,000 people chose to make a living outside to sell Hu spicy soup. They have spread their footprints to more than 20 provinces and cities across the country, as well as spreading this cuisine to more people.

However, this cuisine has not gone smoothly. As we can see from the comments of most netizens, hu chili soup is defined as a northern snack, which is actually not very common in the south, and in addition to its general appearance, most southerners don't like its flavor.

On the other hand, there is no uniform method for the production of hot soup, not the same stores are not the same taste, can not be standardized how to make the taste of hot soup agreed, how to go to the promotion of Henan hot soup craft descendants will be the place to try to explore.
