I don't like hot pot very much. Besides better beef and mutton, the ingredients of hot pot are mostly duck intestines and beef venetian blinds. But in Chongqing, hot pot is a hot food, so I put forward this topic, please make it clear.

Chongqing hot pot is a dish in Sichuan cuisine.

It is said that it originated from the bottom of the street. When they saw that the cattle farm didn't want the internal organs of cattle, they picked them up and cooked them in the stove, so they had the prototype of beef hot pot. Of course, some people say that Zigong Salt Gang invented hot pot. I don't want to say more here, except that there was a book "Sichuan Cuisine" in the 1980 s, which contained the origin and practice of hot pot. Hot pot was developed in the 1920s and 1930s, when Chongqing became the capital of the Anti-Japanese War, and people from all over the country gathered here.

Of course, foodies and chefs are here. So someone opened the hot pot to the store, and the butter hot pot was officially born. At that time, each person had a small stove, and a small iron pot was sitting on the stove. The boiled hot pot soup was added to the iron pot, and the dishes could be cooked. The soup in Chongqing hot pot is very particular, consisting of more than 20 kinds of condiments. It is said that the old hen's tube bones should be used to make soup before adding those condiments to form hot pot soup. In the twenties and thirties, people who could eat hot pot were not ordinary people, because a meal was expensive.

I have seen pictures of hot pot in the 1920s and 1930s. The picture shows a young man, about twenty years old, with his hair parted and eating hot pot with vegetables in an iron pot. At that time, raw materials such as beef, bezoar, throat, pork and vegetables were added to the hot pot, which was naturally more upscale than that eaten by peddlers and pawns: only in this way can people who like it be worthy. Because Chongqing became the capital, the butter hot pot climbed into the elegant hall and entered the hotel, otherwise it would still nest in the riverside alley. The chefs changed it from a small pot to a big one. The big pot has a wooden nine-square lattice, and the bottom of the nine-square lattice is empty, which can scald the dishes bought by the guests.

At that time Chongqing accepted people from all over the country. People also use their favorite ways to improve the taste of local recipes, and the butter hot pot is stereotyped by the old chefs: so there is a professional hot pot practice and original materials in the Sichuan cuisine. Hot pot has also taken root and sprouted in the streets of Chongqing. It was only after the reform and opening up that people gradually liked it when they had money, especially in the 1990s when hot pot was very popular in the downtown area. At that time, in the lower half of the city, from Chuqimen Hengjie to Kaixuan Road Street, there were hot pot restaurants with three trailers and one trailer. I was still working at Longevity.

There are also many hot pots with long life. There are not only spicy butter chafing dish but also fresh fish chafing dish. Fresh fish chafing dish soup is made from whole chicken. Only mushrooms, fish and other dishes can be scalded in the pot. At that time, several ticket sellers fished out the chicken in the soup and ate it, which made the boss's beard bent with anger. Longevity spicy hot pot has been around since the 1980s. When I transferred back to the county seat, I knew a hot pot owner, who was from the neighboring town of my wife. I get a discount for eating hot pot, and the business in his shop is getting better. Chongqing is an immigrant city. From the capital to the third-line construction, many foreigners come to Chongqing. Because of its climate and taste, people gradually like butter hot pot. If you don't believe me, you can have a look. In the dog days, some people are eating hot pot shirtless. Because hot pot is delicious, it goes abroad and becomes famous overseas. What's strange about this? Thank you for your question.

This is a strange phenomenon. People in Chongqing will eat hot pot when sweating in summer, and spicy food will be addictive.
