It uses chili and Sichuan peppercorns as seasonings and a variety of delicious ingredients. It is very delicious.

2. Chuan Chuan hot pot is fragrant. The bottom of the pot is rich and spicy. The food is skewered with bamboo skewers and eaten hot. It is served with an oil dish or a special dry dish. Mix peanuts, chili powder and other spices with sauce, and then boil it.
Pour a spoonful of their base soup, mix it up, and then you can dip it into the skewers. Lemon beef, crab roe beef, ginger beef, garlic beef, etc. Just one beef skewer can create a variety of flavors.
