I love Chongqing’s hot pot

Chongqing is a legendary city with unique characteristics, such as Hechuan peach slices, Fengjie navel oranges, and Yongchuan’s delicious black bean paste and Chongqing noodles. But, my favorite thing is the hot pot.

Chongqing hot pot has a long history, which can be traced back to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It originated from the extensive dining style of boat trackers on the Jialing River, Chaotianmen and other docks in Chongqing. With the progress of history, today's delicious hot pot gradually formed and became a major feature of Chongqing. When you walk into a hot pot restaurant, you will be greeted by a refreshing aroma that makes you intoxicated. After finding a seat and sitting down, we started ordering. Today's hot pot side dishes are no longer the few in the past. River fresh food, seafood, various types of poultry, meat, animal products and vegetables are simply dazzling. Among the many dishes, I think the fresh beef tripe is the most delicious.

After a while, the side dishes and the pot were served. The pot was a bright red, and the spiciness of the chili peppers, the numbness of the peppercorns, and the freshness of the broth were intertwined, making people salivate. "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." The hot pot is not yet cooked at this time. It is inappropriate to rush to cook the dishes, because this will only make the pot cook later, and the dishes will not be cooked easily. Not only will you not be able to bite It moves and has no smell.

The "squeaky" soup is like a naughty child restless in the pot, jumping around and getting more and more violent. This is a good time to serve. I quickly picked up a piece of beef tripe and stuffed it into the center where the soup was juicy. At this time, the tripe is like a small boat, rising and falling in the rough waves, as if it is about to sink, which is very interesting.

Gradually, the color of the "small boat" became darker, and it seemed that it was about to capsize in the "sea". With lightning speed, I picked up the tripe and stuffed it into my mouth. ,ah. So hot! But then came the spicy and numbing stimulation. I felt that my whole lips were out of control, but it felt so good. I took a bite and the overflowing soup was full of evocative aroma and umami. I wanted to take a bite, but I reluctantly swallowed it until the tripe fell into small pieces.

“I still want to eat after eating, and I still want to come back after eating.” Chongqing hot pot is like this, giving you a strong taste impact. The fresh, spicy and spicy flavors are naturally mixed together, making people intoxicated in the ocean of food. All worries and worries disappear in an instant, bringing only countless enjoyment and the spicy and delicious flavor. "Waiter, two more portions of tripe!"

The taste echoes in people's mouths and hearts. I don't want it to disappear, so I keep eating. ah! Chongqing hot pot is delicious.

The “numbing, spicy and hot” flavor of Chongqing hot pot also represents the enthusiastic, forthright and upright character of our Chongqing people. I am proud to be a Chongqing native!

I love Chongqing’s hot pot, but I love this unique and historic metropolis even more! Chongqing, Bashi!
