No takeout slogan

As a Chongqing native, I once told my foreign friends that the hot pot in Chongqing is absolutely the best in the country, not only the most authentic taste, but also the cheapest price.

Now, I can confidently say the first two sentences, but in the end, the level of "price" seems to be somewhat different now.

From the point of view of hot pot merchants, the cost of refining old oil is actually higher than that of new oil, which needs to be stored during re-refining, and the old oil needs to be submitted to relevant departments for review. Therefore, from the perspective of cost and profit, old oil is not only troublesome, but also less profitable. Although the new oil lacks the taste of the old oil, it will inevitably charge the bottom of the pot when it is implemented on consumers, so the overall price will naturally come up.

Especially after the renovation of "old oil", almost every hot pot restaurant in Chongqing began to collect pot bottom fees, which is the first reason why hot pot became expensive. If we want to dig deeper, the raw material cost of old oil is very low, but the labor cost of refining old oil is extremely high (many shops will not refine old oil). On the whole, the cost of old engine oil is actually higher than that of new engine oil.

In the eyes of merchants, the cost of new oil is lower and the profit is higher. Of course, I will choose a new engine oil. After it is implemented on consumers, the bottom fee will be charged for each table of hot pot, and the price of hot pot will naturally become higher.

Of course, behind the price increase of hot pot, it is also inseparable from the rise of various hot pot ingredients, labor costs, rent and water and electricity.

To sum up, if you eat a hot pot in Chongqing now, 80 yuan per capita is only average. If you meet an affordable fly restaurant, you must go to 50 yuan, even if you pick it up.

80 yuan's per capita consumption is not low in Chongqing. There is little difference between eating a hot pot, a barbecue or a fried chicken with this expenditure, which is probably between "I can cook at home" and "I can't cook at home".

Hot pot, the vast majority of Chongqing people can easily make a decent meal at home, so why go out and spend that "wasted money"? Therefore, those "I can't make it myself at home" foods have become the choice of more Chongqing people.

If I have to choose, Youpin, as a barbecue lover, the answer is obvious. How crazy am I about barbecue? I had three barbecues in five days, whether it was Japanese or Korean.

The reason why eating hot pot now is much more expensive than before has a lot to do with the market industry and the average consumption level of people now. Prices have risen sharply, and the wages of diners have also increased. Therefore, the current operating costs of hot pot restaurants will only increase. If the original consumption level is maintained, it is actually difficult for hot pot restaurants to operate and support, so it is difficult to maintain a balance of payments without raising prices.

This caused public outrage among my friends. When I invited them out for a barbecue for the fourth time, I was rejected by everyone. Finally, I had to go out to eat alone.

Eating barbecue alone is a challenge for tourists. It can withstand loneliness and the sight of people around it. It is also a test for barbecue shops. If a person can't order a few dishes, he may not be able to meet the needs of customers.

I picked up my mobile phone and found that a Japanese food store had a set meal of barbecue for one person, just 68 yuan, which was tailor-made for me. I rushed to the door of the store and found that the decoration was not bad. The kitchen of the barbecue restaurant is open, much like izakaya.

The front seats are all for guests who come to have a barbecue alone, just like sushi restaurants, so that they won't be embarrassed by sitting alone at a big table.

There are some easy illustrations and posters on the wall, as well as some menus, shop slogans and colored wind chimes, which remind tourists of "Natsume Friends Account", which is very healing.

The store has also prepared a kimono experience, where diners can wear traditional Japanese clothes, enjoy Japanese barbecue and be more involved.

I found a seat at random, and immediately my little brother came to pour water, and served a small dish with three different ingredients, including seaweed, pickles and clams.

Clams are sweet and spicy, very appetizing, seaweed is sweet, kimchi is sour, taking into account the tastes of different people.

Because I ordered a single meal, the ingredients on the table were not visible to the naked eye, only two or three pieces per serving. Fortunately, there are many kinds of ingredients, and this meal is very rich. Especially this barbecue platter is really delicious!

On the whole, this set meal in 68 yuan is worth it. If you want to have a good meal once in a while, barbecue will be a good choice.

Moreover, barbecue shops like this can be said to be the welfare of young people living alone in Chongqing. Even if a person can come here for dinner, he will never be embarrassed.

Anyway, if I have to choose between barbecue and hot pot, I don't think I can give the answer. They are all my favorite foods. According to your mood every day, what you like to eat is different. You may even like hot pot today and barbecue tomorrow.
