Hot pot is a seasonal traditional food with a long history in China, and in modern society, convenient and diverse hot pot is highly sought after in various places, and the large and small hot pot restaurants all over China are very telling.

Modern archaeology proves that the Chinese people began to eat hot pot as early as 3,000 years ago. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was a kind of "Wen Ding", which came with a fire chamber, and the "Wen Ding" was divided into two parts by a mezzanine, the upper layer contained the soup and meat, the lower layer placed charcoal fuel, and the fire door was provided to replace the charcoal fire, and there were small holes for ventilation around the Ding, which should be the prototype of the hot pot. Of course, at that time, such a high-end and high-grade cooking method, except for the palace nobles, ordinary people still couldn't bear it.

In modern society, hot pot has different genres and styles in different regions: the northern hot pot with all kinds of red meat as the leading representative of the old Beijing hot pot, including: Inner Mongolia Fat Sheep Hot Pot, Shandong Fat Beef Hot Pot, Sheep Scorpion Hot Pot, Northeast White Meat Hot Pot, etc.; Although the hot pot of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not so famous, it also has a historical heritage, including chrysanthemum hot pot, Yipin pot, Sanxian hot pot and so on. Among so many genres, Sichuan hot pot has distinctive characteristics, Sichuan hot pot, Chongqing hot pot, string incense hot pot, etc.

It can be seen that the hot pot dish is deeply loved by people from all over the country. But when it comes to the obsession with hot pot, I'm afraid that Bashu Zhi will say that he is second, and there is no place in the world where people dare to say first. Their love for hot pot, especially red oil hot pot, is unimaginable to outsiders.

In addition to the large and small hot pot restaurants that can be seen everywhere in the city, many Bashu people have mastered a set of tricks for cooking the bottom of the red oil pot.

If you ask a person from Bashu what the joy of life is, he will probably tell you to meet three or five confidants and friends, sit around in front of a hot pot of red oil hot pot, and feast. Especially in the cold winter when the snow is falling, the outside of the house is icy and snowy, and the inside of the house is because of the hot pot, while the appetite is satisfied, everyone's face is full of red light, and the spirit is flying, and even the winter is still sweating, and the heat is like midsummer.

In the past, few people would eat hot pot except in winter, because even in winter, hot pot can make people eat hot pot, let alone other seasons. But in modern society, this is not a problem at all, anyway, there is a universal air conditioner, even in the hot summer, blowing the air conditioner, drinking cold beer is still comfortable!

In the land of Bashu, hot pot seems to have become a kind of faith, deep between the bone marrow and the heart. Some people even joked that the red flowing in the veins of the Bashu people was not blood, but the thick red oil soup base contained in the hot pot.

With the progress of the times and the upgrading of communication methods, the original local cuisine has long broken through the geographical restrictions, and the personalized cuisine such as red oil hot pot has also become popular all over the country, but in other regions other than Bashu, many people will adopt the eclectic way of coexistence of red and white soup such as mandarin duck pot bottom, so that outsiders who are not blessed with heat and spicy can also have a buffer. But in Bashu, this nondescript half-baked way of eating is a layman's way of eating for outsiders at first glance.

In the middle of the table, he solemnly set up a small stove full of burning dragon fat bones, although the flame after the dragon fat bone was ignited, but Kong Kong was full of confidence in the masterpiece of his life, the pot was full of confidence, and it can definitely control these fires!

Empty waved at the black-robed man. The latter immediately raised the pot, which had become heavy because it was full of ingredients, and roared from the depths of his throat, and with a "touch", the cauldron that was constantly moving because it had reached the boiling point was quietly placed in the middle of the table, and a thin white vapor rose in a curling manner, forming small clouds above the pot, constantly changing shapes, like a fire for a while, and like an iceberg for a while.

"Is this the final way to eat the Yue Huo sauce that you came up with? The fragrance gushing from the pot in front of him almost tugged at his soul, and his heart rose and fell with the boiling soup base, and only he knew what he was expecting.

"Nonsense, of course the hot pot is to be eaten freshly, it is all scalded in advance, and then put it in a bowl for people to eat is called skewers!" Chang Zhaowu glanced blankly, the question asked by this guy is really strange, doesn't a senior human know how to eat it?

Kongkong adjusted an oil dish for himself, pulled a chair and was about to sit down, but found that Blood Shura was looking at him with cold eyes, yes, this female uncle has to serve well, she can't afford to offend, and she can't afford to toss.

Kongkong hurriedly squeezed out a dog-legged smile: "Sister, don't stand still! You just sit here first, you see, I even adjusted the oil dish for you!"

"Oil dish?" Blood Shura looked puzzled, "Isn't there a lot of oil from Nanxiang pine nuts added to the bottom of this pot? It's already so oily, why do you need an oil dish?"

Hey, this woman really doesn't seem to know anything about the food in the world! Even if you are a foodie these days, you must have enough background knowledge, so that you can eat results, eat style, and eat level!

Kongkong had to explain: "Don't underestimate this oil dish, although this is just a simple sesame oil, not too many accessories are added, because the taste of this pot is rich enough, and we don't need to add more snakes to the dipping sauce." But when I used to work in a restaurant, I heard a gourmet say that eating red oil hot pot with this oil dish can not only help us improve the taste, but also relieve the heat of the ingredients that have just been soaked. ”

"You have a heart. Blood Shura nodded to the empty air, sat on the chair, she barely hesitated for a minute, immediately held the chopsticks, and was teased by these fragrances until now, her reason had already surrendered to instinct, not only the saliva in her mouth was secreted wildly, but even every cell in her body was shouting and roaring, looking forward to a real zero-distance intimate contact with this fanatical food.

It's just that...... When she raised her chopsticks, she suddenly realized a problem, the cauldron in front of her, whether it is in any angle of color, fragrance or taste, is a rare top quality, but in addition to all kinds of famous and unnamed spices rolling in the pot, there is almost nothing that can be eaten directly, where are the ingredients for her to eat?
