If the food industry also talks about blood kinship, then byHot pot, skewers, cold pot skewers, Mao Cai, Bobo ChickenThis branch is composed of a prosperous family full of children and grandchildren. Today, I will take you to sort out the fault (chang) of this big family (chang) and the relationship (du)!
▐ Hot Pot
There are two main types of hot pot:Red soup和broth. As the name suggests, the red soup is made by adding a lot of bean paste, dried chili, pepper, spices and butter (Chengdu hot pot also likes to use clear oil, rapeseed oil). Each store has its own secret recipe, such as the finishing touch of glutinous rice, or the mysterious old oil like an ancestral bittern. A pot of red soup was served on the table. After boiling, the scent of spicy oil was tumbling, which was mouth-watering like a Pavlovian dog.

Compared with red soup, clear soup is naturally inferior to "color". It is usually boiled with old hens, or decorated with scallions and goji berries. Suitable for hot fungi and seasonal vegetables, but not suitable for maintaining friendship with Sichuanese.

In Chongqing in the 90s, people often shouted, "Let’s go and eat three to one!" "Three drags one" refers to three yuan for meat dishes and one yuan for vegetarian dishes. Now that moving price era is gone. Baked cakes have risen from five cents to XNUMX cents. The price of meat and vegetables in hot pot also needs to be added to the end of Sanheyao. The price of a hot pot is one tael per person. Hundreds are also the norm.
▐ String
If there are few people and different tastes, hot pot is not cost-effective, the best choice is to eat skewers. Like hot pot, there are all kinds of intestines, meat, and vegetarian dishes, but they are cut into small pieces and put on a sign. Take what you want to eat, take as much as you want, a table of people sitting together is still hot, and the people of the world are united. Chuan Chuan shop checkout does not call to pay the bill, the call is"Boss, count and sign!". A meaty fifty cents and a plain two cents cost one hundred and eighty yuan per person after a meal.

▐ Cold pot skewers
If you want to eat skewers, but are afraid of the smell of hot pot, or are too lazy to burn yourself (how lazy it is), then it is time for cold pot skewers to appear. The difference from skewers is that after choosing what you want to eat,No need to do it yourself,Just hand it to the waiter, and the hot pot of skewers will be served in a moment. Although the pot is cold, but the skewers are hot, the heart is boiling. This is the meaning of cold pot skewers.
Since the chopsticks of the diners do not enter the pot, the boss uses the public chopsticks to burn the skewers, which is equivalent to sharing the skewers hot pot, soThe price of cold pot skewers is slightly cheaper than skewers.

▐ Instant Boiled Spicy Hot Pot
Maocai is a hot pot for one person.Hot pot is a dish of a group of people.
If you want to eat hot pot, you are afraid that a person will be sad when facing a big pot, and you don't think that the skewers can't eat up, this time is the time to show your skills. At the Maocai stall in the early years, fresh ingredients were soaked in a basin for people to choose. What to eat until the basket was filled, you could safely give it to the boss and wait for a bowl of Maocai to be served.
The boss cleverly stuffed each basket of ingredients into a bamboo basket. The ones that need to be boiled for a long time are lowered to the bottom of the basket first, and those that are easy to be cooked are put out of the pot before they are cooked. Guarding the churn of the big pot, the boss must remember the time each bamboo basket takes to make the pot, and the brain runs at a speed comparable to "Tianhe No. XNUMX".

If in a hurryI don’t have time to burn myself or wait for the boss to burn myself, Or the hot pot can’t be eaten in dog days, whether it’s skewers or hot pot, but if you want to add spicy, it’s time for Boboji to appear. After finding the table and sitting down, the waiter will bring two large bowls, full of skewers in the fragrant soup. A bowl of meat, a bowl of vegetarian, choose whatever you like. Bobo chicken is different from skewers. Meat and vegetable are usually one yuan. Served with a bowl of bean soup or rice or other staple foods, it will cost XNUMX to XNUMX yuan for a meal to relieve hunger.

I remember a classmate who came to Sichuan from another place to go to school in Sichuan. He ate Bobo Chicken for the first time. Watching the waiter bring two large pots of Bobo Chicken to the table, he was secretly surprised by the appetite of the Sichuanese, and he was silent on the principle of not wasting. After eating two large pots of Bobo chicken, the waiter who signed the bill was frightened by the appetite of the foreign student.
