The list of the top ten consumer cities in 2020 was released, and Chongqing rushed into the top three with "eating".
Unexpected but taken for granted.
@TAKUMI
Plate a plate, not counting the business trip, Ah Qiu has gone to Chongqing four times, but still each time he is impressed by the unique charm of this mountain city, fog city and river city.
The first time I went to the light rail to pass through the building, the Yangtze River cable car hanging over the river, the car parked on the 8th floor, the 1st and 5th floors are all street buildings...
As well as taxis that can "fly low".
After that, I went for a super rich and unique atmosphere of life.
Without any strategy, turn a corner to escape from the urban forest, drill into the old streets paved with stone steps, and catch a glimpse of the ears, tailors, needle and thread sellers, and the indispensable baseball army of the mountain city.
Pass by a market hidden in a narrow alley, filled with the sound of Chongqing dialect shouting;
Sit in the old teahouse and wait for the evening to see the dam dance. Too leisurely pace of life makes basking in the sun an entertainment.

And the most endearing thing is the uncountable number of delicacies.
Chen Xiaoqing's praiseworthy small noodles, hot pot restaurants blooming everywhere, jianghu dishes hidden in the streets and alleys, fat intestines taro chicken consumption fish sauerkraut fish stir-fried crayfish pot ba ba meat bean flower cold cake ice powder tangyuan... In a city that leads the country in terms of total number of restaurants, you can't figure out the doorway for a year.

Ah Qiu deliberately asked for a guide today from a local friend to take you from morning to midnight.
After a round of barbecue, at the unnamed stall down the slope, find a plastic chair to sit down, and listen to the men and women next to them eating cold vegetables and punching and drinking orders.
The more late at night, after three rounds of wine, the more spicy and enthusiastic the city becomes.
⚠️ A warning, the old shops that are liked by locals, do not ask for extravagant environment and service, the taste is good.
The visit to Chongqing begins with a hot pot
Skewers and skewers also have to be a good one

@Tencent Video
Have you ever fought for hot pot in your life?
Chongqing people probably have
How obsessed is the city with hot pot? The number of hot pot shops that can be counted has reached nearly 30,000, and the density in the inner ring is higher, and you can basically walk a few hundred meters to see a hot pot shop.
The number of direct employees has reached 600,000,
Walking on the roads of Chongqing, the chance of encountering locals who do not eat hot pot may be lower than the probability of encountering Wang Junkai

(Data from 2017 reports by Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce)
▲ Chengdu "first internet celebrity" Li Boqing commented on how fierce it is for Chongqing people to eat hot pot
Not only does the number of hot pot restaurants exceed that of Chengdu, but even the degree of madness about hot pot makes Chengdu people bow to the wind.
Don't go to the high-reputation chain internet celebrity shop, under the ladder, in the community, in front of the parking lot... Find an old and broken little bit of hairy belly, yellow throat, loin slices, crispy meat, lunch meat...
Want to be more like an old Chongqing er, learn to the next table, and the next table to a bottle of Chongqing famous wine Jiang Xiaobai (yes, is a local brand in Chongqing), put up the dragon door more and more to eat more and more hi.
Deng Mangzi old hot pot
Hidden under the stairs and downstairs of the community, Deng Mangzi is also a famous old taste.

It is also a hot pot restaurant in a residential area. This is a new store, and when it was opened in Marblestone, Ah Qiu was taken to eat it, because it was a "three-drag one" hot pot that was less and less opened in Chongqing.
Three drags and one is the joint code of the old Chongqing people's hot pot jianghu. That is, "three pieces of meat dishes, one piece of vegetarian dishes", the portion size is not large, you can order more dishes to taste more.

Heavy taste lovers must not be able to refuse the roasted brain flower, the famous Jiucun roasted brain flower is so that many Chongqing locals specially cross the district to eat.
The brain flower does not have any fishy smell, melts in the mouth, and is spicy with incense. Empty bites may be a little salty, you can order a bowl of ice powder or fried rice with a pair.
There are many kinds of kebabs in the shop, and the taste is good.

Chongqing food representatives, in addition to the hot pot is probably a small noodle.
If you want to be successful in Chongqing's small noodle world, you need to master the basic noodle world black words.
More green: put more vegetable leaves, less noodles;
Yellowing: hard spots on the surface;
Dry slip: scoop less soup, highlight the taste of the seasoning, eat a mouthful of spicy dry flavor;
Others such as less sea pepper, spicy weight, vinegar... It's all up to your personal taste.
Chongqing people eat small noodles also pay attention to a huo, be sure to huo noodles and the bottom of the seasoning huo evenly, so that each noodle is dipped in delicious, shining in the sun.
@Documentary "Hey, Little Noodles"
When asking for a recommendation store, a local friend put down a bold statement:
"When you see someone standing in front of a shop on the side of the road eating noodles, or using a high bench as a table to set up a row, just feel free to eat boldly, it is absolutely delicious."
Flower market pea noodles
Director Chen Xiaoqing also came to eat
It is reasonable to say that the fame of the flower market does not need to be recommended by Ah Qiu, but it is because it is too classic, so that many of Ah Qiu's Chongqing friends have not wanted to move the nest for several years.
So much so that Ah Qiu wanted individual recommendations, and friends wanted to tell me no half a day
The peas are simmered in the rib soup until sanded. Soft in the mouth, the tongue and palate can be gently squeezed to get a mouth full of bean flavor.
The mixed sauce is a classic combination of pork belly and sweet noodle sauce, which looks like a small spoonful, but it is enough to make each noodle stick with sauce and meat.

Looking at the Chongqing jianghu cuisine that makes people sweat
Eat with a bottle of white until the middle of the night
If you want to appreciate the real Chongqing jianghu qi, only eat hot pot is not OK, you have to eat once to let the Cantonese people see it and shout for help
Jianghu cuisine
When night fell, Chongqing could see several benches and an old table everywhere, and three or five people sitting together.
At this time, the Jianghu restaurant also ushered in the most prosperous time of the day. Feel free to find a place to sit down, the sound of punching in your ears, touching cups, and urging dishes,
Under the roar of people, the fireworks of the mountain city can be seen in full view.
Originated from the dock culture, let Chongqing's jianghu cuisine
Rough and direct: do not pay attention to the presentation, oversized portions, a few simple plates are laid out on the table.
Spicy stimulation: a large number of peppers and peppers, how to stimulate how to come, even if you have done a day of heavy physical work, sitting at the table and smelling the spicy and fresh aroma of cooking rules, you must swallow a mouthful of water immediately.
@Figureworm Creative - Shanshui Distinguished Guest
People who can't eat spicy should walk away, because the soul of Chongqing Jianghu cuisine is shaved meat in chili peppers.
Chongqing Jianghu cuisine originator came to the anchovy, the fish was first pickled and then fried and finally poured with oil, the fish was still tender, but it was wrapped in a spicy body, and the sideburns were sweating while stuffing into the mouth.
There are also Mao Blood Wang, Spicy Chicken, Taro Chicken, Postal Pavilion Crucian Carp, Waste Fish... Really spicy and really fragrant.
Don't be public if you can't drink!
The influence of dock culture makes Chongqing like to integrate everything into the wine, and even derives a set of wine pairing (what to eat with what wine) law.
For example, eating jianghu vegetables to get locally produced Xiaoqu sake is the right taste. If you want the scope to be smaller, a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai is a choice that does not go wrong.
The advertisement was so young that Ah Qiu used to think that Jiang Xiaobai's historical and cultural heritage was not deep. Until I went to Chongqing once, sat in a restaurant, and found that not only young people, but also old people would use it to raise a glass. And almost every restaurant has its supply.
Let Ah Qiu not have studied it before he concluded that this bottle of wine must not be simple.
Sure enough, if you want to explain its history, you have to listen to the "living fossil of the Yangtze River culture" Chuanjiang trumpet, a sentence "Baisha shochu spraying incense" makes the wine lovers turn their attention to the birthplace of winemaking in Jiangjin, Chongqing - Baisha.
Hundreds of years ago, the town flowed through a small stream called "Donkey Creek", which is naturally soft and has excellent winemaking, and the town once became one of the largest production bases of Xiaoqu liquor in the country.
Hundreds of years later, the land was still planted with sorghum, small workshops became modern wineries, and three parts of the land became a planting base of thousands of acres.
Traditional ancient technique inheritance, a brand called "Jiang Xiaobai" has taken root and grown in this town, and together with its own "Jiangji Winery", it has become the spokesperson of the new era of Sichuan-Chongqing Xiaoqu fragrant liquor.
Unlike the fragrance of Daqu, which has gone all over the country, Jiang Xiaobai chooses to brew a single sorghum, which has its own pure grain aroma and is rounded and soft in the mouth. And jianghu cuisine is the perfect soul mate.
Pick the meat in the pepper and eat it, and the spicy and intertwined taste is like a small fire on the tip of the tongue.
Grasp the mouth to send a sip of refreshing wine, instantly dissolve the burning sensation of the taste buds, the fragrance of the wine body and the fresh aroma of the dish neutralize, after blending with each other, stimulating the taste buds will also derive new surprises.
Eat meat, drink heavily, shout and draw fists, swing the dragon gate array, and the real jianghu Chongqing is within reach.
Spicy chicken in the forest
Figure @ Figureworm Creative
Real foodies never complain about the long way! This restaurant in GeleShan is basically full of seats every time you arrive.
It was served with a huge plate of spicy chicken, a slice of red fire, which was simply shocking!
Chicken cut into small pieces, mixed with peppers and peppers, spicy pile inside the feeling of pulling chicken is like a treasure hunt, eating unconsciously the mouth is completely numb, but the more you eat the more flavorful, you can't stop!
Locals also pack chili peppers and bring them home, but visitors who don't have to do the kitchen may not be blessed.
