Winter is coming.
In winter, it is suitable for hugging, suitable for drinking hot milk tea, suitable for holding hands, and more suitable for eating a hot pot together.
On a winter day when the snow is flying in the sky or the cold wind is biting, it is a very happy thing to sit in a warm and baked hot pot restaurant, eat food around the steaming, constantly tumbling hot pot, and chat about the sky.
If it is said that northerners eat hot pot and find an excuse for cold weather, but after passing through the Qinling Mountains, they have arrived at the land of Bashu, where the four seasons are the seasons for eating hot pot.
For the Bashu people, there is nothing that a hot pot cannot solve.
Why do Sichuan people love to eat hot pot so much, and they still have to eat spicy hot pot? Let's go back in time.
"Bogu" can "pass through the present", which makes sense.
There are many legends about the origin of hot pot, which can be considered and traced in the cultural relics excavated in the Three Kingdoms. Hot pot, known as "antique soup" in ancient times, is named after the "grunting" sound made when it is fed into boiling water.
As we all know, the difference between the north and south hot pot is very large, the ingredients, shabu materials, the base material are not consistent, with the migration and integration of the north and south population, although the taste has the trend of integration, but the southern hot pot represented by Sichuan and the northern hot pot represented by Beijing are still different.
Any custom is different from the history of its evolution, the changes in geography and the human environment.
According to Kao, the northern hot pot has evolved through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, from the folk to the court, to the "wild game hot pot" of the Qing Palace Royal Diet Recipe, and its main ingredients for the hot pot are beef and mutton game.
In the south, hot pot is said to have originated on the banks of the Yangtze River and was originally used by boatmen and porters.
Sichuan was the confluence of the four rivers, and working as a boatman and a porter became the main occupation at that time, which was very hard. In order to facilitate eating, the boatman and the porter pick up a few stones by the river, support a crock pot, scoop a few scoops of river water, put on a dry wood to make a fire, add vegetables and wild vegetables to the jar, and add some peppercorns and peppers, that is, they can wrap their stomachs, but also wet and cold. Over time, the spicy hot pot in Sichuan today was formed.
Last month, I went to Sichuan on a business trip, and in the most enchanting section of the Jialing River, there is a Nanchong City. It is a beautiful and vibrant city. The local host specially invited us to the # Sichuan hot pot "Old Ship King" hot pot restaurant to taste, while tasting the delicious, but also felt the culture of Sichuan old hot pot.
At the entrance of this shop, there is a sculpture of an old shipwright, vigorous and powerful. There is a copper gong at the door, and it seems that you can still feel the sense of ceremony when the old ship king set sail in the past.
As soon as I entered the door, I wrote the old ship King Fu, because the table and chairs were in front, and could not be read through.
The interior decoration is antique style, simple and elegant.
Step out of the store and surround yourself with a vein of water. Around the pool, curtain curtains are tented, separated into a private room, in which guests eat, adding a few coziness and romance.
Of course, a good environment allows us to dine here comfortably, but the most attractive thing is the taste of Sichuan hot pot.
Needless to say, the hot pot base of the old ship king is spicy and mellow, waiting for all kinds of shabu ingredients into the pot. The various shabu-shabu ingredients of the old ship king are more like works of art, and they show the original ecological characteristics of the ingredients themselves, which makes people want to move.
This porter-themed hot pot brand, its unique decoration style and dishes all reflect the great charm of the Three Gorges culture of the Yangtze River.
Here, the taste is the ship king hot pot, feel the porter culture, and explore the origin of the hot pot. Have you ever been here? Would it be nice to share your feelings?
