Cost description of traditional hot pot in Guizhou

As a Chongqing native, I once told 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, it seems that the "price" is somewhat different now.

From the perspective of hot pot merchants, the cost of refining old oil is actually higher than that of new oil, which needs to be stored and refined, 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 heavy, but also has less profit. Although the new oil lacks the taste of the old oil, it is bound to charge a pot bottom fee to consumers, so the overall price naturally comes up.

Especially after the transformation 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 you want to dig deep, the raw material cost of old oil is low, but the labor cost of refining old oil is extremely high (many stores will not refine old oil). On the whole, the cost of old oil is actually higher than that of new oil.

In the eyes of merchants, the cost of new oil is lower and the profit is higher. Of course, I will choose new 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 just so-so. If you meet an affordable fly restaurant, you have to go to 50 yuan, even if you pick it up.

Per capita consumption in 80 yuan is not low in Chongqing. With this expenditure, we can eat hot pot, barbecue and fried chicken. There is not much difference, which is probably between "I can do it at home" and "I can't do it 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 foods that "can't be cooked at home" have become the choice of more Chongqing people.

If I choose, Youpin, as a barbecue enthusiast, the answer is obvious. How crazy am I about barbecue? I ate barbecue three times 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, and it is difficult to maintain a balance of payments without raising prices.

This caused public outrage among my friends. When I asked them out for a barbecue for the fourth time, everyone refused. Finally, I had to go out alone to find food.

It is a challenge for tourists to eat barbecue alone, which can withstand loneliness and the sight of people around them. 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 a Japanese restaurant. The barbecue set meal for one person, as long as 68 yuan, 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, which is very izakaya-like.

The front seats are all for guests who come to have a barbecue alone, just like a sushi restaurant, and they won't be embarrassed because they sit at a big table alone.

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

There is also a kimono experience in the store, where diners can wear traditional Japanese costumes, enjoy Japanese barbecue and be more involved.

I found a seat casually, and immediately my little brother came to pour water. By the way, I served a dish of small dishes, three different ingredients, seaweed, pickles and clams.

Clams are sweet and spicy, very appetizing, laver is sweet, and kimchi is sour, considering the tastes of different people.

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

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

And 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 the mood every day, the things you like to eat are different. You may even like hot pot today and barbecue tomorrow.
