leading role for delicacies. 123 00:09:33,084 --> 00:09:34,093 These two kinds of food materials 124 00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:37,093 finally gathered at the same city, 125 00:09:38,015 --> 00:09:39,037 Chongqing. 126 00:09:45,088 --> 00:09:46,183 It is the hottest season of the year, 127 00:09:48,018 --> 00:09:50,031 Chongqing people are keen to 128 00:09:50,031 --> 00:09:52,031 a type of food with higher temperature. 129 00:09:57,008 --> 00:09:59,017 Zhang Ping opened a hot-pot restaurant 130 00:09:59,089 --> 00:10:00,148 named after his wife. 131 00:10:02,001 --> 00:10:03,073 Because of this restaurant, 132 00:10:03,089 --> 00:10:05,104 they are having a stable life 133 00:10:06,004 --> 00:10:08,018 with their children. 134 00:10:13,007 --> 00:10:14,063 At 10 pm, 135 00:10:15,066 --> 00:10:16,133 when the delicious spicy smell 136 00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:19,104 is still floating above the city, 137 00:10:20,023 --> 00:10:21,084 at the stuffy and muggy hall way entrance, 138 00:10:21,084 --> 00:10:23,084 Zhang Ping started frying and making seasoning. 139 00:10:29,044 --> 00:10:30,129 Mix "Chao Tian Hong" (a kind of pod pepper) from Chong Qing 140 00:10:31,029 -->

pot 146 00:10:49,009 --> 00:10:51,009 is butter which can effectively absorb chili 147 00:10:52,004 --> 00:10:55,016 and round pepper`s taste. 148 00:10:57,083 --> 00:11:00,088 Thick broad-bean sauce and fermented soy bean could thicken the soup. 149 00:11:01,045 --> 00:11:03,126 Bruised ginger would make the spice multi-layers 150 00:11:04,026 --> 00:11:05,044 and full of changes. 151 00:11:13,059 --> 00:11:15,132 Da Hong Pao (a type of round pepper) from Mao Wen has strong taste of "Ma" 152 00:11:16,063 --> 00:11:19,070 while Jin Yang blue round pepper has stronger fragrant. 153 00:11:23,024 --> 00:11:25,061 What is more important than having authentic food materials 154 00:11:25,061 --> 00:11:26,133 are Zhang Ping`s hands. 155 00:11:27,072 --> 00:11:28,130 Non-stop frying 156 00:11:29,042 --> 00:11:32,051 helped fragrant subjects infiltrate into oil. 157 00:11:33,032 --> 00:11:35,058 After boiling, fragrant elements are released more. 158 00:11:38,088 --> 00:11:41,140 For the past 10 years, Zhang Ping believes no one but himself on this. 159 00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:45,094 One all-night cooking with three huge pots of basic hot pot 160 00:11:45,094 --> 00:11:47,123 seasoning, It could support the restaurant for five days. 161 00:12:00,072 --> 00:12:01,148 Except for the secret of seasoning, one should also 162 00:12:02,085 --> 00:12:04,148 give credits to Chong Qing people`s magical handling 163 00:12:05,048 --> 00:12:07,084 for food materials for the special taste of hot pot. 164 00:12:14,042 --> 00:12:17,139 Board muscle is the aorta for cattle or swine.

increase friction 168 00:12:25,018 --> 00:12:27,100 and rip this membrane down carefully. 169 00:12:28,009 --> 00:12:29,056 Experienced workers could handle 1000 pieces per day. 170 00:12:30,037 --> 00:12:32,061 could handle 1000 pieces per day. 171 00:12:41,097 --> 00:12:44,153 Mao Du, took from cattle`s third stomach, of which 172 00:12:46,031 --> 00:12:48,090 Chong Qing people only make use of

00:12:56,073 its surface and give it a strong taste. 175 00:13:07,065 --> 00:13:08,157 After a short blanching, people can feel 176 00:13:09,057 --> 00:13:11,081 the smoothness the second they put it
