你见过九宫格的火锅吗？就在重庆！

Have you ever seen a hot pot with nine squares? It happens in Chongqing!

为什么火锅一个锅会分成九个部分呢？这当然不是因为一个锅里有九个味道。

Why is a hot pot divided into nine sections? ? It's not because there are nine different flavors in one pot.

而是因为分出九个部分，每一个格子的火候各不相同，下锅煮的食材也各不相同。不得不说中国人对吃真的非常讲究！

Instead, it's because each of the nine sections has a different heat level, and the ingredients cooked in each square are also different. We have to say that Chinese people pay great attention to their eating!

中心的格子可以放毛肚、鸭肠、黄喉、肥牛，用来烫容易熟的肉类，火旺油温高，滚烫30秒让食材口感爽脆。旁边的大格可以下锅煮香肠、麻辣牛肉、海带、金针菇、藕片、土豆、莴笋、肉丸、鱼、虾滑等需要煮一段时间才能完全熟的食材。边上的小格可以煮鹌鹑蛋、鱿鱼、肥肠等等，起到一个小火慢慢煮，使得食材更软糯，完全入味的作用。

In the central square, you can cook tripe, duck intestines, ox aorta, and fatty beef. This section is used to quickly cook meats that are easily cooked, with high heat and boiling oil making the ingredients crispy in just 30 seconds. The larger squares next to it can be used to cook sausages, spicy beef, seaweed, needle mushrooms, lotus root slices, potatoes, bamboo shoots, meatballs, fish, and shrimp, which require more time to fully cook. The smaller squares on the side can be used to cook quail eggs, squid, and fatty intestines. They provide a slow, gentle heat to make the ingredients tender and fully flavored.
