The type of hotpot had already been decided after the lucky draw. After 12:00 am, Yuan Zhou started to serve the hotpot soup to everyone.
There were some hot pot dishes from Sichuan Province, the double hotpot, which took care of people who liked spicy and light food. There were also some nine-grid square hot pot dishes from Shancheng. Others were like the spicy pickled fish hot pot from Guizhou Province, the spicy pickled cabbage and white meat hot pot from Northeast China, or the clear water hot pot from Guangdong Province, which was also called the clear water side stove.
In any case, none of the ten tables had eaten hotpot as if they had discussed it.
In order to cater to the diners, they had brought a lot of people. Not only were the tables custom-made, but the pots were also custom-made. Compared to the usual hot pot, no matter what style it was, it was a few times larger. This way, there was more space for people to display their skills.
