The word mala Tang comes from the six stresses of authentic Sichuan hotpot. Hemp, spicy, hot, crisp, fresh and fragrant.
Mala Tang is an authentic Sichuan product and a derivative of hot pot. Generally speaking, "Mala Tang" is thought to have originated from Niuhua Town, Leshan, Sichuan.
in 198s, when the private economy blossomed, the product of mala Tang was born in Leshan. The owner of "Leshan Niuhua Bapo Mala Tang" in the tip of the tongue 3 opened in 1988, and he learned to open it only after watching others open it. The earliest street mala Tang was very humble, but it was actually a stall. To find money, set up a stall first.
the original appearance of mala Tang is the picture above. Wear the ingredients of the hot pot with a sign and take as much as you eat. The boss directly cooks it for you and takes it out.
At that time, the ballad of eating mala Tang went like this: "In the 198s, at the street station, strings were burned at the foot of the electric pole, and a few dishes were served in a casserole, and everyone dipped in a plate of dry dishes.
From Leshan to Chengdu
Because it tastes very flexible and the consumption is not high, the skewered mala Tang is really delicious. Leshan is not far from Chengdu, and many Leshan people go directly to Chengdu to make mala Tang, so mala Tang became a fire in Chengdu.
Mala Tang is a new word in Chengdu. The words "Ma, Spicy and Hot" are used to describe hot pot, which is too lacking in recognition.
Therefore, Mala Tang changed its name to "string string", which is very Chengdu-style, because Chengdu people like to talk and talk repeatedly, and the pronunciation of this word is "gasping for breath".
However, at that time, the string string was called "portable string string", which meant that the boss had to carry the pot out, but it was actually a stall, and the mode was the same as Leshan.
This format is really full of vitality, and people are not satisfied with eating skewers on the street. Some bosses have started to open skewer shops. The string is no longer portable. This kind of string shop is named "Chuanchuanxiang" by the boss.
In p>1995, the first Yulin Chuanxiang was opened on Yulin Road in Wuhou District, and in 1996, Yuanji Chuanxiang also opened one of its stores.
after 2, the word malatang has spread all over the country, but it has never been seen in Chengdu. Therefore, Li Boqing, a comedian of Chengdu Sanda, once said, "There is nothing spicy in Chengdu.".
At that time, only Yulin and Yuanji could be seen on the streets of Chengdu. There was no money at the bottom of the red pot. After eating the string, you could count the money according to the sign, and you could sign a few cents long and a few cents short. It's economical to eat a meal.
But "Leshan Mala Tang" is also growing on its own, and it has also reached stores from the street. This is a typical Leshan spicy hotpot. To tell the truth, it is not much different from Chengdu Chuanchuanxiang. They all smell like hot pot, and they all use "clear oil", and there is no difference between dry dishes and oily dishes.
Out of Sichuan Mala Tang
There are a large number of snacks in China, all of which were born in the 199s. The reason is simple and sad: a large number of workers have been laid off all over the country. A large number of people have lost their work units and wages, and people are still there without money. Many people are also forced to go to the streets and go to restaurants.
The embryonic form of "Fast Food Mala Tang" was born in this laid-off tide.
There are many employees, competition and ideas, and many new things will emerge. For example, a variant of mala Tang, "Spicy Mix". "Spicy Mix" is a very special variant of mala Tang.
Fushun spicy-hot mix filters the soup after the vegetables are scalded. Instead of adding the base soup, it is directly mixed with seasoning. The taste is sweet and sour and spicy, which is quite different from traditional mala Tang.
Sichuan native mala Tang has turned into a kind of dinner. But as a single diet, the pure Sichuan style is too spicy and oily. When Mala Tang arrived in the local area, it had already made the first wave of localization transformation-reducing the spicy degree and reducing the oil degree. But at this time, mala Tang is mainly about eating vegetables, supplemented by drinking soup.
after p>5, Mala Tang duo were born, Yang Guofu Mala Tang was founded in 27, and Sean Mala Tang was founded in 28. It is said that the two brands still have a personal relationship, but in the ten years after their establishment, they really brought Mala Tang to all streets in the country.
