Hot pot

说到shuō dào火锅huǒ guō,仅jǐn中国Zhōng guó国guó内nèi就jiù有yǒu六liù种zhǒng,即jí以yǐ麻má辣là鲜xiān香xiāng著称zhù chēng的de川渝Chuān Yú火锅huǒ guō,以yǐ涮羊肉shuàn yáng ròu为wéi特色tè sè的de北派běi pài火锅huǒ guō、以yǐ牛肉niú ròu海鲜hǎi xiān为wéi代表dài biǎo的de粤系yuè xì火锅huǒ guō、快捷kuài jié小xiǎo锅guō化huà的de台式Tái shì火锅huǒ guō、口kǒu感gǎn酸suān辣là的de云贵Yún Guì火锅huǒ guō,以及yǐ jí其他qí tā特色tè sè火锅huǒ guō。

2019中国Zhōng guó餐饮cān yǐn业yè年度nián dù报告bào gào显示xiǎn shì,2018年nián全quán国guó火锅huǒ guō业yè实现shí xiàn收入shōu rù8757亿yì元yuán,占zhàn全quán国guó餐饮cān yǐn业yè收入shōu rù(42716亿yì元yuán)的de20.5%。

2019年nián预计yù jì将jiāng达到dá dào9600亿yì元yuán左右zuǒ yòu,2020年nián有望yǒu wàng突破tū pò万亿wàn yì元yuán。

火锅huǒ guō行业háng yè的de收入shōu rù在zài未来wèi lái还hái将jiāng继续jì xù增加zēng jiā。

目前mù qián,四川Sì chuān省shěng火锅huǒ guō企业qǐ yè数量shù liàng位居wèi jū全国quán guó之首zhī shǒu,超过chāo guò3.5万wàn家jiā,占zhàn全quán国guó的de近jìn三成sān chéng。

但是dàn shì重庆Chóng qìng市shì火锅huǒ guō协会xié huì相关xiāng guān人士rén shì认为rèn wéi这zhè个gè排名pái míng并bìng不能bù néng代表dài biǎo重庆Chóng qìng火锅huǒ guō的de全部quán bù。

据jù统计tǒng jì,整zhěng个gè大dà重庆Chóng qìng范围fàn wéi内nèi,火锅huǒ guō门店mén diàn的de数量shù liàng达到dá dào了le2.6万wàn多duō家jiā,从业cóng yè人员rén yuán接近jiē jìn56万wàn人rén。

在zài重庆Chóng qìng内环nèi huán以内yǐ nèi区域qū yù,火锅huǒ guō店diàn密度mì dù最zuì大dà,高gāo达dá21.7家jiā每měi平方píng fāng公里gōng lǐ,相当于xiāng dāng yú每měi200米mǐ就jiù有yǒu一yī家jiā火锅huǒ guō店diàn。

在zài重庆Chóng qìng,根本gēn běn不bù需要xū yào寻找xún zhǎo火锅huǒ guō店diàn,火锅huǒ guō店diàn自己zì jǐ就jiù会huì找zhǎo到dào你nǐ。
