As soon as he arrived in Chongqing, he came to "check in" with his suitcase
This year’s Qingming Festival, Mao Jianbin, the manager of Senior Brother Zhou’s hot pot Hongyadong store, had already expected that the business would be booming, but the popularity was still beyond his expectations.
"Many customers come here to 'check in' to eat hot pot after getting off the plane." Mao Jianbin said that although such scenes often happen in the store. But when I think of the scene in the store during the Qingming Festival holiday last year, Mao Jianbin still seemed very excited. Because, the excitement is back!
Mao Jianbin said that last year's Qingming Festival holiday, due to the impact of the epidemic, the business of Hongyadong Store was good, but it was still "a little worse" than the usual holidays. "There are fewer tourists, and the number of diners is also reduced." Mao Jianbin said that Senior Brother Zhou's Hotpot Hongyadong Scenic Area is located next to the Hongyadong Scenic Area in Jiefangbei, and many diners are tourists coming to Chongqing for tourism.
So, when Mao Jianbin saw many diners carrying suitcases to check in "Senior Brother Zhou", he was happy from the bottom of his heart. "We want to prepare a pot of the most authentic Chongqing hotpot for tourists coming to Chongqing." Mao Jianbin said that the Hongyadong restaurant began to prepare before the festival, hoping that every customer who came to Zhou's hotpot, especially foreign tourists, can transfer the property and feel the enthusiasm of Chongqing people.
Mao Jianbin was delighted to find that among the tourists who came to Zhou Brother Zhou's hot pot to "check in", there were not only many new friends, but also many old friends. This is not the first time they have been to Chongqing for a trip, and "Senior Brother Zhou" is still their first choice for Chongqing hotpot.

During the Qingming Festival holiday, Senior Brother Zhou’s hot pot Guanyinqiao store also exceeded 3,000 tables. But unlike Hongyadong Store, most of the customers who come to Guanyinqiao Store to eat hotpot are Chongqing locals.
"Many customers come here to eat with their families and friends." Bao Qiang, the manager of Guanyinqiao Store, said that eating Chongqing hotpot during the holidays has become the "standard configuration" for more and more Chongqing people.
On the Qingming Festival, Yu Yang, who lives in Huaxin Street, took his family to have a hot pot with Senior Brother Zhou. Yu Yang's family is a regular visitor to Senior Brother Zhou. He said that if there are too many people, they should come to eat because there are too many people. "This is what Chongqing hot pot should look like."
At the same time, Senior Brother Zhou's hot pot Shanghai store also had a lively scene like Guanyinqiao store. This Chongqing hotpot, which was only launched in Shanghai in January this year, became the "queuing king" as soon as it opened.
During the Qingming Festival holiday, the maximum waiting time for the Shanghai store reached 6 hours, but this did not stop Shanghai people from enthusiastic about Chongqing hotpot. In order to have this authentic Chongqing hotpot, many customers came to the store to queue up after two or three hours before meal time.
Senior Brother Zhou did not disappoint Shanghai customers’ love for Chongqing hotpot. The big knife waist piece, the pure fresh tripe and fresh duck intestine in the Shanghai store of Senior Brother Zhou were all airlifted by cold chains, and they were fresh from Chongqing to Shanghai within 8 hours, so that more people could have an authentic Chongqing hotpot.
