Hot pot is undoubtedly the favorite food in many people's hearts. Hot pot can be said to be delicious on earth. In all kinds of food, it can be said that the popularity of hot pot is in the top few, and hot pot is particularly popular at any time.

Fish fillets, mutton slices and beef slices in hot pot are all necessary, including some people who may like seafood very much. Many people will order seafood. When ordering meat, we often find that in many shops, the waiter will put some lettuce leaves under the meat plate. What does this lettuce do?

First of all, I think the first function of this lettuce is beauty. Many shops will pay attention to setting dishes, giving people a sense of visual delicacy. So it's just a few pieces of meat or something. It looks a little monotonous. I just want to add something colorful to make this plate look colorful. So I will put some lettuce under the meat. Not so monotonous.

The second function is to remove fishy smell. Or to prevent blood from flowing out, it looks unsightly and makes people lose their appetite. We all know that meat must have a fishy smell, so using lettuce can remove some fishy smell of meat and prevent blood from flowing to the plate, which will affect customers' appetite. This is the same as when we eat barbecue, we may roll lettuce to eat meat, which is especially delicious and not too greasy.

The third function is to fill in numbers. Sometimes putting vegetables on a big plate or plate will look full, and it will be considered that the merchant has given a lot of meat, so the merchant will put some lettuce on the meat plate, which will make the meat more and the plate more full, giving people a visually affordable feeling. So, there will be some big lettuce leaves. The same is true of seafood.
