The restaurant posted that prospective employees should have naturally single eyelids and a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in hot pot medicine or stove arts or any related field.

“If you have a beautiful vegetable cutting technique with your left hand and a stunning pork slicing technique with your right hand, you’ll be considered. Special consideration will be given to those who have worked during the Ming or Tang dynasties or have walked the entire length of the Great Wall of China.
