Tan Yaxue is not as famous as time-honored chain brands such as Shu Jiuxiang and Lao Wharf, but it suddenly became popular in 2018, and its branches can cause a heated discussion no matter which city it touches. Since its opening, Tan Yaxue has not only attracted the patronage of stars such as Tan Weiwei and Hu Ge, but also appeared in the food program "Twelve Sharp Flavors".

Each Tan duck blood will have a stove at the door, and two faucet stoves are placed, one is used to cook duck blood, using a traditional cooking method called "tight": that is, the duck blood is put into a pot of warm water at about 65 °C and slowly cooked. Tightened duck blood has a more delicate taste. The other stove is a brine pot, and some dishes need to be boiled for a period of time to make it more flavorful. Before Tan Yaxue eats hot pot, you need to unseal the hot pot, which is the "opening ceremony" founded by Tan Yaxue, which means "good luck", and this ritual also adds fun to the meal. Tan Duck Blood Red Pot is the signature pot base of Tan Duck Blood, and it is also the pot bottom that must be ordered at every table. More than 10 kinds of ingredients are added to the bottom of the pot, including well-known pepper varieties such as starry pepper and bullet pepper, as well as duck blood clots, brine tofu and marinated quail eggs. Green onions and ginger are also added to the duck blood red pot to remove the fishy smell of duck blood. The spiciness of Tan duck blood is graded at the bottom of the pot, and the slight spiciness, which is suitable for the taste preferences of most Wuhan locals, and spicy lovers can also challenge the perverted spicy on top of the heavy spicy.

Just like the name of the store, the status of duck blood in Tan duck blood dishes cannot be underestimated. The duck blood in the store is freshly fished and cut in the stove, and the water temperature in the stove is constant at 50 °C, and the water is changed twice a day, never overnight, to ensure its freshness. The duck blood is tight and firm, full of toughness, and the taste is tender and smooth.

In addition to duck blood, Tan duck blood's main dishes also include brine series, including brine fat sausage, brine mille-feuille belly, brine county handle, brine tofu and so on. The brine fat sausage performs the best in the brine series, and the fat sausage after boiling and blanching is dense and Q elastic, the taste is rich in layers, and the taste is better when dipped in chili noodles. In addition to the above, Tan Duck Blood also provides common hot pot dishes such as hairy tripe, duck intestines, and spicy beef, but the taste is futile.

Tan Yaxue expanded rapidly, opening more than 300 stores across the country in less than a year, including five branches in Wuhan alone. The Nanjing Road store and the Wansongyuan store opened earlier, the Nanjing Road store had a poor service attitude, and the Wansongyuan store was relatively good. Tan Yaxue's dining environment is average, the ventilation effect in the store is not good, and there is a slight feeling of suffocation when eating. Business is booming in stores, and queues are common.
