Isosi esishisayo endaweni yokudlela yaseShifangyuan eLingyin Temple eHangzhou muva nje sibe yindaba yempikiswano eshisayo ngenxa yokunambitheka kwayo "okushisayo kakhulu". Uphawu olungaphezulu kwekhawunta yezinongo lubonisa ukuthi isosi sishisa kakhulu futhi lunxusa abantu ukuba "babeke eceleni ubugovu" futhi "bangeze kancane." Intambo ethi "Lingyin Temple Hot Sauce: Monks Don't Lie" ithambekele ku-Weibo, yavusa ingxoxo ebanzi.
Ngokusho kombiko obukhoma ovela ku-Hunan TV, kuthunyelwe isixwayiso esikhulu esiteshini sezinongo endaweni yaseShifangyuan eLingyin Temple: “Le sosi eshisayo ishisa kakhulu. Ngisho nengxenye yesipuni iyashisa. Sicela ungeze inani elincane ekuqaleni, bese ufaka elengeziwe uma kudingeka ukuze ugweme ukuthi isosi ishise kakhulu.” Esinye isibonakaliso siphawula ukuthi isosi eshisayo ilungiselelwa ekhishini lasethempelini futhi inongwe kakhulu. Izivakashi nazo ziyakhunjuzwa: “Sebenzisa inani elidingekayo kuphela ukuze ugweme ukulichitha, futhi ugcine izingane kude nendawo yezinongo ukuze ugweme ukuthola isosi emehlweni azo.”
Abasebenzisi abaningi babelane ngemibono yabo ngalesi sidlo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Omunye umsebenzisi, obekezelela kahle ukudla okunongwe, uthe, “Ngizibona ngingumuntu ongeke aphile ngaphandle kokudla okunongwe, futhi ngiye eYunnan, eGuizhou, naseSichuan, futhi angizange ngihlabeke umxhwele nhlobo, kodwa kulokhu ngangiqiniseka.” Omunye umuntu uthe bangeze ingxenye yesipuni nje sesoso esishisayo: “Ukulunywa kokuqala kwama-noodle kwakunongwe kakhulu kangangokuthi ngazizwa ngididekile, futhi ngemva kokuqeda ama-noodle, ngangijuluka kakhulu futhi izingubo zami zazimanzi.” Kodwa-ke, abasebenzisi abaningi nabo bancome lesi sidlo, bethi “bafuna okwengeziwe” futhi “bafisa sengathi othile angabathengela lokhu.”
Ummeleli wesevisi yamakhasimende waseLingyin Temple uthe isosi esishisayo eShifangyuan senziwe ekhaya futhi asinazo izithasiselo, okwenza sibe sinongwe kakhulu. “Basibiza ngokuthi ‘iGhost Pepper.’” Ngaphambilini, iShifangyuan yayinikeza isosi esishisayo esisemabhodleleni ngama-yuan angu-9.9 (cishe u-$1.30), kodwa ngenxa yesimo sezulu esishisayo samuva nje, le sosi engaxutshwe nalutho yonakala ngokushesha, ngakho ukukhiqizwa kwamabhodlela kumiswe okwesikhashana.
Ukuwa kowayengu-abbot weThempeli laseShaolin uShi Yongxin kusazwakala, futhi izindaba zokuthengiswa kwe-hot sauce eLingyin Temple zivuse impikiswano eshisayo phakathi kwabasebenzisi be-inthanethi. Abanye bayagxeka: “Ngisho nezindela zicabanga ngokwenza imali” nokuthi “Ingabe lokhu sekuwumthombo oyinhloko wemali engenayo eHangzhou?” Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi upelepele oshisayo ungavusa isifiso sokudla, futhi isifiso sokudla naso “siyisifiso,” ngakho ukusetshenziswa kwawo endaweni yethempeli kubonakala kungafanele.
