Drink soup with a spoon in small sips, do not bring the bowl to your mouth to drink, when the soup is too hot, drink it after it cools down, do not blow on it while drinking.

Some people like to chew their food, especially when they chew crunchy food and make a very clear sound, which is not etiquette. Especially when eating with a crowd, we should try to prevent this phenomenon.
