How to treat the phenomenon that Cantonese people like to pack leftovers?

As a Cantonese, it is really common to pack leftovers.

Let's start with the character of Cantonese. Guangdong people are pragmatic and grounded, and do not like to compare. What they like very much is that they have such a big hat. It means, do what suits your situation, don't exaggerate. So this pragmatic approach permeates all aspects of life. Ordering food is not wasted, subject to a slight surplus, and it is not required that a large table can not be eaten. It's too much, so pack it naturally and pragmatically and take it back.

Second, the habit of eating out in Guangdong. As a native of Guangzhou, eating out is a common occurrence. Often eat out, too lazy to cook, eat out, colleagues have happy events, eat out, and eat out when they are booing. Therefore, going out to eat is not tall, ordinary, and leaving a bag can save a lot of time to buy food and cook for the second meal. You can eat it in the microwave oven, and your life is fast. Who doesn't want to save time? Packing leftovers is convenient. In particular, snacks will be packed, because I am rushing to work the next morning, and breakfast is more worry-free! For example, this:

Third, Guangdong people's attitude towards food. Cantonese people are very serious about eating, respect food and will not waste it casually. For example, banquets are often full of suckling pigs, and pig heads are generally not cut, and the whole pig will be left on the plate. This will definitely not stay. It is a good ingredient, which can be used to make soup and porridge. The meat is tender and delicious! And Cantonese people need a lot of ingredients to make soup. Many people only drink soup instead of dregs. Sometimes the packaged things can be made into soup without wasting.

Fourth, Cantonese people are rich and don't care about other people's eyes. I guess many people may want to call when packing, but I'm sorry. But Cantonese people can't. Their packaging is generous, and no one will make irresponsible remarks. Because the packaging is not shabby, not poor money, but virtue. So packing in Guangzhou is very casual. You can choose what you like, put it forward by yourself, and don't choose what you don't like. So sometimes after the banquet, this person will say, I'm going to cook a box of fried rice for breakfast tomorrow, that person says I want scallion cake, and another person says I like flapping my wings. Don't waste the leftover boiled chicken. Who wants it? People are really casual. If you take it, no one will think you are greedy for petty gain. If you never get angry at home, people won't force you to clean up and take what you need. Very harmonious. This is equivalent to Chow Yun Fat riding a bike on the subway. Will others laugh at him for not being able to afford a car? It's impossible, so the packaging is the same. It's not harmful to leftovers, just a normal attitude. Just as Cantonese people are not short of money, a red envelope is ten yuan each. A few days ago, my family ate all the German salted pig hands in the picture below, so we must pack them!

Ten years ago, a classmate treated me. Although I didn't expect to have a big meal before I went, I subconsciously thought it was a restaurant that everyone usually went to or something like that. As a result, when I saw jiaozi, I felt a little different. I'm not the only one who feels this way. I don't eat much. I finished one sentence without a word, and I made an appointment to go to the Internet cafe soon. The rest of the guests and I watched the rest of jiaozi. The other party said don't waste it, pack some and take it home. I refused without thinking. The other party thinks I'm polite, and I'll make a statement. The other party had to pack it up and take it away. In fact, for me at that age, although I know what is right, I still feel a little disdainful.

There was heating in it, and when I pushed the door out, a gust of wind was still a little cold. It also made me awake. In my heart, 10,000 people despised themselves, despised themselves for thinking so, and despised themselves for refusing twice in a row. I can't help asking myself what this is. From then on, I really looked down on this behavior from my heart and thought it was right.

Weddings and birthdays during the Spring Festival are inseparable from restaurants. People nowadays don't want to eat enough when they go. How to deal with leftovers after each time is still a problem. I think we can help them pack, or even help them pack. But it's my turn to hold a banquet at home, and I still don't want to take them home. But what is different from the past is that there are really many. I can't eat it when I bring it back, and I will throw it away eventually. Of course, one more thing. If I spend all my money, I'll stay if I can't eat. Or, I paid for it myself, so why not take it with me?

Packing leftovers is really full of life.

It can be said that Guangdong is the most complete province to preserve the ancient culture of China. Due to geographical reasons, Guangdong is less influenced by foreign cultures. So today, Cantonese has become the orthodox inheritance area of ancient Chinese, and China's ancient culture is relatively well preserved. In ancient China, food was very important, and "squandering natural resources" was a heinous act! So ancient Han people cherished food very much! This can be proved in many ancient books. Guangdong people's behavior of not being extravagant, vain, wasteful and unassuming is the embodiment of ancient China culture! All are fine traditions! Anyone with a traditional education in China should understand this. On the other hand, in other parts of China, no matter how big or small, there will be big banquets! There are too many leftovers on the table! On holidays, red envelopes are ten million! Shiny appearance, cash-strapped! So that the poor at the lower level have followed suit! Suffering! In my opinion, as a Cantonese, we don't have to be bitter because mainlanders think we are stingy and stingy, but we should be more proud!

Of all the provinces in China, I think Lao Guang's attitude towards life is the most respectable, because:

How to treat the phenomenon that Cantonese people like to pack leftovers? First, it has something to do with the attitude of Cantonese people towards life.

Second, the packaging of leftovers in Guangdong is worth popularizing.

Guangdong people's leftovers packaging behavior, it is because they have money, only to understand that it is not easy to start a business and stay in business. From this point of view, everyone should learn from Cantonese. Packing leftovers is a virtue, and wasting food is shameful. How to treat the phenomenon that Cantonese people like to pack leftovers? Let me talk about my opinion on whether to pack leftovers when eating in a restaurant.

Before sharing my story with you, I want to say that thrift is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and we have been educated in this respect since childhood. This truth is certainly impossible for everyone not to understand.

But society is realistic and cruel, and people's words are awesome, so most people eat in restaurants, and they choose to ignore whether the remaining food is packed or not.

Most of the time, it's not that they don't want to pretend, but that they are worried that others' words are ugly and they will be gossiped by others. For a simple example, if the host who pays the bill is already a wealthy class, then if he chooses to pack, others at the same table will praise him for being frugal;

On the contrary, if the host of the dinner party is not rich and chooses to pack at this time, the friends at the same table will look down on him and make irresponsible remarks, saying that he is too poor to eat the rest of the dishes;

Presumably, many times, people do not choose to pack, more because of this concern. Of course, my attitude is to be myself and encourage everyone to pack, because it can save food. After all, it is too difficult to make money. Who knows that every meal is hard for me?

Below, I will share a short story of my parents. My father often went to Guangdong on business in his early years. Because of his work, he was influenced by many colleagues in Guangdong. The most obvious habit is to pack food. Whether going to a hotel for dinner or going to a fly restaurant on the streets of Wuhan, my father will pack up the endless food and go home.

In the first few years, my mother was very unhappy. My mother loves face and feels that packing is a disgrace. The old couple had a fierce conflict because of their father's packaging of food.

Why has mom changed? I don't know about that. I think it may be that their life circle has shrunk after retirement, or they are old, or their mothers no longer care about face, or the times are progressing, the country is rich and strong, and their mothers are influenced by the big environment. I don't know about this, but the change is certain;

One day, after the full moon, the children of relatives had a big banquet, and there were really many dishes left, as well as some dishes. Nobody touched the chopsticks at all. Dad really feels sorry for these ingredients.

However, he is old and weak. Even if all the dishes are packed home, the old couple can't finish them. It's a pity that they can only pack the old couple's favorite food as much as possible.

Dad was about to move chopsticks when mom took the initiative to clean them up. She asked the waiter for four boxes and began to pack. In the process, my father's sister-in-law met her and asked her if she needed help.

My mother was probably a little embarrassed, and said eagerly: No, no, my father likes these dishes, so we won't cook at night, so we should pack some leftovers and go home. First, it saves money more than delicious food, and third, it's a pity not to pack it.

My aunt, my mother's eldest sister-in-law, is a very open-minded person and advocates thrift. Seeing her mother's change, she said happily, don't be shy. I also installed some boxes on our desk. These are hard dishes. It's a shame to dump them.

Seeing this question and answer from the subject today reminds us of some past events. Let's go back to the question and answer, and briefly analyze the reasons why Cantonese people like to pack leftovers:

1. First of all, let's start with the character of Cantonese people. Guangdong people are pragmatic and realistic, pay attention to filial piety, pay attention to benefits, do not make superficial articles, have an open mind, dare to say and do things, and walk in front of the national atmosphere, which is the main force of China's reform and opening up;

2. Guangdong is the main body of Lingnan culture, emphasizing pluralism, openness and compatibility;

Guangdong people are hard-working and can bear hardships. Guangdong people work hard to make money, and most of them get rich by hard work. Most of them started as small traders. Although they pursue money tirelessly, they know better that it is not easy to make money.

4. Influenced by a wide range of social atmosphere and passed down from generation to generation, who knows that the fine tradition of hard struggle for every meal may be more profound;

5. In Guangdong, everyone has received such education since childhood and deeply knows that it is a very shameful thing to waste ingredients;

6. Guangdong's diet style is relatively light, pursuing the original flavor of the ingredients, and the chef is really delicious, so it is ok to pack it home for the family to taste;

7. In my understanding, it may be that Cantonese people know how to live, how to waste and how to cherish food. It may also be because of social class. Most businessmen know that everything is hard-won, and they know how to cherish it.

8. Although there is a habit of packing all over the country, judging from the overall social atmosphere, this habit in Guangdong is still more popular than the whole country;

At the end of the paper, I want to say a few words. Although this habit is worth promoting, there are still several aspects that need special attention when you pack the leftover food from the restaurant home.

1, when packaging leftovers, open them separately, because the growth rate of microorganisms in different ingredients is different, and separate storage is more conducive to subsequent heating;

2. Pack the leftover food and eat it as soon as possible, preferably within 5-6 hours;

3. Pack the remaining dishes, be sure to return to the pot for heating before eating, and be sure to thoroughly heat and boil them to achieve complete heating;

Finally, thank you for reading. You can leave us a message in the comment area and talk about your opinion. Sharing brings happiness, we are waiting for you in the comment area!

Guangdong people are wandering outside, and food cannot be wasted. Generally, we eat out and can't finish it, which is also disrespectful to the chef! So our ordering is also point-to-point, not the more the better! Many times, if you know how to control your appetite, you should avoid packing! However, there are many times when we accidentally order too much food. We always pack and take it away for our family or neighbors. In short, it will not be wasted. Sometimes the landlord invites me to dinner, and people worth more than 10 million don't waste it. Pack up and go!

When you are in the village, it is also a feast. After all the guests are full, most of the remaining food is packed, either for themselves or for chickens and dogs.

This is not a matter of face, it is a matter of personal accomplishment!

But when I met friends from other provinces, I ordered a lot of dishes, most of which were not only eaten, but also wasted! But they think it's generous to entertain guests! I understand, but I think it's a waste! ! ! !

Personally, I think it is a saving for Cantonese people not to finish cleaning up, which is very good!

For northerners, Cantonese people feel "stingy". In fact, when guests come home, northerners love face and cook a lot of dishes. Even though they know there will be leftovers after eating, they still have to cook. They always feel that they don't cook much, as if the host doesn't welcome or respect the guests. Where are the guests? If the host family cooks less, they will feel stingy.

Cantonese people are different. Guests eat the dishes cooked by the host family, which is a kind of respect for the fruits of their labor. When they came to their home, they were tired of cooking hard. If they can't finish eating, they will leave leftovers. How bad it is.

A friend in the south said that he went to a supplier in the north on business, was received by others and ordered a lot of dishes. He was worried that the food he ordered would be wasted, so he ate it desperately. When he finished eating, the host secretly ordered a few more, and finally he couldn't eat any more.

The position of the host standing in the north is that when he saw that the guest was almost finished, he felt that the food he ordered was not enough and ordered it again.

Therefore, the cultural differences between the north and the south are still great.

Let me give you my opinion. I am a northerner myself. When I first came to Guangdong, I really didn't pack up for dinner with my friends, because my friends were all northerners at that time (mainly because I was too young). Later, I stayed in Guangdong for a long time and found that Cantonese people can't finish the dishes even if they have money. I just realized that people are not poor stutterers, not stingy, that's what people are. So I also started packing. Now that I have been in Guangdong for more than 20 years, it is natural and normal for me to pack. This aspect reflects the pragmatic style of Guangdong people. We should strongly advocate that we should not waste. It's a great pity to throw away what we paid for. I didn't go to someone else's desk to pack leftovers. Why can't I pack my shopping? China wastes too much food every year. We only have enough food for a few years, and then we start wasting it. I think the attitude of Cantonese towards food is something that everyone should learn. Refuse to waste, start with you and me. I hope young people study more and eat more. The CD campaign can't just be a slogan, even if they can't finish eating it, they should pack it. It is also suggested that restaurants can ask guests whether they need to pack after eating, so that guests can pack as much food as possible.

Packaging leftovers, in the eyes of colleagues from other provinces, is like: straw blowing fire-stingy!

Leftovers are not packaged. For relatives and friends in Hong Kong and Macao, it is: chickens crow in the middle of the night, I don't know ugly!

Cantonese people think it's extravagant to treat guests and pack leftovers at both ends!

In the eyes of relatives and friends in Hong Kong and Macao, it is good to eat enough, but it is wrong to eat leftovers. The host and guest are unfamiliar, welcome!

Please listen to the style when eating, and please eat personality when eating?

For example: special dishes, try to introduce them to the guests, sometimes they are served too much. For example, ordering food in front of guests will attract more orders. There are many kinds of Cantonese dishes, so sit down and eat leftovers. The hotel will encourage guests to take out food! This is also the reason.

Popular working meals and business packages will not be left, but they are generally not used to treat guests!

I was born and raised in Guangdong, and I was taught not to waste any food since I was a child, so I went out to eat and order, and I tried to eat as much as I could, so I wouldn't waste it when I was in liquidation, and I would stick to packing if I couldn't finish it. Traveling to Tibet, a large group of friends went to eat roast whole sheep. They ordered a lot of dishes and couldn't finish them. Because friends treat me, I'm sorry to clean up. It's a pity to see so many plates wasted. A few days later, we invited friends to eat roast whole sheep and ordered a lot of dishes. Because it was our treat, I quietly packed the remaining half roast sheep and two unheated roast chickens, and my husband also blamed me for being a little embarrassed. Because I travel outside, I won't eat packaged food any more. Back to the hotel, I gave the packaged roast chicken to the old man who was looking at the parking lot. The old man was very happy, so he immediately called his friend and asked him to bring wine and have a good drink. I gave the packaged roast mutton to my sister at the front desk of the hotel. My little sister is also very happy, saying that my parents haven't eaten roast mutton yet, so I can give them a taste tonight, and she especially thanks me. Actually, packing leftovers is neither stingy nor shameful. The earth's resources and food are limited. What reason do we have to waste them?
