But if you are the boss, then this seat should be yours. Like a male classmate? Teacher banquet? When he lives in this seat, it is called. Main guard? ; His wife lives right across the street from him. Assistant? .

Before dinner

1, don't say discouraging words, saying discouraging words at a banquet will be considered to affect your appetite; Even this quarrel is even more appetizing. What's wrong? Let's talk about it after eating ~

Don't beat the plate with chopsticks. Old people think that only beggars beat plates with chopsticks when begging.

At the same time, put chopsticks on the table irregularly, call? Did something happen? What does it stand for? Death? ; In addition, two chopsticks should be used at the same time, and you can't eat with one chopstick, that is to say, you can't separate them into pairs. Two chopsticks should be the same color and the same length.

Chopsticks should be placed on the right side of the rice bowl on the dining table, with the head facing the seat and not upside down. Because chopsticks are used for sacrifice, the head of chopsticks is facing the fairy.

In case of emergency, you should finish the work in time, and accidentally drop chopsticks or break plates. Happy! (Chopsticks fall)? 、? Peace through the years! ? 、? Fall to the ground and blossom, rich and glorious! ? (The child did it, and the parents also said it. )

4. Avoid using chopsticks? Tao? (Poke) Chopsticks at the bottom of the bowl? Tao? The bottom of the bowl is a folk way to deal with the bone stuck in the throat: put an empty rice bowl on the head of the person with the bone stuck, and use a pair of chopsticks from top to bottom? Tao? He said at the bottom of the bowl: bone drops, bone drops? It is said that if you do this, the bones will fall off.

mealtime

1, treat people to dinner instead of serving seven courses. People in Henan are very taboo about this. Eat seven? Seven courses are only served at funerals.

2. When placing some dishes, pay attention to pointing the head of the chicken at the guests to show respect; When serving the whole fish, you should show respect by pointing the belly of the fish instead of the ridge. Generally speaking, it's because the fishbone is not very delicious. However, there is actually another allusion. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhuan Xu assassinated Wu Wangliao and hid the dagger in the belly of a fish, which succeeded. So, let the guests see the belly of the fish? Innocent? , to show goodwill.

3. Chopsticks cannot be inserted directly into the dish. The effect is shown in the picture below, and everyone understands it ~

4. Don't turn over the fish when eating with the crew, fishermen and drivers. There are relatives at home who do related work. Fish turning is the bane of traffic accidents. After eating one side of the fish, you can remove the skeleton and eat the other side. If you turn the fish upside down at the wrong time, wait for someone else to turn against you.

5. Don't eat casually? Horizontal chopsticks? When you stop eating at a party, you can put chopsticks directly on the plate or spoon. If you put chopsticks across the plate, it means you won't eat any more. The horizontal chopsticks ceremony is generally used between peers or close friends. In order to show respect for the elderly, the younger generation must wait for the elderly to cross chopsticks before they can follow suit.

6. Don't eat with vegetables. Will people in Henan miss such people? Mean? . Vegetables are used to hold bones and residues, and are also a sign of hygiene and courtesy of Henan people.

After the meal

1, don't ask others at will? Have you finished your meal? Some old people are afraid of being called him? Finished? Because it means this is the last meal.

2. Don't talk casually? So full? 、? Are you dead? In that case, the old people in Henan usually think it is worthless, especially when visiting relatives. Don't do this.

Although young people pay less attention to it now, many people still maintain this traditional concept. Pay attention when you go home for dinner in the New Year, especially when you meet your parents!

Pay attention to the drinking seat

In Henan, drinking is the most important seat, and seats must be given to the elderly or the most distinguished guests. Banquets usually don't start until the guests at the table arrive. Before the banquet, the host or other guests can chat in their seats. When the guests at the dinner table arrive, they should all stand up and welcome them. No one else can sit down until the guests are seated.

In rural areas, banquets are generally held in halls facing south, and the tables for banquets are mostly square tables, and each table can seat eight people. The north is the upper seat, but you still have to sit a little, because the north is the location of God, so you have to stay, the east is the second seat, and the rest are the last seats. Some look at the table seam, the inside of the horizontal table seam is the upper seat, and the left side is the second seat. Others looked at the kitchen and sat on the right side of the kitchen door. It also depends on the distance between the chair and the wall. The nearest one is the top, and the far one is the bottom. In cities, the seats facing the doors are top-floor seats because of the different orientations of the doors. City banquet guests mostly use round tables, with two seats on the left and three seats on the right, and so on.

(1) If there are many seats in the banquet, the chief is set up, and the rural chief is generally located in the center of the room. The duke, first, arranged above the dining room, facing the crowd, with his back to the hall wall; The second is to arrange the chief among the seats. The position of chief must be the most distinguished person. For example, at a wedding reception, the chief has three seats, upper left and lower right, which are the seat of the introducer and the seat of the male and female uncles respectively. Usually there are eight people in each seat. If the director can't sit down, arrange a second seat.

(2) the legacy of drinking three rounds.

? Three rounds? Drinking etiquette still remains in Henan. However, modern? Three rounds? In fact, people from small to large, from small to large, from small to large, from humble to supreme, drink three cups instead of the traditional three cups.

The starting procedure of modern drinking is generally: after all the guests are seated and the cold dishes are basically the same, the host or host of the banquet should first say a few toasts, explain the reasons for inviting you to drink, and then propose that everyone drink the first glass of wine. When drinking the first glass of wine, people usually stand up from the table, clink glasses and thank the host for his kind invitation. Then sit down and taste the dishes, and then * * * drink the second glass of wine. After tasting the dishes again, * * * drank the third glass of wine. When drinking the second and third glasses of wine, you don't have to stand up, but pick up the glasses together and let the bottom of the glasses gently touch the wine table. You don't have to drink the first and second glasses of wine, but you must drink the third glass of wine. Because drinking the third glass of wine means the beginning of the feast is coming to an end. So-called? Wine leads three rounds, food leads five flavors? The banquet will cut to the chase and enter the toast stage.

Popular folk toast

Do you toast more in Henan? Patrol? Generally, the host will toast the most distinguished person in the seat first. Different from the rules of toasting in the Yangtze River valley in the south, the toasting in Henan is not to drink, but to let the toasting person drink, so people generally call it toasting? Pour wine? . It means pouring wine for the guests and buying them a drink.

Before a toast to the first glass of wine, a guest stands up and drinks a little wine from the glass. Is this called? Make a cup? . After emptying the glass, the toaster gives the reason for the toast, either welcome or thank you, and then pours the first glass of wine to the toaster. It is generally recommended that the other party finish the whole cup, and the toast is also colorful and varied. After drinking the first glass of wine, the toaster will say? What's up, man? Pour wine for the admirer again. After drinking the second glass of wine, toasters usually ask respected people to have another drink. If rejected, you will offer to accompany the other person to finish the third glass of wine. Some people who were toasted offered to have a third glass of wine together.

After pouring the wine for the first guest, pour the wine for the second guest in turn until everyone in the seat has finished drinking. If the wine in the hip flask (or wine bottle) happens to be finished, what is it called? Jiufu? This cup doesn't count. You need to pour another one. Then the second toaster pours wine for the people in the seat, and the toasting phase ends only after the people who are used pour wine for each other. During the toast, others can chat and taste the dishes.

(4) Right? Fish head wine? pay attention to

People in Henan attach great importance to banquets? Fish head wine? It often becomes a climax of binge drinking.

Generally speaking, when people are drunk, braised carp (or other fish dishes) is the main course on the table, which is presented by the service staff at the right time. Well-trained service personnel put the plate with braised carp on the table and turn the table so that the fish head is just aimed at the most distinguished person on the table. If the desktop can't rotate, put the plate with fish directly in front of the most distinguished person and aim the fish head at the most distinguished person. At this time, no one is allowed to turn over the desktop again, and those who are toasting or ordering wine must also pause.

Car owners usually follow? Top three, bottom four? The rule of drinking fish head wine is to let the guest with the fish head facing drink three glasses of wine first and the guest with the fish tail facing drink four glasses of wine first. Because the fish's tail is forked, sometimes it faces two people. At this time, there will be two people drinking fishtail wine. Sometimes the people who accompany the guests to drink fish head wine are the people sitting on the left and right sides of the guests. Their advice is often? Fish's eyes are bright, and they drink all around? Something like that Drink fish head and fish tail wine, and sometimes talk? Five bellies and six backs? That is, those facing the belly of the fish should drink five glasses of wine, and those facing the back of the fish should drink six glasses of wine.

Strictly follow? Head, three tails, four bellies, five backs, six? The rule is to drink a lot of wine, and guests may not be able to drink well. Therefore, in some areas, a flexible approach has been adopted. Guests facing the fish head only drink a glass of fish head wine, and guests facing the fish tail drink a glass of fish tail wine. Honorable people who have drunk fish head and fish tail wine often cover the fish's eyes with a little shredded onion and coriander after drinking fish head wine and say? Don't drink a cover? Please * * * have taste.

The reason why Henan people pay so much attention to drinking fish head wine is not unrelated to the local carp culture. Carp is a specialty of Henan province, with delicious meat. Among the people, the story of carp yue longmen is widely circulated. In people's minds, carp is the embodiment of dragon. At formal banquets such as wedding banquets, the whole carp is often braised in brown sauce. Drinking fish head wine means paying special attention to carp. In the process of drinking fish head wine, it also shows respect for guests, venerable persons and elders.
