Chapter 312 There is a shadow on the chopsticks (for subscription)

"Don't talk about it, eating this...sometimes is a good way to solve the disaster!"

"Haha, it really is!"

Li Yuan nodded.

"My friends are right. In terms of food, we are indeed beyond the expectations of many people."

"However, like the seafood you just mentioned, especially the apple snails, I don't recommend eating them."

"Although this apple snail tastes good, but because there are too many parasites in it, if it is not cooked properly, it is easy to be infected with parasites."

Studio.

"Some things can be eaten, and some things can't be eaten, so everyone should pay attention to it."

"Well, I also suggest that everyone must be careful not to affect your health, especially this kind of seafood, there are still a lot of parasites in it."

"That's right, that's right!"

"You can't eat apple snails, but you can eat other things too!"

"Haha, that's right, crayfish are better."

"In fact, I often travel on business and have traveled to so many countries. I still think that the local food is the best, rich and delicious!"

"That's inevitable!"

Li Yuan: "Well, among other things, the round-bottomed pots commonly used in Chinese cooking, and the kind of open fire stoves used in kitchens. These pots are all for the convenience of our eating habits... that is, stir-frying."

"Round-bottomed pots are very suitable for stir-frying, so there are many cooking methods for Chinese stir-frying. In terms of taste, most of our Chinese dishes have a distinct salty taste and are full of variety. Most of the dishes are fully cooked before eating.

"And in our country, there is also a very clear concept of main and non-staple food, and the sense of ritual is quite strong!"

"And now, with the continuous exchange of Chinese and Western food cultures, Chinese food is becoming more and more popular among foreigners."

"The etiquette of Chinese food can be traced back to the time of the Duke of Zhou. However, the etiquette of Chinese food is different due to the nature and purpose of the banquet and the different regions, so there is a big gap in etiquette."

Studio.

"Anchor, can you tell us about etiquette?"

"Is there a lot of attention to Chinese food?"

"There are actually a lot of etiquette in Chinese food, especially the more formal the occasion, the more etiquette and attention."

"That's right, just looking at the tableware we use, there are many kinds..."

"That is, what cups, plates, bowls, saucers, chopsticks, spoons, and there are more detailed classifications in each tableware, such as soup spoons, colanders, tea spoons...etc."

Li Yuan: "Well, there are indeed many sayings about our Chinese food. For example, when eating dinner, the water glass should be placed on the upper left of the plate, and the wine glass should be placed on the upper right."

"The chopsticks and spoons we use must be placed in special paper sleeves, and a pair of common chopsticks and a common spoon should be placed on special seats."

"And Chinese food is also quite particular about the order in which the dishes are served. Cold first, then hot, then dessert, and then fruit."

"Everyone should find that when eating in restaurants, in places that are a little bit more particular, they will give everyone wet towels before serving the meal."

Studio.

"It really is!"

"Don't tell me, there is indeed a wet towel."

"That's right, anchor, what is this wet towel for?"

"Wet towels are for everyone to wipe their hands, don't you know?"

"That's for wiping your hands!"

"What about the water basin? What is the upper water basin for?"

"Yes, yes, there is also a water basin! There are roses in it!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "This friend is talking about... it should be a water bowl, right?"

"Generally, the water bowl is served before everyone eats shrimp and crabs. In addition to roses, some lemon slices are also added."

"But... Don't get me wrong, it's not a drink, but it's for everyone to wash their hands."

"When washing your hands, you can wet your fingers with both hands in turn, rinse them gently, and then dry them with a small towel.

Studio.

"Damn it, it's used to wash your hands?"

"It turned out to be used for washing hands...it's too particular."

"I always wash my hands in the sink. I didn't expect it to be so advanced?"

"I have eaten seafood so many times, why haven't I encountered it?"

"Brother upstairs, the seafood you eat...should be all roadside stalls, right?"

"Haven't seen it? It can only be said that the price of the seafood you eat is not high enough, and the place is not expensive enough!"

"Haha, nothing wrong!"

Li Yuan: "Actually, when we talk about Chinese food, we have to mention one of the most commonly used tools for Chinese food, that is... chopsticks."

"In our country, chopsticks can be said to be a very particular thing. In ancient times, chopsticks were also called chopsticks."

"The history of chopsticks is actually quite long. According to historical records, chopsticks made of ivory appeared as early as the Shang Dynasty."

"The so-called 'Zhou began to be like chopsticks', chopsticks made of ivory are not only a kind of Weihua, but also a symbol of ancient wealthy families."

"But of course, there are many different materials for chopsticks. After all, not everyone has the conditions to use chopsticks made of ivory."

"For example, more expensive gold chopsticks, silver chopsticks, and ivory chopsticks, and affordable bone chopsticks and bamboo chopsticks. As time goes by, there are now many plastic chopsticks and wooden disposable chopsticks. "

"Among all places, the chopsticks in Hunan are the longest. In some places, the chopsticks can reach about two feet!"

Studio.

"Two feet? Isn't that seventy centimeters?"

"Damn, seventy centimeters? So long?"

"Isn't this too long? When eating... how do you use it?"

"Yeah, when you think about it, when you eat, everyone holds a pair of extremely long chopsticks and gathers at the table to eat together. This scene...is really spectacular."

"What do you know, this is our custom!"

"Chopsticks also have a lot to pay attention to, and the methods are different in different places."

"Indeed, when I was young, I was often scolded by the elders for playing with chopsticks..."

"Haha, me too, I often get scolded for no reason when I eat, which makes me have a shadow of chopsticks now..."

Li Yuan: "Well, there are indeed many taboos when using chopsticks."

"To put it simply, there are six words, knock, throw, fork, insert, wave, dance, these six words."

"One avoids knocking on chopsticks, which means that when we are waiting for our meal, we should not take a chopstick in one hand and knock on the cups and bowls at will, making clinking sounds."

"You know, in ancient times, hitting a bowl with chopsticks was a way to summon the dead. Although this is a superstition, the meaning is not very good."

"Second avoid throwing chopsticks, that is, before eating, straighten the chopsticks in pairs, and then gently place them next to everyone's dining table. If the location is too far away, you can choose to ask someone nearby to help pass it out. It can be solved by throwing, which is a very impolite behavior."
