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

first, let's start with the characters of Cantonese people. Guangdong people are pragmatic and grounded, and they don't like to compare. What they like very much is: there are so big hats. It means, do what suits your situation, don't exaggerate. So this pragmatic approach permeates every bit of life. Ordering food is not wasted, it is subject to a slight surplus, and it is not required that you can't finish eating a large table. If you order too much, it is natural and pragmatic to pack it and take it back.

second, the habit of eating out in Guangdong. As a native of Guangzhou, eating out is a common practice. I often eat out, too lazy to cook, eat out, colleagues have happy events, eat out, and also eat out when they are heckling. So going out to eat is not tall and ordinary, so you can save a lot of time to buy food and cook for the second meal if you have left the package. You can eat it with a microwave oven, and the pace of life is fast. Who doesn't want to save time? Packing leftovers is in line with saving trouble. In particular, snacks will be packed, because the next morning, I rushed to work, and it was more worry-free for breakfast! Take this one for example:

Third, Guangdong people's attitude towards food. Cantonese people are serious about eating, respect food and will not waste it casually. For example, there are often all suckling pigs at banquets, and the pig's head is usually uncut, and the whole pig will be left on the plate. This will definitely not be left. It is a good ingredient, and it can be used for soup and porridge. The meat is tender and delicious! Moreover, Cantonese people need a lot of ingredients to make soup. Many people only drink soup and don't eat dregs. Sometimes the packaged things can just make soup without wasting.

fourth, Guangdong people are rich and don't care about other people's eyes. I guess a lot of people may want to call when packing, but I'm sorry. But Cantonese people don't. They pack generously, and no one will make irresponsible remarks. Because packaging is not shabby, not poor money, but virtue. Therefore, it is very casual to pack in Guangzhou. 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 want to make a box of fried rice for breakfast tomorrow, that person says I want scallion cake, and the other person says I like flapping my wings. Don't waste the rest of the boiled chicken. Who wants it? Everyone is really casual. If you take it, no one will think that you are greedy and cheap. If you never fire at home, everyone will not force you to pack it and take what you need. It is very harmonious. It's equivalent to Chow Yun Fat riding a bicycle on the subway. Will others laugh that he can't afford a car? It's impossible So packaging is the same, not bad for the leftovers, just a normal attitude. Just as Guangdong people are not short of money, a red envelope means ten yuan each. A few days ago, my family ate all the German salted pig hands in the picture below, so it must be packed!

ten years ago, a classmate treated me. Although I didn't expect any big meal before I went, I actually subconsciously thought it was a restaurant that everyone usually went to or something similar. As a result, when I saw dumplings, I felt a little different. I was not the only one who might feel this way. I didn't eat much. After eating a sentence without a word, I made an appointment to go to the Internet cafe soon. The rest of the guests and I looked at the remaining dumplings. The other party said don't waste them, pack some and take them home. I refused without thinking. The other party thought I was polite, so I made another statement. The other party had to pack it up and take it away. In fact, for me at that age, although I knew what was right, I still felt a little disdainful.

the heating was turned on inside, and when I pushed the door out, a gust of wind was still a little cold. It also woke me up, and ten thousand people in my heart despised myself, despised myself for thinking that way, and despised myself for refusing twice in a row. I couldn't help asking myself what it was. From there, I really looked down on this behavior from my heart and felt that it was right to do so.

Weddings and birthdays during the Chinese New Year holidays can't be separated from restaurants. Nowadays, people don't go there to get full. How to deal with leftovers is still a problem after each meal. I think it's okay to pack them, and even help pack them. But I still don't want to take them home when it's my turn to make a banquet, but it's different from the past, but it's really many. I'm sure I won't be able to eat them when I bring them back, and I'll have to throw them away eventually. Of course, there is another point. If I spend all my money, I will stay if I can't eat it. Or, I paid for it myself, so why not take it with me?

packaging leftovers is really full of life.

It can be said that Guangdong is the most complete province that has preserved the ancient Chinese culture. Due to geographical reasons, Guangdong is less influenced by foreign cultures. So up to now, Cantonese has become the orthodox inheritance area of ancient Chinese, and the ancient Chinese culture has been preserved relatively completely. In ancient China, food was very important, and "squandering natural resources" was a heinous act! So ancient Han people cherish food very much! This can be proved in many ancient books. Guangdong people's behavior of not being extravagant, vain, wasteful and keeping a low profile is the embodiment of ancient Chinese culture! All are fine traditions! Anyone who has received Chinese traditional education should understand this. On the other hand, in other parts of China, no matter how big or small, there will be a big banquet! There are too many leftovers on the table! On holidays, there are thousands of red envelopes! Shiny appearance, shy in the bag! So that the poor people at the lower levels 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: What do you think of 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 practice of packing leftover food by Cantonese people is worth popularizing. It is precisely because they are rich that they understand the difficulty of starting a business and keeping a business. From this point, everyone should learn from Cantonese. Packing leftovers is a virtue, and wasting food is shameful. What do you think of the phenomenon that Cantonese people like to pack leftovers?

Let me give you my opinion on whether to pack the leftover food when eating in a restaurant.

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

However, society is realistic and cruel, and people's words are awesome, which makes most people eat in restaurants, and they choose to ignore whether the leftover food is packaged.

Most of the time, it's not that they are unwilling to pack. Instead, they are worried about people's terrible words and being criticized by others. For a simple example, if the host who pays the bill for dinner is already a wealthy class, then he chooses to pack and will be praised by other people at the same table for being frugal.

On the contrary, if the host of the dinner party is a poor class, and he chooses to pack at this moment, his friends at the same table will look down upon him and make irresponsible remarks, saying that he is too poor to even eat the leftover food;

Presumably, most of the time, people don't choose to pack, but they have more concerns in this respect. 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 for business in his early years. Because of his work and many influences from his colleagues in Guangdong, his most obvious habit was to pack food. Whether he went to a hotel for dinner or a fly restaurant on the street in Wuhan, his father would pack the food he could not finish.

In the first few years, my mother was still very unhappy. My mother loved face and felt that packing was a matter of losing face. There were also fierce conflicts between the old couple because of the packing of food by my father.

why has mom changed? I don't know about this. I think it may be that after their retirement, their life circle has narrowed, or they are getting old, or their mother is no longer saving face, or it is the progress of the times, the country is rich and strong, and their mother is influenced by the big environment. I don't know about this, but the change is certain;

One day, the children of relatives had a full moon, and after the banquet, there were really a lot of dishes left, and there were some dishes, and everyone didn't move chopsticks at all. Dad really felt sorry for these ingredients;

But he is old and frail. Even if all the dishes are packed home, the old couple can't finish them. Unfortunately, they can only pack as much as they like.

Dad was just about to move chopsticks when Mom took the initiative to take care of the packing, asked the waiter for four packing boxes and started packing. In the process, my dad's eldest sister-in-law caught her and asked her with concern if she needed help.

My mother is still a little embarrassed. She said eagerly: No, no, the father likes these dishes, so we won't cook at night. It's a pity to pack some leftovers home. First, it's more economical than delicious. Third, it's a pity not to pack them.

My eldest aunt, my mother's eldest sister-in-law, is a very open-minded person and advocates thrift. When she saw her mother's change, she said happily, Don't be embarrassed. I packed several boxes at our table, too. These are all hard dishes. It's a pity to throw them away.

Today, seeing this question and answer from the subject reminds us of some past events. Back to the question and answer from the subject, let's simply analyze the reasons why Cantonese people like to pack leftovers:

1. First, let's start with the character of Cantonese people. Cantonese people are pragmatic and realistic, pay attention to filial piety, pay attention to benefits, do not make superficial articles, are open-minded, dare to say and do things, and are ahead of the national atmosphere. It is China's reform and opening up.

2. Guangdong is the main body of Lingnan culture, which emphasizes diversity, openness and compatibility;

3. Guangdong people are hard-working by nature and can bear hardships. Most of the hard work of Guangdong people to make money comes from hard work. Most of them started from small business vendors. Although they are tireless in their pursuit of money, they know more about the difficulty of making money.

4. Influenced by the ethos of the whole society in Guangzhou, it has been passed down by several generations, but they may have a profound understanding of the fine tradition of hard work in every meal.

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

6. The diet style in Guangdong is relatively light, and the original taste of the ingredients is pursued. In addition, the chef does cook delicious food, so it is also possible to pack it for the family to taste.

7. In my understanding, it may be that Cantonese people know how to live, waste and cherish food, which may also be due to the social class. Most businessmen know that everything is hard to come by and should cherish it more.

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

At the end, 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:

1. When packing the leftovers, you should 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. Before eating, you must return to the pot for heating, and you must heat it thoroughly and boil it until it is completely heated;

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

Guangdong people drift by, so food can't be wasted. Generally, we eat out and can't finish it, which is also disrespectful to chefs! Therefore, 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 order too much food unintentionally. We always pack it and take it away for our family or our neighbors to eat. In short, it won't be wasted. Sometimes the landlord invites me to dinner, and people who are worth more than 11 million yuan don't waste it. Pack it up and go!

When you are in the village, it's the same with banquets. After all the guests are full, most of the leftover food is packed, and you can take it back for yourself or feed it to chickens and dogs.

it's not a matter of face, it's a matter of personal accomplishment!

When friends from other provinces entertain me, they order a lot of dishes, and most of them are not only eaten, but also wasted! But they think it is generous to entertain guests! I understand, but I feel wasted! ! ! !

Personally, I think it's a saving for Cantonese people not to finish packing, which is very good!

For northerners, Cantonese people are considered "stingy". In fact, when guests come to their homes, northerners love face and cook a lot of dishes, knowing that there will be leftovers after eating. They always feel that they don't cook many dishes, as if the host doesn't welcome or respect the guests. What about the guests? If the host family cooks less food, it will feel that the host family is stingy.

Cantonese people are different. When guests finish the dishes cooked by their host family, it is a kind of respect for the fruits of their labor. When they come to their home to be guests, they are tired of cooking hard. If they don't finish eating, it's not good for them to eat leftovers after you leave.

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

From the standpoint of the host from the north, he thought it was his own food when he saw that the guests were almost finished.

So there is still a big cultural difference between the north and the south.

Let me talk about my opinion. I am a northerner myself. When I first came to Guangdong, I really didn't pack my food when I went to eat with my friends, because my friends were northerners at that time. (Mainly young people can't keep their face open.) Later, I spent a long time in Guangdong, and found that Cantonese people would pack all the food they could eat, even if they had more money. I just realized that people are not poor stutterers, not stingy, and that's what people can do. So I started packing, too. Now I have been in Guangdong for more than 21 years, and packing is natural and normal for me. In this respect, it reflects the pragmatic style of Cantonese people. It should be strongly advocated that we should not waste. It is the most pity to throw away what we have spent money on. I didn't go to other people's tables to pack leftovers. Why can't we pack what we bought? China wastes too much food every year. We have only had enough food for a few years and then we start to waste it? I think the attitude of Cantonese towards food is something that everyone should learn. Rejecting waste starts with you and me. I hope that young people can learn more and eat as much as possible. The CD action can't be just a slogan, even if it can't be finished, it should be packed. It is also recommended that all hotels, in
