As far as raw materials are concerned, there are several basic items in China rural wedding banquets: chicken, duck and fish feet, which are basically essential. Judging from the fancy of the wedding banquet, cold dishes should be cooked 6-8 times, and hot dishes should be cooked around 10. Then don't forget soup, snacks and fruit.
