In rural areas, the main purpose of hosting your own banquet is to get together with relatives and friends, so you have to have three meals a day and have a midnight snack in jiaozi in those days. In restaurants, people will think that it is simply to accept a bride price for a meal and send everyone away. In fact, whether in a restaurant or a family banquet, the cost is similar, so even though many young people want to do it in a restaurant now, those old people still want to do it at home. If you don't meet often or haven't seen each other for several years, extend the banquet time for a day or two to facilitate contact. So the relationship in rural areas is very complicated now. In a town, no matter which one, as long as you talk, you will always find more or less relatives and friends.
Viewpoint 2: First of all, the relative cost of putting wine at home is much lower than that of hotels. You can buy a lot of rice, oil, salt, vegetables and meat, even cheaper than usual. In rural areas, wine is usually served by people with better cooking skills among relatives and neighbors, and the cost of chefs is also saved. The dishes made are also more in line with the tastes of local people, and the amount is also considerable;
Secondly, it is the atmosphere. All relatives and neighbors can help each other when serving wine at home. Men kill pigs to cook, women wash vegetables and dishes, and children can also help choose side dishes. Everyone is chatting while working, which is lively and festive. When everyone arrives at the hotel early, the atmosphere at the table will be much better.
Viewpoint 3: There is a certain reason why rural people like to hold banquets in their own villages. It is not that they are not troublesome, but that everyone is willing to go to such trouble.
First of all, a banquet at home will be lively. If you hold a banquet in your own village, you will have the help of the villagers. This is a big party for everyone in the village, and it is also a lively thing.
Secondly, it's easy for me to hold a banquet in Brewmaster, but my relatives are in trouble. Generally, the whole village is relatives, so they will attend the banquet of rural people, which will bring some trouble to the guests.
After all, rural people are more economical. Leftovers from banquets at home can still be given to the villagers' elders for a second meal, or they can be packaged and returned to their hometown to eat.
The banquet in the hotel is not only a waste of money, but also not lively. Rural people who like to be lively will choose to hold banquets at home.
Viewpoint 4: The countryside has long been accustomed to banquets. Farmers love lively and festive scenes, and self-cooking is in line with farmers' wishes. Playing alone is not as good as playing with others, which can close the relationship between relatives and friends and the harmony of the neighborhood.
Secondly, it is more in line with the frugal social atmosphere to reduce waste and eliminate neighborhood comparison by catering by yourself.
Viewpoint 5: In rural areas, most people (including the rich) prefer to arrange their own banquets instead of going to hotels for several reasons:
1, rural people love to be lively, and many people invite banquets. If it's nothing, besides relatives and friends, villagers will be invited (other places are not clear, we will invite all villagers in the group to dinner in Qidong). The banquet scene in the countryside is quite lively, and the atmosphere is completely different from that of the hotel.
2, the cost is low, which is the most practical reason. For the same table, the hotel costs 3,000 yuan, and the housekeeping company is required to provide one-stop service for only 60 1 table, which is cheap and affordable. When I got married, my wife's relatives came from Shanghai and felt the wedding banquet in the countryside. The seafood is fresh and the food tastes good, not as bad as expected.
3. custom. Banqueting at home is an ancient custom and will not change in a short time.
4. The house area is large, and it is possible to hold banquets. Houses in rural areas are generally relatively large. Take my home as an example. There are three rooms on the first floor of the third floor, with a total area of 100 square meter (not counting the kitchen), which is enough to hold ten tables of banquets.
Although I live in the city now, I still choose to hold my own banquet when I have something at home.
Viewpoint 6: On the one hand, it is traditional customs, on the other hand, it is family cohesion, on the other hand, it is to make guests feel at home and eat comfortably. As for the greed for saving money, it should not be. You can get married several times in your life, and no one can afford it. Speaking of traditional customs, hometown is a great event. Please hand down your genealogy first and make something to eat. Anyway, we should respect our ancestors first, and then let our relatives and friends eat them. People's Hotel can't let you give genealogy in the hotel. Speaking of family cohesion, I started school at the age of 13, which I have never experienced before. When I got married, I informed my family from door to door four days in advance, and came to my house at night to discuss the tables, chairs, pots and pans, what to buy, where to invite the chef and arrange the work in detail. I am particularly touched. The next day, early in the morning, my uncles, each with a group of people, began to take action, buying food, cleaning up the yard, setting fire to the pot, and they were very busy.
The guests were informed in advance and many people came. There are more than 100 tables at home, and each table has more than 10 dishes. They also occupied several neighbors' yards and set up sheds. It was packed before noon 10, and guests came after 10. By the way, let the guests feel at home. The guests are all familiar with their families. Several people go together and are free at home. I am very happy to take this opportunity to chat and have dinner together. If you are in a restaurant, you should be very restrained, personally.
The banquet culture in rural areas is not only in the banquet, but also in the preparation process of the banquet. From pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to vegetables, fruits and snacks, the preparation time of the master is as long as one year and as little as one month. The preparation process is full of expectation and happiness. The family is constantly planning, when to buy piglets to feed, and how many waxy corn oil teas to plant, so as to connect the hearts of the family.
Banquets in rural areas are also advancing with the times. Chefs specializing in catering have become professional, and tables, stools, vegetables and chopsticks are on call. Rural banquets also talk about benefits, eating meat and drinking coarse bowls.
Brick-and-concrete or even framed houses are everywhere in the countryside, and bamboo sheds in childhood can't be found, but rural banquets are still full of homesickness, which makes people fascinated.
