The menu is written on the blackboard and hung on the wall outside the shop. There are two unusually rich menus in "Great Tactics" and "Evocation of Soul" in Songs of the South, including: eight-treasure rice, stewed beef tendon, May soup, stewed turtle, roasted mutton, vinegar goose, roast chicken, mutton soup, twisted dough, roasted quail and stewed dog meat.

The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in Song Dynasty is a famous painting by Zhang Ban, and it is also a "food picture" in Song Dynasty, a picture of eating and drinking. There are more than 100 houses in the painting, nearly half of which are restaurants. There are several interesting details hidden in it. Zooming in, it was the delivery service of the takeaway brother at that time.

In ancient times, it was necessary to order takeout. Unlike today, you can order food on your mobile phone. There are usually three ways: buying, door-to-door selling and agreed delivery. "Call by the hour", the restaurant sends someone to the door, and it is also cash on delivery. If you are a regular customer, you can spend the night at your house and the waiter will pick you up the next day.

In ancient times, the deliveryman was not called a takeaway brother, but a "idle man". It reflects that there was no full-time food delivery staff at that time and the hotel business was busy. Looking for a few "idle men" to earn the difference, compared with today's courier brother driving a moped and driving a driveway, it can be described as a heaven and an underground.
