Generally speaking, there are about ten people, one meat, one chicken, one fish, one fried dish, one green vegetable, four cold dishes and one soup. Ten dishes are enough to eat, too much is a waste, which is basically the case here in our hometown. It would be nice to fry two or three dishes if there are few people. Six dishes and one soup, that's a good relationship. Small fried meat, duck, fish, tofu, vegetables, peanuts and soup. This is a good relationship. If the distinguished guests come and ask for nine dishes and one soup, then this dish will be more expensive and the guests will be polite. Guests should have at least four dishes and one soup, and many people should have at least 10 dishes and one soup. It depends on how many people you entertain. This is mostly the case in our hometown. Entertaining guests, family and friends should have four dishes and one soup for dinner. No matter what they eat, have fun together.

Look at the specific people who eat. For example, four men may drink some wine when eating. I usually cook four dishes and one soup, and also add an appetizer, such as cucumbers and peanuts. 10 people are three meat and three vegetables, four cold dishes, four meat and vegetables, one soup, one dessert and two drinks. And so on, in fact, is to have good meat and good food. As for how to match, it depends on your preferences, such as young people and old people. In the past, four dishes and one soup were the standard of hospitality, and three dishes meant letting others go, commonly known as farewell. The grand point is 13 flowers, such as betrothal and reception of leaders. 13 dishes should include chicken, fish (whole fish), meat, four cold dishes, eight hot dishes and one soup.

According to the actual number of people dining, you can choose four dishes and one soup, five dishes and one soup, and six dishes and one soup. Recommend a six-dish soup: braised Wuchang fish, Chongqing roasted chicken, steamed meat with taro powder, dry pot Chiba tofu, lotus root slices, fried red cabbage moss and glutinous rice soup. If you are an old man, you should consider the tastes of some old people. For example, some old people don't like spicy food or hard food. Then our food should be light and soft and waxy.
