Home-cooked meals: Wanquan people are famous for their diligence and thrift, and they are used to thrift. The daily diet of ordinary families is commonplace, that is, small rice is the staple food, accompanied by boiled vegetables.
During the busy farming season, most families are used to eating three meals by solar eclipse: rice with salt in the morning, oatmeal and yellow cake as the staple food for lunch, and yam dipped in sauerkraut. Dinner is millet or millet porridge, and the western regions are used to millet and rice soup.
In off-season, there are usually two meals. In the morning, we usually stew porridge with millet and yam, and occasionally stew porridge with millet, mung bean or red bean, commonly known as "bean porridge".
Hospitality: Thousands of people have always been hospitable, and "guests from afar" must be treated with good meals, good dishes and white wine. The staple food is mainly Daoxiao Noodles, oil cake and oil cake. People who are a little better should fry two or four dishes, all of which are home-cooked dishes, such as fried tofu, scrambled eggs, fried shredded yam and vinegar-vinegar cabbage.
Wine is the local white wine. In the first month, when guests enter the door, they serve tea in "four plates" first, and four plates are four kinds of snacks. (It used to be called "kitchen food or tea food" instead of dim sum. ) Most people regard sesame seed cakes and China fruits (candied dates) as ordinary teas, and the better teas are hibiscus cakes and trough cakes. Putting tea and vegetables on the table, drinking tea and drinking water, and chatting about home, the warmth is beyond words.
Banquet: Banquet refers to the wedding day, which is called a red and white wedding in rural areas to entertain relatives and friends who come to celebrate or mourn. Before the banquet, treat each other with "four dishes of tea". After tea, the saucer was removed and the banquet officially began.
Usually the banquet menu is eight dishes, eight bowls, eight bowls, six bowls and four plates, and four plates and one hot pot, all of which are mainly pork and mutton. The big bowl dishes are steamed meatballs, braised elbows, roasted pork slices, ribs, sweet and sour fish, fried tofu, oily meat, stewed kelp vermicelli and so on.
Dishes are generally cold dishes, such as cold vermicelli, mixed vermicelli, pig water, chicken and so on. And hot pot dishes are "hodgepodge dishes", that is, all kinds of meat dishes are put into hot pot and eaten around. It is best to eat hot pot dishes in winter. Banquets used to be eight bowls. In order to be more ostentatious, many poor people would rather borrow money than put on a show to reach the level of "eight bowls"
Wealthy families are rich if they add eight big plates in addition to eight bowls. It used to be the most upscale, and few people can eat sixteen dishes. Banquet rice is usually rice.
