1 and before the 1980s, my hometown paid attention to "the head of a chicken and the tail of a fish", and the last dish to send guests off was fish.
Why emphasize before the 1980 s? This is because before this, the countryside was not rich, and it was a "big banquet" to have chickens and fish, which was very decent. The first main course is chicken, which means good luck, and the last course is fish, which means more than a year. Generally, when the fish is served, everyone knows that the food is served, and you can withdraw after eating. In fact, fish is the last "farewell dish" for another reason: in the past, rural banquets were all cooked at home (or by village cooks), and the smell of fish was very strong. If the fish is cooked first, the big iron pot will be affected before cooking, so farmers are used to cooking other meat dishes and vegetarian dishes before cooking the fish.
Step 2 wire drawing
I have been to a rural area, where the custom is that the last dish to send guests off is "drawing". As soon as the drawing came up, everyone had a lively "pull" to make the sugar silk crystal clear and long. You can leave after eating. Personal guess, maybe this drawing is also a moral, which means that I hope my friends and relatives will come and go often and have deep feelings.
3. Stir-fry belly silk
In our northern countryside, one or two sets of goods are indispensable for making banquets. In some places, the last dish to send guests off is "fried pork belly" Some people say that it means blocking, and some people say that there is no more, suggesting that there is no food below, and the banquet can be over. 4, freezing, some rural habits, the last dish to send guests is "frozen." Whether it's pigskin jelly, pig's trotters jelly, ribs jelly or chicken jelly, in short, seeing the frozen food on the table proves that all the dishes are served.
