The rules of diet

When serving hot dishes, the head meat (cooked by the head of cattle and sheep) is placed on the head of the dining table, and the dishes cooked by internal organs are generally placed at the end of the dining table. Pay attention to the combination of cold and heat, and the meat is thin. These are specially placed by people standing at the table, serving food and pouring tea at the table, each with his own responsibilities and in an orderly way.

However, these things are not so important now. If you can't eat the dishes served, you can turn around until everyone has finished eating. There are no distinguished guests at present. In the past, guests and guests were very particular about eating, that is, each guest had to eat a bowl of stir-fry or stew. When guests eat a meal, they also serve some dried fruits and honey dishes before serving.
