Tea, candy, dried fruits and hand dishes are served before the old eight dishes are seated; After sitting down, first serve the whole dish with oil and vinegar (usually put the coriander in a big bowl and serve it by the attendees), and then serve eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes (with highland barley wine) in turn. According to the master, the oldest eight dishes are eaten once every two days, and the first day is "whole dish" and "eight cold dishes"; Eat "eight hot dishes" the next day. Qinghai people are hospitable and love to drink highland barley wine. They started drinking and eating cold dishes as soon as they were "completely", but they got drunk before the hot dishes were served, so they ate hot dishes the next day.
