First, many people in rural areas go out to live and work in cities, making the population in the village less and less.
In the past, this village had a large population. Today, the Zhang family's son got married and everyone went to the party. Tomorrow, Li Si will celebrate his son's full moon, and everyone will have a banquet. The day after tomorrow, an old man died in the village next door, and everyone went to eat a banquet ... At that time, the banquet was lively, neighbors and friends came to help, and the purser was usually the village head, and then the division of labor was arranged. Some people write gifts, others wash vegetables, choose vegetables, cut vegetables, cook and so on. Although he is a country chef, the cauldron dishes are really delicious. But what about now? Many young people in the village go out to live and work, leaving behind mostly old people and children. With a small population, there are fewer weddings, funerals and banquets, and the countryside is not as lively as before, so it seems very quiet.
Secondly, it's very tiring to set up a banquet. For the sake of simplicity and convenience, many people choose to hold banquets in restaurants in the town.
With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people feel too tired to set up banquets. Generally speaking, a banquet needs 30 to 40 tables. If there are many relatives at home, 40 to 50 tables are possible. It is really troublesome to cook so many meals only by firewood stoves. Therefore, many people book a large-scale restaurant in advance and put a banquet there. Although they spent some money, people were not busy or tired. Everyone went to the town to hold a banquet. Naturally, there would be no banquet in the village, which is very similar to that in the city, because people in the city basically choose hotels for both banquets and banquets. I just ate a few hotel banquets and felt that it was not as good as rural banquets. Why? One is that the taste is not as good as that of rural banquets, and the other is that hotel banquets are too wasteful. Often a table of big fish and big meat ends up with more than half left.
Finally, do you like rural banquets? What do you think of the atmosphere?
