"Food stall" is a word from Guangdong, which refers to an open and simple public dining place. However, this term is probably a relic of ancient corruption.

According to the textual research of the palace menu discovered in the Southern Song Dynasty, there is not even meat in the palace every day. Sometimes, court attendants pay for their own meals and invite emperors, nobles and ministers. It suddenly became an atmosphere. Because it takes turns to treat guests and queue up for duty, it is called "queuing".

Of course, I paid for it myself or found a place to reimburse it. When I arrived in Song Lizong, I began to get it from the central treasury and all levels of finance. At that time, the manager of Guangdong, Chen, was transferred to the Privy Council to sign a contract, that is, from the commander of the military region to the high command as a senior assistant. Seeing this "corruption" phenomenon, he was very dissatisfied.

He said that there are two purposes for subordinates to invite superiors to dinner, one is to earn some money to eat the difference of reimbursement, and the other is to win over relationships, so this phenomenon should be banned. But when the report was submitted, there was no result. People who eat and drink seem to be fine, and naturally eat more vigorously, and are not limited to low-level consumption such as eating and drinking.

Later, "partner" was introduced to the people and became a simple, cheap and popular consumption form. Because it is often located on the street, there are many tables, chairs and benches. At the same time, Cantonese people often refer to street stalls as "stalls" or "stalls", which further becomes "stalls".
