1, the position of the host: the host is the first rank of the host, that is, the highest position of the guest, or the most distinguished person to accompany the wine. It's in front of the front door. The main function is basically the owner of the manor, grasping the time of this banquet and the degree of drinking.

The position of the above-mentioned host is mastered according to the ordinary banquet. If there are special factors at the scene, it should be decided according to the situation. If there are many people, please refer to the following rules:

1, the position of the host: the host is the first rank of the host, that is, the highest position of the guest, or the most distinguished person to accompany the wine. It's in front of the front door. The main function is basically the owner of the manor, grasping the time of this banquet and the degree of drinking.

2, the position of the deputy best man: the deputy best man is the second order of the guests and the second most distinguished person among the guests. The position is opposite to the main guard, that is, the back is to the gate. This position is more about driving guests to drink.

3, escort position: some places do not have this position, the position is in the second position on the right hand side of the main escort. His main function is to accompany the host with one left and one right, and put the host and guests in the middle for easy care.

4. The location of the guest: the guest is the first rank of the guest, and it is the place where the highest or most distinguished person among the guests does it. The location is on the right hand side of the mainframe.

5. Deputy passenger seat: it is the second order of the guest. The location is on the left-hand side of the mainframe.

6. Three guest seats: the vice guest is the third guest. This position is on the assistant's right.

7. Four-seat: the vice-seat is the fourth place for guests. This position is on the assistant's left.

As can be seen from the above, the whole position is based on the confirmation of the main position. So how to confirm the position of the main guard? There are two ways. The first is the placement of napkins. Generally speaking, because napkins are folded in different ways, it is difficult to distinguish them in shape. But the napkin folded by the main escort is the tallest, or the color of the napkin at the main escort position is different from others. The second is chopsticks. In a more formal hotel, there are two pairs of chopsticks in the position of the main escort and the deputy escort, commonly known as public chopsticks.

Chinese food is different from western food, and the seats are very particular. If you only know part of it, you may make mistakes. You need to know more about it. Rank arrangement.

At the banquet, the specific ranking of each table is also divided into primary and secondary rankings. There are four basic methods of ranking, and they usually work at the same time.

The first method is that most hosts should sit facing the main entrance and at the main table.

The second method is to hold a multi-table banquet, and each table must be attended by the representative of the host. The position is generally consistent with the main direction of the main table, and sometimes it can be directly opposite to the main table.

The third method is the ranking of each table, which should be based on the distance from the table owner, with the nearest being the top and the far being the bottom.

The fourth method is that each table is in the same order as the table owner, and the right is respected, that is, the table owner is a minister, the right is respected, and the left is humble.

In addition, the number of people dining at each table should be controlled at 10, preferably even. For example, six people, eight people and ten people. If there are too many people, it is not easy to take care of them, but they may not be able to sit down.

According to the arrangement of the above four rankings, the specific arrangement of the round table ranking can be divided into two specific situations. It's all about the theme.

The first case: the arrangement of a theme at each table. Its characteristic is that each table has only one host, the host and guest sit at the right head, and each table has only one dialogue center.

The second situation: the arrangement of two themes per table. It is characterized in that the host and wife sit at the same table, the male host is the first host, the female host is the second host, and the guest of honor and the lady of the guest of honor sit on the right side of the male and female hosts respectively. Therefore, each table objectively forms two dialogue centers, as shown in Figure 9-5 and Figure 9-6.

If the status of the guest of honor is higher than that of the host, in order to show respect, you can also arrange to sit in the host's seat, or ask the host to sit in the host's seat.

1. Chopsticks

Chopsticks are the most important tableware in Chinese food. Chopsticks are usually used in pairs. When you pick up food with chopsticks, you should pay attention to the following small problems:

First, whether there is food residue on chopsticks or not, don't lick them. Isn't it appetizing to pick up food with licked chopsticks?

Second, when talking with people, you should put down your chopsticks temporarily, and you can't dance like a baton with chopsticks while talking.

Third, don't put chopsticks vertically on food. Because this kind of insertion will only be used when paying homage to the dead.

Fourth, strictly implement the functions of chopsticks. Chopsticks are only used to hold food. It is impolite to use it to pick teeth, scratch or pick up things other than food.

ladle

Its main function is to scoop dishes and food. Sometimes eating with chopsticks can also be assisted by spoons. Try not to take food with a spoon. When taking food with a spoon, don't fill it too full, so as not to spill it and dirty the table or clothes. After scooping up the food, you can pause in the same place for a while, and then move back to enjoy it when the soup won't flow down again.

When you don't use the spoon for a while, you should put it on your own plate. Don't put it directly on the table or let it stand at attention in food. After taking food with a spoon, eat it immediately or put it on yourself.

Don't put it back on the plate. And if the food you take is too hot, you can't spoon it or blow it with your mouth. You can put it in your own bowl and eat it when it is cold. Don't put the spoon in your mouth, nor suck or lick it repeatedly.

plate

Smaller plates are vegetables, which are mainly used to hold food, and are similar to bowls in use. Plates should generally be placed in the right place on the dining table and should not be piled together.

What needs to be emphasized is a dish with special purpose called dish. The main function of dishes is to temporarily place dishes taken from public dishes for enjoyment. When a food tray is used,

Don't take too many dishes at a time, it looks at sixes and sevens, like a hungry ghost reborn. Don't pile all kinds of dishes together, or they will cross each other's taste, which is not good-looking or delicious. Don't spit leftovers, bones and thorns on the floor and table, but gently pick them up and put them at the front of the plate. When you put it, you can't spit it directly from your mouth on the dish. You should put it next to the dish with chopsticks. If the plate is full, you can ask the waiter to change it.

4. cups are mainly used to hold soft drinks such as water, soda, juice and cola. Don't use it to hold wine, and don't turn the cup upside down. Besides, what you drink in your mouth can't be spit back into the cup.

Before Chinese food, if you are particular, you will put a wet towel on each diner. Can only be used to wipe hands. After wiping your hands, put them back on the plate and take them away by the waiter. Sometimes, a wet towel is put on before the formal banquet is over. Different from the former, it can only be used to wipe your mouth, not your face or sweat.

6. Toothpick. Try not to pick your teeth in public. Cover your mouth with your other hand when you have to pick it up. Don't watch or re-enter in public, and don't throw it around or spit it out casually. After picking your teeth, don't hold a toothpick for a long time, let alone use it to get food.
