The number of dishes selected for the wedding banquet should be even first.
Because the wedding banquet is a red event, the even number of red events means double happiness. Usually, the number of wedding dishes is eight, symbolizing wealth, ten dishes, symbolizing perfection, 12 dishes, symbolizing happiness every month. But there are exceptions, and there are eleven dishes in some places.
But this eleven is not a simple eleven, but two eleven, eleven hot dishes and eleven cold dishes, which together form a single-minded pattern, so the cloth dishes are also very particular. In addition, some places are particularly particular about it, such as eight cold dishes, eight hot butterflies and four fruit spots.
The eight cold dishes are red duck, wind fish, stinging skin, eggs, mushrooms, celery, roasted bones and fried chicken. The eight hot dishes are Babao crispy duck, Ruyi sea cucumber, stuffed mushrooms, Yipin jujube lotus, Kirin pine nuts, Sanxian Haiyuan, lotus seeds and chicken paste, and family acacia. The fourth-grade fruit point is a sweet and festive cake, which is filled with crisp sugar, sugar-fried chestnuts and full of red bean paste.
