After the guests enter the room, they are first asked to sit down, and then they are offered tea, handed cigarettes, and brought out candies. Use both hands when serving tea and candy trays, and peel off candy wrappers, peel peels, and light cigarettes for guests.

(3) Etiquette for serving tea

The tea utensils must be washed in advance. When pouring tea, be sure to control the amount of tea. As the saying goes, hospitality requires "light tea and full wine." The so-called light tea is to pour the tea into two-thirds of the cup.

Serving tea is also a etiquette that should be noted. According to our country's traditional custom, both parties should serve tea to the guests. For cups with lugs, you usually hold the lugs with one hand and hold the bottom of the cup with the other hand, then give the tea to the guests, and then say: "Please have tea" or "Please drink tea." . Do not hold the edge of the cup with your fingers and serve it in front of the guests. It is unhygienic and impolite to serve tea in this way.

When guests say goodbye, they should generally stay politely. When a guest wants to leave, the host should wait until the guest gets up before getting up to see him off. The host should not stand up as soon as the guest says he wants to leave. Generally, guests should be sent to the gate or alley entrance to see off guests. Some guests often bring gifts. We should respond to this when seeing off guests, such as expressing gratitude, asking the guests not to bring gifts when visiting in the future, or thanking them accordingly for some gifts. We must not act as if they deserve it. If nothing happened, there would be no expression.
