When banquets are held in rural areas, country chefs are usually invited, and a few large pots are set up in the yard as the kitchen. Many people from the neighborhood come to help, making it very lively.
Many people think that banquets in rural areas are not as good as banquets in urban hotels.
However, in fact, the banquet in the village is no worse than that in the hotel, or even better.
They use their own pork and chicken.
The variety of meat stir-fries is particularly rich.
They look dazzling.
Besides stir-frying and stewing, the most common cooking method is steaming.
The steamers are all very large and made of iron. In cities, such steamers may only be seen in hotel kitchens.
Each cage has different dishes and can steam almost a plate at a time.
The ones above can only be climbed up by stepping on stools, and they are even higher than the house.
On the day of the banquet, everyone is in the yard, and those who eat can also see the cooking process, and serve it after it is done.
Rural people are hospitable. If someone holds a wedding event in the village, basically the whole village will go there to have a drink.
The biggest feature of rural flowing water mats is the steamer. In cities, this kind of scene is relatively rare.
When hosting banquets, country chefs are usually invited. They are all authentic farmers and "gourmets". In the past, everyone helped. They took a pack of cigarettes, weighed a bottle of wine a few days in advance, and said hello to the chefs, saying "Please"
teacher".
We also need to ask a few helpers to gather the tables and benches from every household in the village (we often hold banquets, and every household has preparations, and their names are written on the backs of the tables and benches), and then set up a few large pots in the yard.
The pot is the kitchen, and many people from the neighborhood will come to help. The young people are responsible for passing the dishes, and the elderly are responsible for washing the tableware (there are specially rented ones). First, boil water for 5 minutes, and then rinse with clean water. If you behave well in the village,
Every household will come to support it, including adults and children, and it’s a lively event.
If you don't behave well, people you don't want to deal with will not go there, and it will be relatively quiet. Therefore, when setting up banquets in rural areas in the past, the more people there, the better, the more lively it is, and the more face the host has!
Many people think that banquets in rural areas are not as good as banquets in urban hotels.
However, in fact, the banquet in the village is no worse than that in the hotel, or even better.
They used their own pigs and chickens, fish from fish ponds, cabbage, radish and green vegetables grown in their own fields, and donkeys, all of which were raised by themselves or purchased from the village.
The variety of meat stir-fries is particularly rich.
They look dazzling.
Besides stir-frying and stewing, the most common cooking method is steaming.
The steamers are all very large, some are made of iron sheets, some are made of aluminum alloy, and some are made of traditional wooden slats. In cities, such steamers may only be seen in hotel kitchens.
Each cage has different dishes and can steam almost ten plates or fifteen or six bowls at a time.
The ones above can only be climbed up by stepping on stools, and some are even higher than the house.
When people in rural areas use running water mats, they first build earthen stoves in their yards.
Place a large iron pot on the stove, pour a bucket of water, then clean the steamer and place it on top.
Once it's cooked, it's steaming hot and fragrant.
It is this kind of special steamed bowl that people in big cities cannot eat.
On the day of the banquet, everyone is present in the courtyard, and those who eat can also see the cooking process, and serve it after it is done.
In short, the dishes in high-end restaurants in big cities are not necessarily more authentic than the dishes in rural restaurants. They are more interesting, economical, and delicious!
Those born in the 60s, 70s and 80s who grew up in rural areas have full memories!
Nowadays, running water banquets in rural areas are more convenient. There are restaurants that specialize in booking tables for running water banquets. After negotiating the price, quantity, time, and paying a partial deposit, you can entertain all the young and old men in the village in your home yard.
Of course, if you want to eat with peace of mind, you can also go shopping with the restaurant owner to buy ingredients. Find a few neat dishwashers and those who serve the dishes will be much more hygienic.
Are banquet dishes in rural areas really not as good as those in hotels?
I don't think so.
I have attended many rural banquets in various places. To be honest, I think they are pretty good.
There are also people in the village who cook delicious food, and the ingredients are also bought. After being processed by them, the food is delicious.
Some also invite professional chefs to cook, which is no worse than a hotel.
Many people think that banquets in rural areas are not as good as banquets in hotels. I think there is a reason.
Rural venues are definitely not as good as hotels. In rural areas, people eat outdoors and at home.
Just like some of the weddings I attended, if there was no room at home, I would eat out, which was very lively.
Also, the dishes in rural areas are not too particular, just fill the pot.
For example, for the same pot of shrimps, the banquet in the countryside is filled with people, but in the hotel, they are beautifully arranged one by one, and the same is true for other dishes.
When you go to the countryside to drink, you can see them cooking in big pots.
Different people cook different dishes, and as long as you arrive, the dishes will be served one after another.
What rural banquets require is an atmosphere, plenty of dishes, and plenty of portions. They don’t care whether they are beautiful or not, but what hotels require is that the dishes should look good and the environment should be good.
By comparison, the hotel looks taller.
In short, if the banquets in rural areas are not worse than those in hotels, it’s just that they don’t spend so much time on styling.
If rural banquets are as good as hotels, I think rural banquets will be even better.
