I don’t know if you have ever tasted Northeastern cuisine. Maybe they are not as exquisite as the “Eight Major Cuisines”, but anyone who has tasted them will always be impressed by the large portions.

I remember when I was working in Shanghai, I would always go to Northeastern restaurants when gathering with friends. Let’s not talk about the taste. Each plate is relatively large and often full, so for a small group of us, Northeastern restaurants are definitely the best choice.

is the best location.

There were also Shanghai locals who took us to special Shanghai cuisine. We ended up ordering more than a dozen dishes, and each of us only tasted a small bite of each dish. Our stomachs were not full at all. Later, we became more determined in the habit of eating together at Northeastern restaurants.

To talk about why Northeastern cuisine is so large, we have to start with the Northeastern people who are "good at noodles".

If Northeastern people gather for dinner, the table must be filled to the brim to show their enthusiasm and "face" for the guests.

There must be leftover dishes. If you are almost done eating, you will definitely order a few more dishes.

Of course, I personally think there will be some waste, so I usually order as much as I can when I invite my relatives or close friends to eat, but there is often a lot left over, and I will try my best to pack it up and take it back.

One of the characteristics of Northeastern people's "good face" is that almost every Northeastern person has a heart that wears mink.

Of course, as time goes by, people of my generation will be less obsessed with wearing mink than the previous generation.

Do you think wearing mink is just for women?

No, there are many men wearing mink on the streets.

Some people seem to think that wearing mink is a "prestigious" thing.

For example, a few years ago, a relative borrowed money, and the next day the family dressed in new mink and went shopping on the street.

My mother-in-law is a very frugal person. She came from hard times in the past, so she may remember clearly how many cents she spent when buying groceries. She may go to several stores to compare prices before deciding whether to buy something for a few bucks cheaper.

And for such a very frugal person, when we talk about it, we still have the wish to have a mink coat that costs tens of thousands of yuan each.

The "good face" of Northeastern people is sometimes really interesting from an observer's perspective.

Let’s talk about the relative mentioned above who borrowed money and wanted the whole family to wear mink. Every time I went to her house, it was like a show off for her “face.”

Because she will tell you, this one is Adidas, that one is Nike, how expensive this one is, how many famous brands that one is, and owns every new generation of Apple mobile phone.

But everyone who knows her knows that her family may buy the brand-name clothes they talk about a few times a year. Usually they are just things bought online, and they are not very high-end.

As for the so-called "foreign goods", perhaps the trademarks on them are all Chinese logos, or they may be "made in China".

Every time I go to his house, I seem to be listening to them talk about the various scenery of his house. It seems that he is a family with a unique "face".

Of course, what I am talking about may be just an example, and it may also be a one-sided "good-faced" Northeastern person.

"Good face" does not mean vanity, this word is very complicated.

For example, if there are men and women eating together or going out to play, men must rush to pay. If a woman goes to pay, men will use "Are you slapping me in the face? If the girl invites me, then I will too."

It’s so shameless!” Northeastern men are among the best in the country in their humility towards women.

Even though Northeastern men sometimes look reckless and may get into fights because of "What are you worried about?", but if they are rude to women and make a move, they will definitely be spurned by everyone, and they will definitely be "embarrassed".

It’s nothing but a shame.”

Generally speaking, "good-looking" Northeastern people live a very chic life and can live in the present.

They may have saved up for several years to buy a mink coat that only keeps them warm, or they may treat a guest and order twice as much food as the table.
