Banquets in rural areas were restricted for economic and human reasons more than ten years ago. Basically, they have to buy food and cook by themselves, and sometimes they can even eat their own food at parties. It's different now. Banquets in rural areas are basically very ostentatious. Whether it is a small matter like buying a car for further study, or a big event like a young man getting married or an old man having a birthday, a special chef will be invited to cook in the countryside. So now the banquet dishes in the countryside are much more delicious. Most banquets in rural areas are ten dishes. According to the types of dishes, pay attention to the order of serving, so what is the order of serving?

In my rural hometown, the order of serving is like this. First, the first dish on the table is not one of the ten prescribed dishes, but an appetizer, usually cold kelp or a large plate of fried peanuts. Then when the main course is served, the first course is usually soup, mainly meatballs and mushroom chicken soup. The second course is roast steak or stewed mutton. If it's a grilled steak, it's usually ten yuan, because ten people sit at a table, so one person can eat one piece.

The third course is a side dish, such as appetizing sauerkraut, such as fried pork skin, or fried pork intestines with sour radish. The fourth course is stir-fried beef, which is usually fried with pickled peppers and a little celery. This dish is very popular and delicious. The fifth course is braised pork in a big bowl. Generally, few people eat it because it is too greasy. The sixth course is Zharou, a local specialty that few people eat. Maybe it's overeating. Basically, there will be banquets.

The seventh course, often a dish of boiled shrimp, may also be baked shrimp with salt. The eighth course is stewed trotters with radish, which is my favorite dish. The ninth course is rice flour meat, which is a local specialty and steamed with lotus leaves wrapped in meat and flour. The tenth course has a special meaning and will never change. It's fish, either steamed fish or braised fish. No matter what you do, it will be fish, which means that it is more than enough every year.

The above is the order of serving my rural banquet.
