The chassis does not directly contain food, but its function is a combination of decorations and trays. There is a chassis in front of the dining car, and the waiter puts food and dishes on the chassis when serving; Sometimes, the waiter will take the chassis away when serving the first meal. Some restaurants don't put a chassis on the dining table, but the waiter will put the food and its plates directly on the dining table when serving.

1, finished eating
Knives and forks can be placed on the same side of the plate in parallel. At this time, even if you still have something on your plate, the waiter will know that you have finished eating and will take the plate away at the right time. The spoon is placed horizontally in the soup plate with the center of the spoon facing upwards, which also means that the soup tableware can be taken away.
I haven't finished eating yet.
The plate is gone. If you want to continue eating and open the knife and fork into a triangle, then the waiter won't take your plate away.
Step 3: Add meals.
The plate is empty, but you still want to eat. Open the knife and fork in a figure of eight, and the waiter will add more food for you.
If you are talking, you can hold the knife and fork, but if you need to make a gesture, you should put it down and never wave it in the air. It should be noted that at no time should one end of the knife and fork be placed on the plate and the other end on the table. It is particularly important to note that the blade side must face itself.
