In the past, if any family held a full moon wine, married a daughter-in-law, married a daughter and so on. They basically put a borrowed table and bench in front of their dam, and then invited some neighbors to help them fully show their strong neighborhood feelings. If we want to list the most popular collective activities in rural Chongqing, dam mats will definitely be selected with a high vote. "Have a drink with the old man tomorrow!" As soon as I heard this sentence when I was a child, I couldn't sleep at night. I'm looking forward to eating dam mats with my elders tomorrow! Some time ago, Chongqing people were lucky enough to attend a wedding in the countryside. Their banquet was a grand banquet held in front of their own house.
No matter how many young people scoff at the dam feast now, I still enjoy the nine bowls, and the special dishes full of tables always have the magic to make me wear it for a second. After ten o'clock in the morning, I arrived at my destination today. Before I walked in, I saw the crowd in the distance, and I vaguely felt that all the villagers in the village came to help, cooking, washing vegetables, and making a long queue. That kind of lively scene. The tables in the bazi have long been occupied by the old people, waiting for the first round of banquets and bazi banquets in the countryside. That is to serve yourself. Those who are inactive may not be able to change the turn. In the corner of the dam, a temporary kitchen was built with something like a cushion. There should be a big panel in the temporary kitchen to set the dishes, and today's food is also cooked here.
At about 1 1, cooking has already started in the kitchen. The kitchen is very small, and three women with flexible hands and feet hold up a whole day's banquet.
Super-large wooden products like this are rice with retort bags. The steamed rice has distinct layers and full grains.
Look at the bottom carefully, or firewood.
At first glance, it is boiled white. This dish is one of Chongqing people's favorite dishes and an indispensable steamed dish!
This dustpan is a necessary kitchen tool for rural families. A dustpan can wash the meals of more than a dozen people and hold several tables of vegetables …
The dishes in the kitchen are being cooked in an orderly way, but outside the dam banquet, everything is going on in an orderly way. Plastic benches borrowed from neighbors will also appear at the dam banquet.
Old silver tea is packed in a thermos bucket. When guests come, they will present the first cup of tea with a heavy wooden tea tray, and then the refill will be done by themselves.
When there was no electric stove, everyone used this brazier to keep warm, and the fire lasted for a long time. When everyone sat together, they began to make a dragon gate array. When you sit down, it is difficult for someone to wake you up.
There was no faucet in the kitchen temporarily built by Bazi, so he moved a water pipe and the water for cooking and washing dishes was scooped from the bucket.
1 1 at half past ten, set the table, spread a very eye-catching disposable red cloth, change the tablecloth after eating a table of rice, and throw away the garbage on the tablecloth together.
There should also be drinks, beer and white wine on a table. The drink I drink the most in my memory is fresh orange, followed by peanuts, milk and other drinks.
It's almost 12 o'clock, and we're ready to open the table. The women in the kitchen took the unheated cold dishes out of the big bag and put them on the plates one by one. The chef in the kitchen began to fry some fast-cooked dishes.
The firewood burned in the countryside is very strong, and it will be cooked after three or two burns. After frying, put it in a small pot like this.
When sitting at the table, smart people usually don't sit at the food delivery port, otherwise they will turn around and pick up food most of the time when eating.
Things like dam banquets and running water mats have always been arranged in rows. The people sitting in the seat eat first, and then they can only watch others eat for a round and then go by themselves. Because I was slow, I didn't make the second round of running water seats, and finally it was my turn in the third round.
After sitting on the table, the first thing that comes up is cold dishes and a pot with a small stove. The sour radish in the pot is so delicious that I can cook a bowl of rice with this sour radish.
Then there is the hard vegetable hoof, which the elderly prefer to eat. The main reason is that the meat rake is soft and easy to eat.
There are many kinds of chickens, either stew one at the table or kill it to make a big dish. Where there are chickens, there are fish. Fish is steamed in brown sauce, and each table has a whole fish, which means more than a year.
Xisha meat is a dish that many people stare at most closely at the table. Although it looks greasy, it will be soft and sweet only when chewed with red bean paste and meat.
There is no specific limit to the number of dishes in the Baba banquet. Every place has its own rules. In some places, there are 24 dishes, including 4 cold dishes, 8 hot dishes, 6 steamed bowls and 2 soups, and in some places, there are more than a dozen dishes.
The only thing in common is that there are too many dishes on the table …
At the dam banquet, no matter what big shots or dignitaries you are, everyone huddled together and sat at a big round table, making irresponsible remarks and unconsciously destroying the food.
Of course, you have to pay every time you go to the dam pad. No matter where the banquet is held, the host family will set up a "gift book" to record the accounts of the gifts so as to "return the favor" in the future.
You give me 200 and I'll pay you back 300. In Chongqing, there is usually only a lot of kindness. You give me ten points and I'll give you eleven points. Another point is mutual affection, which is also a courtesy handed down by our ancestors.
Now, with the improvement of life, people choose luxury hotels for convenience.
Although the dishes are rich and exquisite, they are not as touching as the taste buds brought by the buckle bowl on the dam pad, and there is no enthusiasm for eating the dam pad. More is the powerlessness of "how should I perform with you". At this time, I miss the dam pad in the countryside very much, which is simple and free.
OK?
Is it worth buying?
