The slow serving of Putian banquet lies in the way of dishes and etiquette.

Generally, dishes are cooked and served on the spot, while seafood is cooked and eaten on the spot, and the dishes are neat. It takes about two hours at the earliest.

Another point is table manners. When a dish is served, it will be served later, so that guests can have time to finish it. In the past, it was the square table, where several dishes could not be put on the table, and then it was served at the back. Let the host and guest have time to enjoy

the order of serving. The first course is braised tofu or stewed bean curd with Chinese cabbage, followed by cold dishes, followed by shrimps and snails.

The indispensable dishes are stewed tofu, fish, noodles with noodles, oyster soup, glutinous rice balls and sweet soup. Every dish here has its own meaning.

These dishes are native Putian dishes.

For example, in Changle District of Fuzhou, the wedding banquets in this place are all served at once. However, Putian has always had its own serving logic.

The serving process of Putian's wedding banquet is roughly as follows:

At Putian's wedding banquet, usually after the opening of cold dishes, the first course is served with famous stewed tofu, followed by chicken, duck, fish, seafood, etc., and then one dish after another ...

When the dishes are almost served in the first half, the groom will take the bride to share cigarettes and sweets with everyone, which is also the meaning of introducing the daughter-in-law to everyone.

Then, the noodles with noodles made of red mushrooms, oysters, dried clams and other ingredients are served. To tell the truth, this dish is too rich in content, and it is estimated that you will be full once you eat it ... At this time, guests will disperse early, children will go down to the table to ask for sugar, and some men will start walking around to make wine. For Putian people, they will still serve delicious food.

Putian people are not only slow in serving banquets, but also very particular about their serving process. For example, in the past, wooden dishes were borrowed from neighbors (meaning gathering blessings). People who serve food generally assume that they are single young people (the old generation said that they can be blessed and it will be their turn to marry a wife in the coming year). In addition, when serving food, experienced people usually take the lead, and the rest should remember their own position. The position served by this leader is usually the table of an important elder. Of course, how to sit in this seat is also very particular. Please don't take the wrong seat when you go to the banquet ~

If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The reason why Putian banquet is slow is that every dish of the banquet is made now, and the average family banquet is basically 4%. It takes about 2 minutes to cook each dish, and some cold dishes and steamed vegetables are interspersed to keep the interval of about 1 minutes. The most important thing is that sometimes the host will specially order the chef to serve slowly, because! ! ! It would be impolite to propose a toast to each table, if the food is too fast, dozens of tables will be finished before the banquet is finished.

China is a country of etiquette, with a history of 5, years of civilization, and now many etiquette are simplified or omitted directly. Putian banquet is slow to serve because all kinds of etiquette have to go through it. Putian has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and there are many processes and rules at the banquet. A table is usually 8 people, and the inner hall or upstairs is usually a distinguished guest. To know why the running water seats in Putian rural areas serve food so slowly, we should first take a look at what dishes they eat at the banquet.

The picture above shows the 16 dishes to be served at the happy event in Putian rural area. Let's take a look at these 16 dishes. Only two dishes can be prepared in advance. One is a colorful platter, which is a combination of braised pork and vegetarian dishes, and the other is a Lingnan fruit spelling.

These two dishes can be prepared before the banquet begins. Only these two dishes, prepared in advance, will not affect the taste. But other dishes, such as steamed fish, need to be steamed now to taste right. If steamed too early, it will lose its taste for a long time.

Although stewed soup can be simmered slowly, the banquet in rural Putian is a real running mat, and you can't serve all the soup at once. The rural banquet in Putian will be considered for the guests, and the service is gradual. For example, a dish of tofu braised by farmers is served, and everyone eats a little dry. The next dish will be served with rock candy and golden wings to moisten the throat of the guests.

On the other hand, banquets in other rural areas, such as the eight bowls in the north, can steam all the dishes in one steamer.

even if it's not eight bowls, there are many cold dishes there, and some places will serve fried dough sticks. These dishes can be prepared in advance. Although there are some dishes in Guangdong that need to be steamed and fried, there are also many local dishes such as roast goose and boiled chicken that can be prepared in advance. The most important thing is that they will also serve a lot of dishes at once, which is not really a traditional water table.

If the banquet is served with fried dough sticks and cold dishes, the speed of serving will naturally be much faster. To sum up, Putian is a unique existence, unique in the uniqueness of dialects and unique in the running water seats in rural areas. This flowing water mat is a real flowing water mat, unlike other rural areas, where most dishes are prepared before the banquet starts, and when the banquet opens, the table is filled with various dishes. Nowadays, the banquets in Putian city are also moving closer to other places. Only the rural areas in Putian still maintain the traditional flowing seats. The banquet in rural Putian is a real flowing banquet, which will consider the guests and the order of each dish. Most dishes are required to be fried now, so the speed of serving will naturally slow down a lot. Moreover, the clan concept in Putian is very strong. Everyone pays more attention to communication at the banquet, rather than eating and drinking there, and the host family will slow down the pace of serving. As for some people, it is wrong to say that people will not serve this table and leave it to the owner to eat. Even if the children's tables are all gone, you have to serve your food, which is to prevent others from running back and there is no food on the table. If this happens, it is to slap the host's face. Putian rural banquets, most of the money will not be collected, and they will not care that the dishes are not wasted.

The speed of serving in Putian's banquet is mainly due to the host's letting the guests eat more, and the guests stay longer to hold the banquet at home. Traditionally, the banquet is a table for eight people, and the local chef arranges nearly 2 dishes. The dishes are too large and few, so it usually takes 2.5 hours to finish. Nowadays, hotel-style banquets are popular in rural areas. It is enough to serve 16 dishes for 1 people. It is good to eat more and not feel full, and the time has been shortened from 2.5 hours to 1.4 hours, greatly reducing the time for eating banquets. The country banquet needs a big reform! This is some country banquets hosted by the local chef team "daniel tsai Banquet". Hope to adopt it! If you feel good, leave a message

Why don't you take the initiative to roll

Because there are children on the table sometimes, and because the host wants everyone to be happy, it is because the food is delicious and fresh that he has face. For example, some meat dishes should be eaten hot, and if they are left cold for a long time, they will not taste good.

Putian people talk about Putian!

The topic said that Putian banquets are slow to serve, which is indeed a custom in Putian. Whenever there is a happy event, friends and relatives are usually invited at home. When there are a large number of people, a chef will be invited to cook. Seasonings and side dishes will be prepared in advance, some hard dishes will be cooked in advance, and the rest will be cooked at the beginning of the banquet. Now, every dish will be cooked at intervals, usually after most people at each table put down their chopsticks.

(Putian noodles)

There are three reasons for this. First, the dishes cooked in this way are warm and taste good. Second, Putian people are hospitable. It is generally believed that it is more polite to entertain guests with hot food. Third, I want the guests to enjoy the dishes, because each dish will be removed, so I can't urge the guests to eat.

So it usually takes two or three hours for a banquet to come down. No wonder the host thinks that Putian's banquet is slow to serve.

The speed at which Putian banquet is served has nothing to do with the speed of the scalpel of Putian Department!

People in Putian are bound to treat people to wine when they get married, marry their daughters, celebrate their birthdays, have a full moon wine, and invite them to play mahjong. Banquet guests who have the conditions to support their own kitchens usually invite local chefs to provide one-stop service. Whether it's red or white, the banquet is served one by one. In addition to your wonderful answers, there are several reasons as follows:

1. There are too few cold dishes and too many hot dishes, lest anxious guests burn their mouths.

2. There are many kinds of dishes, usually more than a dozen dishes, so that after a year of desolation, the guests' stomachs will concentrate on the early years.

3. The dishes are plentiful, so that the guests have enough time to chew slowly.

4. propose a toast to cigarettes, enliven the atmosphere, set aside time to confide in long-lost guests, and get drunk before showing the enthusiasm of the owner.

5. Respect the old and love the young, and the villagers will take care of the villagers of the older generation when they treat guests. Old people are slow to move, which is also a consideration.

6. It takes a long time. Birthday banquets and back-door banquets usually last from about 12 noon to about 3 pm, and wedding banquets usually last from about 7: 3 pm to about 1 pm. Playing hemp is very casual, because it takes a short time to eat before the stage.

7. The main reason for the slow serving is to let everyone destroy every dish as much as possible, without leftovers. Waste!
