Mutou fish, that is, fish carved from wood, is an indispensable dish in rural banquets in the northwest of Rushan in the old days. In the old days, the mountainous area in the northwest of Rushan was far from the sea and the traffic was inconvenient. It is very difficult to entertain guests and eat fresh marine fish in these places. However, it is a pity that there are no fish on the wine table at home. The local people invented wooden fish. The so-called wooden fish is to carve a fish out of wood and put it on a plate like a real fish, covered with scrambled eggs, chopped green onion and other materials and seasonings. At the dinner table, you can't tell whether it is a real fish or a fake fish. At this time, the host will often start to persuade the wine, and will not hesitate to pour himself down and get the guests drunk, so as not to let the guests see the flaw and leave a little face. Many times, many people are drunk before they see the fish. So a classic story spread, saying that a person sat in a banquet all his life, but never ate the fish on the banquet. reprint
