I have worked in northern Shaanxi. Whether it is weddings, funerals, hoop kilns or warm kilns, I pay attention to treating guests, saluting and collecting money. And this kind of dinner is usually called "eight bowls". The moral of this story is that there are so many that you can't get over it. So eight bowls may be the endorsement of cave customs, which is incomplete, but it basically condenses all similar scenes. Eight bowls are divided into soft eight bowls, hard eight bowls and outer eight bowls. Soft eight bowls are the easiest, serving eight dishes at a time, four meats and four vegetarian dishes. But it is considered shabby. Hard eight bowls are different. It is served twice: once with four meats and four vegetarian dishes; Four vegetarian dishes and four meat dishes at a time. Eight meat and eight vegetables, can not be copied. In this way, it looks decent. The outer eight bowls, as the name implies, are not big. So there are only eight cold dishes, and you can drink them in summer. But it is more affordable, and it is a small fight.
