0 1. About seats
Front-to-door seats are upright, if there is no front-to-door seat. Then the two seats on the right and left of the front of the door are the most distinguished seats. What China advocated was "respecting the East while respecting the left". In other words, next to the most distinguished seat, the position on the left side will be more distinguished at the same distance.
If we sort by this seat, we will know where we should sit.
02. About ordering food
When there is plenty of time, be sure to let the guests order. If the guests are particularly modest, we must ask about each other's eating habits, and we should not order according to our own tastes. When ordering, we should not order too many expensive dishes, which will make us look grandiose. Of course, we can't order all ordinary dishes, which will make us look casual.
Also, when ordering food, don't let the leader order food, as the leader will be embarrassed. You can ask the leader about the price of the food in advance and estimate the approximate budget.
03. About eating vegetables
Most of us in China are enthusiastic. When we eat, especially at family dinners, we often help each other to show our enthusiasm. However, in the workplace, especially in the case of foreign guests, don't pick up food for others, which will make others feel unsanitary. Besides, sometimes people will be embarrassed if you put in a dish that others don't like.
When eating, we should also pay attention to our own image, don't eat with big mouths, and don't make any noise when eating, which will make others think that we are barbaric and impolite.
04. About drinking
First, we should wait for the leader to propose a toast before we can propose a toast. When we propose a toast, we should raise our glasses with both hands.
Second, if you are a toast, then you must not drink less wine than the person who is toasted, which will show disrespect to the other party.
Third, when toasting, don't toast a bunch of people at a time, unless you are the leader. Otherwise, make a one-on-one toast.
Fourth, on the wine table, don't stop the wine for the leader at will, unless the leader has instructions, it may be self-defeating. Remember, the wine table is definitely not a place to be brave.
Fifth, in case there is a shortage of wine, put the bottle in the middle of the table and let the people in need fill it themselves, so as not to be embarrassed by the lack of alcohol.
05. About leaving
After a full meal, you will leave. If you are the guest, you must send the guests out one by one. Guests can't leave without leaving. If you are the party being treated and have to leave suddenly, don't say goodbye to everyone on the wine table. You should go directly to the host and just tell him so as not to affect other guests' dinner. When the host sends you away, don't pull the host to chat at the door, because the host has many other guests to take care of.
Finally, to sum up, the whole process of dining table reflects a person's accomplishment. If you want the other person to have a more comfortable eating environment, then you must first arrange your seats reasonably; Then order according to the guests' eating habits; Don't give others food when eating; When drinking, always pay attention to the amount of alcohol and the demand of everyone on the wine table; When you leave, you should be polite and do it in an altruistic way.
