Chapter 64: Table Etiquette

After taking a seat, after a while, Wen Wan was holding the plate. She walked very steadily, her body swinging very slightly, but she walked very fast.

Her face has always been filled with a smile that is unique to her age, youthful and lively, but at the same time not elegant and innocent.

The two old men who wanted to sit in the north nodded first and gestured before putting the plate on the table, leaning towards the north.

This is one of the etiquettes, Qin Yue's dead ghost father has taught him before.

Although at home, when two people eat, they are in a state of fast hands and slow hands. It's like grabbing food, but that also has to be done after Qin Dazhao has put the plate and sits down before he can start.

Of course, Qin Dazhao doesn't cook every day, and he also has a lot of time to go outside and eat here.

Occasionally, I will encounter a family in the community to celebrate a birthday, marry a daughter or something, if you meet a neighbor to marry a daughter-in-law, it will be even more amazing, eat for three days.

At that time, there were not so many routines now, and there was no need to eat and drink. When you come, you are giving face to the host's family, and ordinary people will not prepare so many seats, dishes and chopsticks, and the host will not buy them, or borrow them outside.

It is between neighbors, familiar and good-related, bring things from their own homes, tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, etc. Tie a red rope to the table and chair, wash the dishes and chopsticks, paste a piece of red paper on the bottom of the bowl, and bring it to the master's house.

In order to make up for some joy, the host took something, which represented the blessing of the host's family, and there was a red envelope afterwards.

The chef at the wedding banquet is usually a woman or aunt who often does housework. They will also have a big red envelope to take, thick, Qin Yue was very envious of them when he was a child.

My father was a frequent guest at the wedding banquet because of his name, after all, at that time, the transportation was not very convenient. When young people get married, they are also attacking the people around them.

In my hometown, the original world is relatively loud. If you marry a daughter, having him to send her relatives together can also deter the bride's in-laws. The same is true for marrying, with a father with you, your mother's family will not be too difficult.

Therefore, when Qin Yue was a child, he ate a lot at the wedding banquet. At the wedding banquet, the rules are also the most exquisite.

Before starting the meal, Qin Dazhao would always teach Qin Yue over and over again. How to hold chopsticks, when putting chopsticks, you can put them on the table or on the bowl, but they must not be inserted in the bowl.

The direction is also particular, when you put it, the chopsticks should not be facing yourself, and you should use the end of the meal to face others.

And there's many, much more.

For example, when picking vegetables, you can only clip what you are holding, even if you don't like to eat it, you must not put it back.

It is also impossible to turn a plate, and later I heard that people directly invented a table that can be turned. Qin Yue really thought that they had invented it for this purpose.

Dad, what Qin Yue said, Qin Yue didn't always abide by. Every time he crossed the line, Qin Dazhao would always slap the back of Qin Yue's hand, and it was quite painful.

But Qin Yue always remembered to eat or not, and he committed it again and again, and the relationship between the neighbors was also very good. The adults always laughed at it, but on the other hand, they said Qin Dazhao, saying that Qin Yue was just a child, and he would naturally understand when he grew up.

Later, Qin Yue grew up, on the day Qin Dazhao died.

Overnight, grew up.

Sure enough, Qin Yue understood those things.

Because I recalled his words over and over again, and kept them by again and again.

The banquet at Qin Dazhao's funeral was the most regular banquet Qin Yue ate, and from beginning to end, no one could find fault with it.

After that, Qin Yue replaced his father and guarded the riverside community. The wedding banquet gradually decreased, and in the end, even if someone invited Qin Yue to go, Qin Yue would not attend.

The way of the world has changed, and so has the hearts of people.

How many times have the two sides broken up because of the bride price. How many times, the groom knelt at the door, cried and cried, and finally had no choice but to leave.

How many times has the wedding banquet been changed to a luxurious hotel, and Qin Yue has just come back. When I sat down to eat, countless people began to rush when the first dish came up, and some even brought bags to pack it.

The children kept pulling and pulling on the plates, making the whole table full of leftovers.

There are also those who talk at the funeral banquet and laugh before and after. Qin Yue was glad for them in his heart at that time, but fortunately, on the day of Qin Dazhao's funeral, there was no them.

Otherwise, Qin Yue would let them know what the Law on the Protection of Minors is.

Since then, Qin Yue has never participated in any banquets. He didn't have any relatives, and over time, no one would invite him.

Qin Yue also thought about what the problem was.

I have also come to the conclusion that after the demolition of my hometown, many people have left, all over the world. The new ones who move in are just trying to get cheap, stay for a while and leave, so they will naturally not manage the neighborhood relationship.

Time passed, and I sat at such a table again, surrounded by a full of people.

Wen Wan set up the plates, set up the chopsticks from the north, east, west and south, bowed slightly, and left again.

Patting Qin Chifan, who couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, he taught: "What are the monkeys anxious about, wait for the two old men to move first." ”

The scene is just like Qin Dazhao back then, when he was educating Qin Yue.

Qin Chifan looked at the steaming meal on the table, and said unwillingly: "But, I'm older than them combined, why don't I move first." ”

Qin Yue was speechless by what she said, this kid, what nonsense is the truth.

The old man laughed, and laughed very happily. Picking up chopsticks, I picked up a dish of dry fried beef river, put it in my mouth and chewed it.

Qin Chifan opened his big watery eyes, held chopsticks, and looked at Qin Yue with momentum.

He had a lot of words in his heart, and he wanted to hand them over to Qin Chifan one by one, but Qin Yue couldn't find what to say. The main reason is that Qin Chifan may not be able to endure it for so long, if it is really like that, Qin Yue estimates that when the third article is spoken, she will have to bite.

I could only nod helplessly, "Eat, slow down." ”

Qin Chifan nodded vigorously and stood on the stool violently. The table is relatively large, and the plates are a little northern, and her little short arms are indeed a little difficult.

Qin Yue smiled awkwardly, but the old man didn't mind at all, and pushed the plate in front of Qin Chifan. It was convenient for her to pick up a little, Qin Chifan was not polite at all, and as soon as the chopsticks went down, a plate was less than a quarter.

The old man pressed his chopsticks on the table and raised his hand, "You're welcome, please." ”

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and stretched them out to the plate.

Although it seems to be more cumbersome, the old man can use his left hand. But this can be said to be the greatest respect for guests.

Qin Yue pulled Qin Chifan's clothes, hoping that she would be a little more restrained. It's not that Qin Chifan really doesn't appreciate it, or he pretends not to know, and continues to sweep.

And Qin Yue's small movements were also seen by the old man, and he looked at Qin Chifan's appearance, but he was not angry. Instead, he showed a kind gaze and said, "The little girl is so cute,"

At this time, Wen Ting walked in slowly, and after saluting several old people, she sat next to Qu Weiye.

The old man looked at Wen Ting, smiled and asked, "You look at the girl, do you want Wen Ting when she was a child." ”

Wen Lao shook his head and retorted: "Wen Ting was a quiet child when she was a child, I look more like Wen Wan. When I was a child, I spoiled you, but it took me a lot of effort to correct it. ”

The two old men argued, looking at each other and smiling.

Wen Ting looked at Qin Chifan's appearance, and also covered her mouth and smiled, as if she remembered something interesting.

Wang Dagen and his wife had been sitting in a daze, holding chopsticks and not knowing how to start. I am afraid that they don't know how to count etiquette, which will make the Qu family unhappy.

Now seeing Qin Chifan like this, he also looked bold, and one person picked up a shredded carrot in a fish-flavored shredded pork and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Qin Yue stood up, took a large chopstick dish, and put it in the small bowl in front of Wang Dagen. Wang Dagen trembled and took it with both hands in his hand.

thanked Qin Yue again and again.

Qin Yue frowned instead, at his age, it was worth Qin Yue's doing. He thanked him, but it made Qin Yue very uncomfortable. The old man nodded at Qin Yue with praise and said, "Everyone has their own way of living, why embarrass others, let alone embarrass yourself!"

Qin Yue continued to clip a chopstick to Zhang Cuihua and thanked the old man: "Thank you, old man, for your teachings." ”

Then I sat down.

The old man looked at the two old men and said in a very gentle voice: "You don't need to be too restrained, you are guests." This is a family feast, so you can just treat it as if it were your own home. ”

The two elders nodded again and again, and under the old man's gaze, they took a few pieces of meat and put them in their mouths. After hesitating for a moment and exclaiming, the old man turned his head with satisfaction. The two elders also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up their small bowls, and sent them to their mouths, and Qin Yue gave them the dishes. At the same time, he looked at Qin Yue gratefully.

After a while, Qin Yue hadn't eaten a bite, and the dishes were all ruined by Qin Chifan.

Everyone could only put down their chopsticks helplessly, Wen Ting took out a tissue and handed it to Qin Yue. Qin Yue looked at her eyes, thinking that it was because she was some distance away from Qin Chifan, and it was inconvenient for her to get started.

took the tissue, pressed Qin Chifan's head, and wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth. Twisting her little face, the two thanked Wen Ting together.

When Wen Wan came back, he was still accompanied by a woman who had just given her fifties.

Her figure, as far as women are concerned, is somewhat burly and walks with a tigerish style. It is in stark contrast to Wen Wan on the side.

Seeing the empty plate on the table, she seemed a little happy, put down the plate in her hand, and put away the empty plate. Only then did Wen Wan step forward and put down the plate in his hand.

After doing all this, the woman spoke: "Old man, why did you start the meal so early today, and you didn't say a word to me." ”

The old man had a straight face, but the WeChat at the corner of his mouth betrayed him.

"Don't you see the guests? I don't have any eyesight, I deserve to be so old and I can't get married. ”

The woman retorted: "This guest has just arrived? Xiao Wan told me that this person has been here for a long time, and he doesn't know how to call me." ”
