Dining room.

After Hu Doudou's grandfather solved the great hunger, he felt that he was refreshed and his mouth was strong, so he muttered to all the family members present.

"I don't know, how much do you know and understand about China's table culture?"

As he spoke, he looked around at everyone, including Hu Doudou's uncle and aunt, as well as his grandmother.

"Today, I will take advantage of Hu Doudou's new arrival at our house to say a few words about this matter."

"The table culture has been left since the time of Confucius and Mencius, and it has been thousands of years now, since it can be passed down to this day, it shows that the ancestors attach great importance to this matter, just like today's seven-year compulsory education."

At this time, everyone listened carefully, and no one said a word.

“…… Okay, I won't say so profound, let's put it simply, just take the small thing of our daily meal.

The rule of our ancestors is very simple, that is, the table must be set up before eating, and the chairs must be set up.

When eating, there should be an order, that is, the old ones come first, and the young ones come last.

The old one sits at the top of the seat, which is a kind of respect for the elderly, and the children and young people cannot occupy it, otherwise it is called a great rebellion, lawlessness, lawlessness.

Of course, from this point alone, you can also see whether that person is educated or not.

So, then, then there are the slightly older middle-aged, young people, like the Mom and Dad generation, who come in and sit in the second seat.

And then there's the kids. ”

Hu Doudou's grandfather said, Miao Miao turned her face, looked at Hu Doudou's grandmother, and asked puzzledly:

"Then, why doesn't my grandmother sit in the chair?"

"Ugh!" Hu Doudou's grandfather's expression suddenly froze, and then he replied with a smile, "That's a good question, why didn't your grandmother come to sit in the chairman's seat?"

Of course, it stands to reason that your grandma should be sitting in this position, but if you ask your grandma, why isn't she sitting here? ”

Miao Miao heard this, and just when she was about to ask her grandmother, his grandfather spoke again.

"There is a special case here, that is, this rule is not a dead rule, but it is very flexible, and if anyone does not want to sit, they do not have to force it."

"Besides, if your grandmother is sitting here, who is going to cook for you? Right? ”

Miao Miao listened and nodded.

At this time, He He felt that his sister Miao Miao asked his grandfather a question, so he was unhappy, and felt that he should also ask his grandfather a question, in that case, it would be fair.

"Grandpa, grandpa," He He pursed his lips, looked at Miao Miao very proudly and asked his grandfather, "Am I not a good boy sitting with you?" ”

His grandfather smiled and said, "That's right, you are a little child, sitting in your grandfather's seat, obviously very uneducated, unless you are not sensible!" ”

He He said that, and stopped to stare at Miao Miao, wanting to see where he still hadn't caught up with Miao Miao.

At this time, Hu Doudou's grandfather continued to nag and said, "The matter of sitting at the table is over, and then it is time to eat, although this seems simple, there are a lot of learning texts in it."

For example, before eating, children are not allowed to move chopsticks when adults have not moved them.

And only after the adults start to move the chopsticks can the children start to move the chopsticks, which is a sign of politeness.

When eating and sandwiching vegetables, you can't clip directly from the top of the dish, but from the side, little by little, otherwise, it will give people a feeling of poverty and poverty, just like you, who have never eaten delicious food.

At the same time, it also seems that you are a very casual person and have no education.

Of course, there is also a study of pickled vegetables.

The older ones give the younger ones a kind of love, on the contrary, the young ones give the older ones a kind of respect, love, which is a kind of politeness.

Moreover, after the elders have eaten a bowl of rice, the younger generations have to consciously take the initiative to serve them rice.

When serving the food to the elders, it must be held with both hands at the same time, otherwise, it is an act of disrespect for the elders.

Of course, I mean that you serve rice to the elders with one hand, and when you hand it to you, it's like you're feeding a pig with a bowl of rice.

Right?

On the contrary, when you hand food to the elders with both hands, it looks a lot more elegant, and it seems that you are a person who respects the elderly, understands the rules, and is worthy of the respect of others. ”

At this time, Hu Doudou had almost eaten and felt that he was not too hungry, so he also pricked up his ears curiously to listen.

However, after listening to the fart for a while, Hu Doudou didn't listen anymore, he didn't know what his grandfather was talking about, in fact, he didn't pay much attention to it at all.

Hu Doudou thought that his grandfather was talking to He He or Miao Miao. So he turned his gaze curiously to his aunt.

Hu Doudou thought to himself: Why is there such a woman all of a sudden? Who is she? He had a serious expression on his face, just like his mother had when she was angry.

Just as Hu Doudou was curious about his aunt,

Hu Doudou's grandmother pushed him hard, and whispered in his ear:

"Doudou, don't be half-hearted, you have to be serious, put your ears up and listen, these things are very useful, if you don't know now, it'll be too late to know later!"

"What's late?" Hu Doudou didn't understand his grandmother's words.

"I mean, when your grandfather beats you, when you actually hit the nail, you'll know it's too late!"

"Oh!"

Hu Doudou listened, and immediately pricked up his ears to listen, he didn't want to be beaten by his grandfather because of this, if he was beaten by his grandfather because of such simple rules, it would really outweigh the losses.

"I've said how to deliver the bowl, now it's time to eat the second bowl."

Hu Doudou's grandfather continued to joke, "Actually, it's not a matter of whether you should eat the second bowl or not, but the witty way of saying it is that after the elders have eaten the first bowl of rice, the question should not be asked when eating the second bowl."

Generally speaking, after the elders finish the first bowl, of course, they are not full, so don't ask if they want a second bowl at this time.

If you ask, it will look very unsightly, as if you are afraid that this elder will eat an extra bowl of rice from you.

It's like you, a person who wishes the elders would be full after a bowl!

Therefore, the correct thing to do is not to ask if you want another bowl, but to quietly and politely take the bowls of the elders and serve the rice according to the amount of the first bowl.

As for whether the elders can actually eat two bowls, it is the elders' own business.

Under normal circumstances, if the elders think that they can eat two bowls, then they will not say anything to you, and if they don't say anything, that is, they will acquiesce, you just need to fill the first bowl for the elders.

If the elders can't eat another bowl, they will tell you how much they can eat when you take their bowl, and then you can serve the meal as the elders ask.

If the elders can't eat a bowl anymore, when you take their bowl, they won't hand you the bowl, they will tell you, "I don't want it, I'm full!"

Look at it, this is reasonable, and you can see from this word and deed what your character is.
