What table manners do you know?

The most classic table manners my mother taught me since I was a child is: Eat without saying anything and sleep without saying anything! But I think this etiquette doesn’t seem to work anymore, because now we all chat while eating! Whether it is a dinner party with friends or a family meal, there are always some things to talk about at the dinner table, and naturally it is impossible to stop talking. The table manners I know are as follows:

First of all, I now only understand "eat without speaking" as: when a person is eating, try not to continue talking, and put the food in your mouth first. Talk after eating, or eat after talking, because people who talk while eating will always make a sound that makes people feel uncomfortable, which affects other people's appetite. At the same time, they are also likely to lose some food and saliva. Come flying out everywhere!

Secondly, don’t fly like an elephant across the river when picking up food. I remember when I was a child, I went to some banquets with my mother. As a child, I was not sensible. For the food I wanted to eat, I would just stand up and pick it up. At that time, my mother asked me to sit down and pick it up. Later, she told me how inappropriate it was for a girl to stand up and pick up food while eating with other people.

After returning home, she started to teach me table manners. What I remember most is that when picking up dishes, you cannot fly like a flying elephant across the river to pick them up. Even if it is a dish you like, you have to wait for it to be transferred. When it comes to you, go and eat. If you can't eat, you won't be able to eat, and you can't lose your etiquette. Maybe this is Chinese traditional etiquette!

Again, don’t use your private chopsticks to pick things up when there are public chopsticks. Nowadays, when we go to social events, in some better hotels, there will be serving chopsticks. You may all know that saliva on each other's chopsticks is a terrible spread, so this is the case.

So when there are public chopsticks at the table, please use public chopsticks and don’t use your own private chopsticks to pinch them everywhere. This should also be the most basic etiquette. It is not discriminating against you for having an infectious disease. It is purely For everyone's personal hygiene, you don't want to eat other people's saliva, and others are not happy to eat your saliva. It's that simple.

Finally, when the food is served, you do it after others have done it. This is more important. Sometimes when you go to socialize, you are actually very hungry, but don’t be anxious for a minute or two. Before everyone takes action, just drool silently! This etiquette is the most profound knowledge I have gained in the workplace.

In short, if you are a weak woman, then please be a lady, chew carefully and slowly, do not pour a big mouthful or a big bowl directly, and your movements should be a little more elegant; if you are a If you are a personable man, then please be a gentleman and let the ladies take their seats before taking a seat, and take more care of the ladies. You are right.
