Rice in southern restaurants can be renewed for free, but steamed bread in the north can't. Why?

Because southern food tastes light, people don't need to eat too much rice when eating, while northern food tastes heavy, so people must eat more steamed bread.

Due to the great differences between the north and south food cultures, many people go to unfamiliar environments and make a lot of jokes. It is worth mentioning that rice can be refilled for free in the southern restaurant, while steamed bread must be paid in the northern restaurant.

First, the difference in food culture makes the demand for staple food between the north and the south very different. Southern cuisine is mainly light, so in this case, guests don't need rice to digest their meals. Northern cuisine is mainly salty. If you don't digest it with steamed bread, it's hard for everyone to eat too many dishes. Therefore, due to different needs, steamed bread in the north needs to be purchased, while rice in the south can be replenished free of charge.

Second, the production cost of rice is lower than that of steamed bread. Although both rice and steamed bread are staple foods, it is far more difficult to make rice than steamed bread, because rice can be made by washing rice and mixing it with a certain amount of water. Steamed bread takes a long time to make, so the cost of making steamed bread is much higher than that of rice, which is why northern restaurants do not provide steamed bread for free.

Third, the importance of staple foods between the north and the south is very different. Southerners mainly eat vegetables, while northerners mainly fill their stomachs, and staple food is the best thing to fill their stomachs. If the northern restaurant provides steamed bread for guests free of charge, there will undoubtedly be serious losses in the northern restaurant, so the northern restaurant does not provide this service for free.

In fact, there are other obvious differences in diet between the north and the south, but there is no difference between high and low, and the reason for this difference is mainly because of the long-term development process according to the actual situation.
