Why is the portion of Northeast cuisine so large?

I'm glad I came to answer your question. Why is the food in Northeast China always so heavy?

I think I have the most say. I have lived in the northeast for 40 years. During these 40 years, I know the customs of Northeast China best. One of the most important reasons is that the thickness of Northeast cuisine originates from the northeast climate.

The northeast is cold for a long time, especially in winter. The sun just rose at eight or nine in the morning and it was dark at four in the afternoon. Throughout the day, the sunshine rate is very short, and people's activities during the day become shorter. If they eat three more meals a day, that's the saying, but they will eat the next meal before digestion, so they usually eat two meals a day.

The heating method in Northeast China is Kang. When cooking, most people burn more firewood to keep warm, so the indoor temperature will rise. However, if it is only stir-frying, the kang has not yet started, and the fire will go out when it is heated, so it is generally mainly stewed in a large pot.

After stewing a large pot of vegetables, the whole family was full and the kang was hot. The weight of this cauldron must be enough. Because a family can only eat one dish. So the amount of food is very large, and it continues. Whether it's eating at ordinary times or Chinese New Year, it's also a dish with great weight.

It is because of the northeast people's character that they are very heroic, if the food is small. When serving food to guests, it takes half to eat a few bites, and the rest of the guests are afraid to mention chopsticks, which also makes people feel. I don't want to give it to my guests, so as long as the food is at the bottom (there are so few dishes on the plate that I can't see the end), my parents at home will bring the food to the basin, which is not only a large amount of food, but also a sufficient amount of food, and often there will be a lot of food left after each meal.

However, in the traditional concept of Northeast people, leftovers mean that they are cooked well and the guests eat well, and they can't see the bottom of the plate. If you see the bottom of the plate, it means that the food you prepared for the guests is too small to eat well, which is also related to the traditional valet culture.

Northeasters are sincere and won't make each other feel stingy, so they are generous in food culture. But in the eyes of southerners, Northeasters are wasteful and even a little silly and generous. Northeasters don't mind, one side supports the other.

Many restaurants in the northeast of China are characterized by their menu codes. Some restaurant plates can't be called plates, but pots! Yes, it's a plate the size of a small pot. Once it's served, southerners will lose their chins!

I'm a sister from Northeast China, and I'm currently working in Shenzhen. I'm afraid you can't appreciate the weight of Northeast cuisine in other places. You have to go to the northeast to verify it yourself. The authentic northeast cuisine there can be said to be the gospel of the big stomach king. Take braised pork as an example. Basically, a plate of braised pork in my hometown is 1.5 ~ 2 plates in Shenzhen, and the price is only 60 ~ 70% of that in Shenzhen.

Such a big pot of meat, 28 yuan. . .

I like to eat a table full of Northeast dishes (drooling) every day.

This is another braised pork I ate in my hometown.

Remember to learn to drive after graduating from high school. There is a snack bar nearby (in the northeast, smaller than the hotel), and I asked for fried noodles with sauerkraut at noon. After I made it, I saw a scene that I will never forget: I saw the boss buckle the plate directly on the Ma Shao (the cauldron of cooking), then turned the plate over by hand and buckled the whole dish with Ma Shao in the plate. This dish, don't say that I am a petite and lovely girl who weighs less than 100 Jin. I feel that four big men can't finish this dish. I thought it was a little expensive at that time. I can't eat such a big dish and I have to spend more money. The bill turned out to be 4 yuan. . .

Then why is the size of Northeast cuisine so big? There are two main reasons.

One is purely rigid demand. Northeasters are generally taller, and the proportion of food by weight is definitely higher. Moreover, the latitude in the northeast is high and it is particularly cold in winter. In order to resist the cold, everyone likes food with high calorie and large weight. Think about Germany, isn't it also beer sausage and pork elbow? The weight is amazing ~ so the northeast is very similar to Germany.

The other is caused by the culture and personality of the northeast people, and the menu code often reflects the hospitality of the northeast people. Northeasters are generous and generous, and they must not be stingy with their guests, otherwise they will easily be looked down upon. Cheap, this is definitely a serious injury in the northeast, and it is easy to be isolated. Therefore, in such a cultural atmosphere, the food culture that has been born is that the food code must be big. For a restaurant, whether the taste is good or not is a matter of level, but whether the menu is large or not is definitely a matter of attitude. If the menu is too small, it will be considered unrealistic to do business. Therefore, friends who come to the northeast to do catering business should also pay attention to this.

Hello, everyone, I have lived in the Northeast for many years, and the food is really big. In view of this problem, say my opinion.

I am a foreigner. I have been in the northeast since I went to college, and I have been married 10 for many years now. My first impression of the northeast is that the northeast people are generous and generous.

The expression of frank people is also very direct and affordable. They are afraid that you won't have enough to eat, so every dish is bigger. Therefore, whether you go to a guest's house in the northeast or a restaurant in the northeast, you will find a large amount of food.

Every time my husband and I go back to my mother-in-law's house, even if we tell her in advance that we can't eat more and cook less, we will find a table full when we go home, always saying that we can take it away if we haven't finished eating.

Generally, the main course in Northeast China is stew. This cooking method generally requires a larger pot, so I think the amount of food is relatively large. The famous dishes in Northeast China, such as sauce elbow and sauce bone, are all very big, so they won't look small when served.

The northeast is cold in winter, so it needs more calories to keep warm, so the food intake is relatively large, and the food intake will naturally be large. Northeast cuisine has a certain degree of oil, which I personally think has something to do with it. What impressed me most was that I just came here from college. I found dinner richer than lunch. In my hometown, dinner was very light, and with heavy oil, I gained 10 Jin in one semester, which surprised my parents when I got home.

Northeast cuisine does not belong to the eight major cuisines. With Nurhachi's entry into the customs, Northeast cuisine has blended with the diets of many ethnic minorities. The heroic character of ethnic minorities has also influenced the characteristics of Northeast cuisine. Northeast cuisine does not stick to details, and strives to make you full and happy, so you eat a lot. Moreover, people in Northeast China usually eat meat, drink and talk about trivial things.

I am the second sister. Let me answer why the amount of food in Northeast China is so large.

Second sister is also from the north. No matter whether she eats at home or in the Northeast Hotel, the dishes in the Northeast are all full of plates. I think the most obvious manifestation is that the plates for rice and vegetables are particularly large. Therefore, if a table of delicious food in other places can serve more than a dozen dishes, then for Northeast cuisine, seven or eight dishes have already occupied the whole table.

For example, the second sister is familiar with the iron pot stewed fish. Five or six people can sit around a big iron pot. Two Qingjiang fish or grass carp, with pot stickers, are guaranteed to let you hold the wall in and out. You may think that the amount of these dishes is how to eat it. In fact, my second sister told you that this situation is really common.

So why is the portion of Northeast cuisine so large? Second sister thinks there are several reasons, so let's talk about them.

1, the reason for the height and weight of the northeast people.

Second sister, ask everyone, do you feel that the northeast people have grown taller? Compared with the south, the northeast people give the impression of being tall, strong and strong. Therefore, compared with people in other places, people in Northeast China seem to be a big circle. It must be tall, so it's heavy. So I eat more, the dishes in a small bowl can't meet the needs, and the dishes in a big bowl are more affordable. Otherwise, let's think about it. If the food is not enough, how many bowls of food are enough? So it is better to serve a large portion of food directly to make people eat more comfortably.

2. it is related to the character of the northeast people.

Northeasters are more loyal, and they like the feeling of sureness and truth. Second sister gives two examples.

The first rule is: when you invite people to dinner at home, you must satisfy the guests. This also shows that they are popular. Otherwise, they will not have enough to eat and drink. How can you make people feel that you welcome people to your home? Therefore, the large quantity reflects a warm attitude and shows the host's welcome to the guests.

The second one is: If you go to a restaurant and the same food is delicious in large quantities, then this restaurant will definitely be popular in the Northeast. A large quantity is enough, which reflects the reality of doing business and the attitude towards guests. So if you put a bunch of good dishes on a big plate at this time, everyone will be in a good mood.

3. Northeastern habits

When cooking in the northeast, have you ever seen someone use a big basin to hold vegetables? Actually, second sister told you, it's quite a lot. I think the reason why I cook so many dishes is also because people in the northeast are used to cooking a large pot of vegetables. If you can't finish the meal, you can heat it up and continue eating. This habit has been handed down for a long time, so it has been preserved until now.

The above reasons summarized by the second sister also explain why Northeast cuisine is so full. So don't be surprised if you go to northeast restaurants all over the country and see a big pot of pork-killing vegetables or stewed fish in a big iron pot, or even a large plate of colorful fish. Second sister thinks this is a very common thing.

Second sister recommends you to eat fish or chicken in pot, which tastes different from that cooked at home. Moreover, the authentic braised chicken is stewed with firewood, so whether it is fish or duck, it will make the meat not tight and delicious. Plus, there is a circle of pot stickers around the edge of the iron pot, which really has a special flavor!

Dude, the plate is too small to eat!

I'm from the northeast, and I have a say.

There are four reasons for the Northeast Plate.

First, people in the northeast eat more. It is cold in the northeast, so if you eat less, you won't keep out the cold. You have to eat more. I am a non-manual worker. Every time you want takeout, you have to eat twice. People thought I had two people to eat, so they gave me two pairs of chopsticks directly. Actually, I eat alone. (Oh, isn't this a fool? )

Second, the northeast is rich in products. Especially the food supply is sufficient. In the era of crossing the border, many people in Guanli found a lot of things here and finally dared to eat a lot. They dare not eat casually in their hometown, so they have to scrimp and save. My hometown is Dongping, Shandong. According to my parents, there was a jingle in Dongping at that time called tung ping chau and tung ping chau. They didn't accept it for ten years, but they ate Kyushu. It shows how difficult the conditions were at that time. It is not that Dongping has a good harvest and can eat for nine years a year, but that it can only be saved for nine years. In the northeast, I found that I don't need to save so much, but I can bear hardships, no problem.

Because the products are rich and the people in Northeast China are generous, this is the third reason. We have something at home, and we are not afraid to eat it. Can't eat. Especially when there are guests, I am afraid of being stingy. How can Northeasters pay attention to these things? Let you eat. Shut your mouth.

In the past, there was a saying in Northeast China that roe deer was beaten with a stick, fish was fished with a spoon, and pheasants flew into electric cookers. It's too easy to eat some game. Mushrooms, hazelnuts, pine nuts and walnuts are everywhere in autumn. Wild vegetables in spring and summer. Dig a piece of land on the mountain and grow something to eat for a year.

When I was a child, I went to dig a small piece of land on the mountain not far from the city with my father. I was reluctant at the time. As a child growing up in the city, what kind of land did I cross? Moreover, at that time, I was not sensible and felt that farming was a very shameful thing. But it was hard to disobey his father's life, so he followed his old man up the mountain. The baby I grew up in this city is really useless. I was tired after a while with a pickaxe. I was seventeen years old that year. I was thin. His height is 1 m 72 and his weight is only 108 kg. And my father, who is in his sixties, has been planning there. Scold me as a loser while planing. Say that I am young and not as good as an old man. We have planned about two or three hundred square meters to grow soybeans. Usually my father takes me to remove weeds, in autumn. We harvested more than half of the sacks of soybeans, 100 kilograms. People are really strange, and I am very happy to see the goods I received. At that time, my parents explained that they would continue planting in the next year. We planted it for another year, but we didn't plant it later because we didn't have time.

You see, it's too easy to get something to eat in the northeast. With food, you are not afraid of anything.

Fourth, the climate. It is well known that winter in Northeast China is very cold, but it seems not as cold as before. It's seldom MINUS 30 degrees in winter, usually at 15 and 16 degrees in the daytime, and it's 27 or 8 degrees in the coldest night, to about 30 degrees. And only ten days. At least the city I live in now is like this, but it used to be much colder than this. 30 degrees below zero is very common. Therefore, eating less really can't keep out the cold. We need a lot of energy to fight against the cold.

This has been a habit for many years, so our food is particularly large.

Come to the northeast, and I'll treat you to Northeast food. That's enough. But death is no good.

Hotels in the northeast are all big plates. This is related to the living habits of the northeast people. Northeasters, especially men, rarely eat snacks, and they all eat at fixed points. Some people do manual work and eat a lot. Even if you eat at home, you usually eat a lot. Hotels in the northeast, especially in the suburbs of cities, are generally 10 inch and 12 inch slabs. Some restaurants are more practical. When ordering, you will be reminded not to order too much or eat too much.

I remember that more than ten years ago, the four of us drove from Shenyang to Harbin and had lunch in Halaha Town. When you enter the restaurant to order, the waiter reminds four people that two dishes and one soup will do. As a result, we ordered braised crucian carp, fried pork slices and vegetarian soup. We left half of these dishes, so we packed them and took them away, and we didn't eat them at night.

This is the northeast characteristic, the boldness of the northeast people, and the reality of the northeast people.

The weight of northeast dishes-only dare to order 0.5 portions.

This is what I remember.

The taste of youth

The first time I went to the northeast, I went to Changchun.

A person, 25 years old, on a business trip.

I went in winter.

Because there is no money to buy a thick down jacket ~ the salary is low ~

I took a taxi directly to the hotel at the airport and didn't touch the cold air ~ the company reimbursed me.

In the restaurant of the hotel, I ordered two dishes, half of each, and gave a soup.

?

I haven't been to the northeast, and I don't know how much northeast food costs! Because the northeast dishes outside the northeast are too thin, although you feel that the dishes are heavy, the actual weight is much smaller than that in the northeast!

Why is the portion of Northeast cuisine so large? I think the most important reason is related to the face-saving thinking of the northeast people, followed by a large appetite and abundant local resources and cheap prices.

Anyone who has been to Northeast China knows that Northeasters love face very much, especially on the dining table and wine table. Every time they invite people to dinner, they don't consider the number of people, but whether the table is full or not and whether the dishes are stacked twice. In the eyes of the guests, if you order less, it means that the host doesn't pay enough attention and respect to himself, which is a very shameful thing. This meal must taste very unhappy! If you want to talk about things at the dinner table at this time, it's probably impossible. Maybe after a few drinks, you may quarrel or even fight. Therefore, the northeast people order food not for satiety, but for face! In fact, most of these dishes are inedible. Most of the time, just eat half of it and throw away the rest, which is quite wasteful in the eyes of southerners.

Whether it is a big hotel or a small restaurant, it is necessary to fill a table.

In the northeast, the amount of food is unimaginable to southerners. They use washbasins and large plates to hold food, and they should be full. I remember the first time I went to Harbin, I went to dinner with my colleagues who are both southerners, and ordered three dishes, thinking that they bought three dishes for two people. I didn't expect that when we served the first course, we were stupid and regretted it! This cauldron of pork-killing dishes is enough for us to eat three meals. When the dishes were finished, we suddenly felt guilty when we looked at these three pots of dishes. Why didn't the proprietress remind you when ordering just now? Too much leftovers will be wasted later! Later, I stayed in Harbin for a few more days before I realized that the food we ordered in the northeast seemed very cheap, and only southerners would order such a small amount of food.

Of course, Northeasters eat much more than Southerners, and eat for much longer than Southerners. As long as the wine is served, a meal can be eaten from noon to night, and after a long time, you will naturally eat much more. I remember the longest meal I had in Harbin was from morning 10 to evening 10. In fact, friends in Harbin treated us to three meals and changed to three restaurants, but I felt that I had a meal! Because in this 12 hour, except for one hour driving to find a hotel, we are drinking and eating all the time. During this 12 hour, we vomited while eating, and several friends who drank too much wine secretly went to the toilet to vomit several times. This is also the record of my first drinking and vomiting. After eating this meal, I felt uncomfortable in the dormitory for three days before I recovered my stomach. Although everyone didn't eat well, we all thanked the host for receiving us in this most grand way, and also thanked the host for his enthusiasm!

In the northeast, drinking in a big bowl and munching on vegetables is called heroism! Large quantity, big dining table, this is called atmosphere! Maybe that's why northeast food is so heavy.

Hello, I'm Brother Seven, and my answer is:

People all over the country know that the northeast likes to stew in a mess; People in Northeast China like to eat garlic, and people all over the world know it. Northeasters eat so much, why? People don't know this yet. Don't worry, don't worry, be patient and I'll give you a detailed answer.

First of all, the latitude is high here, and the sun sets fast and rises slowly. Especially in the cold winter, it doesn't start to dawn until noon, and it gets dark just after half in the afternoon, that is, at four or five o'clock. So everyone who has experienced it in the north knows that the proportion of daytime here is really too short, and time is not enough to squander. But why is this geographical knowledge mentioned here? what do you think? What shall we do at night? Sleeping, of course, isn't it? We sleep for three quarters of the 24 hours a day. There is not enough time to go to work during the day. But we have to meet our three meals in such a short time? Eating one meal for an hour, eating three meals for three hours is a naked waste. In order to solve this terrible luxury problem, the wise man came up with a way to reduce three meals to two, which can greatly save time. And how can two meals supplement the energy we need in a day? Thinking about it can only aggravate it. Eat more at a meal and you won't be hungry all day!

There is another reason that everyone knows. People here like stew when they eat. It tastes unique? No, no, no, this is due to environmental reasons and life reasons. Kang is an indispensable weapon for local people to keep warm, and it happens to be used for cooking. But when cooking, if you put less firewood and cook it, the fire will suddenly go out before the food is half cooked. Cooking is really difficult, let alone giving consideration to taste. It is cold in the north and consumes heat quickly. In order to solve this problem that puzzles most people, smart people here cook in the form of stew, stew more at a time, so that they can put more firewood and eat while stewing. But if it's just cooking, please think with your toes. Isn't it cold?

The last reason is related to humanity! People here are famous for their heroism. Every family must prepare enough dishes to show their infinite enthusiasm when entertaining guests. Because their tradition is like this, the preparation is relatively small, and guests who come to the bottom three or two times will feel embarrassed and have not fed others. In addition, their personality is sincere and frank, so the more the better, the more the better. Never be stingy with your weight.

Therefore, the clever northeast people simply cook cauldron dishes, which are only made because the cooking stove at home is connected to the hot kang to keep warm.

Since they are connected together, it is inevitable to put a cauldron on the stove.

What's more, people in Northeast China are cold all year round, so they must always heat the kang. In this way, the cauldron on the stove is empty. Anyway, it is better to cook more food in the cauldron, so that the family can keep warm and eat hot dishes. It is also a kind of happiness!

In addition, in the northeast, in addition to wheat pasta, vegetables were mainly cabbage, radish and potatoes, and they were eaten every meal.

When cooking in the northeast, people only know that they should eat these dishes for the next meal anyway, so they should simply cook more at a time, not to mention such a big hot pot.

Although there are no other dishes, even the poorest families have pigs. Therefore, the favorite dish of the northeast people is the northeast pig-killing dish, the most famous of which is stewed pork with vermicelli.

Because they eat a lot of food every day, most men in Northeast China are burly and obese.

Having said that, some people may say: Renye Fang likes to eat cauldron dishes with fire, but I just want to say: Because the temperature in the south is already very high, if it is a large amount of food, it will easily go bad if you can't finish it, so you can only cook side dishes.

Because the northeast is too cold, it will not go bad. Even if you can't finish eating a big pot, you can continue to eat at the next hot meal.

Of course, these big pots of rice used to be eaten like this, because now with the substantial improvement of living standards, air conditioning and heating are nothing, and there is no need to heat the hot kang connected to the stove at home.

Even so, Northeasters are used to cooking this kind of pot rice, so now as long as they see the Northeast Restaurant on the street, the business must be good.

Because people who have eaten it once will say that Northeast cuisine is delicious, especially simple pork stewed vermicelli, which is delicious and affordable, and there are many dishes;

And that kind of braised pork. Northeast restaurant, at least a dozen pieces of meat, local braised pork three or four pieces is good.
