Miao people are used to inviting guests to drink croissants. What's the point?

There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each ethnic group has its own unique customs. These customs not only have their own characteristics, but also reflect the history and culture of each region. They have evolved through long-term habits and have a very strong historical and cultural color. It is also their custom for Miao people to treat their guests to croissants in this area, showing respect for their distinguished guests. Horn wine, also called "roadblock wine", is a way for them to express their enthusiasm.

The custom of Miao village is to entertain guests with wine. When you first enter the village, you will encounter alcohol blocking the road. There are many grand wines blocking the road. If you are not an alcoholic, remember not to pick up the croissant with your hands, just stretch your neck and take a sip. As long as you pick it up by hand, the tourists will dry up the whole wine. Miao people think that the more they drink, the more they will give their host family face, so when they visit Miao village, they usually drink.

Miao people attach great importance to etiquette. When guests visit, they will kill chickens and ducks to entertain guests. If you are a distinguished guest from afar, the Miao people are used to inviting guests to drink croissant first. When eating chicken, the head of the chicken should be given to the older guests, and the drumsticks should be given to the youngest guests. In some places, there is also the custom of dividing the hearts of chickens, that is, the oldest owner in the family will share the hearts of chickens or ducks with chopsticks, and the hearts of chickens must be divided equally among the old people present.

In addition to fresh vegetables produced by Miao people, the most distinctive feature of Laicai is pickled hot and sour food, such as sauerkraut, sour soup, hot and sour seeds, Chili sauce and so on. The Miao family has always been hospitable. Guests always treat each other like wine and meat. Wine includes glutinous rice wine and corn wine, and meat includes pigs, cows, sheep, fish, chickens and ducks. It is not convenient to buy fish in Miaoxiang at ordinary times, so most people use special methods to pickle sour fish, sour meat and bacon for their guests.

Miao costumes are not exactly the same everywhere. Men usually wear cloth shorts, but Miao women generally pay attention to clothing, especially clothing, which is extremely exquisite and has many flowers. Some skirts have more than 40 layers, hence the name "pleated skirt". Miao nationality has a long history of brewing, and has a set of techniques from koji making, fermentation, distillation, blending and cellar storage. So, in fact, their roadblock wine can be said to be extremely unusual.
