What are the etiquette requirements at the banquet?

Shandong people are famous for their delicious food. However, as a Shandong native, after wandering around the wine table for more than ten years, I found that Shandong people are not as good as Mongols in alcohol consumption and the intensity of drinking is not as good as that of Northeast people. But Shandong people have many customs and manners on the wine table, and there are many ways to drink. These things are mixed, some enhance the atmosphere, and some are disgusting. Let me tell you one or two things here.

First, sit down. Shandong has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and the distinction between host and guest, young and old on the wine table cannot be sloppy. On the wine table, the position of the door is usually the owner or the owner (that is, the person who pays the bill and treats the guests), and the wine table is sometimes dubbed as the "manor owner";

In the position opposite him, the host came to entertain the guests together, called "the main escort". The names of these two locations vary from place to place, but their meanings are similar.

If friends from other places can't figure out why, I'll tell you a simple method: just look at the folding method of napkins in cups on the table. The folding methods of napkins in these two positions are different. The host's napkin is usually folded into a cylinder and inserted into the cup. The host's napkin folded into a fan. Napkins are usually three-fold petal-shaped in their position. The layout of the whole napkin is a bit like a phoenix spreading its wings. When these two seats are reserved, other positions will be determined. Sitting on the host's left is the "guest of honor" and on the right is the "guest of honor"; Correspondingly, the guest on the left is called "deputy guest", and the guest on the right is called "deputy guest", but more is called "escort". In the rest of the seats, the host and guests can sit at will. These people are nicknamed "no three no four" on the wine table, because there is no distinction between "three guests" and "four escorts" on the wine table.

After the host and guests were seated, they began to pour wine. Shandong people like to drink, especially in big bowls. This seems to have the legacy of Liangshan heroes. Although there is no need for a big bowl or a small cup now. If you see Shandongese drinking with small glasses in San Qian in movies or TV series, it's sheer nonsense. At present, the standard cups in Shandong Province are three-two-three-high cups (it is impossible to prove who is the first to be popular, but a bottle of white wine can just pour three cups). Wine is generally white wine, and the degree is generally around 38 degrees (Shandong people don't like to drink high-alcohol very much). Of course, you can also drink beer, but it is generally converted according to the ratio of liquor and beer +0: 6.

After taking a seat, everyone fills such a cup first, which is called the front cup. It means to clean your own snow. This glass of wine is a must for everyone present. Not drinking is disrespectful to the host or the host. Of course, the host will lead everyone to drink this first glass of wine. Generally, the host should have an opening speech, be polite and then set a standard. In other words, this glass of wine should be finished several times. It is usually six times, which is called "six times". The meaning of "qi" includes the meaning of "developed" and is auspicious. In this way, under the leadership of the host, everyone can drink, eat and chat. This wine usually doesn't touch the glass. Shandong people call it "clinking glasses doesn't count." But when you hold up a cup, you can click on the table and call it "over-electricity". In restaurants, you can often hear the ping-pong of glasses hitting the table. The wine table was dubbed "Beggars' Meeting".

When the host leads everyone to finish this cup, it's the host's turn to speak. It is also a ceremony, and it is also to lead everyone to drink a glass of wine. Under normal circumstances, two glasses of wine are more than half a catty, the host and guest are flushed, and the clouds are rising at their feet. At this time, the host announced that the ceremony was over and everyone could move freely. Note that this free activity doesn't really let you go out to sober up, but you can drink alone with anyone, you can drink more or less, and there is no limit. Generally, at this time, guests should thank their hosts for their hospitality. Generally, the first round is the guest and host, the second round is the guest and host, and so on. This period is the most active time on the wine table, which can bring the relationship between host and guest closer at once. But this time is often a headache. Because there is already half a catty of white wine at this time, there are still many tricks to persuade wine, which is particularly easy to get drunk.

For example, there is a bottle-catching game in the banquet hall, which I hate. That is, each player has a bundle of beer (10 bottle) and there is a bottle in the middle of the table. Participants are not allowed to touch the bottle in the middle of the table until they have finished drinking a bundle of beer. When you finish your beer, grab the beer in the middle first and then drink it. Old fox has only played this game three times, 2 wins/kloc-0 losses. Don't mention how uncomfortable it was the next day. There is also a drinking day, which is one year 12 months. Be sure to set a memorable day, otherwise you will drink and others will drink. 10 Before this month, people often started talking nonsense.

Generally, Shandong people treat you, and there must be fish on the wine table. Fish is a "big dish" in Shandong, and it is called "big dish" on the wine table. Don't look at delicacies, compared with fish, they can only be called "side dishes". It's not that Shandong people are rare for fish. It's mainly good luck, "more than a year". Generally, when fish is served, the fish head rushes to the guest to show respect for the guest. At this time, guests should drink fish head wine, and people with tails should drink fish tail wine, which is generally "three tails and four tails", and then everyone will eat fish together. The remaining fishbone is generally not removed. When the host asked them to take it away and cook a soup with them, he was actually saying: the party is almost over, it's time to end. The soup made of fish bones is called "miscellaneous fish soup", which means adding fish bones and broken fish to the soup, adding pepper and vinegar to stew. It's delicious. Friends who haven't drunk it can make it themselves and taste it. Delicious and not wasteful. The soup came, everyone drank the wine in the goblet and ate it, and then the feast was over.
