【Historical Live Broadcast】Watching videos and being seen by our ancestors

[Why do so few people get sick from eating at rural banquets when hygiene is so poor? ]

[I didn’t understand until later that the pigs were bled in the morning, the chickens were still running on the ground two hours ago, the meat dishes were still being eaten as vegetarian dishes a few hours ago, the oil used was peanuts from their own garden, the rice was the best in the house, and the greens were just picked from home, the freshness was second only to eating them raw.]

[The oldest products in the banquet are alcoholic beverages and drinks, which are absolutely not made with technology or hard work]

[Also, the one who picked the vegetables was my aunt, the one who cut the vegetables was my uncle, the one who served the dishes was my sister-in-law, and the chef was also the most famous in the village]

[Everyone has a clear division of labor, and there are many eyes watching you]

[If anyone dares to throw the meat that has fallen on the ground into the pot without washing it, he will be chased away at best, or beaten at worst]

[We are all from the same village, who dares to order us around with food?]

[If someone gets sick from eating at the banquet, the organizer will be unable to hold their heads up in the village.]

[The village’s intelligence network is as fast as 5G. I had a stomachache after lunch, and the news spread through the village in the afternoon.]

[The ingredients must not only be fresh and clean, but also be delicious. If they are not tasty, it will probably be brought up when the elders in the village gather together to chat.]

"Let me give you an example. In the villages near my hometown, only two or three people prepare banquets. The hot dishes are all prepared by the chef alone, while the aunties from the neighborhood are responsible for preparing cold dishes and washing vegetables. All the vegetables are bought the day before.

Then prepare whatever can be prepared before going to bed at night. If word gets out that someone in the family has a stomachache, it will be almost impossible for the chef to take on business in the surrounding area for five years.

But now I can rarely eat authentic banquets in my hometown [cry][cry], I miss the taste of my childhood so much."

"I always miss the crispy duck at the rural banquet. I feel it is even better than the roast duck at a star hotel [snickering] but it's not easy to get [crying]"

"The rural drama is good except that the environment is a little bit poor. But it is completely transparent, and the dishes are cooked in full view of the public. And as a guest, you can go over and check it out at any time, or even help in the cooking.

Such a transparent process, will there be a rat-headed duck left behind? "

"If we don't wash the vegetables cleanly in the countryside, we will be laughed at by dozens of uncles and aunts [laugh and cry][laugh and cry][laugh and cry]"

"Forty years ago, a couple in our village got married and burned the pot dry. The main dish was so burnt that it was inedible. The chef's team was disbanded right there. Last year, when his grandson got married, people kept complaining that he only had eight cold dishes for his wedding [吃瓜][吃瓜][吃瓜]"

"The big banquets in the countryside are all prepared in front of everyone. If the food is not clean once or if someone gets sick once, the banquet maker can forget about staying in the local area. No one will use it anymore."

"I love eating at the village banquets the most. Not only are they delicious, but they also fill you up. Most importantly, if you have a good relationship with the host, you can prepare an extra portion of something you like to eat and take it away. Really! You can eat and take away! And as long as it's not illegal, you can smoke, play cards, drink, or do anything. There are not so many restrictions and it's a festive atmosphere."

"My mom's godmother had a birthday party. My mom didn't have time, so I took my sister and me there. The food was really delicious. If they hadn't asked me to turn over and sit for a second round, I would have wanted to eat until the end of the banquet [thumbs-up]

The food in the city hotels is not as good as this one. Every dish is delicious. I have to take a bite of every dish. [Like] That was the first time I ate so much at a banquet."

People in the village: That's not the case! If word gets out that someone got sick from eating this, then the chef we hired won't have to work anymore. At least no one in the surrounding area will dare to hire him anymore. They can't afford to lose face!

However, let’s talk about the matter here, but why are the banquets in later generations so good?

There are fish and meat, but there are few vegetarian dishes. People will be greasy after eating so much. Can we earn back the money for the share?

You will lose a lot!

The host is really generous and you can tell at first glance that they are a good family. If a good daughter from that family marries into their family, she will be blessed!

If the man has good food, you can just marry him and enjoy a good life?

What's your logic?

That's right! If the people have good food, it means they are generous to the village. Then the daughter who marries into the village will surely have a good life of eating fish and meat every day. Isn't this a blessing?

That's not the case. Don't be generous to others but stingy at home. Aunt Wang from the next village, her family eats bran and vegetables at home every day. They are so pale and thin, like a bamboo pole, and they run out in the middle of the night to scare people to death!

And the cow in her family was so thin that only bones were left. It could not eat enough and was not starving to death. It could not even walk a few steps and needed someone to whip it from behind. It was a living torture every day!

But whenever there is a happy event in their family, there must be at least two meat dishes on each table. They themselves are reluctant to take a few chopsticks of the food and give it all to others, and all the fat and water goes into the stomachs of outsiders.

Alas, it is better to die with dignity than to suffer in life (??Benefit?)
