I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

I often hear people around me say: "The banquet dishes in the countryside are particularly delicious, and there is a great atmosphere when eating them. Unlike the banquets in the city, they all taste almost the same, and the portions are small." Sister Xiaotao's grandmother's home is in the countryside, so she has many relatives in the countryside and has attended many weddings and funerals. Therefore, she is very familiar with the process of wedding and funeral banquets in the countryside.

When Xiao Tao was a child, she loved sitting at the same table with the elderly at banquets in the countryside. She could listen to their stories. The ways of the world and family matters were the most interesting topics.

As soon as the table opened, four cold dishes and four hot dishes were served. Sister Tao has a heart that wants to lose weight and a stomach that loves to eat. They compete with each other every day. I counted on my fingers and realized that my stomach won again today. A grand banquet in the countryside is also a reflection of the host's face. Whether it is the choice of ingredients or the scale of the banquet, it reflects the host's economic strength and social status. At the same time, a grand banquet is also a way for guests to give back to the host, reflecting interpersonal relationships and social etiquette.

The eight dishes are placed before the main course, including four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes. Nowadays, ten dishes are often used instead. They are divided into four cold dishes and four hot dishes. The cold dishes are basically mixed dishes, such as mixed vegetables and pork head. The hot dishes are mainly stir-fried dishes, such as Mushu pork, yuxiang shredded pork, and sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

At a banquet in the countryside, people always think that this is the last dish, but there is always another one. It feels like they repeat it 10 or 20 times in a meal. In fact, by the time everyone is halfway through the meal, they are already full. Hehe

Ten bowls refer to the ten large bowls of sixteen dishes, serving as the main course, accompanied by six smaller bowls, three sweet and three savory, interspersed between the ten large bowls. These ten bowls consist of: one large bowl of meat, two bowls of agar-agar, three bowls of chicken, four bowls of fish, one dim sum plate, five bowls of dumplings, six bowls of soup, seven bowls of rice balls, eight bowls of tripe, nine bowls of agar-agar, and ten bowls of meat. Compared to hotel banquets, I personally prefer rural feasts. Fellow villagers gather around a table, chatting about family matters, shouting here and there, creating a lively atmosphere that feels down-to-earth and resonates deeply with the heart.

Fried crispy pork, five-spice fried crispy pork, crispy pork bowl, spare ribs bowl, sweet potato bowl, meatball bowl, hot and sour tripe soup, slippery meat soup, crispy chicken drumstick, crispy Spanish mackerel, bok choy and squid soup, hot and sour pork soup, water shield and chicken soup, boiled meatball soup, fermented glutinous rice dumplings, crispy pork soup, horseweed soup

Sister Xiaoyu didn't expect that in the countryside, everyone would arrive earlier than the other for a banquet, and eating would be all about speed and liveliness.

The feasts in the countryside are still better! They're all cooked over firewood. Life is short, so have another bowl.

In rural areas, banquets are a form of feasting that is full of regional characteristics and a rustic atmosphere. Participants are all locals, and they are not restrained when they gather together. The purpose of a banquet is to eat, so everyone is relaxed. Hence, there is a saying in rural areas: "Eat one banquet, and you're full." Nowadays, banquets in cities are more like social events, with many people gathering together without knowing each other. Therefore, they tend to be more reserved at the table, which is why there are usually more leftovers at banquets in cities. Why are rural banquets more delicious than home-cooked ones? First, the professionalism of rural banquets. The chefs at rural banquets rely on their skills to make a living, while those at home are amateurs. There's a saying: "Don't compare your hobby with someone else's profession." This is exactly the reason.

A chef friend of mine who specializes in rural banquets once shared the secrets to a good rural banquet: First, serve the spicy, mouth-watering dishes first; second, the saltier dishes second; and third, finish with a broth. Because the spiciness makes it hard to open your mouth, you can't tell the saltiness of the dishes, and by the end, when the aftertaste has settled, the broth is just the right palate cleanser. This is a lesson learned from experience. Second, the atmosphere of a rural banquet. In rural areas, banquets are often given as gifts, so many people attend with the goal of making a profit. As a result, everyone is eager to eat as soon as the dishes are served, and this atmosphere encourages everyone to eat more.

Rural banquets are a common form of banquet in rural areas across China. Banquets in different regions have their own unique flavors and characteristics. For example, pork is the main dish in the north, while seafood is the main dish in the south.

The dishes at banquets in various places cover almost all the local specialties, becoming an important way to experience local customs and culture.

The ingredients for rural banquets are mostly grown or raised at home, so they are fresh and pollution-free, ensuring the taste and quality of the dishes.

This selection of purely natural ingredients makes the dishes at rural banquets more delicious and healthier.

Most of the dishes at rural banquets are cooked using traditional methods, such as stewing in a large pot. This method not only preserves the original flavor of the ingredients, but also makes the dishes easier to digest.

Traditional cooking skills have been well inherited and displayed in rural banquets.

Although the cooking and dining environment of rural banquets is relatively simple, the organizers are very particular about hygiene, such as the tables, chairs and benches are polished to a shine, and the bowls, chopsticks and plates are washed clean.

This emphasis on hygiene allows rural banquets to maintain their traditional flavor while ensuring the safety of diners.

A rural banquet is not just about eating, it is also a big party for the whole village. Everyone sits together, talking and laughing, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere is very harmonious and joyful.

This joyful dining atmosphere not only makes people happy, but also promotes digestion, making rural banquets a unique way of socializing.

Rural banquets are extremely cost-effective. You can have more than a dozen dishes for just a few hundred yuan, and the quality and taste of the dishes are no less than those in city restaurants.

This high cost-effectiveness makes Rural Banquet a popular choice for many people, especially for those who want to experience authentic rural flavors.

Cultural inheritance and display

Rural banquets are an important part of rural culture, carrying the history, traditions and customs of the countryside.

By eating a big banquet, people can gain a deeper understanding of rural culture and feel the charm of the countryside.

Social and emotional communication

Rural banquets are occasions for villagers to help each other and communicate with each other, which strengthens the connections and friendships among villagers.

At large banquets, people can share their lives and experiences, fostering understanding and trust, thereby promoting harmony and development in rural communities. The biggest eaters at rural large banquets are middle-aged women. Because they rarely drink alcohol, they eat quickly. If they start late, they might end up with nothing. This is a key characteristic of rural large banquets. Conclusion: Rural large banquets are lively and lively, which whets people's appetites. Furthermore, attendees are familiar with each other, and since it's home turf, they're relaxed. The ingredients are also relatively fresh and green. Furthermore, the chefs at large banquets are more familiar with local tastes and are willing to use richer ingredients. Therefore, it's not surprising that the food is more fragrant than home cooking.

From the time Xiao Tao was reborn until she committed suicide, she had never seen her cousin's house. Perhaps she was still intoxicated by the sweet words of the scumbag at the time and didn't care about these things. Just think about it, she gave up because of emotional frustration. What a blow it must have been to her parents and grandparents.

After I go back, I really need to pay more attention to my parents and never let them down again.
