Details Of Hidden Rules In China's Dinner Party

stay

Generally speaking, the seat is "Zun Zun Dong" and "facing the gate to respect".

If the round table is on the main gate of the gate, the location of the host and guest is on the left and right side. The distance from the subject and the guest is closer to the host and guest. The same distance is left on the right side.

If it is a table for eight immortals, if there is a seat that is facing the gate, then the right side of the gate side will be the guest.

If the door is not right, the right side of the east side is the chief.

If it is a feast, the arrangement between the table and the table should be in the middle of the chief residence, the 2, 4 and 6 seats on the left, and 3, 5, 7 seats on the right.

If you are the host, you should arrive in advance, then wait at the door, and take seats for the guests.

If you are invited, you should listen to your host's safety.

Generally speaking, if your boss is present, you should bring the boss to the main seat, and ask the client to sit on the left side of the main seat at the highest level.

Unless the leadership of this guest is very high.

If time permits, you should wait for most guests to arrive, then pass the menu to guests and ask them to order.

Of course, as a public banquet, you will worry about budget problems. Therefore, to control the budget, the most important thing for you is to do more homework before meals. It is more important to choose the right place to invite guests, so that the guests can understand your budget well.

Generally speaking, if you pay the bill, the guests are not too comfortable to order. They will let you decide.

If your boss is at the banquet, don't ask him or her to order because he respects him, or thinks he has enough experience and feast, unless he or she asks for it.

Otherwise, he will feel inadequate.

If you are a banquet, you should know that you should not be too active in ordering, but let the host order.

If the other party is very demanding, you can order a dish that is not too expensive and not everyone's food.

Remember to ask people on the table for advice, especially asking "what are not eating?" or "what do you like to eat?" so that everyone feels taken care of.

After ordering, you can ask, "I ordered dishes, I don't know if I agree with a few tastes", "do you want something else" and so on?

When ordering, you must have a good idea.

When ordering, you can see the composition of personnel according to the following three rules.

Generally speaking, per capita food is a general rule.

If there are more men's meals, they can be added appropriately.

Two look at the cuisine mix.

Generally speaking, the best thing for a table is to have meat and vegetables.

If there are more men on the table, you can have more meat dishes. If you have more women, you can have more light vegetables.

Three look at the importance of banquets.

If an ordinary business banquet is served, the average price will be between 50 yuan and 80 yuan.

If the object of this dinner is a key person, then the main points are a few enough dishes, such as lobster, saury, shad, and then specifications, abalone, fins and so on.

Another point to note is that you shouldn't ask the waiter for the price of a dish or haggle over the price when ordering dishes, which will make your company look a little small in front of customers, and customers will feel uncomfortable.

A standard Chinese meal usually starts with cold dishes, followed by stir fry, followed by the main course, and then refreshments and soup. If you feel a little greasy, you can order some dessert, and finally the fruit tray.

In order to take orders, we should take into account the dishes of different procedures.

Preferred dishes

1. Dishes with Chinese characteristics.

When we entertain foreign guests, we should pay more attention to this.

Such as fried spring rolls, boiled yuanxiao, steamed dumplings, lion heads, and kung pao chicken are not delicacies, but because of their distinctive Chinese characteristics, they are highly praised by many foreigners.

Two, local cuisine.

For example, Xi'an's mutton steamed bun, Hunan's Mao Jia braised pork, Shanghai's braised lion's head and Beijing's instant boiled mutton, where the banquet of foreign guests, these special dishes, I am afraid more than a uniform seafood.

Three, the specialty of this restaurant.

Many restaurants have their own specialties.

The last special dish in this restaurant shows the owner's care and respect for the invited.

When arranging menu, guests' taboos must also be taken into consideration, especially the dietary taboos of the guests.

1. religious taboos can not be negligent at all.

For example, Muslims usually do not eat pork and do not drink.

Domestic Buddhists eat less meat and meat. They not only refer to meat, but also include pungent food such as scallion, garlic, leek and mustard.

Some Guanyin Buddhists are particularly forbidden to eat beef in their diet, especially when they want to entertain Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese compatriots.

2. for health reasons, there are taboos for certain foods.

For example, people with heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, hypertension and sequela of stroke are not suitable for eating dog meat. Hepatitis patients do not eat mutton and soft shelled turtle. Gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer Decoction and other digestive system diseases are not suitable for eating turtle.

3. people in different regions tend to have different dietary preferences.

For this, we need to take account of the arrangement of menus.

For example, people in Hunan Province generally like spicy food and less sweets.

In Britain and America, people usually don't eat pets, rare animals, animal viscera, animals' heads and claws.

In addition, when the foreign guests are invited to dinner, try to minimize the number of dishes that are hard to eat. Foreigners are not likely to throw food out of their mouths during meals.

4. some professions, for some reason, often have different taboos in catering.

For example, the state civil servants are not allowed to eat when performing official duties. They are not allowed to eat or drink in public banquets. They must not exceed the standard meals prescribed by the state and are not allowed to drink strong spirits.

Again, drivers should not drink during their working hours.

If we ignore this, we may make the other party make mistakes.

3 - eating vegetables

Chinese people are very particular about eating, and they are also very particular about eating.

With workplace etiquette getting more and more attention, eating and eating at business tables is also more particular.

Let's take Chinese food as an example to show you how to be polite and courteous on the table.

At the beginning of the Chinese banquet, the first wet towel towed by the waiter was to wipe his hands, not to wipe his face with it.

When the lobster, chicken and fruit are served, a small water Mencius will be sent, with lemon slices or rose petals floating. It is not a drink but a hand washing.

When you wash your hands, you can wet your fingers in both hands, gently rinse and dry with a small towel.

Attention should be paid to civility and courtesy when eating.

Don't repeat the dishes to the foreign guests. You can tell the other side about the characteristics of Chinese food and not eat them.

Some people like to advise others, or even serve vegetables for each other.

Foreign guests do not have this habit. If you are polite again and again, you may be disgusted with others: "what do you want me to do if you have not eaten?"

If you wait for others to serve your own dishes, you will have to stomach.

Do not start feeding immediately after the guests are seated.

But when the host greets, the host can raise the glass to start, the guest can start; the guest can not grab in front of the owner.

The dishes should be civilized. When the dishes are turned to their own faces, they should move the chopsticks instead of grabbing them in front of their neighbors.

To chew slowly, this is not only conducive to digestion, but also the etiquette requirements on the table.

You mustn't stick it in your mouth and devour it. This will leave a greedy impression on you.

Don't be picky eaters, don't just watch your favorite food, or hurry up with your favorite dishes on your plate.

The meal should be gentle and elegant. If you don't touch your neighbor, don't put the dishes on the table. Don't spill the soup.

Do not make unnecessary noises, such as "gurgling" when eating soup, and "mouthing" when eating dishes, which are vulgar expressions.

Do not eat while chatting with others.

Don't spit on the table, use a napkin to cover your mouth, use chopsticks to get it out and put it in the dish.

Don't eat anything on the table.

Don't play with the bowl or chopsticks, or use chopsticks straight to others.

Don't use your hands to pick your mouth.

When using a toothpick to remove your teeth, use your hand or napkin to cover your mouth.

Don't let the dishes make any noise.

After the meal is finished, you can wipe your mouth with napkins, napkins or small towels sent by the waiter, but not to wipe your head or breast. After meals, do not belch or belch without control.

As the saying goes, wine is thicker and thicker, but there are also a lot of knowledge about wine table. Here are some small details that you have to pay attention to on the wine table.

First, leaders should drink to each other before they finish drinking.

Toast must stand up and raise your glasses.

Details two: you can be respected by many people. You must not respect many people unless you are the leader.

Details three: respect others, if you do not clink glasses, how much you drink depends on the circumstances, such as the amount of alcohol consumed by the other party, the drinker's attitude should not be less than that of the other person.

Details four: respect others, if you clink glasses, one sentence, I finish drinking, you are free to show great generosity.

Details five: remember to add wine to leaders or customers. Do not blindly give the leader a substitute for wine. That is to say, they should be substituted for the leader or the client, and pretend to be drinking because they want to drink instead of drinking wine for the leader.

For example, if a leader is not capable of drinking, he can intercept people who are prepared to lead the armour by beating around the bush.

Details six: hold up a glass (beer cup), right hand cup, left hand cup bottom, remember that your cup is always lower than others.

If you are a leader, you should not be too low, or else how do you call the next person?

Details seven: if there are no special characters present, touch the wine preferably in a clockwise order.

Details eight: touch glasses, toast, have to say words, otherwise, why do I TMD drink your wine?

Details nine: no business on the desktop. If you drink well, your business will be almost the same. Everyone will know clearly, otherwise people will not drink with you.

Details ten: if, purely, if the wine is not enough, the wine bottle is placed in the middle of the table, so that people can add it to themselves. Do not dump the wine in a single way, or else the people behind will not have the wine.

About toast 1, the host respects the guest.

2, accompany guests to honor guests.

3, guest of honor return.

4, accompany each other.

Remember, guests must not be noisy and toast. It is impolite and disrespectful to their masters.

The inverted tea knowledge here is not only suitable for customers to visit the company, but also for business dining tables.

First, the tea set should be clean.

After the guests enter the room, let them sit first and prepare the tea.

Before the tea is washed, it is necessary to wash the tea set, especially if the tea set is not used for a long time, it will be stained with dust and dirt.

Before boiling tea and pouring tea, you should scald teapots and cups with boiling water.

In this way, it is both hygienic and polite.

It is impolite to pour tea on guests if they are not clean and unclean.

People are nauseous when they see the stains on the teapot and teacup. Why are they willing to drink your tea? Nowadays, most of the companies are disposable cups. Before pouring tea, they should pay attention to putting cups on the disposable cups, so as not to be hot and hot, so that the guests can not drink cups of tea for a while.

Secondly, tea should be in moderation.

First speaking of tea, generally appropriate.

Tea should not be too much, nor should it be too few.

Too much tea, too strong tea, too little tea leaves no smell.

If the guest voluntarily introduces his habit of drinking strong tea or weak tea, then wash the tea according to the mouth and stomach of the guests.

Besides, pour tea, no matter whether it is large or small, is not too full, too full and easy to overflow, and wet the table, stool, and floor.

If you are careless, you will burn yourself or your guests' hands and feet, so that the guests and guests will be embarrassed.

Of course, it should not be too small.

If the tea is only covered by the bottom of the cup, it will be presented to the guests. It will make people feel like they are acting, not sincere.

Once again, tea must be served.

In accordance with the traditional custom of our people, tea is served with both hands as long as both hands are not disabled.

But now some young people do not understand this rule. They pass the tea to the guest with one hand.

You should also pay attention to your hands. For a cup with ears, you usually hold the ear with one hand, and the other hand holds the bottom of the cup, giving the tea to the guest.

No cup of tea after the cup full of hot tea, hands are not close enough, some comrades no matter 37 twenty-one, with five fingers pinch the edge of the cup to the guests in front of the delivery.

Although this method of tea stopping can prevent scald accidents, it is very unsightly and not sanitary enough.

Please imagine, let the guest's mouth lick the master's finger marks, will it be ok? Add tea.

If you need tea in the cups of your boss and customers, you must be obliged to do so.

You can ask the waiter to add tea, or let the waiter leave the teapot on the table, and you can add it yourself. It's the best way to hide when you don't know what to say.

Of course, when you add tea, you should first add tea to your boss and customers, and finally add it to yourself.

The time of general reception and tea party is very long, about two hours or more.

Maybe after a few laps and a few people, you quickly want to leave.

At this time, you can't fail to understand some skills that you have left halfway.

A popular banquet was in full swing when people wanted to leave, which led to the result of the crowd's rush.

To avoid the consequences of this kind of scenery, when you want to leave halfway, do not say goodbye to everyone in the circle. Just greet two or three people around you and leave.

When you leave the reception, you must explain and apologize to the owner who invited you.

If you greet your host, you should go right away. Don't hold your master talking at the gate.

Because there are many other things to do on the same day, there are still many guests waiting for him to greet her. You take up too much time of the host and will cause him (her) to be rude to other guests.

Some people attend a reception or tea party. When they are about to leave, they will ask each person she wants to know whether they want to leave together.

As a result, she was so excited that the scene was so early that she left the scene in advance.

It is the most difficult thing for a banquet master to understand this kind of scene. A man of grace must not make such a mistake.

Alcohol can damage the liver, which is known to all, in order to minimize the damage of alcohol to the stomach and liver and reduce the occurrence of fatty liver.

Preparation work before wine is very important, which is the key factor to ensure you are not drunk at the table.

Before you go to dinner, eat something at home, so that you have something in your stomach.

What do you want to eat? Generally, it's better to eat high protein, such as eating two eggs, drinking milk, soya bean milk and so on, because these high protein foods can react with alcohol in the stomach, react and reduce the absorption of alcohol.

In addition, eating biscuits, cakes and so on can also make the stomach a little something, because drinking on an empty stomach, alcohol is easily absorbed in the stomach, resulting in easy to get drunk.

Be careful not to drink wine with salted fish, sausages and bacon, because such smoked foods contain a large amount of pigment and nitrosamines, which react with alcohol, not only injure the liver, but also damage the oral and esophageal mucosa, and even induce cancer.

In addition, people who regularly drink or often accompany wine can try some ancient books.

For example, in the "Ding Ding Ji" of the Qing Dynasty, the nameless group contained: "if the drinkers are not drunk, they will take a little bit of borax, and the decoction of" Yin Ge "and" Ge pill "are late.

Qianjin Fang: "the seventh day of the seventh day is to pick up the calamus.

The protection of drinking is "three times after wine, five dishes". This is the proverb of the wine field left behind in ancient times. It also illustrates the importance of eating vegetables when drinking.

Before drinking, try to take a la carte first and then drink again. The principle is the same as before.

It is strictly forbidden to drink on an empty stomach. It is easy to get drunk and easy to hurt the stomach.

Sobering up after drinking, after drinking, dizziness, headache, vomiting and even lack of consciousness, drunkenness suffers great pain. At this time, sober up is needed as soon as possible, so as to reduce the pain caused by drunkenness and prevent possible greater injury.

Here, I will teach you a few ways to sober up, which is simple and easy. The drinkers can choose their own methods according to their own circumstances.

Drink white radish juice: raw white radish, wash juice, slightly heating, each time a cup of tea, 10 minutes once, three times can solve the wine gas.

Eat cabbage heart: remove the cabbage heart shred, one is not enough to take two, add a small amount of white sugar and white vinegar mix after pickling for 35 minutes, this method quickly sober up.

In addition, how can we reduce the symptoms of headache, dizziness and nausea caused by drunkenness? Here are some foods.

Honey water for headache after drinking: honey contains a special fructose, which can promote the absorption and absorption of alcohol and relieve headache symptoms, especially the headache caused by red wine.

In addition, honey has hypnotic effect. It can make people fall asleep very quickly and will not have headache after getting up on the second day.

Tomato juice is used to treat dizziness after drinking: tomato juice is also rich in special fructose, which helps to promote alcohol decomposition. Drinking more than 300 milliliters at a time can make wine dizziness disappear gradually.

If you add a little salt before drinking, it will help stabilize your mood.

Fresh grapes treat nausea and nausea after drinking: if you eat before drinking, you can also effectively prevent drunkenness.

Grapefruit dispel alcohol in the mouth: Pomelo meat dipped in white sugar can help to eliminate alcohol in the mouth after drinking.

Celery juice is used to treat gastrointestinal discomfort and facial redness after drinking: This is because celery contains rich B vitamins, which can break down alcohol.

Yogurt can be used to relieve irritability after drinking: yogurt can protect gastric mucosa and delay alcohol absorption, especially calcium, which is especially effective in relieving irritability after drinking.

Bananas control palpitation and chest distress after drinking: eating 1 to 3 bananas after drinking can increase blood sugar concentration, reduce the proportion of alcohol in blood, and achieve the purpose of relieving alcoholism.

At the same time, it can reduce palpitation symptoms and eliminate chest depression.

Olive treats alcohol and anorexia: olive has been a good medicine for sobering up, clearing away stomach heat and promoting appetite since ancient times. It can be eaten directly and can also be served with icing sugar.

They all thought that tea could cure the wine, but they did not know it was "wasted" for many years. Li Shizhen, who was not drinking tea after drinking, recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica: after drinking tea, the kidney was injured, the waist and legs were weighed heavily, the bladder was cold and painful, and it was accompanied by phlegm and edema.

Modern medical research also pointed out that tea will stimulate gastric acid secretion, so that alcohol is more likely to damage the gastric mucosa; at the same time, theophylline in tea and alcohol can cause heart rate to accelerate and heavier the burden of the heart.

Sobering up drugs, there are many sobering drugs on the market, such as Hai Wang Jinzun, "Ke Bo Bo" capsule, "accompany wine teacher" tea, and a kind of ZEO imported from the United States. Are these drugs really effective? In the final analysis, the so-called drugs for sobering up are all through the following two ways to achieve sobering purpose: first, they can quickly decompose, make the alcohol lose efficacy, or block the absorption of alcohol in the stomach and intestines, and reduce the amount of alcohol into the blood, so that the purpose of sobering up naturally can also be achieved.

However, no matter what sobering drugs are, no matter how effective they are, they have some side effects and can not be eaten frequently, especially for those who often accompany wine or often need entertainment.

Generally do not eat, because even if you take medicine, alcohol or into the body, causing damage to the liver, the best is not to drink, must drink when, also first use other ways to sober up.

Drunk people often do not know their own behavior and can not take care of themselves. Then they must take good care of their relatives or friends.

1. if a drunken person is unstable in walking, he should be careful not to let him fall, to prevent injuries from falling, or to knock on important parts such as his head.

2. pay attention to keeping warm, because drunkenness decreases, so it is easy to catch cold at this time.

Let the drunk's head tilt to one side to prevent vomiting. If vomiting occurs, remove the vomit in the mouth and prevent it from entering the trachea, resulting in suffocation or lung infection.

3. if a person who is drunken is more serious and can not take sober products, he should vomit the contents of his stomach. He can use his fingers and cotton sticks to insert his throat to make him vomit.

If necessary, gastric lavage can be done with warm water or 2% sodium bicarbonate solution.

Those who are more serious will call 120 or send them to the hospital immediately.
