A famous saying that you don't keep your hospitality.
When people in China invite them to dinner, they often ask for a table of dishes, seven bowls and eight bowls. As a result, more than half of them are left. First, China people are very hospitable, for fear that the guests will not eat well. If the guests eat all the food, they will be very unhappy and think that they have not served the guests well, so they would rather throw away the rest of the food. Second, I am not confident enough about myself, for fear that others will call me poor and stingy. In fact, this hospitality is also the product of thousands of years of culture in China. Once upon a time, the people of China were poor but hospitable. The host's psychology of entertaining guests is based on the premise that guests don't have enough to eat all the year round, so they must have money. For the host, a hearty meal is also a face, which shows that he is generous and has good economic conditions. Some owners put a layer of braised pork on braised radish to show off, pretending to be a bowl of meat; Some owners turn over the fish they ate last time, put the unfinished side up and put it into a complete fish; When eating noodles or vermicelli, if there are two eggs in it, be sure to leave one in it. If there is only one, it is best to stay, because the children of the host family may be waiting for this egg; Some scrambled eggs, adding crushed steamed bread to eggs to pretend to be eggs; In some places, decorative fake dishes are simply popular, that is, fish are carved from wood and then colored, which is very realistic. Guests know very well that they generally don't eat more, just move a few chopsticks gracefully to avoid exposing their host's family and losing face. If the host family is financially decent, the guests must be well-fed and satisfied. Even so, guests should not eat all the food, which will make the host feel uneasy and think that the food is insufficient and the guests are not eating well. In fact, this hospitality habit of China people is not good at all. In this regard, we should learn from western hospitality. The most advanced banquet in the west has only four courses, including soup. Usually there's nothing left. Those big capitalists and politicians will use bread to clean up the spilled egg yolk, and nothing will be wasted. They have this confidence and are not afraid of being called poor. Now China's economy has developed, living conditions have improved, and the problem of food and clothing has been solved. Then we should also have this confidence. Don't be afraid of what others say or that you are poor. Whether you are poor or not is not reflected by the amount of food. China is an economical society. What this saves is wealth. No one will say you are poor.
