When it comes to drinking, Shandong dare not call itself the number one in the country, but when it comes to drinking table culture and rules, Shandong is unrivaled.
If you go to Shandong to visit relatives or visit, you happen to have a restaurant in the local area, you will deeply understand the drinking culture of Shandong, because for Shandong people, eating and drinking is not just about eating and drinking, but also a place where they talk about rituals, intercourse, business, and dreams, so they attach great importance to it.
I had the honor to have been to Shandong. At that time, I happened to go with my family not long after the Chinese New Year. Because there was a distant relative there, who wanted to visit and also went to Shandong for a trip, but when I arrived at his house, I was frightened by the numerous table etiquettes. The relative told me, "Don't panic, I came to Shandong at the time exactly like you, and I didn't know the etiquette at all, , but Shandong people are the most rule-based to drink. Know these three principles, and I will no longer be afraid of drinking in Shandong. "
The first principle: sit in the right position
Eating in Shandong is not the moment you serve, but start from when you sit down. This is not like sitting wherever you want to sit at home. If you sit in the wrong place, it will make the locals feel that you are not polite. Then everyone will definitely ask: "If you can't sit casually, where should you sit?"
There is a small mantra for you to remember, which is "don't sit facing the door, nor do you sit facing the door directly." Why do you say so? Take the common eight-seater wine table for example. Generally, the main companion is the initiator of the banquet, or the person who invites and pays the money. The deputy companion is the deputy companion directly opposite the main companion, and the deputy companion is the deputy companion. The main companion helps the main companion to liven up the atmosphere and serve everyone is mainly to accompany everyone to drink, so you can't be a deputy companion without a drink. So don't just sit in these two seats as soon as you come up, as they will make others laugh at them.
talks about the main position of the host house. Now it is time to talk about the main position of the guest. The first position on the right side of the host is the most important guest sitting, while the second important guest on the left side is the second important guest. Of course, important levels can also be arranged according to age. These four positions are the most important. The other random sitting problem is not very big.
The second principle: The order of toasts should be
After everyone sits in their respective positions, they will start pouring wine. Generally speaking, four dishes on the table will mean the banquet begins. Next, you will hear a large section of toasts, blessings, polite words, etc., but the first glass of wine is still very important. Usually, the host accompanying toasts first, and toasts three times. You must finish it in one sip when the first toast.
After the main companion toast, the deputy companion started to toast. At this time, the deputy companion needed to toast two glasses of wine, and drank it at one time in the second glass of wine to show respect for the guests. The last person to toast only needs to toast one glass of wine, but also needs to finish the wine. This is the famous 321 toast method in Shandong.
After mastering the toast method, it is time to start to appreciate the fine wine. This time I tasted two good wines at my relative's house. The first one is Laobaifen . The wine was stored for ten years before it was launched, so there is no need to say about the quality of the wine.
The second type is "Steaming Platform Kunsha Wine". I rarely heard of this wine in the past. It was my first time drinking it at a relative's house in Shandong. I was surprised when I saw its appearance. It looked very "burly" with other wines. After learning about it, I found that the volume of is actually 1,000 ml. No wonder it looks so large, twice that of other wines.
In addition to its appearance, its taste also surprised me. It is not like the wine quality of more than one hundred pieces. smells refreshing. You can taste the delicious food fragrance in a small sip. I don’t know if it was winter at that time, so it was very comfortable to drink it in the stomach.
The third principle: fish must have
Fish may not be anything compared to some delicacies, but in Shandong, if someone treats you, there must be fish at the dinner table. This is a big dish. Even if there are dishes that are more expensive than fish, it cannot compare to the level of fish in their hearts, because Shandong people think that fish has a good meaning, "there is surplus every year."
Moreover, the fish is placed in particular. The fish head must be directed at the guests, which shows respect for the guests. At this time, the guests must drink a glass of wine to respond, and the people sitting in the direction of the fish tail must also drink a glass of wine. After drinking, everyone will eat the fish together. When there are only bones left, they will continue to put it on the table first, and wait until the host asks the waiter to take the remaining bones and make soup before taking them away. This action also has another meaning, that is, the banquet is almost over.
I think most of the fish soup in the end are not Shandong people. You can make it yourself to try it. It’s very simple. Just add some pepper and vinegar to the remaining ingredients, and the taste is very good.
At this point, the following is the end of "Shandong people are the most rules when drinking. They know these three principles and are no longer afraid of drinking in Shandong." Everyone knows what rules should be mastered when going to Shandong to drink. In addition to these, does anyone know other drinking cultures? Welcome to the comment section to share with you.
