What does the restaurant mean?

Catering shops are also called restaurants, restaurants and hotels. In the Song Dynasty, hotels and restaurants were built separately, and hotels were also called restaurants and restaurants. In the Qing dynasty, there was basically no distinction between big shops and small shops, but wine and vegetables were not sold at the same time.

The restaurant was formerly a teahouse, which existed before the Qing Dynasty. Teahouses are mainly places for drinking tea and eating snacks, and there will be no other dishes. On the other hand, the former wine owners would provide places for banquets. From the beginning of the 20th century, restaurants began to operate teahouse business, while teahouses that only provided snacks were gradually eliminated.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, hotels were very prosperous. As far as business projects are concerned, there are various types of hotels. For example, in Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were wine shops, tea houses, steamed buns shops, houses (as hungry as official houses outside), leisure hotels (ordinary hotels) and warehouse hotels (with prostitutes).

As far as business flavor is concerned, Kaifeng and Hangzhou in the Song Dynasty have northern restaurants, southern restaurants and Sichuan restaurants, as well as "Ro hotels" with Shandong and Hebei flavors. As far as hotel grades are concerned, there are "head offices" and small hotels. "Zhengdian" hotels are more advanced, mostly in the name of "architecture", serving dignitaries and literati.

Zhengdong Renhe Store and Xinmenli Huixian Restaurant are the main stores, and often have a 100 minute hall, so that each foot can match one thing. In Beijing, people are extravagant and the measurement is slightly wider. No matter who is in the hotel, only two people sit and drink, and they must also use a pair of bowls, two pairs of dishes, five fruits and vegetables, and three or five fruit bowls, which is nearly a hundred taels of silver.
