Guest, are you staying in a hotel or not? Why did the ancients call eating "pinching"?

In ancient times, chivalrous men walked in the streets. Generally speaking, in this case, there must be a simple and neat sentence from the bartender of Yuelai Inn in the voice-over: Please wait a moment, guest officer. Do you want to stay in a hotel?

However, after practical research, it is found that "striking the tip" should be "striking the fire". The term "striking a fire" here refers to striking a stone to make a fire. Firemaking tools include: fire sickle, flint and tinder.

It is usually hung at the waist and can be taken at any time. Replacing "cooking" with "making a fire" is like replacing "working in the fields" with "laying bricks" to build a house.
