Why do some rural people choose to hold banquets at home instead of going to restaurants?

1. The location is inconvenient.

If giving a banquet, invite all relatives. In rural households, most of the relatives are from the same village, so it doesn't take much trouble to get together. But if you go to a hotel to display it, the first problem you encounter is that there are no hotels in rural areas. Well, the nearest one is in the county seat. That's far enough. How to send relatives out, and how to come back after having a good meal and drinks. There are so many relatives, and if you want to take care of them, you must take care of everyone. On festive days, I hope everyone can be happy, but there are really too many people, and it is obviously impossible to take care of them. This is not one or two movies A car can handle it. Moreover, the relatives also find it troublesome and prefer to put them at home to save trouble and convenience.

2. Clean, hygienic and plentiful.

In fact, the banquet held at my own home is much cleaner than that in the hotel. People in the countryside are very particular about food, and all the dishes are made by themselves, so there is absolutely nothing to say about hygiene. Moreover, the living standards in rural areas have improved now, and the food at the banquet is sufficient and has everything that should be included. Especially on such a festive day, I can't wait to spend all my money to celebrate.

3. Lively.

In the countryside, they set up a banquet and it was lively. They came in at a certain time, set off firecrackers to welcome the door, worshiped their ancestors, had a banquet, toasted, distributed candies, had lunch, then dinner, distributed candies again, and finally had a wedding ceremony, which was very lively. , extremely festive, which is something a hotel cannot have.

Moreover, marrying a wife may be the most important thing for a person. If you do it at home, you will feel at ease. If you marry a wife, you will really marry your daughter-in-law, and they will grow old together in harmony and beauty.

Seeing this, many people asked, if it is so troublesome to arrange a wedding banquet at home, why not order it at a hotel?

I think there are several reasons.

1. Mainly due to rural traditional customs. Rural people are polite and have many relatives and friends;

2. Mainly because there are many relatives staying overnight and they need a lot of food and accommodation. For meals, it is inconvenient, not cost-effective, and expensive to go to a hotel;

3. It only costs two to three hundred yuan to host a banquet at home, but it will cost at least seven to eight hundred yuan per table to go to a hotel. ;

4. Rural people like to drink home-brewed grain wine, which is sweet and delicious, and like to eat home-made dishes, which are particularly tasty. If they eat too much greasy food, they can remove the oil. It is more convenient than a hotel, so farmers are generally reluctant to hold wedding banquets in hotels.

In fact, the more virtuous reason is that rural areas like liveliness: in our northern rural areas, we like to sing a party. On the day of the wedding, we invite the local opera troupe to sing it all day and night for the guests, relatives, friends and neighbors. Let's take a look. It's really lively. There are many people watching at the same time. This condition is not available in hotels. At the same time, rural people like to be lively and like to set off fireworks and firecrackers at night, which is definitely not allowed in cities. Therefore, it is simple, economical and convenient for rural farmers to hold wedding banquets at their own homes, so why not do it!

First of all, the cost of setting up wine in your own home is much lower than in a hotel. You can purchase firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables and meat in large quantities by yourself, and it is even cheaper than buying vegetables in ordinary times. In rural areas, it is usually done by relatives. If someone with good cooking skills in the neighborhood becomes the chef, the cost of the chef will be saved, and the dishes made will be more in line with local tastes, large in quantity and affordable;

The second thing is the atmosphere. Relatives and neighbors in the winery can help together. Men kill pigs and cook, women wash vegetables and dishes, and children can also help pick side dishes. Everyone chats while working, which is lively and festive. Everyone arrived early at the hotel. The atmosphere is much better just waiting at the table.

As a rural person, I feel like I have something to say

Opinion 1: It is customary to prepare your own banquets, because many banquets need to be held in the next season, such as pigs and sheep for funerals and chickens for weddings. Fish etc. Moreover, many banquets in rural areas last for several days. Moving takes three days, weddings take two days, funerals usually take seven days, full moons take one and a half days, and champion wines take one and a half days, because this way distant relatives can come in person.

Also, the portion is large. If people at the table think the dish is delicious but not enough, they can ask for extra dishes. It is different in a restaurant and you will not be able to enjoy the meal to the fullest. Hosting banquets in rural areas is mainly for gatherings of family and friends, so three meals a day plus glutinous rice dumplings as a late-night snack are necessary during the banquet days. However, in restaurants, people will think that you are simply collecting betrothal gifts for a meal. After dinner, everyone was sent away. In fact, the cost is almost the same whether it is a restaurant or a family banquet, so even though many young people now find it troublesome and want to host it in a restaurant, those older people still want to host a banquet at home. If everyone does not meet often, or it has been several years, If that doesn't happen, the banquet time will be extended by a day or two to facilitate the relationship. Therefore, relationships in rural areas are very complicated now. In a town, no matter which family, as long as we chat, we will always find that we are related to each other.

Opinion 2: First of all, the relative cost of setting up wine at home is much lower than that in a hotel. You can purchase firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables and meat in large quantities by yourself, even more than usual. It’s also cheap. When serving wine in rural areas, people with good cooking skills from relatives and neighbors usually serve as chefs. The cost of chefs is also saved, and the dishes produced are more in line with local tastes, large in quantity, and affordable;

Second, it’s the atmosphere. When the wine is served at home, all relatives and neighbors can help together. Men kill pigs and cook, women wash vegetables and dishes, and children can also help pick side dishes. Everyone chats while working, which is lively. It was also festive, and the atmosphere was much better as everyone in the hotel arrived early and waited at the table.

Viewpoint 3: There are certain reasons why rural people like to hold banquets in their own villages. It’s not that they don’t want to cause trouble, and the second is that everyone is willing to do this kind of trouble.

First of all, hosting a banquet at home will appear lively. If you host a banquet in your own village, people from the village will help. It is a big gathering of everyone in the village, and it is a lively event.

Secondly, if you hold a banquet at the Jiuxian, you will be relaxed, but your relatives will be in trouble. For rural people’s banquets, everyone in the village is usually a relative, and they will go there. The guests who came brought some trouble.

Finally, rural people are relatively frugal. The leftovers from banquets at home can still be eaten by fellow villagers for the second meal, or they can be packed back to their homes to eat.

Holding a banquet in a hotel is not only a waste of money, but also not lively. Rural people who like liveliness will choose to hold banquets at home.

Viewpoint 4: Setting up banquets has been a custom in rural areas for a long time. Farmers love lively and festive scenes, and hosting their own banquets is in line with their wishes. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. This can bring closer relationships with relatives and friends and bring harmony to neighbors.

Secondly, hosting your own banquet reduces waste and eliminates comparisons between neighbors, which is more in line with the frugal social atmosphere.

Viewpoint 5: In rural areas, most people (including wealthy people) prefer to prepare banquets by themselves instead of going to hotels for several reasons:

< p> 1. Rural people love to be lively, and many people will be invited to banquets. If it is an informal event, in addition to relatives and friends, people from the village will also be invited (I don’t know about other places, we in Qidong will invite all the villagers in the group to eat). The scene of banquets in rural areas is quite lively, and the atmosphere is completely different from that in hotels

2. Low cost, this is the most practical reason. The same table of dishes costs 3,000 yuan in a hotel, so hire a housekeeping company The one-stop service only costs 600 tables per table. The quantity is large and the price is very affordable. When I got married, my wife’s relatives came from Shanghai and experienced the wedding banquet in the countryside. The seafood was very fresh and the food tasted good. It was not what I imagined. As in (poor).

3. Customs. Having a banquet at home is an ancient custom that will not change in a short time.

4. The house is large in area and can be used to host banquets. Rural houses are generally relatively large. Taking my house as an example, the first floor of a three-story building has three rooms and an area of ??100 square meters (excluding the kitchen). , enough for ten banquet tables.

Although I now live in the city, I still choose to host a banquet myself when there are things at home.

Viewpoint 6: On the one hand, it is traditional customs, on the other hand, it is family cohesion, and on the other hand, it allows guests to feel free and comfortable.

As for being greedy to save money, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Who can afford to get married several times in a lifetime? When it comes to traditional customs, it is a major event in my hometown. First, I invite you to give out the ancestral genealogy, and then cook something to eat. No matter what, you should respect your ancestors first, and then let your relatives and friends eat. It is impossible for other restaurants to let you serve ancestral genealogy in the restaurant. Speaking of family cohesion, I started going to school outside the home when I was 13. I had never experienced this before. When I got married, I notified my family four days in advance. They came to my house to discuss it in the evening. Everyone in charge came to discuss tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans. Then, what dishes to buy, which chef to hire, and the work was arranged in detail. Everyone was very attentive. I was very touched. The next day, early in the morning, several of my uncles, each leading a team of people, started to take action, buying vegetables, cleaning the yard, setting fires and cooking pots, and they were all busy. The guests were notified in advance, and many people came. There were more than a hundred tables at home, with more than ten dishes on each table. They also occupied several neighbors' yards and set up sheds. They were cleaned up before ten o'clock at noon. After ordering, customers started arriving one after another. Let's talk about it to make the guests feel at ease. The guests are all familiar with the family. Several people travel together and feel free to go to the house. Taking this opportunity, everyone can eat, drink and chat together, which is very happy. If you were in a restaurant, you would probably be very restrained, personally.

The banquet culture in rural areas is not only in the banquet, but also in the preparation process of the banquet. From pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to vegetables, fruits and snacks, the owner prepares them for as long as a year or as little as a month. The preparation process is full of expectations and happiness. The family is constantly planning, when to buy piglets to feed, how much glutinous rice oil tea to grow, and the family's hearts are united.

Rural banquets have also kept pace with the times. Chefs who specialize in hosting banquets have become professional, and tables, stools, bowls and chopsticks are readily available in the car. The banquets in rural areas are also affordable, with big mouthfuls of meat and coarse bowls of wine.

The countryside is now full of brick-and-concrete and even frame-structured small Western-style buildings. The bamboo-fenced thatched cottages of childhood are nowhere to be found, but the banquets in the countryside are still full of nostalgia and long-lasting nostalgia, which makes people fascinated.

The floor in front of the house is also wide, so it is not a problem for each family to place fifteen or six tables at a time for a wedding banquet. If there are more guests and fewer tables, they can clear the dishes and arrange the wedding banquet again for the second time. The neighbors and villagers are not afraid of trouble to help and are dedicated. Try your best as if you were working for your own family, and don't pretend to be a coward.

Having a wedding banquet at home? Trouble, why don’t you order a meal at the hotel? There are several reasons. This is mainly due to the traditional customs in rural areas. Rural people are very polite and have many relatives and friends. Mainly because there are many relatives staying overnight and they need multiple meals and meals. It is inconvenient, uneconomical and expensive to go to a hotel, and you can also do it at home. A banquet only costs two to three hundred yuan, but going to a hotel will cost at least seven to eight hundred yuan per table. Moreover, rural people like to drink home-brewed grain wine, which is sweet and delicious, and like to eat home-made dishes. , it tastes particularly greasy, and if you eat too much greasy food, you can go to remove the oil, which is more convenient than a hotel, so farmers are generally reluctant to go to hotels for wedding banquets.

?Furthermore, rural areas like to be lively: in our hometown in Hunan, we like to sing Huagu opera when we hold weddings. On the day of the wedding, we invite the local Huagu opera troupe to sing it all day and night for guests, relatives, friends and neighbors to watch. It's really lively, with many people watching at the same time. This condition is not available in hotels. At the same time, rural people like to be lively and like to set off fireworks and firecrackers at night, but cities definitely don't allow it. Therefore, it is simple, economical and convenient for rural farmers to hold wedding banquets at their own homes, so why not do it!

First of all, the cost of setting up wine in your own home is much lower than in a hotel. You can purchase firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables and meat in large quantities by yourself, and it is even cheaper than buying vegetables in ordinary times. In rural areas, it is usually done by relatives. If someone in the neighborhood with good cooking skills becomes the chef, the cost of the chef will be saved, and the dishes made will be more in line with local tastes, large and affordable;

The second thing is the atmosphere. When the wine is served at home, all the relatives and neighbors can help together. Men kill pigs and cook, women wash vegetables and dishes, and children can also help pick side dishes and so on, while everyone works. While chatting, it was lively and festive. It was much better to have everyone arrive early and wait at the table at the hotel.

It is customary to prepare your own banquets, because many banquets need to be held in the next season, such as pigs and sheep for funerals, chickens and fish for weddings, etc. Moreover, many banquets in rural areas last for several days. Moving takes three days, weddings take two days, funerals usually take seven days, full moons take one and a half days, and champion wines take one and a half days, because this way distant relatives can come in person.

Therefore, relationships in rural areas are very complicated now. In a town, no matter which family, as long as we chat, we will always find that we are related to each other.

Why? There are three main reasons:

1: The picture is lively and the atmosphere is pictured.

When doing business in rural areas, the goal is popularity. The more people, the better, and the more lively the better. Hold a banquet in the village, hire one or two chefs, prepare the food yourself, and the neighbors will take the initiative to help. As far as I know, some places hold banquets for three days, three meals a day. It is definitely unrealistic to go to a restaurant every time. It is easy to say noon and evening, but the restaurant will definitely not have time to prepare in the morning.

2: It is cheaper to hold a banquet at home than in a hotel.

Of course, people now also choose to treat guests at the hotel. This saves the host the trouble and spends more money, but it always lacks some atmosphere. Everyone rushes to the meal, pats their butts and leaves after the meal. . Although it is troublesome to hold a banquet at home, the family feeling is stronger. The most important thing is that it is affordable. It definitely saves money than having a banquet in a restaurant, and you can still eat well. Inviting two chefs to your home will taste no worse than a restaurant, you can save money, and you can still eat well. Why not?

3: It is a custom to hold a banquet at home.

In our hometown, weddings and weddings are usually held in a big pot, which is relatively economical. However, when you get married, you will still have a banquet at home. One situation is that before the wedding, you will have a banquet with the man's friends, mainly classmates and relatives. One situation is that on the wedding day, a banquet is held for the woman's relatives, mainly the dowry givers and some elders. These banquets are all at home, never in restaurants. This is a custom that has been passed down for many years.

As for, in some places, all relatives and friends are invited to a wedding banquet, especially at home. The wedding events of the day are all held at home. There are a lot of particularities and customs, some of which cannot be carried out if you go to a hotel. Therefore, most people still choose to stay at home.

In short, city people like to go to hotels when they get married, while rural people like to get married at home!

As a rural person, I understand the reason why they prefer to host banquets at home: inheriting local customs in rural areas

In rural areas, it is customary to host banquets at home . Generally, weddings last three days, funerals last five days, and even a child's full moon lasts two days. No matter how poor the financial situation is, the dishes are less and the rules for setting up banquets must be followed, otherwise they will be laughed at by the villagers. Setting up banquets at home has been a long-standing custom in rural areas. As a native of rural areas, we are also used to and follow this way of hospitality. In other words, it has left an indelible memory in people's hearts, which will not change and cannot be changed. If you go to a restaurant, young people can accept it, but for the elderly, it is temporarily unacceptable. Showing the simple folk customs in rural areas

When you encounter a happy event, you have to go door to door to say it, which is also an invitation. If it's a funeral, there's no need to invite people, everyone will come as soon as they hear about it; if they say it's to help, they will put aside their own farm work, and even migrant workers will come home, and it will take three or five days to help from the beginning to the end; as long as you are there I don’t want to help out, and I don’t even cook with the family, I just “spend” on the food every day.

With a "share of money", the whole family came to have a feast, and the host was overjoyed; as long as there were wanderers passing by, bachelors would come in, handing them cigarettes, pouring tea, and even serving them food. If you go to a restaurant, only a few people from your neighbors, relatives and friends are needed to help. Even the ones who serve the food and pour the wine are waiters with unfamiliar faces, and I feel alienated from everyone. The picture shows that the atmosphere is good and lively

When banquets are held in rural areas, all the villagers, relatives and friends come to help and eat banquets. With more people, there are more entertainment activities. The children chased and played with each other, and the adults chatted and played cards. The courtyard is spacious and relatively free. Even if it is noisy, it doesn't matter and it still seems lively; those relatives and friends who have not seen each other for many years finally get together to reminisce over wine, drink a few more glasses of wine, guess the rules, and the person in charge will set aside The table was decorated with food and wine to keep them entertained. The atmosphere was lively and catered to the host's original intention of hosting a banquet. In a hotel, everyone would be reluctant to speak loudly, there would be a sense of restraint, and there would be no lively atmosphere. The dishes are real and cost-effective.

We have a banquet at our house with rich dishes, including pork, chicken, and fish. There are ten or twenty cold and hot dishes, and a big pot of dishes is indispensable. The village chef's food is very suitable for everyone's taste, and the portions of the dishes are very sufficient. Moreover, the ingredients for our own banquet are purchased in-house, which not only saves costs, but also allows you to eat with confidence. Setting up a banquet in a hotel is convenient and saves a lot of trouble, but the portions of the dishes are small. If the same dish is named in a restaurant, the price will be several times higher.
