C83 (1/2)

Leng Qiyue originally thought that she wouldn't suffer by Han Liu's side, but she was wrong. Now, there were twelve people seated around a table. In front of them were blue and white porcelain bowls, silver chopsticks, and silver spoons. They sat and waited before the food was served.

Han Liu stood at the side with a straight face and said, ”Eating also has its rules. I don't care what you eat in the past, but today you have to behave yourself when you come to my food hall.”

Since you are all married, and married to rich families, you can't be as casual about eating and entertaining as you are at home. Let me tell you about the taboo at mealtime.

The first one, avoid three long and two short. Before or during the meal, the whole chopstick will be placed on the table, like a coffin board, two long and two short, very unlucky. Although you don't have to personally do the distribution of the dishes, you still have to know that this chopsticks can be used to supervise the servants in the future.

The second was to avoid Immortal Shows the Way. When taking the chopsticks, he couldn't use his index finger, or else he would be criticizing others. Unless he was the head of the family, he had to take care of his fingers. If he was chopped off, it wouldn't be worth it.

Article 3. Beseeching. is to hold the chopsticks in your mouth and make a sound like sucking a conch. Usually, only children would do this. At that time, the mother would correct and instruct them, otherwise, it would seem like there was no home tutor.

Fourth, avoid knocking on cups. Don't tap your chopsticks on your plate and make a noise while you're eating. It will make you feel like you're begging for food.

The fifth rule is to avoid patrolling the city. I can't take chopsticks and unrestrainedly use chopsticks to fiddle around on the table to find my favorite food. This is a sign of lack of education.

The sixth rule is to avoid digging the grave. It was just that they couldn't use their chopsticks to continuously flip the dishes. It was like they were digging a grave, the people eating at the same table would feel disgusted.

Article 7. Tears and tears. It is a grave breach of etiquette not to drip vegetable soup on other dishes or tables.

Article 8. Avoid overturning the truth. Is to use the chopsticks inverted, as if the hunger does not choose to eat, to give a person a feeling of inferiority.

Article 9. Avoid setting the sea as the divine needle of the sea. It means you can't stick a chopstick into a plate while eating. If you stick out your middle finger in front of the crowd at the same time, it would be considered a humiliation to the people at the same table.

Ten, do not burn incense in public. It was a great disrespect to stick a pair of chopsticks vertically into a bowl of rice, as if offering incense to a dead man.

Article 11. Cross over. He could not cross his chopsticks and place them on the table. This was because he was dissatisfied with the others around his table, and it was also because he was disrespectful to himself.

Twelfth, do not panic after landing. The chopsticks in his hand must be gripped tightly. If the chopsticks fall to the ground by mistake, it would also be a serious disgrace.

Alright, the 12 above are taboo when it comes to eating. In a rich family, it would be enough for them to be abandoned if they were annoyed by 3 of them.

Next, it's time to eat. I will serve the dishes according to the etiquette of a rich family. ”All of you better perform well. If you violate a single rule, you will be beaten ten times.”

Han Liu finally finished her long speech. She clapped three times before someone carried in the dishes.

When the dishes were put down, everyone was clearly disappointed. There was only a plate of melon seeds, a plate of peanuts, a plate of osmanthus cake and a plate of apricot fritters.

Han Liu said, ”When the rich families are inviting guests, those guests will definitely not come along, so we'll put in some snacks and of course, some fruits. We'll use these four items as a substitute for today's simple demonstration. As for the guests, they would eat while waiting for the guests to arrive. However, the guests who were of good quality would not eat too much, but would only move about a bit. ”Here, give it a try.”

The twelve women on the table looked at each other and began to reach for their favorite snacks. No one squeezed a melon seed or two. They didn't put the seeds directly in their mouths for a bite. Instead, they used their sleeves to cover themselves and crushed them. Then, they took out the nuts and placed them in their mouths.

Leng Qiyue was already hungry. She reached out her hand to touch a piece of osmanthus cake, but before she could bring it back, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand and the osmanthus cake fell onto the table. Leng Qiyue was startled. She looked at the back of her hand and saw a red line on it.

”As for the large piece of pastries, the guests wouldn't touch them. They would give off the feeling of a reincarnated hungry ghost.” There was contempt in Han Liu's voice. Absolutely.

Leng Qiyue glanced at her. At some point, a vine had appeared in her hand. She assumed that the back of her hand had been struck. She glared at Han Liu. 'Was this guy doing it on purpose? He must have hit me before he said she was doing it on purpose!'
