In addition to the size of the city and rural bowl, in the north and south of China, there is also this difference, basically the more south people eat with a smaller bowl.
Northeastern pot stickers, a whole is a big pot
And then a plate of Xinjiang's big dish of chicken
to a bowl of Shaanxi's hot and cold noodles
Let's take a look at the South's diet:
Shanghai's exquisite small dishes
Guangdong's crystal shrimp dumplings, small dumplings ......
If it were a northerner eating these things from the south, he would definitely say, "Boss, 10 cages of buns first."
When I was a kid in the countryside, anyone in the village who had a relative in the county felt twice as honored.
Our neighbor's second son (Xiaofeng), who is a city dweller in the eyes of the rural people, has been working in the county for more than ten years, and he seems to be a deputy director of the county education bureau.
The village children want to go to the city to go to school, free of borrowing fees, are through his relationship.
When he was in power, he also helped a lot of children in the village, and was a prestigious person.
Some people in the village were jealous and joked, "Xiaofeng, I heard your aunt say, the last time I went to the county, I ate at your house, and your bowl was too small, so I asked for two bowls of rice and didn't get enough. Later, also embarrassed to eat, you see in our countryside with a big bowl, a bowl is enough, you are now a city dweller, eating with our rural people are not the same, a day can eat enough ..... . ." Said hahaha laughed out loud.
Of course, not all, it has to do with the food eaten in each place itself.
Most places in the north are eating pasta, while the south is basically dishes with rice. Rice can be eaten sparingly, and more vegetables can balance the nutrition.
So food determines eating habits.
In any case, no matter how big or small the bowl, it is a good bowl to be able to eat!
With big bowls and small bowls, this is not a big relationship with the rural city, engaged in the same physical labor, there are small bowls in the countryside, especially young and middle-aged people with more, the elderly with less, if, as some netizens have said, due to the rural areas engaged in heavy physical labor only with big bowls, that seventy-eighty, eighty-ninety-year-old how to explain the old man? Still engaged in manual labor? Are there no manual laborers in the cities? In the city, some types of work than planting are tired, and time is stuck dead, unlike planting tired to sit in the field to rest for a long time, many people still use small bowls, on the one hand, is not accustomed to the problem, on the one hand, is not to speak of the problem, as if some people are accustomed to wearing hats, not necessarily because of cold to wear, not necessarily because of the heat to wear, in April and May is the spring blossoms is not cold and not hot comfortable Season, as usual, there are a lot of people wearing a hat, as if accustomed to nature, and not accustomed to wearing a hat, even if the cold, but also bare head, even if from time to time with a hand over the ears, but also do not want to wear a hat, so that it is a very good explanation of the amount of people even if the meal and then big, hungry, and then go home with a small bowl to eat, the big thing is more than a couple of bowls, I do not know that this interpretation of me have a problem? I'm not sure if there is anything wrong with this explanation.
In the mid-to-late 80s, mainland China has just emerged with a small bowl, when Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas are more prevalent, the first time in the play to see Taiwan and Hong Kong people eat with a small bowl, but also to my surprise, then often appear lines are: I want to drink congee, or you do not drink congee ah and so on, and then the camera on the small bowl, I also asked my mother, they eat with such a little small bowl can be eaten full? It's appropriate for a three or four year old to eat. My mom also said in a surprised tone of voice: Haha right, how to use so little small bowl, laughing.
So I think, in the mid to late 80s, the mainland began to popularize the use of small bowls, may be influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, think with a small bowl of fashion, avant-garde, popular, foreign style, with a large bowl of rustic, so we are very like to follow the trend, it is easy to forget the traditional, not what is practical to use what is popular to use what? Of course, I am not saying that the Chinese mainland porcelain kilns, ceramic factories did not produce small bowls, small bowls since ancient times, often seen in the antique market, treasure appreciation program also has, but at that time is the dignitary, the big families with the late Qing and early Ming, the more poor people do not have enough to eat the more with large bowls, small bowls are the exclusive landed gentry. After the liberation of the landlord and shady gentry was defeated, no matter what class, almost all with a big bowl to eat, and big sea bowl, big sand bowl, small bowl is almost extinct.
I am a pragmatist, coupled with a poor life since childhood, I am afraid of not eating enough, so the heart has been more excluded from the small bowl, no good feeling, so I got married, and has been using the big bowl. Sometimes I go to my mom's house for dinner, she also knows that I like to use a big bowl, the biggest bowl out of the house, a bowl of noodles with marinara, or a bowl of dumplings, always full. I'd rather eat with a pot than a small bowl. Of course, I can understand why people with small meals use small bowls, but if they have small meals, why would you let them use big bowls? So according to their own meal size and living habits to decide it. My family large and small various types of bowls have, my wife's small meals, like to use small bowls, once I shop stalls, God, a big man, never bought these things before, can be said to be indifferent, this time, even held a stack of bowls, take to my wife to see, want her to praise a few words, did not expect her to say that buy so many bowls for what? I said no good? How beautiful is this color? She said it's too big, she has bought a lot of small bowls, told me not to buy these things in the future, hahahaha.
The size of your appetite determines the size of the bowl you eat with.
Actually, this one is a matter of habit. My family's rural area is currently the same. Every time I go back to mom and dad with a big bowl of rice, I also asked them. Mom and Dad said to save trouble, do not have to always go to serve rice. Our parents were born in the 50's or 60's and lived through the Great Collective Life and famine. At that time, it was good to have a full meal. So we try to eat as much as we can when we can, and it's a habit that we've formed slowly.
There's another reason why many of the vegetables in the countryside are home-grown, healthy and nutritious, and taste delicious and more appetizing, so it's good to have an appetite. I used to eat only a small bowl of food in the city, but I can eat a big bowl of food at home.
Probably because of the taste of home
About this kind of question, not the rural areas certainly can not understand, only the rural people know.
Rural people eat with a big bowl, the main reason, the work is heavy, the amount of cooking oil for life is light, so eat with a big bowl. Ancient Chinese saying (rice to eat three and a half bowls, the work of the field to see), what is the meaning of this sentence? What is the meaning of this saying? It means that if you can eat, you will have the strength to work. The more you show that the human body is healthy.
Why do city people eat with small bowls? This means that city people work light, do not do physical labor, eat more, not easy to digest. The first is that they are not a good choice, but they are a good choice for the future. Secondly, the city people have money, not move to eat snacks, drink the product, indicating that the city is not hungry.
The comparison of the two aspects of the rural and urban is how much difference? The bitter bitter people in the countryside, the work of the heavy, to eat more to do heavy work. So the reason why rural people and city people eat with big and small bowls!
In the past, rural work is strong physical labor, sweat. Meals are too simple, physical exertion, eat more, big bowl of rice, do not use to go back to the feast, small bowl is different, three mouths two mouths go down, is someone else to you, or your own feast, whether it is their own feast, or someone else for you to feast are troublesome, make a big bowl to get, who are all save, than the city people, the city people with a high level of culture, a lot of intellectuals, university professors a la, experts a la, teachers a la, even if the factory workers, the people who work at the factory, the people who work at the factory, the people who work at the factory, the people who work at the factory, the people who work at the factory, the people who work at the factory. Even those who work in factories are responsible for managerial work, not heavy physical work, so when they come home to eat, they are not very hungry, not to eat, but it's time to eat. Eat it, but no appetite, the city people's food and very good, nutrition with uniform, fish, meat, eggs and vegetables, especially complete, do very fine, but they gripped, gripped a few mouthfuls, not not tasty, is really, can not eat. He did not have physical work ah. Obviously can not make a big bowl, with a small bowl can not hold too full, half a bowl is enough. This is really unbelievable in the view of the rural people.
When I was young, I went to my uncle's house in the county, just in time for breakfast, but also did not polite, ate three bowls of rice, three buns, feel not full, my uncle's family of four people only prepared four buns and four bowls of rice, my uncle rushed to the street to buy buns to go, my cousin said that the rural dolls to eat more and more. Now our relatives see my cousin still use the rural dolls eat more jokes.
Because the rural people work heavy, work more, this amount of food must be bigger than the city people meal, if you use a small bowl, it is difficult to come back to the rice, with a big bowl on a fix, in fact, it is not absolute, a big bowl small bowl is just a habit, individuals like you feel small bowl can not eat enough you can use a big bowl to eat, half of the people with a big bowl can not finish the rest of the food to be poured with a small bowl is not just good.
Previously, more work, I can eat half a pot of rice a meal, and now life is good, the climate, the environment is also comfortable, and do not have to do the work, so a big bowl of rice where to eat. In our area, people who work on the farm can still eat three or four big bowls of rice a meal. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most popular ones.
Rural people are free, bold, real, big bowl of rice to eat enough to have the strength to do physical work; city people have a small stomach, pretending to show, do light things, small bowl of rice to pretend to be a man, but eat a lot of non-digestive, have to jump square dance poor, disturbing people. This is also the difference between urban and rural areas ......
Eating with a big bowl is mainly in rural areas in the north, the most typical is the old bowl of Shaanxi Guanzhong, the old bowl used for mutton burgers is now smaller than before. Northern rural meals with a big bowl is mainly northern dishes are less, mainly by pasta, and then a former rural conditions are difficult, basically no table, each person sheng a big bowl is enough to eat, by the way, to a squat there, eat and put the bowl also save time. Another farmer with a large amount of food, the end of the small bowl of ten or so bowls to be full, the trouble is not hemp. I a Shaanxi farmers have eaten up to two and a half pounds of dumplings (150) with the southern small bowl, you have to 30 bowls, eat people are not annoyed with the people who are annoyed with the death. By the way, I'm six meters tall and weigh 60 kilograms.
Let's put it this way, the rural dinner is dinner. To rice-based, while the city people to food-based, to rice as a supplement.
