Why is the portion of Northeast cuisine so large?
I think I have the most say. I have lived in the Northeast for 4 years. During these 4 years, I have the best understanding of the customs and customs of the Northeast. One of the most important reasons for the heavy weight of Northeast cuisine is that it originated from the climate in the Northeast.
in the northeast, the cold time is long, especially in winter. The sun just rises at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and it gets dark at four o'clock in the afternoon. During the whole day, the sunshine rate is very short, and people's time for activities during the day becomes shorter. If you eat three more meals during the day, that's what the saying goes, but you have to eat the next meal before digestion, so you usually take it during the day.
The heating mode in Northeast China is the kang. When cooking, most people burn more firewood to heat it up, so the temperature in the room will rise. However, if you only stir fry, the kang will not be there, and the fire will go out when it heats up, so it is usually based on large pot stew.
stew a large pot of vegetables, the whole family has enough to eat, and the kang is also burning up. The weight of this cauldron must be sufficient. Because only one dish can be eaten by the whole family. Therefore, the weight of the food is very large, and it continues. Whether it is eating at ordinary times or celebrating the New Year, it is also a dish, and the weight is very large.
it's because of the northeast people's personality that they are very heroic, if the food is very small. Serving food for guests, eating a few mouthfuls of food will be less than half, and the rest of the guests are afraid to mention more chopsticks, which also makes people feel. I can't bear to give it to the guests, so as long as the food is at the bottom, (there are so few dishes on the plate that I can't see the bottom of the plate), my parents at home will bring the dishes to the basin to fill them, not only the size of the dishes is large, but also the amount of dishes prepared is very sufficient, and often there will be many dishes left after each meal.
but in the traditional concept of the northeast people, leftovers mean that the guests are well prepared and eat well, without seeing the bottom of the plate. If you see the bottom of the plate, it means that the dishes you prepared for the guests are too small to eat well, which is also related to the traditional valet culture.
Northeasters treat people sincerely and don't make each other feel stingy, so they are so generous in food culture. However, in the eyes of southerners, Northeasters are wasteful and even a little silly and generous. Northeasters don't mind, and one side is nurturing the other.
Many restaurants in Northeast China are characterized by their menu codes. Some restaurant plates can't be called plates, they should be called pots! Yes, it's a plate as big as a small pot. Once it's served, southerners will be scared to drop their chins!
I am a sister from Northeast China, and I am currently working in Shenzhen. To appreciate the weight of northeast cuisine, I'm afraid you won't be able to appreciate it in the northeast restaurant in other places. You have to go to the northeast to verify it yourself. The authentic northeast cuisine there can be said to be the gospel of the big stomach king. Take pot-stewed meat as an example. Basically, one plate of pot-stewed meat in my hometown is 1.5-2 plates in Shenzhen, and the price is only 6-7% of that in Shenzhen.
such a big plate of pot-wrapped meat costs 28 yuan. . .
In the daily life of Northeast cuisine, the table is full of my favorite food (drooling)
This is another pot-stewed meat I ate in my hometown
I remember to learn to drive after graduating from high school, and there is a snack bar nearby (in the northeast, it is smaller than a restaurant). At noon, I went to ask for a fried noodles with sauerkraut. After I made it, I saw a scene that I will never forget: I saw the boss buckle the plate directly on the Ma Shao (the cauldron of cooking), and then turned the plate over with his hand, and buckled a whole Ma Shao's dishes into the plate. This dish, don't say that I was a petite and lovely girl weighing less than 1 Jin at that time. I feel that this dish can't be eaten by four big men. At that time, I thought it was a little expensive. I couldn't eat such a big dish, and I had to spend more money. As a result, the bill is 4 yuan. . .
then why is the northeast menu so big? There are two main reasons.
One is purely rigid demand. People in Northeast China are generally tall, and the proportion of food by weight is definitely higher. Moreover, the latitude in Northeast China is high, and it is extremely cold in winter. In order to resist the cold, people like foods with high calories and large components. Think about Germany, isn't it also a beer sausage and pig elbow, and its weight is staggering ~ so the northeast is very similar to Germany.
The other is caused by the culture and personality of the Northeast people, and the menu code often reflects the hospitality of the Northeast people. Northeasters are generous and generous, and they must not be stingy with their guests, otherwise they will be easily looked down upon. Cheap, this is definitely a serious injury in the northeast, and it is easy to be isolated. Therefore, under such a cultural atmosphere, the food culture that has been born is that the food code must be large. For a restaurant, whether the taste is good or not is a matter of level, but whether the menu size is big or not is definitely an attitude problem. If the menu size is too small, it will be considered unrealistic to do business. Therefore, friends who come to the Northeast to do catering business should also pay attention to this.
hello, everyone. I have lived in the northeast for many years, and the food is really large. In view of this problem, say my opinion.
I'm a foreigner. I've been here in the Northeast since I went to college, and I've been married for more than 1 years now. My first impression of the Northeast is that the Northeasters are generous in character and are very frank in speaking and doing things.
The expression of frank people is also very direct and affordable. They will be afraid that you will not have enough to eat, so the amount of each dish is relatively large. Therefore, no matter whether you go to a guest's home in Northeast China or a restaurant in Northeast China, you will find that the amount of food is very large.
every time my husband and I go back to my mother-in-law's house, even if we tell her in advance that we can't eat much and cook less, we will find a table full when we go home, always saying that we can take it away if we haven't finished eating.
generally, stew is the main dish in northeast China. This cooking method generally requires a larger pot, so I think the amount of food is relatively large. The famous dishes in Northeast China, such as sauced elbows and sauced bones, are very big, and they will not look small when served.
It's cold in winter in the northeast, so you need more calories to keep warm, so your food intake is relatively large, and the food intake will naturally be large. Northeast cuisine is oily to a certain extent, and I personally think it has something to do with it. What impressed me the most was that I just went to college and came here. I found that dinner was richer than lunch. In my hometown, dinner was very light, and with the heavy oil, I gained more than 1 kilograms a semester, which surprised my parents when I came home.
Northeast cuisine does not belong to the eight major cuisines. With the entry of Nurhachi, Northeast cuisine has merged with the diets of many ethnic minorities. The heroic personality of ethnic minorities has also influenced the characteristics of Northeast cuisine. Northeast cuisine does not stick to details and strives to make you full and have a good time, so the amount of food is very large. Moreover, people in Northeast China usually eat meat, drink wine and chat about trivial things.
I'm second sister, and I'll answer the question why the amount of Northeast food is so large.
Second Sister is also a northerner. No matter whether she eats at home or in the Northeast Restaurant, the dishes in the Northeast are all full of plates. I think the most obvious manifestation is that the plates for serving rice and vegetables are extremely large. Therefore, if delicious food in other places can serve more than a dozen dishes at a table, then seven or eight dishes have already occupied the whole table for Northeast cuisine.
For example, second sister is familiar with stewed fish in an iron pot. Five or six people can sit around a big iron pot. Two Qingjiang fish or grass carp, served with pot stickers, are guaranteed to let you hold the wall in and out. Everyone may think that the amount of these dishes is how to eat it. In fact, my second sister tells you that it is really common for such a situation.
then why are the portions of northeast dishes so large? Second sister thinks there are several reasons, so I'll tell you about them below.
1. The reason for the height and weight of the northeast people
Second Sister asks everyone, do you feel that the height of the northeast people is relatively high? Compared with the south, the northeast people give people the impression that they are tall, strong and strong. Therefore, compared with people in other places, people in Northeast China seem to be bigger than one circle. It must be tall, so it is heavy. So I eat more, and the small bowl of food can't meet the need, so the big bowl of food is more affordable. Otherwise, let's think about it. If the food is not enough, how many bowls of food will be enough? Therefore, it is not as good as directly serving a large amount of food to make people feel more comfortable.
2. It has something to do with the character of the northeast people.
Northeasters are more loyal and like a down-to-earth and practical feeling. Second sister gives two examples.
the first one is: when people are invited to have dinner at home, they must be satisfied. This also shows that they are welcome, otherwise they have not had enough to eat. How can people feel that you welcome people to their homes? Therefore, a large quantity reflects a warm attitude and shows the host's welcome to the guests.
the second one is: if you go to a restaurant to eat, and the same food is delicious in large quantities, then this restaurant will definitely be popular in the northeast. A large quantity is enough, which shows the reality of doing business and also reflects the attitude towards guests. So at this time, if you put a bunch of good dishes on a big plate, it is also good for everyone to think about their mood.
3. Northeastern people's habits
Have you ever seen a dish in a big basin when cooking in the Northeast? Actually, second sister tells you, it's quite a lot. I think the reason why I cook so many dishes is also because the northeast people are used to making a big basin of dishes. If you can't finish this meal, you can heat it up and continue eating. This is a habit that has been handed down for a long time, so it has been preserved until now.
the above reasons summarized by the second sister also explain why the amount of Northeast cuisine is so sufficient. So don't be surprised if you see a big pot of pork-killing vegetables or stewed fish with pot stickers in a big iron pot when you go to northeast restaurants all over the country, or even a big plate of fish with colorful face lifts. Second sister thinks this is a very common thing.
Second Sister recommends that you eat stewed fish or stewed chicken in an iron pan, which tastes different from those cooked at home. Moreover, the authentic pot-stewed chicken is stewed with firewood, so whether it is fish or duck, it will make the meat not tight and delicious. Coupled with a circle of pot stickers around the edge of the iron pot, it really has a unique flavor!
dude, the plate is too small to eat!
I'm from the northeast, and I have a say.
There are four reasons for dishes in the northeast.
First, people in the northeast eat a lot. The northeast is cold, so if you eat less, you won't keep out the cold. You have to eat more. I am a non-manual worker. Every time I want to take out food, I have to have two meals. People think I have two people to eat, so they give me two pairs of chopsticks directly. Actually, I eat alone. (Oh dear, isn't this a fool? )
Second, the Northeast is rich in natural products. In particular, the food supply was sufficient. In the era of crossing the border, many people from Guanli found that there were plenty of things here, and finally they dared to eat in large quantities. They dared not eat casually when they were in their hometown, so they had to scrimp and save. My hometown is Dongping, Shandong Province. According to my parents, there was a jingle in Dongping at that time, called tung ping chau and tung ping chau. They didn't accept it for ten years, but they accepted it and ate Kyushu. It serves to show how difficult the conditions were at that time. It was not that Dongping's harvest was good, and it could be eaten for nine years in one year, but that it could only be saved and barely maintained for nine years. In the northeast, I found that I don't need to save so much, but I can eat hard, no problem.
Because of the rich products, the people in Northeast China are generous. This is the third reason. Our family has food, and we are not afraid to eat it. You can't eat enough. Especially when we have guests, we are afraid of being stingy. How can people in the northeast pay attention to these things? Let you eat. Shut your mouth.
in the past, there was a saying in the northeast that the roe deer was beaten with a stick, the fish was scooped with a scoop, and the pheasant flew into the rice cooker. It's too easy to eat some game. Mushrooms, hazelnuts, pine nuts and walnuts are everywhere in autumn. Wild vegetables in spring and summer. Dig a piece of land on the mountain and grow something to eat for a year.
When I was young, I went to the mountain not far from the city with my father to dig a small piece of land. At that time, I was very reluctant. As a child who grew up in the city, what kind of land did I cross? Moreover, at that time, I was not sensible and thought that farming was a shameful thing. But my father's life was hard to disobey, so he followed his old man up the mountain. My baby who grew up in this city is really useless. I was tired after planing with a pick for a while. I was seventeen years old that year. It was originally thin. He is 1.72 meters tall and weighs only 18 Jin. And my father, who is in his sixties, has been planning there. Scold me as a loser while planing. Say that I am young, I am not as good as an old man. We planed about two or three hundred square meters and planted soybeans. Usually, my father took me to remove weeds, and in autumn. We harvested more than half of the sacks of soybeans, more than 1 kilograms. People are really strange, and they are especially happy to see the goods received. At that time, my parents said that they would continue to plant next year. We planted it for another year, and then we didn't plant it because we didn't have time.
you see, it's too easy to get some food in the northeast. With food, you are not afraid of anything.
Fourth, the climate problem. It is well known that winter is cold in Northeast China, but now it seems to be less cold than before. It is seldom MINUS 3 degrees in winter, usually at 15 or 16 degrees during the day, and the coldest time at night is 27 degrees to about 3 degrees. And it's only ten days. At least the city where I live now is like this, but it used to be much colder than this. It is common to have a temperature of MINUS 3 degrees. Therefore, eating less really doesn't keep out the cold, and we need a lot of energy to fight the cold.
We have formed a habit for many years, so our food sizes are extremely large.
come to the northeast, and I'll treat you to northeast food. But it doesn't pay to die.
Hotels in Northeast China are all big plates. This is related to the living habits of the northeast people. Northeasters, especially men, rarely eat snacks, and they all eat at fixed points. Some people do manual work and eat a lot. Even if you eat at home, the amount of food is generally large. In the northeast, especially in the suburbs of the city, hotels are generally 1-inch and 12-inch plates. Some restaurants are more practical, and remind you when you order, don't order too much, you can't eat too much.
I remember that more than ten years ago, the four of us drove from Shenyang to Harbin and had lunch in Halaha Town. When you enter the restaurant and order, the waiter reminds you that four people, two dishes and one soup will do. As a result, we ordered, braised crucian carp in sauce, fried meat segments and vegetarian soup. We still had half of these dishes left, so we packed them and took them away, but we didn't eat them at night.
this is the characteristic of the northeast, the boldness of the northeast people and the reality of the northeast people.
The weight of Northeast cuisine-only dare to order .5 portions
is the taste of youth in my memory
The first time I went to the Northeast, I went to Changchun
I was 25 years old alone, on a business trip
I went to the hotel in winter
because I didn't have the money to buy a thick down jacket ~ the salary was low ~
I didn't touch it.
I haven't been to the Northeast, and I wonder how big the Northeast cuisine is! Because the northeast dishes outside the northeast are all too thin, although you feel that the dishes are heavy, the actual weight is much smaller than that in the northeast!
Why is the portion of Northeast cuisine so large? I think the most important reason is related to the thinking of people in Northeast China who love face, followed by the large appetite and the abundant local resources and cheap prices.
have been to the northeast.
