Some families are worried that their children will not be able to support themselves well, so they ask their children to find a godmother from a family with many children or from a poor family. There are also superstitious families who believe that children and parents who are incompatible with each other in destiny will find a "quanhuanren" family, or a family with a compatibility in destiny. Of course, there are also cases where the parents get along well with each other and become a godfather. When recognizing a godfather and godmother, one must choose an auspicious day to bring gifts to the godfather's house, ask the child to kowtow, and write "inheritance" on a piece of red paper with a green edge. "paper", with the words "Your husband adopted a certain (referring to the godfather's surname) family, and named him so-and-so, and he will live a long life." The inheritance paper scroll should also be tied with a red string to hang a longevity lock. In the godson's bedroom, to suppress evil spirits and eliminate evil spirits. When recognizing the godmother, the child has to crawl under the godmother's crotch, commonly known as "drilling the crotch", to show that he will be born to the godmother from now on. This custom still exists. There are still some remnants, but the marriage recognition ceremony is already very simple. □Zhang Jiping’s custom of treating guests to a Chinese banquet. In the past, if the old Jinan people entertained guests, they would usually invite those who could afford it or those who were close to them at home. It was inconvenient or more formal at home. The occasion was at a restaurant. In the 1930s, Yanxitang had good food and a homelike dining environment, which made people feel at home. Many people were proud to treat guests here. They had family portraits and milk soup. A series of "signature" dishes such as cattail sprouts, dried shrimps in milk soup, fish maw in milk soup, agarwood in clear soup, butterfly sea cucumber in clear soup, and hericium head in clear soup are all served as a treat for guests at home or in restaurants. At that time, those who are at home should go out and wait for the guests, and those who are scheduled to arrive at the restaurant should arrive first to welcome the invited guests. After the guests arrive, they will offer tea and wait for the guests to take their seats in order of seniority and inferiority. The left side is the chief seat, the right side is the second seat, there are three seats on the left, four seats on the right of the second seat, and so on, and the last one is the main seat. After sitting down, the guests and hosts start drinking and guessing. After the meal is full, tea is served at the end of the banquet. The guests thank the host and the host sees them off. Western-style banquets began in Jinan when the Jiaoji Railway was built in the early 19th century. With the opening of the commercial port, Jinan's economy prospered and foreign countries came. Businessmen and expatriates came in droves, and the food customs of Western countries also had an impact on Jinan. Jinan’s Western food industry not only served foreign businessmen, foreigners, and foreign guests, but Western food also entered the daily life of Jinan people. Near the train station, it is the most luxurious hotel in the city and can host large-scale banquets. All kinds of food are German-style Western food, and the customs during the banquet are of course German-style. Beef stew, oxtail soup, grilled chicken, chicken and abalone soup, salad, etc. At that time, you could also enjoy rare ice cream after the meal, such as fried prawns and fried fish steaks, which are all suitable for the taste of Jinan people. The dining table is rectangular, with the host sitting at both ends of the long table, and the guests sitting on both sides. The female host and guest sit on the right side of the male host, and the male host and guest sit on the left side of the female host, and so on. When drinking soup, press the soup pot with your left hand and hold the spoon with your right hand. After drinking, place the spoon face up on the right side of the soup pot. When eating bread, spread butter with the knife and then cut with the knife with the left hand. When eating, do not use a knife to eat. After eating, fork the food on the right side and place it on the right side of the plate. Drinks and drinks are served on the left side of the guests. After the meal, you can eat some fruit or drink some coffee. The host or guests must speak during the meal when the meal is stopped. Do not make any noise with your mouth when eating, do not lower your head near the food, and do not make any noise on the plate.
