Hello, host!
I have read Teacher Fan Zhi's "Win in Every Move" before. He said that there is nothing particular about the seating arrangement, but there is something about the placement of knives and forks. Putting it sideways means that you have finished eating, and the waiter can clear away your tableware
When sitting, your body should be upright, your elbows should not be placed on the table, and your feet should not be crossed. The distance from the table It is better to use tableware easily. Do not mess around with the tableware that has been placed on the dining table. Fold the napkin in half and place it gently in your lap.
ps: How to use knives, forks and spoons in Western food
The knives, forks and spoons used in Western food have their own uses and cannot be substituted or mixed.
1. Knife
It is used to cut food. Do not use the knife to pick up food and bring it to your mouth. Remember: hold the knife in your right hand. If three knives of different sizes appear at the same time when dining, the generally correct usage is: the one with small serrations is used to cut meat; the medium-sized one is used to cut large vegetables into small pieces; A small knife with a rounded tip and an upturned top is used to cut the bread, and then use it to pick some jam and butter to spread on the bread.
2. Fork
Hold the fork in your left hand and lift the food to your mouth. The movement should be gentle. Pick up an appropriate amount of food and put it into your mouth at one time. Do not drag a large amount of food. It's very indecent to take a bite and then put it down. When the fork picks up food and puts it into your mouth, your teeth only touch the food. Do not bite the fork, and do not let the knife and fork make any sound on the teeth or on the plate.
3. Spoon
In formal occasions, there are many kinds of spoons, small ones are used for coffee and desserts; flat ones are used for spreading butter and sharing cakes; compare The big one is used for soup or small food; the largest one is used for sharing soup and is commonly found in buffets. Make no mistake.
Placement of tableware:
The placement of tableware is from outside to inside according to the order of serving. After some dishes are used, part of the knife and fork will be removed. The direction and position of the cutlery and forks are particular. Place the knife and fork on the tray in a figure-eight shape, with the knife edge facing inward and the fork tip pointing down, which means you want to continue eating; place the knife and fork parallel to the knife edge on the tray, with the fork tip pointing upward, which means you don't want to eat. The spoon is placed horizontally in the soup plate with the center of the spoon upward, which also means that the soup utensils can be taken away.
Thank you for your hard work and I hope you will adopt it!
