The chassis does not directly hold food, but its function is the combination of decorations and trays. The chassis is placed in front of the dining car, and the waiter puts food and vegetables on the chassis when serving; Sometimes, the waiter will take the chassis away at the first meal. Some restaurants don't put the chassis on the table, but the waiter will put the food and its plate directly on the table when serving.

1, finished eating
Knives and forks can be placed on the same side of the plate in parallel. At this time, even if there is something left on your plate, the waiter will know that you have finished eating and will take the plate away at the right time. The spoon is placed horizontally in the soup plate with the center of the spoon facing upwards, which also means that the soup tableware can be taken away.
I haven't finished eating yet.
The plate is gone. If you want to continue eating, open the knife and fork in a triangle, then the waiter won't take your plate away.
Step 3: Add food.
The plate is empty, but you still want to eat. Open the knife and fork in a figure of eight, and the waiter will give you more food.
If you are talking, you can hold the knife and fork, but if you need to gesture, you should put it down and never wave it in the air. It should be noted that at no time should one end of a knife and fork be placed on a plate and the other end on a table. It is particularly important to note that the blade side must face itself.
