Jingzhou Banquet, eight cold dishes, ten hot dishes, four main courses, one soup, and one dessert.
While Chen Mo was driving, he summed up the common scene at a Jingzhou banquet, even when ordering in a restaurant.
The difference in price only affects the variety of dishes, but never reduces the number of dishes.
When guests are seated, there are already eight cold dishes on the table, with both meat and vegetables.
After the banquet ceremony ends, the waitstaff distributes utensils, and then the hot dishes begin to be served.
Various hot dishes follow one after another, often before one is finished, the next is already served. Some restaurant tables aren't big enough, often dishes are stacked on top of each other, leaving the ones below untouched.
Once everyone has nearly finished eating, the main courses are served.
Jingzhou is a province known for its noodles, having fewer main courses would be laughed at, so it starts with four different main courses.
