Why do some people in the northern region squat when they eat? Do you like this way of eating?

I believe that when most people recall their childhood, they think that they still live in a mud house in the countryside, and it is not very convenient to use electricity at that time, and sometimes they have to light candles when the power goes out at night. When there is no electricity, basically everyone goes to bed as soon as it gets dark, and when it comes to dinner, if it is too late, it is basically dark with a bowl of rice at the door. At that time, living in the village, you can see that most people like to squat at the door of their own houses with rice bowls to eat, and the food is very fragrant, and after eating, they take the bowl in.

Some northern regions.

The reason why people like to squat at the door to eat is because the previous economic conditions were not very good, rural people are relatively poor, and the food grown at home is not necessarily enough, and it is very difficult to eat a full meal. The reason why these people squat to eat is to make themselves full, because when squatting, the food may be stuck in one place, at this time there will be a very strong sense of protection, and when they stand up, all the food will go to the stomach at once, and they will suddenly feel very full. After all, it was not easy to eat a full meal in the past, and farmers might have to go out to work after eating, and this feeling of satiety would make people feel down-to-earth.

And although the living conditions of rural people are not good, everyone is very warm and very hospitable, some people will squat at the door with a bowl or squat around with a bowl, and sometimes they will go to other people's homes to pick up vegetables to eat. Everyone squatted at the door during the meal, happily looking at what rice was in each other's bowls, and chatting together while holding the bowls. Although the process may seem boring, the people who eat are enjoyable and can also strengthen the bond between everyone.

In the past few decades, rural homes could not afford to install air conditioning, and at that time it was relatively hot in summer, even if the fan was turned on, the house still felt very stuffy, and there would be a lot of food flow. But if there is a shady slope, there may be a few gusts of wind, and it will feel particularly cool to squat at the door to eat at this time.

Some people in the northern region have the habit of squatting to eat, and they don't even sit on a stool when they have it, and there are many reasons for this!

1.Habits left over from the old days.

We all know that in the past, the family was very poor, and there were fewer furniture and seats, unlike now there are chairs and sofas. And at that time, people had more outdated concepts, and there were many children, and it was normal for each family to have seven or eight brothers and sisters!

There are many people and there are no seats, so they can only stand or squat to eat, and after a long time, it has become a habit!

Especially in summer, the house is stuffy, there is no fan, let alone air conditioning and the like, the only tool is Dapu, but I can't spare my hand to fan the fan when eating, so I squat and eat with a rice bowl to the yard or gate!

2.Early large collective labor.

I remember when I was very young, I used to work with my mother in the fields, sitting far away and watching the adults work.

At that time, it was a big collective, and it was still in charge of food at noon, and I carried my own rice bowl. Where is there a place to sit in the ground, at most there are a few bricks or small mounds of earth, so most people still choose to squat and eat!

Later, I thought that maybe this kind of meal time would be shorter, and I could work more time, after all, squatting for a long time is not very comfortable.

3.There is no entertainment in the leisure time, and it becomes interesting to get together and chat.

In the countryside, every house is very close to each other, even separated by a wall, in addition to doing farm work, people love to gather together to chat, or squat or stand, and even eat and chat!

For example, when everyone is in high spirits of chatting, it's time to eat, so they go home and get the dishes and chopsticks, and come out to eat with the rice, chatting while eating!

I don't like it, 1We all know the old habits, in the past, the family was poor, and there were fewer furniture and seats, unlike now there are chairs and sofas. 2.

In the early days of large group labor, I remember that when I was very young, I often followed my mother to work in the fields, and sat far away to watch the adults work. At that time, it was a big collective, and it was still in charge of food at noon, and I carried my own rice bowl.

Maybe it's a local habit! In the south, in the past, there were some people in the countryside who liked to eat and squat, but now people's ideas have changed. It's just out of sight, and to be honest: I don't like this way of eating.

I can't say that I like this way of eating, but I get used to it, and every family in the countryside does it! Often walking in the countryside, you can indeed meet a lot of people who eat with rice bowls and squatting, why do they squat to eat, roughly because of the following reasons.

First, look at the scenery and the pedestrians on the road;

Often in the countryside you will find that the people next to the highway prefer to eat out of the road, the farmer's house is generally a little higher than the highway, serve the food out to eat, look at the scenery, look at the cars and people on the road, meet someone you know, shout "have not eaten, come to eat."", people stopped for a few minutes and chatted a few words by the way, chatting and chatting and squatting down; In the countryside, if you are eating, it is rude to see someone you know and not ask someone to eat. Everyone knows it's a fake favor, but everyone is still used to asking like this!

Second, many rural families only know how to stir-fry vegetables in the morning, and eat leftovers in the morning at noon and evening;

Many rural people, only cook rice and stir-fry vegetables in the morning, noon and evening are to eat the leftovers made in the morning, the rural kitchen and the living room to eat table is a distance, one or two dishes are too lazy to serve over, put on the stove pot edge, take a bowl out to eat, bother to clean up the table, save some time to rest, and work again in the afternoon.

Three, eat at home, and the chickens will come in;

Every household in the countryside raises chickens, and when it is time to eat, the chickens also run into the house, and the is dirty everywhere, and a bowl is taken out to eat, so that the chickens can also come out, and it will not be dirty in the house.

Fourth, chat with neighbors;

Rural people open the door early in the morning to go out to do things, are busy working during the day, and close the door early at night to rest, when doing things in the fields are far apart, unlike people in the city who go to work, you can chat while doing things, only when you eat, you have time, cheer each other to chat, understand some village people and village affairs, so like to eat out with food. Because he held a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, it was not easy to hold a stool, so he squatted down while chatting, and he happened to be seen by people in the city, and he said that rural people like to squat and eat.

Fifth, it is related to the place where the peasants work;

It is related to the location of the farmer's work, which is also the most important point, many of the places where the farmer does work are in the wilderness, in the fields and mountains, not to mention the stool, and in some places you can't even find a stone, and squatting to eat is a must.

Human development to the present, many things have been formed, there are reasons, even necessary, please don't take a colored eye to look at the peasants squatting and eating, to understand others is to understand yourself!

I don't like it. 1.Because of poverty, the countryside in the past was very backward, especially at night when the house was dark and there was no light outside, in fact, this is one of the reasons why rural people like to squat at the door to eat.

2.In the summer, when it is too hot, the house will be very stuffy, and you will have to sweat a lot after eating a meal. 3.

and the neighbors are homely, and the rural people at that time liked to do homely cooking on the street. If there is something going on in the countryside, the neighbors will come to help, and this is also a major way to increase the affection of the neighborhood home.

Rural people are very simple, and they like to squat together in twos and threes when eating, chatting while eating, giving people a particularly down-to-earth feeling, and I personally prefer this feeling.

Mainly because I used to eat in the field, so I could only squat, but I didn't like that.

I'm a northerner, and I don't know if southerners like to squat to eat, so I'll talk about what I know why northerners like to squat and eat.

One more thing, imagine how unaccustomed the rural veterans who have just entered the city are to adapt to urban life. Thinking that it's not okay to squat at the door to eat, everyone is more tolerant and more responsible, don't dislike this and dislike that. In our country, there are several generations of urban population who have been born as farmers, and most of them are not from other places.

More understanding, more love, so that this society is full of harmony and beauty.

Because the weather in the north is very cold. I can't stretch my hands and feet when I eat. So squatting in the corner to eat will be very warm, and the food will be very fragrant.

It's not about liking, it's about the hard environment, and it's also the scene of hard-working, and this situation will disappear.

That kind of situation is very rare now, it was only a long time ago, when people's homes were very poor, and they would squat in the corners of the wall to eat.
