    If it’s just this way for Chinese families then yea I can’t fw that style specifically. Had me making pecking duck rolls and then getting up to walk to the other side of the room to put it on someone else’s plate.

    f***ing dying literally lol

    Last two pages 😭😭

    😭😭😭😭😭 r u eating w work ppl or family or

    Ive only done those dinners w family
    But i always look at the menu pick what i want first and other ppl get what they want and we share lol
    Like theres a few ppl ordering and some ppl dont care

    Or on occasion i order most of the stuff even for the table

    Regardless i know i have a few dishes i want

    And i just roll the lazy susan around and serve myself when what i want somethinf 😭💀
    Like i dont wait for the food to come to me im spinning rhat s*** and ill pause it for ppl if they look like they want aomething

    I do pour tea for ppl
    But a lot of the banquet style dinners we r in a bao fang and the server is on tea duty
    And splitting of like
    Soups and fish
    So u dont need to do anythinf

    I fl it tho
    Thats why u need to go to a noodle resto in china for ur own bowl of noodles
    Or hotpot
    Or like street food
    Tbh theres a lot of single person portion places esp for casual lunches

    Id literallt eat all the pork belly we can just order more 😭😭😭😭😭 banquet dinners r abundance mindset

    Dang

    Ya it sound like ur wifes family is just super od

    Was she serving ppl? It could be that she really really wanted you to make the absolute craziest best impression on them if thats ur first time meeting them
    Then as u grow more close w them itll let up? Unless shes doing that s*** too then GG

    Bc if i had my bf do that w my fam i think theyd honestly be confused shocked and unsure how to stop him since no one my mom or dads side is that crazy intense

    Another thing is
    Do u speak chinese?
    That might be a difficult factor
    Bc ppl offer to serve me and im like “no nono its REALLY ok i want to save room for xyz :)))” and theyll chuckle completely leave me alone and even sometimes MAKE SURE that when the thing i want comes it spins to me first

    And maybe bc im american and mostly, if not fully, theyre just family so theres no expectation to serve anyone except pouring tea which is just polite if your own tea is empty to fill any empty cups

    Also idk what part of china is ur fam from bc we eat as dishes come out bc everyone hates cold food

    And we will kill the dish if we want to to make space for more stuff
    Or even pack it if its rly been sitting

    And no one on my moms or dads side smokes or drinks, esp no smoking in the resto
    And we rly dont go to places that would even let u smoke

    ya the priv rooms w the tables w the spinning lazy susan r called bao fang 包房

    Idk i fl bad thats ur only exp w eating in china bc its 99.999% not that way unless i feel like ur literally trying to bribe a government official or taking clients out lol
    Aint no way u shld be carrying a piece of food halfway around the room for just a family member

    Like regular ppl just go to the beef noodle soup shop down the block or order pizza hut on a takeout app or something lmao

    And even the 包房 family dinners or family friends are with ppl that are family that you inherently shouldnt need to spend that much energy bullshitting lmao

    I get dinner w my extended family in those rooms w the table family style and if i rly want the half duck ill just say the ducks soooo good its my favorite and ppl will literally keep offering me duck until im genuinely sick of eating it 😭😭😭😭 no shame or weird looks

    And i myself probably ordered the duck anyway

    One thing you can say if ppl r trying to serve you is to emphatically say “饿哟自己来,自己来,真的自己来”
    Bscly: oh no its ok, i can serve myself, its really ok!
    Whenever someone tries to serve you and theyll stop after the second time
    And then if ur rly over it
    “饿哟自己来,我们都是亲戚,大家自己来吧”
    bscly: oh no its ok, i can serve myself—we’re all family here, lets each serve ourselves
    And the response should be like “yes yes we’re all relatives here, we’re all relatives here” and ppl will chill tf out

    Basically u gotta rizz the room

    But overall ya im not carrying a chicken wing acdoss the room to give to someone else j bc so i hear ur frustration

    Im j rly tryna rally for chinese food n bao fang meals bc chinese foods so good
    And bao fang meals r like a buffet where u can try anything and just eat what u want

    Ya 😭😭😭 hopefully next time she can like speak on ur behalf to dispell the bullshit bc i think it wldvr rly helped if u spoke chinese bc theres defs some key phrases ppl say to make ppl chill out w the servinf back and forth and getting more food they want lol

    😭 it sucks u cant bc then u cant rly ward off that energy for urself

    But its probs bc u also just got married then and she wants to make a insanely good impression
    I dont see a 6 hour dinner happening otherwise lol nor any of the other bullshit
    Ur not bribing a gov official
    But ur wife probablt wanted to bribe her family n fam friends into strong positivity towards u
    Esp if they were really adamant abt her marrying chinese
    She probably was over compensating
