From the waiter to the waitress, we talked about the food of the Republic of China. One of the biggest changes of the times is the transition from waiter to waitress. In this regard, the boss is the most active and the literati is the most sensitive. Traditionally in China, men farmed and women weaved, and men worked outside and women worked inside. Women did not work outside in public, otherwise they would be reduced to prostitution. At that time, some authors wrote articles in newspapers, talking about the so-called waitresses in history. In fact, they were prostitutes, or sexual advances, or singing and dancing. For example, "Poems of Waitresses" in the 11th issue of "Linglong" in 1936 said: "The beginning of a woman's role as a waitress is Zhuo Wenjun, and she is still called a waitress." This Zhuo Wenjun is just a special case, and it was Zhuo Wenjun's deliberate work, so that her grandfather would be ashamed and obediently come up with money to support her and Sima Xiangru, a couple who eloped, to achieve the purpose of "gnawing at the old age".
