In the past,most Chinese people ate three meals at home.They had breakfast in the morning,
a big lunch at noon,and a happy supper in the evening.
But these days,both men and women in big cities have to work on weekdays.They often eat
breakfast in a hurry —sometimes at home; some-times in their offices.They usually have bread,eggs,milk or porridge.Most people don’t have enough time to enjoy their lunch at home,so
take-away food is very popular.Working people often get a quick lunch near their working places.After a day of hard work,many people want a big supper.So everybody tries to get home to stay with his or her family.Wives often cook meat,fish,chicken,vegetables and rice.You can also find dumplings and noodles on the table in most families in the north of China.
