My mother runs a restaurant. She is from southern Fujian. I heard her say, "I'm not afraid to eat rice." Ask the villagers in southern Fujian, this sentence

That's right, that is to say, a restaurant owner can't be afraid of eating a lot. Since normal restaurants provide rice for free, no matter how much you eat, it is not a meal, and people who eat a lot refer to people who are courageous. This sentence means that no matter how big the guests eat, they should be satisfied, and they should not care about this meal in order to save costs. Generally speaking, you can't care too much about small profits in business. Sometimes it is more important to be generous and give customers a good impression.
