It is a remnant from the Northern Song Dynasty, as a form of etiquette and being polite, to not to disturb them while eating.
“凡往见人,入门必问主人食否 […] 度无所妨,乃命展剌。有妨则少俟。”
“Whoever you visit, you should ask them if they have eaten or not […] if they are about to eat, don’t enter the house until after they finish the meal. Otherwise, you would be intruding.”
From the book “Lü Convention” 《吕氏乡约》
