翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Sigh. What should we eat tonight?
Huahua: Don’t you like beef noodles? The shop near the train station has a special offer, let’s go line up.
Qingqing: Why is there a special offer? I didn’t notice that.
Huahua: Because it’s the International Beef Noodle Festival — the best time for beef noodle lovers.
Qingqing: Then let’s go together tonight. My treat.
Huahua: Great. I had the braised one last time, but it was a bit spicy. I want to try the clear-broth one today.
Qingqing: The clear-broth soup is really good. I’ve had it many times, and it tastes just as good as the braised one.
Huahua: In that case, I’ll order a large bowl. Thanks for the heads up.
