Fighting Over the Bill with a Stranger in CHINESE？！ ┐(‘～`;)┌ 陌生人请我们吃个饭！我们根本不知道怎么反应！

[@raymondtang1262]

JJ speaks so crazy fast. Just blew me away. Her mom is also unbelievable that she can speak, even some Cantonese. When the East and the West can blend like this, it just feels so warm inside. Much respect to you both 🙏

[@josephmessina4832]

definitely!! i wish we could all just get along😪

[@arcsta_rr]

It's beautiful. It's truly something unique!

[@TheRealSovereignCitizens]

I put it to .75 playback speed just to try and keep up, I'm a slow reader :)

[@b028092]

這種情況雪蓮應該說 :我們還沒點完，點完你再買單。 哈哈

[@AS-tq8er]

好欣賞雪蓮，感覺她是一位努力和積極的女孩子。心地又善良交到好多朋友。

[@weiliang6646]

Thank you for showing us the food from my hometown. The taro cake is my favorite, it is called "triangular cake" because of its shape, and also "Wo Wei" in Fuzhounese. Gotta try Knish some time to see how it tastes!

[@ZzrozZ]

When a random Chinese pays the food. They do it in exchange for friendship. It means they are looking forward in knowing you.

[@chis7725]

Love this channel! When we learn from one another, the world becomes a better place.

[@MultiCklee]

wishful thinking....americans are preventing the rise of china every opportunity they get....

[@matiaschinchilla8294]

JJ I love your vids! You are my inspiration to learn chinese :D

[@梦]

Haha itz normal in chinese culture. After few fighting u can say. "ok, next time itz my turn to treat you~ thank you"

[@codingninja9287]

i think the man wants you to be the spokesperson of his company hahaha

[@RonLarhz]

Or lake use of her as free translator. He used the meal to pressure her.

[@fabionogueira7750]

JJ please keep posting this kind of video, it help us to study and keep me motivated :D

[@hermyt]

My grandparents then I use to live nearby, that Chinatown been there for decades but expanded a lot in the last 15 years. A lot of Fujianese moved in.

[@dericwarchild]

love your new video, great to see you n moms out together. tbh everytime i go eat at chinese restaurant nowadays, i really wish i could talk to the, like you... i show my family your videos. n you always sould soo better than xioama

[@peter8872]

I heard fighting to pay the bill is common in Chinese culture haha

[@kolinahrroo5039]

In Arab cultures as well.

[@jeffreyho3636]

Just not for a stranger to pay for it

[@ZhangtheGreat]

It is, but it's not common for a total stranger to offer to pay a bill. The gentleman clearly was looking for something in return (which isn't a bad thing of course; exchanging favors is a normal part of the culture).

[@chill.2107]

In italy too

[@szewei85]

Haha its old culture after all

[@ahkoy973]

You are full of life and enthusiasm JJ.. love it..

[@LWang-li5rx]

The restaurant owner looks sooo cool, besides Im so glad that you guys enjoy your trip in China..

[@ljzljz2886]

这个大叔很慷慨

[@OkkkkOO366]

5:00 Oh you look so pretty in the light 雪莲妈妈的反应😂😂😂

[@kenxd585]

5:42 JJ IS SO PRETTY WHEN SHE LAUGHS AND THE “oh shit” and wii music edit killed me

[@MisterSketcher]

I love these kind of videos

[@krupab8619]

So sweet of that guy! I'm Indian, it is just a asian nature in us to cover the bill and fight over lol. Also love how your mom also has learned to speak with you so cute!

[@kenxd585]

Hi is so pretty and I love her relationship with her mom

[@jimmymars619]

Dear JJ: Your awesome vid.really inspires me to live like your happy,fun,friendly nostalgical atmosphere in between the two different cultures of Western and chinese.

[@dunny2210]

Thank you for what you do. You are an awesome person and keep spreading love.

[@failun3284]

[@johnnytang1]

雪莲, you and your mama are the stars now ! Don't be surprised strangers would buy you meals out of respect and love from your great channel.

[@冯泠皓]

雪莲好可爱

[@劉文-t2q]

看到你們都很開心，我媽媽是台山人，所以我也是半個台山人呢！

[@delsol1967]

Hokkien (福建话) and Minnan are the same dialect. Both came from Fujian. In South East Asia, the dialect is known as Hokkien whereas in Taiwan, it is known as Minnan. It's a difference in the name.

[@afriend9428]

*J J you are so pretty!!!* ❤️

[@ClementYit]

雪莲，妳应该在美国开中文课，命名为“老外教中文”😆

[@sckwong2010]

雪蓮 好棒呀 妳令中美文化 融化在一起 So great

[@wggglggg]

JJ不知道说什么？ JJ可以说：“下次我请你”，胖大叔一定会很高兴

[@石三上年]

外国人确实不知道应该怎么回答了，说下回我请你确实很合适

[@aftereffects00]

的确是。。外国人不了解我们这样的传统 。。啊我请 我请 你不要和我争。。哈哈哈。。

[@lolahou9120]

My favourite boba is passionfruit green tea! 我也最喜欢百香果录茶！

[@relaxwhc]

Mandarin: Wo yao chi fan Cantonese: Ngo oi sek fan Hokkien: Wa ai jia beng

[@llantony1560]

Yeah what that meaning ?

[@relaxwhc]

@@llantony1560 I want to eat rice Yo quiero comer arroz Ich möchte Reis essen Saya mahu makan nasi

[@kasaneteto986]

밥 먹고싶어요

[@RonLarhz]

芋头is yam. It's popular in sg n taiwan

[@juniorhernandez1945]

6:49 when that man said "没问题-英文，普通话，广东话-我们都可以“, it reminded me of how amazing immigrants are, they already have to deal with so many obstacles coming to America and somehow all of them have managed to learn 2 or more languages. There are too many Americans that are unwilling to learn another language. Americans need to start learning more than one language or else they will continue missing out on these beautiful interactions.

[@tracytu1990]

在小吃店那个场景就跟我们有时外面吃饭遇到熟人，别人或自己给对方买单时所表现的一样，先是礼貌婉拒但对方盛情难却然后起身感谢以示接受，最后一方先行离开时再次致意表示感谢…雪莲已经无意间get到中国人“客气”的精髓了～哈哈哈

[@austinfan7678]

真实

[@gohfai]

This movie is very interesting and unique,support.

[@parker3138]

Great seeing your friends in this video!

[@lukeabreu9617]

Just saw you guys at walmart richmond haha

[@melse-learndotcom8352]

WOW.. Fluent Mandarin and can speak a bit cantonese as well. Impressive.

[@supertrouper]

If you had taken the N train from the 8th Avenue N train station here in the Sunset Park Chinatown to the 18th Avenue N train station or Bay Parkway N train station, you could have been able to check out these two other Brooklyn Chinatowns of Bensonhurst as well, but as I commented in one of your recent videos, the 86th Street Chinatown between 18th to 25th Avenues under the D train stations, which is the third Chinatown of Bensonhurst is the one I would recommend even more so as it is more diversely vibrant and has better quality choices of eateries and stores selling various products and don't forget the giant Jmart supermarket at New Utrecht Avenue and 81st Street near the 18th Ave D train station. There is also another small Chinatown in Sheepshead Bay right at the Q train station at Avenue U, which I never mentioned. As commented from your recent videos, the Bensonhurst's split up Chinatowns are mostly Cantonese speaking as well as the Sheepshead Bay Chinatown is also mostly Cantonese.

[@lbb2rfarangkiinok]

Why do you say 仙草 but the translation says 凉粉？ I am just curious. I always thought xian cao were the black jelly cubes while liang fen is the more opaque version made from the same thing, but I am not totally sure.

[@LeandraMaphorisa]

你真了不起！我想有一天在你的水平上发言😄❤

[@godtolove6984]

这是唐人街吗？我的天啊，怎么感觉跟我们老家一样.....一股家乡味，怀念

[@pingkwanchow4382]

加油，雪蓮普通話非常好，廣東話還要再努力！

[@clarahan.]

Woah! You are really good!!!

[@relaxwhc]

Are there any hakka in the neighborhood?

[@CaptainGrimes1]

Good old gangxi lol he buys your lunch, you do his translation

[@fifteenmilliondollars382]

不错！不错！雪莲

[@That_dude_who_knows_some_stuff]

[@johnaldrinching9390]

Chinese people are very nice once you win their affection.

[@paulvon2378]

JJ is a sweetie.

[@biankaponyokai2517]

I really like watching your videos. 我是匈牙利人。😁

[@gary8677]

That is the traditional fuzhounese taro triangles. We eat it in the morning and it’s delicious!!

[@ZhangtheGreat]

Is it the same as the Nanjing style 糍粑?

[@chimingmak9368]

It's very intimate. It's very touching.

[@francolo4792]

雪蓮你的普通話很牛(頂瓜瓜)👍👍👍

[@Crom21]

I like this episode. haha.

[@laikokhua946]

Is there a lot of Theochew people ??

[@gestalt_4020]

天 感觉JJ好有中文天赋 哈哈哈

[@SwZap]

福州人是说福州话的，和厦门、漳州、泉州的闽南话相互听不懂的，但是厦门、漳州、泉州人可以听懂台语，大概像英国人听美国英语吧（口音有点差别，但用词差别可能比较大；因为台语中有一些外来词的说法和大陆有不同） 【我是泉州人，也姓Chen😂 按我故乡的“习俗”，交朋友基本相当于请客吃饭，而且必须由一方完全买单（逻辑是，如果AA制，那么吃完之后就散了，谁也不欠谁的，就没有其他太多机会发展关系了；如果是请客，朋友就有再聚一次的理由了，大家就是这样在饭桌上培养感情的）下面有人评论说是为了赖掉JJ给他做翻译的工钱……其实普通的福建人都很淳朴的，他可能真的是因为很开心认识这个朋友才请客的，下次如果JJ请他出来吃饭，我猜还是会被他抢着买单😂我觉得JJ可以做个follow-up，看看我说的靠不靠谱【当然不排除遇到一些奇葩，不然莆田系是怎么来的

[@jochenschmidt3624]

where did your mom learn chinese?

妳的中文太棒啦，特别北京味儿！！！订阅啦！希望妳也喜欢我们的户外生活视频！

想福州

[@mjwatson6205]

Back when we met I lived there. You will hear 5 dialects there: mostly mandarin, fujianese, Cantonese, toy San and Wenjianese.

[@chrish9155]

Where is this?

[@jennyliu7109]

I begin to really like her.

[@大洋-n6v]

中華閩南台語 大多來自中國福建廈門 泉州 漳州 等地 所謂的台灣話只加了點點日語、荷蘭語以及真正台灣人 台灣原先住民的用語! 大約不超過10% 主體還是閩南語 而閩南語與福建省其他方言也不太一樣 中華民族是非常多民族融合而成 大多都能懂中國語普通話

[@chonglouis3615]

omg you can speak Cantonese!!! Awesome

[@jaggerwang1998]

哈哈 我的长乐老乡，真太典型了吧，抢着买单。那个一块钱一个的是三角糕，刚榨出来酥脆的时候很好吃。福州的扁肉皮比较薄，比起馄炖我个人感觉口感要好一些。
