Welcome back to my channel.

Today we are going out to eat.

Today, through the things we encounter in the restaurant,

and some simple, easy-to-understand Chinese expressions,

I'll guide you through comprehensible input

to learn Chinese.

After you guys come to China,

at many of our restaurants,

you can order food on your phone

using online apps.

On these online platforms,

buying set meals

is much more cost-effective.

And then, there's also a bowl.

Alternating between cold and hot.

We want both the pleasure and the health.

Young people are just like this.

Wet wipes, because eating seafood

might get a lot of food on your hands

or oil, so we use this wet wipe to clean our hands.

When we cook seafood here,

we often add some seasonings to it.

For example, we can see scallions on this abalone.

This green one is scallion.

And this white one is garlic.

They will put scallion and garlic on the seafood,

and maybe add some glass noodles on the side.

Eating them together like this,

this dish is very fresh and delicious.

She put on gloves.

Eating seafood definitely requires these gloves.

Because we have to peel the shrimp or crab.

Put on the gloves.

These gloves,

generally we only use them once.

Only use once.

Not used repeatedly.

So we call these gloves 'disposable gloves'.

Disposable gloves mean you only use them once.

There are many tools

that are not reused,
