Happy Chinese (快乐汉语) Ep 013 - "Xiaoyong and Xiaohu" (小勇和小虎)

Susan (Maria Panait) and Mai Miao (Wu Xiaodan) have come to taste Xiaoyong's newly developed "Palatable Crayfish." They think it tastes good and decide they will come back that weekend. However, Xiaowei introduces them to "Xiaohu's Gourmand Crayfish," which everyone agrees is far more delicious than "Xiaoyong's Palatable Crayfish." So Susan and Mai Miao do not show up to Xiaoyong's restaurant as planned. Mai Miao does not want Xiaoyong to lose face, so she doesn't tell him the truth. Eventually, though, Susan spills the beans. So Xiaoyong studies all night and finally makes an improved "Palatable Crayfish." However, Susan still thinks Xiaohu's food is better.

苏珊（玛丽亚饰）和麦苗（吴晓丹饰）前来品尝小勇新研制的小勇香嘴虾，她们觉得味道不错，决定周末再来。可是到了周末她们却没有去。可是试吃之后让苏珊和麦苗对小勇感到很抱歉，原来小勇做的香嘴虾并不好吃，苏珊（玛丽亚饰）和麦苗（吴晓丹饰）因为不想让小勇没面子，所以才没有告诉他真相。最后小勇彻夜钻研，终于将真正美味的香嘴虾做了出来。但苏珊还是觉得小虎做的更好吃。 （快乐汉语 2009年 第13期）
