Susan (Maria Panait) hears that there is a famous Chinese dish, Peking duck, so she wants to eat it, but Mai Miao's parents can't cook it. Mai Miao's father knows that Peking duck has been offered in Xiaoyong's restaurant recently, so he calls Xiaoyong and arranges for Susan to go to and eat roast duck. However, when the duck is served in thin slices, Susan feels that the duck should be served whole and that she's been cheated. She tells Mai Miao about it, and Mai Miao goes to Xiaoyong to settle the account. Susan returns to Mai Miao's house and tells Mai Miao's parents about eating roast duck. Only then does she realize roast duck is SUPPOSED to served in slices, and she knows that she has misunderstood Xiaoyong, so she apologizes to him.
