ya mian bao

So there I was at the coffeeshop, ordering duck noodle for takeaway.

Me: Ya mian, bao. (Duck noodle, takeaway)

[Lady from shop behind me]

Aunty: Mian bao? Wo men you zhi shi mei you ya er yi. [Bread? We have, only lacking the duck]

[Duckman daos her while I politely smile and roll my eyes inwardly]

Sometimes people need not be too enthusiastic. Especially when cracking cold jokes at 9 in the morning.
