"BBQ" is better translated as "smoked roast." The Chinese term "shao kao" (barbecue) corresponds better to the Western "grill." However, the term BBQ has been extended in usage to refer to family gatherings, outdoor meat roasting, and the like, and is habitually called BBQ, but that's not very professional." Su Yun said.

"Then we'll get SlowBoat Youhang's home‑brewed beer—if you don't like it, too bad." Su Yun decided directly: "The shop on Dongsi Ba Tiao is small and crowded, with many foreigners. The beer is not bad, and I like the atmosphere there; occasionally I can even flirt with foreign girls. But the boss wants it quiet, so there's nothing we can do. You say having a stall with an autistic boss—wouldn't that be stifling?"
