In a busy Chinese 餐厅 (restaurant | cāntīng), an elderly woman carefully examines the 菜单 (menu | càidān). She looks up at the 服务员 (waiter | fúwùyuán) with concern, “Is this 素食 (vegetarian | sùshí)?” while pointing to a dish.
The waiter smiles, “Yes, it’s 纯素 (purely vegan | chún sù). No 肉 (meat | ròu) or 动物制品 (animal products | dòngwù zhìpǐn).”
Relieved, she nods and orders the dish. She then asks about her 茶 (tea | chá) to make sure it’s suitable for vegans. The waiter reassures her, “Our tea is completely 纯素.”
The woman smiles, reassured and ready to enjoy her meal.
