In Mandarin, everyone can understand the words human, natural, day, meat, and heat.

In Zibo dialect, it is len (人), which means LAN, ER, LE, and LE.

In Jiaodong dialect, it means Yin, Yan, Yi, You, Ye.

When talking about Japanese people, Zibo people call them "erbenlen (people)", and Jiaodong people call them "Yiboyin".

You see it’s different!

It is said that a hotel in Jinan, Shandong Province is a well-known restaurant. The various dishes are prepared with good color, aroma and taste. Foreign guests often come here to dine here. Local business units also like to arrange entertainment in this hotel.

On this day, a Japanese customer came to a certain company. The boss of the company wanted to treat him to the hotel and asked his secretary to call and order a meal.

The secretary is from Jiaodong. What did you say?

This is what he said: XX hotel?

I am XX company!

If "Yi Bo Yin" comes to dine at your hotel, please make arrangements!

The phone was hung up.

The person who answered the phone was a newcomer. He mistook "Yi Bo Yin" as "one hundred people". This was a group meal!

I immediately reported it to the manager on duty.

The manager said, what standard?

Remember in the future, you must ask clearly about this kind of thing!

This person was very smart and immediately called back and asked: Is this company XX?

A gentleman just called and said that a hundred people from your company came to my hotel for dinner. What are the standards?

The secretary happened to be away this time, and the person who answered the phone was the office director.

The director is from Zibo, and he became anxious when he heard it: Who said "one hundred (one) len (people) in the north"?

It's "two len (people)"!

The person who answered the phone quickly reported to the manager: There were not 100 people, but 200 people--this is a joke, isn't it?

There is also Laiwu dialect in Shandong, which is simply a foreign language!

Don’t believe it?

There is such a thing - last year, a foreign food inspection group came to Shandong to inspect Shandong cuisine and wanted to introduce Shandong cuisine to their country.

I heard that Laiwu is famous for its fried chicken, whole lamb soup, and meat dishes, so I went to Laiwu to investigate.

While walking, I saw an old lady sitting in front of the door, holding a cat and basking in the sun. Foreign friends greeted her politely, and the translator said according to local custom, "Old lady, foreign friends ask you what you are doing."

!

The old lady said: "The cat is tinkering"!

The foreign friends were overjoyed when they heard the name "Gu De Mao Ning". They thought the old lady could say hello in English, so they gave the old lady a small gift.

The old lady took it and took a look and said: I have it in Laiwu!

"When the foreigners heard this, they were surprised. The old lady really spoke English and could say "Ailawuyo!" He hugged the old lady when he was excited.
