我见到成车都係李。

I saw the whole car full of plums

我就问老世。

I asked the shopkeeper

Buyer

Buyer

结果,

ngo5 hou2 jing6 zan1 gam2 gaan2 zo2 gei2 sap6 go3. 

我好认真咁拣咗几十个。

I picked 20-30 plums carefully.

git3 gwo2 dou3 cing3 go2 zan6, 

结果到秤嗰阵,

Then when it weighs,

keoi5 gam6 zo2 go3 luk6 man1 jat1 gan1

佢揿咗个六蚊一斤。

He pressed “¥12/kg”

gong2 zan1 laa3!

讲真喇!

To be honest,

 ngo5 jat1 hoi1 ci2 tung4 keoi5 gong2 pou2 tung1 waa2, 

我一开始同佢讲普通话,

I spoke Mandarin to him at the beginning.

keoi5 tung4 ngo5 gong2 baak6 waa2.

佢同我讲白话。

He speaks Cantonese to me,

 daan6 hai6 jau6 loeng5 tung4 luk6 dou1 gaau2 m4 cing1~

但係又两同六都搞唔清~

But he can’t figure out 2 and 6

 ngo5 waai4 ji4 keoi5 hai6 zyun1 dang1 ge3!

我怀疑佢係专登嘅!

I doubt that he is on purpose.
