One of my aunts in China told me a couple of interesting stories when I visited them a few years back.
One day she went to a store to shop for a kitchen knife. She looked at different knives but couldn't decide what to buy.
She pointed at one of them and asked the sales lady: "Is this a sharp knife?"
The lady said: "No, it's not very sharp." My aunt felt kind of weird, and left without buying anything.
Another day, she passed by a vendor who sold bread. She had some money in her pocket and wanted to spend it, so she asked the shop girl: "Is this bread fresh?"
The girl said: "It's not very fresh."
