Correct me if I'm wrong. When speaking in mandarin there's a phrase I'm looking for that means a little. You use it when ordering food. I think it might also be the word for two Liang or liao I remember it from the first episode of scissor 7 when the were ordering the beef stew. Could you please remind me

Could you put in(to) this place the original Chinese sentence from the first episode of scissor 7 when they (not the here , maybe it is your typo) were ordering the beef stew? Could you type that original Chinese in Chinese ? I will be glad to fully explain all your query about the phrase you are looking for that needs a little, and I 'll try my best to let you correctly understand all sorts of phrases expressing the “a little” By the way, from the “the first episode of SCISSOR ” I guess “SCISSOR ” here is the name of a Chinese famous cartoon named as 《刺客伍六七》: 它是一部以小人物的温情江湖为内核的国产原创2D武侠喜剧动画。主角伍六七原本是玄武国暗影刺客组织中最强的刺客“柒”… (→ English version: It is a domestic original 2D martial arts comedy animation with the core of a warm martial arts world of ordinary people. The protagonist Wu Liuqi (伍六七) was originally "Qi"(柒), the strongest assassin in the Shadow Assassin Organization of Xuanwu Kingdom... 剧情以伍六七完成各种荒谬刺杀任务为线索,如刺杀汪峰,阿婆,美少女等,每个任务背后都藏着小人物的悲欢离合,他几乎从未真正完成过刺杀,而是用剪刀化解了人与人之间的误解与仇恨,传递出“爱与包容”的主体。 (→ English version: The plot revolves around Wu Liuqi (伍六七)carrying out various absurd assassination missions, such as assassinating Wang Feng(a male 's name “汪峰” ), Granny, and a beautiful girl. Behind each mission lie the joys and sorrows of ordinary people. He has almost never truly completed an assassination; instead, he uses Scissors to resolve misunderstandings and hatred between people, conveying the theme of "love and tolerance".

In that episode he said: 来一个牛杂. For ordering food, you can start the sentence with 来一[measure word] and then followed with the food you want. 两 means two. In some expressions, it means a little, for example 一两句, that can be interpreted as a few words.
