I don't know what the first phrase means - it might mean
"not seeing pockets" or something. "Bu la" means "not hot,"
so that could be handy. "Bu yao la" would mean "don't want
hot." "Bu yao la jiao" would mean "no hot pepper." I'm sure
there are a lot of folks more Chinese than I who could help
(after all, I'm only somewhat Chinese).
