rezaenglish,

I hope you realize that the seller (Carlos) does not speak English as a native. He is not a native speaker, and he has learned just enough English to do his job. His pronunciation is not native, and his grammar is often incorrect.

The interviewer is not being very nice. By asking "Tell me why you call this sliced cucumber", he is telling Carlos that it's wrong to call it sliced cucumber.

Here's a cucumber:

Here is sliced cucumber:

"Sliced cucumber because used in slice when you use in salad."

Carlos is trying to say this:

Cucumbers are cut into slices when they are used in salad.

And maybe Carlos was trying to say that those cucumbers are good for slicing and using in salads.
