Chapter 744: Wandering in London on a Budget (Part 1)
"Hey, Senior Fang Ran, are you an exchange student coming to London too?"
In downtown Stratford, London, on the edge of a street full of British architectural styles, I was moved to tears by the fact that the person I met by chance turned out to be a schoolgirl from Peking University.
Following Tang Bing through the crowd, from time to time, passers-by heard conversations in pure English. When Fangran, who had finally been saved, heard her ask, he looked straight at Mr. Tang on her red coat. duck,
One moment it becomes Arctic roast duck, the next moment it becomes Nanjing salted duck...
"Exchange student...? How did you know?"
Suddenly hearing her say the name "exchange student", Fangran was startled for a moment as he was about to stop thinking. Then he saw Tang Bing next to him, his eyes widening in a cute way, and he naturally spread his hands.
"After all, senior, your student information is still at Beijing University. If you are not studying abroad, what else can you be besides being a regular exchange student between schools."
When she said this, she pursed her lips and rolled her eyes with a "what more to say" look on her face.
"Otherwise, the National Day holiday in China is over. Could it be possible, senior, that you skipped school and traveled here?"
Fangran(; ̄д ̄)....
Well... Strictly speaking, I skipped school and came here secretly...
"By the way, why didn't I see you, senior, when we set out for this semester? Did you fly here by yourself after something happened at that time?"
Following a genuine school girl who was different from the pirated and parallel-imported Peking University students like myself, I was walking on the way to the supermarket. I watched her turn to look at me and asked curiously. After a few simple chats, I found out that this girl was wearing a red coat of Donald Duck. Girl, her character is exactly the same as what I imagined.
While he is wary of others, he is also cheerful and cheerful. From the beginning, he never let the atmosphere become awkward due to unfamiliarity. He has always been very lively in provoking topics.
All in all, she gives Fangran the impression that she is a energetic girl with high social skills.
Although it is not impossible to lie here and follow her words and say that I am also an exchange student in London, a certain senior here who is good at lying and committing suicide wants to teach everyone a little trick.
That is, instead of lying in an area that you are completely unclear about but the other party is relatively familiar with, it is better to make up a new setting that the other party does not understand at all and lie about it. Even if you do not understand it yourself, the probability of being exposed is much smaller.
"Ah, I'm not actually an exchange student in London. I came to the UK with my tutor to participate in a computer-related competition. But something happened and I was left in London alone and unfamiliar with the place."
Seeing the school girl blinking her big eyes and asking herself, Fangran slightly moved his eyes and brought out the character design he had just thought of three minutes ago. Then he felt that it was not good to keep asking people to stir up the topic. After thinking about it, he was also curious. asked:
"By the way, junior fellow student, are you an exchange student at Beijing University this time?"
"Yes, one of the two most fortunate and lucky things in my life was that I was specially recruited by Beijing University because of my English."
Hearing Fang Ran ask this question, Tang Bing seemed to still be able to feel the nervous clenching of his small fists, and then he was so excited that he almost jumped up with excitement.
"Then the second thing was that after working hard for a semester and a summer vacation, I was actually able to study abroad for a year in this city that I had been looking forward to for more than ten years!"
"Study abroad, it sounds like it's very powerful..."
Seeing her look like this, Fang Ran was slightly stunned and murmured, which made Tang Bing realize that he was a little too excited for the person he was meeting for the first time. He stuck out his tongue and said in embarrassment:
"Well...but there is no such thing as you, senior, who can really get into Beijing University..."
"Well...ahem, it's not that bad..."
overseas study.
This thing sounds high-end and grand, let’s not say whether it is really good or bad, but in a new country that you like, experiencing exotic customs and a new environment while starting a fulfilling and interesting study career, perhaps every student imagines dream.
"Then which university in London did Beijing University arrange for you this time?"
Of course, Fangran, who had thought about this kind of thing before, suddenly asked curiously,
Then I saw Tang Bing giving a thumbs up with a bright face.
“Queen Mary, University of London, is amazing!”
"Oh, it sounds very impressive..."
Tang Bing's topic also aroused my interest in studying abroad. Although you don't have to think about the powerful people in the night game, such as Sister Ye Sheng and Sister Su Xing, they must have similar resumes, but this is the first time I met someone studying abroad. peer,
As a scumbag boy who was born and raised in China, Fangran asked the question with an eager look that probably every boy who yearns for a career studying abroad is curious about.
"There are a lot of beauties in foreign countries. If I come to study abroad, I can be single easily?"
The moment Tang Bing succeeded, he was speechless. He looked at him expressionlessly and silently said:
"There are a lot of gold bars in the bank, senior, why don't you grab them."
Fangran: "..."
School girl, is it so real...
Wandering on the streets of London, where European-style buildings are adjacent, I passed foreign men and women with fair skin and high noses. I watched the red double-decker bus passing by with various signs in English. I was led by the ponytail swaying in front of me. , walking through this exotic maze that dazzled Fangran with the British atmosphere,
While chatting unexpectedly and having a lot of fun, Fangran noticed that the curbs in London were very shallow, and that in some places there were no such details at all. Fangran finally heard the sentence he wanted to hear the most.
"Senior, we are here."
Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo!
When the constant voice in his stomach was almost playing Spanish Matador, he followed Tang Bing and Fangran finally came to the place where he could solve the second goal, but...
Looking at the sign on the building in front of him, Fangran felt that he had seen this word before when he was lost.
He asked Tang Bing next to him with a complicated and serious look:
"That school girl, the place where this word is written is a supermarket!?"
Tang Bing, who was confused by his question, rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Otherwise, senior, you might think that supermarkets abroad say supermaket or something like shopping on them."
That's what Fang thought: "..."
If you hadn't told me this was a supermarket, just looking at this single flat building with the bright 24-hour sign from a distance, I would have thought it was a gas station...
I'm so stupid, really.
...
...
Speaking of London prices,
What is the first instinctive reaction of someone who knows nothing about this?
Is it expensive? Are things expensive?
Do you think that the consumption level in a big city like London must be high?
However, the answer is...
Not exactly.
With 10 pounds in his pocket, he rushed into this store with hungry eyes. If Fang Ran had nothing to do and wanted to help Gou Yu with some errands, he would have known with some common sense that this was actually a supermarket called Tesco in China. When he entered the store A moment, how should I put it...
A dazzling scene with bright yellow lights, bright and neat decorations came into Fangran's field of vision.
Various products are neatly placed on the shelves. Fruits are packaged in bags and illuminated by lights. In some spacious aisles, foreign women push shopping carts. All labels except for numerical prices are in English. It really feels like being in London.
He dived into the food aisle and looked at the rows of food. He felt satisfied and happy, but he was quite uneasy about only having 10 pounds in his pocket. Fangran first looked at the price of a bag of butter bread, above. What does it say Bread800G...
NOW!70P
(°—°lll)? P?
He stared at this unit that he didn't recognize at all in a daze for a second, feeling deeply confused about how much the price was.
Is the symbol for pound sterling P?
It’s embarrassing to say that Fangran only knows the symbol of foreign currencies: the U.S. dollar.
This is because I always watched Tom and Jerry when I was a kid...
But in fact, P is not the symbol of the pound. The United Kingdom, which feels that the local currency is very important, is relatively resistant to the euro, so in the United Kingdom, in addition to the pound, there is also a subsidiary currency, the penny.
1 pound = 100 pence,
That is, 1£=100P.
After Fangran stared at a bag of bread for a minute, scaring away a woman next to him, he rummaged through the text of "Four Pennies" that he had forgotten when he was a child. Think about it.
Damn it! A bag of bread only costs 0.7 pounds! ?
Then after realizing this, a bunch of numerical prices rolled through his mind. Fangran looked at the 10 pounds in his hand in disbelief, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face, doubting life.
That being said...the ten dollars I spent seemed to be well spent! ?
After thinking about this, Fangran, who had known that the pound was valuable before, but did not expect it to be so valuable, suddenly fell into deep thought. While staring at the shelves in front of him and swallowing,
Suddenly, I felt a little bit guilty about the knife-wielding robber who was beaten by me last night... ahem, and had his hand cut off in an act of righteousness.
Well, okay, I shouldn’t call him a poor guy. I hope that guy can help him get a 120...
(°▽°丶)? Hey, by the way, when calling an ambulance in the UK, do you call 120?
