Chapter 744: The Budget-Conscious London Wandering (Part I)
Eh, Senior Fang Ran, are you also an exchange student in London? ”
In the downtown area of Stratford, London, on the side of the street full of British architectural style, I was moved to tears by the fact that the person I met by chance was a student of Beijing University at the same time.
Shuttling through the crowd behind Tang Bing, there were conversations in English from passers-by in his ears from time to time, and when Fang Ran, who had finally been redeemed, heard her ask, he looked directly at Donald Duck on her red coat,
One will become an Arctic roast duck, and the other will become a Nanjing saltwater duck...
"Exchange students...? How do you know? ”
Suddenly hearing her say the name of the exchange student, Fang Ran, who was already about to strike, was slightly stunned, and then saw Tang Bing's eyes wide open like a cute seller beside him, and it was a matter of course to spread his hands.
"After all, senior, your student information is still in Beijing University, if it's not studying abroad, what else can it be except for regular exchange students for inter-school exchanges."
Speaking of this, she flattened her mouth and rolled her eyes with a look of 'what else to say'.
"Otherwise, the eleventh long holiday in China is over, senior, can't you skip class and travel?"
Fang Ran(;  ̄д ̄)....
Forehead... Strictly speaking, I skipped class and traveled smuggling...
"Anyway, when I left this semester, why didn't I see you, senior, did you come by plane after something happened at that time?"
Walking on the way to the supermarket with a genuine student who is different from her own pirated parallel goods Beijing University, watching her turn her head to look at herself and asking curiously, after a few simple chats, she found that this girl in a Donald Duck red coat was exactly the same as the character she imagined,
Vigilant and sunny at the same time.,From just now, I didn't let the atmosphere become awkward because of unfamiliarity.,It's been very lively to provoke topics.,
In short, Fang Ran feels like a vitality girl with high social skills.
Although it's not impossible to lie here and follow her words to say that she is also an exchange student in London, a certain senior here who is good at lying and dying wants to teach you a little trick.
That is, instead of talking nonsense in a field that you don't know at all and the other party knows better, it's better to make up a new setting that the other party doesn't understand at all and lie, even if you don't know it yourself, the probability of exposure is much smaller.
"Ah, I'm not actually an exchange student in London, I came to the UK with my mentor to participate in a computer competition, but there was an accident and I was left in London alone."
Seeing the senior sister blinking her big eyes and asking herself, Fang Ran slightly moved her eyes out of the character she had just thought of three minutes ago, and then felt that it was not good to let people stir up topics all the time, and after thinking about it, he also asked curiously:
"By the way, senior sister, you are an exchange student of Beijing University this time?"
"Yes, one of the two luckiest and luckiest things in my life was that I was recruited by Beijing University in English,"
Hearing Fang Ran's question, Tang Bing seemed to be able to feel the nervous clenching of his little fists at that time, and then he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Then the second thing was to work hard for a semester and a summer vacation, and I was really able to come to this city that I have been looking forward to for more than ten years to study for a year!"
"Studying abroad, it sounds like it's amazing..."
Seeing her like this, Fang Ran was slightly stunned and muttered, which made Tang Bing realize that he was a little too excited about the person he met for the first time and stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly:
"Well... But there is no senior, you are really admitted to Beijing University..."
"Uhhh Ahem, it's not that bad...."
Study Abroad.
This high-end sounding thing, not to mention whether it is really good or bad, but in a new country that they love, experiencing exotic customs and a new environment while starting a fulfilling and interesting learning career may be a dream that every student has imagined.
"Which university in London did Beijing University arrange for you this time?"
Of course, Fang Ran, who had also thought about this kind of thing, suddenly asked with some curiosity, and then saw Tang Bing give a thumbs up with a little star on his face.
"Queen Mary, University of London, very powerful!"
"Oh, that sounds magnificent..."
was also aroused by Tang Bing's topic of interest in studying abroad, although there is no need to think about everyone who is powerful in the night game, such as Sister Yesheng and Sister Fuxing, must have similar resumes, but it is the first time I have met my peers who are studying abroad.
As a scumbag who was born in China and grew up in China, Fang Ran eagerly asked the question that probably every boy who yearns for a career in studying abroad is curious about.
"Isn't there a lot of beautiful women in foreign countries, and if I come to study abroad, I can easily get off the list?"
made Tang Bing speechless at the moment of success, looked at him expressionlessly, and silently held back a sentence:
"There are a lot of gold bars in the bank, senior, why don't you grab it."
Fang Ran: "......"
Sister,Is it so real....
Walking through the streets of London adjacent to European-style buildings, passing by white-skinned and high-nosed foreign men and women all the way, watching the red double-decker bus pass by signs marked with various English, led by the ponytail swaying on the side in front of them, walking through the exotic labyrinth that dazzles Fang Ran's British atmosphere.
After noticing that the roads in London are very shallow, and some places don't even have such details at all, Fang Ran finally heard the sentence he wanted to hear the most.
"Senior, we're here."
Coo-co
The non-stop sound in his stomach was almost already playing the Spanish bullfighter, and then followed Tang Bing Fangran finally came to the place where he could solve the second goal, just....
Looking at the Tesco sign on the building in front of him, Fang Ran felt that he seemed to have seen this word when he got lost just now,
Let him look at Tang Bing beside him with a complicated and stern expression:
"That junior, the place where this word is written is a supermarket!?"
Tang Bing, who was stunned by his question, rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Otherwise, senior, don't you think that foreign supermarket stores have supermaket or something on them."
That's what Fang thought: "......"
If you don't tell me this is a supermarket, just take a look at such a single flat building with the bright 24h, I thought it was a gas station...
I'm stupid, really.
...
...
Speaking of London prices,
What is the instinctive first reaction of someone who knows nothing about this?
Isn't it expensive? Isn't it expensive?
Do you think that the consumption level of a big city like London must not be low?
However, the answer is...
Not exactly.
With 10 pounds of hungry eyes glowed into this Tesco, if Fang Ran is okay to help Gou Yu run errands a little more common sense of life, you can know that this is actually a supermarket called Tesco in China, the moment you step into the store, how to say it...
A dazzling scene with bright yellow lights and neat decorations came into view of Fang Ran.
All kinds of goods are neatly arranged on the shelves, fruit is packaged in bags and lit up, and some spacious aisles are filled with foreign women pushing shopping carts, all marked except for the numerical prices in English, which is particularly real to be in London.
Diving into the food shelves, looking at the whole row of food with a sense of satisfaction, but quite uneasy about only 10 pounds in his pocket, Fang Ran first looked at the price of a bag of brioche bread, which said what Bread 800G...
NOW! 70P
(°—°lll)? P?
I looked at this unit I didn't know at all in a daze for a second, and I was deeply confused about how much this price was.
Is the symbol of the pound P ?
It's a shame to say that Fang Ran only knows the US dollar for the symbol of foreign currency.
It's because I used to watch cats and mice when I was a kid...
But in fact, P is not the symbol of the pound sterling, and the United Kingdom, which thinks that the local currency is very important, is more resistant to the euro, so in the United Kingdom, in addition to the pound, there is also a secondary currency, pennies.
£1 = 100p,
That is, 1£=100P.
This knowledge was only after Fang Ran stared at a bag of bread and pestle for a minute, scaring away a woman next to him, and then he thought through the text of "Four Pennies" that he had forgotten where he had read it when he was a child.
it! A bag of bread is only £0.7!?
Then, after realizing this, a bunch of digital prices rolled through his mind, and Fang Ran looked at the 10 pounds in his hand in disbelief, with a shocked and unbelieving look of doubt about life.
That said... My ten dollars seem to be quite spent!?
After thinking about this, although he also knew that the pound was very valuable before, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable, Fang Ran suddenly fell into deep thought, stared at the shelf in front of him and swallowed his saliva.
Suddenly, I was beaten by myself last night... cough, the knife-wielding robber who directly broke his hand in the face of righteousness and courage felt so guilty.
Well, well, you shouldn't call him poor, I hope that little brother helps him call 120...
(°▽°、)? Eh, is it 120 to call an ambulance in the UK?
