"And the royal law is gone? I have to pay taxes on my purchases! Zhou Dajiang did not understand the problem of this tax, but Hong Tao could understand it, in his previous life, many countries had too high tax rates, and the rich people in China began to run abroad, which is not surprising.

While chatting and trying on clothes, Hong Tao finally bought a cotton coat for 200 Canadian dollars, a woolen hat for 15 Canadian dollars, a pair of deerskin gloves for 10 Canadian dollars, and a pair of boots full of wool 70 Canadian dollars, a total of 295 Canadian dollars, about more than 1800 yuan (at that time, the yuan had not appreciated, 100 Canadian dollars could be exchanged for 639 yuan, if it was now, 100 Canadian dollars could only be exchanged for 560 yuan, which was equivalent to a direct 12.5% discount)

Buying things also relied on coaxing, Hong Tao bought, Zhou Dajiang also bought, and then a few more people came in, and they also looked good to buy, the eldest sister hurried to busy with business, but she was good, and gave Hong Tao a phone card before leaving, with a face value of 20 Canadian dollars, it is said that you can make long-distance calls to Beijing for more than 2 hours, which is very affordable.

Because he still has to continue shopping, Hong Tao came up with an idea, that is, to put these clothes in the eldest sister's store first, and take them together when she leaves, as for the safety issue, Hong Tao estimated that she would not have a bad heart because of these hundreds of yuan, and when she has the ability to believe in people, Hong Tao is still willing to choose to believe in others, and she is too tired to live in any case.

2 people spent a morning, basically the first floor of the shop to take a look, can only be said to be approximate, is only to pick the store of interest to see, and it has to be a rough look, if you look carefully, hundreds of stores, even if one looks for 3 minutes, you have to see a day.

After shopping on the first floor, it was exactly noon, Hong Tao and Zhou Dajiang came to the second floor of the mall, found a restaurant that operated Sichuan cuisine, and asked for a few dishes, intending to treat their stomachs. The dish is ordered by Hong Tao, although the waiters here are all authentic Chinese, but Hong Tao did not expect the food here to taste like China, in his previous life he also traveled to the United States, he also tasted the Chinese restaurant in New York, not so much that it is Chinese food, it is better to call it Chinese-style Western food, the taste has completely changed, sweet and light.

But after the dish came up, Hong Tao and Zhou Dajiang only tasted one bite, and immediately wrote down the name of the restaurant, because the taste of the dish is very pure, whether it is pure Sichuan cuisine dare not guarantee, but it is definitely a Chinese taste, and it has not changed at all. Especially the plate of spicy crab, the crab shell is larger than Hong Tao's palm, full of crab roe, the price is 9.99 Canadian dollars, more than 60 yuan, although it is a little more expensive than the domestic one, but the quality is obviously a lot better, mainly because the raw materials are too powerful.

"Brother, what your boss said is really true, I didn't hear a word of foreign language this morning, and I met 2 fellows, if you want to say that, it's not bad to live here, you look at the prices I remembered, and the difference between them and the domestic is not big, but the quality is this." After eating, Hong Tao and Zhou Dajiang sat at the dining table to rest, Zhou Dajiang took out the small book from his pocket and showed it to Hong Tao, which was full of the prices of goods he had written down.

"Apples are 0.47 yuan a pound, 10 pounds are 2.99 yuan a bag, sweet oranges are 0.51 yuan a pound, the whole bag is 2.99 yuan a bag, 12 pieces, lean pork is 1.57 yuan a pound, meat filling is 0.99 yuan a pound, pork ribs are 1.99 yuan a pound, beef is 1.69 yuan a pound, chicken thighs are 0.69 yuan a pound, eggs are 1.12 yuan 12, 4 liters of milk are 3 Canadian dollars, ......" The book was densely written down several pages, and Hong Tao only glanced at it roughly.

"A pound is 450 grams, which is our 9 taels, according to 1 to 6.39, pork is 11 yuan a catty, which is much more expensive than in China; the price of beef is about the same as pork, but the quality looks very good; apples are 2.1 a catty, which is cheaper than in China, but the quality is much better than in China; eggs are almost 4.7 yuan a catty, which is about the same as in China; this milk is too cheap, and the price of mineral water is almost the same." Hong Tao took out his mobile phone and used the computer to calculate them one by one.

"Tomatoes, cucumbers, and white radishes are all 0.5 Canadian dollars per pound, which is equal to 3.55 pounds, which is about the same as in China; this bean sprouts and lentils are a bit expensive, 5 yuan a pound; potatoes are really cheap, 1 yuan a pound ......"

"Hey, big brother, you're eating here too!" Hong Tao and Zhou Dajiang were lying on the table and working hard, when suddenly a lion roared, and Hong Tao was so frightened that he almost threw his mobile phone out.

"I said eldest sister, people are scary and scared to death, my heart is about to jump out, I will go to your store to buy something in a while, you have to give me a 5% discount!" Hong Tao remembered to buy a hat and gloves for Zhou Xiaoli, and hurriedly used the words to squeeze the eldest sister who sells clothes.

"The big man has this guts, always thinking about discounts, your eldest sister and I do this easy, get up early and be greedy, and there is no one to help, so you play me alone......" The eldest sister who sells clothes downstairs is obviously not just debuted, as soon as she heard someone talk about it, she immediately played the sad card.

"Stop...... Stop...... Big sister, don't say it, brother, I also started from practicing clothing in China, we are both taught by a teacher, I will also do your set, I will see the outside if I say more, and I will say it for a while, and then I will talk about it at noon today, you have to let me please, if you don't agree, we will return all the things we bought. As soon as Zhou Dajiang heard her start to recite the professional mantra, he immediately interrupted, if she was allowed to continue, there was an eighty-year-old mother, and a half-year-old son had to say it, and if she couldn't get it, she had to have a single mother or something, he was also an expert in this thing.

"Oh, it's still the people from our hometown who are bright, and that girl takes advantage of the eldest brother, do you have anything you want to ask me?" As soon as the eldest sister heard this, she immediately reacted.

"Look, big sister, I'm an immigrant, in the future, whether you like it or not, you have to take root here, but I don't know much about the market here, I've been with my brother for a long time, and I'm thinking about the difference between this price and the country, there are too many things, I haven't figured it out yet, you must have been here for a long time, you tell us about it, so we don't have to go to our own blind groping." Zhou Dajiang first helped the eldest sister to ask for 2 more dishes, and then began to ask questions.

Hey, this is not easy to do, a few words, if it wasn't for the many customers in the store just now, I would have told you a long time ago, I, I've been here for 4 years, I don't dare to say anything else, I've been all over these Chinatowns, the price is Menqing, I'll tell you so. "The eldest sister has a bit of a storytelling style, saying a paragraph and then pausing to let the audience take a breath.

"The price of meat is about 10%-20% more expensive than in China, but the quality assurance is no problem, each piece of meat is labeled, the farm's raising, the slaughterhouse at what time it is killed, and the store at what time it is on the shelves, are all clearly marked, in case you eat a bad stomach, you take this to the police, they can't eat and go around!" The eldest sister paused again and took a sip of the tea from the restaurant.

"The price of vegetables is a little more expensive than meat, this is the case, meat is not worth much, dishes are worth much, but it is not too expensive, almost more than 30%, how to say about seafood, like the sea crab you eat, lobster, geoduck or something, almost 7 Canadian dollars a pound, the quality of the domestic is not compared, the price, it's hard to say. Fruits depend on the season, the price is similar to vegetables, buy more is cheaper, most of the people here buy things by car, a week to buy. "The eldest sister's dishes and rice came, but she was addicted to what she said, so she pushed the dishes to the side and continued.

"The price of clothing is like this, for example, now, basically all discounts, the lowest is 5% off, so buy at this time, it must be cheaper than in China, if you want to buy famous brands, don't look for it here, there is no here, you have to go to the monopoly counter of the big shopping mall, the price is cheaper than the country, even if it is not discounted, it is about the same as the country."

"What about electrical appliances?" Zhou Dajiang picked up his little notebook again, listened to it and memorized it, and asked questions from time to time.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. If you buy electrical appliances when they are on sale, they are cheap, and if they are not discounted, you have to calculate, and you have to add 15% tax to the price marked by the mall, which is the real price. As for the car, it's too cheap, but I advise you to buy a used car, it's affordable and easy to use, I bought a 95-year-old Ford last year, 2000 Canadian dollars, I didn't like it after driving for two years, and I can sell it again. ”
