After seeing the elderly lady who poked her head out of the car, Xu Ran's face showed a very surprised and joyful expression, he nodded excitedly, walked a few steps quickly, and after the backward vehicle stopped, he pulled the car door and sat down, while saying in his mouth: "Thank you!" ”

The lady casually said, "No thanks." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Reacquaint, my name is Betty, and this is my husband Edmund."

Xu Ran also introduced himself and said, "My name is Xu Ran, hello." ”

"Hello."

"Where are you going?"

Xu Ran replied, "You just put me in the city." ”

Xu Ran is because he doesn't know anything about the urban area, so he can only say it in generalities; The two of them thought that Xu Ran didn't want to cause more trouble to others, so they could choose to get off anywhere in the city, but they knew how to do it.

"We run a small supermarket in the city," Betty says. And told Xu Ran where the supermarket was,

Xu Ran also understood what people meant, it was a euphemism to tell himself that he could choose the right location on this section of the road to get off, which was regarded as respecting Xu Ran's choice; However, Xu Ran can't say where he got off the bus, and he can only decide it depending on the situation at that time.

Betty is very talkative, very good at handover, and speaks quite decently, perhaps because she can see that Xu Ran is not good at communication, she often changes some light-hearted topics, chatting with the two people in the car, so as not to make the atmosphere seem too dull.

Although Xu Ran can't express many words, Xu Ran's emotional intelligence should be considered not low; So he fully assumed the role of a good listener, and kept saying "um" and "ah", showing that he was very interested in what Betty talked about; This made the enthusiastic Betty feel very relieved; To be able to listen to herself with such a young person with great interest is also a kind of self-satisfaction for an elderly person like her; At least this is a recognition and admiration for young people and the life experience of the elderly.

Betty's speech is also very measured, and it can be seen that she treats Xu Ran as a foreigner, and in her speech, she mostly talks about some interesting local habits, which can be regarded as helping Xu Ran to eliminate illiteracy, and also makes Xu Ran, a real outsider, indeed gain a lot of knowledge; For example, on this road, how to express the willingness to hitchhike, she used the way of discussing a local custom, to mention and explain it on the side, but she never showed a little taste to preach; This made Xu Ran very impressed, the level of people's speech, and he was also grateful for the kindness of others' kind reminders.

Regarding Xu Ran's personal situation, Betty and his wife never mentioned it, which also saved Xu Ran from the trouble of struggling to answer; And Xu Ran also consciously did not take the initiative to inquire about the personal situation of the two people.

After sitting in the car for almost 10 minutes, the car has already driven into the city, and when the car passed a few more traffic lights, Xu Ran got off at a section of the road that seemed to be more lively, and when he got out of the car, Xu Ran once again expressed his sincere gratitude to Betty and his wife, and the two of them also invited him to go to the supermarket to have a look.

……

Judging from the appearance of the street where he is located, if he is not in a different world, Xu Ran feels that he can be seen as traveling in a certain country on the earth, because the architectural environment and street layout here, as well as the people here, can find similarities on the earth.

Xu Ran walked into a large supermarket nearby and browsed inside; Through observation, Xu Ran already knew that the three banknotes he had just drawn were 100 yuan, 10 yuan and 1 yuan; In the supermarket, the smallest unit of currency payment is 1 dime, and from the dime to the yuan, it is also progressed in a decimal system.

From the morning activity to the present, Xu Ran is also thirsty, he bought a bottle of mineral water for one yuan, and used 10 yuan to find change; The reason why he didn't use the dollar directly was because he was precautionary, in case he needed to use change, so as not to have to exchange change when he got it.

Through the observation of the goods sold in the supermarket, Xu Ran felt that the level of civilian science and technology in this world should be very similar to the modern and modern of the earth, which made him feel even more in a trance of traveling somewhere on the earth.

Mobile phones have also been widely used here. It also made him realize how rude it was for Amy to leave her phone number without giving her phone number; also made him very entangled in his faux pas.

However, he can't afford to buy a mobile phone at the moment, so he has to hurry up and raise money.

When he came out of the supermarket, he wandered along the street shop; The more customers there are, the more he wants to go in and join in the fun, not only to learn about the situation here, but also to listen and learn more about the language.

As he walked, he came across a store selling lottery tickets, which was selling a kind of "scratch" lottery ticket, which belonged to the form of instant prize redemption; On the poster advertisement of the store, there is a relevant introduction to the winning lottery; Although Xu Ran didn't know the text here, it was still easy to understand that the winning pattern was drawn on it.

Through his travels in the supermarket, Xu Ran has already understood the content of the price code there, so he can also see the prize money of these winning tickets; The price of each ticket is two yuan, the highest prize is 100,000 yuan, and there are 10,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, 100 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, a total of 6 kinds.

There are a lot of people who buy lottery tickets, when customers pay the money, they can draw their own lottery tickets in the box containing them, and then they can be scratched on the spot; If you win the lottery, except for the prizes of 100,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, you need to go to the designated place to receive the prize, and the rest of the prizes are paid by the seller and directly in cash.

Xu Ran was happiest to meet such a place, which meant that he could have a chance and pick up money; Xu Ran stood nearby, observing those lottery tickets through the spiritual force field space, during this period, some customers were lucky to win the lottery, but they were all 10 yuan, 5 yuan awards.

After observing for 5 minutes, Xu Ran stepped forward and handed over 2 yuan, drew a lottery ticket, and then scratched the prize on the side, and then happily went to the boss to claim the prize; This is a 1000 yuan award,This is already the lottery shop、The only highest prize,Others,There is also a 100 yuan,And a few 10 yuan、5 yuan awards,In the surrounding customers and bosses、Envious eyes,Xu Ran received the 1,000 yuan bonus as he wished,Left the lottery spot.

And the boss who sold the lottery ticket, after cashing Xu Ran's grand prize, did not dare to publicize, seeing that Xu Ran was able to refresh, turned around and left, the boss was really thankful in his heart; You know,In this 'scratch' type of lottery ticket store,Once the customer knows that the jackpot has been drawn,Customers who buy lottery tickets、There will be a significant reduction; This is because we all understand,The winning rate of the lottery is very low,Each lottery shop can share the jackpot lottery tickets、It is also very rare,If it has been drawn away,Other people will naturally think、The probability of winning the jackpot is lower,Of course, you have to consider、Go to other lottery shops to buy lottery tickets.

And Xu Ran deliberately gave up knowing that there were still a few lottery tickets that could be won and had the ability to draw them; It's because he doesn't want to do things too much, so that it is easy to attract attention; At the same time, I also want to leave some thoughts for other lottery players, and Xu Ran doesn't want to make his appearance look too ugly; Moreover, when those awards are combined, they are only more than 100 yuan, which is still not a small difference compared to the award in his hand, so he deliberately gave it up, which can be regarded as a gesture of benefiting the people.

Xu Ran thought about it afterwards, it was also his luck that a 1,000 yuan prize appeared at that lottery spot; Because the winning rate of this lottery is very low, not every lottery shop can encounter it; As for the kind of awards of more than 10,000 yuan, they are definitely rare, and they are all available but not sought; So Xu Ran didn't put it、To check all the lottery points,As their own way to get rich,Because it is a lottery、But for the whole country,If you want to search the lottery shop all over the country,It is not possible to do it in a short time,This not only takes a lot of energy and time,At the same time, you have to pray、This kind of large lottery tickets,Will not be drawn away by others。

And such a painstaking toss, the comprehensive cost and risk it takes, absolutely cannot match the limited bonus it obtains; Therefore, no matter how much Xu Ran wants to pursue profits, he will not take such an uncost-effective way.

Of course,Once you encounter this kind of lottery shop on the road,He will still spend a few minutes、To browse,But never deliberately look for them one by one,Xu Ran believes、He will definitely find other channels to get money faster。

Xu Ran can barely cope with this when using the local language and having conversations, but if he is allowed to read or write, it will still be a blind eye; Therefore, when he walked around the street and was familiar with the language environment here, he also paid close attention to the written store names, advertisements, labels of items in the store, bus stop signs, etc., and even the small advertisements distributed by people on the side of the road, he would also accept them, and make pretentious inquiries to understand the words and the content of the expressions.

Xu Ran has an advantage, that is, his memory is much stronger than ordinary people, if you use a suitable idiom, to summarize, it is 'never forget'; as long as he is allowed to confirm, the text expression of a certain word or a certain word, the corresponding speech content, then the reading and writing information of this word or word, even if it has been archived in his language inventory, can be used by him at any time.

When eating at noon, Xu Ran found a small restaurant on the side of the road, although this restaurant is not big, but it looks very tasteful; The restaurant Xu Ran chose is exquisite, the recipes of the restaurant are all equipped with color photos, Xu Ran ordered one meat, one vegetable, two dishes according to the recipe, and asked for a staple dish; These are all directed to the recipe and ordered directly to the waiter, and he then memorized the corresponding text according to the name of the waiter.

This meal cost 16.5 yuan, although I don't know the income level of ordinary people here, but according to the bottle of mineral water for one yuan, he feels that this meal is very affordable and quite appetizing.

Xu Ran's current net worth is already more than 1,000 yuan, and after coming out of the hotel, he first came to a mobile phone store and bought himself a mobile phone; This situation of selling mobile phones, he has already noticed in the morning, there is no need for any identity documents, and the form that needs to be filled out, that is, ticked some options; As for where to tick, although he didn't know, after all, he was too illiterate, but he just had to remember where others ticked, the only thing that puzzled him was his own signature, and he didn't know how to write; That's why he didn't buy a mobile phone right away.

After this morning's observation, he has noticed that the text here also belongs to a kind of pinyin script, and he can now spell out the corresponding letters according to the pronunciation of his name; So, after spending 520 yuan, he bought himself a mid-range mobile phone and directly configured a calling card; He also deliberately asked the waitress to explain to him the essentials of mobile phone operation; After all, it would be really difficult for him to let him grope for himself in front of the manual.

The young waitress who sold mobile phones was still quite good-looking, and when she saw such a handsome guy with a style and asked herself about the use of her mobile phone, she speculated about Xu Ran's motives; After all, who of Xu Ran's age group can't play with his mobile phone, and Xu Ran didn't try to operate it, and directly invited her to explain; If the other party is an elderly person, it is normal, but the other party is so young, which naturally makes her inevitably guess the other party's intentions.

Although there is more than one conclusion to speculate, none of them can be taken seriously, and Xu Ran's first impression does make this waitress have a good impression; Therefore, she demonstrated to Xu Ran in detail very carefully and patiently, which made Xu Ran also very happy to listen carefully and showed great interest, which made the waitress think that the handsome guy in front of her at least had very obvious intentions close to herself; But for this, the waitress will not resist, since they have a good impression of each other, can they have further interactions?

It just so happened that there would be no other customers, and the waitress decided to increase Xu Ran's self-confidence, so she was very kind and explained to Xu Ran the precautions for using mobile phones; When Xu Ran said that he wanted to try the call on his mobile phone and whether there would be a quality problem, the waitress entered her mobile phone number directly in her mobile phone, dialed it and handed it to Xu Ran; Xu Ran could hear the prompt tone that the phone had been dialed and the call reminder tone of the other party's phone; Xu Ran then asked the other party to answer the phone and try the sound, so that after the two sides said greetings to each other through the mobile phone, Xu Ran turned off the mobile phone.

At this time, Xu Ran was relieved about the mobile phone, and after sincerely expressing his gratitude to the waiter, Xu Ran left the mobile phone store.

In this place, tipping is not popular, so Xu Ran can't thank others by tipping; Otherwise, Xu Ran really wanted to spend a lot of money and tip others, because the waitress did give him a lot of help, and if he wanted to explore it blindly, he really didn't know how much effort it would take to figure out the use of this mobile phone.

This is because Xu Ran can't read the manual, and this mobile phone is a little different from the earth's in terms of operation; And if he asks people about this kind of question, if he is not regarded as an alien, he will probably be regarded as an idiot.

The waitress was very appreciative of Xu Ran's behavior of finally having to connect the mobile phone and audition, she felt that this should be Xu Ran's intention to get closer, and she was also very happy to do it according to Xu Ran's request, even if she also gave Xu Ran a clear statement; When she was auditioning with Xu Ran, the look in her eyes at Xu Ran was already a sufficient expression of her appreciation, and next, she had to see Xu Ran's further performance.

From Xu Ran's point of view, the reason why he insisted on letting the waitress answer just now was not to deliberately mislead the waitress, but there was really a historical reason.

……

It was when I was in college, and one year I was at home during the winter vacation, and Xu Ran's mobile phone broke down, and it was no longer worth repairing; He went to the street to buy a new mobile phone, when he was in the mobile phone store, he also tried to use the mobile phone to call the landline in the store, inside and outside the mobile phone, you can hear the ringtone of the phone being dialed, which at least shows that the dialing function of the phone is normal; However, this is not the case.

When he returned by bus, a female classmate called him to help someone ask something; When the phone was answered, he felt his head go big; He could hear people clearly, but they couldn't hear what he was saying.

At first, he thought it was a signal failure, so he hung up the phone and redial once, but the situation was still the same; This made him immediately realize that there was a fault in the call of the mobile phone, and he quickly hung up the phone, sent a message to the other party, explained that there was something wrong with the phone, and wanted to exchange information with the other party on QQ.

This made the female classmate feel very depressed, what could have been explained clearly in a few words, but it took a while to communicate and understand on QQ, and the delay outside the box took a lot of time; And the person who asked about the matter was standing next to him, and people felt awkward; It's a very simple thing, but it's so complicated, you obviously have a phone, but you don't call, but you have to talk about QQ and delay time, and it's too good at finding time to get close; In fact, the female classmate and Xu Ran can only be said to be familiar, but they have not yet developed to the point where they often chat privately on QQ.

Xu Ran was also depressed, who let the mobile phone drop the chain, he also gradually realized that it would be a bit cumbersome and time-consuming to talk to others and on QQ, but since they have already chatted, they have to have a beginning and an end, although in the end, they can answer the other party's questions, which can help others; But this way makes people look like it's really inevitable to feel contrived, and he himself is worried that it will make the female classmate misunderstand, thinking that he doesn't know how to measure, and he is using excuses to get closer to others.

And if it is just a misunderstanding and a purposeful desire to get close, Xu Ran can accept it, 'My Fair Lady, a gentleman';

Xu then returned to the mobile phone store, and was told after inspection that it was the voice output system of the mobile phone, and one of the joints was desoldered, causing the voice to be unable to be output; It's just that the probability of this is 1 in 10,000.

I can carefully explain to my classmates the situation on my mobile phone, but even I can't believe the reason, will people believe it? After all, this situation is too rare, and what I want to describe is a mobile phone that can answer, can play QQ, but can't output sound.

……

After eating a full meal at noon, and arming himself with a mobile phone, he can accurately grasp the time now, so Xu Ran continued to wander around the streets of this other world; At about half past one in the afternoon, Xu Ran saw the mahjong parlor in this world.
