"Hey, senior Fangran, are you also an exchange student in London?"
In downtown Stratford, London, on the side of the street full of British architectural styles, I was moved to tears when I met someone by chance who was also a student of Peking University.
Walking behind Tang Bing in the crowd, passing by passers-by's conversations in English from time to time, Fangran, who was finally redeemed, when he heard her question, looked straight at Mr. Tang in the red coat on her body. duck,
One will become Arctic Roast Duck, and the other will become Nanjing Salted Duck...
"Exchange student...? How do you know?"
Hearing her name the exchange student suddenly, Fangran was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he was about to strike, and then saw Tang Bing beside him widen his eyes as if he was cute, and spread his hands as a matter of course.
"After all, senior, your student information is still in Beijing University. If you are not studying abroad, what else can you be except a regular exchange student for inter-school exchanges?"
Speaking of this, she flattened her mouth and rolled her eyes with a look of "what more to say".
"Otherwise, the National Day 11 holiday is over, senior, could it be possible that you skipped class and traveled here?"
Fangran (;￣д￣)... .
Uh... Strictly speaking, I'm here as a sneaky traveler who skipped school...
"By the way, when I set off this semester, why didn't I see you, senior, did you come here by plane after something happened at that time?"
Walking on the way to the supermarket with a real school girl who is different from the pirated parallel imports from Beijing University, I watched her turn her head to look at me and asked curiously. Girl, the personality is exactly the same as I imagined,
Not losing vigilance towards people, but at the same time sunny and cheerful, from the beginning just now the atmosphere did not become awkward due to unfamiliarity, and has been very lively to provoke the topic,
In short, Fangran felt that she was a vigorous girl with high social skills.
Although it is not impossible to tell a lie here and follow her words and say that I am also an exchange student in London, a senior here who is good at lying and dying wants to pass on a little trick to everyone,
That is, instead of talking nonsense in a field that you don't know at all but 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 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. It's just that something happened and I was left in London alone with no one I knew."
Seeing the junior girl blinking her eyes and asking herself, Fangran slightly moved his eyes away and moved out the character design he had just thought up three minutes ago, and then felt that it was not good to keep making people stir up the topic. After thinking about it, he was also curious asked:
"By the way, junior, are you an exchange student at Peking University?"
"Yes, one of the two happiest and luckiest things in my life is that I was recruited by Beijing University because of my English,"
Hearing Fangran's question, Tang Bing seemed to be able to feel the nervous clenched fists and the excitement that almost jumped up.
"And the second thing is to work hard for a semester and a summer vacation, and I can really come to this city that I have been looking forward to for more than ten years to study abroad for a year!"
"Studying abroad, it sounds like you are very powerful..."
Seeing her like this, Fangran murmured in a daze, making Tang Bing realize that he was a little too excited to meet someone for the first time, and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment:
"Well... but you are not as good as a senior who is really admitted to Peking University..."
"Uh...cough cough, it's not that bad..."
overseas study.
This 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 learning career, perhaps every student can imagine 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, and then saw Tang Bing give a thumbs up with a little star shining on his face.
"Queen Mary University of London, it's amazing!"
"Oh, that sounds grand..."
Tang Bing's topic also aroused interest in the life of studying abroad. Although you don't need to think about the powerful people in the night bureau, such as sister Ye Sheng and sister Su Su must have similar resumes, but this is the first time I have met someone who is studying abroad. peer,
As a scumbag boy who grew up in China since he was a child, Fangran eagerly asked questions that probably every boy who aspires to study abroad would be curious about.
"Is there a lot of beauties in foreign countries? If I also come to study abroad, I can easily get out of the singles?"
Tang Bing was speechless at the moment of success, watching him blankly and silently uttered a sentence:
"There are also a lot of gold bars in the bank, why don't you grab them, senior."
Fangran: "..."
Junior, is it so real... .
Strolling on the streets of London next to European-style buildings, passing by foreign men and women with white skin and high nose bridge, watching the red double-decker bus passing by with various English signs, led by the swaying ponytail in front of you , walking through this exotic labyrinth that dazzled Fangran with the atmosphere of England,
During the unexpectedly happy chat, he noticed that the curbs in London were very shallow, and in some places there were no such details at all, Fangran finally heard the sentence he wanted to hear most now.
"Senior, we're here."
Cuckoo cluck cluck cluck cluck!
When the non-stop voice in my stomach was almost playing the Spanish matador, I followed Tang Bingfangran and finally came to the place where I could solve the second goal, but... .
Looking at the tesco logo on the building in front of him, Fangran felt that he had seen this word when he was lost just now.
Let him ask Tang Bing beside him with a complex and serious face:
"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, don't you think that supermarkets and stores abroad all say supermaket or shopping."
Fang thought so: "..."
If you don't tell me that this is a supermarket, I thought it was a gas station just by looking at such a single flat building from a distance with the bright 24 hours...
I'm so stupid, really.
...
...
Mention London prices,
What's the instinctive first reaction of someone who doesn't know anything about it
Is it expensive? Is it expensive
Do you think that the consumption level of a big city like London must not be low
However, the answer is...
Not quite.
With 10 pounds in his pocket, he rushed into this tesco with starving eyes. If Fangran had nothing to do, he would run errands for Gou. With a little common sense in life, he would know that this is actually a supermarket called Tesco in China. For a moment, how can I say...
A dazzling scene of bright yellow lights and bright and tidy decorations came into Fangran's field of vision.
All kinds of goods are neatly placed on the shelves. Fruits are packaged in bags and illuminated with lights. There are some spacious aisles where foreign women push shopping carts. All the labels are in English except for the digital price. It feels like being in London.
Drilling into the food shelf, looking at the whole row of food, there is a sense of satisfaction and happiness, but he is quite uneasy that he only has 10 pounds in his pocket. Fangran first looked at the price of a bag of butter bread. What is written about bread 800g...
now! 70p
(°°lll)? p
Staring at this unit that I don't know at all, I was in a daze for a second, and fell into a deep confusion about the price.
Is the pound symbol p
I am ashamed to say that Fangran only knows the symbol of foreign currency.
This is because I used to watch cat and mouse when I was a child...
But in fact, p is not the symbol of the pound. Britain, which feels that the local currency is very important, is more resistant to the euro. Therefore, in addition to the pound, there is also a subsidiary currency in the UK, the pence.
1 pound = 100 pence,
That is, 1 £ = 100p.
After Fangran stared at a bag of bread and pestered it for a minute, scaring away a woman next to him, he went through the text of "Four Pennies" that he forgot to read when he was a child. remember.
Fuck! A bag of bread is only 0.7 pounds!
Then, after realizing this, a bunch of digital prices rolled over in his mind, and Fangran looked at the 10 pounds in his hand in disbelief, with a shocked and disbelieving skeptical life on his face.
Let's put it that way... my ten dollars seem to be a good spend!
After figuring this out, Fangran, who knew that the British pound was very valuable but never expected it to be so valuable, suddenly fell into deep thought. While staring at the shelf in front of him, he swallowed,
Suddenly, I felt a little guilty about the knife-wielding robber who was punched by me last night...cough, and bravely crushed his hand.
Well, well, I shouldn't call him poor, I hope that little brother can help him call 120...
(°°,)? Hey, is it 120 to call an ambulance in the UK
