Yifang Ranna has never been abroad (cross out)
With Fangran's superficial understanding of never having lived in a foreign country and his complete ignorance of economic knowledge, he always thought that even if there was such a thing as exchange rate, it would only be involved in cross-border trade.
Therefore, various currencies should be similar in their own countries. One pound in the UK is equivalent to one dollar in China.
But after seeing that a bag of bread in front of me cost only 70 pence and 0.7 pounds, the currency value, national wealth, productivity level, and inflation rolled over in my mind. After at least three or four dollars,
Fangran suddenly felt that he was holding a 'huge sum of money',
He looked at the shelves in front of him, and the simple labels were prices that he could recognize in plastic English, most of them were small numbers of a few tenths, a few tenths,
A piece of bread costs 0.7 pounds, which means that if you buy ten yuan, you will still have three pounds left...
(°Д°!) Are prices in the UK so low?
yes,
Contrary to the impression of eating jade and cooking osmanthus in the imperial capital of the British Empire, the prices in London supermarkets are surprisingly cheap.
Maybe you will say that according to the exchange rate, a bag of bread worth nearly seven yuan is not cheap, but don’t forget one thing,
They earn more than you (with ruthless white eyes)...
Can the price of a bag of bread be the same for you as it is for others (roll eyes again)
The salary of the most ordinary staff in London is 1,500 pounds a month, while the normal salary is around 2,000.
According to the exchange rate of 1:9.5, it is about 20,000 yuan a month when converted into RMB.
You tell me what position I will be in Huaxia in exchange for this income...
And with your current income, how much do you spend on food a month...
How about it, get it, that is to say, in London, you go to the supermarket twice a week, spend 25 pounds once, spend 200 pounds a month, and you can eat whatever you want for about one-tenth of your salary. This "price" Is it still low
In fact, this is exactly the case. Regardless of complex professional things such as productivity and commodity economy, although people in the British Empire go out to eat for a small case of tens of pounds, the cost of eating at home is only 8% of the Engels coefficient.
But even so, why do you always listen to people who have studied in London saying that the cost is not low there, and you have to save money
Heh, save that question for next time,
The most important question right now is,
Fangran squatted in front of the supermarket shelf holding only 10 pounds, wondering whether he should buy this big bag of sesame bread that only cost 60 pence, or the big bag of meat floss bread next to him that cost 90 pence.
As for the £1.20 three-slice ham sandwich on top of the head...
That was beyond his consideration.
Suddenly, he felt an unprecedented reality experience. Fangran, who was in a tangle, was suddenly lost in thought, and couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought about the problem that was bothering him now.
It's true, a few days ago he was still struggling with high-grade ingredients such as king crab and bluefin tuna that he didn't know, but now he was squatting in a corner of the supermarket and hesitating about the price difference of a few dollars.
It feels like I'm back to my old self...
From a participant who has everything he wants to create a brand, he has fallen back to an ordinary person who is worried about food. Thinking of this, Fang Ran laughed, and escaped from the previous panic and loss. He fell back to the real world from the world of night battles and looked at the supermarket he was in. , obviously just returning to the same as before, but there is a novel feeling,
Then he put the 90p meat floss bread back on the shelf, picked up the most common pack of 55p white bread on the side, and looked for the next thing he needed.
Speaking of which, the last time I came to the supermarket was with my senior sister...
Walking through the shelves, Fangran was looking for the next thing he wanted to buy. Looking at the fruit section, there were basically all kinds of fruits that cost a pound a bag. The first thing he thought of in this kind of retail labels that belonged to his daily category was Xia Yao's figure.
I don't know what the senior is doing now, oh shit...
There was an accident during this national war, and I will be trained by Xiaoran again when I go back...
Passing by Evian who was discounting six bottles of £3, and picked up a 2L bottle of unknown mineral water that cost only 17p, Fangran had a headache thinking that this time he didn't tell Fang Xiaoran that he was not at school.
never mind...
But in the end, Fangran looked at the bread and water in his hand and sighed as he walked towards the exit and was about to pay the bill.
Before you worry about going back to be trained, you have to find a way to go back.
Then he walked towards the checkout counter at the exit of the supermarket with such thoughts in mind. There were still not many people queuing up at this time in the morning. Fangran chose an empty entrance and walked over to take out the things in the shopping basket.
"I want this... uh, that..I..."
Wait, what should I say to people when paying the bill? I don’t seem to have learned it in the previous class (stay)...
Just when Fangran was in a daze for two seconds, and realized that he didn't know what to say when paying the bill, and he was ashamed thinking that it would be fine if he didn't say anything, the figure behind the cashier quickly settled everything, with a clear and cheerful voice:
"Two packs of Farmhouse white bread, two bottles of Nestle mineral water, a total of 1.44 pounds."
"Oh, thank you..."
Subconsciously handing over 10 pounds, Fangran said in a daze, and after getting 8 pounds 56 pence in change, he stared at the familiar figure in front of him in the uniform of a supermarket employee and remained silent.
"Well... I said, Tang Bingxue, what are you doing here?"
Different from the domestic treatment, Tang Bing, who was sitting behind the cash register, had already changed into a uniform with short sleeves. Hearing Fangran ask her the right answer:
"I work here."
Then you told me that you didn't know where the supermarket was!
Seemingly sensing the speechlessness in Fangran's eyes as he looked at him and the prevarication he was afraid to avoid before, Tang Bing puffed up one side of his cheek in guilt and embarrassment to admit his mistake, then changed the subject and coughed to express his concern. asked:
"Hey, senior, you only buy these two things, hey, what are you doing with so much bread?"
"Because I can eat, there is one person left here who has to learn to save money."
Fangran rolled his eyes and replied truthfully, and while Tang Bing eagerly stretched out the bag for him to make up for his mistakes and put the things in, he asked casually, a little annoyed at this genuine school girl:
"Aren't you here to be an exchange student? What are you doing here to work?"
"Because I don't want to eat dirt."
Um? Eat dirt
Aren't the things here very cheap
Hearing the melancholy on her sad face was a bit strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. Fangran could hardly bear the growling in her stomach, and just wanted to find a place to kill the bag of bread.
But before leaving, Fangran still thought of another important thing. He looked at this school girl who had never met before but met on the streets of London.
"Oh, by the way, junior, do you know where blankets are sold?"
Sitting behind the cash register, the cheerful-eyed girl blinked and pointed to a place to answer:
"I know, senior, you can find it by walking over there."
...
...
Located on an island at a high latitude in the northern hemisphere, London has short days and long nights in October.
In the urban area of Westminster, countless gears rotate inside the old and yellow Elizabeth Tower in the dark, so that the huge pointer on the dial points to the moment of VII,
Yu Xia dimmed in the sky, and boundless darkness surged in.
A whole large city has completed its "work" for the day, and the subway buses that are running normally do not know how many people living here get off, and the street lamps on the British-style streets are lit up one by one,
It's not a warm high-rise building, but a remote rooftop in the urban area, surrounded by cheap blankets, watching the golden lights gradually illuminate the bustling London city in the distance in the coming night. ..
After completing the two goals of securing the source of income and securing the source of food, Fangran spent an afternoon in a dilapidated urban area in the East End of London. Fangran found this roof full of sundries, which could barely replace a tent. A place out of the wind, as a solution to the third goal of ensuring a place to live.
By the way, the cheapest blanket is £8.
Fangran, who still had 56 pence left in his assets, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth after eating the last piece of bread in this pack.
Fuck, luckily I didn't buy that expensive one...
And this dry bread is really worthy of its price...
To be honest, at the moment when I personally experienced the purchasing power of the pound and searched all over the mall but couldn't find a blanket that was cheaper than £8, Fangran's mood was only...
┬─┬︎(￡Д￡*) Evil capitalism!
The roof of this building can't be climbed up by ordinary people except by going through the door. They come up from the roof next to it in the dark night, and use the broken table and chairs next to it to prop up a small space. There is still a bag of bread and water under it. ,
Ensuring the source of income, food, and housing, and suddenly being sent to London with nothing but the ability to lose, finally achieved the primary goal of living in this city for the time being.
Fangran tightened the blanket, looking at the night in London, he had a headache, what should he do next.
He wasn't sure that Shui Linlang didn't know that he was in London now, and he didn't know what kind of power the person who was chasing him was, so he went to the embassy or something like that and returned home by the real-world method.
Fangran didn't know if he could return to China safely.
As for the method of fighting the world at night, he couldn't contact any participant who could help him, and no matter which method,
As long as the A-level leader who gave him a sense of fatality appeared that night, it would be basically all cool.
"Insufficient information."
No matter what he knows so far, he is overwhelmingly too little. He was suddenly thrown to London from the National War, and Fang Ran, who didn't know what action to take for a while, sighed to himself, and swept the street outside the roof railing,
There are still a lot of people, and it's not yet time to go out and play wild.
Then he rolled himself up into a caterpillar with a blanket, and got into the 'tent' he had set up little by little. Fangran, who had no idea about the next fourth goal 'find a way to return to China', decided to sleep first I'll wake up at night and think about it.
Penniless and wandering in a foreign country where the language is poor, the tiredness that has not had a good rest swarms at this moment, and the tense heartstrings are slightly relaxed.
He finally passed the first day of the London Survival Adventure at the beginning of Hell Difficulty,
The memory of the British pound and English falling to the streets flashed back in my mind that day. I ran around for a day to survive, and before I fell asleep, my last thought was powerless eyes.
I should have known...
At that time, I promised Veronica to take care of me...
