"Let's talk, junior,..."
"Senior, has your question at the beginning become a daily routine?"
There were only sporadic customers who were still shopping, and at the moment when they were busy behind the cashier counter with their backs turned, Tang Bing rolled his eyes in no surprise when he heard Fangran's familiar beginning behind him, and then looked speechless. Silently complain:
"Senior, do you think our teacher will tell us everything..."
"Cough, cough! No, what I want to ask today is not that series..."
Wait, did I hear the word 'series' just now...
Turning his head and looking expressionlessly at Fangran who pretended to cough twice, Tang Bing stared at him silently and saw Fangran's index finger gently scratching his cheek, a little ashamed as if he didn't know how to say it Opening:
"You said, if there is such a fugitive who has lost contact abroad without a penny, how will he solve the problem of taking a bath..."
"ah???"
To be honest, after hearing this question, although Tang Bing guessed that the question asked by his strange senior would be very weird, but Tang Bing did not expect it to be so weird, it was because of the other party's open brain circuit that he made a surprised and bewildered voice .
"Cough, I just suddenly thought that it didn't seem to be taught in the movie, so I asked casually, just out of curiosity."
Definitely not wandering around for days and wanting to take a shower or something...
It is only when we really start wandering away from human comforts that we find that every little thing in our daily life is a problem.
by—Fang Ranziji Shuode.
In fact, the fact is that even the place to live can only be wrapped in blankets and clenched under the pile of debris on the roof. Fangran, who has been wandering for five days in "London Survival Adventure", which started on the difficulty of hell, has discovered too much Inconvenient real problems in life,
For example, there is no pillow or no place to wash. At least he can use bricks and a towel and toothbrush to go to the public toilet where there is no one.
Fangran, who knew nothing about foreign cities, was really at his wit's end.
Although he often stays at home during the holidays, he often doesn't take a bath for half a month, which makes Fang's mother a headache for raising such a lazy son...
Looking at Fangran who was actually homeless and could not bear to solve his personal hygiene problems this time, Tang Bing tried hard to think for a while, but this time he didn't come up with an answer with a complicated expression on his face. .
"I have to say... Senior, your question has touched my blind spot of knowledge..."
"By the way, are there no public bathrooms like that in foreign countries?"
Fangran, who had never lived abroad before, suddenly became curious when he noticed this problem, and noticed the differences between countries in this real-life problem.
"I don't know about other countries, but Britain should have them. After all, Rome used to occupy here, but the ones I know are spas and massages with cheap tickets. As for whether there are public and affordable bathhouses like domestic ones ... "
With his index finger resting on his chin, his eyes drifted up while thinking, and at the end Tang Bing blushed a little, not knowing what he was doing, and for some reason, his index fingers turned away from each other...
"I didn't really think about it before you asked me, senior, but I guess there is, because I know the bathhouse called Chariots...."
"Oh!? Where is it!?"
"Uh....in South London, but it seems like a place where gays like to go (guilty)...."
Fangran: "..."
Junior, are you trying to push me into the pit of fire (losing expression)...
(?_?lll) And why do you know this kind of thing.
He didn't hear the solution, Fangran's voice dropped an octave, and he forced a smile with dead eyes, and then asked another question:
"The school girl, do you know where to buy cheap clothes?"
"Is it cheaper to buy clothes?"
As if he had heard some 'keyword', Tang Bing became energetic like a cat's ears, and then excitedly said:
"Senior, do you want to go shopping and buy clothes!?"
"Ah... Let's just say..."
"Hmph! Then senior, you are asking the right person! Let me, a dormitory money-saving expert and discount shopping devil, tell you the money-saving tricks abroad!"
The attitude of the last question was completely different, as if he had bumped into his own field of expertise, Fangran could see that the proud Tang Bing's eyes were almost gleaming, and he was eloquent as if he had opened a chatterbox. He talked about where, when, and how to buy the cheapest major shopping guides,
You can buy a whole body of Primark for just a little over 10 pounds, what is the must-see Oxford Street when traveling, what to seize during the two major discounts during the summer vacation and Christmas, go to Marylebone to find some luxury and a little shopping,
Fang Ran was in a cloud of fog when he heard it, his eyes were staring straight...
I didn't remember a single English store name.
After listening to it for ten minutes, Fangran looked at Tang Bing, who probably knew how to use various discounts, and looked like an 'elite fighter for Double Eleven', with a little admiration in his speechless voice. Complicated opening said:
"How should I put it... junior girl, you are really good at saving money..."
Tang Bing, who was talking about excitement, covered his chest after hearing what Fangran said, with a bitter 'smile' on his tired and unloved face:
"Senior, do you know why I am so thin?"
"Um, why?"
"Because of being poor."
"Don't say such sad words."
Tang Bing's serious words brought back memories of his childhood when his family wasn't very rich. Thinking back to the memories of passing by those toy stores and KFC every time, Fangran was speechless with the same vicissitudes,
Then looking at Tang Bing, who seemed to be thin because of frugality and work-study, he couldn't help but asked with twitching corners of his mouth:
"By the way, aren't the prices in London supermarkets quite cheap? Why do you still look like you can't afford to live?"
“The prices in the supermarket are quite cheap... .”
After hearing Fangran's speechless question, Tang Bing answered weakly and out of his wits, and then the whole person suddenly grabbed him, shook him and shouted:
"(?≧Д≦)? But other things are expensive!!!"
Although she was grabbed by her and shook wildly, compared with her brother's "I won't shake you to death, I will take your surname", it was more like a coquettish level of strength. The topic of the whole person almost broke down and shouted.
"Even if I am responsible for cooking occasionally, the monthly rent for Mrs. Isis will cost more than 600 pounds!"
That's right, this is the answer to the question we asked before. Although the prices in London supermarkets are very cheap, if you study here, the rent is still the biggest expense. The three options of homestay, school dormitory, and renting a house by yourself have their own advantages and disadvantages. Whether you don’t worry or not depends on your fate and face, and depending on your location in and outside of London, the monthly rent ranges from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds.
And apart from rent issues... .
"And deposits, agents, and bills are not counted. Queen's College is in the city center! Senior, do you know how much the transportation costs for a month even if I have an Oyster card!?"
Still finding that he couldn't shake Fangran but tired himself to death, Tang Bing gasped and looked at Fangran sadly and angrily with a flushed face. From what she said, he realized that studying abroad was not easy and life was complicated. It is indeed a bit simple to ask tentatively:
"That... Is the traffic in London very expensive...?"
Then I saw Tang Bing's eyes were as depressed as if his heart had died, and he glanced at him with a depressed look and replied in a daze:
"A one-way ticket for adults without a card in the first to third districts costs 4.9, and the more districts you cross, the more expensive it is."
"That's not much more expensive..."
Eh....wait! Adult fare 4.9... .
∑(°口°!!!)? Pound! ? !
Still a one-way fare!
