Chapter 745: Budget-conscious wandering in London (Part 2)
Yi Fang Ran's never left the country (crossed out)
Yi Fang Ran's shallow understanding of never living a serious life in a foreign country and having no knowledge of economic related knowledge. He always thought that even if there is exchange rate, it would only involve cross-border trade.
Therefore, all kinds of currencies should be similar in their own country. One pound in the UK is equivalent to one dollar in China.
But after seeing a bag of bread in front of me only 70 pence or 7 pounds, what currency value, national wealth, productivity level, and inflation are gone in my mind. I thought about it very simply after I had a bread in Beijing for at least three or four yuan.
Fang Ran suddenly felt that he was holding a "huge sum of money".
He looked at the shelves in front of him. The simple annotations were priced in plastic English like him. Most of them were small numbers of 0:00 or 0:00.
A piece of bread is 7 pounds, which means you can buy ten yuan and have three pounds left...
(°Д°!) Are prices in the UK so low?
That's right,
In contrast to the impression that the British Empire's imperial capital was in normal and cheap.
You may say that by exchange rate, a bag of bread worth nearly seven yuan is not cheap, but don't forget one thing,
People earn more than you (relentlessly rolling their eyes)...
Can a bag of bread be the same for you and others (blame again)?
Working in London's most average employee earns 15 pounds a month, while ordinary people are about 2 oooo.
At the exchange rate of 1:9.5, it will probably be about 20,000 yuan in nearly a month.
Tell me what position I should be in if I exchange this income for...
And based on how much you have to spend in a month on your current income...
How about it, you understand. That is to say, in London, you go to the market twice a week, spend 25 pounds at a time, and take out 200 pounds a month, and eat whatever you want with a salary of about one tenth. Is this "price" not low?
In fact, this is true. Not to mention complex and professional things such as productivity and commodity economy, although the British Empire went out to have a small case of several dozen pounds, they all spent the cost of eating at home, that is, the Engels coefficient was only 8%.
But even so, why do you always listen to the people who have studied in London saying that the expenses are not low and you have to save money?
Oh, let's leave this question until we'll talk about it next time.
The most critical issue at the moment is,
Fang Ran squatted in front of the shelves of the market, holding the only 10 pounds, wondering whether he should buy this large bag of sesame bread that costs only 60 pence, or a large bag of meat floss bread next to him, which costs 90 pence.
As for the £1.2 three-slice ham sandwich on the top of my head...
That's not within his consideration.
Suddenly, he felt an unprecedented reality experience. Fang Ran was suddenly confused and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about the problems he was troubled now.
True, a few days ago, he was still squatting in the high-end ingredients he didn't know, such as Emperor Crab, Bluefin Tuna, etc., but now he is squatting in a corner of the city and hesitating for a price difference of a few dollars.
It feels like I've changed back to my former self...
From the participant who has the [Chuangpai] wants anything and everything, and back to the ordinary person who is worried about food, Fang Ran laughed and got rid of the previous panic and loss. From the night war world to the real world, he fell back to the city he was in. He clearly just returned to the same as before, but he had a novel feeling.
Then he put the 9opc meat floss bread back on the shelf, picked up the most ordinary bag of white bread that costs only 55pcs, and went to find the same thing he needed.
Speaking of the last time I came to the city, I came with my senior sister...
Walking through the shelves, Fang Ran looked for something he wanted to buy, and when he saw that the fruit area was full of various fruits, one pound per bag, the first thing he thought of was Xia Yao in this retail label that belonged to his daily category.
I don’t know what the senior sister is doing now, ah... oh... oh...
After an accident in this national war, I will be scolded by Xiaoran again when I go back...
Passing by Evian, who was discounting six bottles of 3 pounds, and when he picked up a bottle of 2L of unknown mineral water that was only 17 pence, Fang Ran had a headache and thought that he did not explain to Fang Xiaoran that he was not in school this time.
never mind...
But in the end, Fang Ran looked at the bread and water in his hand and walked towards the exit to prepare for payment of the bill.
Before you worry about going back and getting scolded, you have to find a way to go back first...
Then he thought about it and walked towards the cashier at the city exit. There were not many people queuing up at this time in the morning. Fang Ran chose a nobody and walked over, taking out the things in the shopping basket.
"I want this...well, that...I..."
Wait, what do you want to tell someone when paying the bill? I didn’t seem to have learned it in class before (silly)...
Just when Fang Ran stayed for two seconds, he didn't know what to say when paying the bill, and was ashamed to think that it would be fine if he didn't say it, the figure behind the cashier quickly settled everything, and his voice was crisp and cheerful:
"Two packs of Farmhouse white bread, two bottles of Nestlé mineral water, a total of 1.44 pounds."
"Oh, thank you..."
Subconsciously handed over 10 pounds, Fang Ran said blankly, and then after getting 8 pounds and 56p in change, he stared at the familiar figure in front of him wearing the uniform of the city staff.
"That...I said, Junior Sister Tang Bing, what are you doing here?"
Unlike the domestic treatment, Tang Bing, who was sitting behind the cashier, had already changed into her uniform and short-sleeved shirts. When she heard Fang Ran ask this, she should have answered:
"I'm working here."
Then you told me that you don’t know where the city is!
It seemed that he felt the speechlessness in Fang Ran's eyes and his previous evasion. Tang Bing felt guilty and embarrassed and bulged his cheek and admitted his mistake. Then he changed the subject and coughed and asked with concern:
"Well, senior, you only buy these two things. Oh, why did you buy so much bread?"
"Because I can eat, there is another person who is left here to learn to save money."
Fang Ran rolled his eyes and answered truthfully, and then, as Tang Bing quickly and enthusiastically stretched the bag for him to make up for his merits and put the things in, he asked casually at this genuine schoolgirl a little unhappy:
"Aren't you here to be an exchange student? Why are you working here?"
"Because I don't want to eat dirt."
Hum? Eat dirt?
Aren't the stuff here very cheap?
Listening to her bitter face, she was a little strange, but she didn't ask too much, Fang Ran was almost unable to stand the glutton in her stomach, and just wanted to find a place to kill a bag of bread.
But before leaving, Fang Ran still remembered another important thing and looked at this schoolgirl whom he had never known before but met on the streets of London.
"Oh, by the way, junior sister, do you know where to sell blankets?"
Sitting behind the cashier, the cheerful girl blinked and pointed at a place to answer:
"I know, senior, you can find it by walking there."
...
...
Located in the high latitude of the northern hemisphere, October in London is short in the day and long in the night.
In downtown Westminster, countless gears rotate inside the ancient and dim Elizabeth Tower in the dim, making the huge pointer on the dial pointer point to the VII moment,
The afterglow in the sky disappeared, and endless darkness surged.
A whole large city has completed its "work" for a day. I don't know how many people living here are walking down the normal subway bus. Street lights on the British-style streets are lit up one after another.
It is not a warm high-rise building, but a remote rooftop in the city, surrounded by cheap blankets. Fang Ran watched the golden lights gradually illuminate the bustling downtown London in the distance in the upcoming dark night...
After completing the two goals of ensuring economic and food sources, it took an afternoon to find a very dilapidated urban area in the East End of London. Fang Ran found a roof full of debris, which could barely replace the windproof place of the tent, as a solution to the third goal of ensuring shelter.
By the way, this cheapest blanket is £8.
Fang Ran, who had 56p left in the assets, couldn't help but suck the corner of his mouth after eating the last slice of bread.
Fortunately, I didn't buy the expensive one...
And this dry bread is worthy of its price...
To be honest, when I personally experienced the purchasing power of pounds and searched all the malls but couldn't find a cheaper blanket than £8, Fang Ran was in a mood only...
┬─┬,(£Д £*)Everything capitalism!
The roof of this building cannot be climbed up except by the door. It takes advantage of the dark night to come from the roof next to it, and a small space is built with the broken table and a broken chair next to it. There is still a bag of bread and water left under it.
Ensure the source of income, ensure food, ensure shelter, the incapacity and nothingness were suddenly teleported to London, and finally achieved the goal of temporarily living in the city,
Fang Ran tightened his blanket and looked at the night in London and had a headache. What should I do next?
He was not sure that Shui Linlang had not predicted that he was in London now, and he didn't know what kind of force the person who was chasing him was, so he rashly went to the embassy and other places to go to the real world to return home.
Fang Ran didn't know if he could return to China safely.
As for the way to fight the world at night, he could not contact any participants who could help him, and no matter which way,
As long as the A-level superior who gave you a fatal feeling that night appears, it will be basically all cold.
“Insufficient intelligence….”
No matter what you know, it is too little overwhelming. From the sudden outbreak of the National War, Fang Ran, who had no idea what action to take for a moment, sighed and swept the street outside the rooftop railing.
There are still many people, and it is not time to go out to play jungle.
Then he rolled himself into a caterpillar with a blanket and drilled into the tent he had set up bit by bit. Fang Ran, who had no idea about the next fourth goal, "finding a way to return to China", decided to sleep for a while and wake up at night before considering this issue.
I wandered in a foreign country where I was penniless for a day, and the feeling of fatigue that I had not had a good rest flocked to this moment, and my tense heartstring nerves were slightly relaxed.
He finally spent his first day in the London Survival Adventure, which started in the difficult situation in hell.
The memory of this day about pounds flashed back in my mind, and English became the streets. I ran around for a day to survive. Before I fell asleep, my last thought was rolling my eyes powerlessly.
Have known...
