After Ruan Qingshuang saw the real Goryeo farmhouse, she couldn't help but marvel that it was not as good as the mountainous area in her hometown!
Zuo Meiyan smiled: "You praise them too much. Our Chinese farmhouses are hundreds of times taller than theirs. The farmhouses here are simply more shabby than the African refugee villages! You are thousands
Don't lift them up."
The place where they are now is only about thirty kilometers away from the city center. The village here is right next to a national highway, which is particularly sad.
"I suddenly thought of a question." Ruan Qingshuang said: "You can always find the same scenes in different dramas. Oppa's mansion has almost remained unchanged for thousands of years...couldn't it all be shot in the same place?"
"What do you think?" Zuo Meiyan said helplessly: "Even rich people in Goryeo cannot be like us Chinese tycoons and can buy houses as toys. The house prices in Goryeo have been so high that I don't know when it started.
It’s about to begin.”
"So the ordinary people living here all live in dilapidated houses like those in Africa?" Ruan Qingshuang smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"I really have to say that the Korean people have a strong psychological endurance." Zuo Meiyan disagreed: "Even in this way, they still have a sense of superiority and feel that they live a better life than the Chinese people. I really don't know if their brains are permanently disabled.
Already."
"Are many generations of people going to live here?" Ruan Qingshuang suddenly felt that the Korean people were a little pitiful.
On the surface, it seems that Goryeo is much wealthier than Laojin next door.
But it's really the same when it comes to the level of ordinary people.
The lives of those individuals with real power in the Lao Jin family are really worse than those of the rich people in Goryeo.
So, in fact, in Korea, the rich are not as rich as the Lao Jin family next door, and the poor are even more difficult than the Lao Jin family next door.
"In Goryeo, those who have a house to live in are already burning incense." Zuo Meiyan shook her head: "There are many people who don't have a house and rent a house, and this is the opposite of China. If a house is rented in Goryeo,
Because the property management of large high-rise apartments is relatively standardized in all aspects and the environmental facilities are in place, living in an apartment is a symbol of middle-class or high-rise social status. Even if there are eight or even ten households in one apartment, the rent is very high.
, most people can’t afford to rent it.”
"Is it difficult to rent a house?" Ruan Qingshuang suddenly thought that she had also had difficulties in Hedong, but it was not that she could not afford to rent a house.
"It is definitely a matter of honor to live in an apartment in Goryeo. This is the ultimate dream of many ordinary people in Goryeo." Zuo Meiyan smiled bitterly: "When I hear that someone lives in such and such an apartment, whether it is renting
Whether they buy it or not, the envy will naturally show in their eyes, you can really see it clearly."
Ruan Qingshuang shook her head helplessly: "I have always felt that ordinary people in China have a lot of pressure in life. Looking at Korea today, they seem to be even more stressed."
"The employment pressure in Korea is really high. It's not because there aren't many positions, but it's because apart from being trainees and other people who want to become stars, all Koreans seem to be pursuing careers as lawyers, professors, doctors, and civil servants.
There are only a few professions like accountants, and no one wants to do other low-level jobs." Zuo Meiyan said: "Almost all those workers who do low-level jobs are foreigners who come to work."
"The employment pressure is so great, why are you still picky about your job position?" Ruan Qingshuang couldn't understand: "It seems that Korean people also care about face."
"It's true, especially now that more than 80% of Korea's college graduates are, you can imagine how fierce the competition must be to get a position as a lawyer or civil servant." Zuo Meiyan shrugged.
Shoulder said.
"They don't live well, maybe the quality of life can be better?" Ruan Qingshuang said, after all, people cannot be judged by their appearance.
Many people like to use their own values to measure others.
Ruan Qingshuang feels that they are also suspected of this now.
Maybe Korean people don't care about the grade of the house, but care more about the quality of life. The house may not look good on the outside, but it's actually good on the inside.
Zuo Meiyan laughed when she heard this: "If you think so, you can just find a family to go in and take a look. At most, they are conventional household appliances such as TVs and refrigerators. The high-tech products that many people in China have at home are not suitable for them.
Dare to imagine.”
"No wonder they can't afford to buy a house. Those who rent a house are living a good life." Ruan Qingshuang sighed: "Actually, they are really miserable like this. They won't live in rented houses for the rest of their lives, right?"
"It's not too miserable if you can afford to rent a house to live in." Zuo Meiyan said: "There is another thing called borrowing a house. This kind of situation does not happen anywhere in China, right? But here it is a legal thing.
As for the way to rent a house, you don’t have to pay rent. Many Koreans like this.”
"Living in vain?" Ruan Qingshuang was stunned when she heard this. This social welfare is too good!
If China had this kind of form, surely all Chinese people would be willing to do it.
"Of course, this does not mean that you can live in such a house without paying a penny. It does require a high deposit. Depending on the market, more than 40% of the house price must be paid as a deposit." Zuo Meiyan said.
: “Although the deposit is high, there are many people in Korea who are willing to do this.”
Ruan Qingshuang frowned: "You don't own the house? You still have to spend nearly half of the money as a deposit. Are they willing?"
"House prices in Korea have been rising for many years. Because half of the country's population lives in Seoul, more than half of the population and families are bearing high housing prices." Zuo Meiyan smiled: "The extremely high housing prices make Koreans even
After working hard for half a life, they can only earn enough for the down payment and half the money for the house. In addition, they will not be able to transfer the rest in the second half of their life, so this money is only enough to pay the deposit for the house."
"Can't we get a loan here?"
"The interest rates are high, much worse than our banks in China." Zuo Meiyan said disdainfully: "Besides, this country has become completely capitalist. In this social environment, it is impossible to live by reducing the cost of daily life.
, the cost of living is not only food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also the maintenance of social reputation and status. Without social reputation and status in Goryeo, your career will be difficult. So there are people who nod and bow down everywhere, and their low profile is because they have no social status."
"But I think the cars driven by the Koreans are pretty good." Ruan Qingshuang said, "Buying a good car shouldn't be so difficult."
"As for face, in Korea, face is very important. Generally, only close relatives can go to the houses of Korean people, and ordinary friends will not go there, so they would rather live as a family in a small house with one bedroom and one living room.
Spend 100 million won to buy a car." Zuo Meiyan said with a mocking tone: "Because no one will see the living environment, but the car can be seen by everyone."
"Why do I feel like this is a bit desperate to save face and suffer the consequences?" Ruan Qingshuang laughed dryly.
Zuo Meiyan nodded: "You are right, Korean people really want to save face and suffer hardship. This is very appropriate."
"I have always felt that people in our country are the most face-conscious in the world. I didn't expect..." Ruan Qingshuang sighed and shook his head.
"How could you not have thought of this?" Zuo Meiyan said: "How many years ago was this land a vassal state of China? Aren't their ancestors all going to pay tribute to our former emperors of China? Aren't they everything?
Did we learn and introduce it here? We Chinese people want face, and they must also want face."
Ruan Qingshuang smiled bitterly: "I'm convinced by you too! Is this okay?"
"That's true." Zuo Meiyan laughed hahaly: "Okay, let's just treat it as a joke. We have walked a lot and visited many places. The time is getting later and later. Let's go
Have a good meal at Luo Yan, you put so much effort into ordering it, you must try it."
The two of them hurried back. In the eyes of Koreans, the most delicious food on weekdays is barbecue, or Korean beef... I really feel sorry for the Koreans, they really haven't eaten anything delicious all day long.
I'm afraid there is only one Korean restaurant that can offer good results in the whole world, "Luoyan", right?
This restaurant serves authentic Korean food, which is the royal cuisine inherited from the royal family and the palace. It is the only Korean restaurant with three Michelin stars in the world.
Zuo Meiyan and Ruan Qingshuang are going back to China tomorrow, so they decided to enjoy this unique Korean meal today. After eating this meal, they will never come to Korea again!
