Chapter 754 Real problems that urgently need to be solved
"Speaking of which, junior sister,..."
"Senior, has the question you asked at the beginning become a daily routine?"
There were only a few customers left who were still shopping. They were busy behind the checkout counter with their backs to each other, listening to Fangran's familiar beginning behind him.
Tang Bing rolled his eyes without being surprised at all, and then complained silently with a speechless face:
"Senior, do you think our teachers will tell us everything..."
"Cough, cough! No, it's not that series I want to ask about today..."
Wait, did I just hear the word 'series'...
Turning his head and looking expressionlessly at Fang Ran, who pretended to cough twice, Tang Bing stared at him silently and saw Fang Ran lightly scratching his cheek with the tip of his index finger, slightly ashamed as if he didn't know what to say.
Opening:
"You said that if there is a fugitive who has lost contact abroad without a penny, how will he solve the bathing problem..."
"ah???"
To be honest, after hearing this question, although I guessed that the question asked by my strange senior would be very strange, Tang Bing did not expect it to be such a strange question.
Or it was because the other party's open brain circuit made a sound of surprise and confusion.
"Ahem...I just suddenly remembered that it didn't seem to be taught in the movie, so I just asked, just out of curiosity."
It's definitely not like I've been wandering around for several days and wanted to take a shower or something...
Only when you break away from human comfort facilities and truly start wandering will you discover that every little thing in your daily life is a problem.
by——Fangranzki Shuode.
In fact, even the accommodation can only be rolled up with a blanket and tightly held under the debris pile on the rooftop.
Fang Ran, who had been wandering for five days in the "London Survival Adventure" that started on this hellish difficulty level,
I have discovered too many practical problems that are inconvenient in life.
For example, if there is no pillow or no place to wash, he can still solve it by using bricks and carrying a towel and toothbrush to an empty public toilet.
But things like not being able to take a shower or changing clothes,
Fangran, who knew nothing about foreign cities, was really at his wits end.
Although he often stayed at home during the holidays without taking a shower for half a month, it gave Fang's mother a headache as to why she had raised such a lazy son...
It seems that it is actually because he is homeless. This time, Fangran, who can't stand it even himself, needs to urgently solve the problem of personal hygiene.
Tang Bing thought hard for a while, but this time he couldn't come up with an answer with a complicated expression on his face.
"I have to say...Senior, your question touches on my knowledge blind spot..."
"By the way, aren't there such public bathrooms abroad?"
Fang Ran, who had never lived abroad, suddenly became curious when he noticed this problem.
National differences were noted on this real-life issue.
"I don't know about other countries, but there should be some in the UK. After all, Rome occupied this place before, but the ones I know about are spas with expensive tickets, massages, etc."
"As for whether there are public and affordable bathhouses like those in China..."
He put his index finger on his chin and said with eyes floating up as he thought. At the end of the sentence, Tang Bing felt slightly ashamed and he didn't know why. For some reason, his index fingers pointed at each other and he turned his head...
"I really hadn't thought about it before you asked me, senior, but I guess it is, because I know the bathhouse is called Chariots..."
"Oh!? Where is it!?"
"Well...it's in South London, but it seems to be a place where gays like to go (feeling guilty)..."
Fang Ran: "..."
School girl, do you want to push me into the fire pit (lost expression)...
(?_?lll) And why do you know this kind of thing.
Not hearing the solution, Fangran lowered his voice an octave, forced a smile with a dead look in his eyes, and then changed the question and asked:
"Senior sister, do you know any place where I can buy clothes cheaply?"
"Is it cheap to buy clothes?"
As if he heard some "keyword", Tang Bing perked up like a cat's ears, and then spoke excitedly:
"Senior, do you want to go shopping for clothes!?"
"Ah... well... let's just call it that..."
"Humph! Then senior, you've asked the right person! Let me, a little expert in saving money in the dormitory and a big devil in discount shopping, tell you the secrets of saving money abroad!"
The attitude is completely different from the previous question. It seems that I have hit my own field of expertise.
Fangran could see Tang Bing's eyes almost sparkling with pride,
As if she had opened up a chat box, she talked endlessly to him about where, when and how to buy things, the cheapest shopping guides,
You can buy an entire Primark outfit for just over 10 pounds, and Oxford Street is a must-visit when traveling.
Why not take advantage of the two major discounts during the summer vacation and Christmas to go to Marylebone to buy some light luxury products?
Fangran was confused when he heard this, his eyes were straight...
I can’t even remember a single English store name.
After listening to it for more than ten minutes, Fangran looked at Tang Bing, who probably knew how to use various discounts, and looked like a 'Double Eleven elite warrior'.
Wei Wei was speechless and said with a hint of admiration:
"How can I put it...Senior sister, you are really good at saving money..."
Tang Bing, who was talking excitedly, heard Fang Ran say this and covered his chest with a tired and unloved bitter smile:
"Senior, do you know why I am so thin?"
"Uh, why?"
"Because of poverty."
"Don't tell such sad truths."
Tang Bing, who said this seriously, brought back memories of his childhood when his family was not very wealthy. He recalled the memories of passing by those toy stores and KFC every time.
Fangran looked speechless with the same vicissitudes of life,
Then looking at Tang Bing, who seemed to be thin due to frugality and work-study, he couldn't help but asked with a twitching corner 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, my schoolmate?"
"The prices in supermarkets are quite cheap..."
After hearing Fang Ran's speechless question, Tang Bing replied weakly and in despair, and then suddenly grabbed him and shook him wildly, shouting:
“(?≧Д≦)?But other things are expensive!!!”
Although he was shaken wildly when he was grabbed by her, compared with his brother's "I'll take your last name until I shake you to death", it was more like a coquettish level.
Fangran heard that Tang Bing must have been saving money since he was a child. When this topic was mentioned, he almost collapsed and shouted.
"Even if I am responsible for cooking occasionally, the monthly rent for working for Mrs. Isis will be more than 600 pounds! If converted into RMB, it would be more than 5,000 yuan!"
Yes, this is the answer to the question we mentioned before. Although the prices in London supermarkets are very cheap,
But if you study abroad here,
Rent is still the biggest expense. The three options of homestay, school dormitory, and renting by yourself have their own pros and cons. Whether you save money or worry depends on your fate and your appearance at the same time.
Depending on the location within and outside London, the monthly rent ranges from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds.
And apart from the rent issue...
"And the deposit, agency, water and electricity are not included. Queen's College is in the city center! Senior, do you know how much a month's transportation costs even if I have an Oyster card!?"
Still finding that he couldn't shake Fang Ran, he was almost exhausted to death. Tang Bing panted with a reddish face and looked at Fang Ran sadly and angrily.
From her words, she realized that studying abroad is not easy and life is complicated.
Fangran found that what he was thinking was indeed a bit simplistic and tentatively asked:
"Um...Is transportation in London very expensive...?"
Then he saw Tang Bing's eyes were as dejected as if his heart had died, and he glanced at him with a depressed look, leaning to one side and replying absentmindedly:
"The one-way ticket price for adults without a card in Zones 1 to 3 is 4.9. The more zones you cross, the more expensive it is."
