Sitting on Cai Heng's second-hand Nissan, the three of them embarked on a shopping trip to Wal-Mart.
Yi Sisi looked out the window curiously. The buildings in Lincoln are not high, and most of them only have one or two floors. Although this is the capital of Neizhou, it doesn¡¯t look like a city at first glance. like a small town.
Cai Heng became a volunteer tour guide.
"The Chinese-style building on the left is the largest Chinese restaurant in Lincoln, imperial. palace (Imperial Palace), because there is a Chinese restaurant with the same name in the school, so we call this one the Grand Palace, and the one in the school is called the Little Palace. "
Yi Sisi looked behind the car and took a closer look at the eaves of the Grand Palace that were fading away. It was not a traditional Chinese eaves design, but more like a Southeast Asian style, so she shook her head and sighed in her heart: "Sure enough, I can't find pure eaves in the United States. Chinese flavor."
"There is a western food buffet on the right side of the front, which is quite cheap, 10 knives a person, and the steak is not bad, or else let's come here to eat after shopping." Cai Heng asked Yi Sisi and Tian Yuan for their opinions.
Yi Sisi quickly calculated in her mind, 10 knives multiplied by 6.28 is 62 yuan and 80 cents, isn't that expensive? It only costs 7 to 10 yuan to eat in the university cafeteria every time. The price of the US emperor is not cheap!
Tian Yuan was quite looking forward to the western food buffet, and agreed wholeheartedly. Yi Sisi didn't want to dismiss Cai Heng and Tian Yuan's face, so she nodded helplessly.
The wide parking lot is full of cars of all kinds, ranging from shiny new yellow sports cars to dilapidated red pickups. Cai Heng found the parking space proficiently, and parked the car steadily, in an impartial position.
Entering Wal-Mart, Cai Heng took the initiative to push a shopping cart. Looking at the dazzling variety of goods, as well as the price tags of commodity types that some understand and some do not understand. Yi Sisi was dazzled, carefully looked at the price tag, Yi Sisi took out her phone and turned on the calculator function.
"A box of 18 eggs costs 2.85 knives, about 17 yuan and 9 cents, which is 1 yuan per egg."
"Milk costs 2.75 dollars for two liters, about 17 yuan, which seems to be similar to that in China."
"Cooking oil costs $9.99 for 64 ounces, about 63 yuan, which seems a bit more expensive than domestic."
"Beef costs $4.50 a pound, about 28 yuan a catty, which seems a little cheaper than in China?"
"Who told me that the prices in the United States are cheap? Fairy tales are all lies! Some of these daily necessities are similar to those in China, and most of them are more expensive than in China!" Yi Sisi couldn't complain.
Cai Heng saw Yi Sisi's fingers constantly jumping on the screen of the phone, and he didn't understand what Yi Sisi was thinking.
"People who just came to the United States are like this. They multiply everything by six, and then find that American things are not cheap, especially some small items. After a year, everyone stops multiplying by six and uses a dollar as a dollar. "Cai Heng was full of emotions, as if he had gone through vicissitudes.
"I can't live through this day!" Yi Sisi put her hands on her hips and let out a long sigh.
Tian Yuan also agreed.
"Yeah, I didn't expect these gadgets to be expensive. A bath ball worth one RMB in China costs one dollar here. It's the same price, but it's six times the price."
"That's right, that's right." Yi Sisi held a breath in her mouth, nodded and shook her head from time to time.
Tian Yuan felt that Yi Sisi, the future female doctor, was too cute. If she hadn't talked about her hobbies on the plane, she would have thought she was an anime fan.
"Yi Sisi, your expression is really rich, and your face changes so quickly. Just now you yelled at me fiercely for a while, and apologized softly and shyly for a while. You really studied psychology? No way! You studied law in college. ? Not like! You are learning cos-play. Hey, you are a 'Biao'."
"What does 'Biao' mean?" Yi Sisi tilted her head.
"The Buddha said: 'Do not speak, do not speak'"
Distant memories involuntarily came to mind.
Not long after the first semester of freshman year, Yi Sisi took a bus in Beijing one day, and her wallet was stolen carelessly, containing more than 1,000 yuan in cash, two bank cards and a student ID card. Yi Sisi hurriedly reported the loss of her bank card and student ID card. As for the 1,000 yuan of living expenses, Yi Sisi looked up to the sky and screamed, wanting to cry but not crying. I didn't want my parents to worry about spending money, so I decided to find a part-time job to earn living expenses. It just so happens that Associate Professor Lin, who has been awarded "My Favorite Teacher" by the University of Political Science and Law for many years, is recruiting assistants. Yi Sisi decided to give it a try.
Associate Professor Lin is a researcher at the Institute of Evidence Science, University of Political Science and Law. His research direction is to judge the authenticity of evidence through the expressions and words of suspects or witnesses. But everyone prefers to use two words to explain this research: "polygraph".
Associate Professor Lin is young and handsome, humorous, his courses are alwaysTeam.
"Oh, here are all foreigners." Tian Yuan sighed.
Cai Heng laughed: "To them, we are the foreigners."
After checking out, it cost more than 300 US dollars. The three of them had agreed beforehand that for some daily necessities, such as pots and pans, mops and brooms, the three of them would share the cost equally. So it cost about $100 per person. Yi Sisi once again suffered from liver pain, stomach pain, and meat pain: "More than 600 yuan, I can only earn this much money as an assistant in a domestic school for a month. I can't live through this day!"
"Yi Sisi, has anyone ever told you that you are a wonderful flower?" Tian Yuan did not take Yi Sisi's stinginess seriously.
Yi Sisi understood, as the saying goes, honey is my arsenic. In Tian Yuan's view, the items purchased today are not expensive, but for Yi Sisi, an international student from an ordinary family, whose parents have worked so hard to save RMB and suddenly convert it into US dollars and spend it, how can they not be cautious and not flustered?
Yi Sisi felt a little uncomfortable, but she finally remembered not to show such emotions on her face. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
