The Magician of Clow

Chapter 859 Construction site English and sports mathematics for working in supermarkets
Many, many times, many, many times,
The gap in reality is caused by the gap in yourself.

You can go all over the world in a famous university, but you may not be able to get out of this mountain if you don't know a word.

Money, status, connections, prestige, power, knowledge, family, friends, etc. countless things constitute the foundation that supports your life in this world and determine the height you stand.

What was London to Fang Ran before?

It's probably Big Ben, the streets of England, St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster, the London Eye and the British Museum, the Landholm Building in the Financial City, which he regarded as a 'trap', and his debut in the world of Night War. A stage for A-level battles.

But after arriving in this kind of city in person, Fang Ran found it to me,
It's the British pound, it's a supermarket, it's a street that is only active in a few blocks, and it's a remote rooftop that is not known for a short time.

It was a huge labyrinth of streets full of English, people speaking a language he barely understood.

At night on the rooftop surrounded by blankets, Fang Ran looked at London in the distance. In the simulated scene, he could easily cross thousands of meters and rush to an altitude of nearly [-] meters, with buildings in between them. fell in the aftermath of the battle, the whole city was their battlefield,

But now it takes him more than an hour to walk from where he sleeps to the supermarket,

London suddenly got bigger.

“.do you have uh.membership card?.”

"Three four, five eight, one two three four, sixteen, eighteen. The total is not right. The nineteen pounds and eighty pence"

". have twenty pounds from you"

"Twenty penceis your change, here you are."

At the exit of the supermarket in Stratford, next to the checkout counter, he nimbly scans the barcode of the product, and quickly taps out a bunch of numbers with his fingers to add up. sloppy speech,
Fang Ran quickly put the salmon, pork, beef, and various vegetables bought by the lady in front of him into a bag, and handed it to her along with the change.

London time, 5:30pm.
It was the time when most people got off work, and it was also the time when there were the most people in this supermarket. At this moment, Fang Ran was back to back with Tang Bing, dealing with the long queue of customers waiting to check out.

"Oh, Competent boy."

There was not much time to wait for the service, which surprised a blond housewife in front of her, and left with satisfaction with her bag.

But to be honest, it's easy to respond politely with a smile
I actually didn't understand what she said.

When I was free in the afternoon, I had learned from Tang Bing how to check out customers and some simple cashier terms. Fang Ran, who officially started 'part-time work', unexpectedly discovered that dealing with people and things was not as difficult as he thought.

Mainly because he found that in London, England, the spoken language spoken by foreigners is also some simple sentences and basic words for junior high school and high school, not as complicated as his lovely and charming Grade [-] English,
Of course, when the other party speaks too fast and has words beyond the level of junior high school, he should not understand or not understand.
However, this is not important!
Based on the principle that Tang Bing rolled his eyes and taught him in the afternoon, 'You don't care what others say, the settlement is over', Fang Ran felt that in just half an hour of part-time work,

Have been able to use 'do you have a membership card? ', 'How much is the total amount', 'How much is it for you', 'How much is it for you', etc.

I feel my rapid growth in a pure English environment.

Is this the effect of the environment?
"Am I actually very talented in English?"

"Senior, stop dreaming, okay! What is it about your English on the construction site that can make you have such an illusion!"

Then, when Fang Rangang murmured these words in a daze, he was immediately complained by Tang Bing with a terrified and collapsed face behind him, and then he was so busy that he lost his life. Bah!Lost mouth:
"Would you speed up the time to talk in your sleep, there will be more and more people in a while!"

"But I seem to be faster than you here."

"What!!!∑(((Дノ)ノ!?"

Supermarket cashier is actually a very simple job, the main thing is to be quick and accurate in calculating money. After spending ten minutes to get used to it, Fang Ran quickly realized that he seemed to be quite good at it.

Well, after all, simple math like calculation and valuation is something before high school, and everything I learned before high school is quite good, not to mention that it is more than enough to handle a collection and settlement with the reflexes of the participants.

Then Fang Ran slowly discovered on the way
The British are really bad at maths (cover their faces and cry).

After a wife in her 30s bought something worth 17 pounds and 47 pence, she took the 2 pounds and 53 pence that Fangran gave him and counted it for about half a minute.
Fang Ran, who was busy beside her, doubted his life with straight eyes, and finally nodded when he thought that he had made a mistake and left with confidence.

Then there is the fact that when he saw the fraction of 10P, 20P, and 1 pound, he completely subconsciously tried to use his own English with pickles, kowtow and say 'Do you just hava fraction, so I can After looking for you Zhang Zheng's words like this,
Often more than half of the people will be stunned, and then ask in a very puzzled tone, feeling very dazed:
"Ha? Why?"

To be honest, the first time I heard why, Fang Ran was speechless and doubted whether their elementary school math was taught by a physical education teacher.

It turns out that the school girl was not a black British mathematician before (Khan)
In fact, as Fang Ran has seen, in addition to working while sitting, the cashiers in supermarkets in the UK are often very stubborn looking for a lot of coins. You are used to the principle of finding money and you can't see it here.

Maybe it’s because the language can’t be as condensed and concise as Chinese. No such thing as Xiao Jiujiu has been born before. The math of ordinary people in the UK is really bad, regardless of whether the widely circulated former Prime Minister and Minister of Education really can’t answer 9× 8 and 11×12 such problems,

However, previous reports have shown that the UK loses more than 200 billion pounds a year due to insufficient mathematical ability, which is estimated to account for 1.3% of GDP. Even in the most conservative way, the loss is still as high as 67 billion pounds, accounting for 0.4% of GDP.

But it is amazing that the highest award in mathematics, the Fields Medal, has been won by 7 people in the United Kingdom, second only to France and the United States. For those Nobel Prizes in science, a total of 69 people in the United Kingdom have won it, ranking second in the world. The familiar Newton, the unfamiliar Bertrand Russell, Alan Turing, and Isaac Barrow are all British.

But don't talk about these, there are some, when the supermarket is the most crowded during this off-duty period, maybe it is because the settlement is fast and you will not be found a lot of coins.
Fang Ran looked at him and Tang Bing in a fixed-length queue at the cash register, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and finally understood why Tang Bing said earlier that he was willing to recruit Huaxia students to work here.

щ(°Д°#щ) The eldest sister on the other side of his meow is just as slow as you, so why did you make it if you were unemployed in our country!

I don’t know if it’s because I use [Double Cards] too much. Fang Ran is still thinking about complaining at the same time as the cashier settles accounts. It is also customary to tear off the receipt and slip, just when I was about to put everything into the bag,
The woman in front of her suddenly screamed in anger, stopping Fang Ran's movements while pointing at the salmon, vegetables, fruits, and bread and jam she bought.
Tiliu baldly said something that Fang Ran didn't quite understand.

Fang Ran: "(~;)En"

Glancing at this stinky old woman, Fang Ran pondered for a second, and then recalled the last thing that his careful schoolgirl emphasized to him before the start of part-time work.

'Ah, yes, by the way, senior, ordinary customers won't say anything to you. If you encounter a picky customer by accident, don't, don't speak in your construction site English! '

<(￣へ￣>#) hum~ (pinch waist unhappy.jpg)

Elbow slapped the school girl behind him, Fang Ran rolled his eyes in a low voice and said:

"Hey, school girl, school girl, change sides, the idea here is a bit tricky."

It was precisely because he had been working here for more than a month that he had not yet started the first day of the construction site and was deeply affected by Fang Ran's high efficiency in English, so Tang Bing was concentrated, and when he heard this, he made a dazed voice.

"Ha!?"

"Quick! Quick, I'm going to put my salmon and beef in separate bags, and then the vegetables and bananas will also be separated from the rest"

"Ah, ah, here I come, I'm sorry, I'll pack it for you."

Then, when the old woman who had made many demands was clamoring for various demands again, and hurriedly stepped forward to respond, Tang Bing heard that Fang Ran, who was still faster than himself, cheered him on in a low voice.

"Go on! Junior! Give her some color see see!"

Go to his god give her some color see see!

Senior, is your construction site English still in bulk? ?

　Pfft, the sequelae of the liver burst yesterday, I didn't want to write at all during the day, and finally I felt a little bit starting to code at night, alas, I'm too hard
