Chapter 869 Good Food

It took Li Chunlan a long time to learn about these things that happened in the country. After learning about it, she didn't show any gloating emotions, but just smiled lightly.

It is useless to snatch something that does not belong to you.

Li Chunlan and Shi Jingning got off the plane in Hopkins City, the city where Hopkins University is located. This time it was a long-distance flight, and the mid-haul flight also made a stopover in the capital of country M.

As soon as he got off the plane, William had already arranged for someone from the Hopkins branch to pick up Li Chunlan. This was a blond, blue-eyed young man with a pleasant smile. In order to welcome Li Chunlan, he even learned a few sentences of Chinese.

Hearing this young man say hello in absurd Mandarin, Li Chunlan couldn't help but think of her own English, which probably sounds the same to real foreigners.

The Hopkins branch helped Li Chunlan rent an apartment near the school. Because it is close to the city, it is hard to find a single-family house. This apartment is a three-story apartment with a history of 30 to [-] years.

However, the quality of the buildings in Country M is relatively good. Even if it has a history of 30 to [-] years, the appearance and internal facilities of the apartment are very good.

According to the young man in the branch office, this building is not considered old in their place. They still have buildings in the 60s and [-]s that are still in use, and they are very good.

The landlord of the apartment is a very kind white old lady, she is round and chubby, her only shortcoming is that she can't understand Li Chunlan's rustic English.

Fortunately, the young man in the branch office has already helped Li Chunlan complete the preparatory work, and Li Chunlan still has time to hone her English.

The young man from the branch helped Li Chunlan deal with these matters, declined the invitation of Li Chunlan and his wife to invite him to dinner, and left in a hurry.

The husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief and freed up their energy to look at Li Chunlan's residence for the next three years.

The apartment that Li Chunlan rents has only two rooms and one bedroom. The bedroom has a bathroom with shower facilities, but hot water is charged separately.There is also a living room plus a living room, and the kitchen is just a stove in the corner of the living room.

Neither Li Chunlan nor Shi Jingning had ever used the natural gas stove here, and the young man from the Hopkins branch hadn't thought about it, and hadn't taught the two of them.

The two had no choice but to ask the landlord's old lady for advice. It was difficult for everyone to communicate with each other, and it took a lot of effort to learn how to use other people's stoves.

The landlady said with a smile, "My tenants rarely cook, and everyone usually eats out!"

Li Chunlan smiled, she has been to country M, and it is okay to have a meal or two of hamburgers here occasionally, but if she eats it all at once, then she can't stand it!

Both the husband and wife are young, energetic, and have no time to rest for jet lag. After asking the old lady of the landlady where to buy daily necessities, they set off happily.

At this time, it was the most developed and prosperous era in country M. Their country had not been affected by the economic crisis yet, and the hypermarkets were rich in commodities with high quality and low prices.

When Li Chunlan saw those watches and electrical appliances, she felt that they were unbelievably cheap.

On the contrary, the prices of agricultural and sideline products, fruits and vegetables are very high.

Clothing and daily necessities are the same as those in China, and they are also divided into grades. Naturally, the prices of good things and branded goods are a little higher.

But on the whole, the product styles here are much more trendy than those in China.

The couple wandered around the hypermarket, and found that all the things that were marked with promotions and discounts were surprisingly cheap. They asked the salesperson and learned that the promotions here would be held irregularly, and the products that were promoted would be different every time. same.

The husband and wife just came from China, and with the idea of ​​living thriftyly, they put aside those less important things first, and planned to buy them later when they were discounted. They only bought the things that are necessary for life now, food and vegetables and some daily necessities.

Shi Jingning was going to discuss business, so Li Chunlan bought him a set of T-shirts and trousers that white-collar workers often wear. After Shi Jingning put them on, he immediately transformed into an elite of country M. It seems that a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. Makes sense.

After the couple bought something, they found that most of the people who came to the hypermarket were driving cars. It turned out that Hopkins is a big city, and cars have become popular as a means of transportation.

Shi Jingning smiled and said to Li Chunlan, "When you were in China, you were asked to learn to drive but you didn't learn to drive. Now it's all right. You still have to learn here!"

The husband and wife have already inquired about the life of foreign students here.

People usually rent an apartment near the school, and then find a restaurant or convenience store to work part-time. After passing the language barrier and entering school, they will find a classmate who is about to graduate and buy a cheap second-hand car as a means of transportation.

Li Chunlan also knew that she would have to drive in the near future, she scratched her hair in distress, "Let's find a job first!"

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, Li Chunlan is very smart, and other motor cells are also very strong, but she is not good at learning to drive. Not only is her reaction slower than others, but many operations are also wrong.

So when Li Chunlan heard about learning to drive, she felt a headache.

The husband and wife returned to the apartment with a smile, and decided to go around the city after cooking a meal at home to see if there were any job opportunities.

As for Shi Jingning's business, he's not in a hurry, he's going to talk about it after Li Chunlan's side is settled.

There is no rapeseed oil in country M. Shi Jingning and Li Chunlan looked at all kinds of edible oils in the hypermarket, and finally chose peanut oil. I don't know how it tastes in cooking?

As for the vegetables, they only chose simple tomatoes, eggs, vegetables and green peppers, and two sections of original sausage.

After returning to the apartment, Shi Jingning washed the vegetables, and Li Chunlan steamed the rice and started cooking. They made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried sausages with green peppers, and green vegetables with garlic. Finally, they made a seaweed egg drop soup with seaweed brought from China.

Simple three dishes and one soup were put on the table, and the two each filled a bowl of white rice. Just as they were about to start, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"It's really strange. Could it be that the landlady didn't tell us anything else?" Shi Jingning was very puzzled, and got up to open the door himself. The chubby landlady was standing at the door, but besides her, there were two other people he didn't know. White tenants.

The landlady smiled brightly, and her attitude was more cordial than before, "Honey, have you cooked yet? Why does it smell so good to me?"

Shi Jingning was stunned for a moment, and following the hospitable habits of the oriental people, he invited the landlady's wife to have dinner with him.

The landlady readily accepted, and the two tenants standing behind her were eager to move, and it took a long time to stammer to express their wishes. It turned out that they also thought it was delicious, and wanted to exchange their own food for some of Shi Jingning's and theirs' food.

Shi Jingning and Li Chunlan couldn't help laughing when they heard this incredible request.
