Chapter 1095 Reasons for Going Far Away

Han Li came to Christ Church College with great expectations, but left disappointed.

However, Han Li didn't gain anything. The moment he saw the door was closed, he was a little unwilling to give up. He immediately used up his mental strength to see what was going on inside.

Unfortunately, Han Li's mental power range was only a pitiful 12.06 meters, and there was no way to clearly see what was going on inside.

Although he didn't fully see the situation, Han Li found four small language-related jade beads near the door.

After Han Li entered the decomposition space, he discovered that this is the Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, Welsh and Cornish languages ​​that are currently used in many places in England and are officially recognized.

These four very, very, very small languages, Han Li didn't take them seriously at all from the beginning.

Under the emotional influence of not being able to watch the sorting ceremony inside, he even had the idea of ​​not wanting to absorb it at first.

However, this idea was thrown out of Han Li's mind before he went very far, because these four relatively small languages ​​were exactly the help he needed to obtain high credits.

It can be said that with the help of these four officially recognized minor languages ​​in England, Han Li will have more time to hang out and play outside the school.

Han Li felt much better when he thought about this, and he felt more energetic when he lifted his legs and walked.

Next, Han Li went to a musical instrument store and bought a guitar.

I bought a set of pencils of different types, as well as an easel, a painting folder, and drawing paper in a stationery store, and I was going to find a place with a lot of traffic to start my career of setting up a stall and performing arts.

Soon Han Li fell in love with a place. To be on the safe side, he drew a sketch of the young daughter of the shop owner behind the shop. After getting the other party's consent, he started setting up a stall in front of the shop.

Han Li once again drew two portraits and placed them next to them as signs. He placed the guitar case in front of him, then sat down, picked up the guitar in his hand, and started playing.

What to play? Of course it was Wild World which was the most popular song in England in the 1970s.

Although Han Li was just using this as a cover up, and he didn't really want to make money by performing on the street, but he still had to have at least some popularity. How could you make money if no one else had it?

How to attract people? Then you can only attract people by playing music that is closest to the public.

This song "Wild World" is indeed the most widely circulated song in England in the past few years. As soon as Han Li played the intro, someone noticed it. When the song was played at the right time, someone next to him started singing along with the sound of the guitar.

“Oh baby, it’s a wild world and a smile really means nothing.

Oh, baby, this is a wild world, I will always protect you as a little girl."

On the first day, no one came to Han Li to draw, but a total of twenty-seven British dollars were thrown into the guitar box in front of him.

This income is not much, but compared to the current average weekly income of people in England, which is about 80 British dollars, it is quite good.

When Han Li put the money away, he quietly added more than thirty yuan to it, and told the other three roommates when he returned to the dormitory.

In this way, Han Li only needs to maintain this situation for a few days. After the news spreads, he can move out of the dormitory.

Even if Han Li spends money to improve his life in the future, at least he will have a defensible reason.

As for how much money to spend, Han Li has the final say. After all, no one will stare at him 24 hours a day.

When Han Li returned to his dormitory that night, not only did he look excited, he also bought each of his three roommates a bottle of Coke, saying it was to celebrate his first time making money in England.

A few days passed like this, and the news that Han Li was making money by performing on the street had been spread by his three roommates.

Han Li chatted with the boss next to him when there were few people in the past two days, and learned a lot of information from him that he didn't know before.

For example, in the 1940s, England launched a nationwide rationing system, distributing different types and quantities of food every week based on age, gender, and occupation.

At that time, it was not about eating whatever you wanted or as much as you wanted.

Rather, you can eat what the higher-ups tell you to eat, and how much you can eat.

There is no choice in everything, only obedience, acquiescence, patience, and starvation.

The boss talked about some of the situations at that time, which made Han Li feel that the most difficult time in England was not as good as the three years in China. At other times, it was only slightly better than in China.

The food rationing system in England did not end until 1954. Due to wage restrictions, the end of the food rationing system did not mean that people could eat as much as they wanted and as they wanted.

It’s just that there are more types of food that everyone can choose from. For the general public, many foods are still priced but not available. For example, a lot of meat, cooking oil, etc.

However, the supply of sugar and desserts at that time could fully keep up with people's consumption. Many people would choose to have a cup of dessert, milk tea or other sugary drinks to relax after their meal.

After England entered the 1960s, convenience foods became popular on the market.

Everyone’s wages have also been raised a lot, and refrigerators have begun to enter more and more families.

Potatoes and vegetables became more and more abundant, and various imported foods became available.

The most direct demonstration of this situation is that all the plates on the market are one or two sizes larger, otherwise they cannot hold the food everyone needs for every meal.

In the 1960s, another thing happened in England, that is, Coke, which is loved by the people all over the country, was put on the shelves, and everyone has a favorite drink since then.

Since the 1970s, edible oil in England has been open for supply, and the supply of various meats has also begun to rise sharply.

Therefore, everyone began to like frying various foods, and fried bacon, fried eggs, fried fish, fried chicken, and French fries were all made at this time.

Later, in 1974, the first McDonald's fast food restaurant was opened in England.

Because the salary at that time was about 40 pounds per week, but it cost 0.25 pounds to eat a fast food meal at McDonald's, it soon became the first choice for workers' families.

However, because everyone's salary could be relaxed, the plates at home and in restaurants were a bit small at this time.

This led to many people asking the waiter for "two servings" or "three servings" when ordering meals in restaurants.

Therefore, in the 1970s, the plates in England became one or two sizes larger.

Every meal was served with sugary juice and drinks, and sugary drinks and afternoon tea were also required at other times.

In the words of the boss, this situation was simply too happy, especially for those who had come from the food rationing system.

In addition, Han Li also learned a very strange thing from the boss.

That is, before 1961, in Britain, as long as you attempted suicide, even if you did not succeed, the official would sentence you to death by hanging.

In the official words, if you want to die, you will be granted. Only by doing so can those who want to waste their lives be scared and dare not have the idea of ​​suicide again.

Han Li was stunned for a long time after hearing this story, and finally an old saying emerged in his mind.

"You will not live if you do evil."

Han Li's days of chatting and playing the piano were forced to end after a few days of happiness.

Because of Han Li's behavior of making money, some people who want to make this money have recently attracted.

However, no matter how they performed, some of them were even male and female groups, but their final income every day was not as good as Han Li's, and some people did not even make a penny at the end of the day.

Han Li didn't care whether they made money or not. The arrival of these people just gave Han Li a reason to leave Niu Jing and go to the big city to make money.
