I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 173 Victoria Market
The weekend came in a blink of an eye, and today the teacher asked them to gather at Victoria Market.

The Victoria Market in Melbourne is the most prestigious of the many local markets. It is loved by local residents and international students and is affectionately called "Victoria Market" by the Chinese.
The history of this market can be traced back to the 19th century. It is the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere and the third largest in the world, with a history of more than 100 years.

The market is open five days a week and closed on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The market covers an area of ​​7 hectares and has more than 600 stalls selling a wide variety of goods, including fresh seafood, meat, fruits and vegetables, as well as affordable clothing, luggage, jewelry, artworks, etc.

Victoria Market is not only a melting pot of Melbourne's goods, food, culture and local life, but also the main place for Melbourne locals to buy food.

The food here is fresh and the price is much cheaper than in the supermarket.

Although Victoria Market is called an open-air market, it is actually covered, but without walls and gates. Whenever the market is open, it is always bustling with people.

The business hours here are different every day. Today is Sunday and the business hours start at nine in the morning.

The teacher stipulated that the meeting time was 8 o'clock. Chen Xi got up early and rushed to the city center in advance. He parked the car skillfully and chose to walk to the meeting place.

Next to the Victoria Market, many students were still yawning and standing in a nearby convenience store to avoid the cold.

I don’t know if the teacher has lost his mind, he had to choose this time to set up the stall.

Looking around, Chen Xi did not see Li Yuqing. He looked at the time. It was less than half an hour before eight o'clock and the teacher had not shown up yet.

"What about the teacher?"

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"If I had known I would have come later."

Chen Xi pushed open the door of the convenience store and found that the row of tables next to the window were already surrounded by classmates, who were discussing enthusiastically.

As he hadn't had breakfast yet, Chen Xi walked straight to the oven, took out a beef pie, and then skillfully operated the coffee machine.

Suddenly, he felt someone pulling his arm. He looked down and saw a small white hand grabbing his clothes.

He turned his head and saw Li Yuqing looking at him pitifully, saying, "Chen Xi, why didn't you answer my call? Are you still angry with me? I was wrong last time..."

Li Yuqing is particularly eye-catching today, wearing a fashionable coat, a beige scarf around her neck, and a pair of long boots, which makes her legs look long and slender. Her hair is tied into a ponytail, showing her pure and moving side.

"I really know I was wrong, so please forgive me, okay?" Li Yuqing shook Chen Xi's arm coquettishly, her voice sweet.

Chen Xi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Uh... Actually, I forgot. You better behave yourself today. We are in the same group."

In order to complete the group task, Chen Xi could only calm the other party down first. He handed the cup of coffee he had just made to Li Yuqing.

"Thank you, I knew you were the best!" Li Yuqing took the coffee, opened her red lips and took a sip.

"It's really delicious!" She had a satisfied smile on her face and looked very cute.

Chen Xi sighed, made himself another cup of coffee, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Li Yuqing would not cause any more trouble today.

"Chen Xi, you and Saori...are you really boyfriend and girlfriend?" The two found an empty seat and sat down, and Li Yuqing asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, is that true?" Chen Xi took a bite of the beef pie in his hand, and the aroma of black pepper and beef instantly filled his mouth. He chewed the meat pie and spoke casually.

"Oh." Li Yuqing's tone sounded a little lost. She lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

This made Chen Xi a little confused. Li Yuqing seemed to be a little different recently. He didn't know why she changed or if she was just pretending.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Isn't it normal to have a relationship in college? Aren't you the same? The boy who came to the classroom to find you last time was pretty good." After all, she was his ex-girlfriend. Seeing that Li Yuqing was different from before, Chen Xi spoke in a softer tone.

Thinking of the boy from last time, he couldn't help but think that Li Yuqing might already have a boyfriend, so she wouldn't bother him anymore.

"No, Chen Xi, don't get me wrong, there's nothing going on between me and that guy..." When Li Yuqing heard Chen Xi mention Tian Gou, she immediately showed a look of horror and quickly waved her hands, as if trying to get rid of the subject.

Tian Gou's debt problem has become a shadow in her mind, and she has not yet raised the money.

"The teacher is here."

"It's really annoying..."

The students' discussions gradually became louder, and Chen Xi had already finished the food in his hand. He clapped his hands, ignored Li Yuqing's next words, and just pointed to the door, motioning her to follow.

Li Yuqing wanted to continue explaining to Chen Xi, but seeing that he had already walked out, she could only hurriedly follow him.

They came to a truck and the teacher opened the door. It was filled with all kinds of goods, including clothes, fruits, vegetables, and groceries. The teacher pointed inside and said, "Okay, students, these are the goods we are going to sell today. You can draw lots to decide what you want to sell."

Chen Xi stood in front of the truck door and looked inside. There were a wide variety of goods inside.

Based on his previous experience, items such as groceries, clothing and socks are usually the best-selling items, followed by potted plants.

As for fruits and vegetables, they are in sufficient supply and face relatively fierce competition in the market, so he believes that it is more difficult to sell these products.

When Chen Xi turned his head again, he saw Li Yuqing spread out a piece of paper in front of him with a number 8 written on it. He didn't know what the number represented. Li Yuqing also frowned and looked around. Others also shook their heads, obviously in the same situation as them.

Suddenly, Li Yuqing excitedly raised the piece of paper in her hand, waved it in front of Chen Xi as if to take credit, and said, "This must be a good product. 8 represents 'fortune'. We are going to get rich!" Her expression was pure and lovely. If you don't know her personality, most boys may be fascinated by her appearance. "..." Chen Xi thought it was a little funny.

"Okay, the next things to do are written on these pieces of paper. You can take a look. Now let's draw the stalls." As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Li Yuqing ran over quickly.

Not long after, she brought a few pieces of paper and a scrap of paper. Chen Xi took a look and was amazed!
The number above is 2B1314.

"8, this is..." Chen Xi quickly found the corresponding cargo number based on the information written on the paper.

What they are selling today are actually some handicrafts and small toys.

The goods in the car were quickly unloaded and each person was given a small cart.

Chen Xi felt a headache when he looked at those cheap-looking handicrafts and toys.

Who would come to Victoria Market in such cold weather to buy this?

Moreover, it is obvious at first glance that these products are produced in some small factories in China, and the quality is probably not that good.

"Okay, students, we are about to start business. Please find your own stall first, and then read the information above carefully. Each stall is relatively large and may be located in a remote location.

By the way, there are students from other schools here too. Each booth number is shared with students from another school, so one booth will be used by students from two schools. Please pay attention to the reasonable allocation of booth areas to avoid conflicts. My phone number is written on the paper. If you need to contact me urgently, just call me directly. "After the teacher finished speaking, he clapped his hands, indicating that they could leave.

At this time, Chen Xi saw students from other schools also pushing carts towards this side.

What kind of airplane is this? Was it so complicated in my previous life?
I remember that the assignment in those previous classes was to conduct interviews and investigations at a certain company, which was relatively easy to complete.

Maybe I didn’t go to class!
"Chen Xi, hurry up, or the place will be occupied by others soon. Go over first and occupy a larger space."

Chen Xi was pulling the cart and getting ready to leave when he suddenly felt something tight on his arm. It turned out that Li Yuqing was tugging at his sleeve, signaling him to hurry up.

"Look at the map first! I don't even know where it is."

"I've already seen it, just follow me."

Li Yuqing had no intention of letting go, so she simply pulled him by the clothes and walked forward.

College students do not have school uniforms, but school stores sell some items with the school logo, such as hats, T-shirts, etc.

Chen Xi noticed a student wearing a hat with the Monash University logo nearby, as well as students from Swinburne University.

This felt a little strange to him, as he seemed to have only participated in this kind of course organized jointly by multiple schools during high school.

Victoria Market is quite large, and the stalls in the central area and at the entrance are very popular, so the school naturally cannot reserve these sought-after spots for them.

The two spent a long time wandering around and finally found an open-air stall without a roof.

The ground was simply demarcated with lines, and it looked like a large area. There was also a sign on the ground with 2B1314 on it, which was their booth number.

A cold wind suddenly blew, bringing with it the chill and desolation unique to Victoria Market in the morning.

Both of them felt a chill, as if the wind could directly penetrate their clothes and touch their skin.

They simultaneously tightened their clothes.

Li Yuqing was trembling even more. She subconsciously hid behind Chen Xi, as if she could find a trace of warmth in his figure.

crazy!

crazy!

What are these teachers thinking that they are setting up stalls now?

Chen Xi complained in his heart, then stamped his feet and lowered the windshield on the iron frame of the stall. Once the windshield was lowered, the stall instantly became much warmer.

"Please pick up the tables, chairs and other tools yourself, at ..."

What the hell!

Chen Xi looked down at the paper in his hand. It seemed that he had just passed by the place where he needed to get the tables and chairs, and now he had to go back to get them.

"I'll go get the tables and chairs. You keep an eye on these things." Chen Xi instructed Li Yuqing.

"Don't worry, these stalls are all ours. Just leave a small space for them." Li Yuqing said as she began to place the goods on the ground, as if she was reserving a spot.

Chen Xi was speechless watching her do this.

He felt that Li Yuqing was still very selfish and did not know how to share and cooperate.

Li Yuqing saw Chen Xi standing there in a daze, and mistakenly thought that he was admiring her intelligence, so she proudly made an expression that said "I'm really great." Chen Xi didn't want to argue with her, so he turned around and left.
