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

Chapter 176: A Small Profit in the Market

The foreigner now had a serious look on his face. He looked around at the items on the stall and finally set his sights on a larger item - an automatic razor.

This automatic shaver is obviously a knockoff product, and the foreigners obviously don't know this. Automatic shavers are quite expensive in Australia. Chen Xi once bought a Philips shaver for more than 3,000 Australian dollars.

There are Chinese characters printed on this razor, which the foreigners couldn't understand, and they mistakenly thought it was a valuable item.

Chen Xi watched from the side, knowing that the price of this razor in China was probably only a little over 100 Chinese Yuan.

The foreigner calmed himself down, then slowly stretched out his arm and threw out the first plastic ring.

The plastic ring tumbled lightly in the air, like a hunter eager to catch its prey, and pounced straight at the automatic shaver.

However, its attack failed and it directly hit the razor box, making a dull sound. Then, the plastic ring seemed to lose control and bounced out, tumbling several times in the air before falling to the ground powerlessly.

The crowd sighed one after another, as if expressing regret and sorrow for the failed hunt. The ghost man's face also showed a blush of embarrassment, as if he was a little embarrassed by the gazes and sighs of the crowd.

He looked down at the plastic ring on the ground, seeming a little overwhelmed for a moment, feeling that he had lost face in front of everyone.

The foreigner's mood was obviously affected by the boos of the crowd, and he seemed a little anxious when he put the ring on for the second time. He hastily adjusted his posture and threw the plastic ring in his hand. However, because he did not control the force and angle well, the plastic ring flew far away and did not even touch the razor box.

The ghost's face became even uglier. He took a deep breath and stared at the last circle in his hand, trying to calm his inner tension.

He threw the third plastic ring carefully, and it spun in the air, its trajectory appearing perfect, as if it had been calculated. Everyone waited with bated breath, believing that this time it would successfully catch the automatic razor.

Li Yuqing was so nervous that she held the gadget tightly in her hand and stared at the plastic ring intently.

However, just when everyone thought they had won, the plastic ring was about to succeed, but it got caught on the automatic razor box and did not completely hit the target. At that moment, the whole place fell into silence, with only a gentle breeze blowing.

The foreigner was stunned, his face full of astonishment and disappointment, while Li Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the result.

There were sighs of regret and disappointment from the crowd. The foreigner spread his hands helplessly, looked at the automatic razor unwillingly, and prepared to turn around and leave.

"This is your consolation prize, I hope you like it." Chen Xi smiled and handed over a small keychain with a mini flashlight attached. This design may be commonplace in China, but it is rarely seen in Australia.

When the foreigner received the consolation prize, he immediately showed a happy expression on his face, as if he was holding something incredible. He thanked the owner repeatedly and left happily.

Seeing this, the crowd also had the desire to try. Li Yuqing's eyes turned into crescents when she saw this. She pointed to the rules of the game and enthusiastically introduced them to them.

The next guests came in an endless stream, each with their own desired destination.

Male customers are mostly interested in practical items such as rotary razors, lighters and exquisite toy models, and they try to get these items into their pockets through skill and luck.

Female customers are more inclined to choose handicrafts with artistic atmosphere and aesthetic value, such as vases and snuff bottles.

Chen Xi keenly grasped the preferences of female customers. He cleverly described the snuff bottle as a "perfume bottle", which immediately aroused the strong interest of the white girls. Their eyes sparkled, and under Chen Xi's guidance, they took out their wallets and prepared to try their luck.

Not every guest fails to achieve their desired goal.

In one throw, a seemingly ordinary white lady successfully caught a vase worth sixty dollars using only ten dollars.

This result made Li Yuqing feel a little annoyed. She handed the vase to the other party with an unhappy look on her face. The aunt took the vase and smiled from ear to ear.

Li Yuqing was very unhappy in her heart. For her, no matter whether she made money overall, as long as she lost an item, she would feel very uncomfortable.

It was not until noon that Chen Xi opened the bag of money to check the income and found that it was full of money.

He roughly calculated that he had earned nearly 1,000 yuan. Most people choose to play the 30-yuan game because they know that even if they lose, they can get a guaranteed consolation prize. This mentality, to a certain extent, prompts them to choose the amount of money to participate in the game.

This is also a way of making money by taking advantage of people's gambling mentality. He knows that people who come to play are very confident in their luck and skills.

Although some of the goods in the box were reduced, most of them were cheap gadgets, most of which were given out as consolation prizes. A lighter and a toy were taken away, as well as some other things, but the automatic shaver was still there, so there was no overall loss.

Overall, this income has far exceeded the amount estimated by the teacher.

Li Yuqing's stomach suddenly made a "gurgling~gurgling~" protesting sound. The aroma of food from the stall next to her drifted over here, making her even hungrier. At this moment, she looked up at Chen Xi with a pitiful face, her eyes revealing her desire for food. Chen Xi noticed Li Yuqing's abnormality, and then recalled the scene of her working hard just now, so he said, "I'll go buy some food."

"Great, I want spicy food!" Li Yuqing shouted excitedly, her face full of childlike innocence and expectation. She almost rushed forward to hug Chen Xi's arm impulsively, but this sudden enthusiasm startled Chen Xi, and he quickly turned around and left.

Chen Xi knew that Li Yuqing was from Jiangcheng and could eat spicy food. When he ate with her before, she always ordered some spicy dishes. After returning to China, he always accommodated her taste and tried to order some spicy dishes to make her happy.

When he passed by Eric's stall, he casually glanced at the big pot. He saw that the ingredients in the pot had become a hodgepodge, covered in rich curry sauce, and their original appearance could no longer be seen.

Although the appearance is a bit unsatisfactory, I have to admit that it is much better than the Indian street food I saw on online videos in my previous life. It should be improved by this Indian student himself, otherwise no one would come to eat it.

Eric's eyes were full of dissatisfaction at this time, but he did not say anything sarcastic. He clearly remembered the scene when Chen Xi attacked him in the KTV.

Now he could only swallow his anger and think about how to deal with this woman Li Yuqing.

This woman actually treated him as a fool.

Eric had affairs with all kinds of women around him at school, and he basically won them over with sweet words and a little money.

But he felt frustrated with Li Yuqing. This was a typical case of the Sea King being fooled by the Sea Queen. How could he let it go?

Eric narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Yuqing in the distance with an unfriendly look. At this time, Li Yuqing was concentrating on counting the items in the stall and did not notice the unfriendly look from someone.

"How's business? Is it good?" Chen Xi met Jin Yufeng who was queuing at a fast food place. He greeted him and asked.

Jin Yufeng looked up and saw that it was Chen Xi. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. I sell some fruit juice. Foreigners like this healthy drink very much and the price is not expensive. It's just too tiring. I have to squeeze it all with my own hands." He smelled his hands that were covered with the smell of fruit, and a tired look appeared on his face.

Jin Yufeng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "By the way, I saw Li Yuqing and Eric before. She seems to be from the same school as you. Are you and Li Yuqing dating?" A meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, we're just working together to complete a mission, don't think too much about it." Chen Xi shrugged.

"Oh, by the way, what did you say about a class reunion? What is it for? Didn't we have one before?"

"I miss you guys, so I'll treat you to a meal, drinks and singing. Isn't that great? You must come when the time comes."

"Yeah, if someone invites me, I will come."

"Easy to say!"

After buying the food, the two of them simply said hello and said goodbye. Chen Xi found a secluded corner, lit a cigarette, and smoked quietly. He took out his mobile phone and selectively sent some party messages, naturally avoiding certain people.

When Chen Xi returned to the stall with the food, Li Yuqing immediately couldn't wait to wolf down the lunch box. Looking at her eating, Chen Xi shook his head in amusement.

If she had a better personality and didn't have so many problems in her conduct and behavior, it would be no problem for her to find a tall, rich and handsome man with her looks. However, Li Yuqing's personality made her emotional journey tortuous.

Li Yuqing seemed to notice Chen Xi's gaze and suddenly realized that she might not be eating very politely. She immediately picked up the spoon and ate the rice in small mouthfuls.

She thought to herself that her behavior just now was really unladylike.

"Chen Xi, what's so good about Saori? Why do you like her?"

"She's nice to me."

This simple sentence made Li Yuqing feel very uncomfortable.

"I'm also very nice to you, haven't you noticed?" Li Yuqing said with some dissatisfaction in her heart.

"..." Chen Xi was speechless. Li Yuqing's kindness to him was purposeful. She had always been like this in the way she did things and treated people. They had discussed this issue in their previous life.

Li Yuqing feels that if making friends has no purpose, then why waste time making friends? In her eyes, friends are just tools to be used, and the same goes for choosing a spouse.

Moreover, she only wanted the other party to give unilaterally, which made Chen Xi even more confused.
