Chapter 177 A furious Eric
"Why don't you speak? Am I not treating you badly? I may have had a bad temper before, but I am changing it." Li Yuqing chewed rice in her mouth, looking pitiful Said Xixi.
"I have a girlfriend." Chen Xi didn't want to explain to her.
“I can do everything that Shaozhi can do. If I were better than Shaozhi, would you break up with me... No, I asked you if I could be your girlfriend after you break up with Shaozhi. "Li Yuqing's words made Chen Xi stare. When she saw the other party's face suddenly darkened, she knew that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words.
"It'll be ready soon! Hurry up and eat, everyone else is waiting." Chen Xi greeted a guest quickly when he saw a guest coming, and then turned to urge Li Yuqing to come.
"Can't you make it more attractive? There have been no customers for half a day." At the stall next to him, Eric said to Ah San unhappily when he saw that Chen Xi's business was so good, and pointed at the pot. That lump of yellow food.
"I was originally selling food and seasonings, and it's already past dinner time. Why don't you do it? I'm lazy and gibbering." Ah San lost his temper after being told that. He threw away the shovel in his hand, ran to the chair and crossed his legs, assuming a strike posture. Eric was so angry that he almost poured the pot of food on his head.
"Li Yuqing is angry with me, and you damn Asan is also angry with me." Eric was furious at this time, but the task still needed to be completed, so he poured out the pot of curry and started by himself cooking.
It is already afternoon, and the number of people in the market has at least doubled compared to before. Chen Xi and Li Yuqing were busy in full swing. Li Yuqing was so happy as she saw more and more money in the bag.
There was also a ghost guy who spent 100 yuan playing traps. Although he got nothing, he got a spittoon as a consolation prize.
He was still very angry at first, but he held the spittoon and looked at it again and again. He couldn't put it down, and finally left gracefully in the envious eyes of others.
At this time, in the hustle and bustle of Victoria Market, several teachers, wearing sunglasses, hats and masks, were shuttling between stalls, observing and communicating with each other.
Some students behaved very rigidly. They just sold products step by step and did not know how to attract customers, which made the teachers shake their heads.
However, when the teachers came to Chen Xi’s stall, they had interesting expressions on their faces. Several people stood there, looking at Chen Xi's stall carefully and talking among themselves.
“What is this?”
"It's like an amusement park, but it should be very profitable. Look at that girl who keeps stuffing money into the bag."
"This makes money much faster than other student stalls, and I think even By the time the stall is closed, there will probably still be a lot of these products left.”
“It seems to be some kind of street game from China. I have seen it before,” said a person who has traveled to China. The teacher touched his chin and recalled.
"Street game? That's very suitable for this kind of place."
"But this model is easy to be imitated. Fortunately, no one here has seen this kind of game, plus the stalls The fee is waived for us this time, so we can make money." The teacher who had seen the trap before expressed his opinion again.
He had seen many people setting up stalls like this before when he was in China. With more peers, competition would increase, and naturally he wouldn't be able to make much money. He believes that the fiercely competitive market environment is very unfavorable for small-scale stall owners.
"Look at the nearby stall owners who have also come to watch. After today, there will probably be several stalls here playing hoops." A female teacher from Monash said, holding her shoulders.
"Which school is this from?" the teacher from Swinburne University asked.
“We are from Didi University, haha.” Chen Xi’s teacher said with a smile on his face, as if Chen Xi’s outstanding performance made him feel honored.
"The stall will be closed soon. Everything will be sold at half price. The billboards will be changed. Use your loud voice!" Chen Xi looked at the time and said.
"Who has a loud voice? I am very ladylike." Li Yuqing pinched her throat and said in a clipped tone.
Chen Xi couldn't stand the clipping sound and got goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. He quickly chose to ignore the other party and began to busily put all the remaining items on the table, hoping to sell them out as soon as possible and not wanting to leave any items behind.
“Half price?”
“On sale for a limited time?”
As soon as I heard that the half price discount was only available until the stall closed at four o’clock, people around immediately swarmed up and cleared the stall. It was instantly packed with people. The ghost guys were excitedly selecting their favorite products, and the frenzy of buying made several teachers in the distance stunned and unbelievable.
Ten minutes later, the goods on the stall had been sold out.
Chen Xi secretly sighed, Gui Lao’s money is really easy to make!
It’s no wonder that so many Chinese people like to open grocery stores. Items that are originally relatively affordable have become even easier to sell with limited-time discounts.
"The total money in the bag is 3,725 yuan. The valuation on the paper is 1,213 yuan. It has been transferred 2,512 yuan. Each person is 1,256 yuan." Li Yuqing sat on the chair with her legs crossed, a small expression on her face. He looked like a money addict, counting the banknotes in the bag seriously.
Chen Xi sat on a chair, closing his eyes to relax. Suddenly, he felt a pair of small hands on his shoulders, and he felt a sense of comfort, causing him to open his eyes involuntarily.
As a result, Li Yuqing was massaging him. Chen Xi was stunned and looked at her doubtfully, wondering what kind of medicine this woman was selling in her gourd.
Eric next to him had already begun to close the stall. Seeing this explosive scene, his lungs were about to explode.
He had just replaced Asan and cooked by himself. However, because his cooking skills were so poor, the food was hard to swallow and he didn’t even have a single customer.
Li Yuqing glanced at Eric provocatively.
She had two purposes for giving Chen Xi a massage. One was to launch a new gentle offensive so that she could take advantage of Sha Zhi’s corner; the other was to deliberately anger Eric and warn him not to do anything too much. things. She wanted the other party to know that she was not someone to be bullied, and with Chen Xi as her backer, she was not afraid of anything.
Stinky bitch!
“Clang!”
The metal pot was thrown into the box by Eric angrily.
"Okay, stop pressing it." Chen Xi stood up and interrupted her massage. Li Yuqing's abnormal behavior made him feel uncomfortable.
“I’m not tired.” “Your hands are too cold, it’s freezing me.”
"You..."
Li Yuqing almost went crazy at his words, but when she thought that she had to take the gentle route now and learn from Sha Zhi, she immediately shut her mouth.
Although the teacher stipulated that the activity should end at four o'clock in the afternoon, due to a series of things such as closing the stalls and returning tables and chairs, the gathering was actually delayed until after five o'clock.
"Okay, now count the amount and items. I will post the paper requirements online, and you can check them by yourself."
In Tu'ao, students' scores are usually not made public. This is mainly based on three considerations: first, it is very important to protect students' personal privacy; second, non-disclosure of scores can avoid unnecessary comparisons among students; third, , this is also to avoid damaging the self-esteem of students with unsatisfactory grades.
Therefore, in this event, although the specific amount of each person's income was unclear, Chen Xi and Li Yuqing had happily put the extra money into their wallets.
"Chen Xi, you are great! It's almost dinner time. I'll treat you to dinner. There's a new movie coming out now. The Lun family really wants to go see it, but there's no one to accompany..." Li Yuqing Holding his arms and inviting warmly.
"No...I have an appointment tonight." Chen Xi waved his hand and refused.
“Is it Shazhi?” Li Yuqing’s expression changed.
"A friend."
"Is it a woman?"
"..." Li Yuqing kept asking, leaving him speechless.
"Buzz~" Li Yuqing's phone suddenly vibrated, and she hurriedly opened it to check.
It didn’t take long for her face to become extremely ugly, and then her anger was beyond words. Chen Xi noticed her emotional changes. Although he was a little curious, he did not take the initiative to ask.
"Well, I'm leaving first! We even made an appointment!" Chen Xi waved his hand to Li Yuqing, who was still looking down at his phone like a wooden man, not even aware of it.
The text message was sent by Li Yuqing's mother. The content revealed that Li Yuqing's father had found a young girl outside and spent a lot of money on her.
The words were full of crying, saying that because Li Yuqing's father had someone outside, the living expenses for Li Yuqing had been very small. This made Li Yuqing furious. When she made a request to her father before, he not only refused but also scolded her. Now she finally understood the reason. It turned out that her father had a mistress outside.
After reading the text message, Li Yuqing raised her head and found that Chen Xi had left at some point. This made her stomp her feet in anger.
“Pa!”
"Woo~"
Hit the armrest next to him with a punch, which was so painful that tears almost flowed out. Her white and tender hands suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but moan softly.
Chen Xi was walking towards the parking lot at this time. He made an appointment with Alin in the evening because Alin said he would give him a document and need to sign it. Recently, the cram school affairs have been piling up, making Arin very busy. He has been really working hard recently.
"Hello, ah? Then when will you come! Oh, okay." As soon as he got in the car, Chen Xi received a call from Alin.
Alin said on the phone that he was not finished with his work there and it would take some time to get back, so he asked Chen Xi to wait for a moment.
This sudden news made him extremely depressed.
It was already dinner time. Chen Xi found a parking lot nearby according to the address given by A Lin.
Walking on the street, he planned to find a restaurant that looked more pleasing to the eye and solve the problem of dinner.
At this time, it was getting late, and the cold wind was howling across the street.
Standing on Little Bourke Street, the archway of Chinatown is above your head, and there are various restaurants on both sides.
"Let's go to this one." He looked at a restaurant on the right and walked up decisively. It was the Jade Chef. The food was pretty good, but the lobster price was higher than other restaurants. I ordered a mini version of lobster before and it actually cost more than 400 Australian dollars, and I ate it in just a few bites. The price/performance ratio was really low.
Standing at the door was a sweet-looking girl, wearing Hanfu, shivering in the cold wind.
When she saw a customer coming, she immediately tried her best to smile and handed over the menu in her hand.
Chen Xi waved his hand in a friendly manner, indicating that he did not need to read the menu, and strode towards the restaurant.
The moment you push open the glass door, a warm breath hits your face, as if you have been transported to a new space in an instant.
The girl at the door watched him leave with envious eyes, then took a few breaths of hot air into her hands and continued to stick to her post, waiting for the next diner to arrive.
Go up the stairs to the second floor. The lights here are soft and bright. Looking around, there are not many guests.
Soon, his eyes locked on a familiar figure - Lao Wang.
