Chapter 215 Strength
He breathed a sigh of relief after taking a sip of tea, but for some reason, the expensive monk fruit tea didn't taste as good as it smelled of flowers.
He shook his head, thinking it was probably just his imagination because the flowers smelled so good.
He didn't take it to heart. After all, the cough wasn't fatal, but he felt quite uncomfortable because he kept waking up in the middle of the night to cough.
After dinner, the two went back to their room to sleep. However, in the middle of the night, Xiong Fang started coughing again, which woke him up.
"cough cough"
The sound of violent coughing echoed in the room. Hua Mingzhu got up, turned on the bedside lamp, and patted Xiong Fang on the back.
"Look at your cough, it must be so uncomfortable to have this every night."
"Let me get you some more loquat syrup."
Xiong Fang shook his head. "Cough cough, sigh, drinking it won't help. It's not as effective as smelling the magnolia fragrance during the day."
Hua Mingzhu threw back the covers. "Then I'll just bring the flowers in."
Xiong Fang tried to stop her, "Forget it, forget it, that's too much trouble. I just said casually, how could the fragrance of flowers possibly cure a cough?"
"Well, even if it can't cure the cough, it would be nice to help with sleep."
Hua Mingzhu still got up and carried the bouquet of flowers in, placing it on the bedside table.
Upon smelling the magnolia blossoms again, Xiong Fang couldn't help but take a deep breath. To his surprise, he felt much better. A cool fragrance filled his throat, and his cough was miraculously relieved.
"Ah, my cough really feels much better."
Hua Mingzhu was also quite surprised; she looked at the magnolia flower with curiosity for several times.
"Could this flower really be that magical?"
Xiong Fang is now unsure, "Anyway, I definitely feel much more comfortable."
Hua Mingzhu couldn't figure it out, so she said, "Forget it, let's not study this for now, let's go to sleep."
"Yes, go to sleep first." Xiong Fang lay down.
In the latter half of the night, Xiong Fang surprisingly did not feel any discomfort in his throat, nor did he wake up coughing in the middle of the night.
Throughout the night, only the beautiful magnolia blossoms silently played their part.
After waking up comfortably, Xiong Fang did feel much better.
My throat feels as clear as it used to be today.
He cleared his throat and felt much better.
After noticing the change in his throat, he looked at the magnolia flower on his bedside table and touched it with a sense of preciousness. Goodness, this magnolia flower really can cure coughs!
Hua Mingzhu looked at Xiong Fang with a bit of disdain as he bent over tending to the magnolia flowers.
"See? You didn't care about the flowers I bought before. How about it now, aren't they nice?"
Xiong Fang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and happily exclaimed, "Great, great, great! These magnolia flowers are really beautiful. Mingzhu, where did you buy them?"
Huami Mingzhu snorted arrogantly, "I bought it from the flower shop I usually like to go to."
"Sigh, this shouldn't be the case," Xiong Fang said, feeling a bit puzzled. If it was the place Hua Mingzhu usually frequented, then the previous Hua Mingming hadn't had this effect.
Hua Mingzhu thought for a moment about what was different from before, and suddenly clapped her hands, "That's right, these flowers are newly ordered by the florist. They say they are new products, and the price is higher than before. They might be a little more magical."
Xiong Fang looked at the magnolia flower with curiosity. "But this is too amazing. Not a single flower was eaten or made into a traditional Chinese medicine, yet just smelling it has such a good effect?"
Hua Mingzhu looked at the flowers in front of her and thought for a moment, "How about this, aren't you worried? Why don't you take some to Old Yuan next door and let him check them out?"
Old Yuan was a friend they met in the building. He taught at a university and also did some research, so it was perfect for him to have the flowers tested.
“That makes sense. Then I’ll pick some flower petals and send them to Old Yuan.”
After saying that, Xiong Fang carefully picked off the petals and kept them safe.
Hua Mingzhu felt a pang of heartache watching him pick the flower petals. "I might as well dry these flowers or use them to make tea. It would be such a waste if they withered like before."
"You can arrange all of this. You're skillful and you'll do a better job than me."
"Okay, then that's settled."
Hua Mingzhu nodded, still feeling more at ease if she came herself.
"Okay, I'll take it to Lao Yuan."
"Okay, you can take it."
Xiong Fang ran out to find Lao Yuan, while Hua Mingzhu, sitting in her seat, thought of something and first called her old friend.
"Fen, do you still have the flowers I gave you yesterday?"
Wei Fen smiled. "Oh, you mean this? Of course I have it. Why are you suddenly asking about this? These flowers are really nice, aren't they?"
Hua Mingzhu said with a hint of amazement, "It's nothing, it's just that the flower I told you about is quite amazing. My husband smelled its fragrance and it actually cured his cough that had been bothering him for the past few days."
Wei Fen's tone was filled with amazement, "Really? You must be joking, this is just a common flower that can cure a cough?"
Hua Mingzhu said firmly, "Really, I'm not lying to you. Lao Xiong has already taken the flower to Lao Yuan for testing. That flower is really quite beneficial. I remember you also caught a cold recently, right? You can drink your milk and then make some tea or just smell it more."
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Upon hearing this, Wei Fen nodded, intending to take the advice and give it a try.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Fen looked at the magnolia flowers that she had arranged in her home, and had an idea. She went over and picked a few petals.
After picking it, she put it directly into a cup and added some honey.
After adding the honey, she picked it up, shook it twice, and then took a sip.
"Hmm, it tastes pretty good."
The sweetness of magnolia blossoms mixed with honey, when carried down the throat by warm water, truly feels exceptionally comforting.
She glanced at it in surprise, wondering if it really had such a magical effect.
Meanwhile, after hanging up with Wei Fen, Hua Mingzhu thought for a moment and then called Hua Yu.
"Hello, is this the florist? Could you please send me a few more bunches of magnolias? Remember, only magnolias."
"Okay, just deliver them all to my house."
"Row"
Hua Yu hung up the phone and said to Hua Ting, "I didn't expect these magnolia flowers to be so popular. The repeat customers are coming back so quickly."
They were initially a little worried when they started selling magnolia flowers in their shop, but it turned out that although magnolia flowers were a bit more expensive than other flowers, they sold quite well. In fact, some generous customers found the flowers even more appealing.
"That's right, sis. Look how well these flowers are selling, and they make the air in our flower shop feel much fresher."
Hua Ting was initially a little apprehensive, since Xia Shiyu's delicious vegetables didn't necessarily mean he was good at growing flowers. But to her surprise, Xia Shiyu was indeed very capable; his abilities were simply too great.
