Chapter 216 Stopping the Bleeding
“Indeed, these flowers are selling really well. Look, Sister Hua has ordered several more bunches. I’ll go and order some more from Boss Xia. I think we could also buy some forsythia to test the waters.”
After finishing her sentence, Hua Yu happily called Xia Shiyu again and placed another order.
Xia Shiyu was also very happy. After selling flowers yesterday, she calculated the prices and found them to be quite good. Including the flowers ordered by Hua Yu, she earned more than a thousand yuan in one day. Moreover, they sold out quickly, and she and Yu Juan didn't stay long before they sold out.
It's a bit of a pity, though. If customers discovered the special effects of these flowers, they would definitely sell even better. But there's no need to worry. She believes that once people take these flowers home, someone will definitely discover their special effects.
Xia Shiyu was right. Although most people held flowers simply for aesthetic pleasure, at most feeling a little happy and refreshed by the air, a small number of people discovered the secret behind them.
When Xiao Lei and Du Yue returned to the dormitory with the flowers, the two remaining students gasped in surprise.
"Where did you go to pick flowers? These flowers look so pretty."
"Did you pick them at the flower bed park over there? I think I heard that the forsythia in that park is blooming and looks beautiful for taking pictures."
Xiao Lei first explained, "No, no, that's really not how it is. We saw someone selling flowers when we went to the square and bought them."
Liang Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you actually went to buy flowers? These flowers are so beautiful! How much did they cost?"
She had planned to listen to the two men say 10 to 15 yuan, but when she heard 25, she froze. She didn't dare to reach out and touch the flower, afraid that she would break this precious flower worth 25 yuan.
"Good heavens, have you been ripped off, or is this flower some kind of rare variety that I can't tell you're selling for such a high price? Aren't these common roadside gardens?"
She was surprised, especially by the forsythia, which is something that grows by the roadside in her hometown. If they can sell for 25 yuan each and sell so well, she might as well go back to her hometown and pick a bunch of them.
Du Yue explained, "Oh, the situation is different. Look how beautiful these flowers are. As for rare varieties, we don't know, but the shopkeeper said that these flowers have some medicinal value, especially my winter jasmine, which can stop bleeding, reduce swelling and relieve pain."
"Really? But this has to be processed into traditional Chinese medicine, right? You can't just take the flowers you buy to a traditional Chinese medicine shop to make medicine."
After looking around, Liang Yue said...
Du Yue brought the flower closer and smelled it carefully. "Let's not worry about the details. Anyway, it's pretty and that's good. And it's a fresh plant. We smelled its fragrance all the way back, and it even helps to freshen the air."
Another roommate, Zhao Tian, also said, "That's true. Flowers are bought to look and smell nice. Putting them in the dorm makes the dorm look much prettier. When we're selecting outstanding dorms later, we'll buy some flowers to put in the dorm and it will really enhance the room's appearance."
Liang Yue stopped worrying about the price and joked, "Indeed, these flowers are so beautiful. I'm tempted to buy them. If it weren't for the fact that I don't have much money left for my living expenses this month..."
"Yes, that's exactly how beautiful it would look if it were placed here."
Xiao Lei and Du Yue arranged the flowers carefully, intending to start playing games while surrounded by such beautiful blossoms.
Zhao Tian and Liang Yue returned to their seats. Zhao Tian picked up a craft knife to do her craft, but while she was sitting, she accidentally cut her finger with the knife. A long cut appeared on her index finger, and blood immediately gushed out.
"Ah!" she couldn't help but exclaim, grabbing a tissue from the table and starting to wipe it up. She also asked her roommates a question.
"Hey guys, do you guys have any Band-Aids or sterile gauze? I accidentally cut myself and it's bleeding."
Du Yue and the others ran over when they heard the commotion and immediately said, "Oh dear, this is so serious! Your cut is really deep. You should go to the school clinic right away."
Zhao Tian felt a bit unlucky. "Then I can only go to the infirmary. I thought it was just a small wound."
Liang Yue held her hand and wiped it with a tissue. "Don't take it lightly. You have to go to the infirmary to get bandages and gauze. Luckily, your knife wasn't rusty, otherwise you would have needed a tetanus shot."
"Yes, yes, I do have bandages and gauze, but you should still wipe it with alcohol or iodine."
Du Yue held the band-aid, intending to apply it, but then thought it would be better to disinfect it first.
Just then, seeing the forsythia on the table, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Hey, I'll try using forsythia."
Xiao Lei hesitated, "You didn't actually believe that shop owner, did you? This is probably just a gimmick to sell flowers, how could it possibly stop bleeding?"
"Whether it's right or not, let me give it a try first."
After Du Yue finished speaking, she quickly took a handful of forsythia petals, wrapped them in gauze, and squeezed the petals into juice. Then she wrapped the juice-soaked gauze around Zhao Tian's injured finger.
Zhao Tian thanked her, "Thank you, Du Yue."
Xiao Lei felt it was a bit unreliable, and Liang Yue also thought it was a bit silly.
She looked around and decided to take her roommate to the infirmary.
"Never mind, let's go to the infirmary and find some iodine. Your wound is a bit deep this time."
Although Du Yue had completed one of the operations, she was still a little worried. "You should still come along and take a look. It won't hurt to see what's going on."
"Okay," Zhao Tian said, and headed to the infirmary with her roommates.
She went to the infirmary and explained the situation to the doctor. The school doctor took one look and shook his head. "Let me take a look at the gauze first. If the wound is big, it does need to be disinfected first. Also, the gauze you're using isn't good. You should take it off and re-bandage it."
"Okay," the group said, and then helped Zhao Tian remove the gauze from her wound. After it was removed, the doctor took a closer look.
"Yes, your wound is indeed quite large, but your blood clotting function is quite good, and the bleeding has stopped now."
"Oh, I have poor blood clotting function," Zhao Tian said in confusion, as she had never had this characteristic before.
Instead, Du Yue looked at Zhao Tian's finger, which was no longer bleeding, and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that my forsythia really worked!"
The school doctor shook her head, not understanding what the girls were talking about. She simply disinfected Zhao Tian's wound with iodine and then rewrapped the bandage.
"Be careful not to get the wound wet for the next two days, and avoid eating spicy foods."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
After paying with her college student medical insurance, Zhao Tian went back with her roommate.
Along the way, Du Yue still felt that the forsythia she had bought must have some special use.
"Really, I feel that flower is definitely extraordinary. Let's experiment with it when we get back. Maybe even your magnolia flower will have some amazing effects, Xiao Lei."
