Chapter 214 Flower Shop
"Boss, give me a bunch of forsythia, just six stems will do."
Xia Shiyu looked up in surprise and realized that it was probably a gift for his girlfriend, since buying six at once would cost over a hundred.
"Ok"
Chen Yu patted her boyfriend's arm. "Isn't this a bit too expensive?"
Wan Ming waved his hand dismissively, "It doesn't matter as long as you like it. Besides, these flowers do smell quite nice and look pretty. They'll be a pleasure to look at when you take them home."
"Okay, thank you so much."
Chen Yu happily held a bouquet of forsythia, "It smells really nice, and smelling it has even made my motion sickness symptoms better."
Chen Yu just had a bout of motion sickness, and it made her feel really uncomfortable.
"Really? Maybe you've felt better now. It's good that you feel more comfortable."
"Mmm, these flowers smell so good, and they smell so pleasant."
Wan Ming nodded, "Okay, take it and you'll be satisfied."
The two took the flowers and went to stroll around elsewhere.
Xia Shiyu's flowers were selling like hotcakes, and she quickly grabbed the rest after one cart was empty.
Sales went quite smoothly, and at the same time, the magnolia flowers in Huayu's flower shop were officially packaged.
"Wow, sis, this packaging is so beautiful."
Looking at the neatly packaged, pure white flowers in front of her, Hua Ting couldn't help but praise her older sister's craftsmanship.
Pure white flowers of the same color scheme are arranged with magnolia flowers and wrapped together in wrapping paper, making it a pleasing sight at first glance.
Hua Yu held the flowers in her hands with great satisfaction. "These flowers are the best. I used to wrap them like this, but they look especially good this time."
My good friend Cheng Si was also helping out at the store today, and she nodded in agreement, "Then the price is still worth it."
This bouquet of flowers is placed in the most prominent position in the store, so that customers can see it as soon as they enter.
"It's hard to say yet. If sales go well, we can order more."
"Don't worry, I believe there will be many guests."
As they were talking, a customer walked into the flower shop. The customer was a capable woman who was a regular customer of the shop.
Hua Yu stepped forward to greet her, "Aunt Hua, you're here today."
Hua Mingzhu smiled and said, "Yes, I had nothing to do today, so I came here to browse around. I thought it would be nice to buy a few flowers from you to keep at home."
As she spoke, she noticed the bouquet that Hua Yu had just placed in the most prominent position. She walked over, touched it a couple of times, and nodded. "Hmm, these flowers look pretty good."
"Yes, these are our new flowers, magnolias. They are indeed among the best in the store. Would you like to buy some?"
"They do look beautiful and smell lovely, and they're perfect for gifting. Give me two bouquets, one to be delivered to the address later, and I'll take the other one with me."
The magnolia flower mainly symbolizes "gratitude", "sincerity", "expression of love", "nobility", "fragrance" and "pure love". These meanings are quite suitable for giving to friends, family and loved ones, so it would be nice for her to buy a bouquet to give.
Hua Yu smiled and said, "Of course, Aunt Hua. It's just that this is a new product and the price is a little higher than other flowers in the store."
Hua Mingzhu, smelling the fragrance of the magnolia blossoms in front of her, asked nonchalantly, "How much more expensive?"
Hua Yu said, "These two bunches will cost you 150 in total."
Hua Yu was a little nervous when she said this, after all, she didn't put any other expensive flowers in her bouquet, just some lilies of suitable colors and ordinary flower branches.
Normally it costs around 110, but today it went up by more than 40.
"Oh, what's the big deal? These flowers are worth the price, I'll just pay for them."
Hua Mingzhu waved her hand dismissively and said to pay the money directly.
Hua Yu breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, this customer had always been a generous spender.
She smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, you can sit here and wait. I'll pack it for you right now."
"Mmm," Hua Mingzhu sat down naturally, waiting for Hua Yu to wrap the flowers.
After the flowers were wrapped, Hua Yu handed one bouquet to Hua Mingzhu and then asked for another delivery address.
"Okay, just send it over there when the time comes. I'll be going now."
After Hua Mingzhu finished speaking, she tried to leave with the flowers in her arms.
Hua Yu nodded, "Okay, please take care."
After everyone left, Hua Ting said happily, "Sister, look, they've been sold! The quality of these flowers is better now, and the wealthy customers are quite satisfied."
Cheng Si nodded, "Yes, they are really generous."
"Today was a great start, and I hope things will continue to go smoothly from here on out."
"By the way, Xiaoting, could you deliver the flowers to this address later?"
"Okay, I'll send it over in a bit."
Hua Mingzhu returned home satisfied with the flowers. Once home, she found a vase, carefully arranged the flowers, and tended to them with great care.
While she was arranging the flowers, Xiong Fang came out from inside and coughed a few times.
"Ahem, you went to buy flowers again today? What did you buy this time?"
"I bought these magnolias, and they're growing really well this time. They smell wonderful too."
Hua Mingzhu turned her head and said, pausing her hand movements as she tended to the flowers, gesturing for Xiong Fang to look for himself.
Xiong Fang came closer, looked at them for a moment, and nodded. "These flowers are really nice. They feel even better than the ones you bought before."
"Right? I also sent a bouquet to my best friend. It's really reassuring to hear that."
"Yes, cough cough."
Xiong Fang couldn't help but cough again.
Hua Mingzhu patted his back helplessly, "Sigh, you know, why hasn't this cough gotten better since that cold?"
"That's how it is when you get old; a cough can drag on for a long time."
"Sigh, let me make you some more tea. You can continue tidying up these flowers for me."
"it is good"
Xiong Fang continued tending to the flowers. As he moved the flowers, he kept smelling the fragrance of magnolia blossoms. Because it was so fragrant, he couldn't help but lean closer to smell it.
He inhaled the fresh floral fragrance, the pale white blossoms serene and beautiful, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "It smells so good."
Moreover, after smelling the magnolia fragrance, he even felt that his throat felt much more comfortable.
He didn't pay much attention to it. After arranging the flowers, he placed the vase in the center of the living room table, which would add a touch of elegance when eating.
Hua Mingzhu came out carrying a cup of brewed tea. "Have some of this monk fruit tea. I bought it specially because it's said to help with coughs."
"Okay, I'll try it now. But I feel much better in my throat because of your flower."
"Are you kidding me? That flower smells good, how could it cure a cough?"
"Haha, that's true, maybe it's just my imagination."
Xiong Fang said, picking up the brewed tea and taking a sip.
