Chapter 47: Chapter 46: The Word Got Out

At the County People’s Hospital, Xiao Lei and Wang Hao walked out, holding their test results.

Wang Hao couldn’t contain his excitement. "Brother Lei, it’s real! It can really be cured!"

Although chronic bronchitis can be managed with medication, only those who have experienced a flare-up know how agonizing it is.

Xiao Lei was more composed. He had anticipated this before coming, but he hadn’t expected the results to be this good.

According to the test results, they only needed to keep drinking it for a few more days to be completely cured.

"It’s a shame hardly anyone believed the messages we sent."

"Brother Lei, if they don’t believe it, that just means it’s not in the cards for them."

They both already knew that the Medicinal Tea wouldn’t be available in unlimited quantities. It would be rationed once more people started coming.

The first to arrive would surely get better treatment. Those who came later could only pray there was enough Medicinal Tea to go around.

Xiao Lei checked the messages on his phone’s WeChat. "Let’s go. The three fellow patients who contacted us yesterday are here."

At the train station, they picked up the three fellow patients who had rushed over. All three were on the older side, in their forties.

This made sense. Generally, people over forty were more susceptible to this illness, which made the two of them an anomaly among the patient group.

"To get this sick at your age... you two have really suffered."

"Big brother, we went to the hospital for a check-up this morning. Brother Lei and I are almost better."

"Really? Are you sure?" The three men all looked over.

"Of course. The test results are still in my bag."

The three men said eagerly, "Can we see the reports?"

To be honest, they didn’t really believe this illness could be completely cured. They would have been happy with just some relief.

They never expected such a huge surprise after arriving.

The two of them took out their test results and even showed them their previous ones.

It had to be said, the two sets of test results were more persuasive than any words.

"Let’s go, let’s go! We have to get to that Lin Xian Village right away!"

"Let’s just grab a taxi."

Impatient, the three men dragged Xiao Lei and Wang Hao along as they hurried toward Lin Xian Village.

Zhao Shiyun saw the two from yesterday return with three more people and was in a great mood. ’I can sell more today.’

The five of them took the Medicinal Tea and drank it all in one go. After a moment, they clearly felt a change in their throats and lungs.

Because Xiao Lei and Wang Hao were younger, their conditions weren’t as severe. The other three, however, were a different story.

The change was so obvious it was practically instantaneous, almost unreal.

"Miss, can we have more of this Medicinal Tea?"

"You can, but you shouldn’t drink too much."

"Then give me another cup."

"Me too, I’ll have another."

Xiao Lei and Wang Hao were dumbfounded. ’Why didn’t we think of drinking two cups at once?’

It seemed they had been treating the Medicinal Tea like medicine from the very beginning.

The two of them followed suit and bought another cup each.

"Haha, we definitely came to the right place."

"We have to thank these two young brothers. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have come."

"Come on, your expenses for today are on us three."

The sight of these five men returning in the afternoon to drink more Medicinal Tea finally caught the attention of other tourists.

"Sir, you’re drinking medicine, but why are you having so much?"

"We’re treating an illness."

"Even if you’re treating an illness, you don’t need to drink that much, right? After all, it is medicine."

Seeing the man’s confusion, the older man explained, "We all have chronic bronchitis. This Medicinal Tea can treat it, so we’re drinking an extra cup, hoping to get better a little faster."

Hearing that it was for treating an illness, everyone understood their actions.

However, someone quickly searched on their phone and discovered that chronic bronchitis is incurable.

"Sir, the information I found online says this illness can’t be cured. What’s that about?"

"It’s true that it can’t be cured, but after we drank this tea, the therapeutic effects were very obvious.

And my two young brothers here, they drank this Medicinal Tea yesterday and went to the hospital for a check-up today. Their conditions have clearly improved."

Wang Hao took their test results out of his backpack and showed them to the people around them.

After seeing the two’s test results, everyone was incredulous. The effect of this Medicinal Tea was just too amazing.

"Miss, does your Medicinal Tea only treat chronic bronchitis?"

"No, the tea’s effects are clearing ’fire poison,’ soothing the lungs, and stopping coughs. It’s very effective for treating coughs."

"I’ll buy a cup to try."

"I’ll buy one too."

One by one, the tourists scanned the QR code to pay, eager to try the Medicinal Tea’s effects. The commotion here attracted even more tourists.

Once they learned of the Medicinal Tea’s miraculous effects, especially that even healthy people could drink it for lung benefits, more people joined the queue to buy it.

Zhao Shiyun started to get busy. She wiped the sweat from her brow, feeling a little thrill of happiness.

"Miss, can we get this Medicinal Tea to go?"

"Yeah, my dad coughs every day. Can I take some to go for my family?"

"We haven’t made arrangements for takeout. If you want to take some with you, you’ll have to figure out a way yourselves."

"Honey, pour out the water in my thermos and fill it with this Medicinal Tea."

"I think my mineral water bottle will work. Give me two more cups."

And just like that, once people’s minds were opened, many of them prepared to take some home.

The more people who bought it, the more people came over to see what was going on. Soon, a large crowd of tourists had gathered.

When Yu Hua and Ma Jiajia heard the news, they had no choice but to rush over and maintain order.

"Shiyun, what’s the situation today? Why are so many people here buying Medicinal Tea?" Yu Hua asked.

"They said drinking this Medicinal Tea can cure chronic bronchitis, and that drew a crowd."

"What? It can treat bronchitis?! Shiyun, save some for me! My grandpa has bronchitis."

"Okay. Even if we sell out, I can brew some for you after my shift."

Word of the Medicinal Tea’s effects spread quickly through Lin Xian Village. Even the professors conducting research nearby came over to buy some after hearing the news.

Even if they didn’t have a cough, it could still help them clear internal heat and soothe their lungs.

Especially after drinking it and feeling how much more comfortable their bodies became, they were all ready to give up their regular tea and drink this every day instead.

The news continued to spread outward with the tourists and villagers of Lin Xian Village. Soon, some people in Mountain Ridge Town heard about it.

In particular, those with coughs or lung discomfort rode their bikes over immediately to buy some.

When Lin Feng arrived, Zhao Shiyun was already spinning in circles with how busy she was. Tourists were even helping her pour the Medicinal Tea into cups.

"Boss Lin, this Medicinal Tea of yours is definitely a good thing. You should hurry up and figure out how to turn it into a beverage to sell."

"Yeah, Boss Lin! We’ll want to drink this in the future. You should make it a beverage and sell it online."

He hadn’t expected such a strong reaction. He explained, "This Medicinal Tea can’t be mass-produced, so if you want to drink it, you can only come here to buy it."

"Ah! That’s a real shame."

Now, even more tourists were planning to buy some to take away. Many even went to the small shop specifically to buy bottled water, pour it out, and use the bottle to hold the Medicinal Tea.

After serving the last group of tourists, Zhao Shiyun slumped into a chair, completely unconcerned with her appearance. She didn’t want to move a muscle.

"How did it go?"

"So tired!" She tilted her head to look at Lin Feng. "It’s not going to be like this every day from now on, is it?"

Lin Feng watched the departing tourists. "It might get even busier than today. The news only spread in a small circle today. By tomorrow, a lot more people will probably know."

She said, vexed, "At this rate, I’ll be worked to death."

"I’m planning to hire another Pharmacist. In the meantime, you should calculate the maximum number of cups you can brew each day so we can start rationing it."

Because not just anyone can brew the Medicinal Tea. It involves processing medicinal herbs, so it’s best to have someone who understands some principles of Chinese pharmacology.

The most important reason was that the Medicinal Tea had no effect unless it was brewed by a Pharmacist.
