"Chen Ze, Taotao, come here, I'll teach you how to make rock sugar water!" Li Liang said.

"Rock sugar water, yes, good, Brother Liang, I want to try it!" Tao Tao was interested, in such a hot weather, if you can drink a bowl of rock sugar water, you feel comfortable thinking about it.

Chen Ze was also very interested, and volunteered: "Brother Liang, where is the ice you bought, I'll smash the ice!"

Zhang Meng smiled beside him and said, "There is no ice for the time being, but I'll make a magic spell for you." ”

With that, Zhang Meng went to the back kitchen and brought a bucket out, filled it with well water, and then poured a large bowl of white crystal powder into it, and stirred it with a wooden stick for a while. Chen Ze and Taotao squatted curiously to the side to observe, only to see a trace of cold air gradually rising on the surface of the water, and slowly a thin layer of ice floe appeared on the surface of the water, and the ice floe became thicker and thicker, and finally the entire barrel surface was frozen.

Chen Ze and Taotao's mouths opened in surprise, enough to hold two eggs.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Tao Tao said, wanting to touch the water with his hands.

Li Liang stopped his hand and said, "Taotao, don't touch it with your hands, this water is poisonous!"

Potassium nitrate is a strong oxidant, inhalation of the dust of the product is irritating to the respiratory tract, high concentration inhalation can cause pulmonary edema. It is strongly irritating to people's skin and eyes, and even causes burns. Repeated skin-to-skin contact can cause dry, chapped skin, and rashes.

Zhang Meng took a large soup bowl from the back room, filled it with a bowl of cold white boil, put two spoonfuls of sugar and stirred it well, and put the soup bowl on the frozen ice.

"Brother Meng, teach me quickly, how did you do it, I want to learn too!" Tao Tao shook his fierce hand and begged.

"You can teach it, but you must remember that this thing is called potassium nitrate, which is poisonous and cannot be touched with your hands. If you use it to make rock syrup, you have to separate it with a soup bowl or basin like I did!" Zhang Meng advised.

The weather outside was getting hotter and hotter, Zhang Meng carried the ice bucket back to the hall of the restaurant, the big bowl of rock sugar water quickly became cold, Zhang Meng and Li Liang shared it with everyone in a small bowl.

"Okay, Chen Ze, Taotao, you two drink here, after drinking, help us make a little and pour it into the big teapot on the counter, and you can drink it when the guests come!" Li Liang said, "Just follow what Brother Meng did just now, you do it, you know?"

"Got it!" Chen Ze and Tao Tao responded happily, it seemed that they didn't regard this as a living, but as a play.

"Brother Meng, it's almost noon, let's go out and see if we can attract some guests over!" Li Liang then said to Zhang Meng.

Instead of sitting in the store and waiting for customers, it is better to take the initiative, and on the first day of opening, there has been no publicity, and the drivers passing by probably do not know that the restaurant has opened.

"Okay, it's almost noon, and there are no guests coming to the door yet!" Zhang Meng agreed.

"Mom, auntie, Brother Meng and I went out to see if we could attract some guests to come over, you wash all the dishes, and if someone comes, we will lead them over!" Li Liang said loudly to his mother Wang Xiujuan and aunt Chen Chunhua.

"Okay, you guys go quickly, pay attention to safety on the road!" Wang Xiujuan responded in the kitchen.

"Brother Meng, otherwise, you go to the gas station opposite to guard, and when you meet a driver passing by to refuel, chat with them and recommend them to come over for dinner. Li Liang said.

Opposite the restaurant is the gas station of Jiajiapec, but the business is not very good, and Li Liang and they didn't see a few cars refueling here in the morning.

"Okay!" Zhang Meng replied.

Li Liang walked east along the highway, and the county cement factory was about a mile to the east, and Li Liang saw a lot of cars parked on the side of the road one after another, including clumsy Jiefang trucks and old-fashioned tractors.

When he got closer, Li Liang saw a group of masters sitting on the ground on the side of the road playing cards, some with clothes padding their buttocks, and some simply sitting on the ground.

One of the masters, the owner had just lost the card, and he took out 3 cents and handed it to the other three who won the money, and scolded and said: "It's really special! I drove from the Qianyuan Commune in the middle of the night, and arrived here at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Qianyuan Commune is a township in Hek County, about 50 kilometers away from the cement factory, and at this time the rural roads are not easy to walk, and it can be seen that he has complained that he has not yet loaded the cement in the middle of the night.

At this time, a master who was watching next to him whispered: "I heard that someone from the area came to the area, and a boy took a note from the city government, stretched out his hand and asked for 500 tons, and pulled away all the inventory of the cement factory!"

This sentence immediately caused a general complaint among the drivers, and now cement is in short supply, and every township and rural area is short of cement. Like this time, Zhang Qingxiang and their restaurants were not able to buy cement, and the lime fired in the rural earthen kiln was used for the wall painting. The output of the cement plant in Hek County is limited, with an average daily output of more than 50 tons, which supplies all towns and villages in the county, as well as several counties around the city. The drivers can't pull the goods, so they can only wait here.

"Oh, I went out in the middle of the night, and I didn't bring anything to eat, so I thought about loading the goods and going back to eat. Seeing that it was noon, I don't know if the cement factory canteen will serve lunch! I can't find a place to finish eating noodles because I can't find a place to eat noodles!" one of the drivers complained.

"The cement factory canteen? You don't even think about it, they don't provide food and drink to the outside world. I've been pulling goods here for several years, and I've always prepared a few steamed buns and a jar of pickles to eat!" Another driver said, "Otherwise, I'll give you two steamed buns later, and I'll eat some!"

Li Liangle was happy, and hurriedly said: "Uncles, my family has opened a new restaurant, which is popular and affordable, and there is free rock sugar water to drink, if you haven't eaten at noon, come to my house to try it!"

"How could I not know about a new restaurant?" said the driver, who claimed to have been hauling goods here for several years.

"Well, look?" Li Liang pointed back in the direction of the restaurant, "Do you see the sign standing on the side of the road? ”

The sharp-eyed driver looked in the direction pointed by Li Liang and really saw a restaurant.

"Kid, do you really have free rock syrup in your store on such a hot day?" asked a driver.

"Really, uncles and brothers, let's go over and have a look, it's okay if you don't eat, it's okay to drink a bowl of free rock sugar to hydrolyze the heat!" Li Liang hurriedly greeted.

So, the drivers who played cards and watched collected the cards, and about 20 drivers walked in the direction of the restaurant under the leadership of Li Liang. At the same time, Li Liang observed that some drivers who didn't like to play cards did not get out of the car and lay down in the cab to sleep, and he was ready to let Zhang Meng come over for marketing later.

"Hey little ghost, how does your restaurant taste? If it's delicious, I'll come back often! If it's not delicious, I'll never come back after eating today." A driver looked at Li Liang's young age and said teasingly.

"Don't worry, my chef's skills are great! You still want to eat it!" Li Liang responded.
