The three of them were talking, Zhang Meng came in with a big bag of rice, he was tall and in good health, and the heavy work in the store was handed over to him. He saw Li Liang and his younger siblings coming, with a smile on his face, unloaded the rice into the rice bowl in the kitchen, sat down next to Li Liang, and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Liangzi, have you ever eaten snake~ meat? How about making a snake for you at noon~ meat?" he asked.

"Big brother, I want to eat! I haven't eaten snake ~ meat for a long time!" Zhang Junjie said first.

Li Liang has eaten snake~ meat, and there are many such things on the mountains of his grandmother's house, both poisonous and non-toxic. When I was a child, when I played at my grandmother's house during the summer vacation, my uncle would often catch this kind of wild meat~.

"I've eaten it, it tastes delicious!" Li Liang replied, "What kind of snake is it, who caught it?"

"When my uncle went to the toilet in the morning, what I found in the grass behind the toilet was a vegetable ~ flower ~ snake!" Zhang Meng replied.

The scientific name of the vegetable ~ flower ~ snake is Wang ~ brocade ~ snake, the body is cylindrical, and the head has the word "king" with black lines, so it is called Wang ~ brocade ~ snake. Most of the body surface is black, yellow and white, yellow at the end of the scales, muscular to the touch and rough and firm, but Li Liang's hometown is used to call it vegetable ~ flower ~ snake, this snake has stinky glands, and will release unpleasant gases when in danger, but the meat is very delicious, and it is a very popular game in rural areas.

Li Liang has a deep impression of this snake, in his previous life, when he watched the CCAV-7 set of military programs, there was a documentary about a certain special ~ species ~ detective ~ inspection company in the southwest border in the rain forest training, accompanying reporters to follow all the way. A young warrior found a thick king~brocade~ snake on a branch of a tree on the march. At that time, the reporter was frightened and curiously asked what the name of this snake was and whether it was poisonous. The little soldier said that this kind of snake is called big ~ king ~ snake, it is highly poisonous, and it will be carefully avoided when it is usually encountered, and if it is bitten, it will be life-threatening if it is not treated in time!

At that time, Li Liang almost laughed out loud when he watched this show, it is estimated that the editors and reviewers of the program team are all urban children, and they were stunned by the little soldier.

"Brother, what about snakes?" Although Chenchen is a girl, she has eaten it a few times since she was a child, and she does not reject this kind of game.

"It's still at my grandmother's house, it's not easy to take the rice when I carried it just now, I'll go over and get it later!" Zhang Meng replied.

"I'll go too!" Zhang Junjie said.

At this time, it was almost lunchtime, and Zhang Meng led Zhang Junjie to hurry up and get the snake. The two sisters, Chen Run and Chen Li, had already washed a basket full of vegetables, and Chen Run took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cut vegetables and let Chen Li rest first.

"Sister Lili, drink water!" Chen Chen poured Chen Li a glass of water and said.

Chen Li was born in the same year as Li Liang and Chenchen, she is a few months older than Li Liang and Chenchen, but she entered school a year earlier and graduated from junior high school this year. Some time ago, the results of the high school entrance examination came out, and Chenchen's mother who came back one night mentioned that Chen Li was not admitted to high school and did not want to repeat her studies, so she was going to work in a restaurant with Chen Run for a long time.

"Sister Lily, is the store busy every day now?" asked Li Liang.

"It's okay, business is getting better and better day by day during this time, and the turnover of the store yesterday was hundreds!" Chen Li said happily.

Chen Run and Chen Li's salary is currently tentatively set at 27 yuan per month, and if the monthly net profit exceeds 300, the bonus will rise by 10%, so that their monthly income is already comparable to that of regular workers in state-owned units. Chen Run and Chen Li are very content, and they are also very motivated in the store.

When Zhang Meng and Zhang Junjie came back with snakes, the store began to serve customers one after another. Now the customers in the store are not only the drivers who go to the cement factory to pull goods and the drivers who pass by on the national highway, but also some families living in the neighborhood with better family conditions, and they will occasionally come to the store for a meal.

Zhang Meng also negotiated a long-term business with the gas station opposite, which has three employees at Sinopec, who used to cook their own meals. Since I came to the store once to eat, I felt that Chen Chunhua's craftsmanship was a hundred times better than what they made themselves, so I no longer cooked by myself, and I always cooked the food in the store every day and went to the back end for them to eat.

Usually, the three of them divide the labor between Chen Li is the stove burner, Zhang Mengshi is the servant, Chen Run is also the ordering staff and cashier, and the busiest and most tired are Zhang Meng and Chen Run, basically when their feet do not stop.

After Li Liang and the three came to the store today, they shared a lot of pressure on Zhang Meng and them. Chenchen followed Chen Li as a waiter, ordering and reporting the dishes, and the guests had to clean up immediately after eating and prepare them for the next table of guests. Junjie helped to light the fire in the back kitchen, and Li Liang helped to prepare ice water at the counter. Chen Run will be a full-time cashier today, and he no longer needs to be busy.

In addition, Li Liang found that during the more than three hours from 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock at noon today, more than 80 customers came into the store, especially at about 12 o'clock during the peak period, many customers had no place to put their feet in the store, so they could only bask in the sun outside the door with a stool; and even some people who had not been assigned a stool were squatting in the corner. Li Liang didn't expect the restaurant's business to be so good before, and it seemed that it was time to expand the scale of the restaurant.

After a whole noon, everyone was so tired that they didn't want to move, especially Chenchen, Lily and Zhang Meng, who were cleaning up the table and passing the dishes, and they didn't stop. Chen Chunhua came out of the kitchen, and everyone put the two tables together, sat together, drank water and chatted. Chen Run saw that everyone was so tired, so she asked everyone to sit and rest, and she went to prepare lunch.

Chen Run began to learn to do things in the kitchen with her grandmother, Chenchen's grandmother, when she was 8 or 9 years old, and her cooking skills were also okay!

Zhang Junjie burned the fire in the kitchen for several hours, the sweat on his hot body was like a spring, and he said childishly: "Sister Lili, it turns out that the fire is so hot in summer! ”

Lily is usually doing the work of burning the fire in the store, and everyone laughed when she heard Zhang Junjie's words; Zhang Junjie rarely works at home, he has three sisters and an elder brother, and his brothers and sisters usually rush to do any work.

However, he still didn't forget about the snake, and said to Zhang Meng: "Brother, you go kill ~ snake!

When Zhang Meng heard this, he got up and went to the kitchen to clean up, Chen Run was more afraid of snakes.
