Ice cube orders are on fire.

This year, the summer in Henan seems particularly long. Over half a month ago, the meteorological department in Zhengzhou issued a red warning for high temperatures, with some areas reaching over 40C; at the beginning of this week, Zhengzhou once again experienced high temperatures, with the highest reaching 39C and the lowest at 30C. The number of hot days in Zhengzhou this year has already broken the local historical record. Under the scorching heat, ice factories are operating at full capacity, with industrial ice blocks weighing tens or hundreds of kilograms being delivered to various parts of the city, including construction sites, coal mines underground, fresh produce and seafood markets, and even school classrooms, providing people with a cool relief.
