"You can't easily conclude that there is a big coal mine based on these few pieces of coal, right?" Bai Mingchuan is also a branch secretary no matter what he says, he has gone outside to meet and see the world, and knows what a big coal mine means to their village, if there is really a big coal mine, the country will definitely develop it, and then the future generations in the village will have the opportunity to change from farmers to coal miners.

But after thinking about it a little, he made the old mistake of looking ahead and backward again, how much coal is this? Where can you see that there are big coal mines around? If you rush to report it, you will be criticized.

"I can't talk about it now, I'm not on the exploration team, but it's good news; The Jiazigou Coal Mine in Northeast China was discovered from a piece of coal...... "Shen Long told the story of the Jiazigou Coal Mine and the Huolinhe Coal Mine, "In recent years, the state has always attached great importance to the exploration and development of coal mines. ”

"That's just as well." The exploration team is here, and Murakami is responsible for eating and living, they will definitely not live in vain, and Murakami can also have a few more living money, how can Baidian Village not lose, Bai Mingchuan is tempted.

"In the twenties, geologist Professor Wang Zhuquan estimated 90.447 billion tons of coal in this area in the "Geological Map of China Taiyuan Yulin Specification", which shows that we have coal is not without scientific basis." Zhengzhou Institute of Coal Geology and 186 exploration team has also come to northern Shaanxi for exploration many times after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but has not been to Baidian Village.

"In that case, tomorrow I will take someone to take you to have a look, and then walk around more, take a look, and prepare more things to report to the township and county." Bai Mingchuan calculated the time, "Now that the New Year is coming soon, let's get ready before the New Year and report as soon as the New Year begins." ”

"That's it, I'll go back first." This kind of thing is not something that can be solved overnight, Shenfu Dongsheng Coal Mine was discovered in 80 years, and construction only began in 84 years, and it is nothing to delay these few days.

In the past few days a few years ago, Shen Long took Bai Mingchuan to run around the mountains, looking for coal mining points for excavation according to the memories of later generations, the coal mines in this place are not open-pit coal mines, the coal seams are hidden in the ground of 400 to 800 meters, and there are not many coal blocks on the surface, but with the efforts of the big guys, a lot of them have been found, and Shen Long's map has also added more marks.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the big guys have gone back to the village to rest and prepare for the New Year, although it is still more difficult at the moment, the big guys still took out the grain at the bottom of the box, ready to make some delicious New Year's Holidays, in addition to the dumplings and bowls in northern Shaanxi, naturally there are dumplings in the north for the New Year.

For this reason, Bai Mingchuan also specially gave Shen Long a few catties of flour and pork, "You dolls have come to our village, but you have done a lot of good things for the village, this is a little bit of our village's heart, so don't shirk it." ”

Shen Long took it and gave Bai Mingchuan some candy and cigarettes he bought at the consignment point, there is nothing to spend money here, he still has a lot of savings from the capital, and he also went to Shichuan Village, Tucheng Commune two days ago, and sent some to Zhong Yuemin, and by the way, he taught them how to identify and process wild vegetables, hoping to let them hold on for a few more days.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the big guys began to make dumplings with joy, Shen Long showed them his hand again, all kinds of flower dumplings were very good-looking, just looking at this shape made the educated youths admire, "Kui Yong, your craftsmanship is even more powerful than the master of Defa Chang!" ”

Defa Chang is a time-honored restaurant in Xi'an City, specializing in dumplings, known as the world's first dumplings, it is said that when Cixi came to Xi'an for refuge, she couldn't eat anything, only Defa Chang's dumplings could make her like.

"Let me completely open your eyes today, don't make a mess here, I'll wrap the dumplings alone, you go to the fire, let's wrap a batch and make a batch, fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, boiled dumplings, baked dumplings, baked dumplings...... All kinds of tricks are exchanged to make you enjoy eating. "Cooking is addictive, Shen Longkong has good cooking skills, he has never had the opportunity to show it when he came here, and now he finally has some rich ingredients, so can he make a good table?

Cold salad, garlic mixed with bitter herbs, sauerkraut...... I made a few cold dishes in three times and two times, smeared a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pot, and fried the dumplings until they were golden brown, and the saliva of the educated youths flowed down.

"It's delicious!" Hu Jianjun didn't care about the heat, he stuffed it into his mouth in one bite, and felt a little regretful after sighing, "We have delicious food, I always feel unhappy without any wine for the New Year!" ”

"If there is wine, then can there be no wine!" As soon as the words fell, Bai Mingchuan came in with a snowflake, and he was still carrying a wine jar in his hand, "Oh, I'm really sorry, in fact, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, and I forgot about it two days ago." ”

"Bai Zhishu has a good New Year, and I bother you to make a special trip, come and sit down to eat some dumplings and drink two cups!" Shen Long pulled Bai Mingchuan to sit down, added a pair of dishes and chopsticks to him, and poured wine.

"Don't eat, don't eat, I'm still waiting for me to go back." Saying so, his eyes have been staring at those fried dumplings, northern Shaanxi has always eaten roughly, how has he ever seen such exquisite food? In a few words, he was persuaded by Shen Long to taste it, and he couldn't stop tasting it, not only the dumplings were delicious, but the cold vegetables were also good, and there was no bitter taste of wild vegetables at all.

"Shen Long, how many things do you have? This skill is much stronger than the master chef of our county canteen, and whoever does things in the village in the future will have to be the head chef! "In these years, we pay attention to diligence and thrift, but it is still okay to set up two tables for red and white ceremonies in the village.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Not to mention the red and white ceremonies in the village, even if it is a state banquet Shen Long, it is not worthwhile.

After tasting a few dumplings, Bai Mingchuan reluctantly left, firstly, the family had to wait for him to go back, and secondly, he also knew that the food of these educated youths was not abundant, and it was really not good to eat much.

After walking Bai Mingchuan, the educated youths felt much more comfortable, and they drank five or six to drink, and even the female intellectuals tasted a few sips.

As the saying goes, dumplings are more and more drunk, and the wine is not good to stop when you drink it, at the beginning, everyone is still talking and laughing, but I don't know who started, talking about relatives who are far away, and the atmosphere in the cave quickly became sad.

They are only sixteen, seventeen, or less than twenty years old, and this is the first time they have left their parents to spend the New Year outside, and they don't know how long it will take to return home, and the future is even more bleak.

When will we be able to go home, and where exactly is our way out? Thinking of this, Liu Ying, who was emotionally fragile, was the first to cry, followed by all the female intellectuals, and then Hu Jianjun and Jiang Shaoan's eyes were also a little red.
