"It's just that these pieces of coal cannot be easily determined to have a large coal mine?" Bai Mingchuan was also the branch secretary after all. He went outside to meet the world and knew what a large coal mine meant to their village. If there was a large coal mine, the country would definitely develop it. At that time, the young people in the village would have the opportunity to turn from farmers to coal mine workers.

But after thinking a little, he had a recurring old problem of looking back and forth. How much coal is there? From there, I saw that there were large coal mines around me? If I reported it rashly, I would be criticized.

"I can't say anything to death now. I'm not from the exploration team, but it's always good news; the Jiazigou coal mine in the northeast was discovered from a piece of coal..." Chen Long told the story of Jiazigou coal mine and Huolinhe coal mine. "In recent years, the country has always attached importance to the exploration and development of coal mines. If we report the news, they will definitely pay attention to it. At that time, the village will definitely help you."

"That's true." The exploration team came, and Murakami was responsible for food and accommodation. They would definitely not be in vain for food and accommodation. Murakami could have more money to live. No matter how much Baidian Village was counted, it would not be a loss. Bai Mingchuan was moved.

"In the 1920s, Professor Wang Zhuquan, a geologist, estimated that in the "Taiyuan Yulin Scene Instructions for China Geological Map", he estimated that there were 90.447 billion tons of coal in this area, which shows that our piece of coal has not no scientific basis." Zhengzhou Coal Geology College and the 186 exploration team have also visited northern Shaanxi for exploration many times after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but they have never been to Baidian Village.

"Then, I'll take someone with you tomorrow to see you, and then walk around the surrounding area, take more, prepare more things to go to the township and county to report." Bai Mingchuan calculated the time, "The New Year is coming soon. Let's prepare before the New Year and report at the beginning of the year."

"Then I'll go back first." This kind of thing is not something that can be solved overnight. The Dongsheng Coal Mine of Shenfu was discovered in 80 years and started construction in 84 years. It's nothing to delay the effort in these few days.

In the past few days before the New Year, Chen Long took Bai Mingchuan to run around the mountains and fields, searching for coal mining points based on the memories of later generations to dig. The coal mines in this place are not open-pit coal mines. The coal seams are hidden 400 to 800 meters underground. There are not many coal blocks on the surface. However, with the efforts of everyone, many were found, and Chen Long's map also added more annotations.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone returned to the village to rest and prepare for the New Year. Although it was still difficult, everyone still took out the food in the box and prepared to make some delicious New Year. In addition to the rice dumplings and bowls, these foods in northern Shaanxi are naturally indispensable.

For this reason, Bai Mingchuan also gave Chen Long a few kilograms of flour and pork, "You little kids came to our village, but they did a lot of good things for the village. This is the only wish of our village, so don't refuse."

Chen Long took it over and returned some candy and cigarettes he bought at the sales outlet to Bai Mingchuan. There was no money here. He still had a lot of savings from the capital. He also went to Shichuan Village, Tucheng Commune two days ago and gave some to Zhong Yuemin and the others. By the way, he taught them how to identify and process wild vegetables, hoping that they could hold on for a few more days.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone started making dumplings happily. Chen Long showed them another skill. The various flower dumplings were so beautiful. Just looking at the shape made the educated youth amazed, "Kuiyong, your skills are even better than those of the master with a long hair!"

Defachang is a time-honored restaurant in Xi'an. It is specialized in making dumplings and is known as the world's number one dumpling. It is said that when Cixi came to Xi'an for refuge, she couldn't eat anything, but Defachang's dumplings could make her like it.

"Today I will open your eyes completely. Don't make trouble here. I'll make dumplings by myself. Go and cook. Let's make batches of dumplings, steam dumplings, cook dumplings, roast dumplings... All kinds of tricks are changed to make you enjoy it." Cooking is addictive, Chen Longkong has a good cooking skills, and has never gotten the opportunity to display them when he comes here. Now he has finally had a little wealthy ingredients. How can he make a table well?

Cold shepherd's purse, garlic and bitter vegetable, sauerkraut... I made several cold dishes in three or two, applied a thin layer of oil to the bottom of the pot, put the dumplings down and fry them golden, and the saliva of the educated youth flowed down.

"It's so delicious!" Hu Jianjun didn't care about the hotness and stuffed it into his mouth. After sighing, he felt a little regretful, "We have something delicious. We always feel unhappy if we don't order wine during the New Year!"

"Wine is there, so how can there be no wine!" As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mingchuan came in with a snowflake, holding a jar of wine in his hand, "Oh, I'm really sorry, I've prepared it for you a long time ago. I forgot about it two days ago."

"Happy New Year, Secretary Bai, I'm sorry to go there and sit down and eat some dumplings and drink two cups!" Chen Long pulled Bai Mingchuan down, added a pair of bowls and chopsticks to him, and poured wine.

"I won't eat anymore, I won't eat anymore, my family is waiting for me to go back." He said this, but his eyes were staring at the fried dumplings. The food in northern Shaanxi has always been rough. He had never seen such exquisite food? He was persuaded by Chen Long to taste it after a few words, and he couldn't stop his mouth after tasting it. Not only was the dumplings delicious, but the cold dishes were mixed well, and there was no bitter taste of wild vegetables at all.

"Chenlong, how much do you know? This craft is much better than the masters in our county canteen. In the future, whoever in the village will do business, you have to be the chef!" These days, thrift is emphasized, but it is still possible to set up two tables of tables when encountering weddings and weddings in the village.

"It's easy to say." Not to mention the village's wedding and white events, even the state banquet is still awesome.

After tasting a few dumplings, Bai Mingchuan left reluctantly. First, his family had to wait for him to go back, and second, he also knew that the food of these educated youth was not abundant, so it was really hard to eat more.

After leaving Bai Mingchuan, the educated youth became much more comfortable. They started drinking with gala, and even the female educated youth tasted a few sips.

As the saying goes, the more you drink dumplings, the more you drink it, it becomes harder to stop when you drink it. At the beginning, everyone was talking and laughing, but I don’t know who started it. When talking about relatives far away from another place, the atmosphere in the cave quickly became sad.

They are still only sixteen or seventeen years old, and are under twenty years old. This is the first time they have left their parents to celebrate the New Year outside. And they don’t know how long it will take to go home, and their future is even more slim.

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