"This is shepherd's purse. It is available all year round. It can be used in cold dishes or made into sauerkraut... This is a bitter vegetable, which can reduce inflammation and relieve internal heat..." The land in northern Shaanxi is barren, and it is winter again. The only wild vegetables that can be found are After teaching them how to distinguish between these two or three types, everyone dispersed to look for them.

Hu Jianjun and Sun Xiaoxia together, Jiang Shaoan led Liu Ying, as Qin Ling said, in such a remote and remote place, everyone is lonely, it is always better to find someone to hug together for warmth.

Since they were like this, Shen Long was not polite and led Qin Ling away to a place where others could not see him. He hugged and kissed her for a while before starting to work.

After working like this for several days, they dug up all the wild vegetables that could be found around them. If they wanted to find more, they would have to go further. Some educated youths gave up because they were tired, but Shen Long still carried the basket on his back all day long. , hoes are running all over the mountains and fields.

On this day, he, Qin Ling, Hu Jianjun, and Sun Xiaoxia went out, walked through several mountain ridges, and came to a place they had never been before. Shen Long looked at the surrounding terrain thoughtfully, and put down his backpack, " Okay, stay here today, you go dig wild vegetables, and I’ll see if I can find voles.”

Voles like to store food. If you find a vole hole, you can dig two or three kilograms of grain. If you dig a little, you can even dig dozens of kilograms of grain. They dug a few in the past few days and took out several days of rations. So I heard Shen Long say this He said that everyone was not surprised and everyone went about their business, while Shen Long stared at the stones at the bottom of the ditch with wide eyes.

Until noon, everyone ate some dry food and gathered the wild vegetables they dug together. "Hey, it's getting harder and harder to dig wild vegetables these days. It took me a long time to dig just a few."

"If it was easy to dig, why would the villagers go begging for food!" Shen Long sighed, "We are doing well now. Zhong Yuemin and the others have been deducted half of their rations by the village. I guess they should stop eating at the beginning of spring. "

"When will this day end?" Hu Jianjun looked into the distance silently, and Sun Xiaoxia stepped forward and gently held his hand.

"Don't say these depressing words. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's get more wild vegetables. When the Chinese New Year comes, I will show you my skills and cook a delicious meal. Everyone will be happy. This is called the revolutionary romantic spirit." Shen Long advised.

"Then I have to wait carefully. I'm really surprised that I haven't eaten the food you cooked these days." They were all young people, and the sadness came and went quickly. Hu Jianjun was quickly attracted by the delicious food.

"Okay, you mean the meal I cooked yesterday wasn't delicious, right?" He was busy praising Shenlong, but he forgot that yesterday's meal was cooked by Sun Xiaoxia. Sun Xiaoxia threw his hand away and gave him a cold look. .

"Xiaoxia, that's not what I meant..." Hu Jianjun's funny appearance made Shen Long and Qin Ling laugh.

After resting for a while, he continued to work. This time Shen Long finally made a new discovery. He found a black stone in a corner at the bottom of the ditch. Shen Long's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to dig it up. After a while, it was This black stone as big as a basin was dug out.

Wipe off the soil on the stone and knock the stone in half. You can clearly see the traces of ginkgo leaf fossils on the cross section. Looking at the black and shiny reflection on the cross section, Shen Long can be sure that this is no ordinary stone. But coal; that's what he wanted to find.

Even though Jingbian County is so poor now, it will become a famous energy and mineral base in the country in the future, with proven oil reserves of more than 300 million tons, natural gas reserves of 466.6 billion cubic meters, and coal proven reserves of 3.5 billion tons; especially coal mines, here are The coal mine is the connection point of Dongsheng Shenfu Coalfield, the largest coalfield in the country.

In this era, it is unrealistic to live a good life by farming. Only the development of industry can bring new hope to the local area. Everyone thinks that the country has been in chaos and no development in the past ten years. In fact, this is not the case. During this period, the energy fields such as petroleum and coal developed rapidly, and many large coal mines such as Gaoyang Coal Mine, Pingdingshan Coal Mine, and Baodingshan Coal Mine were newly built. If evidence of the existence of this large coalfield could be found in advance, the country would not leave it alone.

Shen Long naturally would not let go of this information. When he came here before, he specifically asked the local old man to learn the story of when the coal mine was discovered. Just now he observed the nearby terrain and the location where the old man said the exploration team discovered the coal mine. It was similar, and as expected, coal was found nearby.

He did not say anything immediately, but continued digging along the exposed areas of the coal. He found new coal, took out a pen and paper and drew a scribbled map, marking the place where the coal was found. Then he continued to search around based on the old people's descriptions, and then he found the second and third pieces of coal.

When he was about to go back, Shen Long had already piled five or six coal blocks in his basket. These coal blocks were distributed within several miles of the surrounding area, which showed that the coal field was very large.

"Where did the coal come from?" Hu Jianjun was a little confused when he saw Shen Long carrying such a pile of things on his back. "This saves us the trouble of looking for firewood." The vegetation on the Loess Plateau is not dense, so finding fuel is also a laborious task.

"It was dug out from the bottom of the ditch, but these coals cannot be burned casually. I have great use for them." Shen Long ran back to the village happily with the coal on his back. He went directly to Bai Mingchuan's house without even taking care of food.

"Shen Long is here, we just want to have something to eat together." Bai Mingchuan greeted him warmly for dinner, and his daughter immediately brought Shen Long bowls and chopsticks. She now works at a consignment store and is very grateful to Shen Long.

"No, Party Secretary, I just found some good things, come out and have a look." Shen Long pulled Bai Mingchuan and ran outside, leaving Bai Mingchuan's wife and children confused. What's going on?

"Look, I just dug out the coal in the ditch over there!" Shen Long poured out all the coal with a crash.

"Shen Long, you are a good young man, don't do such crooked things." Bai Mingchuan didn't react for a moment, thinking that Shen Long was giving him a gift.

"What's the crooked way? Haha, party secretary, you've got it wrong. I can't bear to give you such a good thing." Shen Long laughed.

"Isn't it just coal? What's so weird about it?" Bai Mingchuan muttered. How happy is this little thing to make you so happy?

"This is not ordinary coal, it means there may be a big coal mine in front of our village!" It is not uncommon to discover a large coal field from a small piece of coal.

In "Crossing Guandong", Zhu Chuanjie dug a large piece of coal in Jiazigou and discovered the "Jiazigou Coal Mine"; in 1958, herdsmen in the Zalut Banner discovered ashes left by ancient people hundreds of years ago in an ancient castle. coal, leading to the discovery of the Huolinhe open-pit coal mine.
