Zhou Bin announced in public: "Binfeng Coal Yard is officially open!"
Everyone applauded enthusiastically again and the scene was filled with joy.
After the village chief and the township head finished their speeches, they left and Zhou Bin began to arrange work.
He specially selected ten people to build simple sheds to prevent rain and snow, and then the rest of the people began to dig coal under the guidance of Zhang Pingshan.
Zhang Pingshan went down into the coal pit without saying a word and conducted a detailed survey. Then he pointed to the east and said, "Dig eastward from here."
Thirty people started digging the soil with shovels and pickaxes, and soon the black coal mine was revealed.
Zhang Pingshan picked up a lump of coal and burned it. It emitted a light blue flame. He immediately said excitedly: "This coal is of very good quality. It is top-grade coal!"
Everyone cheered and said that God was so good to them.
With everyone's concerted efforts, a small hole was quickly dug. Some people were responsible for digging coal inside, and some people were responsible for transporting the coal out in bamboo baskets. The transported coal was stored under the built public shed.
At noon, Li Nan, Aunt Zhao, Xiujuan, and Liu Fen'e pushed a cart to bring food to everyone. After lunch, everyone took a half-hour break and continued working in the afternoon.
In this way, after a week, everyone had dug out fifteen tons of coal and piled up a large pile of coal.
Zhou Bin discussed with Zhang Pingshan and decided to stop the process temporarily and start the trial production of coal briquettes.
Zhou Bin's original plan was to process the coal into briquettes for sale, because the profit from loose coal was too low and it was not cost-effective.
But he also plans to keep some loose coal in case of emergency.
After a week of work, five coal pits have been dug in the coal yard, and coal production has begun to increase rapidly.
After breakfast that day, Zhou Bin and Aniu transported the coal making machine they had purchased to the coal yard, and then waited for Zhang Pingshan to arrive so that they could start making coal balls.
