1979, RB, Hokkaido, Yubari City, 117 Naganuma-cho, Yoseni Restaurant.

Nobunaga Hatoshi was watching the TV, NTV TV's "A Star is Born!" program.

A cute girl is nervously facing the judges' inquiries.

"Akina Nakamori, you are singing Hiromi Iwasaki's "Summer に Hug れて".

"Hmm. I like the songs of Hiromi Iwasaki's predecessors very much. ”

"How old are you?"

"13 years old."

"13 years old. It's nice to be young. ”

"It's just that Hiromi Iwasaki's "Summer Hug れて", this genre is mature and not suitable for your age. So, sorry ......"

——— NTV TV's "A Star is Born! 1979.

…………

"Failed. It seems that even the first ancestor of Showa, it is not easy to debut. Nobunaga sighed.

"Except for steamed steamed buns, don't you have anything else to eat in the store?"

A young man with short hair, wearing sunglasses, waved the menu in his hand, and said dissatisfied.

Listening to the accent is not a native of Yubari City.

"There are also mustard slices, tofu milk, sardines, salmon fillets." Nobunaga replied with a frown when he saw the other party's exposed cuffs.

"A Star is Born! There is also an interview with the unsuccessful contestants, and Akina Nakamori will be interviewed soon.

Nobunaga was too lazy to entangle with such a guy.

"Baga! I'm talking about serious food! What are these canned side dishes? What a garbage Chinese restaurant!",

"Hey! I'm talking to you, boy! ”

"You're still watching TV! Are you looking down on me?! Feed! ”

The guest slapped the counter and shouted loudly, and the sporadic customers in the restaurant all seemed to have a tendency to make a big fuss.

…………

"My co-workers and I thought it would be enough to have steamed buns in this shop. Do you have any comments? ”

The man who spoke, burly and wearing the uniform of a worker at the Hokkaido Coal Mine Railway Co., Ltd.

He was followed by a few grumpy coal miners with dirty-faced, fresh out of the mines, snorting as they spoke, and carrying digging shovels and tools.

Yubari City, located in the central region of Hokkaido, discovered the Ishikari Coal Mine in 1874, and since then a large number of high-quality coal mines have been discovered, from Noborukawa Village, Hokkaido Second Class Village, Yubari Town, and Hokkaido First Class Town...... Eventually, it developed into Yubari City.

In 1960, it had a population of 140,000, making it the fifth largest city in Hokkaido.

The coal miners of Yubari City are known for their solidarity and bravery.

The man in sunglasses, seeing that something was wrong, threw the menu on the ground and left the restaurant with a curse.

…………

"Nobunaga, where did you mess with that guy?" Goro Kamado wiped the sweat stains from his face with a towel and picked up the menu on the ground.

Nobunaga shook his head: "That guy is Yakuza. I saw the red ghost tattoo on his arm. ”

Hear the word "Yakuza".

The laughing expressions of the surrounding coal workers became serious.

Yubari was the thriving of the RB economy, with 24 coal mines and 120,000 inhabitants at its peak.

Several communities have been built in the hills, living in long, narrow wooden houses with free housing, electricity, water and bathing.

Two years ago, RB movie star Ken Takakura starred in the classic movie "The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness" filmed here, which became the best footnote to Yubari's brilliance.

…………

However, the workers, who are the pillar industries of Yubari City, are faintly anxious and uneasy in their hearts.

May 1973: Mitsubishi Daiyubari Coal Mine was closed;

March 1975: Beitan Heping Coal Mine was closed;

In October of the previous year, the second coal mine in Zhangxin, Beitanxi, was closed;

This is a clear sign.

After more than 100 years of continuous mining, Yubari City's pillar coal industry has clearly begun to dry up.

In the past, law and order here were all maintained by the Coal Workers' Autonomous Association.

Now that the mines are depleted, many workers have moved with their families, and the Autonomous Council is facing a shortage of members.

Some of the coal block workers in the village town will even disintegrate.

Without the protection of the Autonomous Council, the local security situation is much worse than before.

Some dark garbage from other places has also infiltrated the city.

…………

When Goro Kamado got a glass of ice water, he took it down, let out a sigh, and said, "Don't worry, you are the exclusive canteen of our coal mine." If this guy dares to come next time, let him taste the power of our northern charcoal workers. ”

Goro Kamado is the director of the coal mine and the coal production workshop of the North Carbon Shimizuzawa Coal Mine. He is also the head of the Naganuma Coal Workers' Autonomous Committee.

He has a good reputation among workers and residents, and is a warm-hearted, reliable, and righteous big brother.

"Yes, this is the territory of our Ishikari coal workers, where is the turn of those garbage to scatter wild!"

"I've been seeing those guys for a long time."

"To eat two big white steamed buns in Yangquanlou, I want to beat 10."

The restaurant has returned to a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.

At the height of Yubari's coal industry, even the governor of Hokkaido did not dare to underestimate the power of the coal workers.

Hokkaido Coal Mine Railway Co., Ltd. is the largest company in Hokkaido, and the workers are full of pride and honor.

The governor of Hokkaido, Naohiro Dogaki, even called the Hokkaido charcoal workers "the masters of Hokkaido".

…………

"The steamed buns are here."

The apprentice, Gifu Taro, picked up the steamer, and inside was a large white steamed bun that had just been baked.

Six pieces of information appeared in Nobunaga's mind.

"Ding! Unbeatable steamed steamed buns! ”

"Ding! Unbeatable steamed steamed buns! ”

"Ding! Unbeatable steamed steamed buns! ”

…………

"Ding! Invincible steamed buns! ”

Nobunaga knew that he had taken a big step forward from his goal of becoming a "grandmaster".

It's finally time to get through the relief......
