20. Orchard expropriation and compensation

"Comrade Jiang, your orchard will be expropriated by the state because of its secret location!!"

"Now, we have two plans to compensate you!"

"The first plan is for the Yangji Military Region, Yangji City Trainers Association, Yangji City Government and other departments to jointly invest 2000 million to directly buy your orchard!"

"The second option is that the Fengxiangshu Orchard in Yulin County is about the same size as your orchard. It also grows yellow and orange fruits. It has 230 fruit trees planted on [-] acres of land!"

"This Fengxiangshu Orchard is official and can be used to compensate you for your losses!"

"Which option do you choose? Of course, you can also mention the conditions. We must both be satisfied, right?!"

Zhou Zhuo said in a gentle tone.

After coming out of the orchard, Jiang Xiao hurried back home with his shocked parents.

Zhou Zhuo also followed. As the captain of the rescue team of the Yangji City Trainers Association, Zhou Zhuo also had other tasks!

For example, discuss with Jiang Xiao's family the expropriation of orchards and compensation issues from relevant departments.

"Uncle Zhou, please have some tea first, and we will go in to discuss it. Please wait a moment!"

Before Jiang's father and Jiang's mother decided, Jiang Xiao came forward to pour tea for Zhou Zhuo, and then motioned to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother to go to the back room to talk about the matter.

Zhou Zhuo smiled and said, "Ask me!"

Taking Jiang's father and mother into the back room, Jiang Xiao looked at the two of them and asked, "Mom and dad, tell me what's on your mind. I'm still waiting!"

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang looked at each other, and it was Father Jiang who finally spoke first, "Son, I cannot agree to the first plan. Although 2000 million is a lot, it is comparable to our family's income in 50 years..."

"But, the orchard is the root of the family. Without the roots, there is no income. Our family will just rest on its laurels. Sooner or later, we will run out!"

"Your mother and I think that the second option is feasible. Fengxiangshu Orchard is a famous orchard in Yulin County. The fruit trees are all old fruit trees, and they bear more than [-] fruits a year!"

"If we choose Fengxiangshu Orchard, at least our family can make a living!" Dad Jiang said.

"Okay! Then let's choose the second one!"

Jiang Xiao nodded and said that he also wanted to choose the second option. The first option was to fish from the lake, which was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst!

After the family made a decision, Jiang Xiao came forward to discuss the matter with Zhou Zhuo.

After all, their orchard was to be expropriated, so Jiang Xiao naturally wanted to get more benefits!

For example, in a procurement contract, the government must purchase 70% of the yellow orange fruits produced by Fengxiangshu Orchard at the prevailing market price!

This purchase contract is the key point, at least it opens up sales for Fengxiangshu Orchard!

Previously, the output of the Jiang family's tree orchard was on the market, and a lot of money was lost every year due to various factors.

The two parties negotiated and initially reached a cooperation intention. Zhou Zhuo left with the contents of the agreement and stated that a notice would be issued in three days!

"Okay, there's no need to give them away!"

Zhou Zhuo stood at the door of Jiang's house, waved his hand, released the big-billed bird, and flew away.

After Zhou Zhuo left, Jiang Ma's expression changed, she pulled Jiang Xiao's ear and walked towards the house.

"Ah, mom, it hurts..."

"Ah? You still know it hurts? Aren't you very brave? How do you know it hurts?"

"Do you know how worried we are about you? How dare you enter the secret realm silently?"

"How many people die in the secret realm every year? Don't you want to live? Woohoo..."

"Oh, Mom, don't cry!"

Jiang Xiao said in a panic: "My son knows he was wrong! Don't cry anymore!"

"Are you going to go in the future..."

………………

After Jiang's father and mother were comforted, Jiang Xiao returned to the room upstairs exhausted.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Jiang Xiao saw the pink butterfly on the bed playing with her mobile phone.

Caipindie was browsing short videos and drinking moo milk, not to mention how comfortable she was.

"Don't play with pink butterflies for too long, mobile phones are bad for your eyes!" Jiang Xiao said casually.

Then, Jiang Xiao fell on the bed and fell asleep soon. He was too tired.

"Gulu~~"

Glancing at Jiang Xiao who was sleeping, Cai Fendie pulled the quilt from the side to cover him, and then ran to the side holding the phone.

Jiang Xiao slept so well that he didn't wake up until dinner time.

"Woooo!!"

Jiang Xiao rubbed his eyes. You could see that he was still a little tired on his face. A tense and exciting experience made him physically and mentally exhausted.

"Son, how do you eat elf eggs?"

At this moment, Jiang Ma's voice came up from downstairs, and Jiang Xiao really woke up.

“Mom, it’s time to eat the poached eggs!”

Jiang Xiao washed his face, walked downstairs, and shouted to his mother in the kitchen that Father Jiang was watching TV on the sofa with Caipindie, and they were watching the world of elves.

"By the way, keep the eggshells and I'll make some bite sticks later!" Jiang Xiao then shouted.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiao also sat on the sofa.

The pink butterfly was caught in the middle and felt a little uncomfortable, so it flew up and landed on Jiang Xiao's head.

He plucked Jiang Xiao's hair with his little hands and made it into a fluffy chicken coop. The colorful pink butterfly lay on top of Jiang Xiao's head as its own throne.

Not long after, the alluring scent of eggs wafted out from the kitchen. It was far more fragrant than any other eggs, and it could almost draw out one's soul.

Jiang Xiao didn't even think about watching TV anymore, his mind had already gone to the kitchen!

Soon, Jiang's mother prepared dinner, and the family sat on both sides of the dining table.

The pink butterfly also has its own place!

The pink butterfly curls up its wings, has hands and feet, and can eat by holding its own rice bowl.

"Come on, let's try some. It's such a big elf egg. I wonder if it can be eaten?"

Jiang Ma cooked a pot of elf eggs, and everyone could get a lot of pieces.

Jiang Xiao couldn't wait to take a bite. Suddenly, his whole body froze, his eyes opened, and his whole body seemed to be enveloped by the fragrance of eggs.

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, crispy and soft, the egg cubes are sprinkled with some seasoning (natural chili powder), which makes it especially delicious.

Jiang Xiao ate it in three bites and felt that his whole body was warm, and his tired body seemed to be washed.

"Gulu~~"

The colorful pink butterfly was also very excited to eat, poached eggs with moo milk, the soul was very satisfied!

After eating elf eggs for the first time, Jiang Xiao finally knew how delicious they were. No wonder someone on the Internet said that people who have eaten elf eggs will never forget the deliciousness of elf eggs.

The same was true for Jiang's father and Jiang's mother. The whole family forgot to talk and ate all the poached eggs like starving ghosts.

"Phew! This meal is really delicious!"

Father Jiang patted his belly and felt much more relaxed. His body was warm, and even his legs with rheumatism no longer hurt so much.

This elf egg is like a panacea in the fantasy world. If you eat it often, no wonder it has the effect of prolonging your life.

"Dad, Mom, you go digest it after eating. Elf eggs are very energy-rich and a great supplement. Over-supplementing can lead to injury..."

"When I get older, I can still taste elf eggs worth tens of thousands. This life will be worth it!"
