Chapter 3: The blood-colored jade pendant, and the warm daily life of the cook Fang Fang
In the end, Fang Fang was persuaded by Fang Xiang, and the two opened this card fun store as a livelihood.
In the past three years, the business has been good, the living expenses are more than enough, and it can also allow Fang Xiang to study the production of soul-exclusive cards to his heart's content.
Now three years have passed, Fang Fang graduated from high school and is admitted to college in this city.
During the summer vacation, Fang Fang helped Fang Xiang look at the store at home, so that Fang Xiang had more time to study the soul-exclusive cards.
Originally, Fang wanted to be self-taught, but it stands to reason that he should have joined the Card Master Association a long time ago, cultivated the systematic card master creation method, certified the card master level, and became bigger and stronger.
But Fang Xiang didn't do this, and the reason why he is still an apprentice of the card master who is not in the stream is because of Fang Xiang's wishful thinking.
Fang wants to try to subvert the existing card master system, and at this stage, as a non-influent card master, create a character card that can start from scratch, upgrade and evolve and cultivate, and have a soul.
If Fang Xiang could cultivate today's card master system with his heart, it is estimated that he would have broken through to the Black Iron Card Master, or even the Bronze Card Master, and it would not be impossible!
Because an unpopular card master can make [Gradient Voice-Activated Luminous Stockings], it is already a very advanced thing for the Card Master Association, not to mention that Fang Xiang has other strange inventions.
For example, a banana toy and an inedible egg, etc., these need to be customized.
Fang Fang once persuaded Fang Xiang to let Fang Xiang go to the Card Master Association to study systematically, and it was also good to be backed by the big tree of the Card Master Association.
Fang Fang is the granddaughter of Old Man Fang, the two are exactly the same age, and they grew up together.
In the three years since Old Man Fang's death, the two have relied on each other for their lives and have nothing to say.
However, in the face of Fang Fang's doubtful question, Fang Xiang's answer was to make Fang Fang completely break the idea of persuasion in the next three years.
"I can see the soul of all things!"
Fang Fang still remembers that when Fang Xiang talked to herself, Fang Xiang's expression was so dignified and serious, without the slightest hint of joking.
The soul that Fang wants to talk about is not the soul of human beings, but the soul of "all things".
Flowers and trees, birds and animals, and even man-made buildings, clouds, rain, sun and moon, heaven and earth, all things can see their souls.
The reason why Fang Xiang has always insisted on creating exclusive cards that have souls and cultivate and evolve from scratch is because of this.
Fang Xiang can convert these souls into his own unique soul power, and inject these soul powers into the cards when carving character cards.
This is also the reason why Fang wants to go out at night, he needs to collect these souls that will be very active at night.
"This little match girl is already the most successful, she lit the fire, and next time, maybe it will be successful!"
Fang wanted to cheer himself up, then put down the carving knife, went to his bed, and turned out a jade pendant from under the pillow.
This jade pendant Old Man Fang said that when Fang wanted to be picked up by himself, the thing in the swaddling clothes should be a jade pendant representing Fang Xiang's identity.
The jade pendant is ruddy all over, as if it was stained with blood, and is strung with red rope and beads of unknown material, so that it can be worn around the neck.
The front is carved with an angry eye, like the heavenly eye of a god, and just looking at it makes people feel intimidated.
On the back is a palace hidden in blood-colored clouds, and the plaque of the palace is carved with three large characters, but it seems to be hidden by some force.
The three words were obviously there, but Fang Xiang couldn't see it, and the way was unclear.
"You gave me the power to see the soul of all things, but why can't you let me have the power to create all things?"
Fang Xiang looked at this jade pendant, and on a whim, he wore it around his neck for the first time in his life.
After the blood-red jade touched Fang Xiang's chest, it seemed to come to life, and the heavenly eye on the front inadvertently seemed to blink.
"Fang Xiang, come down to eat!"
Fang Xiang didn't notice the change in the jade pendant on his chest, and it just so happened that Fang Fang's voice calling for dinner also sounded.
"It's coming!"
Fang wanted to put on his slippers and go downstairs to the kitchen to eat.
Fang Fang was dressed like a professional chef at this time, with a plaid apron over her white shirt.
Holding a spatula in one hand and a pot in the other, he is putting the stir-fry screws in the pan into the plate.
The stir-fried screws emitted a pungent and appetizing fragrance, and Fang Xiang couldn't help but start secreting saliva.
"How's it going, is this card pot any good?"
Fang Xiang looked at Fang Fang, and after bringing the stir-fry screws on the stove to the dining table, he said with a smile after serving a bowl of rice to each of them.
Fang Fang, who was taking off her apron, said with a smile: "Easy to use is easy to use, light and fast." But this one needs to be charged, and the energy card doesn't cost money! β
Fang Xiang laughed and said, "Little wealth fan, what kind of money do I want for the energy card I made myself?" β
Fang Fang sat down, looked at Fang Xiang and said, "It's not right for you to say that, you sell it and use it for yourself, it's completely different things." Selling is money, using is consumption. β
"But one thing to say, I think you should go and get a black iron card master certificate.
I think the energy card you made recently seems to be more abundant than the black iron energy card in the school, and the spiritual power should have broken through to the black iron. β
Fang Xiang looked at Fang Fang's appearance as a little wealth fan, and said with a smile: "Haha, according to your calculations, then let's drink the northwest wind directly in the future."
Pure natural and pollution-free, save money and effort, open your mouth and eat full! β
"Hmph, eat, the rice can't stop your mouth!"
Fang Fang saw that he couldn't say anything about Fang Xiang, so he directly gave Fang Xiang a chopstick of shredded edamame meat, wanting to block Fang Xiang's mouth.
Seeing Fang Fang sandwich the shredded edamame meat for herself, Fang Xiang smiled even more happily, gulping down the food in the bowl, and praised while eating: "Xiaofang's cooking skills are getting better and better!" β
"This edamame fried shredded pork, the beans are tender and the meat is fresh, and then supplemented by green peppers to enhance the flavor. Beans are like jade beads, meat is like jade shoots, and it is called a fragrance when you eat it. β
"I really don't know which stinky boy will be cheaper in the future, hehe (#^.^#)."
Hearing Fang Xiang praise himself in the first half of the sentence, Fang Fang was about to answer and say that he was cooking with his heart.
But before the words could be spoken, the second half of Fang Xiang's sentence made Fang Fang angry, glared at Fang Xiang and said, "Grandpa said, don't talk when eating." β
"Hmph, if you finish speaking, I'll finish the dish in one go, and I won't give it to you!"
Fang Xiang chewed the shredded meat in his mouth, looked at Fang Fang, hurriedly took a big bite to eat, and stopped talking, but his eyes were inadvertently looking at Fang Fang, who had been staring at him, and showed a deep smile.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!"
Fang Fang saw that Fang Xiang was in such a hurry, and was just about to ask Fang Xiang to eat slowly, but as soon as the words fell, Fang Xiang ate the dried chili flakes inside.
"Ahemβ"
Looking at Fang Xiang, who was coughing, Fang Fang hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stepped forward and patted Fang Xiang's back: "Just finished telling you to eat slowly, look at you." β
"Choking, dried peppers, just-"
Fang Xiang said hesitantly, and then took a sip of the refrigerated sour plum soup handed over by Fang Fang, and got better.
"Ahh It's so cool! It's so refreshing to drink sour plum soup in summer! β
Fang Xiang put down the cup of sour plum soup and sighed.
