Chapter 84 So You Are Not a Good Person
Kikuemon had a calm demeanor.
He cleared his throat and sat up straight, about to speak.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xia put down her teacup and pointed to the display cabinet: "I'll just choose the clay pot on the far left on the third floor."
Kikuemon was taken aback, but after a while, his expression suddenly changed.
And this sentence fell into the ears of the rest of Kikuemon's family - the teacup was saved.
They immediately forgot those ridicules to laymen, and were only moved in their hearts.
——Judging from the behavior of the "layman" just now, the young detective obviously already knew the specialness of the teacup, but he felt that it was too precious and he was embarrassed to break it, so he picked a more ordinary pottery... Good man! This is a considerate and nice guy!
The daughter-in-law was afraid that Jiang Xia would repent, so she trotted to the side of the cabinet, and looked for it according to the location Jiang Xia said, the third floor, the far left...
Um?
The daughter-in-law stared at the clay pot that should have been lying in the warehouse, her face turned pale:
"Dad, it...how come Fengshui pills are placed in the exhibition cabinet!?"
This is Kikuemon's proud new work, which condenses his insights and painstaking efforts in recent years.
This work has not had time to be released, and it stands to reason that it should be treasured and kept in the warehouse at this time.
But how...
Kikuemon turned his face away somewhat dissatisfied: "Since we want to test it for others, of course we must carry it through to the end. Feng Shui Wan is the masterpiece I cherish most now, and it is worthy of this bet."
So just now, the grandfather struggled for a while, ran to the warehouse by himself, and carried Feng Shui Wan out. In this way, if Jiang Xia fails to choose, he can still show Jiang Xia his favorite work on the spot.
did not expect……
...
After listening to the speeches of the two, Jiang Xia understood.
He faced the complicated eyes of his apprentices, "Damn it, I misjudged you before!", "So you are this kind of person!", "Give me back the good person card!" and other complicated eyes: "..."
...No offense intended, just a stroke of luck.
What's more, I don't know if this is the real thing... But anyway, it's used to grow potted plants, and it doesn't matter who makes it.
Jiang Xia took the earthen pot that his daughter-in-law reluctantly handed over, touched the feel, and put it aside with satisfaction: "Thank you."
...
Although Kikuemon was willing to gamble and admit defeat, he was still a little depressed after all.
At this time, he remembered that just now, Jiang Xia first stared at the precious teacup in his hand, and then precisely picked the behavior of "Feng Shui Wan". It seemed that other things could not enter his eyes at all.
In this case... maybe let Jiang Xia take a look at the works of his three apprentices?
The title of "Kikuemon" can only be passed on to one person.
In other words, before his death, one of the most proud apprentices must be picked out and given the title.
Kikuemon has long handed over the power to choose the next "Kukemon" to his daughter-in-law. Although the daughter-in-law does not make pottery, she has a strong appreciation ability.
Coincidentally, recently the daughter-in-law is also hesitating who to give the title to. In this case, it is better to ask Jiang Xia to give some reference. "Feng Shui Pill" is regarded as Jiang Xia's appreciation fee.
Thinking of this, Kikuemon let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at his daughter-in-law: "Go and get the work they just burned, and show it to the guests."
The daughter-in-law ran to get something. The apprentices followed to help.
Kikuemon walked to the corridor, looking at the courtyard, wondering what he was thinking about.
Mao Lilan and the others continued to gather around the showcase, admiring the precious collections—there are many not-for-sale items inside, which are not easily seen on the market.
...
Beside the coffee table, Toru Amuro glanced at the clay pot Jiang Xia was holding, and said in a low voice, "The pattern on this should be inspired by the waves and vortexes. It is Kikuemon's best style, and the estimated price is about ten million. Above, after I go back, I can find someone to help you realize it.”
"...Huh?" Jiang Xia has hundreds of millions in his card, and he is not very interested in money at the moment. After all, he just bought a large number of Maple Leaf Gold Coins a while ago. And at this time, he has already conceived what to plant with the newly acquired clay pot.
The plan was suddenly disrupted, and he said reluctantly: "It's not good to sell a gift from someone else."
Toru Amuro: "...?"
Who said before that he was short of money.
But Jiang Xia's eyes are actually quite sincere, not like being polite.
At this time, Toru Amuro suddenly remembered that yesterday, he wanted to buy a pottery classroom experience voucher from Jiang Xia, but was rejected by Jiang Xia on the grounds that "it cannot resell the things sent by customers".
Toru Amuro: "..." Could it be that at that time, Jiang Xia was not actually making excuses, but really thought so?
...in strange places, the moral standard is quite high.
If it wasn't for being instilled with a bunch of evil ideas by the organization, maybe it would be in other ways... The evil organization is always destroying the future of the island nation.
Toru Amuro sighed regretfully, and made an extra charge to the Black Organization.
...
Jiang Xia and the others, along with Kikuemon, waited in the room for nearly ten minutes.
Instead of waiting for the works of the apprentices, the pale-faced daughter-in-law came instead.
——When she was picking up the pottery just now, she slipped on her foot and knocked down a cabinet. Most of the porcelain inside was broken, and there were several works of Kikuemon among them.
The apprentices who went with her were too frightened to make a sound - this is a very rare mistake for the shrewd young lady.
Kikuemon was caught off guard by the news of the death of his masterpieces, he shook his hand and covered his heart.
Toru Amuro and Conan stood up quickly, and began to review the first aid steps in their minds.
However, it turns out that this national treasure-level master can live to nearly 80 years old because he has his own way of regulating his mood.
He quickly recovered, shook his head and said to his daughter-in-law: "The tangible things will eventually dissipate...Let them pack up the pieces. You go prepare dinner and entertain guests tonight."
Having said that, the old man was actually a little sad, and for a moment he had no intention of discussing the "pottery soul" with Jiang Xia, and walked back to the room hunched over, shutting himself up.
