Chapter 84 It turns out you are not a good person
Kikuemon, on the other hand, looked calm.
He cleared his throat and sat up straight, about to speak.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xia put down the teacup and pointed at the display cabinet: "I will choose the pottery jar on the far left of the third layer."
Kikuemon was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, his expression suddenly changed.
And what these words meant to the other members of Kikuemon's family was that the teacup was saved.
They immediately forgot the teasing they had said to the laymen and were left with only touched feelings.
——From the behavior of the “layman” just now, the young detective obviously knew the specialness of the teacup, but felt it was too expensive and was embarrassed to point it out, so he picked a more ordinary pottery... Good man! This is a considerate good man!
The daughter-in-law was afraid that Jiang Xia would go back on his word, so she ran to the cabinet and looked for it according to where Jiang Xia said it was. It was on the third floor, on the far left...
Um?
The daughter-in-law stared at the pottery jar that should have been lying in the warehouse, her face pale:
"Dad, why is it... Feng Shui Pills placed in the display cabinet!?"
This is Kikuemon's proud new work, which embodies his insights and efforts in recent years.
This work has not yet been published, and it should be carefully stored in the warehouse at this time.
But how...
Kikuemon turned his face away with some dissatisfaction: "Since you want to test others, then of course you have to carry out the test to the end. Fengshuiwan is my most precious masterpiece now, and it is worthy of this bet."
So just now, the old man hesitated for a while, ran to the warehouse and took out the Feng Shui pill. In this way, if Jiang Xia was not selected, he could show Jiang Xia his masterpiece on the spot.
Unexpectedly...
…
After listening to the two people's speeches, Jiang Xia understood.
He faced complicated looks from his disciples, such as “Damn, I misjudged you before!”, “So you are that kind of person!”, “Give me back my good guy card!” and so on: “…”
...No offense, just really lucky.
Besides, we don’t even know if this is authentic... But anyway, it’s used to grow potted plants, so it doesn’t matter who makes it.
Jiang Xia took the pottery jar that his daughter-in-law reluctantly handed over, touched it, and put it aside with satisfaction: "Thank you."
…
Although Kikuemon was willing to accept defeat, he was still a little depressed.
At this moment, he remembered that Jiang Xia first stared at the precious teacup in his hand, and then accurately picked out the "Feng Shui Pill". He suddenly realized that this little detective had an incredibly good eye. All he looked at were fine products, as if other things were not at all in his eyes.
In that case... maybe we can let Jiang Xia see the works of his three apprentices?
The title "Kikuemon" can only be passed on to one person.
In other words, before he died, he had to pick out his most proud disciple and pass on the title to him.
Kikuemon had long ago given the power to choose the next "Kikuemon" to his daughter-in-law. Although the daughter-in-law did not make pottery, she had a strong appreciation ability.
It just so happens that my daughter-in-law has been hesitating about who to give the title to recently. In this case, why not ask Jiang Xia for some advice? The "Feng Shui Pill" is Jiang Xia's appreciation fee.
Thinking of this, Kikuemon breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "Go and get the works they just made and show them to the guests."
The daughter-in-law ran to get something, and the apprentices followed to help.
Kikuemon walked into the corridor, looking at the courtyard, wondering what he was thinking about.
Mao Lilan and the others continued to gather around the display cabinet, admiring the precious collections - many of which were not for sale and were not easily found on the market.
…
Beside the coffee table, Toru Amuro glanced at the pottery jar that Jiang Xia was holding and whispered, "The pattern on it should be inspired by the waves and whirlpools, which is the style that Kikuemon is best at. The estimated value is probably over 10 million. After we go back, I can find someone to help you cash it out."
"...Hmm?" Jiang Xia had several hundred million in his card, but he was not very interested in money at the moment. After all, he had just bought a large number of maple leaf gold coins out of nothing a while ago. Moreover, he had already figured out what to plant with the new pottery jar.
His plans were suddenly disrupted, and he said reluctantly: "It's not a good idea to sell a gift from someone else."
Toru Amuro: "...?"
Who said before that they were short of money?
But Jiang Xia's eyes were surprisingly sincere, not like he was just being polite.
At this moment, Toru Amuro suddenly remembered that yesterday, he wanted to buy a pottery class experience voucher from Jiang Xia, but was rejected by Jiang Xia on the grounds that "things given by customers cannot be resold."
Toru Amuro: “…” Could it be that at that time, Jiang Xia was not just making excuses, but really thought so?
…In a strange place, the moral standards are quite high.
If he hadn't been indoctrinated with a bunch of evil ideas by the organization, he might have been good in other aspects as well... The evil organization is always destroying the future of the island nation.
Toru Amuro sighed regretfully in his heart, and had to bear another debt with the Black Organization.
…
Jiang Xia and the others, along with Kikuemon, waited in the room for nearly ten minutes.
Instead of waiting for the apprentices' works, he waited for his daughter-in-law with a pale face.
——When she was taking the pottery just now, her foot slipped and she knocked over a cabinet, breaking most of the porcelain inside, including several works of Kikuemon.
The other disciples who went with her were so frightened that they dared not utter a word - this was a very rare mistake for the shrewd young lady.
Kikuemon was caught off guard by the news of the death of his masterpieces. He staggered and raised his hand to cover his heart.
Toru Amuro and Conan stood up suddenly and began to review the first aid steps in their minds.
However, it turns out that the reason this national treasure-level master can live to be nearly 80 years old and still be vigorous is because he has his own way of regulating his mood.
He quickly recovered, shook his head and said to his daughter-in-law: "Tangible things will eventually dissipate... Let them pick up the pieces, and you go prepare dinner and entertain the guests tonight."
Having said that, the old man was actually still a little sad, and for a moment he no longer had the heart to discuss the "soul of pottery" with Jiang Xia. He hunched back to his room and became secluded.
