I'm making soy sauce in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 462 Final Preparations
Mingmei's apartment didn't have a table for him to display the Doll's Day dolls, so he could only run downstairs to the nearest store to buy some.

There are 1 humanoid dolls in total, and this is the scale of seven floors. Mingmei specifically told him not to buy too much. As a Japanese, like most Japanese, she likes to regard odd numbers such as 3, 5, 7, and [-] as lucky number.

When Guangyou bought these tables, he took a look at the price of the doll, and he was also taken aback by the price of the doll.

Originally, he only knew that the price was expensive, but he didn’t expect that most of the dolls for the Doll’s Festival cost between 15 yen and 50 yen, and the expensive ones even cost millions of yen.
On the way back, Guangyou also sighed: "It's really a waste of money. Back then, Xiao Ai's parents were really willing to spend money."

Even today, although many families celebrate Doll’s Day for their daughters, they only buy the top two dolls, the Emperor and the Empress, and place them on only one table.

Even the parents and families share the cost of buying dolls, and because the children are too young, they will not buy any particularly good dolls, and instead buy more and supplement year by year.

Of course, these are what Guangyou heard from the aunts in the shop...
There was a show about the process of making dolls by hand in the store just now, and he also stopped in front and watched the whole process of the accelerated version.

Thinking of the content in the video just now, Guangyou also comforted himself: "But it's all handmade, and the price is okay."

"I am back."

Guangyou returned to Mingmei's apartment with the assembleable table in his arms, put the table down, wiped off the dust on his hands, and started assembling directly. After all, time waits for no one, and Xiao Ai is probably coming soon.

"Sister Mingmei, I just bought the table, what about your side? The doll should not be broken, right? If it breaks, I'll have time to buy one."

Akemi was checking the damage of the doll at this time.

She put down a doll, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's very well preserved, and there is no sign of damage. Maybe this thing can be passed down."

"Pass it down?"

While assembling the table, Guangyou asked curiously, "Can this thing be a family heirloom?"

Mingmei nodded, and explained very patiently: "Yes, these things can be passed on to the next generation, and they are also part of the dowry of many girls, and the dolls of many famous noble families even have a history of hundreds of years. "

Guangyou was also slightly taken aback, and complained: "I guess it will cost tens of millions of yen to buy it."

"You want to buy someone but not sell it."

Mingmei rolled her eyes, and after a short break, she also got up to help assemble the table together, explaining, "Basically, this thing is given by the elders as a birthday present to female juniors."

"There are even hundreds of dolls in the homes of those famous nobles. The display is quite spectacular, and they will even be designated as special cultural relics by the country. This value cannot be measured by money."

It was also the first time Guangyou had heard of this kind of statement. Thinking about it carefully, there are cultural relics in the house, which sounds like a lot of cards.

He asked: "It should be more than that simple. I guess this doll also represents the social status and economic situation of their family at that time, which is equivalent to the face of the family?"

"That's right."

Mingmei glanced at Guangyou appreciatively and nodded, "So even if you pay hundreds of millions of yen, those people probably won't sell it. After all, they are no longer short of money at that level. If you change the unit It is estimated that they will consider it.”

"That doesn't exist. With that money, I might as well buy a house, make investments, and then travel around the world with Xiao Ai. That would be great."

After Guangyou complained, he turned his head to look at Mingmei, and asked, "Speaking of which, Miss Mingmei, have you celebrated Girl's Day before?"

"My parents prepared these dolls for me. Of course I had them when I was a child. They had to prepare them when Shiho was born, but something happened later."

Mingmei looked very relaxed when she said these words, as if she was afraid that Guangyou would think too much. Shiho and I have never been able to get out."

"Yes, to be honest, sister Mingmei, you can face this kind of thing so calmly, I admire you very much."

Guangyou has also seen people who couldn't get out because of similar things, and one of his former "colleagues" was like this.

She also experienced things similar to the two sisters, and she could only rely on frantic tasks to make herself no longer think of those things.

So much so that in the end, she seemed to have abandoned the emotions that people should have, and she didn't come out of the shadows until she died.

In the end, she died in the mission, and the second successor of the mission was her only friend Guangyou.

"Human, after all, you have to look forward, or else let alone advance, it would be good if you don't retreat."

With a faint smile on her face, Mingmei got up and clapped her hands, saying, "The table is set up, let's start placing the puppets now."

"it is good."

Guangyou also got up and picked up a doll to help Mingmei put it up, and said, "It should be finished before Xiao Ai comes, and then I'll take a bath."

On the top floor are the two inner-wrapped dolls, the so-called emperors and empresses. According to the rule in Tokyo, the male is on the right and the female is on the left.

Next on the second floor are three palace maids. Of course, these three dolls are not as simple as ordinary waiters. Each of these three characters can compose poems and play various musical instruments. A shining star.

The third floor is the five-person za (za), whose main function is to play music, and its identity should not be underestimated.

The fourth floor is the left minister and the right minister, the elder is the left, the young is the right, both of them carry knives and bows and arrows.

The fifth layer is the servants, named "Shanghu", who are Weeping Shanghu, Laughing Shanghu and Angry Shanghu.

The dolls are finished at the fifth floor, and the remaining two floors are props, each of which has its own meaning, such as hoping that the girl will be free from illness, health and happiness in the future.

Of course, this knowledge was popularized by Mingmei to him when he put it on. Guangyou himself didn't understand what it meant and how to put it on.

With Mingmei's help, Guangyou also quickly placed these dolls in their proper positions.

To be honest, these things really don't fit his aesthetics, and the pale-skinned dolls look a little scary to him.

If it wasn't for Xiao Ai, Guangyou wouldn't be bothered to display these things.

"Well, it looks good."

Mingmei got up and clapped her hands, looked at the finished products, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this is the first time Shiho celebrates Doll's Day, and she has never even touched a doll before."

"I hope she likes it."

Guangyou got up and exhaled, and said to Mingmei, "Sister Mingmei, I'm going to take a shower first, by the way, I remember I have my change of clothes here, right?"

Mingmei nodded, raised her eyebrows, and teased, "The suit you came last time is still there, and Zhibao specially prepared one or two sets of your clothes here before."

But the sudden ringing of the doorbell directly interrupted their plans.

"Ding dong~"
