The Apothecary Diaries Wiki

"Lead" is the 16th episode of the The Apothecary Diaries anime adaptation.

A shack, a chest of drawers, and a fishbowl are all that a talented metalworker leaves to his three sons upon his death. Maomao is assigned to investigate how these strange inheritances all fit together.

Translated blurb from official anime website...

"Everyone, you should have a tea ceremony like in the old days" - a mysterious will left by a goldsmith who was a supplier to the Imperial Palace and died without teaching his sons the secrets. Maomao, who was asked by Jinshi to investigate, visits their house. After discovering the mystery behind the workshop, the chest that won't open, the glass goldfish bowl, and the three keepsakes left by each of the three brothers, as well as the strange layout of the workshop, Maomao holds a "tea ceremony" with the brothers as instructed by the craftsman.[1]
