The Little Girl Who Found Treasures in the 1970S

(The text is frequently revised. The latest version is only on Jinjiang.) Spring, 1970. When Jiang Xiaoyu was born, she didn't cry. The midwife gave her several good pats before she finally yawned, unhurried. Her little face was all scrunched up, and she looked both sleepy and sweet. The midwife teased, “Well, well, could this little one be a lazybones?” Granny Zhou smiled weakly from the bed. “A little laziness is good. Makes her easier to raise.” No one knew that, at that very moment, a System was starting up frantically inside the baby girl's mind. [Beep!] [Cultural Relic Guardian System activating...] [Checking Host's vital signs... Normal.] [Host compatibility: 99.99%... Wait a second!] Wait a second, she's fifty centimeters tall and weighs just over six pounds? The System fell silent as it stared at the scan results. Who could have guessed that its Host, blessed with an extraordinary aura of good fortune, was just a newborn baby? System: [...] Fine, then. I'll wait until she grows up. But the System soon discovered that this little one had an absurd talent of her own. Not only did antiques gravitate toward her, she could also hear old objects talking? 【A Day in the Life of a Little Host】 System: “Host, a Qing dynasty porcelain piece has been detected nearby.” Jiang Xiaoyu: “A Qing... what? Where is it?” System: “The yellow one... the one your third brother is looking at.” Jiang Xiaoyu: “Oh! Third Brother, that bowl is pretty!” The chipped porcelain bowl grumbled: “Of course it's pretty! The Kangxi Emperor himself used me. I'm yours for two boxes of matches!” 【At the Auction】 At the 1985 autumn auction in Hong Kong, bidding for the highlight lot, a plain Ming-style desk with raised ends, reached five hundred thousand. Jiang Xiaoyu raised her hand from the back row. “Five hundred.” The entire room erupted. Jiang Xiaoyu: “That five hundred is for one of its legs. The tabletop is elm veneer. Which workshop cut corners on this?” The experts in the room went pale, and the wealthy bidder who had offered five hundred thousand turned green. Jiang Xiaoyu smiled at him. “No need to thank me. You nearly bought yourself a lump of elm.” 【Finding Treasures at the Ghost Market】 Panjiayuan, 1990. Jiang Xiaoyu squatted in front of a stall, staring at a dingy little broken bowl. Stall owner: “Genuine Yongzheng famille-rose porcelain. Eight hundred.” The little bowl snorted: “What a load of rubbish! I'm a Chenghua doucai chicken cup. I once held wine for the emperor.” Jiang Xiaoyu: “Five.” The stall owner dropped his cigarette. “...Five?” Jiang Xiaoyu stood up to leave. The stall owner gritted his teeth. “Deal!” Six months later, the auctioneer at Sotheby's brought the hammer down at eighteen million Hong Kong dollars. The stall owner was so furious he overturned his stall. 【Reading Guide】 1. A feel-good treasure-hunting novel with face-slapping moments, featuring the whole family doting on little Xiaoyu. 2.
