Ma Weidou: I went to the countryside to collect antiques. Why did the old lady care about feeding the chickens and ignore me?

Ma Weidou's collection experience, like our personal struggle history, has gone through a rather tortuous process, far exceeding our imagination. Ma Weidou's initial collection experience is far from poetic as we thought, but more full of bitterness. Ma Weidou said, "I" went to the countryside to collect antiques, and the old lady ignored me for feeding chickens, so I could buy one for 16 yuan. It is conceivable that Ma Weidou's road to collection in the countryside can be described as fruitful! Why did Ma Weidou look to the countryside? What did he gain from it?

Ma Weidou's experience of collecting in the countryside is mixed. In his early years, he obtained all kinds of cultural relics information through the introduction of cultural relics, thus passively collecting antiques in the countryside. As a result, he lost his wife and lost his soldiers. One of Ma Weidou's most famous jokes is that he followed a friend who was engaged in cultural relics collection and hitched more than 2 yuan for a taxi, hoping to find out the imaginary huanghuali long case. As a result, I didn't see the long table of huanghuali hundreds of kilometers back and forth, but I saw a long table of firewood. Don't mention how depressed Ma Weidou's heart is, you can imagine how unreliable it is to go through the middleman to find out.

Therefore, Ma Weidou later developed a mind-set, doing everything by himself. He can get valuable cultural relics through his own efforts without going through intermediaries. Therefore, Ma Weidou is more through their own to pick up priceless cultural relics. At the beginning, when cultural relics were worthless, Ma Weidou helped an old professor who came from the Republic of China to move briquettes, and he could get an antique that looks priceless today. Have to say, Ma Weidou's collection, at first, basically through this kind of empty-handed means.

Later, with the renewal of Liulichang, it became unrealistic to get valuable collections from city people after Panjiayuan sprang up. In Ma Weidou's view, if you can get the real thing at a price of 5 yuan, you will never use 6 yuan. For him, the cost of one more piece means that it is unrealistic. Therefore, Ma Weidou had to look to the countryside. A countryman has never seen the world, and perhaps all the porcelain used as a dog food basin may be antique. Second, in the 198s, 8 or 9 yuan was a huge sum for rural people. Based on the above two considerations, Ma Weidou's collection in the countryside has gone very smoothly.

how smooth is it? According to Ma Weidou, "I" went to the countryside to collect antiques, and the old lady ignored me while feeding the chickens. I could buy one for 16 yuan. Yes, you didn't get it wrong. Ma Weidou went to the countryside to collect antiques, but the old lady really ignored him by feeding the chickens, and then Ma Weidou took it away when she saw it right. Of course, I didn't take it for nothing, but I still gave some symbolically. Ma Weidou said that he could get a valuable antique at little cost. At that time, 16 yuan was definitely not a small sum. Ma Weidou, a small editor, didn't have much money, but the problem was that Ma Weidou had a good way of making money. Maybe 16 yuan was a problem for others, but it was really not a problem for him.

Ma Weidou's early collection experience generally has three ways: stall, wenwan store and collecting antiques in the countryside. Among them, the mistakes in stalls and wenwan shops are more full of variables, and the value seems to be relatively large for human operation. Collecting antiques in the countryside is different, and it is often possible to find a leak. Therefore, Ma Weidou's collection experience in the countryside really got a lot of good things. There are quite a few people like the old lady in the countryside, which happened to be met by Ma Weidou again. Therefore, throughout the 198s, the collection experience of buying an antique for 16 yuan was constantly repeated by Ma Weidou. Today, Ma Weidou still misses the passionate 198s.
