Ah Lan didn't seem to be interested in answering, only sipping coffee, and Teacher Ma didn't seem to have any intention of asking her to pick up, so he said directly: "260,000! That's still a friend's price, and it's 30 less for others to talk about!" He spoke happily, and the pair of walnuts in his hand were also crumpled loudly.

When I used to be in the Sanlitun Buddha brand shop, there was a neighbor old man who also liked to play walnuts, and told me that the plate in the hand is called "Wenpan", and the loud is called "Wupan", usually only when the mood is particularly good will be changed from Wenpan to Wupan, it seems that now this Ma teacher is.

"So you're an old furniture dealer," said Alan, disappointed and lonely, "I thought you were an artist who specializes in appreciating classical European furniture." ”

Teacher Ma asked, "What, kick him to death, who are you going to kick to death?" Alan reluctantly explained that artist means artist. Teacher Ma said yes, that's right, I'm definitely an expert in this area! Do you know what the origin of the sofa I just talked about, and who used it before? It was brought back from a trip to France by the owner of the old mansion before liberation. That brand used to make custom furniture for Napoleon! And they—"

Ah Lan couldn't help but interrupt: "I don't have any interest in what you said, can we change the topic?"

"Oh, that's okay," Mr. Ma said with some embarrassment, putting the walnuts in his hand on the table, "Then let's talk about this pair of walnuts, you girls only know that walnuts can be eaten, don't you know that they can also be plated?" He ignored Ah Lan's impatient expression and continued, "Ordinary walnuts are amber when played, but this pair is bright red, I know why? This is a walnut that flows from the palace, and the eunuch plays with walnuts!" Men and women have different sweat compositions, and eunuchs have been castrated, and their sweat composition is between men and women, so they can produce this color!"

Ah Lan looked at the watch on his wrist: "Sorry, I'm not interested in walnuts." Teacher Ma said then change it, let's talk about the old iron kettle, Ah Lan shook his head, and Teacher Ma said a few more things, what mouth plugs, wrenches, old German clocks, and Mao Zhang. Ah Lan didn't answer, and Teacher Ma seemed to see that she was not interested in these antique things, so she said that let's talk about the topic and the emotional aspect.

"That's fine," Alain asked, "I want to know, what is your understanding of love?"

Teacher Ma thought for a while: "Love is marriage, and the two of them must be able to live together, eat together, play together, chat together, and sleep together." Ah Lan's face was a little red, saying that there was a common topic, and Mr. Ma nodded again and again, saying that cultural people are different.

Ah Lan said: "Then do you believe that there is platonic love?" Mr. Ma was a little stunned, saying who Plato was, and Ah Lan said that he was a great philosopher in Europe, who advocated spiritual love, and said that it was the noblest emotion of human beings. Teacher Ma said that he didn't understand, and Ah Lan explained that love doesn't have to be married, or not necessarily in contact, two people can just meet and talk.

Teacher Ma said: "Yes, yes, yes, when I first started falling in love, there were a few people who came up and touched people, right?" Ah Lan was embarrassed and looked left and right, for fear of being heard. She whispered, "I mean forever, for the rest of my life." Teacher Ma was suddenly petrified, and said that in this life, you are not allowed to touch or sleep together, and you are not allowed to sleep together? Teacher Ma smiled and said Isn't that a neurosis, what kind of marriage is it?

Alan said, "Hmm...... So, do you think people can have two lovers?"

"Man or woman?" asked Teacher Ma. Alan thought for a moment and said woman. Teacher Ma said that men are wrong, and women are also wrong to raise men, and it is not okay. "I mean, a woman has a physical husband and a spiritual husband. Teacher Ma expressed puzzlement, Ah Lan said For example, I am married to you and live together, but we can't touch each other, it is spiritual love, and I have another man who can be fully integrated, it is physical love, can you accept it.

Teacher Ma looked at her: "You mean, if you marry me, you live in my house, spend my money, drive my car, but don't sleep with me, and then you find someone who can talk more and sleep with him, and it doesn't cost him money." No, he'll probably have to spend my money, won't he?"

Alan smiled and said you can't understand it that way. Teacher Ma slapped the table: "What's the matter? I hate this kind of woman the most, using my husband's money to support the second master? If I meet him, I have to kill him, don't tell me you really think so?" Many people in the coffee shop were startled and looked over. Ah Lan hurriedly whispered It's just an analogy, of course I'm not this kind of person, aren't you chatting, don't be excited. Mr. Ma shrank his head and said that he was really embarrassed, but I was too excited.

After a few minutes of silence, Ah Lan sat up straight again, "You just mentioned that you often go to the old houses in Shanghai to collect furniture, do you also like the old houses in Shanghai?

Ah Lan was a little frustrated: "Then do you know opera, which act do you like the most?"

Teacher Ma said: "I know Peking Opera and love to listen to "Wujiapo". "Alan said I was referring to opera, Italian opera, like "The Princess Sleeps All Night" and "Carmen". Teacher Ma said, said that the thing and I don't understand it, it's a long story, it's sleepless all night, it's a disease, it has to be treated, as for Carmen, he doesn't understand, he knows that there is a South Carmen Road, is it related to this. Alan exhaled and asked again, "Then do you like Baroque?"

Mr. Ma replied, "The masked man in Street Fighter, right? We all call him scratching!" Alan said I was referring to the European architectural style, which is very gorgeous and beautiful. Mr. Ma said that he only accepts furniture, but not buildings, so he has no research on architecture.

Ah Lan asked, "Do you like Sanmao, Zhang Ailing and Yishu?"

Teacher Ma replied: "Do you also watch such old movies?" "Sanmao Wanderings", I watched it when I was a child, but I almost forgot it. ”

Alan seemed to want to give up, but then said, "Which cologne do you like?"

Teacher Ma laughed: "You finally talked about my expertise." Ah Lan looked interested, and Mr. Ma said: "Gu Long is a powerful character, I think he is stronger than Jin Yong, and his style is special! If you want to say your favorite, you have to say that "Little Dragon Flying Knife", no, it should be called "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword". ”

Ah Lan couldn't help but walk away anymore, and Teacher Ma asked, "You want to go to the toilet?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Ma, I'm going to work, I'll see you later. Ah Lan said and walked out. Teacher Ma hurriedly stood up and stopped, saying no, Mike told me that you have a rest this afternoon, so I just came, and I plan to invite you to eat skewers in the evening. Alan said that she had something to do when she first got up, and she had to go back to the company and talk about it later. Teacher Ma was very disappointed, and said that he should leave a phone call for each other, and took out his business card after speaking.
