"Ten miles of Yu mountains are green and green. Osmanthus liquor entered Beijing, which is a folk song that has been circulating in society since the fifties. Changshu fine osmanthus wine, indeed famous in the country, otherwise even the chairman of the poem has a sentence Wu Gang out of osmanthus wine. Fan Wuxian said to Shen Ying with a smile.

The two of them were lively outside the church for a while, and after listening to the midnight bell, they entered a private restaurant to fill in their already empty stomachs.

This restaurant is the authentic flavor of Suzhou cuisine, so osmanthus wine is indispensable, the weather is relatively cold for a while, eat some hot wontons, on the side dishes, drink soft osmanthus wine, feel the smoke from the bottom of the heart, it is really very comfortable.

Shen Ying smiled and served Fan Wuxian vegetables, and at the same time told him some strange things that he had encountered in the past Christmas, and suddenly stopped.

"Why don't you say it, I'm listening to it with relish—" Fan asked with some curiosity.

Shen Ying's expression suddenly became a little strange, a little playful, looking at Fan Wuxi, and said after a long time, "Do you know." Is there another alias for Christmas Eve in the West? ”

"Christmas Eve, Virginity Eve, it's not news." Of course, Fan Wuxian knew what was going on, but he asked Shen Ying in turn, "So, do you know why Christmas Eve is called Virginity Eve?" ”

Shen Ying tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "It's probably this year, at this time, there will always be many young men and women in Europe and the United States who come together to participate in the celebration in the church. According to the questionnaire survey data of tens of thousands of middle school girls in a European social research agency, more than half of the girls' first male and female dating experience occurred on Christmas Eve, so Westerners also call Christmas Eve the night of loss of virginity. ”

Fan Wuxian smiled and shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Shen Ying's statement.

Shen Ying felt a little strange, it seemed that there was no reason for her to say something wrong? So she asked Fan Wuxian the root cause of this, but unfortunately Fan Wuxian just smiled and didn't answer, looking mysterious, which made her feel very annoyed.

In the end, Fan Wuxian couldn't resist Shen Ying's soft grinding and hard foaming, so he had to reply, "That, this truth is too obscene, I can't tell it, I'll paint it on the table with wine for you, so that you can understand it yourself." ”

Shen Ying thought to herself that there was nothing wrong with this. But what's so obscene? The answer that made Fan Wuxi's cheekiness feel a little obscene made her very curious.

So under Shen Ying's gaze, Fan Wuxi dipped his chopsticks in wine and wrote the word "peace" on the snow-white tablecloth.

"It's no different, isn't it?" Shen Ying asked inexplicably.

"Then you can take another look." Fan Wuxian said meaningfully, "Let's play a word splitting game, and then put it together, the effect is completely different." ”

Shen Ying paid attention to it, and found that Fan Wuxian had split the flat characters into "gan" and "eight", and the "an" characters into "female" and "宀", and then said to Shen Ying seriously, "You try to combine the two and four, and then read them out in order, and you will know what is going on." ”

"Dry-" Shen Ying was silent after reading a word, probably she was also stunned, and pinched Fan Wuxi's ear with tears and laughter, "How can this be?" ”

Fan Wuxian laughed and said, "As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that there are people with hearts, as long as you are willing to ponder, the iron pestle will also become a needle." ”

"What's the matter, it's all crooked limericks that don't make sense of literature and reason-" Shen Ying felt that she was teased by Fan Wuxi, but it was a pity that what Fan Wuxian put out was justified. She was not allowed to refute, and for a while, she felt that Fan Wuxian was too insidious and obscene.

However, the expression of the waiter who came over to serve the food next to her was a little weird, although she didn't see the words written by Fan Wuxi, but Shen Ying's voice seemed to be a little louder just now, and the dry words were very shocking, after all, listening to a woman who looked so eye-catching was probably **rare.

"Haha, eat, eat—" Fan Wuxi pointed to the dishes on the table and said to Shen Ying, "This is the most famous Suzhou side dish, it's a pity not to eat it." When we return home later, it's not too late for us to slowly study the profound meaning of this peace. ”

"Whoever studies this with you, you go to sleep by yourself tonight!" Shen Ying immediately retaliated.

Fan Wuxian naturally won't take Shen Ying's words seriously, if she can beat herself in this regard, then it can be regarded as the sun coming out of the west, and she won't say much at the moment, just let Shen Ying eat vegetables.

Among them, there is a dish of eel paste that is very delicious, which means that the cooked eel paste is served on the table, and the hot oil is still making a sound on the plate, hence the name.

In the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, yellow eels are all over the river beaches and even the fields and ditches. There are a lot of yellow eel as raw materials in the dishes of Suzhou flavor, and the popular ones are prickly eel tubes, fried eel slices, fried eel silk, etc., and the famous eel paste is on the oil.

According to the waiter, this is a live eel after being scalded in boiling water, the eel silk is scratched, the cooked lard in the wok is burned until it is hot, the green onion is put into the stir-fry, and then the eel is fried thoroughly. After the wine is simmered slightly, add the broth and burn for about two minutes, put refined salt, soy sauce and sugar, cover the pot and burn for ten minutes, thicken it with wet starch, and set a groove in the eel paste when it is put out of the pot and put it on the plate, put in the chopped green onion, and make the ginger, garlic paste and ham not made into triangular trims.

At the same time, heat a spoonful of sesame oil in another pot, and when it is hot, quickly scoop out the grooves of watering eel paste, and immediately serve it to the table and pour pepper.

This dish requires the tacit understanding between the chef and the waiter, otherwise, as soon as the oil temperature drops, the sound will not be heard, which will disappoint the guests and test the skills of the restaurant.

Shen Ying was happier today, she inevitably drank a little more, and she didn't feel anything at the dinner table, and when she stood up after dinner, she felt a little spinning, and leaned on Fan Wuxi's body on one side, and snorted.

"Khan, why are you so overwhelmed, didn't you drink two glasses before?" Fan Wuxi felt a little surprised. However, I also felt a little drunk, but I didn't expect this soft osmanthus wine to be quite strong.

After carrying Shen Ying into the car, he called his bodyguard, and then both of them sat in the back seats, leaning diagonally, until their bodyguards came over, and then let them drive back to the company's headquarters, in their top room.

This time. Shen Ying was basically about to fall asleep.

Fan Wuxian naturally couldn't do anything to Shen Ying at this time, this was none other than his wife.

So he went to bed early, but when he was dazed, he heard his mobile phone ring again, and he was feeling surprised in his heart, his heart had just turned off the mobile phone, why did it ring again at this time?

turned on the bedside lamp and looked at it, and found that it was his spare mobile phone ringing, and when this mobile phone rang, it usually means that something big has happened, so he quickly walked to the living room and picked up the phone.

"Mr. Fan, it's a bit new." At this time, it was the United States that called.

Fan Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that his investment in the NASDAQ, except for some strategic stocks, was basically sold off, and there should be no problems at this time, right? When he was depressed, the people over there began to tell him about the situation.

It turned out that just now, the U.S. Government Accountability Office issued a warning about China's control over the supply of rare earth materials.

China processes rare earth materials, which account for nearly 97 percent of the world's total supply, and although the United States has rare earth deposits, it is unlikely to be in production within a decade, according to the U.S. Accountability Office. In addition, the U.S. has lost essential rare earth material refining capacity, and it could take up to fifteen years to rebuild the supply chain.

The U.S. Accountability Office said China's dominance in the rare earths market gives it market control that could affect global rare earth supply and prices.

It is well known that rare earth materials have special electromagnetic properties. Rare earth materials are used in many defense systems in the military, including missiles, satellites, and radar systems, and in commercial applications, including hybrid electric engines and batteries, wind turbines, computer hard drives, cell phones, cameras, energy-efficient light bulbs, and optical fibers.

The Americans say that because China's rare earth production is now dominated by two large rare earth import and export companies, forming a monopoly, the supply of rare earth materials will be mainly controlled by Chinese suppliers for at least the next few years. And the price has risen again and again. U.S. government officials and industry executives believe that China is not only planning to raise export taxes on rare earth materials to more than 20 percent, but will also use production quotas to limit supply and reduce exports.

Molycorp Minerals, a subsidiary of American Chevron Corp. However, the mine lacks the manufacturing assets to process rare earth ore into finished products. In addition, the Americans also lack a lot of heavy rare earth elements necessary for industry and military hardware, as for other rare earth deposits are located in other places, the division is different, but the biggest headache for the Americans is that because the domestic minerals have been closed for many years, only relying on the import of rare earth minerals from China, so now the relevant industrial chain in the United States has been broken, and it may take nearly ten years to recover just from production.

All in all, the Americans can't sit still in the face of China's de facto ability to control rare earth exports.
