Chapter 858 Americans can’t sit still anymore

Ten miles away, the green crosses of Yushan Mountain are green, and the hawthorn flower liquor tells the story of Beijing. "Zhong" is a folk song that was circulated in the 1950s. Changshu's fine osmanthus wine is indeed famous throughout the country. Otherwise, there is even a line in the Chairman's poem about Wu Wang holding out osmanthus wine. Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying with a smile.

The two people were busy outside the church for a while. After listening to the midnight bell, they entered a private restaurant. Fill up the already empty stomach.

This restaurant is an authentic Suzhou cuisine, so osmanthus wine is indispensable. The weather here is relatively cold, so I want to eat some hot osmanthus, eat side dishes, drink soft osmanthus wine, and feel the The warmth that comes from my heart is indeed very comfortable.

Shen Ying smiled and picked up food for Fan Wubing, while telling him some weird things she had encountered during previous Christmases, and then suddenly stopped.

"Why don't you say anything? I'm listening with great interest." Fan Wubing asked curiously.

Shen Ying's expression suddenly became a little strange and playful. She looked at Fan Wubing and said after a long time, "Did you know that Christmas Eve has another name in the West?"

"Christmas Eve, the Night of Losing Virginity, this is not news." Of course Fan Wubing knew what was going on, but he asked Shen Ying in turn, "So, do you know why Christmas Eve is called the Night of Losing Virginity? "

Shen Ying tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "About this time of year, every time around this time, many young men and women in Europe and the United States come together to church to participate in celebrations. It is said that when they go back, they often sit in the car Something happens in bed or in bed, so that's it. According to a survey of tens of thousands of middle school girls in Europe, more than half of the girls' first male-female relationship happened on Christmas Eve, so that's it. , Westerners also call Christmas Eve the Night of Losing Virginity.”

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

Shen Ying felt a little strange. There seemed to be no reason for him to say it wrong? So she asked Fan Wubing the reason for this, but unfortunately Fan Wubing just smiled and didn't answer, looking mysterious, which made her feel very annoyed.

In the end, Fan Wubing couldn't withstand Shen Ying's insistence, so he had to reply, "Well, this truth is too obscene and I can't tell it, so I'll paint it on the dining table with wine for you and let you understand it yourself. "

Shen Ying thought to herself that there was nothing wrong with this, but what could be so obscene about it? The answer that even a shameless fan like Fan Wubing found a bit obscene made her very curious.

So under Shen Ying's gaze.

Fan Wubing dipped his chopsticks in wine and wrote the word "peace" on the white tablecloth.

"This is no different," Qi Ying said inexplicably.

"Then take a look again." Fan Wubing said meaningfully, "Let's play a word splitting game. Then when we combine them, the effect will be completely different."

Shen Ying took a closer look and found that Fan Wubing had split the character "平" into "干" and "八" and the character "安" into "女" and "". Then he said to Shen Ying seriously, "Try to separate the character "二" , four combinations, and then read them in order, and you will know what is going on. "

"Qian Shen Ying fell silent after reciting a word. She was probably knocked unconscious. She pinched Fan Wubing's ear and said in a dumbfounded voice. "How could this happen? "

Fan Wubing laughed and said, "As the saying goes, nothing is difficult in the world. As long as a person is willing to think about it, an iron rod can turn into a needle."

"What are you talking about? They're all crooked limericks that don't make sense." Shen Ying felt that she was being teased by Fan Wubing. Unfortunately, what Fan Wubing put out was well-founded and did not allow her to refute. I suddenly felt that this guy Fan Wubing was too insidious and vulgar.

However, the expression of the waiter who came to serve the food was a little strange. Although she did not see the words written by Fan Wubing, the voice of the Internet talent Shen Ying seemed to be a little louder, and the sound of the words was very touching. shocking. After all, it is probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience to hear a woman who looks so eye-catching swear.

"Haha, eat, eat." Fan Wubing pointed to the food on the table and said to Shen Ying, "This is the most famous Suzhou side dish. It would be a pity not to eat it. When we get back home later, we will be eating slowly It’s not too late to study the deep meaning of peace.”

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

Fan Wubing naturally wouldn't take Shen Ying's words seriously. If she could beat him in this aspect, it would be the sun rising from the west. He didn't say anything more at the moment and just let Shen Ying eat.

Among them, there is a dish called Xiangyou Jibao which is very delicious. This refers to the fact that after cooking, the alligator paste is brought to the table, and the hot oil is still making a sound on the plate, hence the name.

In the water towns south of the Yangtze River, yellow crocodiles are found all over rivers, beaches and even in fields and ditches.

There are many Suzhou-style dishes using yellow crocodile as raw materials. The most popular ones include spiny cricket tubes, raw stir-fried pork slices, fried silkworms, etc.

According to the waiter. This involves soaking live crocodiles in boiling water, cutting out crocodile shreds, and heating cooked lard in a wok until it is 70% hot. Add chopped green onions, then add shredded shoes and stir-fry thoroughly. After adding Shaoxing wine for a while, add the stock and cook for about two minutes. Add refined salt, soy sauce and sugar. Cover the pot and cook for ten minutes. After it thickens, use wet starch to thin it out. When taking it out of the pan and serving it on a plate, make a four-slot in the alligator paste, add chopped green onion, and make a triangular rim with shredded ginger and minced garlic ham.

At the same time, heat a spoonful of sesame oil in another pot until it is 80% hot. Quickly scoop out four bowls of watered crocodile paste and put it on the table immediately. Pounce on Hu and grab the powder to get it.

This dish requires tacit cooperation between the chef and the waiter. Otherwise, there will be no sound when the oil temperature drops, which will disappoint the guests and test the hotel's skills.

Shen Ying was happier today and inevitably drank a little too much. She didn't feel anything at the dinner table. When she stood up after dinner, she felt a little dizzy and leaned on Fan Wubing's body. He snorted.

"Khan, why are you so drunk? Didn't you still drink two glasses before?" Fan Wubing felt a little surprised, but he also felt a little drunk, but he didn't expect this soft osmanthus wine. He was still energetic after all. Quite adequate.

At this moment, Fan Wubing didn't dare to drive anymore. After carrying Shen Ying into the car, he called his bodyguard. Then the two of them sat in the back seat, leaning against each other. Only when his bodyguards came over did he let them drive back to the company headquarters and his top-floor room.

at this time. Shen Ying was almost asleep.

Naturally, Fan Wubing couldn't do anything to Shen Ying at this time. This is none other than my wife.

So he went to bed early, but when he was drowsy, he heard his cell phone ringing again. He was feeling surprised in his heart. Did it ring?

He turned on the light on the bed and looked at it, and found that his spare cell phone was ringing. When this cell phone rang, it usually meant that something big had happened, so he quickly walked to the living room and answered the phone.

"Mr. Fan, there is something new about this. The person who called me at that time was from the United States.

Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment. Xin said that his small investment in Nasdaq, except for some stocks with strategic significance, has basically been sold off. There shouldn't be any problems at this time, right? When he was feeling depressed, the people over there started telling him the situation.

It turns out that just on the Internet, the U.S. Government Accountability Office issued a warning about China’s control of the supply of rare earth materials.

The GAO said. China processes nearly 97 percent of the world's supply of rare earth materials, and although the United States has rare earth deposits, they are unlikely to enter production within a decade. In addition, the United States has lost essential rare earth materials refining capacity and rebuilding supply chains could take up to fifteen years.

Art Tools Accountability Bureau said. China’s dominance of the rare earth market gives it market control that could affect global supply and prices of rare earths.

It is generally known that rare earth materials have special electromagnetic properties. Many defense systems in the military require the use of rare earth materials, including missiles, satellites and radar systems. Commercial applications include hybrid electric motors and batteries, wind turbines, computer hard drives, mobile phones, cameras, energy-saving light bulbs and optical fibers, all of which require the use of rare earth materials.

Americans said. Since China's rare earth production is now mainly controlled by two large rare earth import and export companies, forming a monopoly, at least in the next few years, the supply of rare earth materials will be mainly controlled by Chinese suppliers, and prices will rise again and again.

U.S. government officials and industry managers believe that China is not only planning to raise the export tax on rare earth materials to more than 20%, but will also use production quotas to limit supply and reduce exports.

Although the American company Chevron owns rich rare earth deposits in the Pais Mountain mine in California. However, the mine lacks the manufacturing assets to process rare earth ores into finished products. In addition, Americans also lack heavy rare earth elements necessary for many industrial and military hardware, and other rare earth deposits are located elsewhere in various locations. However, the biggest headache for Americans is that because domestic minerals have been closed off for many years and they only rely on imported rare earth minerals from China, the relevant domestic industrial chain in the United States has been broken. It may take nearly ten years just to put into production. To recover.

All in all, faced with China's de facto ability to control rare earth exports, the Americans finally couldn't sit still.
