Reborn in the 70s as a military doctor and meets a special soldier
Chapter 637 Simple folk customs
Originally, Lu Jiu was planning to go out to buy sauce, but instead of the sauce, he saw dried shrimps. It was time to say goodbye to the market, and for a moment he didn’t know where to go.
Song Wei couldn't help but laugh: "By the way, I remember there is an oyster sauce village nearby, do you want to go and have a look?"
?
Lu Jiu said he didn't know.
When did Song Wei know that there was an oyster sauce village nearby? He didn't even know...
Song Wei stiffened slightly and secretly sighed that it was a close call.
Oyster Sauce Village was still an ordinary village at that time. Because of the generation-based oyster sauce making, after the reform and opening up, the entire village built a factory and started production, and it quickly became a household name in the oyster sauce brand.
As living standards improved, people in the Oyster Sauce Village moved into big houses, so the original site of the Oyster Sauce Village became an Oyster Sauce Museum, attracting tourists to visit.
However, at this time, it was still just an ordinary village that was unknown to the public, and outsiders had no idea that there was such a treasure village.
Song Wei came here for a meeting in her later life and organized a tour. She knew Lu Jiu wanted to buy soy sauce so she told him about it. She didn't expect that the Oyster Sauce Village at this time was not the same Oyster Sauce Village as before.
But since she had already said it, it would be too much to take it back. Song Wei could only smile vaguely and said, "I heard it from the young soldiers these past two days."
Thinking of the way Song Wei and the young soldiers chatted while seeing patients, Lu Jiu had no doubts.
After all, she is a good friend of Shuangni, and Awei herself has a gossipy nature. Not to mention finding out that there is a soy sauce village nearby, there is nothing that can be hidden from her as long as she wants to know.
Lu Jiu drove according to Song Wei's instructions without saying a word.
Soon, the two came to a small village.
This village is on the seaside. There are no tall houses. Most of them are about one or two stories high and look similar. Every household dries salted fish and there are big vats in the yard. The sea breeze brings not only the fishy smell but also a strange odor.
Strictly speaking, it smells a bit like foot odor.
Song Wei rubbed her nose and looked at Lu Jiu with amusement.
"How is it, Chef Lu, I smell the flavor you want."
Lu Jiu glanced at her with amusement and took the lead to walk towards the village.
There were few outsiders coming to the village, so the appearance of these two people was undoubtedly strange.
And it just so happened that today was the market day and most of the villagers were out.
It's not that buying and selling are free, it's just that when going to market, everyone will carry all the crops to the supply and marketing cooperatives. After the supply and marketing cooperatives buy them, there will always be some that are not bought, and everyone will exchange them with each other. In this way, it can't be regarded as buying and selling, at most it is a barter.
This place is far from the imperial city, and most of the people along the coast do business, so they don't take speculation that seriously.
After all, we all have to make a living, so it’s okay as long as we don’t overdo it on the surface.
Otherwise, why would they choose to open this side first?
Of course, all this is going too far. Most of the people left in the village at this time are elderly people.
The old people became even more enthusiastic when they saw the soldiers. Although they didn't speak the same language, they all smiled and took out their pockets.
Having witnessed the shrimp attack at the market, Song Wei quickly took the initiative. As soon as someone reached into her pocket, she would pull out a handful of shrimps faster than that person.
Then, regardless of whether others agree or not, give it first as a sign of respect.
The old people originally wanted to feed the two young people, but ended up being fed by the young people instead.
Looking at the shrimps in their hands, everyone was stunned at first and then smiled embarrassedly.
In the end, the two sides achieved effective communication by using gestures to communicate with each other.
What Lu Jiu was looking for was soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc.
What is stored in the earthenware jar here is oyster sauce.
Speaking of its raw materials, it is mainly oysters. Boil water and oysters together and add some specific things to make oyster sauce.
The old folks had not expected that their military comrades would be looking for these things. To them, these things were worth even less than shrimps.
It’s just like dried radish, every family knows how to pickle it, but who would spend money to buy it?
Who would have thought that someone would actually buy it! And it was a lovely military comrade.
Without saying a word, the old man put the big jar in his home into their car.
The whole thing he said was, no money needed, I'll give you as much as you want.
For them, asking for their firewood may make you hesitate for a while, after all, it is not easy to find firewood in the mountains when living by the sea. But what they want is oyster sauce, which can be caught several times a day even if you don’t go out to sea, not to mention that they go out to sea.
Although all the oysters caught are purchased by the supply and marketing cooperatives, the cooperatives collect very few oysters because they are heavy and difficult to handle.
Most of the time they just throw them back into the sea, and only make oyster sauce when they have nothing to do.
But oyster sauce cannot be eaten as a meal. Every household has a tank filled with it, but not much is consumed throughout the year, and most of it ends up going bad.
It was rare to find someone who appreciated the art at that time, so everyone quickly took out everything that was gathering dust at home.
Song Wei and the other two were flattered, but of course they couldn't take it for free.
The old men, however, were glaring and demanding that they accept the payment.
"How could there be such a peaceful day today? I'm going to press oyster sauce, and I'm going to press shit."
Everyone was talking in a jumbled manner, but Song Wei and Lu Jiu looked confused and could not understand anything.
Just at this moment, several little boys came back from the sea naked, holding fish in their hands.
They returned to the village laughing and joking, and when they saw their military comrades, they were immediately filled with envy and admiration, and kindly translated for them.
"Uncle Long said that without you, we wouldn't have the life we have today. Let alone eating oyster sauce, we wouldn't even have the chance to eat shit."
"Hahaha……"
The little kids were laughing so hard that they fell backwards, and the old man in the village shook his head with a look of doting on his face.
"Go play in the water again, be careful or your mom will come to hit you."
"Long Boqianqi told my mother that at most I could persuade her to buy some oyster sauce."
"I looked at it like this."
The two sides were talking in a cacophony, and Song Wei felt her head buzzing. She finally understood why Mandarin was being promoted across the country. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to decipher as if each village was separated by a mountain.
Song Wei was just shaking her head helplessly when those little brats came running over.
"Soldier uncle, soldier aunt, our Uncle Long said that these oyster sauces are for you, please don't be polite, a lot of them at home are moldy and rotten and finally thrown away, really not worth anything."
"Yes, please take it away. Consider it as getting rid of harm to the people."
"If you don't take them with you, they'll tell our parents about us spearing fish, and then we'll get spanked badly."
"Please have mercy on us and help us."
Looking at the old man's simple smile and the children's innocent pleading, Song Wei and Lu Jiu looked at each other and could only agree shamelessly.
"Then wait for us here for a while, we will be back in half an hour."
The child was delighted when he heard it: "Okay!"
