Chapter 1678: Chapter 1678 Work Arrangent 2
After placing their luggage, Xiaoyang and the young officer who welcod them ca over to take them on a tour of the area, mainly showing where they could enter, where they couldn’t go, where to buy things, where to eat regularly, and so on.
The military area, family quarters, and fishern’s zone were all distinctly separate, and Feng Qingxue rembered it all clearly.
During this ti, they learned the young officer’s na was Lin Tong. He held a significant rank as a battalion commander and a team leader on a patrol ship. Currently, he was responsible for patrol duties, temporarily pulled away to host them. Otherwise, they would have been received by the military dical departnt.
Along the way, Feng Qingxue noticed traces of army soldiers on the island as well.
“Comrade Xiaoyang, does the military have fish to eat every day?” Ming Lan asked enthusiastically as they left the canteen.
In the absence of at, fish was indeed a good thing. She noticed that Feng Qingxue particularly liked eating fish, savoring even the seaweed soup. Even when braised pork was served along the way, she hardly touched the at.
Xiaoyang coughed once, “Not quite.”
The doctors all raised their eyebrows simultaneously, but they could see fish every day!
The thick-browed, big-eyed Battalion Commander Lin Tong laughed and said, “The military has its own regulations. Different ranks get different als, typically served according to rank. You are all military doctors, and as military personnel, you should understand this. However, the hospital and military canteens belong to different departnts, so doctors and nurses can freely choose their als. If the canteen makes it, those with better conditions can eat at every al, while those with worse conditions might have soup every ti. Such situations aren’t unheard of. However, fish is more available than at, considering we’re surrounded by the sea on three sides.”
They were all smart people and nodded in understanding. It was just like how workers at a fish company got fish tickets every month, while places not near the sea or water might not even see fish during festivals.
Feng Qingxue asked, “Do we need tickets to buy fish at the grocery store?”
Lin Tong raised an eyebrow, “You’re staying in the hospital dorms, not in the residential area. Are you planning to cook?”
“Not really, I just wanted to browse around leisurely and buy so local specialties to send ho. There are fresh fish and shrimp, so there must be dried goods too. Our soldiers rarely see those,” thinking of her family far away.
Lin Tong responded with an “oh,” saying, “In the residential area, there’s a grocery store. at requires tickets, but fish doesn’t. Those with good conditions can eat fish every day and at every month. For those with poorer conditions, even if no tickets are needed, they might still hesitate to buy a fish. The dried goods you ntioned are indeed sold there, including various seaweeds, fish, and shrimp, with a range of prices.”
Feng Qingxue was delighted, although her family couldn’t enjoy fresh seafood, dried goods were still great—like seaweed, laver, dried shrimp, scallops, fish maw, abalone—packed with nutrition.
Ming Lan quickly said, “Dr. Feng, do call when you’re going.”
With elderly and young family mbers, acquiring so seafood for nutrition would be fantastic.
Feng Qingxue rembered Ming Lan ntioning that her children stayed with their grandparents and husband, and her ho couldn’t match the military’s conditions. She smiled and nodded, “Sure, I have a large family with elderly and children too, so I’ll need to buy plenty.”
Lin Tong couldn’t help but add, “But you’ll need to wait a while. Right now, the sea areas are under strict martial law, so mailing might be disrupted.”
Feng Qingxue quickly said, “Don’t worry, Commander Lin. We understand the importance and won’t break the rules. We ca all this way to support the dical work here, and we won’t put personal matters over official duties.”
Ming Lan and the others nodded in agreent.
