The nearest market is not very far from Ximao Village, if you walk, it will take you twenty minutes, because it is close to the sea, and at night, the atmosphere is very low, coupled with the gust of sea breeze, Li Junxi and the three of them have been shivering from the cold.

"Eun Zhen! Why do you have to let me come with you! Wouldn't it be nice to have Zhong Guoge as an attendant? ”

Along the way, Li Junxi kept complaining, among the family members, he was the most reluctant to go out to purchase, and every time he encountered this kind of thing, he could hide.

"Hey~~~~ Junxi! You're still endless, and I've heard you complaining along the way, can I call Zhongguo OPPA casually? ”

Shen Enzhen said as she walked around, looking for the shrimp paste they wanted to buy, like Lee Jun-hee, she was also frozen at this time, just thinking about selling it out quickly and leaving quickly.

was looking for it, and suddenly Liu Zaishi spoke: "Enzhen! Look there! ”

When Li Junxi and Shen Enzhen heard this, they both followed the direction of Liu Zaishi's finger and looked over, and in an instant, their eyes lit up, there was actually a small shop selling army soup there.

After seeing it, the eyes of the three people couldn't move, on such a cold day, if they could eat a pot of hot army soup, it would definitely be enjoyable.

"Eun Zhen! It's better for us to ~~~~~~" Li Junxi said, looking at Shen Enzhen, they came out this time, Shen Enzhen is the person in charge, if you want it, of course you have to get Shen Enzhen's approval.

"No way!" Shen Eunzhen said, forcing herself to look away, although she also wanted to eat, but the problem was that they came out this time to buy, and all the funds added up were only 25,000 won, and I don't know if there is enough to buy shrimp paste to pickle pickles, and if you go to eat army soup, it is estimated that there will not be much money left.

"Eun Zhen! Don't be so cruel! There's still plenty of time! Lee Jun-hee continued to beg.

Shen Enzhen continued to shake his head: "I said no, I just can't, there is plenty of time, but where did we get the money!" ”

When artists are recording shows, they rarely put money on them because they have to change their clothes frequently, of course, Lee Hyori is an exception.

Lee Jun-hee still doesn't give up: "25,000 won can do a lot of things!" ”

Shen Enzhen turned his head to look to the side, ignoring Li Junxi at all, and made up his mind that he would never compromise.

"Let's go! Let's go! If you continue to stand here, you will only be tempted, and don't forget what we are out for! ”

At this time, Liu Zaishi, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "In fact, ~~~~~~~"

Liu Zaishi said and opened his pocket and pulled out ~~~~~ from it

"I still have 20,000 won here!"

Li Junxi's eyes lit up when he saw it, what is a savior, at this time, Liu Zaishi's image in his eyes is simply greater than God, although he has never had any faith.

"In Brother Shi! Why don't you take out the money early! ”

Li Junxi said, reaching out to grab it, but unfortunately someone was faster than his hand.

"In stone OPPA! If you have money, you have to pay the work, this truth, OPPA doesn't understand! ”

Shen Enzhen shook the banknote in his hand, and then stuffed it directly into his pocket.

Li Junxi was dumbfounded when he saw it, and when he reacted, he didn't care about his self-esteem, so he directly grabbed Shen Enzhen's arm and begged: "Enzhen! Don't do that! We have 45,000 won now, so it's definitely enough to buy shrimp paste, so let's eat a little hot and warm up! ”

Liu Zaishi was even more undisciplined than Li Junxi, and knelt directly on the ground: "Enzhen! Be considerate of our feelings! On such a cold day, with so little on my body, I really can't bear it! ”

At this time, the weather in Seoul is still very warm, who would have thought that here in Ximao Village, it is so cold at night, everyone didn't bring thick clothes when they came, and now they have to come out to buy on a cold day, and they can't stand the cold.

Seeing this, Shen Enzhen couldn't continue to refuse, and besides, she also wanted to eat something hot, so she couldn't help but waver.

"Well~~~~~~~ so be it! Let's go buy shrimp paste first, buy enough to marinate a hundred cabbages, and if we have any money left, let's eat it together, how about it? ”

Li Junxi and Liu Zaishi glanced at each other, knowing that it could only be like this, so they hurriedly ran around to find it, because it was close to the sea, there were many stalls selling shrimp paste, and they were quickly found.

"What, pickling a hundred cabbages, asking for three barrels of shrimp paste, 39,000 won!"

After asking about the price, Lee Jun-hee and Yoo Jae-seok were directly dumbfounded, if they spent 39,000 won, there would only be 6,000 won left, and they would eat a fart!

"Boss! It's a little cheaper! We really don't have any money!" Li Junxi begged first, "Moreover, if you have a hundred cabbages, how can you use three buckets of shrimp paste!" I'll look at a bucket and it's almost there! ”

"Stupid!" Shen Enzhen very unceremoniously found Li Junxi's head and slapped him, "If you only use a bucket, where is the taste!" ”

Li Junxi hugged his head and looked pitiful: "Old people eating things that are too salty are not good for their health, at most two buckets!" ”

Lee Jun-hee said while still calculating in his heart that two buckets would be 26,000 won, and there would be 19,000 won left.

When Shen Enzhen heard it, he also felt that what Li Junxi said made a little sense, plus she didn't know how to cook at all, so how much to put in it.

As a result, after discussing for a long time, two large barrels of shrimp paste were sold at a price of 25,000 won, and the boss was very kind enough to give a small bucket for free.

Expressing their gratitude to the boss, Lee Jun-hee and Yoo Jae-seok carried shrimp paste, and the wind broke the small restaurant selling army soup opposite.

Because it was dark and the population here was not very large, there were no customers in the store, but the room was very warm, and as soon as I walked in, Liu Zaishi's glasses were covered with a layer of mist.

"Boss! How is the army soup sold!? "Lee Jun-hee can't wait.

The boss couldn't help but be stunned when he saw so many people coming in at once, but when he saw the camera and Liu Zaishi's familiar face, he immediately reacted and knew that he was filming a show.

"Uh~~~~~~ 20,000 won." After speaking, he also emphasized, "Big!" ”

Lee Jun-hee and Yoo Jae-seok almost hugged each other and cried when they heard this, when they were buying shrimp paste just now, thanks to their desperate bargaining, there are exactly 20,000 won left on their bodies.

A large portion of the troop soup is in sight!

If it is placed in normal times, Li Junxi does not like to eat any army soup at all, because the taste is really ordinary, there are only a few sausages, one or two slices of luncheon meat, some miscellaneous vegetables, noodles and kimchi, etc., if it is delicious, it is not considered at all, but now for him, it is absolutely delicious.

asked for a large portion of army soup, the three of them found a seat, and began to look forward to it, and soon, the army soup was served, steaming, so that the three people who had been frozen for a long time immediately had a great appetite.

As soon as the boss put it down, the three of them couldn't wait to stretch out their chopsticks, and one of them took a big bite and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly the whole person felt warm.

Of course, the taste is still very ordinary, but the implication is very consistent with their current situation, and there are several versions of the origin of "army soup" in Korean folklore.

Version 1: After the Second World War, South Korea experienced a long period of poverty, and in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, the problem of food and clothing for the people was not completely solved, and even in the first good district like Seoul, there was still widespread poverty and hunger. In stark contrast, the American GIs at the U.S. military base lived a worry-free life, and the food was very different from that of the ordinary people in Seoul at that time. Some American GIs threw away the expired ham and sausages. But this "garbage" is like pie falling from the sky to the hungry South Koreans, so near the canteen of the US military base, many poor South Koreans gather almost every day, as soon as the swill truck out of the base arrives, people rush up to scramble for the leftovers of the American GIs, and after the people fill the pots and pans with leftovers, they happily return home, add some home-made kimchi to it, and then boil it on the stove. After that, the fragrant sausage luncheon meat kimchi soup was served to the table.

Version 2, some Korean aunts who work in the canteen of the US military base sometimes bring some leftover sausages and luncheon meat home from the canteen, or take advantage of the unique conditions to buy some meat at a cheap price, and add kimchi, bean sprouts, instant noodles, etc. after returning home, and stew them together, thus producing "army soup".

In version three, some small restaurants collect swill from the canteen of the US military base, take sausages, ham, etc. from the swill, add kimchi, bean sprouts, instant noodles, etc. to stew together, and then sell them. Although the "army soup" tasted good, this illegal act of the small restaurant was sanctioned by the South Korean government. Since then, some restaurants have started to make similar soups with hygienic ingredients according to the original recipe, and the loud and funny name "army soup" has been retained.

Version 4, the South Korean soldiers at that time did not have the conditions to eat meat in large pieces like the American soldiers, and the South Korean troops always cut sausages, hams, etc. into small pieces, and stew them with kimchi and instant noodles. Later, the method of making this soup was passed on to the people, and the current "army soup" was derived.

If decades ago, "army soup" was a kind of embarrassing and even unbearable memory of Koreans, then in the 21st century, the Korean people can confidently regard it as a kind of distinctive food, and at the same time, "army soup" always reminds Koreans not to forget the poverty of the past.

Of course, Li Junxi and the others don't have the heart to think about the bittersweet at this time, they just want to eat some hot food to make their bodies comfortable.

"In stone OPPA! Is it really okay to ~~~~~~~~~ like that? Shen Enzhen was eating, suddenly thought of something, and asked with some concern, "We are eating and drinking here, but others have to take care of housework at home, if they are discovered, the end will be miserable!" ”

When Liu Zaishi heard this, his face froze, and his mind immediately flashed that they secretly ate the army soup, and after being discovered by Li Xiaoli, they instantly turned into a female Tyrannosaurus rex, and they immediately shuddered.

"As long as we don't talk about this ~~~~~~~~, we shouldn't be discovered!"

Liu Zaishi thought about it, and it seemed that there was no particularly good way to solve it, so he could only hide it.

Li Junxi didn't think about it so much, and said, "It's okay! There's no way they know, and when the time comes, we'll just keep it a secret! ”

Shen Enzhen was still not at ease: "But if they ask why we came back so late, how can we explain it!" ”

As Shen Enzhen's closest relative, Li Junxi knows her character very well, Shen Enzhen is sometimes like a boy, but sometimes, his heart is a headache.

"It's okay to say it, if you are asked, let's just say that the price has been negotiated for a long time, isn't the original price of the two barrels of shrimp paste 29,000 won, if it weren't for the 20,000 won contributed by Brother Shi, we wouldn't have been able to buy it at all."

After Li Junxi finished speaking, he didn't forget to say to the camera lens: "In front of the TV, the children who are watching the show, this is lying, please don't imitate it!" ”

Li Junxi's funny appearance made Shen Enzhen laugh: "In that case, when the time comes, Junxi, you will explain it alone, and if it is discovered, you will be the only one to bear the wrath of Xiaolioni!" ”

Although when playing games, Shen Eunjin and Lee Hyo-ri kept confronting each other, but in fact, the relationship between the two was very good in private.

Lee Jun-hee doesn't care, he eats it anyway, even if he is discovered, what else can he do, he can't let him spit it all out!

The pot full of army soup was eaten by the three of them, and immediately the body was much warmer, and the shrimp paste was loaded, and the three of them went home.

By this time, it was already completely dark, and by the time the three of them arrived at the house, the preparations for pickling kimchi had been completed, and the kimchi pork belly was boiling in the cauldron.

As soon as Li Junxi smelled the smell, he regretted it in his heart, he knew that there was meat to eat at night, who would eat what army soup, this guy's typical position is not firm.

Seeing the three people coming back, Lee Hyori immediately said dissatisfied: "Why did you only come back now!?" ”

Liu Zaishi was a little nervous when he heard this, and looked at Li Junxi, Shen Enzhen was the same, after all, he had done something wrong, and he was very weak at this time.

Li Junxi was very calm: "What! It's not all because the money given by Sister Xiaoli is too small, these two barrels of shrimp paste cost 26,000 won, thanks to our constant bargaining, the boss agreed to sell it to us cheaply, and also gave us a small bucket! If it weren't for the bargaining, we would have come back a long time ago, it's so cold outside, you think we'd be willing to stay outside! ”

Lee Hyo-ri obviously didn't believe Lee Jun-hee's nonsense, put on his shoes and ran over, and walked around the three of them, suddenly as if he had found something.

"What does this taste like, say! Are you three eating something delicious behind our backs! ”

I'll go!

Lee Hyo-ri looks like a dog's nose!

After walking so far back, he was blown by the sea breeze, and Lee Jun-hee couldn't smell any smell on his body, but Lee Hyo-ri could smell it.

Liu Zaishi was "frightened" and was about to confess immediately, but when Li Junxi saw this, he hurriedly said, "What! You only gave so much money to eat good things, we can't buy shrimp paste, what else can we eat! ”

"Really?" Lee still didn't believe it, but it was clear that she was cheating just now.

Lee Jun-hee guessed Lee Hyori's mind at a glance: "Absolutely not, Ash!" If you doubt me, next time Sister Xiaoli will buy it herself, she has run such a long way, and she has overfulfilled the task, and she still has to be suspected, it is really speechless! ”

Lee Jun-hee said, and made a look of grievance, and when Lee Hyo-ri saw it, he also felt that he was probably over-minded.

"I'm doing this for your good, but I'm worried that you will be despised by all the audience if you become a believer!"

Apostate!?

Despised by all the audience!?

When Li Junxi and the three of them heard this, they could only laugh wryly, that betrayer, they seem to have done it!

In order to make up for their "sins", the three of them immediately started to work with everyone, pickling the kimchi to be given to the villagers.

When Liu Zaishi called Luo Jingen before, everyone heard the process of pickling kimchi, and it sounded very simple, but if you really did it yourself, it was a completely different matter.

And that's a hundred of them!

"Hey~~~~~~ how long is this going to be!?"

"I've never done anything like this before, it's really tiring!"

Everyone is doing it, and they are complaining, but complaining is complaining, but no one will be lazy, because these kimchi will eventually be given to the old people in the village.

The countryside in South Korea is the same, young people are not willing to be farmers for a lifetime, they have gone to the big cities, most of the people left in the village are some old people, although the hands and feet are still very sharp, but after all, they are not as good as young people, such as pickling kimchi, although everyone can do it, but those who are older are already a little powerless.

"It's done!"

Finally, all 100 Chinese cabbages were pickled, which may have tasted a little worse, but it was no small achievement for the family members who had never done it before.

After the pickles were pickled and dinner was ready, everyone moved the table together, took the dishes and chopsticks, and the meals were served on the table.

"Let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" Lee Hyo-ri suddenly shouted to stop, then grabbed Yoo Jae-seok beside him and took down a ~~~~~~~~ ramen from his clothes.

"In stone OPPA! Can you tell us what this is!? ”

When Liu Zaishi saw it, his face turned white.

"O filial piety! Listen to me! (To be continued.) )
