Chapter 1678 Work Arrangement 2
After placing their luggage, Xiaoyang and the young officer who welcomed them came 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 fishermen’s zone were all distinctly separate, and Feng Qingxue remembered it all clearly.
During this time, they learned the young officer’s name 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 medical department.
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 meat, 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 meat.
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 meals, 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 departments, so doctors and nurses can freely choose their meals. If the canteen makes it, those with better conditions can eat meat every meal, while those with worse conditions might have soup every time. Such situations aren’t unheard of. However, fish is more available than meat, considering we’re surrounded by the sea on three sides."
