■ Life on the Road, Market Food Stories of Idle Vendors Once every five days, a festival is held where all the things that go on the table gather. Let’s go to Oiljang, where seasonal products from the mountains, fields, and the sea tell the changing of the seasons! For the couple of peddlers of fish who go from the Donghae Bukpyeong Market to Yeongwol and Taebaek, market days are everyday life and the market is the foundation of life. For these couples who spend a week of five days instead of seven, traces of their old lives remain in the market like memories. Every market day, they spread out a table on the road and call everyone. The food on the table is different every time, but the affection that goes on it together remains constant. Food on the road that market people taste at the market! People on the road gather, meet, communicate, and fill their time at the market. ■ Maintaining the tradition of peddlers - Memories of peddlers’ tables served at Hanti Pass Tavern The market has become a center of trade and communication between people and regions. According to records, there were a total of 1,061 markets during the Joseon Dynasty, and there were peddlers who traveled between markets and led the exchange of goods across the country. Most of the peddlers who traveled the eight provinces carrying loads on their backs and bundles disappeared after the Japanese colonial period, but there are people who remember the peddlers and continue their legacy. They are the peddlers’ organization, Yedeok Sangmusa, who worked hard to enable the exchange of seafood from the West Sea and agricultural products from Yesan. The memories of dongchimi stew and mugwort rice cakes that come to mind when looking at the high and rugged mountain pass, and the story of Yesan Deoksan Market, their main stage, come together like the popular gukmal-i gukbap (rice cake with sweet potato) that was popular at the market. ■ Cattle markets were always held whenever there was a five-day market. Cattle markets were always held whenever there was a five-day market. The two men who have lived their entire lives as cattle brokers at the cattle market still have a shining eye for cattle even now that electronic auctions have been adopted. In the past, cattle were led by foot, but now trucks gather one after another, filling the empty space with the sound of cows mooing. Mr. Han Gyeon-gwang still has vivid memories of the cattle market, but many things are disappearing, including the feeling of the hands that used to lead cattle and the old appearance. He remembers the cattle market a little differently from his junior, Mr. Lee Taek-gi, but the food that satisfied their hunger was the same. He worked as a cattle broker, but he went through a time when he would boil pig intestines to make pig soup instead of cattle, and now he makes raw meat soup with raw beef as a delicacy. Let’s take a look at the nostalgic meals of these people who lived as cattle brokers. ■ Things that are disappearing, dreaming of the coexistence of the past and present - People at Songjeong Station Market in Gwangju The landscape of traditional markets has changed so much recently. We have arrived at a time when the landscape of the market remains only as a memory. People are leaving one by one, and the market is disappearing because it has become a place that is no longer visited. However, not everything has disappeared. We met people in Gwangju who have rebuilt the old and dilapidated empty market. The past and present of a market that is over 100 years old naturally coexist, and people who have lived through that long time and young people who want to take on challenges dream together. Taste the harmony of new and old flavors at the 1913 Songjeong Station Market.
