Hi Eddie,

Literally, it means I am just someone responsible for buying soy sauce. It’s a slang on the Internet which means: it’s not my business. For example,

  • A:这件事你得负责。
    [Zhè jiàn shì nǐ dé fùzé.]
    You have to take the responsibility.

  • B:我就只是个打酱油的而已,你找别人吧。
    [Wǒ jiù zhǐshì ge dǎ jiàngyóu de éryǐ, nǐ zhǎo biérén ba.]
    I am just a nobody. Find someone else.
