Translator: Lonelytree
In the end, although not everyone was willing to fork out so much silver just to eat a small mushroom, they couldn't stand the temptation of the fragrance. They gritted their teeth and took out a tael of silver. They bought one mushroom to taste.
Then, the small mushroom slithered down their throat. They didn't even have the chance to taste it properly.
Then, they turned to look at their boss, who was eating, with eager eyes.
He had paid two gold ingots for 412 mushrooms. There were 12 people in their troop, so each of them could get at least 30 mushrooms.
Although their boss had spent a lot, at least he had a free rabbit leg and some seasonings that they hadn't seen before. The seasonings could be used in future barbecues.
As for Guo Bing, although he did not lack money, he didn't have money growing on trees. A mushroom cost one tael of silver. He had already eaten 35 taels of silver just now. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
He touched the two ingots of gold ingots in his pocket and looked at the rabbit leg that their leader was eating so loudly. He turned to Lin Yuelan with a cheeky smile, "Miss, please give me a taste of this rabbit meat. I want to see the difference between it and the roasted rabbit meat that we usually eat."
To be honest, he just wanted to take advantage of the free sample. Then, he could use his money to buy more mushrooms.
His plan was good, but Lin Yuelan didn't fall for it
Lin Yuelan reached out a hand toward him and put her palm in front of Guo Bing.
Guo Bing was a little confused. "What are you doing?"

"Pay up!" Lin Yuelan said matter-of-factly.
"Pay up?!" Guo Bing was so surprised that he almost jumped up. "Miss, I just wanted a taste. Do you want to charge me for that?"
Lin Yuelan looked at Guo Bing with a disdainful look and said indifferently, "As I said, the rarer the food, the more precious it is. Do you think I'd let you taste such precious food for free?
"If you want to taste it, then pay up. Once you do, I'll give you a taste." Lin Yuelan stressed.
Guo Bing was struck. It was one thing for a young girl to be so smart but was it necessary for her to talk about money always?
Didn't vendors normally give free samples?
Guo Bing felt like he should lecture this child. How could a child so young be so money-minded?
Guo Bing pretended to cough a few times. Then, he cleared his throat.
Guo Bing said to Lin Yuelan, "Hey, Miss, can we not have everything revolve around me. Talks of money hurt a relationship, don't you agree?"
Lin Yuelan ate the rabbit head. For her, this was the best part.
She nodded and seemed to agree with him. "Well, you're not wrong."
Guo Bing was delighted. He reached out his hand excitedly, wanting to take the other rabbit leg that had already been seasoned. After all, his goal was to taste the rabbit for free.
Lin Yuelan's small hand slapped Guo Bing's outstretched devil claw away. She continued to munch on the rabbit. Then, she mumbled, "Walks of looney curt a relation hip, but what kind of lationship do we harp?"
Guo Bing didn't get what Lin Yuelan was saying, so he asked her to clarify. "Miss, do you mind repeating what you said? I didn't get what you said."

"Uncle, talks of money hurt a relationship, but what kind of relationship do we have?" Then, Lin Yuelan continued to munch on the rabbit. There was also another person who was munching noisily on the rabbit's leg.
Guo Bing's face darkened. He looked at Jiang Zhennan with a frown. 'Boss is so unkind. I'm trying my best to get a taste, but Boss is eating so noisily.'
After Lin Yuelan finished the rabbit head, her hands were full of grease.
She took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped her mouth. Then, she finally remembered what Guo Bing said. She glanced at Guo Bing, who was looking at the masked man who was eating with relish, and said, "Hey, uncle. Back to the matter at hand, what kind of relationship do we have?"
At this moment, Guo Bing finally reacted and immediately shouted, "Uncle? Miss, how can you call me Uncle? Do I look that old? I'm only 20 years old! I'm a handsome big brother with a fair face." Then, Guo Bing took out a small compact mirror. It looked like a round copper mirror used by rich young ladies. He looked left and right. His reflection still looked like a handsome young man. He was definitely not old enough to be called an uncle!
His heart was fragile, and it could break with a touch.
Lin Yuelan looked at Guo Bing, who seemed to have suffered a huge blow. The corner of her mouth twitched. 'Why would a grown man carry around a mirror used by a woman in his sleeve?' No matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem normal.
The other soldiers had been watching the show from the side. Their first lieutenant was trying to trick people with his words again. However, this time, a young girl seemed to have stumped him.
Seeing Lin Yuelan's puzzled expression, Little Six whispered to Lin Yuelan, "Miss, our first lieutenant loves beauty as much as a woman. He has to look at himself in the mirror at least three times a day."
"Little Six, are you itching for a fight? How dare you say that I act like a woman?" Guo Bing immediately exploded in anger.
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes and waved her hand, "Uncle, don't you know that there's a saying called there's a generation gap every three years? I'm only eight years old now, and you're already twenty years old. The difference of twelve years is already four generation gaps, okay? Why shouldn't I call you an uncle? Or do you prefer Young Uncle?"
The others, including the general, blinked their eyes. They watched on with interest. What was the difference between uncle and Young Uncle. They were both uncles!
Plus, what was the meaning of a generation gap? Soldiers like them didn't understand it.
"Miss, what is a generation gap?" A deep and magnetic voice came into Lin Yuelan's ears from the left.
