This baby is not to be trifled with; even the villains were beaten to tears.

While the other guests were still struggling to dig and weed, Dou Niechen and Dou Xiaodou had already sat down at the table to eat.

The old lady cooked four dishes today: Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Maoxuewang (a spicy Sichuan dish), and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

There were even oranges grown by the old lady herself.

Seeing the table full of fragrant food, Dou Xiaodou's eyes lit up. "It smells so good!"

It was a chili aroma she had never tasted before.

Dou Niechen hadn't had this kind of Sichuan specialty dish in a long time, and the smell made his mouth water.

He can eat spicy food, but Dou Xiaodou isn't sure if he can.

Seeing his worry, the old lady smiled and said, "It's alright, little kids adapt better than adults, they'll love it after just one bite."

The local kids eat spicy food from a young age; none of them don't love it.

Dou Niechen reminded Dou Xiaodou beforehand, "These dishes all have chili peppers in them. If you can't handle spicy food, can you just not force yourself to eat them?"

Dou Xiaodou patted her little chest, thinking to herself, "What kind of food can't this little one eat?"

It's just chili peppers, the same name as spicy strips, she can definitely do it.

The mother-in-law smiled and scooped a spoonful of Mapo Tofu for her.

"Try the Mapo Tofu rice bowl, it's so delicious!"

Dou Xiaodou picked up a spoon and ate the Mapo Tofu with rice.

Open your mouth wide and let out a loud gulp.

"Wow, it smells so good, it tastes so good."

The first bite is fresh, fragrant, soft, and sticky, paired with chewy white rice—it's absolutely delicious.

But what followed was a burning sensation.

It was as if the tofu was fighting in her mouth.

And the fight got more and more intense.

"what!"

Dou Xiaodou covered her mouth in pain and stomped her little feet on the ground.

Dou Niechen quickly got her some milk, saying, "Drink some milk, it won't be spicy if you hold it in your mouth."

Dou Xiaodou immediately took a big gulp of milk and put it in her mouth, and sure enough, it was good.

Seeing that her face was flushed from the spiciness, Dou Niechen said with concern, "How about some steamed egg custard?"

Should we skip the other dishes?

Dou Xiaodou, however, became more determined despite the setbacks, saying, "No."

She's just not used to it yet; she'll be fine after eating a few more bites.

Dou Niechen wanted to persuade her, but seeing the girl's stubbornness, he let her have her way.

Kids are like that; the more you oppose them, the more they want to do it. So just let them eat it. Once they've had enough of the spiciness, they'll naturally stop eating.

So instead of putting his arm around her, he picked up a piece of spicy Kung Pao chicken for her.

Dou Xiaodou started swallowing as she smelled the spicy stir-fried chicken.

Without saying a word, he stuffed it into his mouth.

Kung Pao Chicken with rice is heavenly, and she happily chewed it up.

Then her face turned redder and redder.

Dou Niechen observed her expression. "Is it spicy again?"

Dou Xiaodou's cheeks were puffed out, and her big eyes were red, but she wouldn't admit it, "It's not spicy!"

Dou Niechen smiled.

He's not very old, but he's quite stubborn.

"Okay, if it's not spicy, keep eating."

Dou Xiaodou didn't want to be looked down upon, so she continued eating the rice in her bowl.

But this time he didn't offer any food.

Dou Niechen wanted to laugh, but he held it in, afraid that if he laughed, she would definitely cry and then he would be subjected to a barrage of nagging. So he pretended not to see it.

Seeing that her father and grandmother weren't paying attention to her, Dou Xiaodou secretly ate more vegetables, thinking that the vegetables wouldn't be spicy.

The vegetables looked very green.

She figured the green vegetables wouldn't be spicy, so she just put them in her mouth.

After chewing just a couple of times, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Aaaaaah, it's so spicy~~"

Why is the vegetable dish so spicy?

Dou Niechen was also startled and quickly looked at the stir-fried Erjingtiao peppers.

Good heavens, with the stove smoky and fiery, he hadn't even noticed that this stir-fry was actually made with chili peppers.

Careless.

Busy feeding Dou Xiaodou milk, "Hurry up and drink your milk."

Dou Xiaodou hugged the milk and sucked on it.

Her face was flushed from the heat, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

Dou Niechen laughed in exasperation, "Everyone says not to force yourself to eat what you can't. You didn't listen to the elders, and now you're paying the price!"

Dou Xiaodou retorted, "I can do it!"

She felt that it was normal for such a fragrant dish to be a little spicy.

It's because her mouth isn't fully developed that she can't eat it; it's definitely not a problem with the vegetables.

Dou Niechen.....

Meeting you is truly admirable.

"But are you still going to eat this spicy dish?"

"If you don't eat, Dad will cook you a bowl of noodles?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Have some steamed egg custard. I'll make you noodles for dinner."

Dou Xiaodou obediently agreed, mixed the steamed egg custard with rice, and ate all the remaining rice without wasting a single grain.

As for the spicy dishes on the table, she came up with a compromise.

Just take a bowl, wash the spicy food, and it won't be as spicy when you put it in your mouth.

Dou Niechen.....

You really will come up with all sorts of methods when it comes to food.

The photographers couldn't stop laughing.

I never expected that the popular online methods for relieving spiciness would actually work on a little baby. It's hilarious!

The old lady also found it funny, "I even put less chili in."

If she's eating it herself, she'll put in even more chili.

I reduced the amount of chili peppers today because the kids were here, but I didn't expect the little girl to still have snot running down her face from the spiciness. She's so adorable.

Dou Xiaodou smiled sheepishly, "It's because my mouth isn't fully developed yet."

When I grow up, I'll be able to eat chili peppers.

The old lady was amused and laughed non-stop.

Dou Niechen and the photographer couldn't help but laugh.

The courtyard was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

The guests outside, who had just returned from the fields and were covered in mud, were envious when they heard the laughter coming from inside.

"Mr. Dou is eating way too fast!"

They need to rush back to cook.

After all, since they were eating for free, they felt embarrassed to just sit and wait for food, so they had to cook for themselves.

As a result, because I had never used a stove before, I couldn't control the heat and the food was either burnt or dried out.

In the end, it turned out dry and didn't look appetizing.

The children were even more disgusted, asking, "Dad, can we eat this?"

The guests reluctantly agreed, saying, "Let's eat; we can't waste food."

The children had no choice but to eat it.

In the end, I couldn't eat any more dishes, so I could only eat white rice and wouldn't touch any other dishes.

The photographer took pictures of the children who were only eating white rice, and was both amused and exasperated, thinking to himself that his fans would laugh themselves to death when they saw it.

After dinner, the director told them to find a place to rest on their own.

They'll sleep wherever someone is willing to take them in today.

Dou Niechen asked Dou Xiaodou to go to the old lady and ask for lodging. The child was thick-skinned, so it was best to let Dou Xiaodou go.

Dou Xiaodou saw through his scheme and immediately held out her chubby little hand, "Delivery fee!"

Dou Niechen exclaimed in surprise, "You're running errands for yourself, and you want me to pay you?"

Dou Xiaodou, her little belly protruding, complained, "Daddy uses my bed, shouldn't I get paid?"

Dou Niechen was stunned. "You actually know how to use people?"

I thought kids wouldn't understand this.

I didn't expect her to know so much.

Dou Xiaodou said proudly, "That's right."

That's how it's always portrayed in short dramas; she saw through it immediately.

Dou Niechen was both amused and exasperated by her cleverness. He reached into his pocket, but his wallet was with the director, so he could only pull out a lemon candy from his inner pocket.

"This is all we have."

Dou Xiaodou saw that it was candy and reluctantly accepted it.

She then said disdainfully, "Daddy's a poor wretch."

Dou Niechen...

If you call the richest man in City A a poor ghost, then what is not poor?
