Chapter 346: Chapter 346: I Want to Eat Chili Pepper Chapter 346: Chapter 346: I Want to Eat Chili Pepper Ma Ming smiled broadly, “Chili peppers aren’t just red.”
“There are yellow ones, green ones, and even orange ones.”
Little Taotie’s face suddenly turned pale, she turned her back, her whole face buried in the couch, her little bottom facing outward, looking completely unwilling to face any of this.
Ma Ming was about to die laughing, and said quite wickedly, “Actually, aside from chili peppers, there’s mustard, black pepper, and so on. You never know what a vengeful spirit used to like, and some folks have unique tastes, liking snail noodle soup, durian, stinky tofu…”
Little Taotie covered her little ears, not wanting to listen at all.
Hua Jinyan punched Ma Ming hard.
Her small fist hit Ma Ming on the shin, yet Ma Ming didn’t feel any pain at all, instead he grinned and said, “Master has been having backaches and pains recently, if you’ve got spare energy, why not give your master a back massage?”
Ma Ming, having offended both children, ended up not having his class because both students went on strike.
One lay embedded in the sofa, sprouting roots and growing mushrooms.
The other stayed by her side, muttering comforts, almost turning into a little chatterbox.
Ma Ming yawned, “Master is going back now, see you Saturday.”
Nobody paid him any attention.
Ma Ming bid farewell to his loneliness.
After Ma Ming left, Hua Jinyan whispered, “Next time I’ll taste it first. If it’s good, you can have some. You won’t have to taste bad things again.”
Little Taotie’s eyes brightened, somewhat conflicted, “But you might get burned or choked.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not afraid of spicy.”
Little Taotie still felt it wasn’t right, her little face wrinkling like a bun: “How could I be afraid of chili! I must conquer it!”
Little Taotie jumped out of the sofa, stood on the floor, stomped her little feet, and clenched her fists to pump herself up.
Little Taotie ran all the way to the nanny, raising her little head, “Auntie, I want to eat chili!”
The nanny was surprised for a moment, shaking her head, “You’re still young, it’s not suitable to eat spicy food, it’s too harsh for your body.”
“I want to eat! I want to conquer chili, I don’t want to be defeated by chili! I want to be a Little Taotie who isn’t afraid of spicy!”
“Auntie, I want to eat chili please!”
“Auntie, please let me have a little~”
The nanny: “… just a little bit.”
Little Taotie sat at the table, eagerly waiting for her chili feast.
The nanny served a portion of steamed egg that had cooled a bit to the perfect temperature, with a single strip of chili on top, radiant red.
It was just a delicate strip, like a strand of hair.
Little Taotie gazed up at her.
The nanny: “We agreed, just a little bit.”
The nanny urged, “Go on, eat.”
Little Taotie’s face showed distress. She scooped up a spoonful of the egg custard, topped with that delicate chili strip, and gobbled it down with an “Aww.”
She blinked, then blinked again, her eyes curving up.
Apparently, having experienced super spicy Candy, this bit of chili strip had no killing power on her, instead, it added a unique flavor to the egg custard.
Little Taotie scooped another spoonful of the egg custard, holding it out to the nanny, asking for more chili strips.
The nanny, having no choice, gave her another strip.
Little Taotie enjoyed her meal, eyes smiling, “I like chili now!”
When the nanny wasn’t looking, Little Taotie sneaked into the kitchen, sniffed around, headed towards a spot, and found a jar of chili sauce.
Little Taotie’s eyes sparkled bright as she opened the lid and scooped a spoonful directly into her mouth!
“Wow!” A cry echoed through the villa.
