Shawn stuffed another bite into his mouth.
"It's fine. I love spicy food." Joycelyn cheerfully added, "It's not bad at all! Olivia, your cooking is incredible. If you ever open a private restaurant, I'll be your VIP member!" Louis didn't stop to respond, simply waving a hand as he continued eating.
Harry was at a loss for words. He stared at Olivia, his mind full of doubt. Something's not right! I saw her put an entire basket of chili peppers into that pot.
Olivia responded with a calm, knowing smile.

Where did those chili peppers in the stew cfrom?" "If I remember correctly, Willowridge is known for its wild chili peppers. There should be plenty in the nearby mountains.

The moment he tasted it, he shouted, "This is way too salty!" He spat it out in disgust.
"Olivia, how much salt did you add?" Olivia blinked innocently. "Oh, I forgot to mention. I got distracted and added too much salt when I made the soup."
Louis winced, his face twisting in discomfort. But with the fish stew too spicy, he had no choice but to gulp.

Olivia grinned. "That was yesterday. Prices are rising, and my shop needs to adjust accordingly." 0
