It's an extreme response, but it's just as well. Li Lianhua wouldn't kill Inigo on the spot, but he might be tetchy to deal with for a seemingly interminable amount of time after such a social misstep. Maybe even take it out on the willing sufferers at hand with even worse food for being denied his fun playing host. Di Feisheng JUST thought he'd check, and mess with Inigo a little further, but real elucidation does not seem to be forthcoming and chances are high Inigo is just Like This. The puppy eyes don't have any effect, but he feels enough mercy to put Inigo out of his misery anyway. It is literally just food, hospitality, normal things. More normalcy than this house should have any claim to, in all honesty.
"Yes. It's too cold to eat outside." Inigo apparently needs the clearest cut invitation possible, but Di Feisheng can't resist a final food based threat before leading Inigo kitchenward. He'll give everyone some face by not talking about breaking in any more, as an act of magnanimity, even though there is patently no point in standing on ceremony. And it's best to keep things airtight, both in terms of Inigo's comprehension and Di Feisheng's fire related chores. "Close the door behind you."
