Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionTo your surprise, Draff did not intend to reprimand Xiangling, but instead wanted her to help promote Springvale's meat products instead. Sticking to her principles, Xiangling refused to cook for advertising, and would have left if she was not attracted to the smell of Brook's cooking. What began as a chat devolved into disagreement about how to prepare food, and ended in the declaration of a cook-off between the head chef of Springvale and the chef from Liyue.
- (Talk to Xiangling)
- Xiangling: I think we're getting close...
- Paimon: Have you decided what you're looking for yet?
- Xiangling: Of course not!
- Paimon: Then how are you so sure of yourself?
- Xiangling: That's just my style. If I decided in advance exactly how I was going to cook something, there'd be no element of surprise to the dish.
- Xiangling: In the same way, if I knew what I was looking for before I found it, it wouldn't be a surprise.
- Paimon: But that's so risky...
- Xiangling: Relax, this is how I came up with all the signature dishes at Wanmin Restaurant.
- Xiangling: Let's look around here, I'll let you know when I find something I like.
- (Collect three Lotus Heads)
- Xiangling: Check out those Lotus Heads — look how fresh they are!
- Xiangling: Boar steak with lotus seeds... This could work!
- Xiangling: Okay, let's gather them.
- (Continue looking for the right ingredients)
- Xiangling: Hee-hee, this should be enough.
- Xiangling: It's not every day you come to Liyue. Let's keep looking and see what else we can find.
- (Collect three Jueyun Chilis)
- Xiangling: Wow, Jueyun Chilis!
- Paimon: Aw, that's such a cute name.
- Xiangling: Maybe so, but those little fellas pack quite a punch.
- Xiangling: From what I've observed spicy food is a rarity in Mondstadt. So this will be perfect.
- Xiangling: Go and pick some! Get a good handful.
- (Talk to Xiangling)
- Xiangling: I still feel like we're lacking something...
What do you mean?- Do you mean it's not impressive enough?
- Xiangling: It's missing a little boom shaka-laka!
- Paimon: Yeah, now that you mention it, it is a little boom shaka-laka-lacking.
A shaka-laka-loada what now?- Paimon, you understand this?
- Paimon: Hehehe...
- Xiangling: Brook may be a stickler for convention, but she is a talented chef nonetheless.
- Xiangling: There's no doubt she will source the fanciest-quality ingredients. To win this will take a truly mind-blowing dish...
- Xiangling: Something like sea-serpent salad, stir-fried Qingxin flower, or wild mushrooms in a rich slime jus.
- Paimon: Urgh... a slime jus!?
- Xiangling: Haha, I know how weird it sounds but I guarantee you it tastes incredible.
- Xiangling: I'll make some for you next time!
- Can't wait to try it.
- Xiangling: Hee-hee, you won't be disappointed when you taste it, although it looks a teensy bit gross.
- Eh... No need.
- Xiangling: I don't get it, what's not to love...?
- Xiangling: Never mind that, I've just remembered there's somewhere I never checked out last time.
- Xiangling: My gut tells me that's where we'll hit the jackpot. Let's take a look!
