Canon
Keqing talks about Xiangling and she gets that she's gifted and everything, Keqing thinks that her cooking can be a hit-or-miss. Keqing mentions that she was all ready to hire her for a small banquet, and gave her full control over the menu. But then quickly turned off to the idea due to Xiangling's amount of lizard and slime that was put in her sample dish.

In the Moonchase Festival, Xiangling asks Keqing if she could tag along with her investigation. Xiangling says that she might be able to get some great inspiration along the way during investigating about the Stove God, Xiangling then promises to Keqing that she'll help. Keqing later then, accepted her, Xiangling thanks her for this and tells that she's the best.

When returning back to Liyue, when Xiangling goes to Wanmin Restaurant, Keqing tells the Traveler that she has something to discuss. Keqing asks the Traveler on what to do to get along with Xiangling, the Traveler thought that Keqing didn't needed any advices from anyone because she seemed smart and intelligent. Keqing replies that Xiangling has always been so warm and friendly to her, and this time because she was desperately to do her a favor. Keqing asks if she and Xiangling are supposedly friends now. Telling that she's isn't being used to dealing people who are so warm, she asks again, how she is supposedly gonna respond to that. Traveler then, gave Keqing an advice and later then left.

The Traveler goes to Wanmin Restaurant, Xiangling asks on what the Traveler meant by when they asked Paimon to explain the whole thing, And so then, Paimon explains that they have been noticing that her and Keqing have been getting along pretty well, so Paimon then asked if she really likes hanging out with her. To which, Xiangling says yes and responds, that she's good-natured and easy to be around. Saying that's the kind of person everyone wants to know. The Traveler talks about the first time meeting Keqing, she was seemed intimidating and having a formidable presence. Xiangling asks the Traveler if they really meant it, she remembers that Keqing was really easy to get along with. Paimon mentions to the Traveler that Xiangling's intuition for people seemed really spot-on which could've been the reason why Xiangling took a liking to Keqing so quickly.

Keqing finally comes back at Wanmin Restaurant and gave Xiangling a recipe that was from her grandfather, and apologizes as some of the notes has faded away because it was old. Xiangling then took a look at the recipe and happily said that she needs some time to look at it properly.

When the Traveler was looking for Keqing, they were able to find her. Keqing tells that she has find herself in a predicament, saying that she voted for Smiley Yanxiao. Paimon asks if it was because she couldn't change her vote and vote for Xiangling, but Keqing says that wasn't it. Instead, as she was a judge, she had a duty to remain objective. But Xiangling was her friend, so by rights she said. She should be honest with it. Since Keqing voted based on her personal opinion, Xiangling might not appreciate it and mentions to the Traveler that she has no idea how to deal with people of her temperament. Meaning she just doesn't know how to break it to her.

Quotes
"Yeah, the up-and-coming chef from Wanmin Restaurant... I get that she's gifted and everything, I just think her cooking can be a bit hit-or-miss. I was all ready to hire her for a small banquet once, and give her full control over the menu... but the amount of lizard and slime in her sample dishes quickly turned me off to that idea!"
