No matter how many times I say it, people always forget — cooking is medicine, and making medicine is cooking. Using food to treat the sick is my specialty. As the saying goes, a chef who doesn't want to be a healer isn't worth his salt... or pepper, for that matter.

Overview
A foxian healer from the Xianzhou Yaoqing and a counselor. Often greets people with a smile, but is rather cunning.
Born into a prestigious Alchemy Commission family, he once withdrew from practicing medicine due to a broken heart. However, he returned to the field to treat "the Merlin's Claw," General Feixiao.
Skilled in the study of alchemical prescription that views food as medicine, especially those that induce a sensation of spiciness. They invented a cauldron-based medicinal formula known as the "nine-squared grid."

About Other Characters
This part is about what Jiaoqiu thinks about the other characters in Honkai: Star Rail.
General Feixiao is my benefactor and patient. A doctor's life belongs to his patient. I cannot leave this world before she's cured.
My duty is to heal the general, and Moze's duty is to suppress her eagerness. That's why I'm in charge of cooking and medicine, and Moze handles all the dirty work. You see, neither of us can slack off.
How much of that smile of his is genuine, how much of it is hiding something — Every time I see him, I can't help but wonder. Of course, this isn't his problem. It's mine.
In the entire Alliance, Huaiyan is the most inscrutable of the generals. I've worked with him on more than a few occasions, but I can never seem to figure him out.
I didn't expect to see someone his age still using a sword as a toy... From generation to generation, it seems some things never change.
Miss Yunli may be the youngest member of the Flamewheel Octet, but she is no less a swordsmaster than the other seven. Some might suspect her of benefitting from her connection to Huaiyan, but she could not have endured such rigor and refinement if she were not a valuable talent in her own right.
Head of the Alchemy Commission is not a position that can be filled with just a handful of good medical skills — even with the right skills, filling the position and holding it are two entirely different matters.
I hope that she actually enjoys the art of medicine, and that it's not just a responsibility imposed on her... But that seems to be a predicament most Vidyadhara have to grapple with.
Those two sisters epitomize the failures of the Xianzhou Alliance - no one can live well and no one can die well. If even death is a luxury, then what kind of monsters have we become?
Anyone who says the master diviner is eccentric should pay a visit to her home world, the Xianzhou Yuque. That's the heartland of the followers of the Wisdomwalker. I'm guessing every conversation on the Yuque is some permutation of "he knows that you know that I know that he knows..."
Like Helm Master Yukong, after the war 30 years ago, I've grown weary of fighting.
When I first met Sushang, she was still in Suyi's arms, sucking her thumb. It feels like it was just yesterday when I was helping her skip classes and being scolded by Suyi... I'm getting old.
Guinaifen might not realize it, but by living her life like a roaring fire, she also illuminates the lives of others... like the little flame under a hot pot.
