Truth be told, Xiangling has no idea. She's never seen one in person, she just read in one of her cookbooks that this variant of the pepper supposedly exists. But she's never seen one in any of the markets in Liyue Harbor, and the markets of Liyue Harbor have everything you could possibly want. So she's starting to get a little discouraged - though like hell if she's going to let Keqing know.
Fortunately, before she can start thinking of what else she has on hand - and what she can substitute - for other meals, Keqing speaks up. Xiangling stands, dusting off her knees and turns to look at the pepper Keqing is holding.
Her eyes light up. Perhaps it's the sunlight as it sets, but that's definitely more orange than the others. "That's it!" she exclaims, darting over through the bushes, clasping Keqing's wrists in her hands and beaming. "You found them! Great job! Ooh, and there's a whole bush too, this'll be plenty!"
She doesn't waste any time, opening up another pouch and putting the pepper in. "C'mon, let's finish here and we can make a fire and start cooking!"
Or, more specifically, she'll start cooking while Keqing watches, but that's just how they roll.
