==Summary==
===Part I - One for the Foodies, Two for the Show===
During their travels, Paimon suggests to the Traveler that they head to Wanmin Restaurant for a nice meal as the weather is reminding her of it. At the restaurant, they are greeted by Xiangling and her father Chef Mao. Xiangling reveals that the Moonlight Merriment festival is about to start and she is partaking in a cooking competition but needs some normal inspiration to create her dish. They decide to first ask Hu Tao and Baizhu for some advice. Deciding they need more selective options, they head to Yujing Terrace and find Beidou, Ningguang and Keqing next to a mysterious rock. The rock had been fished out from the sea but no one is sure as to what may be inside it.
Keqing reveals that her grandfather had studied Liyue traditions and that the Stove God may be different from Morax, suggesting they head to Qingce Village for their historical texts. There, they run into Xingqiu and Chongyun. Xingqiu lets Keqing borrow some texts, where she finds information of the Stove God making an appearance at the Guili Assembly. Wangshu Inn is close by the area, so they head there and run into Smiley Yanxiao, who brings them some old texts in return for Traveler teaching him how to make Satisfying Salad. Keqing and Xiangling find more information, although it conflicts with what they had known. Nonetheless, Yanxiao makes a meal for the group. As he brings the food, Xiangling realizes that he is her destined competitor and Yanxiao also reveals that he is attending the competition.
Returning to Liyue Harbor, Keqing goes off to look for the recipe her grandfather had while the rest return to the restaurant, where they are unexpectedly greeted by Cloud Retainer. Keqing soon arrives with the recipe on hand, upon which Xiangling believes that the Stove God may have been an adeptus. They head to her "master", Madame Ping, who explains about the history behind the Moonlight Merriment. Keqing is soon taken away on new developments and as the rest of the group catch up to her, they find that the statue has begun to crack.
===Part II - Three to Get Ready, and Here We Go===
With most of the competition cleared, Xiangling has the Traveler and Paimon accompany her to get more feedback for the finale. They first run into Beidou and Xinyan. After they give some feedback, Paimon suggests to Xiangling to find someone with milder tastes - the Traveler immediately thinks of Xiao and calls for him in a secluded area of the wharf. Xiao praises Xiangling for her cooking but suggests a few modifications on her dishes before he leaves.
The next day, the finale starts as Xiangling cooks off against Yanxiao. She finishes first before noticing Yanxiao is having difficulty before Guoba heads to his table and cheers him on. Yanxiao finishes his dishes and as the judges taste, they declare Xiangling the winner. The two then taste each other's dishes and leave on good terms. The Traveler and Paimon find a despondent Keqing nearby, who is upset that she chose Yanxiao over Xiangling because he had made Golden Shrimp Balls. Xiangling is surprised at this reasoning and reassures her that she has nothing to worry about. Returning to the statue, there has been no change so Xiangling suggests making the Chili-Mince Cornbread Buns that Ping had filled out for her. The Traveler and Xiangling return with them and give it to Keqing. As she finds herself enjoying the food, the rock cracks and reveals a statue of Guoba.
Xiangling is surprised to see the Guoba statue before Ping comes in and explains that Guoba is the God of the Stove they had been looking for. Guoba was formerly Marchosius and he had given up his powers to protect the lands of Liyue, becoming smaller and less intelligent. By the time Xiangling had found him, he had lost the ability to speak, yet is able to remember those familiar to him. Returning to Wanmin Restaurant, Guoba storms off as soon as they arrive, but it is due to Zhongli's arrival, who Guoba had sensed was familiar to him.
