This scene, so small, always brings me so much joy!!

Fucker shoos daozhang away. That ungrateful bastard. Probably was saved from the local totally not caused by xue yang zombie infestation more times than he can count.

Awww, daozhang is bummed out! He was holding out his hand, trusting the kindness of strangers. I love how Xue Yang is basically following him around here, one step behind, watching over him.

And he was going away, too! Angry pout and all, but I doubt he’d be so compliant the first time something like this happened. Remember how he treated that cart in the extra flashback? He probably had much more outspoken reactions the first time he (or xxc) were shooed off like smelly street rats. I bet daozhang scolded him for it, and now he’s learned to be less hot-headed.

But his “patience” lasts all about three seconds XD MOtherfucker, you dare treat Xiao Xingchen like that?? He’s MY enemy! Only I get to be mean to him!

IT’S POTATO STABBIN’ TIME!

My lovely murder gremlin has learned some neat skills in silent threatening. Can’t be loud, not with daozhang within hearing range.

And he calls him BY NAME! If at this point Xiao Xingchen doesn’t recognize him, his voice, his mannerisms, it’s all on him. Or he doesn’t WANT to recognize him because he’s found he’s so happy with this life...

Here. Have a potato. I stabbed it through, I’m a good hunter, I can provide food for our family, aren’t I good? (Xue Yang’s inner cat shining through)

Give HIM the tatoes, motherfucker.

Look at him, he’s so happy!! What a reliable husband you found, Xiao Xingchen. What a beautiful person. Always so helpful.

Aw, yeah! Just another day of being Evil™ making my enemy the happiest man east of the Yangtze river.

MDZS Fanon VS Canon: 3/?

Xiao Xingchen is a bad cook

Rating: FANON – UNSUPPORTED

It seems to be a popular trope in Yi City-centered fanfiction to make Xiao Xingchen a bad cook. However, nothing in the book concretely states that Xiao Xingchen is either good or bad at cooking.

One of the only passages that directly mentions Xiao Xingchen in relation to food is this one, from Wei Wuxian's Empathy session:

Xiao Xingchen took care of their food and board in Yi City. Being blind, he couldn't pick out good vegetables and was too abashed to haggle prices. (Seven Seas Ch. 8, p. 129)

In the Exiled Rebels translation, the first sentence is translated as:

Xiao XingChen had always been responsible for the three's meals. (ExR Ch. 40)

From this we know that Xiao Xingchen takes care of meal preparation, and that the ingredients he uses are often subpar. However, we are never shown Xiao Xingchen's process for cooking, and nothing in this passage indicates that the use of bad vegetables drastically impacts the taste of his food.

Later, A-Qing shares a tense meal with Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen, but although she pretends not to be hungry, there is no mention of the food's taste.

Too frightened to eat, she conveniently pretended to have lost her appetite from anger. She spat out every mouthful she took, pushing the bowl around hard, mumbling strings of curses under her breath. (Seven Seas Ch. 8, p. 143)

However, there are other reasons why she may not have mentioned the taste of the food; in this scene, A-Qing is preoccupied with the realization that Xue Yang is a notorious criminal and her furious/indignant act, and not whether the food is cooked well. Wei Wuxian also never mentions the taste of the food in his narration, despite being able to feel A-Qing's senses, but it's not unlikely that he simply didn't deem that information relevant.

We do know that when Xue Yang is confronted with Wei Wuxian's food, which multiple characters are unable to eat, he reacts negatively:

However, when he lowered his head and partook, the corners of his lips started to twitch. It was only by firmly pursing his lips that he managed to not bring it right back up. . . . "However, upon further consideration... if I must eat this every day, then I choose death." (Seven Seas Ch. 8, p. 64-65)

But when he eats with Xiao Xingchen and A-Qing, he does not have any reaction, whether positive or negative.

The neutrality with which the characters interact with Xiao Xingchen's cooking imply that he is at least a passable chef, and I believe it is highly unlikely that he's bad at cooking, but there is nothing in the text that directly contradicts this by stating that he is good at it.
