"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."

Jiaoqiu (Chinese: 椒丘) is a playable character in Honkai: Star Rail.

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. He invented a cauldron-based medicinal formula known as the "nine-squared grid."
