After the host had introduced all of the participants, they put on their uniforms and began to record.
The show could be divided into six sections, and it began with the first one which was titled Home Cooking. The first section required each participant to create a home dish that they could never forget.
Since Xu Xiyan was born and raised in Peijing, the first food she could think of was Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish in Squirrel Shape.
Since the other participants all came from different parts of Zstan, there were all sorts of local dishes being prepared and Shen Mengyuan had prepared a dish called Golden Yellow Croaker.
Since Xu Xiyan and Shen Mengyuan were the only two that prepared fish dishes, they became aware of each other's dishes.
Shen Mengyuan peeked at Xu Xiyan and smiled like she had already won the competition.
