The next day, Lu Xinyi together with her team stepped inside a special kitchen, fully prepared to fulfill the orders for lunch. Their Silver Leaf black uniforms were replaced with professional white chef uniforms with neckties representing the team they were in.
It was six in the morning, and most students were still half-asleep, following the others as they made way to their counters.
The kitchen was divided into three sets. Each team had the same tool and cooking wares that the others had.
For the first day of the team battle, the theme was chicken. Three teams would offer one takeout dish with chicken as their main ingredient. The Green Team led by Tang Liang chose the popular General Tso's chicken remaster while Yan Chen's team picked the Kung Pao Chicken as their dish of the day.
