Early the next morning, Lin Shen and his group, along with Han Mengci, arrived at the competition venue. There were six simple stoves set up, alongside a raised platform featuring a large table holding six unplucked chickens, various vegetables and meats, and even some medicinal herbs used for health tonics.
