#* The one who finishes first will be named in this step, regardless of which version is selected. This step occurs as soon as the first person finishes, immediately ending and skipping any unfinished steps.
#*The player can take measures to ensure that the character they choose to support will win:
#**After helping the selected character adjust their heat, the player is tasked with harvesting fresh ingredients. Instead of immediately submitting the ingredients, the player can delay submission until their character's progress meter is 80% or greater. Submitting the ingredients after this point should immediately increase the meter to the 100% mark, ensuring victory.
#**If the opponent is about to win, the player may exit the game before victory is reached. Exiting the game will reset the commission's progress back to the beginning, allowing the player to try to win again.

;(Talk to Xudong or Kamei Munehisa)
:Xudong: Get ready now, this dish is going to be amazing!
:Kamei Munehisa: My dish shall be similarly fantastic, so prepare yourself.
: What are you two doing?
:Xudong: Hello, Traveler. Parvaneh and Julie are out gathering ingredients, and we were supposed to prepare a meal for them...
:Xudong: But Uncle Munehisa and I had a minor disagreement about what to prepare.
:Xudong: So we decided to each come up with a dish for a competition. The winner will get to set the theme for today's meals.
:Xudong: I'm making one of Liyue's specialties, Jewelry Soup.
:Kamei Munehisa: And I shall make my best dish, Tri-Flavored Skewer.
: Any way I can help?
::Xudong: Well, if you have time, we do need a judge...
: I suppose you're short one judge, then.
::Xudong: Hahaha, that's right. We need a judge to try them.
:Xudong: But since both of us need to prepare four servings of each dish despite only having two hands, we are a little overwhelmed.
:Xudong: You can help us prepare the food before the judging begins.
:Xudong: And of course, you can pick what dish to help with, since you are only one person.
: Xudong, will you be able to handle it alone?
::Xudong: Don't worry about me. I used to run a restaurant in Liyue, so it's not hard for me to prepare a meal.
::Xudong: That said, with a little help, I could make the food even better.
: Uncle Munehisa, will you be able to handle it alone?
::Kamei Munehisa: Don't worry. Just pick whoever you prefer. When I was in the Shogunate, I used to prepare meals for a lot of people all by myself. This is just four servings.
::Kamei Munehisa: But if you want to help me, I'm sure I can make the dish even better.
:Xudong: Anyway, just pick a dish that interests you.
: Xudong, I'll help you.
::Xudong: Oh! That's great, Uncle Munehisa, be prepared to be defeated by my dish!
::Kamei Munehisa: I am not a man who gives up easily. Go ahead and do your best.
:;(Go to Xudong's version)
: Uncle Munehisa, I'll help you out.
::Kamei Munehisa: Thank you, Xudong, be prepared.
::Xudong: No problem. Go ahead and do your best.
:;(Start of Kamei Munehisa's version)
===Xudong's Version===
:Xudong: Traveler, check the fire for me. Don't let it get too low, or the ingredients won't be able to stew to taste!
;(Interact with the cooking pot to turn up the fire and then talk to Xudong)
:Xudong: Then let's get started. Jewelry Soup requires Snapdragon, Tofu, and Lotus Heads...
:Xudong: Lotus Heads and Tofu... Luckily, there's still some left. But there's not enough Snapdragon...
:Xudong: Traveler, I'll be handling the ingredients. Just in case, can you please get me three more servings of Fresh Snapdragon?
;(Pick up the three Fresh Snapdragons in the waterfall and return to Xudong)
:Xudong: How did it go? Did you get some Snapdragon?
;(Turn in the Fresh Snapdragons)
===Kamei Munehisa's Version===
:Kamei Munehisa: Traveler, would you watch the fire for me? If the fire is too strong, the ingredients will be burnt.
;(Interact with the cooking pot to turn down the fire and then talk to Kamei Munehisa)
:Kamei Munehisa: Thank you for your willingness to help. Tri-Flavored Skewer is simple to prepare, but it requires extra attention to the freshness of the ingredients.
:Kamei Munehisa: I've gotten enough of every ingredient except Bird Eggs... Could you please fetch two fresh eggs for me, just in case?
: I'll take care of it.
::Kamei Munehisa: Thank you.
: How did you learn to make this?
::Kamei Munehisa: When I was still serving in the Shogunate, I used to make this sort of small dish to go with wine.
::Kamei Munehisa: But now...
::Kamei Munehisa: Anyway, let's not talk about the past. I'm counting on you for the Bird Eggs.
::Kamei Munehisa: I will be dealing with the ingredients here. Please bring the Bird Eggs to me as soon as you have them.
;(Obtain two Fresh Bird Eggs from the side of the archway and return to Kamei Munehisa)
:Kamei Munehisa: How did it go? Did you get Bird Eggs?
;(Turn in the Fresh Bird Eggs)
===Xudong Finishing First===
:Xudong: Okay... It's done!
:Kamei Munehisa: I'm a step behind...
;(Talk to Kamei Munehisa or Xudong)
:Xudong: Done. Thank you, Traveler. It smells so good.
:Xudong: I'll try it first... Wow, that's great. The ingredients are cooked just right and it smells perfect.
:Xudong: You could even call this a "Perfect Jewelry Soup."
:Xudong: Okay, Uncle Munehisa, how's your cooking going? Ready to show it to the Traveler?
:Kamei Munehisa: Well... I made a mistake. I realized that I didn't have enough Bird Eggs right after I started.
:Kamei Munehisa: Although I did immediately go to get some Bird Eggs from the woods, the other ingredients were past their best by then.
:Kamei Munehisa: Tri-Flavored Skewers made with ingredients that aren't fresh can no longer be considered a good meal.
:Kamei Munehisa: I am ashamed to have been so negligent. I need to refine my skills more.
:Kamei Munehisa: You win this time. But next time, Xudong, I will definitely beat you.
: That's the spirit, Uncle.
::Xudong: Haha, I promise that I won't be an easy opponent.
::Xudong: By the way Traveler, these are for you. Thank you for helping us all this time.
::Xudong: Make sure to come next time we compete, too.
: Actually, I think it tastes alright...
::Kamei Munehisa: I am not satisfied with just "alright." Even in cooking, one has to have the heart to pursue perfection.
::Kamei Munehisa: This is the only way to become a master of the art of cooking.
::Xudong: Ah, I see. Exactly... That's exactly it!
:: That's right!
::Kamei Munehisa: The art of the sword and the art of cooking are the same in this regard, and to me, they are both part of the art of existence.
::Xudong: Great! Uh, way to go, Uncle Munehisa... I believe in you. Yeah...
::Xudong: Uh... I have no idea how to deal with someone who is so... serious. I guess only Julie can, but she's not here right now...
:: Honestly, I'm pretty shocked too.
::Xudong: *cough* Well, thank you for your hard work, Traveler. Please take these. I—
::Kamei Munehisa: Xudong, I'd like to ask you a few more questions about cooking. Do you have a moment?
::Xudong: Huh? Oh, right, yes! I'll be there! I'll be right there...
===Kamei Munehisa Finishing First===
:Kamei Munehisa: Now it's... done.
:Xudong: Oh no... I'm one step behind...
;(Talk to Kamei Munehisa or Xudong)
:Kamei Munehisa: Hmm. The smell and how it looks... these Three Flavored Skewers should be called Extreme Skewers instead!
: Extreme... Skewers?
:Kamei Munehisa: Hehe, I simply mean that it's a perfect dish... Well, would you look at the time. Xudong's Jewelry Soup should be ready now.
:Xudong: Of course! Here is my Jewelry Soup.
:Xudong: It might be a bit overcooked because I didn't handle the timing perfectly, but the taste should be fine.
:Kamei Munehisa: Let me taste it.
:Kamei Munehisa: Well, it does have a slightly burnt taste. It's not bad enough to ruin the whole pot, but it is still a flaw in the end.
:Xudong: Hahaha, I was in a hurry this time. Next time, I'll prepare all the ingredients in advance, so this won't happen.
:Xudong: You win this time, but rest assured that I won't make the same mistake next time.
: Seems like you got careless.
::Xudong: Hahaha... Yeah, I was careless. I'll have to be more mindful next time...
::Xudong: By the way Traveler, these are for you. Thank you for helping us all this time.
::Xudong: Make sure to come next time we compete, too.
: Uncle Munehisa's Extreme Skewers have won the day.
::Xudong: Extreme Skewers? What does that mean?
::Kamei Munehisa: It means that these Tri-Flavored Skewer are of perfect quality.
::Kamei Munehisa: To have an "extreme" pursuit means that your heart can never satisfied with mere "acceptability." Instead, the highest perfection is the goal.
::Kamei Munehisa: Even in cooking, one must have the heart to pursue perfection. This is the only way to become a master of the art of cooking.
::Xudong: Ah, I see. Exactly... That's exactly it!
:: That's right!
::Kamei Munehisa: The art of the sword and the art of cooking are the same in this regard, and to me, they are both part of the art of existence.
::Kamei Munehisa: Come, Xudong. Allow me to tell you about the "extreme" path.
::Xudong: Huh? O—Okay. Just give me a second, I'll be right there. Traveler, here is your payment...
::Xudong: Uh... I have no idea how to deal with someone who is so... serious. I guess only Julie can, but she's not here right now...
:: Just go get the Extreme Cookery experience.
::Kamei Munehisa: Xudong?
::Xudong: Huh? I'm coming. Just a second! I'll be right there...
