Putting Competition Aside, 8 Friends Come Together to Cook Up a Storm for Tomorrow's Reunion Dinner! The end of the journey is near as New Year approaches. The team joins forces to prepare for tomorrow's reunion dinner. The farm owner, Lin Shaoxiong, has created a unique challenge that includes a range of tasks: the full house of gold and jade (rice field), the rolling source of wealth (vegetable garden), dominance (crab), a fish out of water (fishing), and fruit-picking. The team members get to choose their favorite task, and this time the three girls Meiyu, Lingling, and Miko finally work together. Each group takes on a task, utilizing their individual experiences to get the job done.

The farm owner, Lin Shaoxiong, took a leap of faith and gave up his promising corporate career to grow vegetables when he was young, even though he faced opposition from powerful forces.
Kevin, Caven, and Danny, who were assigned to the "abundant source of wealth" task, followed Mr. Lin to the vegetable garden where they learned about his inspiring story. They found out that Mr. Lin had been a successful company manager at a young age, but due to a dispute with shareholders, he lost everything. Instead of succumbing to defeat, he found purpose in growing vegetables and rebuilt his life with determination and resilience.

The three of them were amazed by the owner's positive attitude towards life's challenges and took away valuable lessons about optimism and problem-solving.
