The venue for this first beer competition held in China was the Starlight Park Convention Center The judging panel consisted of more than 40 judges from eight countries.
ABA TV station also sent reporters to report on the competition. Judging from the pictures sent back from the scene, everyone's enthusiasm was very high.
As the boss, Zhou Keye also came in person. Chen Zui naturally didn't want him to meet Zhen Tian alone, but since he had to rehearse for this year's ABA New Year's Eve concert he couldn’t be there.
So he sent Chen Yiran over.
A child appearing in a beer competition will naturally draw attention. Zhen Tian kept him by her side at all times in case he secretly stole a drink while she wasn’t paying attention.
"Auntie, how is beer brewed?" Chen Yiran acted like a curious child, but his real purpose was to prevent Zhou Keye from talking to his aunt.
Zhen Tian said, "Oh, it is a very complicated process. We have to start with the selection of barley."
Chen Yiran asked, "Is all beer brewed with barley? Why not use wheat?"
Zhen Tian said, "Because wheat is used to make bread."
Chen Yiran, “....”
Don’t think he is easy to fool just because he is young and hasn’t learned much. There is obviously a kind of alcohol in this world called wheat beer.
"What about after the barley is selected?"
"After selecting the barley, you need to grind the barley, then add water to create a mash, then comes the wort boiling process, followed by adding hops and other extra ingredients. How long to boil and what hops to add depends on your recipe. And then according to the different fermentation methods, you can brew different kinds of beer.”
Chen Yiran was already getting dizzy. The result of the competition has not been announced yet, so he must persevere until the end.
The evaluation process of the competition was relatively long. Zhen Tian participated in the non-alcoholic category. There were more than 30 beers in total. It took about an hour for the judges to score ten beers each time.
After Chen Yiran learned about the fermentation methods of ale, lager, and lambic, the result finally came out.
On behalf of Zhou Keye’s brewery, Zhen Tian won the gold medal in the non-alcoholic category with "Good Morning at 6 AM."
"Congratulations." Zhou Keye was also very happy with this result and walked up to shake hands with Zhen Tian to express his congratulations. Chen Yiran quickly held his hand and said to him, "Thank you."
Zhen Tian glanced at Chen Yiran, and Chen Yiran withdrew his hand embarrassingly with a smile. Zhen Tian patted his head, and said to Zhou Keye, "Thank you."
The hand was not shaken.
Zhou Keye also withdrew his hand and looked at her, "We still have to wait on results for the other categories. I will stay for a while."
"Okay, you can go up to receive the prize later. After all, I just did my part to represent the brewery. I will take Shanshan back first." Chen Yiran is still a child after all. After staying here for several hours, there is no patience left.
Zhou Keye nodded and did not try to persuade her to stay. However, Zhen Tian, who was the gold medal winner of the category, could not leave so easily. Soon a reporter heard the news and came to interview her. The ABA reporter ran ahead and handed her the microphone first. Zhen Tian may not know him, but he does know Zhen Tian.
Currently, no one in ABA doesn’t know Anchor Chen’s marriage partner.
When Zhen Tian saw the ABA reporter, she also felt that he was more cordial than other reporters, so she basically answered his questions. The reporter asked her, "Where did you get the inspiration for this beer from? “Good morning at 6 AM,” what does it mean?"
"I originally wanted to brew this beer for my boyfriend, and the name of the beer was also chosen because of the nature of his work."
"..." The reporter understood. Anchor Chen hosts the morning news at 6 o'clock every morning. Isn't the first thing he says on the news "Good morning!"
Why did he run so fast just now to come and eat this dog food?
Due to his professionalism, the reporter insisted on finishing the interview. After the interview, Zhen Tian finally left with Chen Yiran.
In this competition, Zhou Keye's brewery has reaped a lot. In addition to Zhen Tian's gold medal in the non-alcoholic category, they also won a gold medal for the IPA category, which is their specialty, and a silver medal for another.
Zhou Keye called Zhen Tian and wanted to invite her to the celebration banquet.
Chen Zui answered the phone, "Mr. Zhou, why are you calling so late?"
Zhou Keye was taken aback for a moment. His tone was as cold as Chen Zui's, "This is Zhen Tian's phone, right? Even if you are going to get married, you shouldn't answer her call."
Chen Zui said, "She is taking a shower. I asked her just now, and she asked me to pick it up for her."
Perhaps this sentence was too lethal, Zhou Keye was rendered silent for a while before, "Mr. Chen, don't you think you are very immature?"
Chen Zui said without any shame, "I'm very immature when it comes to Zhen Tian. What's more, what I just said is true."
Zhou Keye didn't seem to want to talk to him anymore, so he directly stated his intention, "We have a celebration banquet tonight, is Zhen Tian going to attend?"
"She has already washed up. She probably won't go out again, but I will convey it to her."
"Alright then, goodbye." Zhou Keye hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Zhen Tian came out of the shower and asked Chen Zui while drying his hair, "What did Zhou Keye call about just now?"
"He said there was a celebration banquet tonight, and asked if you are going to go."
"Ah, I've already taken a shower, so I don't really want to go out."
"That's what I told him too."
Zhen Tian, "..."
So, did he just tell Zhou Keye that she was taking a shower?
Although she was indeed taking a shower, it is too ambiguous to say this!
"What's wrong?" Chen Zui hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and looked at her.
Zhen Tian, "..."
It's too hateful to seduce her with his beauty.
"Today Shanshan was sent to his grandparents' house again, so I knew you had no good intentions." Zhen Tian looked at him sideways, her warm breath brushed Chen Zui's cheeks. He couldn't help leaning closer and kissing Zhen Tian's lips. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "My parents miss their grandson, what's wrong with letting him stay over there?"
Zhen Tian really wanted to roll her eyes, "Let me tell you, Shanshan is very smart. If this goes on, every time he goes to his grandparents’ house, he will know what we are doing!"
Chen Zui chuckled, “What are we doing? This?”
His hands became restless. Zhen Tian resisted a little at first, but finally softened under Chen Zui's attack, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
On the last auspicious day of the year, Zhen Tian and Chen Zui finally got their certificates and became a legal couple protected by law. Chen Zui asked for a marriage leave in February of next year which coincides with the Lunar New Year.
The next day after receiving their certificate, Chen Zui brought a large bag of wedding candy with him on his way to work. He distributed it to everyone he saw, including the cleaning lady.
The TV station is very busy at the end of the year, but today is extraordinarily festive. Perhaps happiness can really infect people. The colleagues who were working overtime today all have the taste of happy dog food.
Chen Zui now has two shows on his hands, and he is also going to be the host of this year's New Year's Eve concert. He is also very busy.
This is the first time he is hosting a New Year's Eve concert. Both he and the station attach great importance to it. ABA's New Year's Eve concert is very grand, and it ranks first in the ratings out of all major TV station's New Year's Eve concerts every year. For such a large-scale program, Chen Zui was still a little nervous. However, the good thing was that he got tickets for Zhen Tian and Ms. Wang Shuzhen, and the seats were located in a good spot.
The star lineup for ABA's New Year's Eve concert has been very strong over the years. Zhen Tian jumped up happily when she received the tickets while Ms. Wang Shuzhen called Aunt Liao to accompany her to buy clothes and get her nails done.
Since gaining Chen Zui as her son-in-law, Ms. Wang Shuzhen bought clothes and got her nails done more frequently.
On the day of the New Year's Eve concert, Zhen Tian and Ms. Wang Shuzhen arrived at the venue early. Before they arrived, there was already a big quarrel on Weibo because of the fans fighting for railing space to support their idol. Now that they arrived on the scene, they could feel the tension in the air.
The various fan signs and banners divided the venue into different camps, and the atmosphere between fans was tense. Fortunately, Zhen Tian and Ms. Wang Shuzhen were sitting in the internal staff area, so they didn't have to feel the tension among the fans.
"Mom, you wait here, I'll go find Chen Zui." Zhen Tian was texting Chen Zui just now. He said he was backstage and asked her to go look for him directly.
Go, go, you young people are really something. You can't do without seeing each other for a second.”
Then don't run around, you might not be able to get out if you get caught between the fan camps."
Ms. Wang Shuzhen, "..."
Are all star-chasing girls this scary now?
Zhen Tian went backstage to find Chen Zui, who was still getting his makeup done. Because he was hosting a celebration, Chen Zui's suit was much more flamboyant than the ones he wear for the news. Zhen Tian touched the corsage on the pocket of his suit and said with a smile, "Yo, tonight's appearance is so charming. So flirty."
Chen Zui grabbed her hand and held it in the palm of his hand, "Then you like me being so charming. Do you think it’s flirtatious?"
"It's not bad."
The makeup artist felt that she couldn't hold the foundation brush in her hand.
Just now she complained to the director that she didn't eat enough tonight, but now she’s full.
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of spectators outside. A lot of fans are here, are you nervous?" Zhen Tian looked at Chen Zui and asked.
"It's impossible not to be nervous. Wu Qing and the others have hosted the New Year's Eve concert for so many years, and they still get a little nervous every time they go on stage."
Zhen Tian nodded and comforted, "It's okay, relax. Besides, the audience is here to see their idols, the host is not important!"
Chen Zui, "..."
What an unusual encouragement.
The two chatted for a while before Zhen Tian returned to the seating area. The concert started on time at eight o'clock. When Chen Zui took the stage, there were actually quite a few audience members shouting his name while holding up light signs.
Hmm... It seems that Zui’er has some importance.
During the whole concert, Zhen Tian once again experienced the ability of fan support. The entire venue was like a large-scale light show. But the biggest winner of this New Year's Eve is undoubtedly Li Shen.
Because his fans directly hung a banner on the railing outside the VIP room, no one can move it away.
It’s good to be rich.
With the joint efforts of the singers and the host, the concert that lasted more than four hours smoothly came to an end, and everyone ushered in a new year together.
On the first day of the new year, Chen Zui, a well-known ABA anchor, posted a pair of marriage certificates on his personal Weibo.
ABA Chen Zui: New year, a new beginning. In the past year, my biggest achievement is my wife.
Fans: ??? What???
New year, new dog food. :)
