Sorry for the late update! ――

Walking into the restaurant called Vinkeles, Qin Xiong was surprised to see that it was not him and Sneijder for dinner, and three teammates were sitting at the table waiting for them in advance.

Stekelenberg, Heitinga, De Jong.

The first team played a game today, perhaps because the opponents were not strong, and the players will look happy in the dressing room, but not as excited as children, but after leaving the club, many players will end the day with a delicious dinner.

Dinner was initiated by Sneijder and Heitinga, and of course, if it was happy, Stekelenberg and De Jong were calm because they didn't play.

Qin Xiong said a simple hello to his teammates and immediately took a seat.

Stekelenberg had already opened the menu and placed an order, and the waiter standing at the table deliberately glanced at Qin Xiong twice, but his expression remained the same.

Maybe Qin Xiong is different.

The other four are all Europeans, Qin Xiong is Asian, and the other four are dressed casually, so they can't say how tall they are, at least they feel comfortable and fashionable, and Qin Xiong, wearing cheap sportswear, is really incompatible with this dining environment.

But the waiter didn't say anything, that is, he instinctively looked at it twice, and when it was Qin Xiong's turn to order, he would still ask Qin Xiong what he wanted to eat with a smile on his face, and recommend the restaurant's signature dishes today.

Qin Xiong flipped through the menu, only then did he know that this was a French-style restaurant, and then, seeing the price of the dishes, he directly turned his head to Snead and said, "The dishes here are too expensive, I can't afford to eat them." ”

Stekelenberg was probably the third to place an order, De Jong and Heitinga both ordered, and referring to Stekelenberg's standard for ordering, Qin Xiong found that this meal, just his personal consumption exceeded 400 euros.

After all, this kind of restaurant is not a dish to win by quantity, but exquisite pursuit, just look at a large plate in the picture, there is half a palm-sized food, the amount of food for athletes, not to mention four or five dishes, really open the belly to eat, it is estimated that more than a dozen dishes are not a problem.

Besides, Stekelenberg didn't play, and this dinner was a normal amount of food, and although Qin Xiong's consumption was not large, he would certainly have a much stronger desire to eat after 30 minutes of intense competition.

Here, I can't afford to eat it.

The other four teammates were dumbfounded.

It's not that he was surprised that Qin Xiong "couldn't afford to eat", Sneijder called Qin Xiong over, and planned to invite him to dinner, but he didn't explain it in advance.

Instead, Qin Xiong said it openly, as if they were all "implicated" all of a sudden, as if they were all slapping their swollen faces and becoming fat to consume.

When he came to his senses, Sneijder smiled helplessly.

Qin Xiong's uprightness makes people angry and laughing.

The waiter couldn't help but smile on the side, and he didn't despise Qin Xiong, looking at his clothes, the first impression should be that he couldn't afford to spend in this kind of high-end restaurant.

"You can order whatever you want, I invite you, don't worry."

Sneijder smiled and shook his head.

Qin Xiong said again: "But it's really expensive here, I'm sorry to let you break the bank." ”

Snead said helplessly: "Then when you have money in the future, just invite me, okay, don't delay any longer, hurry up and order food." ”

Qin Xiong sighed, and then really started to order, he was quite sincere, he wanted to eat whatever he wanted, avoiding meat, greasy and desserts, although it was still light, but he ordered a lot.

This is the first time Qin Xiong has eaten in such an elegant and high-end restaurant, he seems curious, looking around, the other guests eat quietly, the atmosphere is relatively quiet, which has a certain impact on his concept of life in Europe.

Because like Freddie spent 5 euros in the supermarket to buy a roast chicken and bring back a dozen beers, in the apartment while watching the game video on the computer while drinking wine and eating meat, Qin Xiong felt that it was a "luxury", usually in De Coyze's restaurant, 10 euros per capita is basically the sky, if you want to save, go to the supermarket, a pound of bread only 5 cents, well, 0.5 euros.

Sneijder was the last to place an order, and De Jong sat on Qin Xiong's right hand, and he asked curiously: "What is the treatment of the contract that the club gave you?" ”

Qin Xiong replied frankly: "The weekly salary is 200, 150 games, 100 goals, and 50 assists."

Originally, there was a weekly salary clause in his contract.

Although Freddie did not ask Ajax for a "dead salary" increase, he took a strong attitude and added other bonus clauses.

Probably at that time, Ajax didn't think that Qin Xiong would be able to play for the Ajax first team many times in the next two years, but take a step back, even if he played.

It should also be Ajax's big money!

After all, among the players who played on behalf of the first team, Qin Xiong got all the bonuses, which was not as good as the basic salary of other players.

De Jong nodded, it's not too surprising, the young player is neither an EU player, nor does he have an Ajax youth training background, Qin Xiong's treatment is good.

Qin Xiong also asked De Jong curiously: "What about you?" ”

De Jong shrugged and said: "2,000 a week, 1,000 more for playing, no other bonuses, look at what happens to this season's table, next spring, you have to renegotiate the contract with the club." ”

His contract began in 2000, and three years have passed, although the weekly salary at that time was much less, and it was increased with the contract every year, but now, De Jong is still dissatisfied.

Qin Xiong turned his head again and asked Sneijder, the friend who invited him to dinner today, wondered if he was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat.

Sneijder handed the menu to the waiter, and finally added a bottle of red wine, and said to Qin Xiong: "I earn 2,400 a week, 700 more games, assists, and 100 more, by the way, all four of us are about the same." ”

The four people Sneijder said were, of course, excluding Qin Xiong, Stekelenberg, De Jong, Heitinga, and himself.

Qin Xiong was relieved, according to their income level, although it was impossible to come to this kind of restaurant every day, they would come once a week, there was no financial pressure, and if they played on the day of the game, they would steadily earn more than 700.

He thought for a moment and said to Sneijder, "I don't make much, so the next time I want to invite you to dinner, it may be a long time." ”

Sneijder smiled and nodded, not at all reassured.

The restaurant service is very thoughtful, the waiter is not sloppy in serving, who ordered what dish, remember clearly, when everyone was ready to start, Qin Xiong declined the red wine, and Sneijder They did not force it.

In general, professional athletes, smoking is very bad, because there is no benefit to physical health at all, especially damage to the lungs, and the impact on motor function is the most direct.

But alcohol is less restrictive.

While it is true that there are examples in professional football where Gascoigne's alcoholic habit eventually dominates a certain factor and ruins his history, before 2000, it was normal for athletes to drink alcohol, as when Arsene Wenger first went to Arsenal, the first thing he did in training every day was to run the whole team around the pitch in order to get the alcohol off most of the team's players, or simply use sports to sober up

Now there is also a saying that drinking alcohol in moderation is good for the body, so it is normal for athletes to drink a little alcohol.

However, Qin Xiong has not smoked or drunk since he was a child, and he has developed a habit, no matter whether the wine is good or not, he is not interested in trying it, and he can't talk about the precepts, it is just a habit.

Although the restaurant is very high-end, these players are really not literate, and even fight like elementary school students after eating.

Qin Xiong thought that Sneijder and Stekelenberg had the best relationship, but he didn't expect that Sneijder and Heitinga would crumple up napkins and smash each other into each other, which was very childish, but it could be seen that they had a very good relationship.

If you think about it, you know.

The four Dutchmen are grouped into age echelons according to the Ajax youth system, the oldest of these four Dutchmen is 20 years old, and the youngest is 18 years old, and they will be placed in the same group as they grow up, but Sneijder and Heitinga are both 19 years old, which means that they are usually partners in the same echelon for training for a long time.

In addition, the two of them entered the Ajax academy very early, and they have known each other for almost ten years, which is rare, and Qin Xiong also deeply understands this.

Because of growing up in this competitive environment, this year's partners may disappear next year, and the faces around them change frequently, and there are only a handful of people who can remain the same and accompany each other, and this friendship is indeed very precious.

The dinner ended with a fight between Snead and his best friend Heitinga, for which Sneijder also gave the waiter a little more tip, and then he drove Qin Xiong back to Wardle Street. I1153
