Chapter 240: Bartender Zhou Yi
When Zhou Yi finally entered the bar, he saw the captain Kyle at a glance, and he was greeting him inside: "Come on, Zhou Yi, here!"
After Zhou Yi entered, he found that in addition to him and Kyle, there were three other people: Grosskloitz, Weidenfeller, and Hummels. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info plus him and Kyle, a total of five people.
These five people are today's bartenders.
"Just the five of us?" Zhou Yi asked.
"That's right. β
Zhou Yi thought of the fans he saw outside the stadium, and he was a little surprised: "But there seem to be a lot of fans......
"It's okay, our time is two and a half hours, and we can host as many fans as we can in those two and a half hours. Come on, let's familiarize yourself with the operation first. Kyle brought Zhou Yi to the machine and told him how to fill beer, how to froth, and how to deal with the fans' requests.
"If they want you to sign it, remember to give them the wine before you sign it. You can't sign it first, and then the order will be messed up. If someone wants to take a picture with you and you can't step out of the bar area, you can lean out and put your head next to them. If they want to chat with you, they can do so without affecting their normal work. But remember not to talk to one person for a long time. β
Zhou Yi nodded as he listened.
"By the way, our beer here is seven euros a liter. β
"I know, Captain, I've bought beer here. Zhou Yi said.
"Looks like you like to drink too!" Kyle laughed.
Zhou Yi is not easy to refute, so he can only choose to default.
Finally Kyle asked, "Do you understand?"
Zhou Yi said that he understood.
"Okay, you can practice again...... Kyle looked up at his watch, "fifteen minutes to go, and our bar will open." β
So Zhou Yi took a beer mug and practiced on the machine.
Speaking of which, this is his first time working as a bartender, and it is full of freshness.
According to what Kyle said, the machine is very simple to operate, there is no difficulty, and Zhou Yi is a smart person, so he learned it quickly. He even practiced while chatting with Grosskloitz next to him.
It's not too hard for him to do two things.
Grosskloitz also praised Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, I think if you can't get along on the court, you can also be a bartender, you can't starve to death anyway!"
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: "I thank you, uncle!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm your mentor in life!"
"Huh. β

After the practice, the time is up.
The bar on Dortmund's home ground has officially opened its doors.
Although there were many fans, they were in good order, and they did not rush up, but lined up at the door, and then entered in order.
Zhou Yi began to enter the state of a waiter, and a smile appeared on his face.
Soon someone came up to him, and he smiled and asked, "Welcome, would you like a beer?"
"Bring me a drink!"
"Okay, wait a minute. Zhou Yi turned around and went to operate.
Soon he turned around with a glass full of beer, intending to hand it to the fan, but when he came, he was startled - there was a person just now, and now in front of his position, it was already crowded!
"I want a drink too!"
"I want a drink!"
"I want two!"
......
These people raised their hands and shouted at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi hurriedly handed the wine glass in his hand to the first customer, who still wanted to sign it, but Zhou Yi didn't care about it at all, he said to him, "Sorry, wait a minute, ......" and turned around to get busy.
Serving more than a dozen people at the same time, Zhou Yi's inexperienced weakness was revealed, making him scramble.
Fortunately, this is a bar, not a cafΓ©, otherwise just some cappuccino, latte, mocha and the like are enough to make Zhou Yi dizzy......
And now all he needs is a beer, a beer, and a beer......
However, Zhou Yi is a smart child after all, and after being in a hurry for a while, he quickly found a suitable way to deal with the current situation.
He doesn't greet guests one by one, but six guests in one go, because there are two operable beer pans behind him, and he can pick up six beers at the same time.
At the same time, he was able to find time to sign autographs for the waiting fans while the six beers were served.
After fifteen minutes, he was able to cope with it, given the limited space of the bar and the fact that it was divided by five Dortmund players, there was a limit to the number of fans that could fit in front of each person.
Now Zhou Yi can still chat with everyone while signing autographs and receiving wine.
There are a lot of fans who come to him, because his recent performances in the team have been so dazzling and so good. Zhou Yi is now the most popular player.
Service, signature, Zhou Yi was very busy.
He even saw "Daddy" and his companions.
"Look! I said that Zhou Yi will definitely come!" Bruno, who was dressed like he was going to watch a game, pointed at Zhou Yi and smiled.
Zhou Yi wiped the bar counter with water with a towel and asked, "Welcome, 'Dad', what do you want?"
"Bring me a beer, Zhou Yi!" Bruno waved.
"We want it too!" the others raised their hands.
"Okay, wait a minute. Zhou Yi turned around and went to fetch them beer.
When Bruno took a sip of beer, he sighed: "I really didn't expect that I could also drink the beer served by Zhou Yi himself!"
"What's the difference between the taste and the peace you usually drink, 'Daddy'?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Hmm......" Bruno closed his eyes, as if he was savoring carefully, and then opened his eyes and said to Zhou Yi: "You are still more promising to play football, Zhou Yi!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhou Yi also smiled: "I think so!"
Then he pulled out an autograph for everyone.
"Kick well, we'll cheer you on in the South Stand!" "Daddy" Bruno encouraged Zhou Yidao when he took the autograph.
"I will, 'Daddy'. β
"Also, when are you going to play the whole game? I noticed that you were substituted in both games after 60 minutes. β
Zhou Yi shook his head: "I don't know about this, but I will work hard, 'Dad'." β
"Come on, good luck, Zhou Yi. β
Bruno took his people away, after all, there was limited space in the bar, and there were still many people outside who wanted to come in, so it was impossible to keep the people inside from going out all the time.

It's just like that, and I'm so busy that time flies.
Two and a half hours passed before I knew it.
When the door of the bar was closed again, and there was no longer a single fan customer inside, Zhou Yicai felt that his arm was sore......
"It's more tiring than training!" he said, shaking his arm.
"That's why I said it would be a little hard. Kyle laughed. "And who's been making you so good lately? You're the most popular of us. β
"Yes. To be honest, I'm a little jealous. Grosskloitz said.
"I knew I was going to give you an order, uncle. Zhou Yi glanced at Grosskloitz, it was really typical to stand and talk without back pain.
"That's what popularity is, okay. Let's go back and rest, we still have to train tomorrow!" Captain Kyle clapped his hands, "Everyone has worked hard today!"
Then he asked Zhou Yi: "How did you come, Zhou Yi?"
"By taxi. β
"At that moment, you take my car, and I'll send you back. β
"This ...... By the way?" Zhou Yi didn't want to trouble the captain.
"It doesn't matter if it's going well or not. β
"Then I thank you, Captain. β
"You're welcome. Kyle smiled at Zhou Yi.
As the captain of the team, Sebastian Kyle is quite competent.

The next day, Zhou Yi returned to the team and began to follow the team for normal training.
In the next round of the league, Dortmund's opponent is Freiburg.
Zhou Yi is familiar with Freiburg's youth team, which was their opponent in the final of the German Youth Cup when he was in Borussia Dortmund.
For Freiburg's senior team, Zhou Yi doesn't know much.
In this round of the league, Zhou Yi still started.
However, there were no assists and no goals, and he was substituted in the 70th minute. Probably the biggest takeaway for him is that he played seven or eight minutes more than in the previous two games, which means he is a little bit better fit.
And Dortmund beat Freiburg 1-0 at home thanks to Barrios' goal in the 19th minute.
The scene is not good-looking, but the result is not bad.
After the match, a special feature about Zhou Yi was published in the Ruhr News newspaper, and Zhou Yi's experience before coming to Dortmund was a key part of the Ruhr News newspaper. Dortmund fans were surprised to find that the talented man had only been training professionally for a year!
And what surprised everyone even more was that before Zhou Yi came to Dortmund, he also rejected two clubs, Barcelona and Arsenal!
There is no doubt that the level of youth training of these two clubs is higher than that of Borussia Dortmund, and the reputation of the first team is even greater.
But Zhou Yi finally chose Dortmund, which really doubled the favor of Dortmund fans towards Zhou Yi. Although Zhou Yi also admitted that he chose Dortmund because it was easier for Dortmund to get the opportunity to play in the first team, this did not make fans feel that there was anything wrong with Zhou Yi.
They're going to be proud β yes, we at Borussia Dortmund have a manager who is willing to give young players a chance, so all the young talents from all over the world, come on!
The Ruhr News report was translated and reprinted in China by domestic media, and it also caused heated discussions among Chinese fans.
Because when the media reported that Zhou Yi joined the Dortmund youth team, they didn't say that they still refused Barcelona and Arsenal!
Of course, this is not to blame the Chinese media, this is what Zhou Yi himself did not say.
He didn't think it was a big deal at the time, anyway, he joined Dortmund, so let's talk about Dortmund.
So the Chinese fans at that time didn't know that Zhou Yi had also received invitations from Barcelona and Arsenal.
But he refused!
If this matter had been exposed, Zhou Yi might have been scolded as a fool by many fans - not to let Barcelona and Arsenal, which are more famous, go to Dortmund, which ranked thirteenth last season, isn't this what is in his head?
But now, everyone who already knows the result looks at Zhou Yi's original choice, and has to admire Zhou Yi's choice is correct and rational.
He was not bluffed by the name of the wealthy family, but insisted on choosing a path that was more beneficial to him.
What if he had gone to La Masia? There's a ready-made example thereβHo Ying. He Ying was so beautiful when he went to Barcelona that the domestic media were about to blow him as the leader of Chinese football in the next ten years, but what was the result?
Zhou Yi has already played four official Bundesliga games in Dortmund's first team.
Whose choice is better?
Go without saying.
In the end, the domestic media said with emotion about this matter: "It is said that Zhou Yi is a person who plays football with his brain, but judging from this choice, he is worthy of such an evaluation." Many of us, adults who are more mature than Zhou Yi, may not be able to make the right choices and judgments when facing such a fork in the road in life. But Zhou Yi did it, amazing!"
