Siheyuan: I have a super purchasing system

"Reporter Zhang is always welcome to eat for free."

"Come on, let me show you this room. It was arranged in a hurry. Do you think there is anything you need to add?"

Yu Zhile brought reporter Zhang to the room. When reporter Zhang saw the furnishings in the room, he was stunned.

Where on earth did Yu Zhile find so many ancient-style furniture? In a sense, they can even be considered antiques, although they don’t have a very long history.

"I can only express my admiration. I can't believe it."

"By the way, could you please hang this painting of mine in this room on the day of the banquet?"

Reporter Zhang thought about it and took out a long scroll and handed it to Yu Zhile. Yu Zhile opened it and found it was a painting.

"This painting is indeed very well done, but who is this Shuiyue hermit?"

Yu Zhile looked at the painting. Although he was not an expert, he had a certain level of appreciation.

"This is a painting by our editor-in-chief, but few people know about it."

"I have two paintings by Shuiyue Jushi. You can hang one here as a gift from me. Don't sell it. I will give the other one to the editor-in-chief."

Reporter Zhang's words were quite clear. After all, he felt that it was better to be clear when dealing with Yu Zhile.

Whether it's treating someone to a meal or sending a painting, he has to plan it out. If Yu Zhile doesn't cooperate or finds out that he's being used, it will be troublesome.

It’s better to be open and honest.

"Okay, I'll hang up then."

Yu Zhile took down a painting on the wall and replaced it with this painting of Shuiyue Jushi, which complemented the two.

I have to say that the level is very high. Yu Zhile couldn't put it down. This painting is expected to appreciate in value in the future.

However, since reporter Zhang said that this was a reward for him, he didn't hesitate. After all, he was not so easy to use.

"Where did you buy this painting? I want to buy a few more."

Yu Zhile looked at it carefully again and still liked it very much, so he asked a question casually.

"Don't even think about it. I also want the works of Shuiyue Jushi. Although he is not well-known and not expensive, it is hard to buy."

"The main reason it's cheap is that it's not famous enough. You know about calligraphy and paintings."

"I was lucky to get two paintings, but if you're still short of calligraphy and paintings to hang on your wall, you can take a look at my collection to see if there's anything you like."

Reporter Zhang shook his head with some regret, but still said sincerely that he could give part of his collection to Yu Zhile.

"Forget it. A gentleman does not take away what others love. I just use it as a decoration."

"When hanging on the wall, you can't really use expensive calligraphy or paintings. The main thing is the artistic conception."

"I can still find a way to get the right one."

Yu Zhile naturally wouldn't pick other people's collections. That required a lot of character. Regardless of whether he paid or not, there was no need for him to use up favors for such a thing.

"May I have the honor of seeing your collection?"

It has to be said that those who can be reporters have some skills in taking advantage of opportunities, reporter Zhang immediately said curiously.

After all, although the items hanging on the wall were not expensive luxury goods, they were all top-quality.

"Okay, I'll ask you to go and have a look next time."

"Then let's book this. However, according to the rules of this Tan's private restaurant, there will be a seat for the host at each table. Is that ok?"

Yu Zhile smiled and said, this is indeed an old rule. Of course, Yu Zhile follows this rule just to get to know more people.

After all, anyone who can afford and find this private restaurant must be a special guest.

Yu Zhile was still willing to entertain the nouveau riche.

"Of course, no problem. The guest follows the host's wishes."

Reporter Zhang naturally knew the history of the Tan family's private cuisine, and he himself would not mind introducing people to Yu Zhile.

After all, Yu Zhile himself is a friend worth making friends with.

After Yu Zhile discussed with reporter Zhang, he naturally asked He Qingfeng to come over and get to know the place.

"Xiao Yu, are you really going to open a private restaurant for me from now on?"

He Qingfeng looked at the courtyard with some disbelief. He certainly knew the glory of Tan’s cuisine.

But by his generation, they had lost their original arrogance, and some even broke the rules and went to people's homes to help with cooking.

After all, someone is pointing a gun at you, will you do it?

Now it seems that Yu Zhile is not just doing something small, but is planning to run this private restaurant according to the rules of the previous dynasty.

He suddenly felt that his lifelong wish was about to come true, and he was full of energy.

I can't wait to patrol my territory.

But he still restrained himself and just inspected the kitchen, grinning with joy.

"Yes, this will be your private restaurant from now on."

"But it will take about half a year to be fully completed and officially open for business."

"During this period, if anyone has made a reservation here, I will invite them to come and eat here."

“But it’s usually not open.”

"You have to make a reservation at least ten days in advance."

"There will be a table of guests here before the New Year."

Yu Zhile nodded and said.

"It'll take another half a year. I think this is pretty good."

He Qingfeng's mind is now completely focused on this private restaurant, and he can't wait to open it tomorrow.

"No, no matter what kind of flowers or plants they are, they need at least half a year to take good care of them, and some of them need to be replanted."

“Decoration, furniture, calligraphy and paintings, and even finding a complete set of tableware all take time.”

"You don't want to give it to people just to please them, do you?"

Yu Zhile's words made sense, and He Qingfeng nodded every time he said one of his points.

"You are right. I will follow your instructions."

"By the way, if we're entertaining people tomorrow, do you have any arrangements for waiters and helpers?"

"Or you and the pillar?"

"Do we need to transfer the waiters from He's Restaurant? We have already hired a few new ones."

"Actually, these are also recruited here, right?"

He Qingfeng saw it clearly. Although the He's Restaurant had good business, there were enough waiters and they actually didn't need that many people.

"You and my brother should keep an eye on the people in the kitchen and see if you can find someone else who suits your taste. Or I can help recruit some."

"But there's no rush. We can wait until before the official opening to recruit. After all, it's still half a year away."

"I don't have too many tables here. Unless I can't turn them down or I want to treat everyone, I won't let people come here."

"I won't help you. The day after tomorrow, the He's Restaurant will take a day off, and then I'll let my brother help you."

"As for the waiters, besides Yu Haitang, call Xiao Wu over. We have prepared cheongsams for them."

“If it’s done well, they can do it here next summer.”

"Do you think this arrangement is okay?"

Yu Zhile thought about it carefully, told him his arrangements, and then looked at He Qingfeng.
