After dinner, the two went back to their room to rest. There was also a bucket of ice in their room, which felt much cooler than outside.

When He Jinshu saw the bed, he took off his coat and fell asleep on it. Chen Zhen lay down beside him, holding one of his arms and preparing to sleep.

The weather was too hot now, and it would be even hotter if they hugged each other, so Chen Chen had no choice but to sleep hugging He Jinshu's arm.

Chen Zhen slept for half an hour and woke up. After waking up, he couldn't fall asleep again. Seeing that He Jinshu was sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb him. Instead, he got some more ice and then went out.

Grandma He was sewing clothes in the main room. When she saw Chen Chen coming out, she said, "Brother Chen, the servants will take care of all the housework. You can sleep a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm already asleep. I'll go check in the kitchen."

"Okay, go ahead." Grandma He responded.

Afterwards, Chen Zhen went to the kitchen, where Aunt Wen was cooking soybeans.

Now Mo Yuexuan has started to use fermented black beans to cook dishes. Once the reputation of fermented black beans spreads, other restaurants will definitely come to buy them, so Chen Zhen asked the servants at home to make more in advance, so that when people come, there will be no stock. That would be a missed opportunity to make money.

When Aunt Wen saw Chen Zhen coming in, she said, "Mr. He, it's hot in the kitchen, you'd better not come in."

"It's okay, I just came to take a look." Chen Zhen said.

After that, he asked again: "Is there anything missing from the seasoning at home?"

"The oil and soybean paste are almost gone. I made a batch before, so I used more." Aunt Wen said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said, "Just get the soybean paste from my mother. As for the oil, just tell Uncle Wen to go to town to buy it when he has time. If you need any other seasonings, just buy them and remember to keep a record."

The villagers make soybean paste every year. The raw material is also soybeans. In the past, when people could not afford vegetables, they would eat soybean paste with rice.

Shen's mother pickles a lot of soybean paste every year, mainly because this soybean paste is very delicious when used to stir-fry dishes, and everyone in the Shen family loves it.

"Yes, Mr. He." Aunt Wen responded.
