Xu Qing grinned as he escorted the guests out, and when they left, he turned to the embroidery girl who was busy washing dishes with flowing water.
"Where did you get the food and oil from the banquet?"
The embroidery girl replied curiously, "Of course, I bought it. Didn't you ask me to cook? We had nothing at home, so I took a few coins from the counter. You knew about this."
"You, a ghost, went out to buy groceries? Didn't you scare the vendors to death?"
"That's easy. Just don't let them see me. I took the food, left the money, and just walked away."
Xu Qing thought about it and realized it made sense!
"I'll handle the shopping next time. You should stop wandering around too far. What if you run into a Taoist priest or a monk? They might just exorcize you with a flip of their hand!"
The embroidery girl giggled, "I didn't go far. I bought the vegetables from the store right across the street."
