Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 300: The Ace

When Xue Cong came back with the poker cards, Lin Xuan Qi started to teach Huo Fei Li about the game.

Thankfully for Huo Fei Li, it helped with the awkward mood and he began to pick up what Lin Xuan Qi had taught him.

"This is actually fun. Who taught you this?" Huo Fei Li said when he had won another game.

Xue Cong who was standing by the side of Lin Xuan Qi nodded her head and said, "Xuan Qi had come up with the poker cards and also how to play different types of games with it."

She said it with a sense of pride for her husband.

Huo Fei Li glanced at Lin Xuan Qi with more admiration.

Not only was he running a Clan and businesses, he was also smart enough to come up with poker cards.

And on top of that, he was able to have a cordial and harmonious marriage.

What more could a man ask for?

Lin Xuan Qi saw the admiration in Huo Fei Li’s eyes and thought that maybe he could stay for a little while longer.

He played a few more games with Huo Fei Li winning most of it and Lin Xuan Qi felt it was time to increase the stakes.

"Let’s play with some bets it should make the game much more interesting."

"Sure, we can start with a tael of silver as the minimum stake." Huo Fei Li who was confident with the winning games replied without much thought.

"Well, if you say so." Lin Xuan Qi shrugged his shoulders and he started dealing out the cards.

"Three of a kind."

"Royal flush."

"Four of a kind."

Huo Fei Li’s face pulled long after Lin Xuan Qi won for a few games.

And he got invested enough to increase the stakes even more.

"Let’s play with ten taels of silver as the minimum stake."

"You sure with that?"

"Yes, I’m pretty sure. A few more games and my luck will turn." Huo Fei Li said with conviction that he would be able to get back his luck soon.

Lin Xuan Qi smiled at Huo Fei Li and thought that it was best for him to teach Huo Fei Li on self control and not get into the heat of the moment.

Imagine what would happen if Huo Fei Li was lured into a trap by cunning villains.

Xue Cong saw his smile and rolled her eyes at him.

But she knew that Lin Xuan Qi wouldn’t go too far and she said, "I’ll get them to prepare lunch and bring it here."

Lin Xuan Qi thought for a moment and said, "Ask Auntie Sue to prepare some dishes with the Taste Transcendent Essence."

It was a great opportunity to market his Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence to Huo Fei Li.

Xue Cong gave him a nod and she proceeded to get it done.

With Xue Cong away, Huo Fei Li began to think about asking Lin Xuan Qi’s help.

He was eager to seize the opportunity on the improvements of his relationship with Lu Ting.

"Master Lin, how... how do you get to be with your wife and concubine?" He asked while he pretended to be nonchalant and looked at his cards.

"How did I get to be with my wife and concubine?" Lin Xuan Qi smirked and knew what Huo Fei Li was getting at.

And since Huo Fei Li had lost about a few hundred taels of silver to him so far, he decided to help Huo Fei Li with it.

"Most women like their men to be confident.

"The worst thing you can do is to have your world be about them.

"Do your own thing and be successful.

"If it works out well between the two of you then it works out.

"If it doesn’t, there are more women out there for you waiting for you."

Huo Fei Li frowned and asked, "That’s all?"

Lin Xuan Qi gave him a nod.

"I guess I have to focus and get better in my cultivation." Huo Fei Li gave out a sigh and thought about what he had said.

He also decided to silently observe how Lin Xuan Qi does it for the day.

But before he could say anything else, Lin Xuan Qi was looking at him with a huge grin.

"Royal flush."

Lin Xuan Qi opened his cards and calculated how much he had won for this game.

It was another hundred taels of silver.

He decided it was enough and said, "I’m tired. Maybe we should wait for lunch."

Huo Fei Li gave out a sigh and agreed with his suggestion.

They didn’t have to wait too long, the doors were opened with Xiu and the other servants bringing in the dishes.

It was the usual, braised beef, fried eggs, fish soup and some vegetables.

"Thanks for the meal." Huo Fei Li didn’t think much and thanked Lin Xuan Qi for it.

"Eat first." Lin Xuan Qi picked up his chopsticks and had a mouthful of the braised beef.

It was good as usual.

"This is? This food is so... so good!" Huo Fei Li was astonished when he had a bite of the braised beef.

The aroma of the braised beef filled his mouth once he put it in.

And when he took a bite, it was tender and juicy.

The beef with the braised sauce was seasoned perfectly.

It was salty and fragrant.

But on top of that, there was something else in it.

Huo Fei Li couldn’t put it in words but it was tasty and accentuated the taste of the beef significantly.

He glanced at Lin Xuan Qi with an astonished look and Lin Xuan Qi said, "Try the fried eggs, it is just as good."

Huo Fei Li didn’t wait and picked up some of the fried eggs with his chopsticks.

Even the fried eggs were just as good.

The same taste that the braised beef had was also in the fried eggs.

Huo Fei Li quickly picked up some of the fish and vegetables.

It was the same for them.

They were just as tasty and that special seasoning elevated their taste.
