At the age of thirteen, Gu Nianzhi had flown to Scotland on a holiday with Huo Shaoheng. While there, she had had fish and chips at the famous Caroline Tavern, the very best in town.
She had fallen in love with it, and never forgotten the taste. She had even gone so far as to learn to make the dish for herself after returning from Scotland, but Chen Lie had eventually imposed a ban on it; it was just too greasy, too unhealthy, and much too fattening…
The look in Mei Xiawen's eyes had grown even more sympathetic.
To him, fish and chips were nothing more than fast food, the kind served at McDonald's and KFC. It was not worthy of being served at a proper restaurant. Anyone with money or any sort of social standing would never choose to eat something like that.
