"Wow!" She looked out at the steam coming out from the window and it made the hunger in her rise up. "It smells so good!" The other tourists that had traveled a long distance were equally famished. When they smelled the food, they were ravenous too.
"How much is this?" asked Su Yun as she took out her purse.
She could afford a bowl of noodles. After all, she couldn't always make Jiang Ning pay for her.
"$260 a bowl," said the service staff expressionlessly as he cooked.
"How much?!" As Su Yun took out her money, she was instantly stunned. She suddenly looked up at the service staff and asked again, "How much did you say a bowl of noodles were?" "$260! Take it or leave it!" The service staff's voice beclouder instead. He raised his head to look at the others who wanted to eat too and said, "$260 a bowl. Those who want it have to pay first!" The tourists were completely shocked.

What ingredients were these noodles made from? How could they be so expensive? They had eaten food in such service areas before and had never seen anything this expensive. The people that initially wanted to eat all shook their heads and turned to leave. They kept sneering as they left. "$260? That's too expensive. Do these people think they are a five-star chef?" "That's too much. How can you ask for so much? How can you charge as you wish? Where's your boss?" "Are the noodles made of gold? I'm not eating it. I'm not eating it." The service staff listened to them complain but continued to remain expressionless. "We sell a limited amount every day. First come, first serve. If you are late, there will be none left." Although he worded it like this, no one ordered it.
This seriously had to be a joke. They were no fools. Even if they were rich, they couldn't be taken advantage of for no reason. It was clearly unfairly priced.
"Forget it. We can eat at the hotel. I'm sure the hotel food beats these noodles." "Just use the toilet and get back onto the bus. Then we can get to the hotel as soon as possible." Let's go. Don't eat the noodles.' Su Yun watched as all the tourists left. She put her purse away too.
It was hard for her to save this much money. This single bowl of noodles was worth a week of her living expenses. There was no way she could bring herself to eat it.

The legend of Shengcheng griped unhappily, "It's extortion!" When she finished, she turned to leave.
She planned on eating after they got to the hotel just like the others and let Jiang Ning pay.
Not a single person ordered. But the service staff wasn't anxious at all. He continued to prepare the noodles unhurriedly. It seemed as though he could sell all the noodles he made. Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen didn't say a word.
The noodles were unreasonably priced.
But no one was around to stop it. And the tour guide, Wang Quan, even brought them here on purpose. There was clearly something amiss.
"Let's wait and see," said Jiang Ning.

Lin Yuzhen didn't say a word, but she looked angry. The moment she m arrived on South Island, this company gave her a terrible impression. "What? The bus broke down? How could it break down? It was perfectly fine earlier!" "Is this sjoke? We suffered such bad luck the moment we got onto South Island! How did the bus break down? A few of them stood in front of the bus. Wang Quan stopped them from boarding and looked equally perplexed too.
"I'm so sorry. Something has happened to the bus and the bus driver is trying to fix it now d hope! everyone can be understanding about it. Why don't you rest in the service area for the tbeing? Once the bus gets fixed, I'll send everyone to the hotel!"
The bus driver stood behind the bus and pretended to open the hood. He was focused on fixing the bus as he prodded around with a spanner. The fixing went on for hours. Almost everyone was famished. They could even hear speople's stomachs growling already.
The scent from the service area window stimulated everyone's senses. Their eyes glinted with hunger.
"They don't want to eat the noodles? When people are hungry, even shit tastes good!" Wang Quan looked at those tourists as he sneered, "With all these bags of money in the car, I can make a lot of commission again. Hoho!"
