recently, a blogger posted a video saying that he and his group of three started a self-driving trip to shanxi because of the recent hit "black myth: wukong". however, they encountered "yin and yang vegetable prices" in a noodle restaurant in yungang district, datong. a bowl of noodles costs 7 yuan for locals and 11 yuan for outsiders.

this incident quickly attracted criticism from a number of netizens. the yungang district market supervision and administration bureau of datong city also reported that the problems raised by tourists were true, and immediately ordered the noodle shop to suspend business and rectify, and initiated an investigation in accordance with laws and regulations.

subsequently, news about the noodle shop's "yin and yang prices" and the low price being a special price for local miners continued to ferment on the internet.

at about 14:00 on august 31, a reporter from china national radio visited the noodle shop through a video interview. a nearby resident said: "this noodle shop has not been open since the incident. it opened at around 9 o'clock this morning."

the owner of another knife-cut noodle restaurant next to the noodle restaurant involved also told reporters through a video:he has never heard of "miners' special price", "everyone who comes to eat noodles pays the same price". as for why the noodle shop next door has "yin and yang prices", he said he didn't understand.
