High-tech roadside noodle store opens in Xi’an

​Customers are flocking to a new ‘smart noodle store’ by the roadside in Xi’an, China’s Shaanxi Province, on December 26, 2017. Two noodle making machines using artificial intelligence technology can each produce 100 bowls of noodles. The machines take one minute to boil a bowl of noodles, and can turn out 200 bowls every day for sale at 8 yuan (1.2 US dollars) each. The store is targeted at people looking for a late night snack. So far, reviews on the noodles have been positive. [Photo: VCG]
