On November 14, two 'zero-yuan' noodle shops in Nanjing officially implemented adjusted free meal rules. The previous policy of free meals for everyone was cancelled, and now only senior citizens over 60, people with disabilities, sanitation workers, and veterans are eligible for free vegetarian noodles. Previously, the free noodle shops attracted a large number of diners, affecting the business of surrounding merchants. On November 13, the Jiangning District sub-district office stepped in to organize coordination.
