Mice were captured running wild on the kitchenware in a noodle shop in southern China.

The disgusting video filmed in Chongqing on October 20 shows several mice nimbly navigating up and down a rack and the exhaust hood. One particularly daring rat even made its way atop the vegetables.

As the person filming approached and made a noise, the pests scurried away in fear.

On October 27, an official from the Jiu Long Po District Market Supervision and Management Bureau revealed that it was found that the individual who captured the footage had previously worked at the noodle shop.

The owner of the establishment allegedly deducted several days' wages from this worker due to work-related issues and the worker has since resigned.

The investigation into the matter is still underway.

近日，重庆（China），一家螺蛳粉店的后厨里，多只老鼠在厨具上爬来爬去，有的直接跳进了菜盆。
目击者拍摄的视频画面中，后厨的铁质置物架上，垒放着不锈钢碗，下面是一口装满青菜的篓子。数只老鼠沿着架子、抽油烟机上下攀爬。一只老鼠甚至走到了青菜上，拍摄者走近发声驱赶后，老鼠才四散而逃。
10月27日，重庆市九龙坡区市场监督管理局一名工作人员称，他们接到情况后，立马赶到现场进行调查，经向门店老板了解，视频拍摄者曾在该门店工作，门店老板曾因其工作原因扣了他几天工资，此后这名工作人员已经自动离职。目前此事仍在调查中，暂无法详细回复。
