Chapter 52: Impressions Matter

Under the command of Zhou Yu, everyone was divided into several groups, holding brooms and other things, and began to clean the streets and repair the exterior walls.

After a while, this strange scene attracted more people's attention, and the owners of the surrounding shops came out one after another, watching the rare scene.

At this time, an old lady with gray hair and a slight bow on her back walked up to a laborer and said softly, "Young man, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhou Yu heard the other party's question, walked over and replied with a smile: "This lady, we are beautifying the street and community environment, of course, these are obligations.

We have decided to carry out a charity cleaning and repair activity on this street every week in the future, which is your store? Is there any damage? Free repairs. ”

The gray-haired old man's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "Really?" That's great, I run this bakery, yes, it's Green Bakery, and my roof seems to be leaking, and the walls get a lot of mold on the walls when it's raining.

You also know that I sell bread, and in such an environment, the food will be stained with a bad musty smell, my business is not as good as before, and the handles of the cabinets over there are about to fall off, do you have any good ideas? ”

"No problem, ma'am, let's see what we can do."

Zhou Yu followed the old man from the bakery into the store, checked the direction of the leak, and then he walked out into the street and beckoned to the crowd, motioning for them to carry a ladder over.

"Mr. Zhou."

With an excited smile on his face, the dog baby Zhou Zhen ran to the front and volunteered: "Let me try, I am light in weight and my movements are more dexterous than them." ”

Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, pay attention to safety." ”

Zhou Zhen put a ladder on the side wall of the bakery, like a dexterous ape, and quickly climbed to the top.

After inspecting it, he shouted downward, "There is a gap here, it has been a long time, we need to fill it up, add tiles and felt, and it will be enough to dry thoroughly." ”

As soon as Zhou Zhen's words fell, the Yuan family brothers had already brought the relevant materials, climbed to the bottom of the ladder, and handed the tools to them.

At the same time, Zhou Yu personally helped the old man in the bakery to put on the handle of the dining cabinet, which only needed to replace a few screws.

"Finished wife, you try to make the knot strong."

The gray-haired old man gently pulled the door of the cabinet a few times, and said in surprise: "Oh~ You repaired it, thank you so much, young man, you can call me Mrs. Hermoth, what is your name?" ”

"Bruce, Bruce Chow, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Hermoth."

The old lady of the bakery was very happy, and if he wanted to hire a craftsman to repair the roof and repair the cabinet doors, it would have cost him a full two pounds, but now a group of Chinese laborers who had always been in the camp of Chinese workers had helped her solve the problem for free.

"Thank you so much, come young man, I have some rusks here, take them and eat them, don't dislike them."

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Hermoth, and try to inform me next time if you have any difficulties, after all, we are separated by a street."

"Great, boy, you've done you a great favor."

After a while, Zhou Zhen on the roof also finished dealing with the leakage, and the owners of other shops around saw this scene and whispered at first, followed by a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair and two beards, and tried to ask, "That...... Sorry, I need help here too. ”

"Me, we also have a water leak in our store, can you help us take a look?"

"And I'm here, if you're thirsty, you can drink some water, free of charge."

Seeing that these Chinese workers really repaired the roof and cabinets for the bakery, and didn't ask for a penny, the owners of other shops also had the courage to put forward their own demands.

"Hehehe, okay, everyone come one by one, don't worry, we live across the street, there are many opportunities."

While reassuring the crowd, Zhou Yu motioned for the workers to come forward and deal with the problems for these London neighbors.

It has to be said that this trick of his was quite effective, and after a while, he established a preliminary friendship with the owners of a row of shops across the street from the Chinese Gongying, of course, in exchange for their own labor.

And this scene also made those people passing by quite curious, they stopped around and looked at this side from afar, and once again formed a traffic jam.

The whistle sounded as promised, and the sheriff with a ginger beard and a slightly protruding abdomen in charge of the place rushed over breathlessly.

"What's going on here? Don't let me see you guys fighting! ”

He squeezed into the crowd and stopped before he could finish speaking.

Because in the middle of the shop where passers-by were watching, a coat shop owner was pulling another Chinese worker to give him a copper-colored felt hat.

"What? Not a fight? ”

Zhou Yu saw the old acquaintance sheriff, and beckoned with a smile: "Mr. police officer, we are just helping the residents here to repair and clean up their houses, you see, the whole street is much cleaner than before." ”

"Repair the house...... Cleaning? What exactly do you want to do? This is not your business, go back to the Chinese labor camp, immediately! ”

The sheriff walked up to Zhou Yu and loudly ordered them to disperse as soon as possible.

"Look at the traffic jam you've caused again, can you save me some snacks? I'm retiring next year! ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Officer, our working time for today is about the same, don't worry if you don't have your turn, we will come out on the next rest day.

If you have any difficulties and need help, you can let us know in advance, in short, we will bring the appropriate tools, of course, the scale will definitely not be so big in the future, if it causes another traffic jam, Mr. Police Officer should arrest me. ”

"No, they should arrest the bad guys, and a great guy like you should be commended, yes, commended~!"

Mrs. Hermoth, who had been at Green's Bakery before, waved her arms and sided with the Chinese workers.

"Thank you, thank you very much for your help today."

There were others shouting loudly around them.

Zhou Yu was very relieved, although these voices were still a little thin and sparse in the crowd, but this was a good start, a beginning to change the stereotype of Chinese workers among the locals.

After doing all this, everyone lined up in a neat queue under the command of Zhou Yu and returned to the Chinese Workers' Battalion.

The overseers who had already disposed of Qiao Da's corpse were stunned when they saw Zhou Yu and hundreds of other Chinese workers walking in from outside.

"Zhou, you ...... Where did you take them? I told you not to leave here. ”
