Chapter 360 (1/2)

New York, Wall Street has a global reputation.

But few people know that turning right from the south end of Wall Street is another world.

There are few people going in and out, and it's also a habitat for Chinese in New York.

In 1900, there were only 6000 Chinese here.

But by 1932, there were more than 20000 Chinese here.

The streets are smooth dirt roads, and most of the houses are of concrete structure. There are three, four and five floors.

New York was the first group of Chinese immigrants who arrived here in 1848.

Around Chinatown, there are Jewish neighborhoods, Puerto Rican (Indian) neighborhoods, and Italian immigrant neighborhoods.

Because of its early arrival, and the rapid development of New York, people from eastern Guangdong and Hong Kong are here, with flexible minds, so they all have a good life.

Zhao a-Si felt strong all over, so he went into the kitchen to wash dishes, boil water, wash vegetables and deliver meals. The more dry they were, the more energetic they were.

At the end of the month, he also got his salary smoothly. He went back to the house to take the money and counted it over and over again. He was reluctant to let go.
