Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 22: Net Full of Tiger Prawns
“Are we going to start casting the net?”

Seeing Ji Chang turned off the engine, Yukiko Nakamori suddenly became excited.

From the moment she went out to sea, she was looking forward to casting the net and catching fish.

Although she was earning a salary, she still hoped that Ji Chang would return with a full load and make a fortune every time.

"Good, time to start casting the net." Ji Chang put out his cigarette and got out of the cockpit.

After arriving on the deck, Ji Chang picked up a fishing net and handed it to Yukiko Nakamori.

He gestured to the right and said, "You should throw it over here later. Throw it beside the boat. Don't throw it too far."

After that, Ji Chang picked up another net and said, "When I say 'cast', you cast."

Then, Ji Chang threw the net in his hand out first.

Ten seconds later, Ji Chang said quickly, "Throw it."

Yukiko Nakamori, who had been prepared, threw the fishing net in her hand out. The net spun and spread out, and the net reached the sea surface and sank rapidly.

Yukiko Nakamori looked nervous as she watched the rope in her hand being pulled into the water by the fishing net.

"Don't be anxious, wait until it sinks to the bottom." Ji Chang reminded.

Yukiko Nakamori nodded vigorously, full of anticipation.

Ji Chang used his perception ability to observe the situation of the fishing net. The fishing net was sinking rapidly towards the shrimp net.

As time passed, Yukiko Nakamori became more and more nervous.

This was her first time on Ji Chang’s boat, so she especially hoped that this time she would have a good catch and have a good start for her fishing career.

Her palms were slightly sweaty and her eyes were fixed on the drawstring of the fishing net.

rustling.

I heard the sound of Ji Chang pulling the net.

"Don't be anxious, wait for it to sink to the bottom." Ji Chang reminded while pulling the fishing net back to prevent Yukiko Nakamori from pulling the net too early.

The position of Yukiko Nakamori is deeper than that of Ji Chang, so it takes longer.

"Anisan, it's sunk to the bottom." Feeling the fishing net stop, Yukiko Nakamori shouted.

"pull."

Hearing Ji Chang's words, Yukiko Nakamori pulled the net with all her might.

The deeper the fishing net, the heavier it is when you pull it up because there is more resistance.

Without a net lifting machine, you can only pull it up slowly with your hands.

"We must have caught a lot of fish. It's so heavy, damn!" Yukiko Nakamori encouraged herself while pulling the net.

Pulling nets is physically demanding work, so few fishing boats hire women.

Yukiko Nakamori found that the more she pulled, the heavier it became. Her hands turned red and her expression became ferocious.

But she did not give up and persisted with gritted teeth.

In order to survive and improve her life, she must persevere.

Otherwise, she would have no choice but to go down that inhuman path of no return.

"Crash"

After Ji Chang pulled the fishing net out of the water, a sound was heard.

Yukiko Nakamori quickly turned her head, because the sound was quite loud and she knew there must be a lot of fish in the fishing net.

"What kind of fish is that, Anisan?"

Yukiko Nakamori became more motivated because she knew there would definitely be a catch in her fishing net.

"A few sea breams and a lot of tiger prawns, we're rich!" Ji Chang said excitedly.

The giant shrimp is an arthropod of the family Penaeidae in the order Decapoda, also known as grass shrimp, king kong shrimp, and bamboo shrimp.

The horizontal stripes on the body are mostly brown and dark green.

They like to live on the seabed, are generally very active during the day, and forage in the evening.

This type of tiger prawn is larger in size and has a thicker shell, but its meat tastes firm and tender. Although it is smaller than lobster, its taste is not inferior.

Whether it is Chinese, Western or Japanese cuisine, this tiger prawn is a delicious ingredient in the eyes of chefs and diners. If the tiger prawn is fresh enough, it can even be eaten raw, which is a rare delicacy.

Therefore, its price is relatively high, not inferior to fish such as red snapper.

Ji Chang's catch weighed about 50 to 60 kilograms, which was considered a good start.

"Si Guoyi!"

Yukiko Nakamori couldn't help but exclaim.

She couldn't help but think of the taste of tiger prawns and swallowed.

After knowing that it was a tiger prawn, Yukiko Nakamori pulled even harder, wishing she could pull the fishing net out of the water in one breath to see what she had caught.

The joy and surprise of fishing lies in the moment when the fish is exposed.

On this side, Ji Chang had already dragged the fishing net onto the deck.

The tiger prawns in the net kept bouncing, struggling to escape.

Ji Chang loosened a hole in the fishing net and poured the tiger prawns in the net into one of the three live water tanks.

There are partitions in the live water tank, which can be flexibly divided into two or three compartments.

Of course, you can also remove all the partitions to turn it into a large live water tank.

"Xuezi, go pick up the net."

Because there are still a lot of shrimps hanging on the fish net, they need to be taken off the fish net.

"Please, bean sack, Anisan, I want to pull the net up by myself, please!"

Yukiko Nakamori really wanted to pull up the fishing net with her own hands and see what she had caught.

"Okay, then take your time." Ji Chang directly agreed to Yukiko Nakamori's request because he could understand her feelings.

If she really can't pull it anymore, she will let me take over.

Ji Chang picked the tiger prawns from the fishing net and threw them into the live water tank.

"Clatter, crash, crash."

The rustling sound of the fishing net as it approached the water surface made Yukiko Nakamori very excited.

"Anisan, so many shrimps, I'm rich."

She struggled to pull the fishing net onto the deck. Her net was not small, with about 20 to 30 kilograms of tiger prawns.

"This country is number one!" Ji Chang praised.

Yukiko Nakamori lifted the fishing boat into the live water tank and poured most of the live shrimps into it.

There were not only tiger prawns, but also a few swimming crabs.

"Anisan, you can make a lot of money today, right?" Yukiko Nakamori asked with envy.

Ji Chang's ability to find fish is too strong. She can't see anything worth setting nets for here.

As a result, both nets were filled with tiger prawns, which directly destroyed the shrimp nest.

"This net of shrimps weighs more than 50 kilograms, so it should be worth 200 yuan," Ji Chang estimated.

"So many?" Yukiko Nakamori couldn't help but widen her eyes.

In my mind, the idea of ​​fishing myself came to my mind again.

But she quickly gave up the idea because she knew she had no ability to find fish.

She relies on luck to cast her net, while Ji Chang relies on his strength.

If I really go fishing myself, it will be like yesterday afternoon, all the harvests added together will be nothing, it will be hard to even feed myself.

There are also a lot of tiger prawns hanging on Yukiko Nakamori's net, which also needs to be picked off.

Dead shrimps cannot be thrown into the live water channel, but need to be thrown into the fish basket on the deck.

It took Ji Chang more than ten minutes to pick all the tiger prawns in his net.

He quickly arranged his fishing net and threw it into the sea again.

There are still quite a few tiger prawns on the seabed, and Ji Chang doesn't want to miss the opportunity to catch them.
