Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 23 Worried about being dragged into the sea by fish
"Anisan, Siguyi!"

Yukiko Nakamori was picking tiger prawns excitedly, and her clothes were wet by the sea water.

"Should I cast the net later, too?"

Ji Chang turned his head and took a look at Yukiko Nakamori, whose collar was blown open by the sea breeze, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

"Well, we can cast another net. Even if we don't catch anything, we won't lose anything." Ji Chang said as he sensed the situation in the sea.

There are still quite a few tiger prawns at the bottom, so there is still a chance to catch some.

Yukiko Nakamori nodded repeatedly, and at the same time quickened her pace, picking the shrimps out of the fishing net one after another.

Only when Ji Chang's fishing net sank to the bottom did Yukiko Nakamori pick all the shrimps out of the net.

When Ji Chang was pulling the net, Yukiko Nakamori was throwing the fishing net into the sea.

While her fishing net was still sinking, she heard a 'splashing' sound coming from the water surface again.

This sound is undoubtedly the most pleasant to fishermen.

This net contains about 20 to 30 kilograms of tiger prawns, so the harvest can be said to be quite good.

Ji Chang found that two people were still too few, and he could hire another person to specifically remove the nets and do the rough work.

There is not much else in Gutan Village, but there are still many women who are willing to go to sea, they just don't have the opportunity.

If there is a fishing boat willing to take it, they can mobilize the entire village.

After all, as long as someone is employed, there will be income, and with income you can support yourself and your family.

However, considering the current financial difficulties, Ji Chang thought it would be better to just take Kurosawa Rika with him.

Kurosawa Arisa needs to cook and do housework at home, otherwise it would be too miserable to not be able to eat hot meals when she returns home every day.

He found that there were still too few women in the family.

After all, Miyamoto Tamako is someone else's daughter-in-law, and the house she lives in now still belongs to her late husband.

However, she should soon cut ties with her late husband's family.

After all, she is a widow, and her father-in-law can't stop her.

Thinking of Miyamoto Tamako, Ji Chang couldn't help but feel a little agitated.

Once something starts, it's hard to stop.

After Ji Chang picked all the shrimps from his net, he tidied up the fishing net.

There are too few fishing nets on the boat, and we need to prepare a few more.

This is not a trawler, so he can only throw the nets by hand, so the more nets the better.

It takes too much time to sort out the fishing nets. It would be much more convenient to just throw out a new net, and you can also get more.

After all, fish can run away, and by the time you have sorted out the net, they will have already swam away to other places.

Ji Chang did not cast the third net, as the tiger prawns below had been frightened and scattered in all directions.

I don't know how long it will take for them to gather again.

If you have this much time, you might as well sail somewhere else and try your luck.

The tiger prawns caught by Yukiko Nakamori in this net were even smaller, weighing only about seven or eight kilograms.

However, in addition to the tiger prawns, she also caught a grouper weighing three or four pounds.

"Anisan, can I have some tiger prawns?"

Fresh tiger prawns can be eaten raw, and Yukiko Nakamori can't wait to taste them.

There was no icehouse on the Okja, so the tiger prawns that died before going out to sea were usually brought aboard and cooked for themselves.

"Of course, you can eat whatever you want on the deck." Ji Chang said generously, then he went into the cabin and started the Yuzi, continuing to head towards the designated island.

With Ji Chang's permission, Yukiko Nakamori happily picked a few larger shrimps, removed the shrimp heads and peeled off the shells on the spot.

After peeling it, she rinsed it with fresh water on the boat.

"Ani-san, would you like to try it?"

Ji Chang quickly refused: "No need."

Ji Chang doesn't like to eat raw food, nor does he like to eat sashimi and various sashimi. After all, he is a Chinese and grew up eating cooked food.

His predecessor was a person who liked to eat cooked food just like him.

"Then I'll enjoy it all by myself!" Yukiko Nakamori happily grabbed a shrimp and put it into her mouth.

While chewing, she closed her eyes so that she could better feel the subtle sensations from her taste buds.

She felt that the shrimp meat was chewy and tender, with a hint of sweetness in its freshness, and was very delicious.

"I'm so happy that I can eat such fresh tiger prawns." Yukiko Nakamori said to Ji Chang with gratitude.

"It feels so good to go out to sea, especially the moment of pulling in the nets. It's so exciting." She said happily, while implicitly expressing her thoughts.

She was alone at home last night, unable to sleep and thinking a lot.

She knew that she would have no chance to return to Tokyo on her own, and it would be difficult to support herself.

By going out to sea with Ji Chang, I can at least save some money to send my younger sister Masako to school.

It is not realistic to send Masako to Tokyo. She can just send her to school in the county so that she can come back to her parents at ordinary times.

There is no man in the family anymore, and she has to be responsible for her sister's life.

After last night, she has grown a lot.

Ji Chang did not respond to Yukiko Nakamori's sentiments.

If she were to go out to sea with her predecessor, Yukiko Nakamori probably wouldn't be happy.

The main reason why going out to sea is fun is because there are gains.

Without your own perception ability, nine out of ten nets might come up empty.

"Anisan, seabirds, there are seabirds over there, there must be schools of fish." Yukiko Nakamori shouted excitedly with her arms open on the deck.

At sea, flocks of birds are the best means of tracking schools of fish.

Ji Chang also saw it and immediately adjusted the rudder of the fishing boat, heading towards the direction where the seabirds were circling.

The fish are moving, and the birds are moving with them.

These seabirds will occasionally swoop in to hunt, catching fish that are above the surface.

From time to time, you can see silver light shining on the water, which is dazzling.

It feels like what I'm chasing is not fish, but money.

Chasing the flock of birds, more than twenty minutes had passed without me noticing.

The sea was too vast, and his fishing boat did not have enough power, so it was not going fast.

After getting close to the sensing range, Ji Chang discovered that this school of fish was sardines.

Sardines are not valuable, but since they have come here, how can we throw them all away?
Without saying anything, Ji Chang turned off the engine.

“What a huge school of fish!”

Nakamori saw a huge school of sardines, and all he could see was shining silver.

Because the school of fish came directly towards them, it looked very eye-catching.

"Get ready to cast the net and catch as much as you can."

Ji Chang shouted, picked up his fishing net, tidied it up and threw it out.

Hand-casting nets are more troublesome. You have to organize the net in your hands before casting it, otherwise it will not spread out and you won’t be able to catch the fish.

But he had no other choice. His savings were not enough to buy a trawler, so he could only rely on this primitive hand-cast net to accumulate initial capital.

After all, he has the ability to perceive, and he can ensure that there is something in every net he throws.

A little bit adds up to a lot, and it won’t take long before you can buy a trawler.

Yukiko Nakamori also quickly prepared her fishing net and threw it towards the school of fish.

Her eyes were full of sardines and she was really worried that she would be dragged into the sea by the fish.

　Godfathers, can you give me some monthly votes to support me? Please!
