Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 6 I Want to Be a Sea King in This Life

After a while, Ji Chang sensed the fish running around in the fishing net.

"Get rich!"

Ji Chang grinned, quickly stood up and began to collect the net.

This net is estimated to weigh more than 100 kilograms.

Fish are very strong in the water, and it is not easy to pull a fish weighing more than 100 kilograms out of the water.

Fortunately, when he was reborn, his body was strengthened and he had enough strength.

As the fishing net was pulled back and forth, it continued to move closer to the sea surface.

The small fishing boat kept shaking in the sea, as if it would capsize at any time.

But Ji Chang was not panicked at all. At this moment, he seemed to have become one with the fishing boat.

Use the power from the fishing net in your hand to stabilize the fishing boat, and there is no need to worry about it capsizing.

The main reason why he can achieve the unity of man and boat is that he now has much more control over his body than ordinary people.

"It's not a good idea to have too many things in one network. One should not be too greedy."

Because his boat was too small, there was no way for him to exert his strength.

There were several times when Ji Changren was almost dragged into the sea by the huge force.

After fighting with the school of fish for nearly ten minutes, the fishing net finally emerged from the water.

There was a splashing sound, and the surface of the water was covered with white splashes.

At this time, Ji Chang also saw clearly what kind of fish he had caught.

The yellowtail amberjack is called Heimasei by the island nation.

"Flat" refers to its body shape, which is relatively flatter than yellowtail.

"Zheng" comes from the homophonic "柾", which means the straight grain on the radial section of wood, and is used to describe the straight yellow stripes on the side of the yellowtail.

In the island nation, Hiramasa is considered a high-end edible fish and is mainly used in sushi restaurants and cuisine restaurants.

The Pingzheng is a large warm-water fish that is found in temperate to subtropical waters around the world, but is rarely found in tropical waters.

In the coastal waters of Japan, with Hokkaido as the northern limit, the Sea of Japan side, the Pacific side, the Seto Inland Sea, the East China Sea and other areas are the main production areas of Heimasei.

The catch in Pingzheng's nets has always been very low, and most of them are caught by the fishermen themselves. The fish are rich in fat, have a strong flavor, a strong umami taste, and a very rich and plump taste. They can be called top-quality edible fish.

Ji Changke never thought that he would catch such a valuable fish.

The fish in the net were not only Pingzheng, but also some sea bass.

This time, I really made a fortune!

"It's great to live by the sea. With one cast of the net, all you can get is money."

Ji Chang breathed a sigh of relief only after pulling the fishing net into the boat.

"There are so many, about 100 kilograms, I think. We need to transport them to the fish port and sell them. The fresher they are, the better the price."

Ji often tightens the fishing net to prevent the fish from escaping.

Then, he quickly rowed his wooden boat towards the nearby Houtian Fishing Port.

The fish are only purchased at the port, where there are purchasing points set up by fishing companies.

Although Houtian Fishing Port is not big, it is very close.

That's why he didn't go to Hamamasu Fishing Port or Ishikari Port.

"I don't know how much it can be sold for. Although I can't exchange it for a fishing boat, it should be no problem to upgrade the power."

Whether it's rowing or paddling, it's still not as good as an engine.

Thinking in his mind, Ji Chang's fishing boat quickly approached Houtian Fishing Port.

At this time, many fishing boats were coming out of the port and heading towards the sea.

One of the boats was a fishing boat called Gutan Maru, and some of its crew members were from Gutan Village.

It is said that the captain of the fishing boat was originally from Gutan Village, which is why he gave his fishing boat this name.

The people on the boat apparently discovered Ji Chang's small fishing boat.

"Yoshi, it's Ji Chang-san's little broken boat, should we ram it, Tanaka-kun?" "Come on, Kobayashi-san, you better rely on the wind and waves."

"How funny! This little broken boat wants to enter the harbor. Is it leaking?"

"Look, there's something reflecting light in his fishing boat. Could it be a fish?"

"Is it possible? His boat is not a sea vessel, how can he catch fish? If fishing is so easy, do we still need to work for others?"

"Maybe Ji Changjun was lucky and caught some fish." Nitta Yuliang looked at Ji Chang who was heading towards the fish port with admiration.

A man who dares to row a river boat into the sea is a warrior!
"How about we make a bet? If he really catches a fish that can be sold, I'll give you ten dollars. If not, you give me fifteen dollars, Nitta-kun." Tanaka Shunji hugged Nitta Yusuke and made a bet.

Yusuke Nitta is very confident in his eyesight, and he also has confidence in Ji Chang.

He felt that Ji Chang would not go to the fishing port for no reason, and he must be going to sell the fish he had caught.

"Then I'd like you all to be witnesses, and when we come back we'll go to the purchasing point and ask about it."

In Yuliang Nitta's view, the ten yuan was given to him for free.

Because he is young, his monthly salary is only 190 yuan, which is a few dozen yuan less than others.

"Okay, it's settled." Tanaka Shunji had a look on his face that showed he had the other party in his grasp.

He knew very well that there were few fish in the coastal waters nowadays, and it was not easy to catch enough fish to sell.

If it were that easy, would there still be so many malnourished people in the village?

Ji Chang didn't know that he had become an opportunity for others to make money. He quickly drove his wooden boat into the dock.

After reaching the shore, he covered his catch with a tarpaulin.

Then he jumped onto the shore with the cable and tied it off.

There are no fishing boats docked at the fishing port now, only two cargo ships are unloading.

Ji Chang went straight to the purchasing point, ready to call people to collect the fish.

"Yugu-san, please collect the fish. I caught some Pingzheng in my net."

Takao Uotani, an old uncle with a slight limp, has a good reputation in the fishing port, and many fishermen are willing to sell their fish to him.

"Pingzheng?"

"You're not kidding, are you?" Uotani Takao looked at Ji Chang in surprise.

Others are fishing, but you are using a net?
Don't bully me, an old man!

"I'm absolutely not kidding. You'll know if you ask someone to come with me to pull the fish back." Ji Chang pointed to his fishing boat.

This place is only about fifty or sixty meters away from the fishing boat.

"Atong, take the fish basket and come with me to collect the fish. I want to see if this guy really caught Pingzheng." Uotani Takao said somewhat unconvinced.

"It's more than 100 pounds, we need a cart." Ji Chang reminded, and then went to get the fish basket with the young man named Ateng.

“Bring a scale.”

"More than 100 pounds. I think he hasn't woken up yet."

Takao Uotani took a step ahead and walked towards Ji Chang's fishing boat.

However, Ji Chang and Ateng soon caught up with each other and arrived at their fishing boat together.

Ji Chang jumped onto the boat and lifted the tarpaulin.

"Nani?"

"Is it really Pingzheng?"

"With the sea bass included, there's actually such a big net?"

"This is incredible. What is your relationship with Poseidon?"

Ji Chang couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and joked: "It depends on whether the sea god is a woman or a man."

"Female, that's a romantic relationship."
