Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 67 Sisters Take Action

"Sister Lingzi, I think your worry is a bit unnecessary."

Yuki Kawashima glanced at Reiko Akiba, then leaned her back against the guardrail.

"When Ji Changjun first came to our Gutan Village, he only bought a small wooden boat, but now he owns a trawler of more than 20 meters."

"So, he must not rely on luck when he goes out to sea to fish. Even us sea women can use seabirds and bubbles on the sea surface to identify fish schools, so our captain can definitely do it too."

Just as Akiba Reiko was about to say something, Ji Chang's voice suddenly rang out from the boat's horn.

"There are fish schools ahead, everyone get ready to cast the nets."

Hearing this, Kawashima Yuki couldn't help but raise her chin towards Akiba Reiko.

As if to say: See, was I right?

"Okay, sisters, let's take action and set the net." Yuki Kawashima shouted loudly and took action.

"There are a lot of seabirds ahead, so the school of fish must be large. Everyone, be prepared." Another female diver saw the situation ahead and also gave a reminder.

"Beep, beep."

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded from the sea.

Hearing this sound, many people couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.

A fishing boat was approaching at a rapid speed and sounded its horn.

In the cockpit, Ji Chang picked up the telescope and took a look.

"The Black Pool Maru?"

Seeing the name of the fishing boat, Ji Chang couldn't help but frown.

"The Heitan Maru, this is another ship owned by the owner of the Gutan Maru. The crew of this fishing boat have all been to the battlefield before, and they are all very brutal." Kurosawa Rika said hurriedly.

After all, she lives in Gutan Village and is familiar with Houtian's situation.

"This ship is about 50 or 60 meters long. It's an ocean-going vessel. The owner of this fishing boat must be quite powerful." Ji Chang couldn't help but say.

But he was a little puzzled. Why did the Heitan Maru blow the whistle at him?
Could it be that he suspected that he had killed the captain of the Kotan Maru, Mihara Natsusa?
"Lixiang, do you know the name of the owner of Heitan Maru?" Ji Chang asked while observing.

"His name is Kurosaki Mantan, a very legendary man and very, very rich. However, he is over fifty years old. The people who are in charge of the fishing boats now should be his descendants." Kurosawa Rika didn't know much, after all, she and the other party were not from the same class.

It is not easy to know these things.

Although Ji Chang was curious, he did not change his course and continued to head towards the school of fish.

The other party's fishing boat is a large ocean-going fishing boat. It is impossible for them to snatch fish from us in the waters more than ten nautical miles away, right?
When Ji Chang was observing with the telescope, there were also several people observing with telescopes on the opposite fishing boat.

"Seafood, this name is really unique."

"I didn't expect that someone could actually get the Yafeng out of the reefs of Xiaolong Island where it ran aground. They are really capable."

"Captain, are you interested in that Chinese boy and want to recruit him to our fleet? But he doesn't look like an experienced fisherman."

"That's right. Even though he found the Yafeng, it doesn't mean he has rich experience in fishing. This kind of person has never even been to the open sea."

Masao Kurosaki put down the telescope in his hand and took the cigar handed to him by his assistant.

"If there is a safe route to Xiaolong Island, it still has some value. Our fleet still has too few talents, and we need to recruit more."

"I don't know where that bastard Sanyuan is sinking, and I can't find anyone good to take charge of the Gutan for a while."

After saying this, Kurosaki Masao took a puff of his cigar.

Just then, he heard the sailors' calls from the deck.

"Miss Hua, the other fishing boat is full of women. It's unbelievable." "It really is a group of women casting the nets. This is a big taboo in fishing. The sea god will punish them."

So he quickly asked someone to hand him a telescope.

Through the telescope, he saw the situation on the deck of the Seafood.

"What a group of women..."

"It's interesting to hire women to fish. They should be a group of female divers."

After all, it is not so easy to recruit male sailors nowadays, and those who are capable of going to sea already have employers.

Or, they are small fishermen who own their own fishing boats.

As a Chinese, it is not easy for Ji Chang to recruit sailors unless he is willing to pay a high price.

The question is, can we afford to hire sailors at high prices?

The cost of a trip out to sea is not small, including the cost of fuel, ice, and labor costs, which can add up to hundreds of yuan for a day.

The longer you stay at sea, the greater the cost.

So in his opinion, recruiting Ama women is undoubtedly a very good choice.

Therefore, now Kurosaki Masao has become more determined to recruit more people.

He often went to sea, so he naturally knew that women were not suitable for going to sea. They were inferior to men in all aspects at sea.

Especially when going out to sea, a group of women is much more difficult to manage than a group of men, and there are various physiological situations.

Women cannot go out to sea to fish, not because of any taboo, but because the cost is too high and it is not as cost-effective as men.

"What a wild idea! Going out to sea with a group of women is bound to be a huge loss. Fishing is not that easy."

"If it were that easy, we wouldn't need to rely on fish finders and experienced fishermen."

The people around Kurosaki Masao kept mocking Ji Chang, but there was also a hint of envy in their mockery.

Picking up a fishing boat for free, what a stroke of luck!
When they heard about this, they were so jealous that their teeth almost broke.

Now, I actually saw Ji Chang going out to sea with a group of women, which made me even more jealous.

Is this a fishing trip?
This is the time to enjoy the sea!
They were a group of women, a group!
They usually go out to sea for ten days or half a month, and they are surrounded by a bunch of smelly men, so there is no chance for them to see women.

Naturally, they also hoped to have a woman on the boat, not to mention fishing, but also to cook and wash clothes.

Having a woman on the boat to chat and watch with can make the boring fishing life full of fun.

Why are there no women on ocean-going ships?

If there are women on board, far away from the current civilized society, it is difficult to have restraint in the deep sea.

This is the equivalent of a woman and a group of men being stranded on a desert island.

What would be the consequences?
Another point is that living on the sea with high humidity can easily cause menstrual disorders and other diseases for women due to the special body structure.

If you fish offshore, you only stay at sea for a day or two, but the work intensity is very high and women simply cannot bear it.

Kurosaki Masao put down the telescope and looked at the first mate beside him.

Then, Kurosaki Masao asked, "Do you think they can catch any fish with this net?"

The first mate shook his head and said calmly, "I don't think it's possible. Although there are seabirds circling over there, their fishing boats are too slow and can't catch up with the school of fish. It's destined to be a waste of time."
