Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 70 The Last Net of the Day

Ji Chang naturally heard what Yuki Kawashima said and took it to heart.

After all, we can make a lot of money now, so we can naturally recruit more people on board.

Twins, it sounds like they are perfect for learning to sail a boat with me.

It's also quite interesting to listen to them gossip.

Through their situation, Ji Chang also knew that his microphone was not turned off.

However, he was not there, so letting them listen was a reward for them.

They didn't have such an opportunity before.

As time passed, the Seafood was getting closer and closer to the school of fish.

When the distance was about right, Ji Chang spoke directly into the loudspeaker.

"Everyone, get ready to cast the net. This is the last one for today."

“When you hear the horn sound, drop the net.”

After hearing Ji Chang's words, they quickly stood up, not daring to think too much, and began to prepare to cast the net.

However, everyone found that their legs were a little weak and they felt like they couldn't use any strength.

But in the end they worked together and threw the net into the sea before reaching the school of fish.

Ji Chang was driving a fishing boat chasing a school of fish. Based on his perception, Ji Chang estimated that it was a school of sardines.

Although these sardines are not valuable, there are so many of them.

If all of it were fished out, it would probably weigh 20,000 to 30,000 kilogram

I can still get a few thousand kilograms if I just catch them, so it's still worth it.

After the fishing boat had been speeding for half an hour, Ji Chang hurriedly asked everyone to collect the nets.

After stopping the fishing boat, Ji Chang asked the three girls to go to the captain's room to rest.

Today, they are already exhausted. If they stay in the stuffy environment of the cab, they will probably pass out from excessive dehydration.

Ji Chang came to the deck, ready to collect the nets with the female divers.

When the female divers saw Ji Chang, their hearts, which had just calmed down, became agitated again.

All the female divers, regardless of their age, were secretly looking at Ji Chang.

Soon, everyone saw the sardines on the fishing net.

So everyone put aside their thoughts and started to get busy.

As the fishing nets were continuously recycled, more and more sardines were shaken off.

Everyone was very happy looking at the boat full of sardines.

Although they were working for Ji Chang and these fish had nothing to do with them, they still enjoyed the feeling of a good harvest.

As the last bag of net was dragged onto the fishing boat, everyone was stunned.

Because there were so many, probably about three or four thousand kilograms of sardines.

After pouring a large amount of sardines into the fish hold, everyone began to sweep the fish on the deck into the fish hold.

Because we use a floating net, there is no garbage or anything like that.

If you drag a net, you will not only find mud, sand, stones and the like, but also all kinds of garbage.

But in general, the ocean environment is still very good, and the main countries that discharge garbage are European and American countries.

"Congratulations, Captain! The Seafood has caught so many fish on its first trip out to sea." A female diver saw Ji Chang also coming together to catch sardines, so she came over and talked to him.

She wanted to smell Ji Chang's scent because her man had been dead for many years and she hadn't had any contact with a man for a long time.

It didn’t matter before, after all, the biggest worry is food and clothing.

But now, Ji Chang not only solved their food and clothing problems, but also let them hear what a good life should be like, so naturally they had different thoughts. Ji Chang smiled slightly, looked at the woman and said, "I have to thank you, the female divers, for bringing me good luck."

"Can we really bring good luck? The men here always think that taking women out to sea to fish is unlucky."

Ji Chang pointed to the live water tank and said, "These fish are the evidence. If it was really a bad omen, would we have been able to catch so many fish today?"

"By the way, I still don't know what your wife's name is." As he said this, Ji Chang cast his gaze on a particularly prominent part of the other person's body.

"Thank you Captain for giving us the opportunity. My name is Ishii Roko." Ishii Roko introduced herself, then pulled over a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Her name is Ishii Yuri, she is my niece and I am her aunt."

"That's my sister, Yasuda Shino. She's a few years older than my niece."

Ji Chang nodded to several people one by one. He knew that many of the Ama were relatives or friends.

After all, although this profession is dangerous, it makes more money than ordinary professions, so naturally, I would give priority to cultivating my relatives.

Although Ji Chang and the others had worked in Gutan Village before, they didn't know their names.

This group of female divers are generally young, the oldest is only 35 years old.

The larger ones probably don’t have enough energy to dive.

After all, the water in Hokkaido is relatively cold, and the number of times you can go diving in the sea is relatively small in a year, probably only about fifty or sixty days.

In the past, the money earned by the female divers at sea was mainly to supplement the family income. After all, they could only work for two months, and it was unrealistic to expect them to support a family.

As the elderly become more physically fit, they naturally have to give up the opportunity to eat to the young. The young can dive more often every day and earn more.

"Captain, this is Yuki Kawashima. We were taught by my mother."

"Yuki has two younger sisters who are also ama, but they are still in training."

"And this one is from Akiba Reiko, and was also taught by my mother."

Now, Ji Chang knew why Mrs. Ishii took the initiative to talk to him, because there were only five people in her small group among the nine Ama.

"Captain, we are from the Kitamura family. My name is Kitamura Sachiko, this is my daughter Kitamura Chiyo, and my two nieces are Kitamura Yui and Kitamura Chie."

Wow, they’re from the same family?

Ji Chang remembered all the people. He has a very good memory now.

Among the nine people, Yuki Kawashima and Chiyo Kitamura are more beautiful.

However, there is still some gap between her and Yukiko Nakamori.

If Yukiko Nakamori scored 80 points, Yuki Kawashima and Chiyo Kitamura scored 75 points.

The rest of the Ama women all scored 60-65 points, all above the passing line.

So, Ji Chang's luck is pretty good.

If she was ugly, he would rather have fewer people on the boat than take a woman who would affect his mood out to sea.

There is no choice now. Those who want to follow me in the future must score at least 75 points.

Ji Chang chatted with these female divers for a while and got closer to them.

They have always been grateful to Ji Chang for helping them, but when they recalled the day when Ji Chang saw them, everyone's face was flushed.

Normally they don’t think it’s a big deal because other female divers are the same. There are no diving suits yet, so it’s impossible to go into the sea wearing clothes.

"Okay, it's about time. We should go back to the port."

"Everyone has performed very well today. After returning home, everyone can get an extra 10 kilograms of sardines."

Ten kilograms of sardines are not worth much, but they can provide a full meal for the families of these female divers.

Ji Chang wanted them to help him improve his perception range, but he needed to pay something.
