Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 75: Nine-segmented Shrimp Burst the Net
"Tsk tsk, you're awesome today!"

“It’s increased by 60 meters?”

Ji Chang discovered that his perception ability had reached 200 meters.

Such an increase made him very satisfied.

As for the reason, he couldn't help but glance at Chinatsu and Yui who were overworked.

Without a doubt, it has something to do with them.

Taking his eyes away from their seductive bodies, Ji Chang walked out of the lounge.

Now, they need a good rest to recover.

Coming to the driving seat, Ji Chang patted Kawashima Yuki.

Yuki Kawashima quickly opened the closed door and stood up.

With a perception range of two hundred meters, Ji Chang was able to clearly know that a school of shrimps had appeared nearby.

"Ama women...hiss..."

Ji Chang glanced at Kawashima Yuki who was squatting on the ground, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Prepare to throw the net by hand. After the boat stops, throw the net to the right side of the boat, and wait until it sinks to the bottom before pulling the net."

The female divers came out of the boat house and began to prepare to cast the net.

Yesterday, Ji Chang had asked Yukiko Nakamori and Rika Kurosawa to buy ten casting nets.

After all, the trawl net on his boat was a floating trawler, so it was not easy to catch crabs and shrimps.

However, Ji Chang didn't want to miss the shrimps and crabs because they were more valuable.

Soon, Ji Chang stopped the fishing boat.

The female divers held fishing nets and stood on the right side of the fishing boat, ready to cast the nets.

They often go out to sea, so casting nets is not a difficult task for them.

Soon, the eight female divers threw their fishing nets into the sea, covering a large area.

"What do you think we can get?" Kitamura Chiyo asked curiously.

"It's hard to say. There are not even seabirds here, so there should be no fish, right?" Kitamura Yui said as she turned her head to glance at the cab on the second floor behind her.

"Auntie Ruko, what do you think we will catch?" asked Chiyo Kitamura.

Because Ishii Roko has the most experience in going to sea, she is the leader of this female ama team.

It is mainly up to Ryuko Ishii to decide where to go diving.

After all, lack of experience may result in not much gain in a day.

"I think this place should be quite suitable for crabs to survive. Maybe the captain thinks so too." Ishii Ruko gave her own judgment.

"Crab? We'll reveal the answer later. If you guess right, Aunt Luzi, you'll be the first to toast the captain tonight."

"Speaking of drinking, I'm really looking forward to the evening. I just saw that there is soju brewed by Hanoi Izakaya in the kitchen."

"I can already smell the aroma. I really want to have a cup soon."

When it comes to drinking, all the female divers are full of anticipation.

Ji Chang naturally heard their desire, but he would not let them drink during the day as it would affect their work.

After drinking, I get seasick easily and can't work while standing.

Ji Chang didn't plan to let them go fishing at night. After all, they were women and were definitely not as physically fit as men.

However, with his boat, as long as the net is cast, there will be no empty net, and the strength is actually much lower than that of other fishing boats.

Although there is a net winch when collecting the nets, people still have to work hard and it is very tiring.

"It's sunk to the bottom. I can pull the net in." A female diver shouted excitedly, and then began to retrieve the fishing net.

After all, everyone is curious about what they can catch here.

Without seabirds circling overhead to search for schools of fish, it is a real test of eyesight and experience.

Of course, it could also be sheer luck. When they go out to sea, they often rely on luck to make a living.

"It's so heavy, there must be something inside." The dive girl pulled and she knew the net was heavy.

"Get on the net-twisting machine, don't pull it yourself." Ji Chang's voice came from the loudspeaker.

Because this net contains seventy or eighty kilograms of shrimps, it is not easy to pull them up from the seabed thirty meters deep.

The female diver immediately pulled the net rope to the net winch and used the net winch to quickly pull the fishing net back.

"Clatter, crash, crash."

Soon, a sound was heard on the water.

"What is it?" the female diver in charge of the net asked loudly, and stopped the machine at the same time.

"Shrimp! It's a nine-segmented shrimp. Such a big one." The female divers shouted excitedly.

Soon, the fishing net was pulled onto the deck.

"Quickly pour it into the live water tank and turn on the oxygen." Ishii Ruko gave the orders.

"We encountered a school of shrimps. The captain is awesome." Chiyo Kitamura excitedly walked towards the net winder and wrapped her net rope around it.

She felt that her fishing net was very heavy and she would probably get quite a lot.

After a while, the female divers shouted excitedly again: "It's amazing, this net probably contains more than 100 kilograms of nine-segment shrimps and some large crabs."

All eight nets were pulled up by them. The one with the most catch was Kitamura Chiyo's, while the others had the least, at least ten pounds of nine-segment shrimp.

All in all, it is estimated to be nearly 500 kilograms.

These nine-segment shrimps are all very big, so the price will not be cheap.

So, in just a short period of time, Ji Chang earned more than two thousand yuan.

Just for this reason, today's trip to the sea is worth it.

A lot of shrimps were stuck in the nets, so they still needed to take them off the nets.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work, keep it up."

Ji Chang stood by the window and gave a thumbs up to the female divers, then went back to start the fishing boat and began looking for new targets.

He found that his perception ability not only broke through to 200 meters, but also the clarity increased a little.

Maybe one day in the future, we will be able to perceive more than just outlines.

So, Ji Chang was also looking forward to the arrival of night.

Ji Chang was not idle in the cab either, and taught Yuki Kawashima a lot of techniques.

She is also very talented and she applies what she learns immediately, which makes Ji Chang very satisfied.

Happy times always pass by especially quickly, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

During these two hours, Ji Chang sensed some small schools of fish, but because they were so small, he didn't even think of asking the female divers to cast the net by hand, let alone trawl the net.

"You go and cook lunch with them. Cook more rice. I have a big appetite and can eat enough for three or four people." After saying that, Ji Chang did not forget to rub and grab the rice a few times.

"It turns out that the captain has such a big appetite, no wonder he is so powerful." Yuki Kawashima couldn't help but glance at the hard muscles on Ji Chang's body.

Ji Chang smiled proudly and turned off the engine of the fishing boat.

Anyway, I won’t be offline during cooking and eating time, so I might as well stop and take a break, and take a nap in the lounge. This way I will have enough energy to drink with them in the evening.

After entering the room, Ji Chang discovered that Chinatsu and Yui had both woken up.

Not only were their faces flushed, but they also looked guilty.

After all, they fell asleep from exhaustion before they could fully massage Ji Chang.

"Captain, do you want to continue the massage? We have rested enough and can continue." Chinatsu took the initiative to ask.
