He had already handed this matter over to Tie Zhu, as he was becoming increasingly busy, unable to be everywhere at once, and some matters simply couldn't be handled in person.
Tie Zhu told him that there were several experienced fishermen in the village, and he had already spoken to them all. They would come to help Li Fei with fishing after they had finished their current tasks. He also mentioned that he had found a few strong young men in the village and had already started training them in basic skills on the fishing boat.
Having been a sailor for a few years, Tie Zhu had experience in this area, although he was not yet qualified to be a captain. He was very familiar with the basic functions of a fishing boat, so it was necessary for him to train them in basic skills ahead of time. Once the crew was trained, they could start working as soon as the captain arrived.
