When Ni Jiali was about to hand over the money, Yu Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't have a receipt. Can you write a receipt for us? We need it."
"Receipt?" The middle-aged man looked at Yu Zhiyuan in confusion. "Just write on a piece of paper?"
"Yes, just write on a piece of paper." Yu Zhiyuan nodded.
"Brother, please write it for us. We need it when we go back. We need reimbursement." At this time, Miao Yuanliang also walked up and took out a cigarette from his pocket to light it for the man.
"Okay, I'll write one for you." The middle-aged man smoked and his attitude became much better. Of course, the most important thing was that he saw Ni Jiali already holding 200 yuan in her hand.
He took out a small notebook from his bag and tore a piece of paper from it. After thinking for a while, he asked, "How should I write the receipt?"
"Just write it roughly. Anyway, the general meaning is that the fishing fee is 50 yuan or something." Yu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, it's the management fee. Only people who work for the government like you can think of it. Look, you can just casually come up with the whole name."
The middle-aged man said and began to write. Yu Zhiyuan was shocked by the man's words. "This man is so sharp that he can tell at a glance that we work for the government."
"You people, at a glance, I can tell that you work for the government. You even want reimbursement when you spend some money. Tsk, the government's money is so easy to cheat." The middle-aged man said and handed the receipt to Yu Zhiyuan.
Seeing Yu Zhiyuan put away the receipt, Ni Jiali glanced at Chen Xing calmly. At this time, without saying anything, she gave 200 yuan to the man.
The middle-aged man took the money and left while humming a tune. Ni Jiali walked back to Chen Xing and glanced at Yu Zhiyuan and Miao Yuanliang. Ni Jiali didn't need to think to know that it must be Chen Xing's idea just now. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to do that. She just didn't know what Chen Xing would do in the end.
"I've been here several times before, but I've never heard of collecting money. I don't know when they started to collect fees." Ni Jiali tried to find a topic.
Ms. Ni, you haven't been here for a year, so it's normal for there to be some changes. Yu Zhiyuan answered.
It wasn't a big deal to collect money, but the key was that they didn't know why they were collecting it. Ni Jiali smiled. Mayor Chen, I have a question that I don't understand. Who is in charge of these rivers and lakes?
There are many departments with administrative authority. It depends on what kind of administrative authority is involved. However, there are no large rivers or lakes or river basins in Jiang City, so the city has not set up a special Lake Administration Bureau to manage these water resources. For example, some places with large rivers and lakes have set up a special Lake Administration Bureau. For the management of rivers and lakes in Jiang City, the Water Conservancy Bureau and the Land and Resources Bureau have corresponding administrative authority. Of course, if it involves the authority of other departments, they also have corresponding administrative authority. Chen Xing smiled.
This was too complicated. It was just a lake, and it was so complicated to manage. Ni Jiali curled her lips.
The division of responsibilities and administrative authority was a little complicated, and some even conflicted, but the actual situation in China was like this. Chen Xing smiled. In fact, some division of authority was also necessary. For example, if someone died in the lake, should the Water Conservancy Bureau or the Land and Resources Bureau be in charge? No, it had to be under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau. Therefore, the Public Security Bureau also had corresponding authority when it involved the scope of their responsibilities.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Ni Jiali thought it was true. It was understandable that most rivers and lakes were under the jurisdiction of the Water Conservancy Bureau and the Land and Resources Bureau, but if someone died in the lake, the Water Conservancy Bureau and the Land and Resources Bureau really couldn't do anything about it.
They continued to fish, and Ni Jiali didn't mention that Yu Zhiyuan asked the middle-aged man for a receipt. Although she didn't know what Chen Xing wanted to do, it was obviously not a good thing for these people who charged randomly. Ni Jiali was happy to see this situation.
Got it, got it. Chen Xing's expression suddenly changed, and he pulled up the fishing rod without saying anything. As expected, a fish had been hooked. Although it was not big, it was the first catch of the day.
Oh, Mayor Chen, you are really amazing. You are the first one to catch a fish. Ni Jiali smiled.
Luck. Chen Xing smiled, and he was in a good mood.
I just went to rent fishing gear. The food stalls and restaurants over there have people who help people process the fish they catch. It's up to you whether you want to boil or roast the fish. Miao Yuanliang smiled.
Well, then let's work hard and catch a few more, and we will have dinner tonight. Chen Xing smiled.
"That's right. We can make one boiled fish, one steamed fish, and one grilled fish. We will have a fish feast tonight." Ni Jiali said excitedly.
"To make grilled fish, we have to catch a big one." Yu Zhiyuan interrupted.
The few of them chatted and laughed until the evening. They had a good harvest, catching six or seven fish. Passersby saw them and said that they were lucky. Some people didn't catch anything in the afternoon, but there were also good fishing friends who had a lot of fish.
I think there will be some leftovers for the fish feast tonight. When they walked to the food stall by the lake with the water containing the fish, Chen Xing smiled.
Then let's take it back to eat. Ni Jiali smiled.
When they arrived at the food stall, they asked and learned that the restaurants and food stalls here also collected fish from customers. The fish that the customers couldn't finish could be sold directly to the food stall or the restaurant.
The processing fee was not cheap. Ni Jiali said after asking about the price. Although they provided the fish themselves, the food stalls charged a lot of money to help them process the fish.
"It's rare to come here, so let it be." Chen Xing smiled.
Ni Jiali heard this and didn't say anything. Money was a small matter. The key was that Chen Xing was happy.
A portion of Sichuan poached fish, a portion of steamed fish, a portion of grilled fish, and two side dishes. Dinner was complete for the few of them.
Yu Zhiyuan sat next to Chen Xing and asked casually when he saw the boss coming to pour water. "Boss, what's the matter with the fees here? I remember that we didn't have to pay for fishing before."
It was the villagers next to them who collected the money. They said that the fish in Yanshan Lake were put there by them and they couldn't let others catch them for free. The boss was a burly man in his forties or fifties. When he heard Yu Zhiyuan's question, he answered without thinking.
Since they put the fish in, there was no reason to let others catch them for free. Yu Zhiyuan suddenly understood.
How could they release fish fry into Yanshan Lake? They were just using it as an excuse to collect money. The boss curled his lips. "My food stall has to pay for it. It's rent and management fees."
The boss was obviously quite resentful. After saying that, he cursed in a low voice.
"Boss, that's strange. Who collected the money?"
The village next to them was a fruit village. The money was collected by the village committee. As for where it went in the end, no one knew. Some people had protested before and even found a TV station to expose it, saying that it was illegal, but it was useless. It was said that the village had a strong relationship with the Water Conservancy Bureau and the Land and Resources Bureau.
"I see." Yu Zhiyuan nodded. After asking these questions, he didn't say anything.
