Hook, line and sinker

Two goldfish, one fishing line and tackle, a glazing of river weed, three bubbles, a plate and one Lazy Susan, known as a rotary pan (direct translation) in China.

Previously I had been lied to under the influence of rice spirits and led to believe that there is no Chinese name for such a rotating contraption.

Now why would the local communist party secretary in province 2542799 commute such a fabrication?
