While Jiang Xia was weighing the pros and cons, a young man in the crowd suddenly said, "How about this, I'll give you five yuan, and you give me the vegetables and the basket, okay?
Oh, this was exactly what Jiang Xia wanted.
Not only did this cover the cost of her bus ticket, but she could also exchange it for some meat tickets, a far more attractive offer than what the ticket seller had proposed.
The ticket seller fell silent instantly, but Jiang Xia didn't think she would give up so easily.
"Heh, there's a national regulation now, no private transactions allowed. My exchange of grain tickets for these goods is barter. If you buy with money, that's breaking the law!"
Just as Jiang Xia had expected.
The young man's face turned red when he heard the ticket seller's words.
His family had been farmers all their lives and had never done anything bad. How could he be framed like this just because he wanted to trade for some wild vegetables?
