We hired a cab driver to take us to Changbaixian(长白县） from Baishanshi (白山市). He was a bit reluctant at first to accept the 400RMB (58.52USD) offer for the 4 hour ride, but he took it.
About 2-hours in, our driver stopped the car to a screeching-halt outside of a winter melon (冬瓜） stand. This is how the exchange went down:
Driver: I want to buy your melons.Farmer: Each melon is 5 dollars.
Driver: nooooo.
He bargained it down and was about to walk away with a bag full o' melons, but the farmers wouldn't take his money. 100 dollar bills are occasionally counterfeited and some places will place the bills under blacklight to assert whether or not it's genuine.
Needless to say, the gimp, hidden in the back of the fruit stand, did not have a blacklight reader and they rejected his money. Walking back to the car, driver yelled back at the farmers “你们没看过钱！” Translation: "You've never even seen money!"
It was quite a fruitless endeavor.
