Beraisa: Three meals worth of shemittah-fruit-money may be given to an am ha’aretz… provided the am ha’aretz is leaving it hefker, but if his garden is kept locked, then even the smallest coin shouldn’t be given to him.

 Summary 

 Rav Sheishes: But we learned a mishna which lists seven types of wild grown produce, and permits them to be purchased from anyone [even an am ha’aretz] (so we see that there’s no limit on how much can be spent on hefker produce). 

 Rav Sheishes answered his own question: This mishna is referring to a quantity of Mann [the amount of food necessary for meals]. 

 Rabbah bar bar Chana quoting Rabbi Yochanan: This mishna is referring to a quantity of Mann. 

 Question: Where do we find that mann refers to meals?

 Response: “Vayimann lahem hamelech”.
