That seems to be what he says. He is cut off by the other guy before he can say what the turnip is in exchange for. I do not know of any saying like that, and I couldn't find one online, but I think it's clear that he is comparing the girl offered to a lowly turnip by way of expressing his distaste for her in comparison with the magnificent other girl.
